Topic: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? - page 18. (Read 2687 times)

I don't know but I feel as a gambler everyone ought to have experienced this one way or the other and I know it surely makes everyone think but it also serve as a point of hope because it's makes your start to be hopeful that if you can actually make it this close then you can surely make that win some day. For me I have gone through this experience lots of time and it's now common phenomenon for me as a gambler but what I just feel is that the right time has not come.

Indeed, they should plan their finances before entering the gambling world. But that doesn't happen to most people because they only think about experiencing gambling games or for those who are curious about gambling, they will just come to the casino, use the money in their wallet, and immediately play. But once they know what the situation is like in casinos, they should start to know that financial planning is necessary before gambling so they won't lose a lot of money. And it is true that when someone wins, he tends to be greedy and wants more wins.

This is what makes many people or gamblers experience a lot of losses. They don't know when to stop, especially when they have already won because if they continue gambling, they also don't have a big chance of winning again. So rather than taking a bigger risk, they should stop.

This happens to people who are just starting out in the world of betting or when people are already at the level of someone addicted to gambling, but from what I understand from op's first words when he says that people like him who don't gamble for fun, he is saying that he plays to make money, so the guy is a professional bettor, and professional bettors take sports betting very seriously and they also take the money they put into sports bets very seriously, so they are professional bettors has good bank management

Professional bettors don't bet with emotions, they don't put money into a game and then during or after the game think about whether they should have put more money into that game, that's not the way professional bettors act. so I don't understand what the p means when he says he doesn't bet for fun but then he says he thinks about the games he bet on and they're over, according to what I understand he after finishing the game he bet on he wonders if maybe I should have put more money on that bet

This thought of his probably comes after he has made a bet and won that bet, but there is a problem with this way of thinking, and that most of the time when people start to become addicted to gambling, they tend to have high winnings. , and when they make a bet and get it right, they start to think that they should have put a lot of money into that bet, which is why in the next bet they put more money in and lose everything. soon they will look for more capital to put in the bookmaker, and when they start to make loans, they steal and lie to get money to bet a lot. I hope you're not addicted to gambling

Indeed, there are times when this happens in the gambling activities that we do. Never mind things like that, if we just get a win, sometimes it can become a deep regret and immediately the emotions react, "If only I increased the bet before making the choice to bet, maybe I would get a bigger win than this. It's the lack of gratitude that makes we are like that. As much as possible, we must be wise and clever at being grateful in doing everything, including gambling. And even when we lose, we must be grateful for that. Because defeats and losses in gambling can make us realize that we should not go too far in gambling. including the time we spend doing gambling activities and the money we use to make bets"

In the OP's case, he has won the bet before. then, he tries to aim to multiply his winnings as he hopes. Unfortunately, what he bet on did not match his predictions and expectations. In the end, OP regretted it and thought that it was all motivated by his greed. then Op created a thread, asking how we would feel when we didn't have money to gamble, and what we predicted was accurate, even if we had money to gamble, it could change our lives forever. then, he asked if we would gamble again after that win.

Now that we're discussing what we discussed in this post, I'm interested in the points you made. someone who understands the situation regarding gambling, will not regret even if he fails to bet on his winning prediction. and yes, that's how the scenario should be. especially, if that someone is a professional gambler. However, humanly and psychologically, it is very normal to feel a little regret or disappointment. especially, if at that time we don't have the money to bet. But as you said, forgetting it and moving on is the best scenario rather than continuing to think about something that has passed, especially since it cannot be repeated. After all, we still have another chance, even though the momentum may no longer be the same.

It is a painful experience I must say but there is nothing you can really do about it. First, what are you doing predicting game when you don't have the funding to play same? Is your plan just to give yourself the emotional trauma that you just narrated? To me it is pointless predicting games games when you have not sort out the finances needed to play same.

The problem most gamblers make is lack of or poor planning. If you plan your gambling very well, your cash flow should be the first consideration before even starting off with your predictions. I have noticed that you tend to loose more when you are not financially balanced because your emotion will be fully engaged in the gambling that you make mistakes out of desperation.

Like I said before, if you have not planned your finances, it is pointless venturing into gambling.

That's right. You never know what's going to happen and feeling like you could've changed your life by doing something will only make you live in a state of constant regret and wondering why and what could've been. What if I invested in bitcoin in 2010? It would change my life that's for sure, but maybe I'd put it on Mt.Gox to sell it and got cheated out of it? Maybe you'd win that bet and then make a mistake of sending it to a wrong address and have even more to regret? Your future is never certain.

It sometimes lies in our confidence on the bets that we place. Also, it might be the lack of analysis that we made on the bets that lost with a high amount because we're too sure that it's going to hit. Some bets look too good but when you dig deeper and look for more resource, you can see that it has a flaw and can still lose on some circumstances that you haven't looked at. If excitement to win comes first before trying to win, then bets will really be lost no matter how you put it.

Only players understand gambling games not to earn money but to entertain themselves. Gambling is only used as entertainment. Like your friend you said he was just a drinker. There are many people like him who are good at processing cards but they are not actually gamblers.
I think he is a professional and used to gamble, but in the end he stopped and just had fun.

Regardless of the state of mind, a person who understand the situation will never feel any regret even if he missed to bet on his winning prediction.  The fact that the person has no money simply means that he has no capability to bet.  So instead of frustrating oneself, it is better to just look ahead and move on.  Next time a person must prepare a budget ahead of time  so that the same thing won't happen again.

If you are not a gambler like OP had said he isn't so much of a gambler so if he has money to bet, I doubt he will go all in and trust his prediction. The non gamblers often times will just be predicting.

I personally know someone who joins out night card games in the house of a friend but he is there just to join us drink our whiskey. He once sat on the table, we learn he knows how to play but not really a gambler. Folds all the time even when he has a pair.

A little sorry if our predictions were true before, I was sure that feelings and thoughts existed when in such a situation.
But the decision to leave it is the best decision because your situation does not have money to risk your predictions.

The point is do not force betting if you do not have money, because the potential will be much greater if we force our desire to bet, by borrowing other people's money might be a solution, but that is a bad solution that you take for such circumstances.
Every gambler must have felt such a situation and the results of predictions to overshadow our minds after predictions that are done becomes reality, but you have no place for it.
Just let it be an ordinary situation.

Depends to your current state of mind or discipline when that scenario happened. If you might be able to accept it without any problem. On the other hand, I assume that there could be cases where you will be anxious about what happened, one negative effect that you might do from that is borrow money to  place bets, a money that you cannot afford to lose since it is a debt.

It is and it's also very depressing. We won't just move on but we also need to take actions to prevent it from happening again like we don't need to play for fun if we don't have a money. If we are itching to gamble, we can divert our attention on other things for a while. A missed win can encourage us to improve the next time we bet, but this should only be applicable in sports betting and not in casino games because past results there won't matter anymore as the game is random.

Skipping a game because you think it's risky is I think different and that is a valid excuse so you should not regret about that. In gambling, it's important to know our capacity and we must stick with it at all times no matter what.

Having constant thoughts or replaying a scenerio like this that would have blessed ones effort in gambling is a constant reality for gamblers who have been in the game long enough.
The best thing gamblers who have had such experience before do these days is to, always remain some funds no matter how little in the wallet, as well as having bonus or rewards that have not been hastily withdrawn previously.

Such has happened to me at the initial stages when I tried betting on football matches, but I learnt to always stay abreast with the football matches table for all leagues and know what matches to bet on before hand.
Also, I bet on only a few selected games inorder not to miss out on good odds or have more of such stories happening.
Lastly, having a friend who gambles or bets same way, could be a solution to come through when there is such a scenario of having less funds while a sure game is ongoing.

Yes, it may go well according to your plan, you may be confident in the decisions you make, but it's true that things don't always go the way you want them to. Sometimes the final answer can be more than expected or even the opposite is very bad, so for any gambling it may be clear that the risk of losing will continue to dominate us, and well it is also very involved with your luck there. As you said above it's true my friend, we can try to analyze but the rest is difficult to be on target, and it's better to just cash out, even though you may be very confident but it will come back again no one knows what will happen on the field or for the final result of the match. So don't overdo it, because it's like you're creating problems for yourself.

Yes that's right, sometimes they come only for profit or victory, but rarely even think about the opposite, namely the risk, every victory behind it there must always be an even greater risk, it is absolutely not guaranteed to succeed there. Honestly, I think don't overdo it, do it the way you want to do it, you have to come prepared to experience everything and with that maybe you won't get emotional even if the end is far from expectations.

You might have predicted it correctly but there are no guarantees in the first place and so risks are still there even if you're positive that your team or fighter that you wanted to wager on got a huge chance. Of course, we cannot stop thinking about it especially if it turns out that our prediction was spot on, that is normal, but we are just giving ourselves a hard time because what's done is done and we cannot make something out of it as we don't have any money to wager to begin with.

Apart from thinking about it, why don't we think about the opposite one? Because even if we're confident, there are no guarantees that our bets will make it and so let's just leave it that way and think that it could've been a good way as we might've lost the money.

I don’t think this is a difficult question to answer. It’s as simple as ABC.
First question I think you should ask yourself is,

How many times have you gambled and how many times have you lost?
What’s been wrong with your prediction all those weeks or months?
Why haven’t your life changed since then?
What makes you think it would have made a lot of difference now?

It is easy to make the right prediction when you’ve got no resources but, once the resource is there, your most likely to input a bet that would mess it up.
It’s human nature and it’s gambling.

If I were in this position, then this will probably hunt me for the rest of my life.

Like the example that you provided, this is basically the dream of every gambler who focuses on profits. That one (1) opportunity where you bet a single game and the winnings could probably and most likely change the way we live our lives. In addition, as someone who lives in a third-world country, gambling is what makes the possible of one dreaming in living the life of a rich person.

Though this may be the case, the chances of this opportunity happening is truly low- similarly to lottery winners.

Thinking about the bet you didn't make doesn't make any sense at all because it was in the past and as you said you don't have the money to stake which is conclusive enough to say that you are capable of not spending that much money that is supposed to change your financial status.

But as you said it happens but that's the reality, we can't do anything about it and may give ourselves a little pat about our predicting skills and try to utilize it in your profession to make more revenue which will surely increase the economical stage which may not be same as overnight but that will actually happen if you do the right thing.
