Topic: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. - page 13. (Read 2128 times)

How their condition or situation an issue that should concern me stopping me from celebrating my wins in the manner I chose to celebrate it. A scattering reasons will make me chose not to publicly celebrate my gambling win of which this one from Op can't be one of them.

If your asking me not to celebrate it for security reasons of not being attacked or a target by some miscreants due to how huge the money I have won is, of course that will sound right to accept, or to avoid those episodes of people begging you for money and feeling entitled to be gifted money from you, that also is another good thought to accept and not publicly celebrate big wins.

But telling someone that it's because of his gambling winnings you heard that dragged you back to gambling is unjustifiable and a sort of blame game that doesn't make sense to me. All my losses didn't make you to quit from gambling why should my one time big win make you gamble the more? What's the logic in that!

It's not really other people's responsibility to tiptoe around someone who is experiencing their lowest of lows. But it could really help if people would be mindful about what they are posting online and sharing in personal. It would depend on the reader and the receiver of the message if he or she will take it as an inspiration to do better or to continue gambling impulsively because of the possible benefits.

Putting the disclaimer such as the benefits and the disadvantages in your story will definitely play a part to let people know that you didn't success just because of pure luck. It comes with skills and strategies too. Letting them be aware of the hard work you put into it as well as the consequences might let them think twice before gambling. In this case it could make your story a good basis to weigh their choices on either joining or not.

I think every story is unique in its own way and I like to read most of them. Some of those winners actually lose their gains later on because they keep playing but on the other hand, some smarter people use their money to create a financial empire for themselves and I am really interested in their story. Using the money for something else other than gambling takes huge dedication which almost means quitting gambling. Obviously I am talking about life changing money here. I too don’t like to read people who won $100. All I think when I read those stories is “gj go buy yourself a happy meal now.”

Exactly so. An individual should learn to be more discreet with their winnings mostly when in the midst of those who know nothing about gambling nor have an interest in the subject.
Infact, among those who gamble, it is best to keep ones winnings on a low volume because jealousy and envy can make others doing same and not winning as much, to have an evil eye for the one who is sharing his winning story.

A testimonial is way better to reveal the source of winnings from gambling when asked about how the winner came into such winnings. It is better to be asked before one should try to reveal where such winnings came from.

Its none others business if you would really be sharing up your winnings or would really be boasting it out into the public. Why? there are people who are really just that happy on the experience that they are really that in that moment even if it wasnt intentional those actions or reactions are really just that normal. It is really just that there are people who do really have that kind of behavior on being too perfectionist on which they dont really like for them to see and let other people would really be telling on what they should gonna do. This is a free market or  space on which we could freely express on the feelings and emotions that we are currently experience
whether its a win or lose then it wont really matter or really that an issue. It is really just that there are people who are really that too sensitive when it comes to things on which it is really just
that being too sensitive i shall say.

Dont stop yourself on doing into the things that you do really want to do. Dont mind others situation whether they would really be getting inspired on the winnings that you have experienced.
It would really be just that still depending on someone on how they would really be that controlling themselves towards gambling and its up to theirs decisions
on what would happen into them. You dont have the rights on pointing out your fingers into those people who had recently won and make out some sharing.

I believe that, on the contrary, sometimes talking about winnings helps.
because it is a way to give advice to other players: for example on a certain type of sport or bet etc etc
obviously I'm not talking about self-celebration but about "constructive" topics.

In reality, who really needs to adjust? We cannot discredit anyone if they are celebrating their winnings simply because they 'worked' hard for it and like all of us they once suffered from loss, which I think why we shouldn't take it negatively. If you are envious of them, you are the one who should adjust; continue playing 'til you win or just quit already to lessen your expectations to yourself. Everyone is having their own battles and if it is our insecurities we would imply to other people then we would be wrong for it. The only danger I see of announcing one's winnings is the risk of getting robbed by bad people. It would be looking like you are inviting them to get your money from you, unconsciously and unintentionally.
Indeed will not be the winner's problem. It is not being insensitive, the ones who are taking it negatively, does. For sure we know to ourselves that upon entering this industry, luck won't be equal to all of us and that there'll be times fortune would be hard to most of us. If you did not have this mindset then you are wrong in the first place. It also depends on how the message is delivered and how it is being received; always a two way interaction I guess.

Depends on your goal.

If you're a gambling affiliator who's make money by commission, you should publish every of your winnings because this is a way for you to attract audience.

If you're just an ordinary gambler, you don't have to share your winnings, if you share it, people will ask you tip or money because you win big.

It's understandable to want to share your successes with others. After all, winning feels good, and it's natural to want to celebrate or even inspire others. Your experience could potentially motivate someone considering gambling, offering a glimpse of the potential rewards.

However, your wins might unknowingly tip the scales for someone already grappling with the decision to gamble or not. Sharing your wins, while unintentional, could be misconstrued as minimizing the risks, glossing over the potential for losses, and ultimately pushing someone down a path they might not have chosen on their own.

The issue lies in the individual's interpretation and their own mental state. For someone predisposed to gambling, your story could fuel their fire, pushing them to chase similar wins without properly considering the risks. The "win or lose" mentality you mentioned might lead them to underestimate the dangers of gambling addiction and potential financial ruin.

Yes, that's the best advice for all of us here, gamble as much as you can and by considering all the risks that can happen unexpectedly, I think those who have their principles are the ones who succeed in gambling, they always bet on commitment, without being guidedon other people's principles.

Gambling does have risks, as long as we have principles, of course we will avoid all risks that might occur, For this reason, it is very important that we have to control our level of ability in gambling, don't force ourselves if we are not able to do it, it makes us depressed and so on.

I guess what you are trying to say is to control their mouth shut and just keep their success story on their own. Well, you can’t control others from doing that just because there might be some people who will be offended or get influenced. Gamblers are gamblers, if they can’t stand their losses due to their greed and their deep urge to gamble more, then they shouldn’t enter gambling in the first place. One gambler should not adjust to the comfort of other gambler. It should be known that once you decide to enter gambling, you should be responsible enough to manage your losses as well as your winnings. If you can’t do that, then leave gambling for good.

Every success story is sometimes need to be told especially if that person finds fulfillment in sharing. If you think his success story affects you, just pretend that you’re never there hearing his story so you won’t feel totally bad.

I don't think that sharing your success story should be taken like that by those who are struggling because of their habits. It is not your problem if they are in debt because of gambling. And don't let others cut your fun and happiness to share what you have achieved, you can share it to anybody as you wish and you're not going to let them cargo their burdens upon you when you're just there to share what you have won and the amount you profit. But anyway, it is to each their own and if OP thinks that it's not right to share it like that when you have no idea what others are dealing with, it's just best to keep yourself lowkey.

I agree - sharing gambling wins needs compassion. We typically glorify gambling by sharing our wins, forgetting its darker aspect. This could unwittingly feed addiction, especially in silent sufferers. But there's another way of looking at this. Success stories can inspire if shared appropriately. Techniques, risk management, and limit setting can be taught. The narrative's framing and audience attitude matter.

This comes down to balance and empathy. We should tell our story with audience awareness. What we say and how we say it matter. Our words carry power and responsibility. We should lift, not hurt, with that power.

Success in gambling doesn't come always so we get a lot lose than win in gambling, the issue with gamblers now they decide to share their success with their friends but neglect the lose, I still don't understand why someone will want to gamble more because of some else success, it sounds senseless cause an addict struggling to pay debt cause of gambling will change their decision over night because of another person success. Although when sharing about the win we should not forget the countless times we lose so people will not have a wrong view on gambling, some people get easily moved by others success so it's best to avoid sharing wins that sounds risky to people especially gambling that has to do with taking risk.

OP, you have a point there, you never can tell what others are facing, and some will envy you due to that. It could also put some people under much stress/pressure as they might want to believe that they can replicate what you told them. Not knowing that gambling success doesn't work like that, it can come at any time and when you have a good fate on a day and have the chance to win it big, then you are indeed lucky at that time. Even those players who made it big today might not be able to replicate the success in months or years, so one should be mindful of the people they tell their story as their story might either make them or break them. Nevertheless, I am sure that those who would be broken by it will be more than those who will be made by it.

Come to think of it, those who react or get carried away by what others say to them or what they see others do are not wise. This is because what works for them might not work for you, and this is more reason why we should learn about gambling and know all the fundamentals of it before venturing into it. That aside, the security aspect is there as well, telling people your gambling success might put you at risk as you do not know the mind of the person you are telling your story towards you.

We share our success tales with pride and achievement; it's part of our journey. Your perspective shows that our tales are strong influencers, not merely narratives. They can change someone's life, especially in delicate fields like gambling. Remember that each gambler's journey is unique, with own accomplishments and tribulations. Our words can unintentionally pull on the delicate strands of human emotions, undoing the hard work of addiction recovery.

Every gambling win or loss is personal. Sharing gambling wins with caution is a sensible and insightful advice that shows you understand human psychology. We must think how our triumphs may affect addicts. Our actions (or stories) have consequences in our community. Our triumphs must be handled gently, acknowledging their power. Celebrate our achievements, but protect each other's tales so they don't hurt.

Well, you have a point. It may trigger those person who really wants or trying their best to quit. Tho, this should be confidential, anything that connected about your income or profit should be keep to yourself or to your partner only. I understand that sharing some of your highlights about gambling is for encouraging and giving motivation to other gamblers but I agree that it may trigger those person who has a negative outcome towards gambling so we should limit ourself when it comes to sharing your good experience in gambling most especially your winnings.

I totally agree that it's not everybody that deserves to hear about your big win in gambling, whether it's a fellow gambler or any other person. We live in a wicked world and you don't know if the person that you're sharing your success story with is happy for you, some might be happy while others can become envious of you, to the extent that they'll plot your downfall. Again when you anounce your big win, some family and friends will think that it's a free money and they're entitled to a share of it, they'll be coming to ask you for unnecessary financial helps or borrowing. These set of people will not stop until their sure that the won money is finished and you're back at their level. It's good to share your success story, but be very sure that you know the true character of people that you tell about your finance, so you won't regret your sincere action.

Also for your safety, don't share your story as you might expose yourself to harm from kidnappers or friends that don't want to see you win. Hide your wins and live your life to the fullest, when your network isn't known you can live freely and enjoy your money without having to be scared about your environment or things happening to your love ones. Some individuals are very evil and don't want to see others winning when they're not the ones winning.

Your story could also make the other individual that you're telling the story get into depression as they're not winning but you're. From the depression, they can do things to harm themselves or harm you. Only your very closed family members that are benefiting from your victory that you are allowed to tell you story and after that you can also give them some money for their upkeep.

I'm not sure about it though, I might hear someone win big, but that is, I'm not a free loader. I think it's ok though, I mean of course everyone is going through phases in life specially in gambling. But gamblers have to face that, if you can't take it, then stop for a moment so that it won't affect you mentally.

Or do something that will let you forget about gambling. And if by chance you tell someone then they are depressed or something, it's not going to be your fault though. I met other gamblers throughout that boast of their winning but that it's, no consequences whatsoever.
