Topic: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? - page 4. (Read 1311 times)

I used to be moved by a friend who is into gambling, whenever she won some money I always feel left out but due to the warnings from my father about gambling I dare not give a try at the time, and later she keep some distance, only to find out that she lost almost everything in gambling that was why she was avoiding me.

I helped her in some categories and after I told her everything my father told me, we are still good friends till today and she already quit gambling, later after I started making some money I start my own gambling activities but when I told her she doesn't seem to be interested or moved about it.

There is no point in paying attention to gamblers around you, most of them always become a victim to their own desire and greed through gambling, it's better to avoid them and take your responsible gambling very serious, watching others can fuel up your desire for gambling and it can lead you into making wrong decisions.

The brain will work instantly after the eyes see something favorable or contrary. What you see is that they managed to win after betting on large numbers, so what if you saw the opposite view, would you still want to bet on large numbers or would you instead choose to play with standard bets as usual?
If you want to increase your bet, don't do it instantly, start slowly while enjoying the game. If the results are satisfactory, you can increase the bet little by little. Never be tempted by other people's wins, maybe the same luck is not on your side.

I guess it's normal to wonder how it feels like placing thousands of dollars in just one bet. That's probably interesting to try, but since I don't have that huge money just for gambling, I'm just satisfied imagining about it. But with how I am now, even if I have that money, I probably would just spend it on something else.

Actually, even if you don't end up following others' bet, in the long run you will still risk trying betting higher amounts.

The reason is simple, we want to experience big winnings and to achieve that, we need to raise our bets and risks more.

I don't follow other bets and I'm not being influenced by them even I will saw them winning huge amount out from their high bet. It's just that, as a gambler, my common sense is telling me that to also experienced those huge win, I need to stake more.

When it comes to paying attention to how other people bet, I absolutely pay attention.  I am of the belief that you can always improve upon your gambling skills and watching other bet can help you grow in this area.  It can also help teach you lessons on how NOT to bet/gamble.  I don't base my gambling specifically off others, but it does help me to grow and learn.

Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

Well, I did follow other people's bets and their amounts when I was new into gambling because I had no experience as at then so what I normally do is watch any of the gambler that's winning more then after he has placed his bets I will just walk up to the bet attendant and ask them to repeat same bet as the previous person. The funny part of it was when the guy noticed I was following him to place same bets with him, he got angry and left the betting shop immediately.

Other player's money or strategy may tend to make a gambler try gambling out of his will, that is, betting more money, just to win like the next gambler. It's not bad, however, yet the player holds himself for the outcome of his game. The person we spied their game, may have wagered his spare cash. He won't be bothered over his results; win or loss. While the next person would end up being worried over losing a bigger amount, which he didn't plan on spending. Gambling shouldn't be considered a competition. Everyone should mind his bank roll and care less over the winnings of other people, which is not ours. Truthfully, those wins are so tempting, looking at the amount of money a fellow gambler has won. A player with less self-control would lose his principles and rush his games. That only doesn't help the person, but it could be detrimental to his future gambling experience.

Meaning, he wouldn't enjoy gambling. Because the player now relies on the result of other people as a motivator for gambling. His own goals have been forgotten by him. The previous plans don't get practiced and the gambler wouldn't perform great in a strategy he is not used to playing. So, it's a bad habit as a gambler to let go of our plans for other player's, due to the money they've won using their strategy or plan. Within a short period, we'd win using the same strategy we thought wasn't smart enough. Gambling has not powerful strategy for winning. Whatever is our strategy only need us to understand it better and control the way we gamble to extend our gambling duration. The longer we gamble, the more experienced we'd become.

Yeah of course observation is always there specially to gamblers like us. But the truth here is thatif they got lucky with their bets it does not guarantee of us getting the same luck. If you placed bets just because you see them making profits with their game I don't think you will end up on the same path or else you're going the other way as we all know gambling is all about luck.

I dont know if it common for your place, but at my place I have often heard people saying "the people who surround you - are you". If you want to improve, surround yourself with best people. I dont want to drag this topic into "money only/amount won" direction, but with your example with rich people and luxury car: I wont sell house immediately, but I would aim to become like them. And to be able to achieve that, I would look what and how they do. If if their large bets indicate that I should be more brave and instead of placing tiny bet, I should bet more as it will be multiplied. Anyway, I am the watch and learn guy, than watch and copy.

"You're the average of the five people spend the most time with"

Even though we actually want to experience the same victory as people who use such strategies, if we hesitate then we will lose too, we must remember that gambling is completely a game of luck so even though we have analyzed it with the abilities we have or have followed other people's methods.
