I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.

Is this true?

Yeah, I have heard it from addicted gamblers multiple times here in my country, that’s what they do use to motivate themselves to keep on gambling, but I can say that’s wrong. Even if you don’t give up on gambling, that doesn’t mean you are going to hit a jackpot. Most people that do give that advise have been gambling for a long period of time, and they haven’t hit any jackpots before, but they do encourage other people not to give up because they are one step closer to hitting the jackpot.
 
If you notice you have been losing too much money on gambling and you notice you are beginning to be addicted to gambling, it’s just better you give up and don’t think you will be hitting any jackpot. Having the belief that you will hit a jackpot one day is going to cause you to lose more money, and you might not hit any jackpot. Don’t be deceived by what people say.

I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.
Sounds very funny to me, how could it not?? because gambling is a challenge for someone to gain a profit or win without knowing when they will get it, and gambling is an activity where people who gamble must be willing to lose the money they have when defeat comes, then the risks of gambling are already known and There are still many people who do it, in other words they only care about profits, not losses. Therefore, people who are active in casinos, both old and new, cannot predict whether they will become rich or even poor in their lives.
Guess what, he hasn't won any jackpots. Hence, the change of his mood. People who are addict usually says this. Because they are unable to overcome their addiction. So they tell themselves, one more bet, one more bet, one more bet and I will surely win. Only to continue his gambling activity. He does knows it's not true but he is unable to. That's why he tries to convince him and those who around him that if you keep on trying, you will win. But did he actually won? I don't think so. If he did, he would have shouted I WON, I WONN, and show you some screenshots of his winnings.

This sentence is rarely uttered, but I confirm that gamblers who are actively playing often use the message not to stop because they are just a little away from reaching the maxwin or jackpot as motivation when the position is starting to lose.
Usually this advice will be said to close friends who usually play with him.

I will not confirm that this advice can be a way to win in gambling because in my opinion this advice can make players run out of money and assets in gambling. And like you said, there are no rich gamblers who are active even though they have the motivation not to stop.

It's bullshit that people who lose a lot of money believe in and not only don't admit it but want you to believe that they have a good system for winning at gambling. A question like the OP's is often the key to dismantling such bullshit and the fact that he changed his mood is a clear sign of that.

These is no backdoor or secret formulas or words that will ensure your winnings. So if anyone says to keep on trying and trying don't follow them.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Gambling is purely played based on luck. It's a luck game. If you were lucky you might win, if you don't you might loss. These is no backdoor or secret formulas or words that will ensure your winnings. So if anyone says to keep on trying and trying don't follow them. You are dooming your own life if you do this. Apart from luck, the most important thing in gambling is self control. To have to ability to know when to stop. To control your emotions, to not get drowned win them. Repulsive behavior is the root cause of all the problems.

Is this true?

This advice is actually making gamblers believe that they can win when they spend a lot of more time in the casino, they strongly believe that not stopping or taking break will bring them closer to their jackpot.

One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

Here I can say one thing if a person participates in gambling then it is possible for him to win the jackpot. And if a gambler does not participate in gambling then it is not possible for him to win the jackpot. Because how can he expect to win the jackpot if he does not participate in the bet. Jackpot is completely luck dependent. The person with the highest luck can win the jackpot.  Gambling is pure entertainment for me too. But here is one thing every gambler should keep in mind that no one gets addicted to gambling for the sake of winning the jackpot. Most gamblers become addicted to gambling due to excessive greed. So each of us will aim to not let excess greed consume us in taking up gambling as a pastime.

This is certainly not good advice and you ended up answering your question yourself.

If indeed the "secret to success" is to play constantly and often, we would have many bankrupt casinos. But what we see is exactly the opposite.... casinos encouraging people to always keep playing, whether with very eye-catching advertising or a magnificent bonus for those who keep playing more and more. However, what they want is one more opportunity to get back any victories you had, as we know that for those who play constantly the result can only be one: zero bankroll.

Casinos are a form of entertainment, where winning the jackpot is the secondary objective... the first is (or should be) to have fun.

Yes, I have heard when someone says that, but things can make them sound very close to winning something very big, but considering that a person gets carried away by emotions and impulses, I don't see it that way, that's why I always go to Emphasize that when it comes to how to cope with things in a casino it is Recommended that you only focus on what you could have done at that moment, perhaps if you had had money at that time to make that big bet, then you Would have lost Everything , because This is how it happens, there is no other way, you can say that things are very clear when talking about these things , I have seen many who have Written that type of things but at that moment a lot of emphasis can be placed on continuing doing what that a gambler in every casino can do, but in general it is not recommended that a person like that can come back with a lot of money, because he will lose it, in fact I would say that that person is on the verge of being an addict, so there is no to give a lot of importance.

In this order of ideas, a successful player does not complain about the opportunities he had and did not take advantage of them, the successful player tries to look for those Scenarios to take Advantage of them, not leaving this is the difference that exists in the players of this style, for That's when we are emphasizing the game's way , I am sure that this person does not have a limit of money willing to lose, but that everyone who has, everything is the money he disposes of without caring about the consequences that he also has, So these types of people have to be careful with what they believe or what they think , that is what you have to look at Before doing anything , Otherwise these types of people will always take control believing that they are about to win when In fact, they are falling into a total addiction, and it is dangerous, this is what should always be Considered , but come on, for me there is nothing Better than being a Responsible Player.

If it was the more consistent you play, the more closer you are to winning a jackpot, then all those who started gaming since 2010 should have all been millionaires by today, but the reverse is the case, and that alone proves that consistency is not the only factor to winning a jackpot, but other factors such as luck, your ability to analyze good game and e.t.c also plays a major role when thinking about winning a jackpot. Henceforth, I rather advise people to gamble with the least amount they can always afford to at that very moment, and stop chasing jackpot, as that's what comes once in either every 1000 or 10,000 game played. But I stand to be corrected on this.

Those are just part of gambling platform marketing strategies; they have to do anything within their power that could make someone stay with them and continue gambling, and that has been working for them.

Just like when you win a game on some gambling platform like SportyBet, you will see some congratulations message that comes together with the winning "which always states that you win more than 70-80% of other gamblers," making the gambler who just won a ticket's confidence increase, and they might be tempted to increase their wager amount.
 
It doesn't really matter if it works for the gamblers, as I believe most people might have a chance of winning if they continue playing. Why will some definitely continue losing until they have nothing left to play with? It's just for the person who is gambling to give himself that self-advice and stop when they can without taking advice from where the money is going.

I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.

When all is seemingly lost and hope, which is what man desperately clings onto when there is nothing left is quickly fading away, I would say this is what everyone tells themselves in a bid to retain whatever hope is left inside them and it’s not just with gambling.

If you can tell yourself and actually believe it, it can be motivating and encouraging but with gambling, it is not a good advice as you could also be a step away from bankruptcy while remaining foolishly hopeful about winning the jackpot.
When you can convince yourself about being just one step away from winning despite continuous losses, it’s clear you don’t know when to stop playing.
Yes, it's important to feed a sentiment of hope in life to keep persuing goals and maintaining your morale and optmism in high levels, however in gambling you can't be optimistic and hopeful on that level, otherwise you are going to compromise yourself financially.

Doesn't matter what the beliefs, mood and expectations of the gambler are, he must always stick with his initial planning and budget. Once the budget destined to gambling is over, he has to stop playing, even though the next bet has potential to guarantee him a jackpot prize.

If he has to win and such winnings are really near, as some claim, it will happen sooner or later on his next gambling session, without compromising his finances on the currently moment.

Gambling is very much dependent on luck especially when you play slot games and in the case of sportsbet winning depends a lot on skill.  And many people think that after losing for a long time in gambling they will win for sure so they bet very big amount and after every loss they keep increasing the gambling amount. This is a good strategy to recover gambling loss but for this it requires a big budget and taking steps like that budget. can help to do. And without a big budget, the balance will be exhausted at some point and all the funds will be lost instead of recovering the losses.

And that's what casinos want from their players, all casinos provide paid games of course to generate profits for their own casinos so they expect everyone to spend a lot of money in their casinos. Even if we get a win, there will definitely be a sense of wanting to get a bigger win and this is what the casino wants with people who continue gambling when they win so that they can take back the winnings obtained by the player, and this has indeed happened with many gamblers who are driven by greed to pursue bigger wins and in the end the casino gives the end with defeat to those who continue gambling.

Obviously they should be aware of the gambling that will spend a lot of time and mainly their money, because the losses will be a lot to get instead of the victory they will get easily.
Gamblers who have won definitely want to get bigger wins, so they want to continue gambling and chase their winnings. Unfortunately, the casino already knows the greed of the gamblers and provides a way for the greedy gamblers to try it, and apparently, luck is off the side of the greedy gamblers, and they end up taking all the winnings. That is the advantage that the casinos get. They don't need anything to get that profit and wait for the greedy gamblers to fall into the hole they dug because they were too eager for even bigger wins. Gamblers should be aware that what they are doing is wrong and not try to chase bigger wins, especially when they have already won a certain amount of money.

They must realize that they are lucky gamblers because not many gamblers can get lucky and win some money. Therefore, if one day we win a lot of money, we must immediately leave the casino and withdraw the money so we can enjoy the winnings. We must not be greedy gamblers who only want to chase another big win that will not be easy to get.

The decision all depends on the gambler, who knows what strategy is best for them? but the most concern is on risk management. Added with money management. We endeavor to stay happy, while and after gambling. When we don't care about our happiness, all because of more money. It affects the gambler, if he losses all his bank in one gambling session. Which is a waste of wealth, on the gamblers end. Hence, the budgetary limit is crucial and we can enforce it by not going to gamble with our cards. The thrill can be deceitful, it's aim is to demand for more money, to remain excited. The hardest part of the thrill, when it end, is going home with nothing to show.
Very common reaction eh? People would really be loving to hear out some advises specially if it talks about on making money. They do gamble out because they are aiming for more
winnings on which we know that in gambling field where luck is really that most important thing that we are really that wanting or need to have.
If you do take someones advise on playing or keep on playing on chasing those wins then its a bad idea for you to follow on because it would really be just that making
you desperate and this is something that we must avoid in the first place.Play according into your own mood and preference on which gambling is really just that
indeed for leisure because if you do able to deal up with it on other means or intent then this is where errors do happen.

And because our luck isn't same with that of the advisor, the player shouldn't do what doesn't work for him. The money is the goal for many, that's why they can easily be swayed from one strategy to another, seeking for whats works like it's SEO. Anything can work in gambling, but not for everybody. What made you to win, can't help me to win. Except it's sports gambling, copying of predictions is allowed. But, for other types of gambling, it's wrong to follow your strategy, especially in slot games. Chasing losses is wrong for any gambler, especially for those whom such strategy doesn't work out for, while gambling. A gambler who is scared of trying again, can follow his instinct and stop gambling. Yet, if he thinks more wins would result out of his bravery decision of playing more, he's allowed to hit another start button. If they'll take the responsibility of the losses, then it's fine. Op shouldn't go for his friend's advise for the regular issue of having to blame them when he gets a worse experience from same idea that spices the days of his friends. Human nature love shifting responsibility and blaming others. Hence, if a gambler wants to be bittered the most, he should confide by the strategies of his mates. It's simple to get over the loss our decisions caused, but not simpler to forget when the fault is from our friends. To be on a safer relationship status with others, we can mind our business; devise our strategies and play according to the mood of the day directs us.

Because it's actually true when it comes to online gambling.
Say you bet on Plinko only once, are the chances to hit an x420 to x1000 that high for you to receive it in one bet? That will be absurd and gambling sites will lose their business if this happens.
They want you to keep playing which is why the percentage to hit the x1000 is 0.000.. something. If someone could hit that with just one ball then I doubt many gamblers will keep on playing almost half of their lives.
That's not how percentage and probability works, it doesn't work like a queue where you sift through enough in the queue then you will end up getting the jackpot, I think that it's best to quote Dr. Who in here to explain probability.

What the friend of OP said to him is true, it is a fact but should not be advised to anyone. We don't want any person to become a gambling addict just because of this one advice that we regret someday if we see our friend having trouble where to get their money back because there's no way it can be done unless we loan them some money.
In my case, I usually get a jackpot if I am losing for like x200 - x300 which means I have to divide my capital on that number before I start my autobet.
That's where you're wrong, that's not a fact but a fallacy most likely, have you heard of Gambler's Fallacy? It's when the person believes that there's a hidden pattern in something that's completely random but they still go for it because it's better to believe the fallacy rather than accept it.

One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.


Most of these "99% of gamblers quit before hitting the jackpot" are nothing more than a meme to poke fun at gamblers who are off the deep end. Cause at the end of the day this is literally what gets them going. The idea that they only need one more bet to finally get their big break and earn stupendous amounts of money in the process is what keeps them alive, and while to regular people, this may seem absurd and stupid even, to addicted gamblers this is sound advice.

So your question being, "is this good advice", the answer is subjectively objective. It's wrong if you're still thinking with your brains, it's right if you're addicted so much to gambling you'd literally take any advice that goes in favor of your vice.

I understand what you mean here, basically every gambler, especially those who are addicted, they have their own mindset and beliefs, losing is not the end of the world for them, and they consider that it is a sacrifice of their struggle for greater victory. Although it's a little silly haha but it doesn't matter, I won't interfere with their affairs especially when it comes to their different beliefs. And it is true that they have their own idea that even though they always lose but they remain firm on their own idea that "one more try looks like I will win", on the other hand that is what makes gambling addicts suffer from many large losses.

On the other hand gambling addicts will only listen to some negative advice that they think is a good alternative to be able to get closer or increase their chances of winning faster, like you said, "one more bet and you are likely to win", but the problem is that gamblers who are already addicted they cannot consider or see which is better in common sense, they will only agree with someone who gives advice to further exacerbate or deepen their gambling involvement.

I must say that anyone who tells you that the more you gamble, the closer you are to your jackpot does not really know what they are telling you. You asked your friend a good question, though, and that was very smart of you. I believe the question took a down tone on him, making him rethink his gambling life and what he has just asked you in person. Most times, people just say things to promote their brand without thinking of the repercussions. They must know what they are doing and get at you just to join them and become addicts, and I must say that your friend did that so you could give in to his casino and become a gambler with his casino while earning a referral bonus from you if I am not mistaken.
That's true because they want to see us experience more and more losses by continuing to gamble. They actually don't want to see us win, so they tempt us to continue gambling. They or even we can indeed win from gambling, but the problem is, we and they will not know when we can win. We may only be able to continue gambling, but we have to control ourselves so that we don't experience too many losses. It won't be worth doing, especially if we use more money than before. And if you gamble too often, it can make you addicted to gambling, and maybe when you change your goals, the gambling addiction will actually come. Those who spend more time in the casino will not be closer to winning, but they may be closer to losing. If they remain unaware, they will regret it once they know the truth. So pay attention to yourself and always limit your gambling activities rather than experiencing a gambling addiction.

And that's what casinos want from their players, all casinos provide paid games of course to generate profits for their own casinos so they expect everyone to spend a lot of money in their casinos. Even if we get a win, there will definitely be a sense of wanting to get a bigger win and this is what the casino wants with people who continue gambling when they win so that they can take back the winnings obtained by the player, and this has indeed happened with many gamblers who are driven by greed to pursue bigger wins and in the end the casino gives the end with defeat to those who continue gambling.

Obviously they should be aware of the gambling that will spend a lot of time and mainly their money, because the losses will be a lot to get instead of the victory they will get easily.

It is normal that casinos are all after profit because they are profit-making ventures, so in that case, they have their organization to maintain and staff to pay and would go to any extent to make profit either way so as to keep the casino running. You, as a gambler, should know that as well. When it comes to winning, it is nice to be able to control their greed to win more because when that thought comes in, you are liable to lose more than you could imagine because you would not get it easy this time around as the casino would at all costs put an eye on your account to make sure they see to the end. It is best that you apply caution and self-restraint at this point of victory otherwise it would turn south for you.

Yes indeed because basically they also set up casinos to make huge profits, by attracting everyone to play in their casinos and pulling them deeper and deeper to spend all their money gambling, if they don't have good self-control then they will experience this, and also many have become victims of casinos because they themselves cannot control themselves properly. The fault here is not in the casino, but from themselves, if only they can control themselves, they can definitely limit their gambling by not spending their money in gambling.

The advice you said was well received, even though I am not a gambling addict, but other people should also know about what you said, that way they will not or at least be able to avoid gambling addiction, because those who gamble are very vulnerable to becoming addicted to gambling and experiencing bad things that harm them.

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.
Now this is what I am more familiar although I hear this not being used in the context of gambling but more on risk you take in life in general. The follow up I've been familiar of it in a way because I've heard it being used back then in a TV ad back then where they give away a million in Philippine peso if you join their raffle game where you put in as much entry as possible so you get higher chances of winning. Now regarding what OP is describing, I can somehow understand where these gamblers who scold him about quitting too early, they think that if you play more, you will eventually hit the jackpot, maybe they've experienced this before so they think that it's true but in reality it's most likely just a coincidence and they don't know how to explain what just happened to them. If I was given that advice, I'd probably just shrug it off and say something snarky and a bit self-depreciating like "I am not as lucky as you are".
Because it's actually true when it comes to online gambling.
Say you bet on Plinko only once, are the chances to hit an x420 to x1000 that high for you to receive it in one bet? That will be absurd and gambling sites will lose their business if this happens.
