Topic: How has big wins and jackpot stories affected your gambling habit? - page 2. (Read 420 times)

The jackpot has many aspects.

From the lucky gambler's side: it's a lot of money, literally a full life experience.
But there is also a downside: often many relatives are instantly offended if the lottery winner does not give them money.

From the casino side: if someone wins the jackpot, then this person becomes an excellent advertisement for others, and many people start gambling hard, because they also want to change their lives. A similar effect always works in gambling and batting, even when the winnings are not big.

Well, for me, I haven't big wins or jackpot since I started gambling but I have seen people winning big wins and jackpots too and I have seen how it has changed their lives, some were changed for good while some are changed for worst, for example, if some of them win, they will use it to invest themselves for their own betterment and might even stop gambling or might gamble responsibly unlike some who won't allow greediness to be responsible gambler to themselves, once they win big wins or big jackpot, they will want to use it to gamble to increase more of their win and such case will cost them to have a great loss which might affect their mental health.

That's wonderful and it is true that, while many people have a clear tendency to compare with others, specially in their surroundings, others have a stronger self-esteem and don't need it so much.

I have heard of people winning the lottery and I have thought: oh, I'd also like to win it! So I play lottery from time to time. But I remember that a few years ago some neighbors won certain lottery, and although many others started playing more seeking the same fate, wasn't my case.

In brief, I think that these cases of success are usually encouraging, but the effect among different people varies greatly between individuals.

I used to do it until I realized it's like you are chasing losses, it's envy, and greed that made you do this, the same thing that you feel when you are chasing losses.

Gambling is a game of luck, luck comes unexpectedly so one's luck could be your luck the next day and you don't have to change the way you bet because a guy you know hit a jackpot.

It's like a guy you read in news media who won the lotto, it's no use doubling or tripling your bet will increase your chance just because the guy who won the lotto had a lot of tickets, even a guy who bought one ticket had a chance to win.

Never, on the moment that there's someone who do make up some big wins then i would really be just that telling to myself that they were really indeed lucky.Never ever i did put up into my mind that i would really be trying out to reflect myself into them on which i do really tend to copy on what they are really that be able to achieve. We do know that when it comes to gambling then everyone does have their own luck on which means that if even you would really be trying you to copy on the things that they've been doing but doesnt mean that you would really be able to hit up on the same situation or luck. We do know that this is gambling and everything would really be just that relying on luck and if you are trying out to copy someone on how they do play then you are really just that putting yourself on such desperation mode on which this is really that not good on any way.

For some reason there are really people who d o get that influenced on the things that they are seeing on which it would really be that resulting that you will really be that definitely be trying to mimic them out
until you would really be experiencing some loses due to desperation and this is something that you must avoid at all cost. Gambling shouldnt really be something stressful or something that will really be that
making you having that kind of anxiety or any bad feeling or desperation becauise it do really that destroy the real essence on why we do gamble.

First thing first is to know your strengths of what kind of gambling works for you...if you are into casino games go for that, and if you have your interests set in sport then stick to that!

Otherwise jackpot stories or big accumulator  winners just tell a story that anybody can win if you play, and not trying your luck can never bring you closer to becoming a winner...but do these increase my need to increase my stake? That's definitely a no as I understand risk management is key to surviving the long game and this can't change the strategy!

That is a healthy mindset to have when comes to bonuses and the extremely very thin chance one has to hit them and change one's life. But we also need to understand that those jackpot are not a "bonus" or an addition to the advertisement of the casino. There are gamblers who have deluded themselves hard enough for them to take those jackpots as the literal aim or objective of them gambling session, you know. That is the disturbing part of the true gambling addiction.

An addicted person who always have jackpots in their mind could enter a casino or log on into one and exit that day with some relatively high profit (let us say 30 bucks), though that does not manner to them as that will use the initial bankroll and those new 30 dollars to continue next day with the seeking for the jackpot.

It is unfortunate, becwuse if it was not for the addiction to gambling those people would likely be very ambitious students, merchants, workers or executives.

Nope, because I'm someone who can be grateful with what I have without need to care what other people have.

If your friend can hit a jackpot in x games, it doesn't mean you will hit jackpot in that games too.
If your friend gamble for 3 hours per day, it doesn't mean you must gamble for 3 hours per day too.

Jackpot is just a bonus, the most important thing is do you feel happy while gambling and do you regret after your gambling session?

I would say yes those big wins and jackpots as a big impact on me in the sense that I place my mind to make it just as others do,on a norms you can dream big while putting effort towards that aspect, definitely most people gambling for money and to double their money but for me I see it differently cause I enjoy the fun but yet I nurse in me that I can still get a big win someday.

We all know hearing people's stories an testimonies about a success or an Achievement is an energised force that has a great impacts on anyone else cause you can't be spending money just because you want to but you will also place in your mind that I want to win too.

Well, I haven't had that large amount of wins, maybe just hundreds of dollars only because I don't gamble a lot but I don't come here and be more aggressive with my gambling habits. I just enjoy and leave some in my account to gamble again. A portion of it is what I withdraw and then continue to gamble the rest as long as the initial amount is withdrawn.

That's just my strategy. And I am thankful with myself being able to control myself during gambling.

That's right, the influence or motivation will always be there for gamblers when they see other people who can get big wins or just by seeing videos circulating it can make them motivated to be able to get big wins in gambling, but unfortunately in this case of course The motivation they want is misplaced, where they have motivation that can actually lead them to misery and big losses. It's true what you said, we have to be able to focus on controlling ourselves when the gambling we do ends in victory or defeat, because self-control is the key to reducing big losses.

what we have to do is we have to be able to enjoy the results of the gambling we do, even though the gambling we do ends, we have to be able to accept it because if we can't accept the losses that occur with the gambling we do, then we might have thoughts of going back to gambling because we want to. recover losses that have occurred or really want revenge because of an unacceptable defeat.

Seeing other gamblers made fortune through gambling can motivate someone to keep playing because of the thought that the time will come you'll win too. However, it's not a good mindset in gambling because every gamblers have different fate. Thus, don't be so hopeful because it can only lead to losses if you didn't control yourself when spending money in gambling. Just because you believe you'll gain huge too if you keep trying.

I used to be a gambler that is easily attracted to big win of gamblers. What i'm doing is, I will play the same game and expecting to hit a decent amount too. But that's not what we supposed to do when we gamble. Don't be attracted of other gambler's big win. Bet the amount you can afford to lose and refrain from being too inspired to win huge.

One thing about hitting a jackpot or a big win is that it doesn't come too easy and not when is expected, so those who would jump in and begin funding huge amount just to win a jackpot will not at that moment get it,  might be when a person least expect. It is good that will rather pay no attention to such stories and do as convenient on our financial level instead of doing too much with eager attempts to hit the jackpot. Everyone is lucky, maybe not yet your turn.

To say the truth, I have wished to be a winner like someone else many times before, but I couldn't let go of the reality that this is gambling, also I strongly believe that someone else path can't be the same as mine, so I move on after the weird feeling and thoughts.

When it is my time to gamble I still go my old ways, using the same amount I have been risking on gambling and I stop once I run out of money, I don't do what others are doing even if they get more luckier than me, it makes no difference, I could embark on what they did and I will be the one to lose.

You can't always be as lucky as others, and this gambling thing is all about luck, so why would you wish for something you can't control? It is safer to protect yourself when it comes to gambling, you can copy others in something else but not in gambling.

I don't think much about jackpot stories because I believe everything in life is based on timing, your time must surely comes someday so Thinking much about jackpot winning may Leed you to spend unnecessarily or gamble aggressively and becomes addicted.

I usually increase the amount I play with. But not because of the amount won by others but just that I feel like to increase my betting when I have extra cash and I feel like to increase.

I am always of the opinion that newcomers are most often lucky in the game—those who come by chance and accidentally but generously place bets. I was not a witness, but I have heard about such cases. If we talk about a targeted bet much higher than the previous amount, then either this can be done by a very rich person who does not count money or by someone who is already under the influence of passion and greed. Leaving everything to chance is a rather presumptuous action; after all, that person must have a good nervous system to cope with the expected loss. But if we talk about myself, I prefer to move in small but regular steps.

However, stories about jackpots that can significantly increase your winnings are always tempting, but the mind kicks in time, screaming that not everyone is destined to own big money.

Those jackpot stories haven't impacted my gambling routine even a little bit. I believe those stories are the stories of those players who are extremely lucky and I believe I'm not extremely lucky. I won't say that I'm not lucky but I believe I'm not extremely lucky and that's why I don't let such stories impact my gambling routine.

You are right and I agree with you that our friends wins can influence one to gamble more in other to see if you can be as lucky as he was. This is what have motivated some people into gambling because their friends that are gamblers was lucky enough to hit the jackpot, and they will lose to take the risk too. Currently, I have come to understand that luck plays a major role in gamble so if I see a friend that wins big, I will celebrate with him, but I will not be triggered by his wins.

Most of the time, jackpot and huge winnings drag other people to join gambling because almost every one wish to win big as well but they forget to know that gambling is about luck because i have seen a lot of people in my streets back then developed interest in gambling just because someone that was living in the neighborhood won a huge jackpot and used the money to travel abroad  that was how everyone in the street started playing gambling with the mindset they will win jackpot but some of them even got broke due to addiction and they didn't succeed so you don't depend on what works for others to work for you and gambling is pure luck.
Although sometimes it is also good to chase jackpot or bigger wins but we shouldn't allow it to get to our head such that we will find ourselves in vulnerable situations due to lack of knowledge on how to go about gambling.

Motivation or influence will always be there for other gamblers if someone gets a very large jackpot. We should focus on controlling ourselves in our own game, don't play too aggressively to chase something. To get something big is not easy, it takes a lot of time, it's best if we get or win any amount and it's not too big, we should enjoy what we get. In my opinion, this step is quite wise and responsible in controlling everything compared to us continuing to play hoping to get something much bigger.
