As much as we are not addicted or dedicated gamblers, we still have the hope and desire to win big, but the ability to accept the result of our bet is what can make a responsible gambler not get addicted. There's no gambler that is against winning big amount, but some of them don't press so hard to win; if it doesn't favor them that day, they can just take their leave. But there are some die-hard gamblers that will spend all their resources in one go just to win. If I want to gamble, most times I just have some wishful thoughts in my head saying to me, "I wish I could just make a huge win today." Despite having those thoughts, I could still end up leaving empty-handed after losing everything to the casino. 
Despite being an addicted gambler or not, there's always a belief that we all have that makes us to think that if we don't win today we will not miss the next days ahead of us. Being addicted to gamble even makes it harder to win because it always runs in the gamblers mind that we must win, and most times we don't win at all. The thing is, we must know that if we don't win to day we shouldn't chase our losses because chasing loss will bring more losses.
if you think that if you lose today you will get tomorrow that is thinking of someone who is pursuing it loss in gambling and it is not supposed to be like that when you are thinking in such way that means you are getting much addicted in gambling so many people do emphasize addition of gambling but the normal thing that causes someone to be addicted in gambling is because the person is ready to pursue it loss that he has already made previously and thinking that it next time it will recover all what if you has lost so far, so I know very well that we need to understand that gambling is something of entertainment but when you're desperate it's when you will lose.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

What are your thoughts?

I'm not sure if I'm the only gambler with such coincidence or perhaps I'm not the lucky type of person. Any time I gamble with amount expectations on my mind, I don't win that bet. I'm not sure if it's because I put my whole mind waiting for the game to win or I don't just get the luck other people have from gambling. If I bet, I make sure I don't expect nothing, this help me reduce the disappointment that comes later when you don't win anything later.


We will only be lying to ourselves if we say we gamble and expect nothing in return.  Everyone who brings out money to gamble expects a win no matter how little the win amount may be. The only thing that can help us manage disappointments is when we avoid setting expectations that are too high for us and also, when we gamble with amounts we can afford to lose.

Gambling with a fixed winning amount in mind may work for some people, but I won't recommend it to anyone. Many may not know the right strategy to apply so they can actually win the amount they have in mind. Even if they apply the best strategy, this is gambling and things may not always go as we expect them to be. Expectations like this is the reason lots of gamblers do not know when exactly to stop gambling and go home with the money they've won so far or even go home with just a small loss instead of chasing losses.

Gambling with a win amount in mind remains a NO NO for me.

If you have a last card and you think gambling is the surest way to double the money, I will advice to used that money to eat because you will not win that money, it's not a magic or rocket science but you hardly win from such money. Sometimes also, your expectations give you wrong pick in gambling that's why I do tell people that if you are not willing to let go of that amount, don't use it to gamble because you might not be happy after.

May I say that it depends on the gambler?
There is a target win but I don't really prioritize it. It's not that I don't need it, I personally prefer more realistic targets such as how much money I allocate to play for an hour. If in that hour I can get a large or small amount of winnings, I will stop.
My thought process would continue to loop like that every time I gambled so I didn't know if I was categorized as an addicted gambler or just for fun.
That's what I also believe. I'm certainly aiming to win; the larger the amount, the better, but that isn't always feasible. Sometimes I'll set an imaginary target; if it's achieved, that's great; if not, it's still okay; it's not my top priority. I believe that you can easily get carried away by looking at a specific target goal, end up betting more than you actually intended, and result in losing your money because your initial earnings weren't up to your expectations. With that being said, I'm happy to cash out on my win, especially if it's relatively close to what I was hoping for.

I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount  they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.

It is always difficult for a gambler to quit gambling regardless of any amount they win because they literally see gambling as a means of getting quick money without much labour and a gambler who either experiences too many losses or winnings finds it difficult to quit as their is always that driving spirit to gamble more after winning and for a loser, they try to recover their losses and end up losing everything in the quest.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

Addiction is not only for gamblers who have set out an amount they wish to win from gambling and continuously chase their winning targets but even those that thinks they are gambling for fun sometimes fall into addiction because it is believed that what ever thing one does for fun makes them happy therefore they will want to experience more of the happiness by spending more time gambling and from there it leads them to addiction where they will literally find themselves unable to control their gambling habits.

On the time or moment that you do have that kind of mindset or thinking that you should really be making money on the time that you do gamble then this is what it pushes you to become addicted. Why?
On the moment that you are really that hoping on becoming that profitable then it will really getting in line with your actions on which as long  you do have the money into your gambling account then you would
really be that making use of it until the very end, the worst thing is that if you do lose it all then you would really be making further deposits just because you are really that anticipating that you would be profitable
in the end of the day or such session on which this is really that very wrong. This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due into this very common behavior of most gamblers on where they are really that too desperate on making money without even trying out to realize that they are really that putting themselves on great harm in terms of financial aspect. If you are really that someone who do have that kind of perceptions towards gambling and would never ever changed then regret would really be always at the end. People do usually learn up when they are already on unfortunate conditions.

Just play for fun and entertainment without minding too much about on how much you would gonna win. On the moment that you do accept and treat it on the right way then you wont really be finding yourself that being too stressed specially on the moment that you do lose because you are already anticipating for it to happen. Therefore, on the moment that you do bust up that gambling capital or budget you do have then you wont really be tending or impulsively making deposits just because you had just that easily accepted your fate into this manner.

Did you know well that gambling is not trading? If you forgot, I have reminded you that if you claim to have a fixed amount of winning in gambling, it will help you with two negative things, which are being a gambling addict and losing a lot of money that you will never imagine. 
 
What are you thinking about gambling? Gambling is based on your luck, so the smaller the winning, the smaller your luck. You just have to accept that if not, you will lose critically. Mind you, if you were emphasising budgeting on the amount to sprint gambling, then I will support you, but for this, I don’t think I can support your motion because there is no fact in this.

With what you have said, I might say that you are a gambler who has a correct understanding of what and how gambling really is, I can't say whether you are a gambler who comes to have fun or a gambler, the reason is because I don't see you mention any aspect of fun above but you only say about the approach you have which leads to an approach that is not excessive by only targeting realistic wins.

My advice is to maintain that approach, because not all gamblers can gamble sufficiently by implementing everything that is realistic, and I also hope you can maintain your awareness because after all gambling is full of things that look tempting which indirectly can make you tempted and fall into it without realizing it until you are finally addicted.

Although it seems that so far we would say about greed,  because they continue to bet when they have a little win. But the truth is, there are still many gamblers who succeed when continuing to bet and maybe, it's not just about the target profit or winnings, but it can also be about still feeling a good moment to continue betting.
that's what gamblers really feel. we all feel the momentum that makes us feel good luck. and that makes us not finish with some small wins. even those who make a target win I think can also avoid their target and decide to continue playing when getting a good momentum to win bigger.
although greed is something that gamblers avoid. but I believe gamblers don't really avoid it. gambling always gives us a feeling to continue playing.

At least, I've had moments like that in the past and while it's true, greed will always be there. But the point is, a gambler will be able to have a good feeling or mood in gambling. So, when gamblers feel such moments, then of course it will be easy for them to continue betting of course to make higher profits.

True, there is nothing wrong with hope, but certainly the hope must always be realistic, or do not exceed the limit. There is a difference between waiting and chasing and not everything must always be chased to get, this is gambling, chasing certainly involves more risk and of course it should have been thought about, and I am sure that no one wants to experience significant risk in anything, especially when it comes to losing money.

Being realistic as you said, it is very important and must always be maintained in mind, no other than by always being realistic then it will be able to restrain us from placing hope or doing an unreasonable action, or the intention is so that all our hopes and actions are within reasonable limits. The point is to gamble in moderation, maintain limits and awareness and also always be wise in making decisions, remember that when you chase victory then it is the same as you are calling a greater risk, while there is no certainty and guarantee of anything to be able to achieve victory.
Even into those casual day to day living decisions then we are really that hoping for something or trying to achieve some goal. It would really be that something that will really be just that typical.
The only difference on here is on what are the things that you are hoping for and on what kind of thing that you are really that involving into? Outcomes or results would really be neither be positive or negative
depending on what are your goals. Ex. in gambling on which you are hoping for winning, for us people who knows the truth will really be that basically tells that its not a good thing since it would really be bringing out that kind of desperation on which it will really be basically making you that desperate and just like the rest been saying that if you do find yourself having this kind of mindset then it would really be pushing you out of your limits or the thing that you had set out earlier on this regard. Gambling should really be fun and not something that would be stressful because on the time that you would be pushing yourself about being a winner then it would really be just that making you play even more despite of losing that big amount.

When doing gambling then your first priority should really be that wanting to have some fun and making money should really be on your second priority because if money is your first priority then you would be ending up on having that kind of desperation and on the time that you would be losing your bets then you would really be making even more deposit because you will be trying out to break even or you would really be that trying out to chase up those loses or even on how to win on which its not really that recommended on this case. Gambling is really that for fun and on the moment you do lose then you can just simply accept it because
you are already that expecting for it to happen.

True, it means that one or the other of those hopes depends on what your goals are and whether or not you have the right understanding of the gambling activity, simply if your goal is to get a lot of wins and from the start you don't have the right understanding of what and how gambling really is then I'm sure that you have the wrong expectations that tend to be excessive, but when it turns out that you have the right understanding that makes your goals not too significant to victory then most likely you will just wait for the victory to come by itself without forcing every situation.

As you said that something that should be prioritized is to have fun, there is nothing else that is more worthy of being a priority than that, because it makes no sense if you prioritize the goal of getting a lot of wins while gambling will always be an activity that can never be predicted and cannot always produce the victory according to what you want, that's why hope is something that must be limited.

If you are not playing for fun, you may have some idea that makes you play much more often than regular players do. These ideas can be very different. For example, a player may believe that he has some ingenious strategy that will help him win such a significant amount that it will change his life. And until the player is completely convinced that this idea is untenable, a very long time may pass... In general, sometimes it is very difficult to understand the potential of an idea. However, it may well make you play much more often.

In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

I agree motivation is a huge factor in how you behave as a gambler if your goal is to gain or recover your losses, chances are you are not going to spend more than what you can afford to lose.

The right motivation should be to accept whatever the outcome of the game is and not force yourself to achieve what you want. If you're lucky, you will eventually hit your goal.

In gambling, you may not get what you want, but you may have a chance to do that when an opportunity opens up.

Good point, if you plan things out and you manage to practice whatever set up you created, then the chance of making money and enjoy your session can be fulfill, though it's good to think about making decent but also you need to have that kind of control if how much is the amount that you are willing to let go.

Both win and lose amount should be plan and should be inside your mind to practice controlling yourself and not to allow any emotions to lead you losing more than what you can afford to let go.

playing chasing a specific target is a big risk in my opinion because it leads you to bet just to reach the target.

You can also lose useful opportunities because once you reach the target you would not bet anymore..

This is the main point of maintaining a "golden middle" in everything. I mean maintaining a balance. We can't blindly move towards a result, forgetting about your life. But we can't forget to live here and now.
Therefore, all work, all rest and all hobbies like gambling should be balanced and only then will we have success in life.

What are your thoughts?

The lure for many gamblers is winning big, and this leads to frequent, at times compulsive, gambling. Such a vision of hitting a big jackpot may overshadow smaller wins, thus creating a higher risk factor for compromise. Gamblers who are purposeful or goal-directed with bets on specific amounts they would want to win could be overcome by impulsive and "chase" mentality, which might render them very prone to problems. Compared to people who gamble for fun and without any financial goal in mind, which greatly discourages it, leading to a more downward approach in gambling characterized by The continuous theories of gambling upon which gambling was based, whether it was motivated by future gains or a focus on pleasure, played an essential role in determining the act of gambling Although some measured win by numbers won gambling being hazardous by nature, lasting success was uncommon. These complexities need to be recognized, in particular as gambling starts to become problematic, to make informed decisions on when and how to get help.

You can also lose useful opportunities because once you reach the target you would not bet anymore..

Bit risk to the fact that everything is unsure in gambling. Consistency is not always good since sometimes it will just lead to more bigger loss to us if we decide to continue even if we are already in bad situation. That's why we just need to feel each condition of our bets and if we think we are already losing then its better to quit.

Thinking about chasing losses is not good action so people must settle for what they experience to avoid getting more larger risk to lose a lot of money.

People just need to enjoy their game and think about winning huge or hitting their targets is just a bonus. Since if you are lucky those bigger rewards will came especially if you play on a casino games which give you a chance to hit those big multipliers.
