My biggest win was $1000 that was two years ago I cannot even consider it a good win because after the next few days I also lose more than that amount, thinking that I can win again and even double that amount I was devastated I resort to chasing my loss, you can hardly remember your winning when you lose a lot, but losing will make you a more controlled player while winning can temp you to bet more.
That means the biggest wins you've got in the end lose more than that amount. If you don't gamble again after a few days, you may still enjoy the big winnings. And that big win can indeed trigger you to return to gambling because you may think you can get another big win in the next bet. But the reality will not always be the same as what we think, so this is where it is important to have the self-control not to return to gambling after getting that big win. But hopefully, you can get another big win in the next bet and immediately stop and not gamble for a while and not be tempted to go back to gambling.
Some people believe that the luck they have in winning a game if they go back to play again they will still have luck to win again. If he had enjoyed the money he won for some days and went back to play the game he would not have lost so big. It seems after he won he went back to double his game, that is why he lost more than what he won.
If they think like that, they better stop it immediately because it won't always give them victory. We can tell them to stop immediately after they win the game and enjoy the winning money instead of having to play and end up losing a lot of the winning amount. There is no point if, after we win a lot but we continue to play and hope to win more money because the result will not be what we want.
Unfortunately, that won't be easy;to stop playing as long as there is a drive for him to go, he will. But it is indeed wrong to push one's luck especially if it is a gamble because there's no assurance whether you'd win again or your winnings could be turned into losses. Satisfaction is the main key here;knowing when to stop and knowing when to play. It depends on oneself if he will risk his winnings because no matter how we push someone to avoid something, we cannot keep an eye on them 24/7, they'd do it still if they really wanted to, just like with any regular vices.
In doing so, i wonder how some gamblers set gambling as their main source of income for a living, why i said so is because i consider winning as not a perpetual or continuous process, it in most cases an occasional occurrence and living by gambling should be a thing of consideration because nit everyday the gambler wins, how will he be able to meet up with family daily responsibilities as father and for the singles how will they make some savings for a living, one can have a continuous loses on a stretch but to have it for winning has a slerk chances.
It is difficult to do this because gambling is not a job that always gets paid when it is done.
For me, winning in gambling is only a bonus from gambling because basically gambling is not to find winnings every day for the necessities of life because this is clearly wrong.
On the other hand, it is quite naive to rely on gambling because indeed we cannot do that even though there may be many wins but still the actual loss ratio is much greater than the wins.
This is also sad to some, wherein they are relying their daily living in gambling which is definitely wrong. Well in some fortunate cases, they do manage to be well-off with this routine but given that it does not happen to the majority, planning to di the same could result into something or the opposite to be exact. This is alike with people wherein they are using their salary in gambling with expectation that they money would be doubled, but ending up losing everything, pushes them to the edge, and eventually lending money to their relatives or friends. Quite cliche right? 'coz it happens a lot to many people.
