If he loses the temper to hold back, that's when trouble will come and he will have a hard time dealing with it. An example is if he loses, he will not be able to think long and hard that he should stop and leave gambling because of his defeat, but he will continue to try to catch up with his losses. And if he wins, he doesn't stop but instead tries to get another victory.

This has happened to many gamblers, and they have had to lose a lot in the end. But they are not sorry to see the loss and instead will return to the casino to recover previous losses. Gamblers who cannot be patient and self-controlled will not be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment but as a place to make money.

Although your numbers are quite large compared to smaller gamblers, the one area where all gamblers lose control is their ability to stop themselves. Especially when a gambler has to bet a lot, he loses patience to refrain, most gamblers make such wrong decisions. But after winning a large amount of money by gambling, he must be aware and increase his patience. But most of the gamblers are not patient like that, rather they get impatient and stop gambling and keep betting again and again and eventually lose all their money. So before gambling a person must regret his patience in case he can fulfill his dreams in future.

This is an awful way to compound a problem, being a victim of a gambling addiction is already bad enough, owing money you cannot afford to pay is also very bad as it can cripple your finances for years or even decades, however combining both is just asking for trouble.

As it is obvious such a loan will not be used for anything productive and instead it will be used to fuel an addiction, and when the time comes to pay up what you owe then you will find yourself cornered, and we have seen people in the exact same position taking their lives as they fail to see a way out of their problems.

Just as it is commonly applicable to many of us that we don't easily let go of some of our experiences in gambling because we feel very remorse about them thinking that we could have performed well than we did while gambling but there's always a reason to think or remember about the risk involved in gambling a well, we can get over it by being hardworking the more to face the consequent encounters in gambling while taking off our minds from the past experiences in other to be able to move on.

The easiest way to ruin yourself and your life is to borrow money from somewhere and gamble with it, because the chances of you making something out of that will be about 1% and the chances of you losing everything in gambling will be about 99%, now the choice is yours about what you should do, borrow money to gamble or simply find another way to earn a living for yourself and your family and have a dedicated budget from your earnings for your gambling activities.

A lot of people make the mistake of borrowing money for gambling, they don't realize that they are going to get trapped once they get into this thing, they will keep borrowing money to repay the loans and gamble what's left and lose that too, it keeps getting deeper and deeper.

I do assume on the same thing on which there are really people who are really that kind of having different level of boastfulness or something that they do really like to showoff something incredible and this is why they would really be trying out to achieve on something which not everybody could be able to do so specially with other gamblers who do make out huge bets or trying out to hit some good multipliers but this one
is really trying out to achieve that $1M winning or profit which is something that it is really that too big. We know that we human beings does really have that kind of tolerance when it comes to risks and on the time that
you do see that you are almost there then you wouldn't really be stopping it until you would really be able to reach out such target. You cant really achieve up these things without having that proper bankroll
or money you could have on which we could really be able to say that OP is really indeed a rich person because not all would really be able to make such decision considering that 90k bet in one go is something
that not everyone would be doing.

That is something common though,I have tried it myself,when I hit a big win from sport betting I immediately think of the next bet as to where to place the won money to multiply it further so that is very difficult to fight.This is further emphasized when we win a big amount of money as that makes us even more confident than before and as such we don't think that cold headed when placing our next bet which can have really bad consequences as we can lose all the collected money so far,nevertheless I don't blame the OP,when I won one time from 10 dollars 1600 dollars many many years ago I was so euphoric that I could barely keep myself as at that time the value of 1600 dollars was the same as to have won 10.000-15.000 nowadays and I was immediately thinking of my next bet,so this is natural behavior but of course it is wrong.

Gamblers must know their own character and this is very important so they don't experience continuous defeats because they don't realize the many mistakes when betting and must be corrected immediately if they want to continue playing gambling. And emotions, lust, ambition, haste, and lack of self-control are enemies that must be corrected so that they don't happen again and also minimize fatigue.
It's not easy, but you have to do it if you don't want to run the risk of losing often and even becoming an addict.
and if you are able to fix your bad you can play calmly or will play when you are in a good position and with enough capital to play, even you can get a full or partial win when in a winning position because you can control yourself because you go when you are in a winning position, and don't follow the ambition to keep playing. Because when you have won, there will definitely be a feeling of wanting to keep playing and hoping to win again which will actually make you lose everything because of ambition and lust while playing, so it's very important to fix what's wrong with your bet.

Dear NAPK1NS_RA3,

Your post resonates with a tale of grit, ambition, and the innate human need to strive for more. It's apparent that you have an uncanny knack for sports betting, but it seems the thrill of "going all in" is where things start to unravel. And I understand, it can be exhilarating. But as we know, it also carries tremendous risk.

I represent Chipstars, a place where we celebrate wins, but more importantly, we support our players during their losses. We believe in responsible gambling, and I would like to suggest a few guidelines that could help change your relationship with gambling.

1. Set a Budget: Decide beforehand how much money you are willing to risk. Once you've reached this limit, walk away.

2. Aim for Moderation: It sounds like you have a 'go big or go home' attitude, which can lead to substantial wins but also devastating losses. Perhaps a change in mindset to 'slow and steady' could be beneficial.

3. Be Patient: Rome wasn't built in a day, and nor are fortunes. Aim for smaller, consistent profits instead of one grand payday.

4. Seek Support: If you're struggling with your gambling habits, seek help. We have resources at Chipstars to help manage gambling issues and can provide contacts to professional help if required.

5. Set Limits: Your casino must have the ability to limit how much you can bet on a daily or monthly basis. If you feel this would help, you can give it a shot for a specific time.

Remember, Chipstars is not just about winning; it's about enjoying the process and being part of a community. Gambling should be entertaining, not a source of stress or financial instability.

I invite you to join our community, where you'll find support and perhaps a fresh approach to your betting strategy.

Hang in there, NAPK1NS_RA3! You've shown great potential with your wins, now it's time to master managing the losses. We believe in you, and we're here to help.

Apart from acting hastily, they had also greatly exaggerated their hopes of victory. The factor of patience and self-control also plays an important role in every defeat. Those who don't have a strong mentality and are easily emotional will definitely be tempted to do it again with the aim of winning which they may not necessarily be able to get. Gambling is very disturbing psychologically, especially when using borrowed money or for other important needs. In fact, placing too high hopes on gambling is something that is very wrong. It's too easy for them to assume that they will win, so their vision changes where they think that they will be able to get a lot of money just by gambling, without them realizing that this is just a matter of luck which will not always come to them.

Sounds like you are the person who could get 1mil but only if you start to learn addition not just multiplying for 1 big win.    Every time you win take half off the table and put this down as my costs.   Even the best mountain climber has to stake in a new peg for the guide-rope along the way or he risks losing all prior work done in the climb, so just secure your progress. 
  You are putting in alot of effort and risk when gambling, take some out for the cost of this dream win and soon enough if you regularly predict sports bets it will add up and you will be at the top victorious

Checking on his record makes me think that he really can make that goal if he will just be more patient. He can turn a few grand to a 100k or more multiple times. This show how he is good on sports betting since he almost complete his goal if you sum all his supposed to be profit. I really think that his goal is realistic for him.

He is not betting peanuts and turns into same peanut amount. He is capable but lack patience to go slow when needed the most.

Indeed, we must not overlook the fact that addiction is an intensely personal struggle, differing wildly from one person to the next.

The so-called 'gradual approach' for gamblers facing addiction, though seemingly sensible, doesn't entirely take into account the psychological facets at play. A simple cut-back on time and money gambled might not tackle the core issues. We must explore the realms of psychological counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help individuals untangle the reasons fueling their actions.

When it comes to addiction recovery, simply quitting is just the tip of the iceberg. The healing journey is much broader than mere abstinence. Individuals might deal with deep-seated issues, like depression or anxiety, which could have led to or worsened their addiction. Thus, emotional guidance and potentially medical intervention play key roles in the path to recovery.

If a gambler has no contentment, he can't appreciate the amount that he already gained because of his goal to reach $1m. Hence, if he will continue chasing his dream it's very possible to experience more winnings, as well as losses. Because even you're a professional gambler (who's impressive to turn a few dollars to thousand) and able to profit in gambling but didn't set a limit, then you'll just continue what you used to.

Thus, it would be better to set a realistic amount to achieve so you can already stop after gaining a decent amount.

This is key, just as people do not get addicted to gambling overnight, the process of leaving their compulsion behind is not something that will happen at that speed either.

If the problem has not escalated to the point of becoming an addiction then a slow approach seems like the best, simply decrease the amount of time and money you spend on it and do this for months until you reach your goal, however if things got so bad to the point a person is addicted then they need to stop gambling immediately and keep this going on for months as well before they can claim there was some sort of recovery, and even then someone which reached that point will struggle with the temptation to gamble again for the rest of their lives.

Ambition leads to addiction; instead of settling for gambling, we should take the time to figure out what works for us. It is not a straightforward journey to cease gambling; it may be decreased and limited, but it takes an extended period of time. I've been there, and I know exactly how one feels when his or her wagers produce in massive profits, as well as the breakdown feeling when it results in massive loses. Absolutely nothing has an advantage without a disadvantage, therefore we learned to scope our style and connection in everyday with the system's slow functioning. 

That is it, what I normally do is to take a break anytime I have a big win because that way is the only method to get out of the excitement of winning and wanting to go further on a higher wager stake that will increase the risk of losing at the end.


I had a very bad experience with one of the popular casinos we have in the forum when I won my first bet instead of quitting and taking a long break, I rather went in for multiple odds and increased the stake amount, and in the end, I lost everything including my first bet.

Behind his win, some losses might exceed the win that he will get or has already gotten. On the other hand, if he could stop in time after getting a big win, he could enjoy that advantage by celebrating. And it's not worth it if he risks all his savings just to gamble, even though he is a professional at gambling. Nothing can guarantee that someone can always get the win because this is gambling, so he shouldn't be greedy to chase the win after the win.

Agreed, a gambler should deserve this fact very carefully. Because after gambling, if I can't save any assets, then at some point it will come down to zero again. i have to deposit money again. If a portion of the profits are set aside from the start, it can help in tough situation. Gambler must remember that if luck is good then everything can be easily obtained and if luck is bad everything gained can be gone in a moment. Taking risk in gambling is a very common factor but I don't think we should expect anything more too soon.
