Topic: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses - page 2. (Read 5867 times)

Yes, what you said is also true that we do not need to be too excessive in blaming something that is not really the cause as well as interference with the internet connection, because after all we never know about the actual results at the end of the session whether we will actually win or not, one of the reasons is because gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that maybe you will win but maybe you will lose at the end of the session, of course it can never be known even if you are very skilled.

This means that we have to go back to the original understanding and understanding of the basis of gambling which is always about uncertainty as to the outcome at the end of the session, I understand that having an internet outage when you are gambling is quite an annoying situation but on the other hand you don't need to be too disappointed and regret it because you don't know the end result, and I would say that disappointment and or excessive annoyance at something like internet interference is normal if you are basically at the end of the session where you see that it turns out that if there is no internet interference then you can win the game, but if the result turns out to be a loss then I think you don't need to be too excessive in blaming other things because even if such coincidental interference does not occur it is not certain that you can win.

I think this is not only applicable in gambling, there are things that we really rely on a good internet and even if you are in a country that had good internet, you are bound to experience this kind of phenomena and the bad thing is that it spells a big difference, whether getting closing a deal, or putting a bet.

And this is what we call glitches, is unexpected, and it has a dire consequences for us gamblers. All we can do is just scratch our head specially if our supposedly bet didn't go in because of disruptions and then when it comes back, we should have won, very bad experience for us gamblers.

One of the minor reasons of destroying our momentum in playing but I can't say it is the main reason why we lose in gambling because sometimes even if our internet connectivity is good, we rarely win. It's valid that we will regret it, but you don't need to blame everything on the internet unless you're sure that you're going to win, like you need to confirm an amount and then suddenly the internet goes crazy, such sample scenarios, but if you're in the middle of the game and suddenly there's of the problem, you can't blame the connectivity because you're still not sure that you're really a winner.

I got a couple losses incurred all because of my slow internet connection, forcing my very impatient ass to refresh the page and see that the bet went through but the game/platform automatically tagged it as a loss, or in some cases literally losing internet connection on a whim, which arguably is the most uncontrollable yet the most annoying situation for me.

In the former case I got no one to blame but myself, personally being impatient and not waiting on the loading screen to really go through even though most of the time I have all the time in the world is what really causes me to lose these otherwise controllable games. I blame myself, I move on, I bet again. On the other hand, when my internet connection completely dies out on me, that's when I get the most angry about. Not only because I know I'm about to lose the bet/game I've been gambling on, but also because if you have a little bit of a background as to how the Philippine internet connection system works, every downtime like that you should expect to wait for a few days to have it reinstated, it's just how subpar the internet system in here is, so at the end of the day it's not really about the bet itself but the premise of not being able to access the internet and all my most visited sites and platforms for a few days.

This is why if you dont like on getting frustrated then it would really be just that right that you shouldn't really be playing into those spots which does have that poor internet connection
but sometimes it cant really be avoided considering that there are really dead spots specially when we are in transit while we are playing gambling on which it would really be causing those
connections to be that not that good which it would really be making that gambling experience do really sucks but in overall when it comes to result then i dont believe
that it would really be affecting it fairness. The only thing that you would really be able to experience is that it do really just that stop the fun. 

Well, internet connection plays a huge role in our gambling activities, but you are one-sided in your allegations regarding it. Because if the internet could be disrupted when we bet, it either works for us or against us depending on what we bet and the situation at that time. But your saying as if it always works against us is not particularly true. Although I don't know your country, in mine, the internet connection is very good with some ISPs, it is better to opt for such services that will not disappoint you often when you do risky transactions like like betting. You might be browsing and betting with such internet providers for the whole year with only a very few issues since no service is perfect. If the internet service is good in my third-world country, how much more in most countries of the world where internet connection is very fast like the advanced countries?

Of course, such advanced countries are still not making the biggest money through gambling like every other person in other less-privileged countries despite their good internet connection, so the internet is not a party to their failure but for their lack of expertise, management and luck. Except for the few times that technical glitches may happen and this is not peculiar to any country, needless to say it can't be happening every time.

I think for the problem of internet connectivity interruptions it is a common thing that happens and indeed this is an unexpected possibility or that means we never know that there will be internet interruptions when we make bets, and obviously this will interfere with the course of the gambling session that we do, one of the adverse effects is that it is likely that you can be late to make a bet or click the button at the wrong time due to network interruptions that occur suddenly - suddenly.

This unexpected event can obviously make us lose opportunities even though we basically don't know whether the results of the bet end up winning or not, but I'm sure most people will agree that events like this are very annoying when we are late to make decisions just because of internet interference. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll want to make sure that you've got a stable internet network by checking before you play, nothing but for prevention, but for the problem of power outages I think this is an event that will not be tolerated, I've experienced it where when I bet suddenly there was a power outage that made the network in one area completely dead and it was annoying.

We can be playing bet sometimes and then we experience a seizure in the internet connectivity, such could last a minute or more and this will definitely affect the bet or game we are playing and such could in most cases cause us to lose the bet or in a rare conditions win the bet as well, but we can realized this that most of the live bets and virtual games needed all of these to be in place with a steady internet connectivity in other for us to enjoy playing bets and not to miss out on opportunity for winning.

I believe there are not several scenarios which could cause one to lose more from a bad internet connection or something. Though, there are games which indeed can depend much on the ping or reaction time of our internet connection, the easiest example would be Crash, if one has a bad internet connection with much lag, it could be translated to a delay of 2 or even 4 seconds in delay, such deviation in the time one has to take choice on whether to cash out or not could be the difference between taking money home or completely lose our wager.
It does not apply to other games, I think, I would not be worried about ping or input lag if I was playing dices or Plinko, since we all know the reaction time does not have anything to do with the outcome of our gambling, in crash it does, hence why one is supposed to be careful and only play crash if one has a very good internet connection and with a low pin.

There are casinos which offer data on ones lag while one is playing crash, gamblers are aware of their delay from the get go.

That's frustrating and it really happened, especially if you are in the place where internet connection is poor but gambling is a game of chance a high risk activities where you really can't tell when you will lose and when you will win, most of the time gambler only looking for someone or something to point their finger unable to accept losses and unable to move forward.

If you treat gambling as entertainment and you are just using spare money, I guess it's not hard to accept the outcome and you won't have the idea like this.

You just move forward and try back no one to blame especially your connection but take that enjoyment and think of a better strategy when you play back.

this internet issue is not a worldwide problem I think he is happening in some of African continent because out of yesterday I contacted my brother who is away concerning this network issue you told me that they are not having a network challenge so that is why I have to conclude that this network problem is happening in some of the African country like my country Nigeria we are having a network issue but it's not as the same to someone who is in Ghana country, and the other African countries that is around Nigerian country in Africa, I will say that Ghana internet issue is give you more issues than the one in my country because right now I can predict gambling which is the network I have within my environment but the thing is that it's not as strong as it was before

Mate, from me own internet connection, never had a drama, but fair dinkum, had heaps of dramas with the servers from heaps of providers when I'm having a crack at the pokies. And let me tell ya, these are all the big name providers, not a single exception. They all need to give their servers a fair go, 'cause once you've chucked a few too many spins, the games start lagging like a kangaroo in mud, and that's where these providers end up losing punters. Fair shake of the sauce bottle, they need to sort it out, pronto!

Glitches with internet connectivity can actually cause some one to lose or even get an accidental win because you may have in mind to make a different pick and it falls on a different option due to the Internet connectivity glitch and it may turn out you are lucky and you win while some other time it may turn out you are unlucky and you may not get to win that game, so either ways it could turn to favour you or be the reason for your losses especially on casinos games, it's important we check our convectivity before we play and if it's down, to avoid issues as this we should exit in the mean time.

But if you are ready to bear whatever the outcome is then you can proceed to still playing your games not minding the situation of the connectivity at that time. Experience gamblers can actually know how well to manage this but I don't know about newbie gamblers and it's best for them to wait till a clearer connectivity is gotten.

It happened to me yesterday, we are facing huge internet challenge that have disrupted various activities including those of big multinationals, banking and mobile phone operators. It is a total mess in my country right now and some other neighboring countries are not exempted. The internet connection is fluctuating haphazardly and very weak. Yesterday while placing my bet, I typed the amount and sent, then the network was frozen for a while as if it was not responding so I had to send it multiple times with getting the confirmation of bet being placed successfully. It was after the internet became a little stable I noticed that I had placed the same bet several times even to the point of exhausting my account balance. Unfortunately, one match cut the bet, that was how I lost my entire asset. It was painful but I had to accept it that way.

I have often stopped earning because of the internet connection, and that was something that had me on the verge of my patience, the problem began to be fixed when new ways to obtain the internet through arose in my country of companies with fiber optics, there the internet is quite fast, but currently there is another problem , the Electricity service outages are another serious problem that besieges, so with the electricity service outage the internet is interrupted, if I am on my mobile device it does not I am able to get coverage because that also fails, so because of this things are very stressful, which is why I had to buy a mini UPS so that when the electrical service fails I don't have to be running or something , but rather it can give me autonomy 6-8 hours with internet service, that's the only thing that makes me guarantee that you can have the benefit, but almost everything is a sacrifice and those things make you lose in a casino, something so simple but so important at the same time.

Sometimes the best things to enjoy are to have all the Tools available so that everything goes well, sometimes you have to Avoid losing money for these types of things.

Sometimes it does. I have once played a game that network was disturbing to the extent that i could no longer play it the same day. Later I discovered that the game played but due to the network issues, I was unable to play it. That was how I lost a game I was suppose to have win.

Due to this issue made me use external network booster like portable WI-Fi everywhere I go, in other not to have network issues. Not only in gambling but in general, expecially for BTT forum communication.

Websites with a strong base will rarely have problems with the number of users, occasionally there will be attacks from those jealous of their platform, there are still some connection problems but they will be quickly fixed and compensated, therefore, in cases that cannot be handled, one can only doubt the reliability of the casino website. In cases where the internet connection is not really as strong as usual, it is better to pause the game, trying to only exchange the inhibition, sometimes I feel like a weak connection is a good thing to help us temporarily take our eyes off of gambling

It sure does, Internet connection has really disrupt alot of online gamblers making them unable to access the sites and place bets but in the other hand it has nothing to do with offline gamblers that go to the casino to spin and all of that,but rather it has made it easier for them to access and also creating a chance for a win but to online gamblers the reverse is the case,sometimes it's more frustrating as the sites will be  telling you error in connection and issues of sort and might literally be from a bad location and at the end you end up loosing the game or bet.

Yes of course In the casino, we have all had good and bad days. However, for someone like me, who is just an average gambler, big moments like losing could be the worst experience ever. Especially when the losing continues indefinitely, like a chain. I can't believe I had to deal with losses when I was having a good day.

Well, I am not the only one who has suffered losses, but it has been an unforgettable experience for me because I used to win small to significant amounts but losing can be a terribly painful financial experience. It is no surprise that many people believe the casino always wins in the end. I cannot even get over the fact that I lost my money after promising myself that I would bet a large sum. Till a day when I stake my game I was almost losing there was a failure in network connectivity all the game stop at a time when the network go back I had a jackpot comarade it was one of the best day in my life inside the Casino it was actually awesome for me that very I won massively.............

If you can think this way then it's also possible that the slow internet connection can bring you luck too, I bet that if you win in this process of slow connectivity you won't tell anyone either, having a slow internet connection can be fixed, I am into online multiplayer games and I always test my speed before launching the game, I used speedtest.net to know if my connection is good or not.

This have never happened to me for once, and I do believe that even with 500 Mbps speed you won't still be a winner when gambling, faster internet doesn't make you a winner and so is a slower one too, either way you still need to be lucky.

You should fix your internet problem to avoid the sluggish result that you are getting because this will surely ruin your experience and entertainment, I just went from a 4G router to a 5G router and the difference is very big, coming from 30 to 50 Mbps to 500Mbps, it's massive.
