Topic: Is this a good advice? - page 11. (Read 1258 times)

It is partially true, the reason behind is that, the more a person play the more chance of hitting the jackpot.  If one person quit then he will not have a chance of hitting the jackpot.  It is as simple as that.


The gambler can have more chance of hitting what they aimed for if they spend more time in the casino but it does not mean that they will be in positive bankroll since they will suffer more losses the longer or the more frequent they are into gambling.


Gambling result is random and the longer and frequent stay to play does not guarantee that a person will win on his session.  So the one they told you is one of the fallacy of gambling.

Getting Jackpot in the gambling that we do, of course, this is a great hope for everyone who is involved in the world of gambling. However, this is something that cannot be expected, because to get the jackpot is more difficult than what we thought before.

In the event that you're looking to get a great deal in gambling, indeed we have to do it and it's fine, because after all we want to feel like what others get. as long as this is not done excessively. because Don't let it be because we are too ambitious to get a win, making us stupid because we continue to expect the win and leave what is your obligation and also job. And if what we are looking for is profit, then you are misplaced because gambling does not seem to give us profit at all, unless we are really lucky to get it.

This is not advice, but an obsession to cheer yourself up when an unfortunate situation occurs. The situation you described is when a gambler wants to stop when luck is not on their side, then adrenaline driven by positive hormones transfers to their mind to continue playing because they are almost close to winning the jackpot. This is a hallucination that has no basis, the Jackpot is a mystery in the game because no one will ever guess when they will get the jackpot.

Even though all gamblers are aware that the Jackpot is very possible to win, there is a 0.0% chance that it can be won in a game. The jackpot is luck and generosity on the part of the casino, they will randomly select different slot machines to entice gamblers to continue playing when one of them has won the Jackpot.

just ask yourself, is it worth it to spend all that money just to get a jackpot that you're not sure you'll get? and see how your financial condition is, is it getting worse? or how? so it all depends on you, whether you want to accept such advice or not at all.

but personally, it's better for me to step back than to continue something where i won't be sure whether i get it or not. it's true that many people say that it's too early for you to get out because maybe some other game you can get the jackpot. but i think logically because if i play too much i might destroy my finances in the future and that might have a more severe impact. so instead of that happening it's better for me to stop and try again some time in the future.

Technically, he is telling the truth because you are indeed increasing your chance of winning if you play more often because you will have more shot than casually playing but you can always win huge jackpot in few try but it all depends on luck. So if we use statistics then betting more often is really the best way to hit jackpot.

The only concern with this is how long can your bankroll last until you hit the jackpot. That’s why gambling should be use only for entertainment because we have limited bankroll and chasing jackpot is impossible to do with limited try.

When you are still gambling, you still have the opportunity to get it (Jackpot). However, winning in gambling is not something that we can predict with certainty that we will get a big win in the next game. A big win in gambling is something we can't predict, and being able to get that win is something we can't expect.
And the more often we gamble, the more often we will lose. So just keep playing naturally, don't be too ambitious about getting the jackpot, because when your luck comes, you will get it. Don't hope too much for something that we are not sure we will get.

It's sort of a joke but somehow there is a truth to it. I heard of the story of a man who kept coming back to the lottery booth every day same number combination hoping it would one day win. When the time he finally come to realize he isn't winning, that's the time his number combination comes up. He regretted he didn't go to the booth that day.

Like they say, quitters never win.  

Actively playing does not guarantee you will get the jackpot. The most important thing is luck. In fact, from my experience, I once hit the jackpot when I hadn't actively played for several weeks. The assumption that you will get the jackpot if you actively play cannot be a reference for anyone. Focus on your own abilities, don't let wrong advice bringing you to the bigger loss, and making you as a gamblers who can no longer control yourselves, expecially if you wants to quit to gambling.

I have heard gamblers make such statements but I believe that it is just a motivation not to quit gambling because your lucky day might be close. There are cases where gamblers quit gambling out of frustration due to constant losses. This saying is like an encouragement to keep gaming because quiting early is not an option.

Maybe this advice was misinterpreted because spending more time or money on casinos doesn't guarantee winning. Taking a break helps to improve concentration and also gives bettors the privilege to evaluate their gambling activity or experience.

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. This might be his own experience but this is not the correct position. Constant gambling might also lead to ceaseless losses. Gambling might not be favourable every time so there is always a need to follow a budget.

Your gambling view is correct. It shouldn't be seen as a source of income because it is unpredictable. It is possible to be rich gambling but we shouldn't rely on it to get rich because big wins come once in a while. I liked the question you asked him, at least it showed that his beliefs are invalid assumptions.

Definitely not. The outcome of each gamble is independent so quitting early doesn't increase your chances of winning the jackpot. It's a misconception known as the gambler's fallacy. Each game is a new event with its own odds.

Youre right about this, OP. Haha I mean its just basic to challenge the notion of consistent wealth through gambling because it can prompt reflection on its practicality. Just like your friend, he is aware of it but denying it. It's important to encourage responsible attitudes toward gambling and highlight the risks involved. Only bet what you can afford.

Lol what a savage you did to him.

Sometime they say it was a joke and don't need to take it seriously, however in this case I think seriousness is your character, that's why you answered him objectively and not answer it as a joke.

However there's a chance if he want to see you're lose a lot money as he might be a person who don't like other people is more successful than him.

That is merely a fallacy base on what they think is working for certain people but it is not a general agreement by gamblers. Maybe they have stayed longer and have won couple of times but no, it is not about constantly playing or consistently playing but how lucky you be in your bet.

There are people whose first time bet has brought to them winning that they never expected while there are also people that have played all through their lives without winning. This has happened in soccer bet where I know certain people who are talking of stopping gambling because they are not really making profit despite how much they bet. So it is not about how long you bet but how efficient your bet is in winning.

When someone says you are one step closer, ask them on how they have known that you are one step closer.

It is because that it is their bare opinion that you are near to win the jackpot but, there is no actual basis about it as they only want you to gamble more.

And so, if you are a gullible person and believes with those advises given to you then you are likely to lose more if you do not know how to have and execute your own decision.

It may have worked for them, but it's possible. Although, the risk is very high, as the problem with players who chase losses is this kind of advice. If it doesn't sit right with you, no need adhering to such an instruction. Though it's rare, I've experienced it myself. Also have read a thread on this section about a player that used this method to gain back all his lost that day in gambling. The disadvantage remains that the losses may continue until you lose all your funds. I think you should stop gambling when, within, you're done. Playing more out of the idea of others is at your own risk.


It's all about individual experience, nobody is expected to be like others in gambling. The concept is to reach our goal, why we are participating in games. Those chasing profits, still doesn't have a certain strategy to hit the jackpot. If not we all would have been playing more than we should to hit jackpot. Players still limit their gambling duration everyday and still achieve more wins. Therefore, no advice in gambling is irrelevant, anything works in gambling. It's now left for players to stick to the plan they think is best for them. Because whatever outcome the follows, the player would suffer it alone. Nobody would be there to help him on that. So, it's like a duty to be careful on the decisions we take. Other player's technique should be exclusively left for them to use, while we devise ours and play with it. Nothing is more painful like blaming some other person for our misfortune. It's better we blame our self.

It's possible to win the jackpot after few tries but the question is are you capable of risking that much money? How much are you making per week? If you can afford it then there is no problem, those who are advising other gamblers to keep gambling because their luck might be around the corner are doing it wrong, all gamblers are build differently, they should have completed the sentence with if you can afford to lose the money.

The reason why I gamble only when I have spare money is because of how much I am making per week, some times I don't have spare money for gambling and if my mind is all set on gambling there will be a problem, I won't be able to do some things that I normally do when I gamble less in a week.

If I start making more money per week then it will be easier for me to increase the rounds of my gambling in a week, because I am making more money, what you can afford to lose is what should do the talking, I hope those who took such advice know what they are doing.

It's not entirely a bad advice but honestly, this isn't an advice for every gamblers, they can easily take this advice in a wrong way, thinking they need to start throwing every penny they have at gambling because they don't know when their luck is closer.

What I often hear people say is that you won't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. A follow up to that would be the more you buy then the more chances of winning. It's not exactly the same but I think the same concept applies. Is it wrong for them to say that? Not really. You can win the jackpot with just one or a few tries since it's a game based on luck but the odds are most likely lower.

I haven't hard of this before and no gambler wants to advise the other to gamble more as long as perceiving that the next bet will be the jackpot and much also most of the time we look out for the fact that being too excessive will only lead to more loses and this has been the most acclaimed slogans in the market today.

So for sure, you shouldn't chase the jackpot to avoid a bad experience because the most important thing is to have some balance in your ratio of winning vs losing time.

It depends on the situation. If you are the type of gambler who knows the importance of bankroll management, most likely, this is applicable. If you are the type of gambler who bet an amount based on your emotion, the money you have will only be lost the longer you stay on betting.

That is part of regret that we're sharing to the ones that seems so close yet too far. It's like that we want to make someone into the entertainment that we want to have. But because of our incapacity and we're not having that much bankroll, when we're interested to someone who's gambling and we want to be a spectator. We tell that person that he/she is too close and that's the advice that those gamblers have that intention to see someone either keep going as they're fun to watch or usually someone that they just want to lose a lot of money. And very seldom someone who wants to see a gambler succeed and win with his bets.

And to those gamblers that have always received a tip whether they will proceed or not. You know yourselves, you know your capacity and how much you can afford to lose. Don't be too dependent to those people that you need to hear them out with anything they say. Because at the end of it, it's going to be your money that will be put into risk and whether it win or lose, the risk you're going to take from it is together with your money and not by the other gamblers that are telling you to do this or that.

We have different approaches to gambling. If you believe gambling is just for fun, then you should stick with that. That means you only have to gamble occasionally since you are not serious about gambling. On the other hand, those gamblers who aim to win in the long run will gamble more to gain experience, improve their skills, and increase their chances of winning the jackpot.

However, we should all have one common attitude, and that is to be disciplined while gambling and spend only what we can afford. While we may differ in strategy and the amount of bankroll, we are guided by the same principle to minimize the risk.
