Topic: An analogy in gambling. (Read 959 times)

Indeed, though it's a hard lesson to overcome after realizing such mistakes but you need to push yourself not to continue and to lose more, it's always better to have that kind of control inside you to prevent losing your hard earned money, if you just wish to enjoy then stick with yourself with your plan of using spare money and not to feel the pressure when you been rush by your emotion to keep adding up with your bankroll.

To be honest, you were actually lucky in your own experience since you recovered your money at the end. I remember when I had same experience but the sad thing about mine is I lost every dime that was used to send me the errand and couldn't return home to my parents because I know I would not be able to handle the consequences that comes with returning home without what I was asked to go but or the money that was given to me.
Just like you've already advised, I'll want to add to what you said by telling all gamblers never to gamble with any money you're not capable of losing because that might be your fate at the end.

You are even lucky that you did not lose the money to virtual betting, as those feelings could have been double compared to what you were scared of in the first few minutes that the game was going on and why your faith was being decided.
 
Even if the money that was given to you was not to be used that instant, that idea of even thinking about doubling it in the first place is very wrong.

Any money that doesn't belong to the person should never be used for anything else rather than what it was meant for, either to help keep it for the owner or use it for what it's meant for exactly in order not to break trust and endanger yourself of repaying back debt.

I must say in gambling no should ever try to use the money that is not their own money,  the feeling is so bad, I have had such experience before, i was sent on an errand and I found myself in the gambling hall, the normal vitual football betting to double the money i was sent on an errand with, the emotional devastation I passed through while those games was playing is not something I will want any one to experience even though I won and left the place immediately because what would have become of me if I had lost that money, those are the experience i had in my earliest days in gambling but now i know better especially with most of the knowledge that is shared here.

I would also agree on that, improving your skills in poker. If you keep playing everyday poker and I don't mean to deposit money to play, you can also do so by all means, yet I mean the majority of the free rolls that for example some casinos have ongoing every day. I have experienced this first hand when I have started to end in prize spots there although not the prize I want as only top 3 get decent prizes there, every one else just get very little amount of money as reward. So this can be a good choice to limit your play to free run games and not using money of your own. In luck games like slot machines I can assure you also from personal experience that things will hit you pretty badly for sure, it is just a question of when and not if you will be hit so better to stay away from that.

You ruin your finances and expectations believing you can make success in gambling, it aggravates if one now makes it their sole means of earning, such a person will just be frustrated and depressed. This calls for the true study of gambling and its nature before engaging in it, which will reveal the truth about it and guide one's path to the reality of how to do it rightly. Gambling is certainly not that door you knock on for financial needs, but it is possible to gain some passive income from it if you are lucky. This passive income is such that can never be guaranteed which is the main factor to consider before depending on gambling which is a game of chance.

When you talk about luck-based games, even if you know a lot of strategies, there's no guarantee that you will win. This is why it is not advisable to use funds that are not yours and allocated for other basic needs.
If you want better chance of winning, explore your skills in poker or sportsbetting. Because as you gain experience on these aspects of gambling, you will have good grasp on how to take advantage of every opportunity and use it to gain profits.

Only those who picture gambling from this direction can survive some tough situation in gambling.
 
You can only learn and improve your skill of prediction to increase your chance of winning, but one can never learn how to always be winning the casino; all the time it's not possible.
 
Even if the person is the luckiest person on earth, the casino is not only built to work with luck alone, so accepting the fact that you can still have those skills and still lose to the casino is the safest way to play.

That is normal if a gambler thinks like that because his minds can tells many things about gambling especially telling that we can win in the next rounds. But if we can control our emotion better, we will not trigger and deposit more money because we know that can only gives more losses to us.
We will not use more money to playing gambling especially if we already lose in the previous rounds. We must keep take care of ourselves from the big lose because that will comfortable to us.
When you can not control yourself, that will be the time for you to see the reality on gambling and you will regret when you realize you already lose more losses.

Of course, and what I think if skill is the main key for a gambler to always be able to win then most likely everyone will prefer to learn various gambling skills especially in sports betting rather than looking for a real job like in general and maybe I am also one of the people who will do that, but anyway it is clear as we understand and what you have said that skill is not something that guarantees victory, that's a fact, if you are able to use your rational mindset then I think you will agree with this idea,

Victory can come with any scenario, sometimes even though your skills are very good but it is very possible for you to still experience defeat occasionally, and sometimes even though for example someone only relies on luck in the sense of making decisions without being based on prior consideration in choosing a team to bet on but when luck comes at the right time then of course victory will also occur.

Indeed, if you failed to control yourself then chances that you might add more to your bankroll is not by far, there's always instances that you may follow your emotion thinking that on you next try you'll be able to make it and recover, or, since that you are just using spare it's not prohibited to increase your bets.

You might fall into something that may lead you to lose a lot and suffer with big regrets when losing huge amount.

Even the money we can afford to loose is sometimes difficult to stick to because you would feel you see higher potential at some point in certain games much more than you had so you would feel its okay to increase your stake and putting up fund you probably are not ready to lose at the moment. Low odds or higher odds, it's just mainly about luck even if you get so confident in the fact that you believe you are going to win, you may still loose if you aren't lucky enough so generally look out for what works for you and curtail greedy as much as possible as it's the biggest thing to fight against in gambling.

If it were so, then you could learn gambling, as you learn some job and then only earn money on it, but it seems that this is far from true and even experienced players lose money in gambling and no one can have any guarantees where there is a place for chance. It seems to me that such people who count only on earnings in gambling, or not, or there are very few of them, it can be an additional income or a hobby.

Very outspoken and very correct, I completely agree with all that you have said.
Whether skill, luck, knowledge, what ever, there is no guarantee of any kind in winning through gambling, if there was, many gamblers will dwell on that guarantees a make life changeing amount of money overtime, even if it means making a maximum of $1 every day, some gamblers will make sure to dedicate themselves to accumulating this $1 dollar every day until it become a  really huge amount of money.

Having the best of skill is never a guarantee to winning in sports, not just in gambling, winning is a combination of luck and skill, we have several proves of this if we are to go into proves.

If that is the case, then it means that the results in gambling are certain if you have the skills, or what is meant is that skills are a guarantee of winning, and if that is the case then it can be concluded that gambling can always give you money when you already have a lot of knowledge and skills and also gambling can make you rich in a short time.

But I think it is clear that it does not make sense, because in fact the opposite is true, gambling will always be about two things, namely luck and skill, you cannot say that when a gambler plays without skills and only relies on luck then they will definitely lose, remember one thing that sometimes it is not uncommon for a much stronger team to lose to a weaker team because of something that happens unexpectedly on the field.

The fact is that people who stake to have low potential winnings often takes their time to analyze a bet very well before staking and the risk is lesser when compared with someone that stakes to have high potential wins they always takes the higher risks both in gambling with high odds and making so much accumulated events that will amount to a huge amount of money which the possibility of the bets playing accordingly is very rare but for someone who aims at having a low potential winning can decide to use a huge amount and stake an odd that can easily play according to prediction regardless of the little amount they will win from such bets, so that is the more reason why low potential bets are most likely to win than high potential winning bets.


Sometimes large winnings do affect a casino because i have seen a situation where a huge bet is won and the casino company reached and agreement with the gambler who won the bet to be paying installmentally so if the winning didn't cause any damage to the casino they should have payed the won bet at once.

Make yourself that delusional then you are fucked up when it comes to financial aspect on which we know that gambling could give out. There would really be those individuals who would really be treating up gambling as if it is really that their chance to make themselves rich without even trying to look on what are the risks involved into it. People will really be just that making up those kind of adjustments on the moment that they will be experiencing hard situations. We do know that when it comes into this manner on which people would really be making out some assumptions that they will really be able to make money with gambling.
The main thing that comes up into our mind is that dealing up with gambling will be making up some quick bucks on which it is really just that possible but of course the risks is much more higher.

Gambling isnt really that bad as long you would really be that making yourself responsible into the actions that you are taking. Dont make yourself that delusional or else you would really having a hard time on
on making out some recovery because once that addiction will really be that shackling you out then it wouldnt really be so easy for you to get out. There would really be times or moments that you will
find yourself having those bad situations on which it would really be leading into that lesson learned thing but actually this could really be that advoided if you are really that mindful into your actions.

Yes, and it is very convenient to say that in the long term, in every game, it is known that in the Long term it is more difficult to win, or it is almost impossible, and it is simple, the advantage of the house is based on spending the profits for their casinos, and to fight with that it is Practically impossible , that is why the management of Money and risks is Essential for everything , it is the most intelligent thing that a player should do before playing

Yes, nothing wrong with that but we must accept the fact that making money in gambling is difficult and not many people can do that. We can suffer and desperate chasing the win and make money.

Yes, I believe that some people can makes money from gambling. That is possible but they should know that will be not easy to wins so they need to be careful when playing gambling. Perhaps, they can use sports betting to have fun and makes money but they must learns more about analysis and other things so they can have a chance to wins. But we don't have to be serious in gambling and considers that is a fun activity so when we lose, we will not regret. But if we win, we can feel happy because we can predict the match with right.

Exactly, it will depend with how a person treats his finances, will help a lot if you know how to manage your money there are many gamblers who fall into addiction as they missmanage their money, they are pushing forward instead of cooling down when suffer with loses, those kinds of things are mostly the reason why instead of enjoying you'll put a lots of pressure and lose  a lot of money in the long run.
