Topic: Betting significant amount - page 4. (Read 987 times)

Exactly what you have done, never be interested in allocating large amounts of money from what you have, I expect most gamblers including newcomers will put 1% - 5% of the money they have at that time. Even though they may be wealthy people but I still think that kind of budget limit is necessary, they are still at the beginning and if they are able to set such a small budget for gambling then even if they want to increase the amount of bets next time it will definitely be difficult to do because they are used to small budget amounts, and well there will definitely be a fear of increasing that amount, like you said and indeed it is much better.


I think everyone and anyone is obliged to apply a lot of restrictions when they want to gamble, none other than for themselves especially so that their finances do not plummet too much due to loss, because it is true that if they come with no limiting tools whatsoever then obviously negative impacts will come, even they could lose all their money in one night. So the point is that it is better to use the limits that you think are the best, it will be very useful when we gamble, because it is the only tool that can help you to minimize losses, in fact it is better to prevent than to cure. I hope you can recover your losses soon.

No, the maximum I already bet in a single shot was 9%-10% of my total bankroll. I fear to bet more than that and regret later. It must be really painful to lose a considerable portion of your bankroll because a wrong single bet. It would definitely impact my mood negatively for days until I could assimilate the situation better. Anyway, initial bets shouldn't exceed 0,1%-1% of your total bankroll. To reach an extreme like I did to bet 10% at once was due to facing a long loss streak and trying to recover what was already lost, in vain...

That's what gets people addicted and I feel like you're going to have some problems quitting because the way you describe it, you like it too much and in time you're going to bet more and more to feel like this, just like a climber must go to a higher mountain to feel like he's achieving something and a race driver is going to push the car to the limits because it's harder and harder to get that adrenaline rush.


But you lose most of the time. That and the word "worth it" don't go together well.


And feel even more beaten most of the time.

Gamble only what you can afford to lose, as they usually say, and I agree with it. In gambling, the key to winning big money is not a one-time success; consistency is still the key to that success. We cannot achieve that in just a short span of time; we have to train ourselves, improve our skills, and eventually, we will become successful in gambling. Betting a significant amount is only advisable if you are truly confident and your statistics show that you are already profitable. Otherwise, it's best to keep it low and just have fun with gambling.

Everyone has a different view, it seems you are an addict who may have the mindset of gambling to win, I think that is wrong in my view, because if you gamble without clear limits it will waste all our money, there is still time tomorrow to play again if you lose or not. There is no harm in stopping for a moment, especially if you have reached your gambling budget limit.

Gambling must have a budget limit because that way we can avoid addiction and not exceed the limit, never bet to win because it will never end, there is only spending money, bet to have fun so that when we lose we don't continue to be obsessed with winning and fall into the trap. to the point of going beyond the point of even addiction, but it still comes back to the fact that each of our views are different, it seems your view is different from some of the more normal gamblers. BTW, our instincts are not always right

We don't necessarily have to stop or pause when gambling as long as we can afford to continue with the gambling since we have the money and we are not gambling to make money but to have fun, you may agree with me that not every gambler is that interested in making money, maybe if we can first considers the loss and the fun both altogether, then we choose which to go after first because all fingers are not equal, the capacity we all have in finances are different from each other, but on a general note, we should not gamble too much that we don't take a look on how we've gone on recent.

We should be specific with this, though — having a certain amount as a limit is necessary, as stopping when we lose is not the right way. The thing is, we gamble to win, so why would we stop when we lose, especially when there's still a portion left in our bankroll? Sometimes we have to trust our instincts, take bigger risks, but it's important to stay disciplined and stick with the game plan, being specific at all times.

Stopping when you lose is recommended so we don't experience more losses. And you have done what is best for you so that you can control your emotions quite well. It requires continuous practice and not many people can do it. But if someone makes his last bet by betting big money, he should have thought about the risks because if he loses, he could lose all his money on his last chance. And @OP can accept the risk so he still often does it even though there is regret at the end of the game if he loses, but it is normal for someone to regret at the end of the game because they have lost.

In my case I don't, as I tend to control my emotions quite well in this respect, although when winning a big win, for example, it is inevitable to feel a rush. What happens to me when I'm losing is the opposite, I get bored and cut the session short, I stop playing instead of playing what I have left, which is what you do. Sometimes I've planned to cut the session and I've extended it a bit more to see if something would come out, but if I continue with a losing streak, in the end I close and leave.

The feeling is mutual. I do that hoping to change the losing streak scene and environment while gambling for long hours. Sometimes the result is good, sometimes it's bad. We are gambling after all and just taking risks since we are losing in the first place at that particular time.

Doing gambling for long, then still the starting bankroll is not moving at all and worst, still in negative, I'd rather take the risks of betting all those left, around 25% to 30% of the bankroll. If we nailed it, that will change the feeling and will start again being hype to continue.

The only problem is, when I do win after that risky action, it fuels me to gamble more and will not take a break lol.

That's not insane since "what if" we really win after dealing with that thrill? I sometimes do that.

Referring to my own experience, especially when I'm really on a bad losing streak after playing for several hours, I sometimes consider going all-in on my remaining bankroll on that particular gambling session since it's like, I'm now wasting time for several hours and nothing good still happening lol.

If I lose after risking an all-in, then stop, go to sleep, and move on.

If I won, then the fun will just continue lol.

Satisfying your thrills?? Hahhhh... Alright, in what way do you normalize the frequency - influenced by your thrills to betting significantly and utilizing even more of your bankrolls??.... How's that fun to you?? Hasn't there been a time that you feel used up too much and that you have to stop wagering for Christ sake???
Well, I understand how strong the urge is when you're on the losing side - it makes no difference when you keep wagering anyways.

Every now and again, yes. I gamble mostly for the entertainment and the thrill of it and so there will be times, and it doesn't have to be me sitting on my last leg about to bet it all, that I bet a significant portion of my bankroll for the hell of it. It's fun, it gets the blood going for me since I don't cheap out on bets like these (and I don't belligerently spend either so don't worry), so the money that I burn is definitely something that for people are significant.

I don't really advise it especially for people who are gambling on a budget or those that are looking to relinquish poor gambling habits as this practice when left uncheck may lead you to even worse gambling behaviors down the line, but for those of us who have already cracked the code on gambling responsibly, this is the way to go if you want to get thrills.

This is typical gambling behavior and what casinos bank on.  People always tend to chase their loses with bigger bets causing them to lose big to the casinos.  Last thing they want is a repetitive strategy and holding the line.  Ypu will not win everytime like that so long as you don't go all in all the time you have a shot at beating the book.

No, I do not do the same thing as you @OP betting significant amount of my bankroll when my bankroll gone down to a certain percentage.  I bet in a fixed amount manner waiting for my wagering to either give me an insane win by hitting high multiplier or drain down until my bankroll got depleted.  I am not impatient and I don't get triggered when my bankroll had gone down to less than 40% of my initial fund.

Health is wealth and whatever activities you want to do you must first have good health to be able to stay ahead in everything,  excessive gambling can indeed lead to high chances of health issues so at that we have to take every possible steps to guide ourselves through all the time and maintain a balance state of mind.

Betting above an amount we can afford to lose is something that should be avoided in all round,  because that could put you in a position that you may not be able to bear since gambling is not a guaranteed activity and it winning is only based on luck.

Having a losing streak makes you bet for more and yes I also did this as long as I’m still on a budget. As a gambler we want that excitement and yes you can have it by increasing your bet even if it you are not losing, just don’t be greedy on chasing losses because you might forget to gamble within your limit.

Well, if it turns out a win I guess you'll get back to your regular betting again, unless you're tired and exhausted of the thrill you had and call it a day, then that's a win situation for you, otherwise you'll gonna risk that capital fron lossing again.
I've done it several times before and yes the OP is correct, most of the time you'll end up emptying your bankroll after that 1 last time huge bet because you have mixed emotions and one of those are frustrations, regardless if you feel thrilled with this one last shot, you still can't deny that frustrations will be present.

Only a few of gamblers who dont really mind on losing as long they do able to experience the thrill that they do seek or simply they had really enjoyed the game which it was really that supposed the main reason on why we do gamble and on why its been created which it is really that intended just for "fun" but we know that there are people who dont really like on losing money or the game on which they would really be that too positive that they could really be able to make up some winnings and when they lose then they cant really be just that able to accept it and this is why they would really be that impulsive when it comes to their gambling session
because they are really that expecting that much which arent supposed to be done because it would really be just making you desperate and if you arent that careful in regarding with your motives
then this is where it would really be making you desperate and this is where mistakes and errors would happen due to wrong bad decision that has been made basing up with those bad assumptions and targets
that you do have in mind.

I guess it has nothing to do with our health though, of course it's important to us and we shouldn't take it for granted. But what the OP meant is the thrill here, it's like Bungee jumping or any other thrill sports. And you can see that there are people who enjoyed it.

As for this kind of method for gamblers, yeah, I also enjoyed this kind of adrenaline action specially in a land base casinos, it's going to be one on one, either you or the house are going to take the win and so it's very excited like in card games or even in roulette.
