This is a very terrible experience to all the gamblers including me because I have had the experience countless times and it has stopped me from winning my bet most times. Some times I wonder if it's a spiritual thing because I will make my selections but when it's time to stake the game I will always add another game which to me is a sure banker as I fondly call it and at the end of the day, that particular game will be the one to spoil the game this experience is mostly found in football (soccer predictions)
This is the best way to overcome that experience you can give it a try if you want to, before adding another game to the one you want to bet on, first of all stake the original selection then edith the games by adding another game of your choice.

Be flexible, but not flighty. Have a plan, sure, but be ready to adjust it if the situation throws you a wild card. Think of it like a choose-your-own-adventure book – you have a starting point, but the path you take depends on the choices you make along the way.
Remember, gambling is all about making informed decisions, not just sticking to some rigid plan. So, listen to your gut, analyze the situation, and don't be afraid to adapt. Just don't let the excitement cloud your judgment and turn you into a pinball yourself!
Ultimately, the best way to navigate the changing tides of a casino is to find a balance between strategy and adaptability. Stay cool, stay sharp, and remember, sometimes the best decisions are the ones you make on the fly.

When I read your story OP, it made me feel like you don't know how to stick to your decisions.
Changing decision in gambling can be triggered by factors in the game not that i don't stick to my decision. At times odds do change and if you are into sports gambling at times key players on a team might get injured or I'll etc prior to the game these can lead to you changing your decision and there are other factors.

As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding a game to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.
These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.

I also had this problem many times while I was betting through lotto clubs many year ago.I only learned a simply lesson from this,which is to never change your mind no matter what whispers come to your mind you should always stick loyal to your first decision as that is what usually will not make you have any regrets no matter the outcome because you didn't change anything.I think everyone should do that,to not have any regrets later.
Well, one thing I've learned from gambling is to either stick with your game or to not play at all or just take a break from gambling for that day. If I would be moving to casino games, it would be boring unlike with sportsbetting which I enjoy the most. I do get the idea of taking the risk but if I won't enjoy it as the usual, then gambling experience won't be the same. Either game you play, there will always be a risk involved so my edge is to choose what game will I enjoy doing so if I lose then I won't be too frustrated and full of regrets.
With changing of mind when betting, things are just normal. After all, we are all just guessing the outcome no matter how you analyze the game. You won't have the assurance of winning. Eitherway, you'd have a tendency to lose. It is okay to hesitate sometimes but once bets are placed, just watch how will it go since it would be a waste of time thinking of 'what ifs'.
When I read your story OP, it made me feel like you don't know how to stick to your decisions. Imagine this: You analyzed the statistics on assuming multiple games, then from that statistic, you made a calculated decision and then just left it all behind and changed the bet. End up regretting the decision that you have made. Is that right OP? I do hope you stick to your decision because you could've had a higher percentage from it.
This happened to me when I was just gambling randomly, no studies done, and just went with my gut. After that I have changed my bet and just because I felt it. After losing, I just stick to what I felt and just pushed through. But that's just sometimes, not all the time. I do calculated decisions because it's more analytical and I like it like that.

I think lack of confidence at times is the main factor responsible for the occurrence of this which you stated in the topic, when you lack the confidence in your pick, you definitely would be indecisive about what pick to make and will be having such experience as stated in the topic but if you have the confidence them you will be stable about your opinion.These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.
Making your picks before gambling, it's important you try to make propee analysis and be very definite about your picks, I was at some point suffering same thing because I was not sure of my picks at some point in time, this usual happens after I've made my analysis some times I get deceived by the odds given to these teams by the bookies so I will after making my picks feel that the probability is small and thats why the bookies gave probably a smaller or bigger odds to my picks so to be safe I will then change it but then if I'm confident enough in my picks I will definitely not fall such victim

I don't like changing my plans or the initial betting amount or anything that I might have thought to do already, however, I don't think that doing anything will affect the outcome of my bets because, at the end of the day, the outcome of the bets depend on my luck and not the changes that I make.These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.
People need to understand that all these are sorts of superstitions and there is no actual reality in any of these things your change of plans or strategies wouldn't affect your results and your results are only influenced by your luck and nothing else.
I also don't believe that you lose or win based on changing the game you are playing, I know that some people think this way but it's not true and your luck doesn't change if you change the game you are playing, you will still win or lose based on your luck at that particular moment.

This kind of scenario is often done by sports betting bettors, this includes me, I have also done the same thing, adding a bet to the initial option, this is done where we are sure that the initial bet we placed is certain to win, but that's called gambling, at the last minute it can turn around 100%, it could be that the bet we placed loses and disappears.If we think, gamble normally and control yourself, don't be ambitious, just be guided by the initial bet, changing options doesn't necessarily mean we can win, it could be an unlucky day for us.
In a betting house, this is what gamblers see. Given how heavily some of the matchups they already want to bet on have been highlighted. They might think, for example, that these teams will defeat this team, but as they get to the gambling house, they start to hear about how the team they are betting on to win would lose because of how they have performed in their previous matches.
This is the reason a gambler should avoid spending a lot of time in a gambling house because, if they do, they will likely alter their bets based on what others gamblers will say about the games they have already chosen to bet on.

Yea, of course I have experienced such situation, and it do happen when you don't have confidence on your prediction. Maybe along the line, when you get to the bet shop, someone might tell you that you should change your bet or add a game to it, which might finally led to the lost of that bet.These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.
This has made me never to listen to anyone, until I have placed my bet on the game. Sometimes because we think that we need to win the game, it makes us want to change the bet thinking that the new change will be beneficial to us but rather it will lead us to lose the game. This is why one should only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, so that you see gambling as fun, and just bet on whatever predictions that you had already come up with
What I always do when I am in such situation, I place my bet twice one on the first one I brought from home, and the second bet will be that with the little changes. It is easy for me to do it, because I bet with little money that wouldn't make me feel bad when I lose both games.
In the world of gambling there is always something called regret that will occur within us after making a choice, because in my opinion gambling requires very strong instincts to be able to win the bets we make. If we stick to a plan or follow other people in choosing, there will definitely be a big risk of losing the money we have when betting. So in my opinion, if you want to bet, you should follow your heart in choosing and never follow other people's words, because if you lose the bet according to your choice, you will never regret it. However, if you lose a bet because you followed someone else's choice or someone else's words, there will definitely be feelings of annoyance and regret within you.
Believe me, most of the times your first decision is better than your second decision, so when you feel you need to change your decision, don't listen with that. It happens in my life, not only about gambling, I tried to change my decisions, when it's not work like what I expect, I regret with that I did.
Even though you think your second decision looks more interesting, but it's better to stick with your first decision.

I think it's normal. If you don't do this, then you are gambling like a robot and will not enjoy your gambling. Even though sometimes things like that are annoying, sometimes we also win because we change bets. So no need to regret it and enjoy your gambling, budd
I once changed a team that I was initially sure would win, I changed my bet because of the big difference in odds and it turned out that my choice was right and I won the bet.

If we were completely focused on what we are supposed to do then we might be financially stable that shows we are tend to be distracted when someone is doing it. But as a gambler if you don't have control on your losing and keep losing money that you have for other needs then it falls into different category that will come under addiction.
If you feel distracted by something then try to stay away from it as much as possible which is a temporary solution and may give enough time to think about what you actual have to do.

I have never changed the options I want to play because when I want to gamble, I have already decided what gambling game I want to play and I will immediately choose the casino. After that, I would immediately play the gambling game so I never thought about changing the options. Maybe you don't need to change options or add games to the initial options, but it could be that what you experience is just a coincidence. You don't need to think about it too seriously because we are in the world of gambling, where anything can happen. And you also have to remember that losing at gambling is certain because we can't always win but only experience defeat.
but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding a game to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.
This is a usual thing that happens to gambler. The most annoying for me is the adding of new game and not the changing of option. If I change option I still see it as part of the game that I wanted to play early but only that I was not able to pick the correct option for it. So if I introduce a totally new game to the multiple and it becomes what caused the lose, it is the most annoying.
What to do to have a solution is the decision not to add new game or change the option when you get at the betting stand. And also, to avoid discussion of the game you want to bet by friends or other bettors that you will find there.because most times it is at the brink of betting that we change the games that will become the losing game. Decision is important to bet and not to change always but to stand with your game.
Most parlay makers have the same dilemma. 
Imagine if you have already numbers and statistics set in your mind and then you see one that you think could add to your profits and that will be the biggest mistake in your bet. I mean, that only leg that you added lost, so everything is gone. After that will all be regrets.
I've been in that situation many times because of my greed. Well, it's normal to want a higher profit but sometimes that greed will turn everything south which is sometimes unacceptable.
There are instances also in the same game parlay where for example I should only pick over 10 points for a player but because of my gree I will make it over 12 to increase the multiplier. One of the biggest mistakes because the player only got 11 points.
But all is well, because of those mistakes I learned my lesson. Now I am winning more because I can sometimes control my greed and I won't go as far as what my instincts are telling me. Lesser profit but a higher chance to win the bet. I am good with that rather than taking home zero. There are different ways to be on this bad position because of our mind changing but I would not say it's always losing, sometimes we did good at changing the bet.

That is one of the reasons why we should be more selective about what our initial plan is, or we should follow our instincts because there is a big chance that we will regret when we lose. That's where the big regret comes in and then when you question and blame yourself. We need to be consistent in the actions we do and if you have changes you want to make, just start with a slow process before you go full force, so that you are not too affected when something like the defeat you encountered happens.

In my opinion, this is normal because everything can change in gambling. In my opinion, even a gambler who initially has a target can change when he is already gambling, where before gambling he has his own target and when he has achieved the target he planned, His motives could have changed, he could have continued gambling because he thought the gambling he was doing was good so he didn't take the winnings but continued gambling.In my opinion, this is normal if it happens because basically gambling can actually make someone change their mind if they have gambled. and I think this is also experienced by many gamblers. It would be very hypocritical if anyone didn't admit this. and like this it will definitely end in disappointment, so it is yourself who is to blame, not other people, because basically gambling is done based on one's own desires, including changes in one's gambling motives, also because of oneself, not because of other people.
