Topic: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... - page 6. (Read 2005 times)

Nothing is sure in gambling lolxxx. I have had alot of terrible losses but I have never thought about quiting gambling but I used to give myself some break. Those break periods I will use them to be predicting matches that I will not bet. Just to see the result after the whole match.
I discovered that if I don't put money my predictions are more accurate, but once money enters my prediction will become trash and make me to lose money. I no longer depend on gambling money for anything apart from entertainment and nothing else.

Last 23 November, i placed a bet on Japan vs Germany where I was pretty sure that Germany would win the match. I wonder that Argentina make mistakes but that would not be repeat by Germany? Whereas I was confident and breathing a sigh of relief when Germany scored a goal midway through the game but never imagined it will lost in the second half. I was so disappointed that I almost stopped betting from that day and opened my sports book again today. Just trying to get that golden time back on my betting.

Gamblers get depressed from suffering a big loss, and that can fuel their desire to recover the next day. But if they know it's not going to be easy, they won't do it but will stop while decompressing the tension and forget about the defeat. And yes, doing all in on a single bet is a big mistake because we use big money that can run out instantly without us realizing it. So it's even better if he can split his bet over several bets and only use some of his money to avoid losing completely.

Whether you are too confident or not, losses can still happen here in gambling but I think it's wrong to be overconfident and go all in. In gambling, we should only bet small or bet only the amounts that we can afford to lose.

There are people who will decide to quit gambling after a major loss but there's also some who will quit after a big win because they are done with their mission of recovering their past losses. If your goal is to beat the house and make profit, you should know how to quit and not come back ever again before you got stuck in a loop because most of the times, gambling is only about winning and losing.  Preferably losing.

OP, what's your plan now? It seems worth putting a shot on those underdogs in the next phase of the games.

Who knows that a new upset will happen every now and then? It's a good gamble.

This year FIFA World Cup is really surprising and I'm sure a few upsets will still happen.

Sometimes the team or a fighter that's almost sure to win loses. It's very common in MMA where you have fighters that can be 10-0 or even 20-0 and there comes a day when they end up defeated.
Saudi Arabia caught everyone by surprise so if it helps you sleep at night know that many other people also lost money betting on this game. Shit happens, but life goes on.

Argentina's defense made two serious mistakes, if they had been more attentive in defense, I believe that Argentina would have won this game, but these two mistakes in defense gave victory to Saudi Arabia, anyway, tomorrow Argentina has a game and we'll see how far they are determined to go far in this world cup, mexico is not a great team like in the past, at least that's what i think, argentina has a chance to beat mexico, if they lose then they will have to go home, it's a game where for argentina only the victory matters


argentina has a lot of good players, that's why people have high expectations about argentina, you see lautaro martinez, and so many good players who play in big teams, argentina even without messi they won a lot of games, this defeat was the lack of concentration on defence, but I believe the argentina coach needs to change, how the hell does he expect them to score many goals playing with only 2 forwards? it seems to me that the argentina coach is aimless, i hope that in this next game against meximo he will put 3 strikers if he really wants to win this game, at least he will put dybala + lautaro martinez + messi, there would be 3 strikers, argentia could not score goals against saudi arabia, it was visible and the damn argentina coach didn't put the dybala or make changes in the attack, honestly it looked like he wanted to lose on purpose

Very few could've made the bet at the highest odd just to find how is the luck. Entire nation celebrated it and the government have announced Rolls Royce for every player. A big game recorded in history and a big learning for Argentina to come up strong. Everyone waiting for the upcoming match of Argentina and from the very beginning there is discussion on Argentina that we can't term a team to be strong based on a single player's performance.

Rest assured that you were not the only one losing money because of that result. Those are the games that make you sick big time when you lose money. But did it even make sense to place a bet on Argentina? I haven't checked the odds for Argentina, but they must have been very low. I just read that the odds for Saudi Arabia to turn the game around was 125 after the goal was scored 10 minutes into the game. Would have been a funny gamble with just a few dollars. Maybe some drunk dudes went for the gamble but no way somebody chooses to do that when you are sober!

This is something that will definitely happen when we are sure, because I think your friend had no doubts at first, even though betting big enough in Argentina with odds of 1.16, it is clear that the risk is greater than the advantage, and indeed it is possible that it is because of these odds that your friend is betting boldly enough .
This is a little heartbreaking and of course you have to be able to pass it. Hopefully this can be a lesson and your friends can recover losses in this match.

Be patient, Argentina's defeat to Saudi Arabia made many people lose bets. Who would have thought that Argentina would lose? Even Saudi Arabian players and supporters might think that Argentina will win. However, everything is different in the field. They lost and many gamblers lost their money. To be honest, this FIFA World Cup really gave a lot of surprises. There were several teams from other strong countries that lost or only drew.

It would indeed be better if you stop first before you are really ready for the world of gambling or betting again. Absolute defeat is very painful especially if we really lose money. When reality is contrary to expectations, this makes us very down. From this bitter experience, we can take evaluation and lessons from it so that in future gambling activities we can be more careful, especially in managing our money and position.

But the question is when are you going to forget about your big loss? Because for most of the gamblers, the more they lose money, the more they gamble to chase all their losses. So it will take another huge money to lose again before this gambler realizes that gambling is not really good for him. And also, going all in always ends up in losing than winning the bet, so probably gamble with only a small amount so you won’t be hurt when you lose them all.

Very common behavior as a gambler on which you do really make yourself that impulsive which might really that able to move on or would really make the betting behavior even got worst.
This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due into this kind of behavior which you cant really make yourself that able to control where on the time that you are expecting too much.

You would really be thinking up on quitting directly and tell that you are done but pretty sure that in next days then you would definitely be considering on playing again.

These emotions are temporal but later on those would be going back to normal and this is where you do play again.

True, it hurts on the pocket, it hurts on the mind and it hurts to see our favorite team losses when we all know that they are more capable of those performances.  Disappointment takes a toll on our emotion.  Even some people got trauma if the disappointment is too huge for them to handle.


True, going against the better odds always resulted in failure but in sports, upset is a regular thing and always gives a sweet return in terms of profit.  Just like what others always say, we can't be sure of the result until it happens.  So we arent sure if we can win the bet or not even though we picked the one that the crowd's favorite or the dominant team.


That was a huge amount but I believe your friend can absorb the losses hopefully he can recuperate those losses on other bets.  It is really a bad thing to think that the game is a sure win because of the factors we know, there is always a random factor that will affect the result of the game.  I hope the game isn't rigged because if it is then it will only add salt to the wound.

Thank you mate for the kind words, I appreciate it as well as appreciate everyone that have chipped in their thought and kind advice, I appreciate every one..

That game was just so shocking, there were no other details to check, those who betted for Saudi Arabia did so because the the really high odd, and they all bet very little amount which clearly shows that they weren't expecting Saudi to win, but were trying out their luck, serious gamblers who were strong willed and had huge cash to bet all put their money on Argentina, a friend of mine called me a few days ago to ask for help and narrated how he lost $10,000 on that game, it's really heart breaking though, but we all must learn to be strong in times like this, this is the kind of loss that lead many some gamblers into suicidal thoughts and eventually, suicide.

I am sorry for the big loss that you incurred during that game. It happens to the best of us.  I also suffered that kind of loss some time ago. I bet on a team that I know was better and was the favorite in the odds without checking other details. I incurred a big loss too.

I think what you are doing is right. Staying away from betting while you are not yet in the right head space is the right thing to do. It will just make matters worse if you bet even when you are still contemplating your loss. It can make you make bad decisions like chasing the loss that you have. Stay away until you are fully ready to bet again. You will be fine.

Everyone has a relapse with gambling at some point. Those are things you better accept. You also have times when you have a good run and have won a lot of money. You can also try to stick to that, but you have to put it on the scale next to each other. If it makes you depressed I would recommend stopping, but often it is only a short period of time that a player stops. Sooner or later it will start to itch again and then a player will still deposit money again, with all possible consequences.

I did not bet on this match, but if I had to choose between Argentina and Saudi Arabia I would of course bet on Argentina because they show a good game compared to Saudi Arabia.

We can only guess if this match was fixed and who is to blame for Argentina's defeat, but something happened that many did not expect. Even good sports analysts lost, so I think we should not dwell on this match and go ahead.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, because I can really understand how it feels like staking high and losing such game, most especially after been given a decent cashout and you left everything hoping to win, only to lose everything during extra time, as that's what pains the most. But, it's a lesson to learn from, as you should always learn to stake a game with an amount you can always afford to lose in case such scenerio doesn't go as plan

Even Blatter admitted that Qatar won the right to host the World Cup through corruption. In general, there are a lot of officials in football and therefore there is a lot of corruption. I read that PSG's financial injection was part of a scheme that made Qatar host the World Cup - Qatar bought fighter jets from France for many billions of dollars, bought PSG and poured huge money into it. This is corruption of the highest level and I don't know how ordinary people can deal with it.
