You're not alone.
You'll NEVER win it all back.
STOP now.
If you find it difficult to stop, seek help.
This. If you don't think you're a problem gambler, set a limit for yourself next time. $400, $900, the $1150 you lost last time, any amount (but bring it all in cash instead of paying the ATM fees). If you lose it and can't refrain from gambling more, you're not in control.
But, in this case you did win back your losses twice over... And still gave it all back. It's a compulsion, and it's not going to change if you keep gambling.
