Topic: How has big wins and jackpot stories affected your gambling habit? (Read 420 times)

Am not always moved by stories of jackpot winnings thou it is  very much an exciting moment for the winner were every one will merely wished that they are the one that won without considering the risk involvement so funny, the least I could do is to celebrate with the winner but I don't allow it to affect my gambling habits because it can't be very dangerous for me in the sense that there will urge to allocate more fund to gambling than it should be based on financial ability and when it doesn't play to your favor the regret will becomes too huge to be handle, so the advice Will be that, you shouldn't be carried away by such stories and get mislead on the process, stay within your reach or lane.

If you look at it from streamers and influencers, do you know that their winnings are engineered and there is collaboration between them and the casino owners, I'm not too interested in watching someone win big because I know that it could be engineered or a fake win, even though it's true it's definitely good luck for him, don't expect luck to come to us when gambling, just focus on gambling and having fun without having to hope for luck because I have been in your position hoping for luck to be obtained by other people and I was disappointed because I never got it.

Every gambler must have had luck, so don't think too much and expect more from the wins that we see from other people or that we watch, there are times when luck will come by itself, so focus on gambling because when you are lucky, that's when you will feel victory and one Another thing is that when you don't get luck or a big jackpot, make sure you can manage it properly and also never try to recover the losses you experience while gambling, that's not a good way to chase them, losing is part of gambling, it's not always about winning and big, you have to accept it whatever the outcome.

I agree everyone is lucky but some people are more lucky than the others and that's why the ones who win such jackpots are those who are quite lucky.

Everyone's luck works in different areas, some people get lucky in casino games while others get lucky in sports betting.

Personally, my luck works well in sports betting and that's why I prefer it over other types of betting, but if someone's luck works well in casino games than he/she should prefer those instead of sports betting.

Indeed, gambling is a game of chance, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get a big win or jackpot. With those who have already won a big win or jackpot, it is indeed because of strong luck, but that does not mean that all gamblers will definitely get it, of course only a few gamblers can get a big win, because gambling is based on luck and right what you said, we don't know who and when luck will come, because of course luck is only occasional data but in gambling many gamblers waste the luck that has been obtained because they follow their greed.

It's true, there is no point in changing the way we gamble, the point is not to be obsessed with winning at gambling because we must be able to see, the chances of losing are greater than winning that cannot be changed. It has become a permanent fixture, therefore gamblers will generally only experience loss or defeat in the long run.

Maybe I can speak from a different perspective based on the gambling experiences I have had. I mean, I even we all have a lot of experience related to gambling. Moreover, gambling is not something foreign to all of us who enjoy this type of entertainment. If I'm talking about a few years ago, especially before online casinos dominated, let's just say I saw or even heard of friends getting fantastic jackpots for their gambling. It cannot be denied, the feeling of wanting to get the same thing has quite an influence on my circle of friends, or the people closest to me. It's very natural, this is also related to the psychology of gambling. Well, I'm speaking based on long experience with this hobby. Not infrequently, we are motivated to get and compete to achieve what we want in gambling. Well, actually it doesn't matter if someone knows exactly what he is doing. knowing the impacts, risks, financial problems and even mental health problems. Unfortunately, many people don't know and are even carried away by emotions of anger which cause our rationality to not work well. In the end, many gamblers fall into the trap of what started out as fun and becomes a problem. I say once again, what I say is based on personal experience. the winnings achieved by someone, be it a friend, community or even based on newspapers reporting someone getting a very sensational jackpot. Of course, it will have an impact on those who see or hear about this fantastic victory. That's why, apart from being fun, gambling carries quite a big risk if it is not understood more deeply. Honestly, at the moment I'm not interested in doing the same thing as this question. why, because I respect myself more to play, play or bet according to my wishes and the limits I want. to bet small or bigger, it all depends on what I want and what I believe. Moreover, what must be considered is whether we can afford the risk. if not, just bet modestly. Simple isn't it, that's what my gambling is like now.

When you see someone has won a big jackpot, maybe other gamblers think that they also want to get the same luck that someone achieved. Even though someone won a big jackpot because they dared to bet a large amount so that the win was more pronounced and the profits they took were many times greater but the risk involved is also quite high. Maybe for gamblers who want something like that they try to increase their bets but in reality they don't produce anything because they are not lucky, gambling is a game of luck no matter how much you bet because you see someone else winning the jackpot, if you are unlucky you won't be able to get the jackpot also.

To be honest, I have experienced this when my friend told me about the gambling tricks he played and he was luckier because he sometimes won gambling with large amounts because he dared to bet big money (for me). But after I tried it with the tricks he give it a big profit. I tried to bet a fairly large amount and hoped to win like my friend, but still I was unlucky and lost. In the end, I regretted it because I followed other people's winning instincts too much.

It is normal to ask for valid IDs from those who won a jackpot in a casino or while gambling to verify if they really won, and if they have ever won online, then a casino that asks for KYCs is for verification purposes. It's just that most of the time. And if you don't comply, they won't give you your winning prize. 

Now, in the lottery, usually the ticket is the most important thing that you should never lose because it can go to someone else if you lose the ticket, which makes you win because it has the number that you bet on and chose.

I have never changed my betting patterns due to those stories, as even if it is obvious I would like to obtain those profits, at the same time I know that in order to do so I will need to take a risk I am not willing to take and I will need to depend on my luck, which I cannot control.

So I will recommend other people to take the same posture, and refuse to let themselves to become influenced by those wins, since it is almost impossible they can obtain those same results.

Therefore, I believe that if someone wins the lottery or wins the jackpot at the casino, then such a lucky person is provided with the requirements from the gambling platform.
And one of the requirements is that he must appear in a television story where he stands with a huge check and a happy expression on his face.
And this is a huge promotion for such gambling. Everyone watching this report immediately imagines themselves in the place of this guy or girl.

It depends on how a person uses gambling. If he uses gambling as entertainment and hits a big jackpot, he should still be able to use gambling as entertainment and nothing will change. He still limits his gambling because he knows that gambling is just entertainment.

Unfortunately, people who have already hit that big jackpot think that they can hit another jackpot. This makes them continue gambling and try to catch the jackpot even though it is not easy. They don't think that gambling is just entertainment and not a place to make money.

I won't increase the bet amount just because someone I know won a lot of money. I realized that it would not give me a chance to win. I would only experience more losses if I did that. I try to limit myself when I playing gambling.

This is true as most of the time people are trying to gamble more just to find a jackpot but the jackpot is not in the fate of everyone. We should accept our own success without wishing for more money because our excessive dreams can make us addicted to bad activities.



 There should be a limited amount because the more you increase the amount for gambling the more you will lose as a result of which you will play gamble again and again just to earn some money to continue gambling therefore keep check on your activities as well as on your money and don't increase the amount whatever happens.

That may be because it wasn't a true jackpot? But if it is and it's been a long time you saw your friend living the moment/best times of their life every single time or day, I think you will also get curious to feel what it's like but first, you need to win a life-changing amount of money just like them through gambling because it may not be possible to achieved it in a short span of time through working and other traditional source.

When you play gambling, I am sure that you will still enjoy it even though there is a pressure if you are risking a significant amount either through each bet, or by bankroll and the more you will enjoy if you got lucky and win huge but yeah, this can be a trap too, so it's also best to just stick within our limits.

But most gamblers will be very affected, that's why casinos often show on their social media when one of their users manages to win a large amount, and as long as that's what actually happened, of course it's not a problem, but when there are casinos who lie because it's not the truth then it is clear that the casino is spreading fake news just to gain more users but a trusted casino will not do that.
If you are not affected by this and stick to the amount of bets you usually make, of course that is a good thing, because that is how we should be because every gambler has a different limit and also we don't know for sure how much the gambler spends until the end win a lot of money.

It foolishness to increase our amount because someone else won with big amount, we need abide by our plan and within our means while gambling, there is no guarantee that you gonna win like him, besides we need gamble in a way that we have opportunity again another time. Our brain only get trigger with rewards and as such we tend to wanna have same results as others which in gambling is the beginning of such gamblers doom.

Personally nobody winning or jackpot have shifted my motive in gambling. Catch the positive vibe and don't allow it push you to seek same results.

I have done this and I did become motivated to get my jackpot, the winnings I craved could change my life quickly, but in fact it was just an expectation that ate more of my money in gambling, this is very dangerous in gambling and can make a person impulsive and even worse a very high addiction due to chasing back the loss that has been done.

A lot of people lose valuables because they think they will hit the jackpot, they sell them and then gamble on gambling and end up becoming a hobo and make it difficult for their family because of careless and motivated decisions that are stupid about gambling, but whatever happens in gambling we have to limit every interaction to prevent us from becoming poor quickly.

We should not because if we do we are prone to losing a lot of money there is no use getting affected because luck in gambling is not just a result of effort it is more of luck and we don't know who and when will luck strike next.
I'm a lotto bettor and I have seen huge jackpots won by construction workers I only feel good to the guys for hitting the jackpot and getting a chance to change their lives for the better, there is no use changing how we gamble as long as our routine is safe.

No, I have not because it is stupid to do that and even if I do there's no way I can be lucky like him. Gambling doesn't make it possible for gamblers to win because their friend has won a huge amount. I will end up to lose my bet if I choose to increase the amount I normally stake because I am not sure if to win or not.

This means that luck has a significant impact on gambling, because as you said, the victory achieved by others can certainly be something that motivates others to follow in the footsteps by all means they believe in by putting high hopes to be able to get a big win like others have made. But I think it is a fact that if we talk about gambling then obviously what is actually more prominent is the negative impact, which can clearly make a person suffer from downturns in various aspects of his life.

But most gamblers only look at the positive aspects, namely the chances of winning, even though it is clear that only luck can lead them to this result while there is absolutely no guarantee or certainty that can tell you that you will win. In a gambling environment usually when one person manages to get a big win then it is a big motivation for other gamblers as I said above, and as you said it is a pure advertising scenario and this is also the reason why casinos get more profit than gamblers.

       -    I have read a lot of gamblers who got big winnings in gambling, and if I watch and read, he is inspiring from a different angle. I just don't know about others. I was just inspired because I know that gambling is really just luck.

And it's not the one that pushed me to increase my habit of betting every time I play crypto gambling. Because the amount of money I gamble is still limited, and I am so disciplined with
myself as a gambler.

Sometimes I also think that, seeing my friends win the jackpot, I want to be lucky like them too. but I thought back that I might not be as lucky as him, so I stopped thinking about placing a large bet.

Winning the jackpot in gambling is dreamed of by all gamblers, that is the big hope of a large percentage of gamblers, but very few people have good luck in the jackpot, maybe we have to assess the extent of our ability to enter the gambling arena, that is what becomes a burden.

Sometimes I realize that when I gamble, I don't really hope for something like winning the jackpot. For me, winning normally is already a pleasure, let alone winning the jackpot, So if I see a friend having good luck, I won't be affected by the victory he achieved, my principle is that someone's fate is not the same as ours.
