It Can Go Either Way
The loss making possibilities in baccarat must never be underestimated or ignored. At the end of the day baccarat is a gamble and you have the opportunity to either make a profit or loss depending on how a particular game goes for you on the day. It is in those moments of failure that your spirit and resolve is tested to the maximum. The temptation is to minimize the risk of ever falling again. You may sink into despair and end up giving up the game altogether. This might be a good thing for you if gambling on baccarat has affected you negatively in some way.
The people who give up gambling because of failure are not high profile because they usually withdraw from the whole industry and will take time to undergo some sort of detoxification program away from the pastime. This means that to most observers of the game, this group of people remains largely hidden from public view.
A Bad Reputation
The media tends to want to focus on the more negative aspects of the gambling business. Thus if someone has been playing baccarat and they have lost all their money or if they have been an outstanding citizen who has joined the criminal underground to fund a gambling habit, then the tabloids will cover that story. Even if it is a feel good story about someone who has worked to escape the clutches of a gambling addiction, the media will make it about pushing down gambling and warning the general community about the dangers of participating in this pastime.
This is a political move that can hinder those who wish to get over their losses in gambling. Some people will decide that a loss is a call to arms to even make greater biddings at far greater risks. These people will work on the hope that the worst of their situation is finished and all they have to do is move on to greater things. They will in other words put on a brave face in the face of growing failure.
If you decide to become reckless after a significant loss, you could go either of two ways. The first way is losing even more money so that the safety nets that might have held you back are also destroyed. This is a foolhardy way that can lead to personal ruin. The second route is that you make a bit more money which can somewhat improve your mood and attitude towards baccarat. Depending on the outcome of your reckless spending, you will end up either being comforted or put further back.
The best way to deal with a loss is to be philosophical about the whole situation. As they say you may win some but you will also lose some. You do not need to be ashamed because you have made one bad gambling decision. The shame should come about if this is a repeated experience that you never seem to learn from. If you have learnt something from your failure, then you can store it at the back of your brain and reuse it in your future games of baccarat.
