Topic: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun - page 9. (Read 1037 times)

I think it's a good thing that you're doing that and I think that it's the normal thing to happen with curiosity when it comes to new games, you're still figuring how things work and losing is the fastest way to know how things work. Maybe watching some tutorials on how the game works might be able to work but I don't think it's going to be the first thing that a gambler would think when there's a new game to try out, they will just dive right in and learn while playing.

These are newbie mistakes but you will eventually look for methods, guides, and patterns as you move forward, especially if you're serious about making money in gambling or have a fair chance in gambling.
It's the human instinct when we are trying to look for an effective way to keep our bankroll, even if friends or other people advise us that gambling is just for fun, it is human motivation that we search, for and explore various ways to conquer things.
This is why so many methods and patterns are introduced or created and gamblers keep innovating or even go to the point of cheating just to have a chance to beat the house, even though it has been proven that the house always wins.

I also often try games that I don't understand just because I'm curious, that's why I often lose money when gambling that I don't know how to play, that's why I try to slowly learn how to play until I understand how to play the game even though I have to lose some money. To be able to understand it, this should be used as a reference for casinos to provide demo games for all new users to try the game without having to waste real money just to learn.

Well, I think its a common thing, or its a common knowledge that if you don't know something then don't engage to it especially if it will cost you something, and of course it applies in gambling, I understand maybe you got excited about the casino game and its a bit easy just seeing but its not, you will need an idea, knowledge and knowing the rules is very important so that you will know where you will place your bet or do you think it is right to place your bet in this place or not, well what you've done is a common mistake of a beginner in a particular casino games but it can also serves as wake up call or realization for a gambler to analyze the games first and become too careful for its next bet or play, the important is you know what you've done and you learned from it.

True, the first step should be to understand how the game works, because obviously if we are new people who do not know how to start the game or mean not understanding how to play on some games that you are new to then obviously things that can encourage losses are very likely to do, like there is one of my friends who has just gambled on the type of pure luck gambling, he did not understand all the control features in the game, so what happened was that he forgot to set or lower the multiplier in the game so that the money he deposited ran out in just a few minutes.

Of course ignorance and not understanding all the features or displays in the game will make you waste money in vain, and usually it makes you finish the session faster with disappointing results. I think this kind of thing can also make someone more aggressive to continue playing and re-depositing due to unstoppable frustration because of the mistakes he made that made the session run very short, but sometimes it also depends on how the person is dealing with gambling, if he comes only for entertainment then I think it is unlikely to feel significant frustration.

I wish there are more simple ways for casinos to give tutorials or better still a way they can provide a dummy features on their platform to allow people train on how to gamble the games they have as free mode without using any money or perhaps a virtual money just like we do have in trading but they are after ways for you to lose and I don't blame them though, they don't have time to tell you what to do but to guide you where to place money so you could 50/50 with your money. Sorry for your loss but try again next time.


Sorry but casinos don't don't have such time to provide a demo mode but maybe you should try this instead. I'm not sure for the IOS app store, Google store has plenty of games related to most of the gambling games like the dice, blackjack and many more, download them and test them to see if it's worth but just know that the outcomes might not be the same as that of the real.casinoa that involves money.


I can't say for casino but I have experience multiple losses in a row and that did painful but I don't feel much, not like I'm betting with my last card, just small money and hope on the outcome, if it's comes fine and if doesn't, I take some break and try the next time.

Well Roulette has many different options,you can bet on red or black,from 1-12,13-24.25-36 and on 0 are some of them which you can play.Of course it is always better to prepare yourself,when I used to play slots I did not start right away,I always used to hit the I button standing for information regarding that slot.The same I did when I started sport betting with the Asian handicap lines which were really difficult to understand at first,so I never suggest going full strength without knowing the rules of a specific game,it is always better to be prepared in anything you are playing,kinda like in Poker which you need to learn different variants before you start playing confidently.

I understand what you've gone through; a lot of us have been in comparable circumstances. First of all, there is no denying the link between ignorance and gambling loss. We enter a maze like a blind person when we play games like roulette without knowing the chances and methods. Your story brings to light an important point: preparedness is necessary. For novices, the demo option is invaluable since it combines theory and practice without taking any chances.

You give new gamblers excellent tips. Its important to increase the entertainment value in addition to cutting losses. Gambling ought to be enjoyable, a thrilling blend of ability and luck. Every spin turns from being a shot in the dark to an exciting moment when we grasp the rules of the game. Finally, admitting your inexperience is the first step to becoming a shrewd player - its not a sign of weakness.

I won't deny it, but I've also lost money in gambling/casino
One of the reasons this happened was a lack of knowledge and experience, but day after day I gained knowledge and understood how some casino/gambling games work and I share that this is one of the most important factors that a person needs to know...it's knowledge and understanding how casino games work

Another important variable is greed, you need to know when to stop, even when you are winning and also losing, that is, you need to manage your gains and losses, because if you lost money and keep in mind that you will want to recover that loss, most of the time this will only make the situation worse and you will be acting with emotion instead of your reason.

How much are you losing? This is all that matters, if a newbie decide to start gambling right now and he risk a dollar how can this be seen as a big loss? I am sure that such person will have great time with the game instead of panicking or feeling sad that they lose money.

If you want to gamble without having any knowledge you can still get it done, that's not the most important thing with gambling, the important thing is to go your lowest when gaming, because it's a confirmed fact that gambling is a huge risk of money and you have been guaranteed to lose money, so risk very little amount then you won't have a sad stories to tell.

You can easily apply some knowledge if you start as a newbie, it's true that we play anyhow when we are new to the game but after we start trying out something new, mind you, what you risk on every games is what matters, care less about any other than this.

Most novice gamblers have experiences like you have. Their ignorance makes them experience losses that waste all their deposit money and makes them curious so they want to return to the casino for revenge. Behind the novice gambler who loses, there is a novice gambler who wins and that is gambling. Maybe you lost today, but who knows, tomorrow you could win and you need to gamble enough so that you don't lose too much.

Beginner gamblers can use the demo feature as a learning tool to find out how to play the gambling game. But you don't need to be surprised if you win more often when you play demo mode, but when you use real mode, you will lose more often.

If there's a proven pattern in luck-based games to gain profit then no casino will exist, it's enough to know how a game works but looking for a pattern not to lose is something that does not exist, sure there are methods but these methods are not proven and still based on how a user play the game and do a variation of the method, don't force your way to win in luck-based games or you will be disappointed just enjoy playing don't come looking for a win it will just come and when it comes come out with the best decision, if you want to stop and withdraw or continue playing and allocate a portion for cashout.

The ignorance and mistakes you make in gambling will definitely give you a lot of experience and knowledge later, as you write this thread sharing your experience that you think you don't really know how to play roulette, you only play it once maybe if you play it many times you would enjoy the game and learn even more it's just that you stop to avoid losing money unnecessarily so you stop and realize it. It's also good not to be careless in gambling.

Everyone must have the same experience as you, but you forget that there are games that are much easier to understand besides roulette, for example slots, without you needing to learn, you will understand how to play, if you are still too new to playing roulette, you should use the demo game. available there, but to be honest, not many casinos provide demo games on their sites, even though it is important for people to learn first before playing, but that's the concept, casinos don't want you to study too long, they expect you to make a deposit and play with your ignorance. that, but BTW actually it's just about luck, maybe you're not lucky, try again later 

In some scenarios, the gambler, despite having little or no knowledge of gambling will still gamble and win. Gambling can be called a lucky game because even inexperienced people can come for the first time and win. The way the gambling house operates can't be predicted, that's the main part of gambling people need to consider. However, highly experienced gamblers with lots of skills and strategies still lose out in their gambling predictions, after spending so many hours and time on gambling. Hence the knowledge we gain about a specific game matters in the long run, but doesn't make much sense compared to the results we get in gambling. However in games like the black roulette game, you also need some experience to win, due to the way the game is programmed. It's hard to predict a single number out of all the 38 pockets present in the table. But, taking the risk is worth it, for some, as the returns are always high and big in number.

Regardless of the amount of money you wager, the win will be significant compared to the other methods used to increase your chances of winning in gambling. Next time, Op, if you may, try to choose the larger boxes consisting of the color red or black. It's easier to win, predicting that the ball stops on any red or black pocket. Sometimes choosing some number interval also helps us to win in black roulette games. But, whatever you do, use a small amount to play black roulette chasing losses in the game doesn't provide enough possibility of winning. It's also worth noting that 0t3p0t is right with his idea of being a responsive gambler, not rushing your decisions, closely observing the moves of the ball, it's a simple game and requires strong predicting skill at some point to win big using black roulette. Playing demo is a great means of learning black roulette games, but don't be deceived by the wins you see while playing demo. Don't allow it to push you to gamble prematurely on the main game.

The first time I gambled with roulette which is actually my best casino game, I understood all that I should know without the demo or fun mode.

Assuming you have number from 1 to 30. You can select 1 to 15 or 26 to 30 to have more chance to win but with lower odd
You can choose from 1 to 10, 11 to 20 or 21 to 30. The odd will be more but the chance of winning reduces.
The first odd is when you choose a single number, but the chance is very low.
There are many other options but I think they are not difficult to know.

Know that all casino games are risky, do not use more than the money that you can afford to lose to gamble. It might be what affected you and think it was because you did not understand the game.

Knowledge is very important for anything in life and without it, mistakes are bound to happen. Gambling is no exception to this general rule. Even though a lot of people believe gambling is all about luck, I do believe that luck is just part of what it takes to be successful in gambling. Besides, expertise that can be developed in gamnling is not gotten by luck but through proper application of knowledge.

Your experience is a good demonstration of the importance of knowledge in gambling. Some of those losses would have actually been prevented assuming you had proper knowledge of roulette.


I have experienced it many times in different gambles. Most of the local casinos in my city do not really have proper guide on how to gamble, we relied on friends for guide and we learnt while playing. This came with series of avoidable losses.

Not really no? In your case you could be rather lucky with some hits and at that point wouldn't your mindset totally go opposite of what you think now? Sure, understanding roulette could've given you the chance to pick choices with higher odds, but at the end of the day the game is based on luck. No matter the choice or knowledge, it's still luck that plays into the game and nothing else.

If it were something dumb like having no idea how to differentiate between increasing bets and some other option and the monkey brain decided to go all in without knowing that he did then maybe, but fundamentals of the game? This ain't skill based, it's luck.

I agree that it reduces fun when we are lack of proper knowledge in gambling.  It is important to know how casino games work and should be observed to find helpful tips or even tricks to increase the odds of winning. It is also worth noting that casino games depends on our luck and superstitious beliefs won't work with it. The only way we can lower the loss is to put a limit on each bets. Being a responsible gambler is a must and should be taken into account in each and every one of us who gamble.

Ignorance on what exactly? I still don't understand how not doing the demo or learning basics how to play would change the outcome of your first try. It probably would not have made much difference to the result of your spins since the game is based purely on luck. For sure there are martingales or other betting amount strategy but that would probably work if you have a bigger bankroll.

Understanding how games work is very important for every game, but there are some which are very evidently dependent on luck and not skill or expertise. Knowing how to navigate such games does not protect one from loss or give an advantage.

I use such games as a fun activity and not as a means of earning through gambling.
