Topic: Betting significant amount - page 3. (Read 987 times)

So it looks like that you are chasing adrenaline rush. Look, at the end of the day, it's your money, your rules. If you can genuinely afford to lose what you're putting on the line and are getting the entertainment value you seek, then that's your call. I mean, some people pay for skydiving or for other crazy stuffs to get their heart pumping, but you're just doing it through gambling. However, I would like to say, just be sure you're not sliding into addiction territory. Chasing the thrill can become something else if you're not careful. Remember to check in with yourself and ensure that this isn't negatively affecting other aspects of your life or relationships. Stay aware, stay in control, and never gamble what you can't afford to lose. You also said that you go all in so you can recover your loss. Don't go chasing after losses too. You might have gotten lucky today, but not tomorrow.

It is something I had considered to do sometime in the future, since I mostly try to make my budget to last as much as possible and have a relatively "small thrill" gambling hour.

Though, I would like to do that if I am celebrating with friends a special occasion or during a travel to an exotic place, etc. It would me more interesting than doing it from the computer, in my opinion.

At least, you are fully aware your high risks moves are supposed to be about thrill and not entirely for the sake of profit.

This is true. People begin their gambling journey by thinking of winning it all and having a shortcut to riches. In reality, they are asking for something else totally different from being rich. They're asking for addiction, for losses, for regrets, if they continue gambling with that mindset. There is still a possible redemption for these people, though, if they recognized early that they are in for a wild ride. Gambling is supposed to be fun, and no one should look at it as a way to riches.

Talking about being confident, it's rare in gambling, regardless of the kind of decision you take. When I go all in while gambling, like any other person, I'm only confident of winning or losing. The positive aspect of it is that, the thrill of winning is higher than losing. I always have this immense feeling of winning, surprisingly I don't get sad when I lose the money. What keeps me rolling with this strategy is that, I've tried it and it worked; a good number of times. Like I said, it's not a reckless move, the best time for it always show up and taking the risk can worth it. Strategies work differently for everyone, according to the method of administration. What a remarkable profit, if you win.


That's for gamblers who have not mastered, the art of going all in. Nobody can withstand the high losses of gambling with only a technique. If going all in is all a gambler got, definitely he'll fall into such problems. And that'll not only affect his bankroll, but also drastically diminish the fun. Chasing losses leads to gambling addiction and I don't support such things. Each gambling strategy one has or possess, should be implemented at the right time and moment.

Regardless of how much you staked,  losing is losing anyways toe both big amount and small amount the pain of losing is the same unless for the recovery from the loses that are not same,  why because,  you can easily recover from a small lose and you can easily have the guilt to continue playing if your amount in loses is not significant enough.

But if you lose a bigger amount,  you will have some hard time to recover from it and in most cases you may not have any funds left to continue playing with.

Certain players begin from the wrong point and perception of gambling: It's meant to be a bit of fun with the huge long shot chance that you might get a great return on the amount you "invested". However the majority of players will walk away with very little and it should ultimately trigger a response that the odds are not in their favor, so it is likely a place to avoid if your intention is taking a shortcut to wealth. If you're playing a session of over an hour on a completely unskilled game like slots, then you are walking down a very dark and dangerous path which will lead to devastation if you stay on it. Casinos are designed to separate you from any money you deposit with them and will use every psychological trick they can to achieve that aim.

On the time that you do see and being confident about your hands in regarding into those cards then this is where it would starts your heart pump and your mind and heart/emotion would really be starting out to create those kind of thinking that you should really be going all in because you are really that confident that you would gonna win. I could really attest on such scenario because this is something that will really be able to feel out that kind of thrill and excitement at the same time on which this is something that mostly prefer and dont mind about spending up their entire balance for that one shot. We know that there are differences in between card games and casino games which we know that making some all in kind of behave on casino games isnt really that something that you could really be making yourself that confident on doing so, considering the risks involved and the odds/chance of winning then you do already picture out on what would gonna happen.

Betting out accordingly with your budget and never ever make that all in and make out some another deposit just because you had lost that previous one. Dont tend to chase up
losses because this is where people do mostly commit out mistakes and would really be having that kind of problem.

Going all in, isn't a bad technique for some card games like Poker. Often times, it works for me and I enjoy going all in, especially when my card ranks at straight flush and some times flush. I don't encourage using such technique recklessly, because when winning is not guaranteed it'll be a waste of funds. Like OP said, it's risky, but if one wins, it covers for the losses and lands the player back in game with profits.  Quite correct, I feel good to play all in, even when I lose out my bet, yet I'm not addicted and not feeling any sign of addiction. Since, there is a possibility of winning, it's not boredom that leads me to do that, also I see it as part of the game, if I win I keep playing if not I leave. I've seen good gamblers, who engage in such practice and indeed it's fun. However, it's not for everyone to go all in, because most players will feel like they made the wrong decision.

I plan my betting amount prior to when the actual activity begins. With this strategy or plan I don't do anything too extreme. On very rare occasions I have tested the level of risk I can carry by next betting between 80% to 95% of my bankroll. After all no risk no reward. And when I win , I buy myself a bottle of beer and if I lose, I chide myself on how stupid my plan was.

I know some newbie may be reading this and thinking to himself I am going to try this out. I would like to mention that this is a very risky strategy and if all you are plan on trying it out, use only money that you can afford to lose for your bankroll.

That's what I thought when I read his post. Is he trying to wing it up to a point at which he panics and goes all in thinking that if the gods want him to go bust he's not going to wait, or is he bored by hours of gambling with no thrill and wants to give himself a boost and go all in?

I never do anything like that. If I did, I'd feel like the game threw me off balance and made me panic and go all in when there are no signs that I should do it. If you want to go all in, just do it, don't play for 3 hours trying to win and then break down and bet it all.

Yes, and it makes sense that limiting funds or limiting oneself is a simpler and slightly easier way for gamblers to do it, but the problem is that it all still depends on the thoughts of each gambler.
Because even if you plan something to limit your budget or limit yourself from betting, you will still break these rules yourself when your desire to win big becomes stronger, you are too brave to take risks and ignore your own rules, which ends up running out of budget again.
With this I am a little doubtful that even experienced gamblers will fail to limit their budget or stop when they lose because it is very difficult for gamblers to stop unless they have no more money.

The question you have to ask yourself is this.... Are you trying to make up your losses OR are you addicted to the thrill of risking your money to do it? A lot of gamblers are addicted to the "good" feel endorphins that are released in the brain when they risk a lot of money on a big bet....  

This is the first signs of gambling addiction and you have to be aware of that... because you are possibly going in that direction. You should decide if you are going to gamble for fun or if you are going to gamble to make a profit.  

Correct, sometimes losing is more than winning. We should have a proper limitation to the amount of money we are about to spend so that we will not be out of our current budget and it will not be a problem for us since we will have a clear amount in our mind that when we are losing we will not add more money to play with it since it will be hard to stop when we don't have a limit.

No definitely. During the time of my gambling spree, I only betted the amount that I am willing to lose, which is around 20% of my current savings given by my father. Regardless of the result whether I profit or lose, I stop gambling once I spend the amount that I initially allocated for it.

Good for you OP since you managed to recover your winnings at the end of your game. But please be careful as these results can be two-sided. While you may experience winning most of the time, never discount the possibility of you losing more than what you have started.

I never go all in on a single bet, even after losing a few bets in a row. I tend to follow the plan.
That said, I rarely play fast games like dice or crash. I try to bet on sports more, so after losing a few bets I just go on like normal and follow my intuition. Sometimes you just can't help it and can't avoid the loss.

OP, you say you lose that all in bet most of the time, why do you continue to do it then? Feels a bit suicidal to me, but if it keeps you sane, I won't argue. It's important to stay away from mental institutions

Getting a big win in gambling is a big hope for everyone who is involved in gambling. And it is true that, when we expect too much to win, there will be something bad that will happen to us and one of them is by making crazy bets.

I am quite aware that I very rarely get a big win in gambling. But this does not make me completely abandon gambling. So what I do is to limit myself when gambling, namely by limiting my deposit, bet amount and time to play gambling. So even though I can't get a big win in gambling but at least I can minimize the losses I experience and I am also quite aware that victory does not come in every game, so going all-in for one game is ridiculous.

And All the things and limits that I apply in gambling are nothing but this I do for my own good in gambling.

10% of our bankroll is still a good amount to get but for me 5% is okay, honestly in the world of gambling we must know that not all the Time we will win and most of our time is that we will loss but still a good decision and choose the amount of money we will bet. But once we will loss a quiet big then all we aiming for us to recover that loss so we decide to bet much bigger so if we will win our loss will came back.

I try significant amount but it is relative. However I don't keep going on it especially if I have recorded lose meaning I give up to reducing my stake. If I keep losing then it tells me it is time to give up on that day to try next time. I don't allow the greed to play on me because most times what gamblers do is to look at potential winning and not at possible winnings. So I do calculate my chances to a game and if I'm not getting it that way I believe it is not my lucky day at it , instead of forcing it I will let go for that day.

I used to be a risk taker before where I risk my last fun just to recover my losses from a loss streak but I realized that it isn't helping but rather makes me feel regretful in the end. Since then, I strictly disciplined myself and put limitations in all that I do. I learned to stop when I have reached my limit and not to touch my remaining balance once I exceed.
If we will not control our emotions then it will be the one who will control us which might ruin our gambling journey which could actually lead into gambling addiction. Proper control is always necessary and we shouldn't have to be risk takers all the time.

well, when I put money in the casino, before I put the money in the casino I make my calculations of the amount of money I will put in each game and how many games per week I will bet on them, for example if this week at most I will place a bet on 5 games and I intend to put 2$ in each game, so I put 10$ in the casino and follow this management without deviations, that is, even if I lost in 3 games, which would be a loss of 6$ and I only ended up with 4$, I I don't do that kind of thing out of desperation or getting angry and putting all the remaining $4 into a single game. I don't do that, because it would be breaking my bankroll management and at that moment I would no longer be playing a responsible game and I would be letting my emotions take over me, something that shouldn't happen

I know that many people, when they put money into the casino, still have no idea how to manage their bankroll and don't have any strategy or goals, they just play and then when they are losing a lot, they soon give up and put everything they have left into one round, as if they were going to think: this is all over and that's why it's all or nothing. When you are lucky enough to win using this method, you soon think that it is a good method that works. I know this because that was exactly what I did 4 years ago when I started gambling, I remember that at that time I had no idea how to analyze games

but I put money on every game that involved a high team against an average team, in this scenario my bet was on the big team, but I lost my bet because the big team drew and with that my bankroll was greatly reduced, and when I realized that There was little money left for my bankroll to run out, so I put all my money into another game that was also a big team against a small team and luckily I got it right, this happened to me 3 times until I decided to stop playing because it was pointless to continue doing it. that kind of things
