Topic: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win - page 9. (Read 2244 times)

Either this is a poor breakdown of how you win games as a gambler or the casino you're playing with's fucking with you. But I'm gonna wager on the notion that you're basically thinking of this poorly. Matter of fact regardless of how much you win or lose it's not gonna add up to whether you're betting on big amounts or small ones. It's pure coincidence, and if it weren't it's probably due to the fact that you're able to bet more when you place smaller wagers compared to big bets which are one-time big-time.

I can say this 100% certainty as it happens to my games as well, especially back in the days when I was still very stingy with my bets. I seldom bet small nowadays but looking back I find that I win more when I bet small compared to when I bet big, but I crossed it out as me just having this stupid heuristic of winning more when I bet small due to the fact that I was able to play more compared to when I bet bigger amounts. So yeah, thinking logically it would make sense and it's not like you're going to be wrong, but to attribute it to anything other than mathematics and real life kicking you in the shin is just a massive L on your part. Casinos would run out of business if they start fooling their customers. They knew that much. So every advantage they have they inform the people about it.

I believe gambling outcomes are random. Probabilities, not partiality, determine the outcome. Every die roll, wheel spin, or card draw forgets the last. I like the idea that luck is transient and elusive. As I've learned, gambling is about the thrill, chase, and excitement, not just winning big. Even minor wins are victories. It shows the system's fairness and unpredictability. Though little, every triumph is a beacon of luck in the sea of chance.

Remember that gambling relies on luck. The thrill is in it. Gambling is about the experience, not the outcome, I've always stated. Its about enjoying the game, accepting the chances, and enjoying the voyage, regardless of the stake.

Just a coincidence I guess but I wonder if you feel tense up when you place a higher amount? That could cloud your mind and cause you to commit mistakes that you don't normally make when you're more relax.
It would be detrimental to a casino if someone could prove that house edge unfairly increases as bet per game increases.

What? I never thought that casinos would protect us from gambling addiction, on the contrary, casinos hope that every user becomes an addict so they will always gamble.

I don't know why it has to be written in bold

All gambling will be fun if we win, no one likes losing, anywhere, not just in gambling. Gambling uses money so everyone hopes to get money, it doesn't make sense if there are people who gamble without wanting money. If there is, maybe only <5%.

Perhaps you are cursed, my friend. If this is your only problem with betting, why don’t you make small and many bets as long as you win when your bet is small, but do not feel frustrated because there is no way to understand gambling. Rather, you must gamble many times and you may lose every time. Once, but you will win in the end

Then why dont you keep on betting small amount most of the time if you think that the system/algorithm of the casino know your pattern and give you more wins with smaller bet?
If it is real happening (not just coincidence or luck) and if I was you, I'll play small amount and collect the small profit because if it is true that small bet give more wins then we may win decent amount of money collectively after doing many bets.
In fact there is no such pattern, our bet amount does not affect our winning chance so we can both win and lose no matter how much we bet.

This has nothing to do with the advantage of the casino but more on the mindset of the gambler which sometimes it has already become superstitous. It's not based on facts and real chances anymore, we tend to believe about luck and at the same time we are losing being realistic in gambling. At the end of the day, it's only our strategy that matters because if it's working, it should not be surprising that we will end up profitable, or might be consistent if we are really good, but if we talk about casinos with real house edge, then no skills would work on that matter.

This phenomenon is more about chance and psychology. I wonder if the casino's gears turn when we bet. Casinos capitalize from our disadvantages. Gambling's randomness, not the system, singles us out. Losses hurt more when I wager big because each game is independent. One bet doesn't affect the next. My wins on lesser wagers may be more recalled since losing is less painful.

As an expert, I recommend playing within your means. Unpredictability makes gambling fun. Casinos don't need to manipulate because the odds are already in their favor. Enjoy the game as a mix of chance and strategy with enjoyment as the goal.

Don't stress yourself out with it OP have fun and yeah same here I also won in my small bets but it's okay maybe what happened to us is like we're just entangled in something like a winning trap so we keep on placing our bets.

Then keep using small money to win, it's even better that you are winning using small money, it's like the casino is keeping you in check, to avoid getting addicted to gambling, why complains?

You aren't even suppose to risk a lot of money on gambling in the first place, it's not a responsible way of gambling, so if you are winning with big amount doesn't mean you should continue using big amount, ask yourself if you can afford to lose the big amount first.

Gambling was suppose to be fun, but many people turn it into a source to make money, which doesn't make a lot of because gambling needs your good luck to get positive result.

I think everyone has felt this and this can also be a lesson when gambling. We can know better what to do when managing funds for gambling and don't always have to use large bets if we feel unsure. Because there are times when a bet that we believe in goes wrong and we already use a lot of money. So I think this can be a natural deterrent when we are going to gamble with large stakes.

I think it doesn't matter as long as we win even if we use small bets and it teaches us to always be alert and maybe even if we lose when using small bets it also helps us from losing much bigger money. So this seems like a mutual benefit and even though in the end we also experience losses when making big bets, I think it is a reminder so that we don't rush too much in the future. But again, luck is the real differentiator for everyone when gambling and that is beyond everyone's thinking capacity.

I understand that you think luck is important in gambling, and some people might have more luck with smaller bets. But it's important to remember that gambling is mostly about chance and probability. Luck can change.
Instead of only depending on luck it's better to think carefully and plan when you gamble. This means knowing the chances of winning using your money wisely and making smart choices based on research and thinking. By paying attention to these things you can improve your chances of winning no matter how much you bet.

if this happens to you often, maybe you don't have luck in gambling, if you see yourself winning more when you bet with a low amount, maybe that's where you should focus because it's hard to risk, especially if you notice that you keep losing over and over again when you bet a lot of money. I have never experienced a situation like yours, I win sometimes even if my bet is big or small. Maybe it really depends on whether you have been struck by bad luck so that the result of your bet is not that good.

I always bet small right from the start and I most times lose money, but because the amount is too small its nothing to write home about.

Whereas, some people will say that I am not winning because I am risking too small money, so why are you losing when you risk big money and start winning when you lose small money?

Maybe it's because this is what works for you, or maybe it's because small amount gives you the calmness you need, to make the right bets? I think you should check yourself, many aren't aware of themselves, by the way, what type of game you talking about? Slots or sports games?

Are you always in fear when you risk big money? This could be the cause of everything, meaning you are risking what you can't afford to lose, and it's causing distraction for you, maybe?

That's right, it means that many gamblers are also involved in the same type of game and at the same time as you, and also I think it's unlikely that all gamblers who gamble in the same game as you have the same results, in the sense that when betting large amounts they lose but when betting small amounts they win, and that means I think this is nothing more than luck that is far from you so that you get not very good results, and that means it's not a matter of casinos that are casinos that show favoritism among gamblers by manipulating. So the bottom line seems to be that it is true that you are really far from luck, or that means you have bad luck by only being  able to win a small amount of bets, but on the other hand I think it doesn't matter if you get a win with a small bet because on the other hand many other gamblers always fail to win whether it's in a big or small bet, so here you are still quite lucky.

This is just a placebo effect and it's the same when we trade.

They may have the footprints of our gambling pattern but the system of most casinos is for them to win and have a higher percentage than losing.

It's the opposite for us gamblers and that's why when you bet big and you lose, try to set it little lower so that you won't feel bad when it happens.

No, it is not about the amount of money you bet but it is about the luck. If you have no luck, you won't win the bet whatever the amount of money. I'm sure you probably still experience losses although you bet with small amount of money. If you always win it when you bet small money, why don't you continue to bet with the same way? Although you bet with a small amount, you will get much money if you bet in various matches.  

I think it is impossible for the casino knows our betting patterns. How they know it? We probably use different patterns because we may bet in different things.    

If we are betting on a match, the chance will be 50:50. The result of the match isn't determined by the casinos. Why we assume they are unfair?  
You've done the right way to avoid thinking in that way.

Maybe the OP doesn't mean to be too confident, it's just that he feels confused when the result is different from the bet he bet on, even though big and small bets don't affect winning or losing in a game, that's why he said that because he was surprised by the results he got when gambling. betting a little often wins and betting big often loses, even though this also happens to all gamblers, not only he feels it, maybe if he is an experienced gambler he won't ask this question, maybe he is a beginner so he feels surprised by the results he gets from his bets .

It's true what you say that it seems OP is gambling on casino gambling, not on sports betting, as we know that against casino gambling machines it is difficult to win, even though winning is just luck, nothing more, just a little luck, different from sports betting, it requires something called ability. reading analysis and other things to bet does not only involve complete luck like playing in a casino, but again, depending on everyone's view of this, actually betting small or large will not affect losing and winning in gambling games.

To be fair, there’s some issue like this before which casino rigging the result but this is long time ago and games back there is just a simple dice and the typical house game of the casino.

The OP is pertaining on a table games which probably live games. Sometimes I feel this way since everything in live games is happening behind the camera and there’s no way to verify the result since the game is happening on IRL while just broadcasting it live. But there’s no reason for casino and game providers rig now their game since they already have tons of customers and they can get consistent profit through house edge advantage. So you’re that OP probably just imagine things when betting big since he have less try on doing it compared when betting small.

I think you are just imagining things; we tend to hold onto something when things are not aligning with us. We tend to think of something that will comfort us. Just like what you've said, you lose when you stake a large amount of money, and you win when you stake a small amount of money. If it were the other way around, would you think the same? Would you think that all of the betting sites and casinos' systems are tracking all your bets? I think not. This is just a mere coincidence; if ever betting sites and casinos do know our bets and their patterns, then it is much harder to track because there are plenty of players in one casino alone.

I did also experience this, but for me, it is just myself. I just create things to mend myself from all the losses I have.
