Topic: Is this a good advice? - page 6. (Read 1395 times)

Its just a word presented but actually it doesn't have any relevance nor have real proof that we are really near to hit the jackpot if we stay long. This statement just confuse people to think about other possibility and convince them to stay. But in reality whatever things we do and how small the size we are using to bet if the jackpot is there we could totally hit it. We don't need to stay long with this since hitting a one time big time jackpot can happen in short period of time.

The answer regarding the question doesn't really have exact answer but rather people could just share their opinion base on scenarios they see or they encounter toward certain situations happened.

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".

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.

Funny, gamblers attribute a good day, as one where they got their most win. But, I wonder if a day passes when we don't lose bets. Such believe has frantically pushed some gamblers to make silly predictions. Hoping to see a win result, because it's their good day. Your idea of having plans as a gambler, regardless of the outcome of the game, is excellent. However, there is always a room for re strategizing our steps, whenever the initial plans isn't working out. It's quite better to run off with the profits, instead of wagering all the win at a go. At a given moment, we as gamblers are obliged to adore our wins, by taking profits. All the money is not meant for the house alone. Moving away with our profits, is also a self control. And not every gambler would be disciplined enough to withstand the pressure of trying again, after winning big. Whatever result that follows, lose or win, can ruin the fun of the initial win. If they lose they'll try again, to regain the lost money, and vice versa, to win more. 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.

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.

The danger in the advice that the person giving this advise may not be taking to consideration is the fact that continues gambling could turn out addiction and you will think you are still playing safe enough and yet to be addicted and before you will realize it , it may be too late.

If you are gambling for entertainment just like you rightly stated in your last statement, you most definitely do not have to gamble every day of the week and at times you get lucky even without much consistency, I doubt if maintaining consistency gambling is an edge necessary for gambling success because trying to be too consistent could turn out addiction so I Personally don see the advice as healthy enough but rather your concept of gambling is safer and better.

Of course it is sad because they seizes to realize that somedays you really have to repatriate, have some seat back gathering some energies to restrategise again after pointing out your errors. They are strictly unable to control their gambling emotions which they don't have thet looses the immunes to reinforce with a different strategies to boycott its familiar obstacles.
A situation of a same kind advising each other would make no Contrary, no difference because two wrongs can not make a right because they think the same.

You took the right decision disagreeing with him whereas you took the right ethics of gambling which demands the ability to "taking control of your emotions".
Although the more one sits on the gambling table is the more experience one is gained because learning is required "investment of time".

And to me, gambling majorly is aimed to gain profits or gets rich and rewards at when won is handed over at the moment of winning that is why I will agree it is a medium to quick enrichment and when you fails too you looses your funds as immediate time of lost which also offers medium to quick poverty.
The desires to win on the gambling table when you stake that demands your 100% attention isn't Worth a toying about so you definitely have to strive desperately to count fit win that is why it is my force "a must win" and besides... It is a set of competition between you and others which your efforts are triggered with all eagerness to take the wheel of winning.

Otherwise, there are certain person's who gambles for fun and doesn't mind if they wins or fails. These set of persons basically ain't so interested to take lead of winning but they just want to play the game maybe as a cause of some emotional breakdown to fix itself up or feelings the fun and vibes just to take challenge with no risk of loosing considered.

I never only expected the changed of mood but answer.
However, I will take that facially expression to be disappointed of himself because he preaches what he practices but all illusions.

He is experienced and skillful enough to take the wining table but absolutely... He has never been lucky to win.
This is all to say that it is not all about how long you spends on the gambling table but your lucky days and skills are most considered on your winning.

It is sometimes that one whom is watching behind that is not a pertaker in the ongoing game is visible enough to figure errors and has the thoughts on how to play the game and take the winning but when he steps -up on the gambling table, he seems to be adamantly lost and then those how previous knowledges may not be a helpful role to profer him winning but lost.

Not only gambling but also other aspect of anything should also be well planned before diving into it and if you attempt to under take anything that you want to memory to be worth the while then you must be able to have a prior understanding and planning at the same time,  so for such gambling is one of those things that need a lot of planning to stay at a safer side of things and avoiding any possible tragedy of events.

Much more also,  we have to be able to separate greed from planning when it comes to gambling since greed may push you to gamble more,  but can not end you up with anything significant.

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.

Well, I think those kinds of beliefs are mostly possessed by gamblers who don't have very deep experience with gambling. No matter if a gambler is old in the game, like if the person has been gambling for a very long time, if the person has that same sense of reasoning by making that statement that you have made, I would still say that the person is not a real gambler. Real gamblers know when to stop; they have self-principles that guide them; they don't gamble off the amount which will hurt their emotions. So why will someone think that the very moment they want to stop gambling is when they will have won big? That moment might even be when they experience their biggest loss, or it could also be a big win. It's not just certain, and that's what a real gambler must understand. Wining is not certain.

Many people promise themselves to start a new life from next Monday and this continues throughout their lives. Most of them have problems and they are well aware of it. And their problems may be related not only to gambling, but also to alcohol, smoking and other habits that interfere with their lives. Such people do not try to solve their problems and constantly postpone them for later, deceiving themselves. This happens because they lack the willpower to change or they do not see any other future for themselves. I believe that such people have psychological problems and need help.

It is a 'hope' that probably every gambler has believed in at some point in their gambling career. It is common not just among beginners but even among players who have been gambling for years. In my opinion, it is a good thing to rid oneself of such a mentality and start playing without the greatest hope of winning big after so many losses. After all, in gambling, we cannot be sure how the odds will turn out.

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.

You are actually right, it's easier to say such things as a piece of advice to people if you are not the one who's playing. The feeling that you are close to winning can be felt almost anytime you want, even if you just starting to gamble if you have a nice pair of cards in your hands, you would also think that you might hit the jackpot which is just a feeling at all. Plus they might really be giving such tips like that, for the reason that they are wanting for you to experience the same way they did which is literally sht, gambling is just a piece of pure luck and knowledge, you can't do such things for the winning hand to favor on you. You should stay away from people like that cause not only they are a bad influence, but they might just be using you like you said from referral bonuses, or asking for money like borrowing from you cause you are a fellow gambler.

In my point of view gambling is based on luck and chance and there is no surefire way to win. I understand that you do not agree with the idea of constantly gambling to win. Many people experienced that negativity from not knowing when to stop. It is important that you should have some limits or goals when you are gambling.
And your view about gambling as a entertainment that you pay is a good. I also think It is good to see gambling as a fun activity. And with fun if you are winning and getting some money so it is also a good option for you. And if you are playing and not winning so you can say it was a fun I was just playing for fun.

This is just a way for those who gamble to advise themselves and of course we have often heard how they experience defeat which has bad consequences for some people who are addicted. Still, why is this activity still a reason for them to make money and even though the basis is still luck which is greater. Not many people see gambling as a paid form of entertainment and not a quick way to get rich, but they are more likely to be lazy about working because they think that by gambling they can make money.

There is nothing wrong when gambling can be controlled by setting a sufficient budget for gambling, but when the budget runs out then stop continuing and make another budget the following month. Creating a gambling strategy like this is indeed difficult because we have to verify it first for other needs from the money we earn at work and almost few people are able to do that.

Maybe you were right that mate those rich gamblers didn't stop gamble till they will win a good amount of money but if a small time gambler which is not just a big time then for sure thier chance of winning still too low even though they they will always playing.  But we must always remember that everytime we put our bet we will win cause in the world of gambling it's all about luck and when we have our luck then we will win.

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.

@EarnOnVictor don't you think we are saying the same thing when you are still talking about still talking about control, caution or budgeting. I mean there are different gamblers, some are addicts who don't read any meaning to their day or to the games that they are playing while a normal player or random player has absolute control to his games and budget. That is the point, there is a sense in having great control of oneself and that is what matters to know when to continue and when to stop. I don't see any thing wrong by playing more without increasing your stake if you have won the previous bet, since you have the control to stop.

I've read this almost the same kind of mantra in achieving your dreams. While it could be applicable in gambling, it possess so many risks. In gambling, you should know when to continue and when to quit. It isn't enough that you have the means to bet and play. Money can run dry if you keep on spending it continuously without even assessing the situation whether you could have a profit, breakeven, or loss. It's important that you know how to analyze situations, when to bet more and when to stop and take a breather.

Having this kind of mindset which basically implies chasing winnings is a sure way to get bankrupt and get a headache. I wouldn't recommend it because a sane person will criticize the chances of winning and wouldn't be impulsive and careless.
