Topic: Ever Projected how to spend gambling profits while the game has not played yet? - page 4. (Read 1066 times)

Yes, that's true. Most people think of spending gambling profits when the game is not yet played. Perhaps people naively think that gambling is easy to make money, what will we do after winning? They forget that winning a game is easy, but losing is even easier and faster.

When we have too much faith in winning, we will feel even more lost when we lose. I am one of those people. I was thinking about buying a house when I first started gambling. And now the dream is over after the game ends. I just want to get back the money I lost or make just a little more profit and probably withdraw most of the money I deposited into the gambling site. I will just put a little money aside to play for fun and not dream about what I will do with that money after winning. Because dreams are really difficult to come true.

In my gambling career, I have had the most disappointment from the last match in the accumulator. I will play ten to twenty matches in an accumulator and all will play except the last match whose kickoff is last. I will watch the match in tears as my money will die before my  eyes. This make me never to believe anything until the final match is played. It surprises me when some people display high level of confidence in a bet even before the matches are played, I can't give myself such hope that can be dashed at any time. It is good to trust one's selections but not to the extent of being too confident that it will work exactly as predicted.

That is what happens when someone makes plans on mere promises or something that relies on luck or chances to happen. It was good that he felt remorseful and understand that he's plans of hosting his friends from a gamble win that has not yet happened was very a dumb plan. People must understand that making money from gambling is not the same thing as buying and selling where you're sure to make profits after sales, gambling is what it's name implies, you gamble your funds to win more money but you can loose your funds in the process. Gambling is based on luck and should never be relied on for any expenses because it's either win or lose, most times it's loses.

You see this is the reason why we advise gamblers to take gambling as fun because regardless of the fact most gamblers want their bets to win but there is no certainty that it will work according to their plan and that is the more reason why we should just play gambling without being too inquisitive of winning because when a gambler becomes too anxious for a winning then if it doesn't play he becomes so emotional because it is just a natural phenomenon for someone to feel emotional if what they wish doesn't come to reality.


Exactly, gambling is a game of probability which you may win or lose but there is no certainty that you gonna win and the possibility of winning is very low as people loses bets most of the time so that is why I said it's not a good practice to get an imaginary winning stuck in one's head because if it involves someone that solely depends on such a bet to win in order for him to pay some bills or debts and peradventure the bet cuts, it only takes few people to be calm in such situation. This reminds me of someone who bought a game and was given all assurance that the game will play accordingly and since he has seen proofs of people that bought games from that person in the past and won, he just concluded that he will also be favoured and went too far to borrow money and placed the bets and with all confidence that the bet will play he still went further to take more debts to merry while awaiting the outcome of the bet but when the bet couldn't play accordingly it traumatized this man to the extent that he lost his sanity and was acting very strange so this is the kind of situation that any gambler that feels an imaginary win gets.

Every gamblers actually brings to their best to secure winning because it is a competition with the bookmakers or a P2P which winner takes the profits.
So having that imaginary thought of you to win is okay because we all want to win which is actually is a game of emotions and expectations. No one actually stakes a bet and does not expect winning when the game is still running. It is a game of "hopeful but not definite"

But being aware that winning is usually unpredictable does not seem healthy for a gambler to have bargained on what to do with the profits when you have a running game because it will always come with an emotional outbreak when you looses at last because it feels disappointed at where you have too much confident and got failed.

This sounds very funny but it's just normal among gamblers especially those that stake to win huge amounts of money and the most funny people that does this kind of imaginary winning are those that plays running bets, there is a stage that the bet will approach and they will begin to look at the options giving to the remaining events then they run into conclusions that they will win the bet after the last event must have played but before they know it the bet will be lost.

Having an imaginary winning in your mind as a gambler is very bad because if you don't win the bet it can cause emotional damages due to the fact that you've already mapped out what to do with the money if the bet wins. This is why gambling should not be taking seriously or as a means to take care of your livelihood because it can disappoint you at a time when you needed to win so dearly in order for you to take care of your bills.

This is gambling, so hard to say that you will have your guaranteed winnings from your bets. If you will promise such situation to happen, then, we know you are being disillusioned in the situation. Sooner or later, you will be slapped by the reality of gambling. It will teach you the lesson you need.


Most gamblers that will do such act are usually arrogant and trying to boast that he can win despite the odds in gambling. You will only embarrass yourself if you will subject yourself into this kind of situation. Better commit the act right after you won, not before you even place your bet.

They must prioritize reality based on gambling results rather than relying on probabilities and expectations that are not guaranteed to be obtained from betting results, even gambling experts state that there is no exact accuracy in gambling results and any opportunity to win or lose can occur at any time. So I agree with you, make sure you have won the bet and the money has been withdrawn to the bank or personal wallet, then you can make a personal decision to share the winnings with friends or buy whatever items you like, make sure you are wise in managing the winnings and it is better to never deposit all funds again into a gambling account balance.

Ever Projected how to spend  gambling profits while the game has not played yet? While to be honest this happen to me not just in gambling but also in trading or other things like airdrop and bounty I actually promises my friend something like hangout in coffeeshop or something similar when I hit the jackpot but went the moment arrive the money never hit jackpot I just tell my friend he said okay, but to be honest i fell bad because i just say that I'm going to win 100% but in reality said the wrong way.

So right now I never promised anyone and if Im won something big and jackpot I just going to ask directly when the money arrive

Yes, sometimes expectations do not match reality and that is a consequence that every gambler has to bear. Whenever you win and have withdrawn your balance to your wallet, then invite your friends to have fun, it's much better than promising before winning. But however, this is not obligatory if he says it like this: "If I win, I'll invite you all to party".

They do something ridiculous and embarrassing to their friends because they think they can win the bet even though they know that gambling is not guaranteed to be predicted, they should wait for the guaranteed outcome of the bet before inviting friends to treat or paying for drinks for many people, they end up having to bear two the loss at the same time is the loss of losing the bet and they have to pay the bill for everyone in that casino place.

Every gambler must get used to waiting for the results of bets and if you have won then you are free to use the money for any purpose.

Normally, its good to be positive, or speak, think positively of whatever seed you have sowed, because your positive thinking, thoughts, or words can go a great length in seeing that that seed germinates and bear good fruit.

So, I completely see nothing wrong on him for acting positively concerning his bet, his only mistake was that he was already promising you guys something when has hasn't secured a win yet.
But about thinking positively, I usually fantasize on what I will do, how I will be living my life, the type of car I will buy for myself and my wife, the type of house I will live in with my family, if any day, luck smiles on me and I win up to $200,000 😁.

I see a lot of people doing this on a daily basis and it's actually very funny, having plans for an amount of money that you haven't seen is absolutely outrageous, you are putting yourself under  unnecessary pressure, Remember that this is gambling. You can place a bet of 40 games in a slip and have a cut one or two. Someone told me a story of a guy that placed a bet to win 20 million and had just one more game to round it up, he went to a bar requesting for drinks and bought for a lot of people, but at the end of the day he lost the bet.
Don't make any plans till that money is in your account

Maybe because of shame, and not being able to face the fact that his empty promises could not be fulfilled. Imagine the way he would tell this story to you as well as to others. Of course, this retrospection gives rise to regret in him because his gamble was in vain and regret because what he promised was beyond realization. A valuable lesson about the importance of being responsible for our statements and actions, especially when it involves money or promises to other people. And it's best not to promise or swear when we are unable to fulfill it.

Gambling is full of uncertainty and unreliability, so it would be ridiculous to guarantee a win that we can't necessarily achieve. If we really can't afford to treat them to a hangout, then never mind, don't push yourself too hard just because you want to appear capable in front of them. Wanting to act cool and arrogant, in the end because the bet placed ends in failure, this ends up embarrassing ourselves in front of them. Unless the victory is already in our hands, then we can freely use the money as we wish, whether it's treating friends or something else.

I always do so. I'm a man of patterns and trends after all.

Having some sort of agency and expectation as to how my games go allows me to become more confident with plays, more level-headed when I lose, and at the end of the day, allows me to really enjoy every time I gamble. A case could be made for people who just gamble on the fly without really having any idea as to how much they are willing to spend but at the end of the day, it would only work for you if you're gambling occasionally and are not gambling for profit. Learning or setting amounts before I even gamble, even projecting how much I'd earn and lose in the process is what makes gambling work for me. These predetermined courses I always take, while it gets tiring after some time, hits the itch in my brain that goes off whenever I gamble, and it has saved my bankroll a couple of times in the past already, so I know that this is a system that works for me.

Not here to preach about it anymore or something. At the end of the day if gambling on the fly is what works for you and you know that you won't get hacked to death by the cost of not being more prudent with your bankroll then go for it. Go crazy.

In the case of your friend though (pretty misleading title by the way), He had it coming, it's always show first, talk after. Not the other way around. Which is why I myself don't go out there actively telling my friends that I'll treat them, they gotta bring their own bread, cause only by then will I realize that they are indeed true ones and not just in it for my cash.

What your friend has done is called unrealistic hope. He was busy hoping in something that has a high possibility of failing him tremendously. He surely counted his chicks before the eggs hatched. He's not alone in this act, sometimes some bet looks too good to fail, but in the end there is nothing like a sure game, even the biggest team has the possibility of flopping anytime. Taking for example, Everton which weak Chelsea beat 6 nil just last week, turned things around by beating almighty Liverpool by two goals to nil yesterday, I could not hold my frustration when such stupid performance from Liverpool deprived me of cashing out something nice for the week.

People do have similar experiences when they book what they think is sure and have hopes on it only for it to disappoint them and render their plans futile, but of a truth gambling isn't something to rely on as a basis of financial decisions making, so anyone who makes such mistake is invariably setting himself up by himself. You better find something better to raise finances from rather than hoping on gambling which has no definite return on investment.

In my opinion, anticipating how you would spend your potential gambling wins when you haven't even staked is simply too much. When you put in too much hope into anticipating gambling wins you end up being very tensed before the game which can even alter your decision making. Aside from that, if you as a gambler eventually loses the game you tend to feel the loss more since all plan you intended shattered the moment you lost the bet.

The fact that a majority of gambling activities and games require a great deal of luck is enough for a gamler to understand the losing that bet is very possible. Therefore the earlier and better you are able to keep These in mind, tye easier it would be for such a gambler to manage losses.

What he did was to inform his acquaintances that they should not trust him because he broke the promise he made to them. That's why there is a saying "don't speak without certainty" because a lot can happen if you lead it with promises. It's true that nobody's perfect, but we should also be aware of the words we say because like what happened to him, his image can be damaged by the people close to him.

some people are just optimistic and thats fine I mean someone can have a dream despite the outcome might shown different result, I mean if you are a fan of arsenal for example, and you know full well that you put your money at stake for this club at a reason and you know very well based on your own judgement whether arsenal gonna comes out victorious or not, what do you think? wouldn't you project your winning later on because you're so sure.
there's most certainly no harm in being optimistic about the result of your judgement,on the other hand if its turning out to be a lose then a lose is unavoidable and what you can do is accept it anyway.
I always project my winning even before the game played, what kind of phones i'd get with the winning money, its just a small joy before the match thats not gonna do something bad to you.

its only become bad when your expectation is too high to the point where it just gets unhealthy that makes you think you can't afford to lose your money, only that case it will affect your mental heavily.

Well, yes, but because poker gives me income on a regular basis. If you bet in a casino and plan what to do with the jackpot money, it is not a very serious planning because you don't know when you are going to win, and by the time you win you will surely have spent more money in that game than the one you win, so it would have been better for you to save it.
