I don't think it was a mistake but because your luck didn't come at that time, you thought it was because of your mistake. But in particular, accidentally clicking the bet max button is your fault. Maybe because you were in a hurry or thinking of something else, you didn't double check everything and pressed the button right away. For that one, I also often experience it in slot games and I intend to choose a small bet but in reality, I instead choose a bigger bet and lose. Well, we just have to be careful when playing gambling and always ensure everything is in order before we press the button.

I also have a same experience, but luckily I double of my money because of my mistake, after that I stop to gamble and cash out my winning to enjoy my day. But most of the times I keep losing and that's has been expected because of house edge. Gambling for long surely will make your money lose and almost has no chance to make money, while bet in bigger amount has a chance to make money.

I don't know why people think that there are more chances of winning when you bet with higher amounts while it is nothing more than a myth, the generated results are totally random and it has nothing to do with what you are betting with unless the casino is a scam and the games are rigged and there is not proper random number generator in use, but that barely happens and most of the platforms do use proper random number generators.

So your chances of winning or losing in gambling aren't dependent on how big or small your bets are, but it is totally dependent on your luck and whether you will win or lose. The only difference a bigger bet can make is that you will get more profit if you win a bet, other than that, it doesn't have any effect.

For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.

Probably keep gambling as everyone said. I have reached quite high levels in my gambling career before, more money than I could have dreamed earning at some times, and still kept on gambling. That's probably all our mistake, we do not know when to stop. To be fair, if I have withdrawn that money, eventually I would have lost it back again one day, but at least I could have used it for something good at the time.

I remember very clearly during upcoming period to my wedding, I gambled a good chunk of money because I was getting a lot for everything that was costing so much, so I had a little extra, gambled 200 dollars I entered into as high as 22 thousand and kept on betting more and more which resulted with losing all of it.

I have done many mistakes that prevented me from winning big amounts, the worst one was a zero bet on 10000x limbo multi while I was trying to bet $3. The last misclick happened 3 months ago, I accidentally clicked the max bet button next to the double button on the gambling website, and ofc the result was 0.2x on plinko. Such things can happen, what we can do is to be careful and enjoy gambling as a fun activity while hoping for the best. Just my 2 cents.

Apart from that, I think it's still the person's fault, but I say it was someone's careless mistake when they wanted to start the game, and not a mistake that was entirely due to the luck factor. in gambling. To be honest, I also feel what you feel, because I wasn't careful when I wanted to start the game, and I think everyone who is active in gambling will also feel the same way. It hurts quite a bit when they forget to change the amount of the bet in the game so that when luck is not on their side the game will only run for a while because the bet value is too big they forget to change, and for now when I want to gamble there are many things I pay attention to first, one of the most important is the nominal bet which sometimes changes itself to the initial setting.

So, you're putting the responsibility entirely on the gambler, eh? Fair enough; personal accountability is paramount. But hold on... shouldn't we consider the design of these platforms as well?

Their interfaces are not always user-friendly, leading to these so-called "careless" mistakes. The platforms should be faulted for such design flaws. Why are the betting amounts not more apparent or prompts not implemented to confirm big bets?

Your pain of forgetting to change the bet resonates with many, and I argue it's not entirely the fault of the gambler. Instead, a more interactive and intuitive design could drastically reduce such costly errors. So, here's a call to all gambling platforms: Level up your user experience!

In reality, when we lose in gambling, our mistakes are reflected. Mistakes can happen for various reasons in gambling. As gambling is played by human It is normal to make mistakes if you conduct gambling for a long period of time. There is no person who has gambled but has not made a mistake. I think every gambler makes a mistake at some point. Some time I lost a lot of money due to my carelessness in gambling. Sometimes I have made simple mistakes that have been a big hindrance to my victory, and later I regretted it a lot. Indifference made me lose money rather than win big so I tried to correct my mistakes.

Yes, it's someone's carelessness when he wants to play and doesn't check the bet before pressing the button. Yes, maybe many gamblers have had the same experience as him and I think that is a normal thing that we experience. And that makes us careful and always check the number of bets we want. And if we feel that the bet amount is too high or not what we want, we can still change it before pressing the button. But some gamblers get lucky because of their carelessness and I can only say that they were lucky because they managed to get that big win.

Carelessness that invites luck, who wouldn't want that. For example in slot games for example, they immediately play carelessly so that they place high bets, but they get lucky by getting a scatter right away, Lol, I look forward to that.
But what I experienced was the opposite, when I placed a high bet and didn't get anything, then I lowered the bet amount and when I pressed the first spin button I immediately got a scatter, Lol I know maybe the bet amount is what I should get, but sometimes I feel sorry too because I didn't get it when the bet was high.

Gambling for long surely will make your money lose and almost has no chance to make money, while bet in bigger amount has a chance to make money.

You are really lucky because you managed to double your money from your mistakes and very rarely gamblers could get their luck because of their mistakes too. The average gambler will only get lost because of his mistakes and will regret it because he has lost money that shouldn't have been lost at the gambling table. Gambling for a long time will stress you out, especially if you experience a losing streak. It can cause you to want to use more money to recover your losses. But it's also not easy to get.

Both are game of luck, the difference might be the gambler's way of betting but along the way the outcome are mostly the same, you'll lose your money if luck is not with you, like what you said, house edge is part of the advantage from the casino after that you will need to handle your emotions and that's affecting most of the time, greed and aggressiveness two things that hard to control when you are involved with gambling, though there are experienced gamblers who can manage part of it but not every time, chances that they also exceed and be moved by their emotion still possible to happen.

There are incidents that they also experienced that same mistake. Instead of letting that mistake, they tried to cover it as they are being pushed by that adrenaline and the outcome is not in their favor.

Such mistakes can be very infuriating as sometimes they are not really your fault and instead it was the mouse or your keyboard the ones that failed at that critical moment and yet you are the one that has to suffer the consequences of such failure, another factor is that once you have been doing something for some time you no longer put to it the same level of attention, so if you have been gambling for hours it is way more likely that you could miss a click and use the wrong multiplier or make a bet you never intended on making.

Quote from: Sim_card on July 19, 2023, 07:39:21 AM

As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

I'm guessing it was sportybet you played this game if I'm right, they are one of the few sport betting platforms that gives cashout options prior to the completion of the matches selected on the ticket but let me tell you something, you made the right right choice and call, there is nothing to feel remorse about, it possible that the ticket might went well and all could go wrong and I very confident that your first intention was to win every match that's why even the last two were included, nobody made the selection, you did and you should be happy about it, next one will favor you.

You are even lucky you still had 2 games for cashout option, I have had several last match on my ticket with mouth watering cashout offer and I didn't cashout, reason is that I have did similar cashout in the past and the games came at the end, that's why I don't do buy into cashout again because the sportbets are doing to avoid paying much to the players/gamblers.

And also on other days, i saw my sport bet is almost won with a 90+ minutes, and I went and doubled chance the game thinking I am smart and in the last minute, the other team scored and that is how I lost both bets at the same time

Greed will not escape in us, thinking the team will win at the end and then you increase the betting odds on the fact that the team is different and loses all bets by thinking it will win, it makes us angry at the decisions made.

Now I can slightly prevent to lose a lot in betting, usually do not do parlay bets more to single bet for me there is still enough opportunity than parlay, but do not deny if the mind is positive on my prediction then I will do parlay too.

Those assumptions would really be that common in our mind specially when dealing up with betting on which we do really presume out that it might really be able to push through specially when we are almost midway

on our betting line on which we do assume that it might push through and we are really that highly attracted into those potential winnings on which it would really be triggering out that kind of pushing out ourselves on betting further and this is why we do really end up on bad decisions on which it would really be causing for us to regret in the end or really that prevent on having those big winnings but well this is gambling at all
on which you would be needing on risking or betting on something for you to gain something which this had been always the case.

If you cant really be able to bare out with the risks involved with gambling then you shouldnt have gambled in the first place. Its a matter of risks taking because on the time that
you are on a winning position then it is really that a true challenge on how you would be stopping midway.

Gambling is not a losing game or a waste of time to any body except for those who have chosen it to be so for them, gambling is supposed to be a form of entertainment, but then, its rather not too fortunate that most of the gamblers we have today are not seeing it as such, but rather have taken gambling as another means of making money, and this is where the problems all starts from.

For that person who decide to see gambling exactly as what it should be(A form of entertainment), such person will hardly have issues with addiction or any form of compulsive gambling, but the moment the desire for winnings, that is making money becomes the number one priority of the gambler, this is when issues start arising most especially when the winnings are not forth coming.

I generally agree with you, but isn't it also a question of what else somebody could do for entertainment while improving life at least as much as gambling does? What if somebody instead of gambling takes the money and books an adventurous vacation, maybe gets to know new people and maybe even learns a new language? Yes it is about preference and some people would still say that gambling is more joy to them than a vacation, but can that really be true? The line is so fine and rarely do people really know whether they are entertaining themselves or whether there is some force at work that makes the prefer gambling over traveling. Traveling is just one example, but I guess you understand what I am trying to say here.

This is where money management comes into play. If you have allocated a certain amount to bet on each game, even if you have lost the bet on two games, you would still be in profit. The mistake that most of the gamblers make, is that they have no plan and they do not know how much they can risk in each game.

The self-control factor for managing the amount of loss is indeed very important, and it is the only thing that can help a person not to fall too low. However, it cannot be denied and it seems that it is commonplace that they will forget everything while in the round of the game. There are no controlling factors whatsoever, there are only thoughts about the hope of victory, in fact they will do everything they can to get that victory.

Quote from: virasog on July 19, 2023, 09:41:26 AM

Money management is important in gambling as it will not only help you retain your profits but at the same time it will help you to minimize the loss. Emotions won't come into play if we strictly follow money management principles.

I would honestly say that there isn't a single step they can take to reduce their losing rate except the self control factor or as you mentioned money management. But it is commonplace that in the end they will forget the things they have prepared beforehand, we must realize that when someone gambles it means they are in a semi-conscious state and why someone sinks too far into gambling is because they are playing on the subconscious so they forget everything they have prepared before. This is a fact that happened because to be honest I am a gambler myself and I feel it all.

This goes both ways. Mistakes that prevented our big wins are also prevented our big losses. In the past, I experienced such events too but I was also grateful sometimes that I didn't wager more on some of my losing bets. I think what you describe wasn't a mistake because you didn't know the outcome of the game before it happened. You didn't want to take more risk for a reason: You could have lost that money. In hindsight, you are saying to yourself "I should have wagered more" but it wasn't all crystal clear before the game played.

Regardless of the outcome we have to be thankful for the reality because as you rightly said, the mistake that prevented your big win can also save you from a big loss and almost all of us have experienced that in the past, because there was a time that i made a bet and i was given a cash out which i refused to take and at the end i won the game hard it been i cashed out i could have not won my desired amount.

And also on other days, i saw my sport bet is almost won with a 90+ minutes, and I went and doubled chance the game thinking I am smart and in the last minute, the other team scored and that is how I lost both bets at the same time

Yes and by the OP's words, it's not that he made a huge mistake by declining the casino's offer in both ways, it's not really guaranteed because even the casino itself was already sweating about the amount he could be getting if the remaining bets will go through and that is why they offered the OP a decent amount. But because the OP felt that he was lucky at that time, he chose to decline and proceeded with the remaining games which later on wasn't profitable.

In simple words, a gamble is a gamble, there's no such thing as mistakes that prevented your win because it's also the other way around.

So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

This is a mistake I won't forget so fast that sometimes I just wish I could turn back the hands of time, but damn no way. I had this sport bet predictions I copied from a colleague with the intention of placing my own bet on the predictions exactly as copied but when I got to the casino back then it was a physical casino house I was using, getting there I decided to add an additional one prediction to increase my potential winning amount. Guess what all the games played as predicted except for the one I added to the slip.
I felt guilty of greed within those period knowing that I could have had a win no matter how small the amount was to my person , for another it was a big amount. A lesson I can't forget.

I used to think that when you are betting on multiple games and win most of them, you will get some outcome for that, I didn't know that your bet becomes a lost one if you lose a single one out of many games you've betted on, that is a parlay as long as I understand, however, hard luck there, I wish you didn't have added that last game from your own side so that you could win the bet but shit happens sometimes and we can't stop it from happening.

There was nothing like that for me but I remember when my spouse suggested I bet on an opponent team when I was about to place my bet on the favorite, the opponent team had very high odds because they were way weaker than the favorite team, so I went with my own bet and ignored her suggestion, and the favorite lost against the opponent team.
