Topic: [Online] Misclicks - Let's hear the stories good, bad, funny - page 3. (Read 471 times)

There was one time when I was gambling that I put x2 multiplier whenever I lost, and reset it when I won. So I was at around 0.02 already, and I accidentally misclicked the x10 one. I was really doing it quickly since I was the one doing it every time and I was also responsible for resetting it and multiplying it so that I can make sure that the amount was correct. Little did I know that me doing it myself would actually lead to my own demise. I already hit close to my limit which was around 0.01 something, so hitting that x10 made me lose around half of my current balance.

You know how the brain processed the fact that you misclicked, but your body says "Nope, you didn't misclick, time to submit" kinda thing. Really irritating at times.

I missed the decimal point once, and instead of wagering 0.02BTC on one roulette spin, I instead bet 0.2BTC which was much more than I initially planned and a potentially uncomfortable loss, even though I could definitely afford to lose that much of my stash. I ended up winning as I bet red and the spin ended up being red, but I immediately withdrew my money and spent the extra that I had just won on a few small computer upgrades and some new clothes and sneakers. Needless to say, I now check several times before I put bets in on casinos.

I also agree about the in-depth thinking part of this whole process; I find it pretty interesting when I analyze what went wrong with day-to-day things and I find a trail of mistakes that leads up to a big mistake, and it does indeed become a little bit funny at times too.

Mine happened in a dice game where I had clicked an additional zero, which led to a 10x more lose for me. This was so far the worst loss I had due to an error. I had a few misclicks which ended up in a good way. But this unfortunate event made my balance zero.

My misclick happened on a dice site I was getting some good profits with the strategy decided to use it for the last time and accidentally put one more zero than usual. The setting was on a high multiplier(x100) and with every loss my bet amount increased, draining my bankroll very quick. I still remember in less than 20 bets my balance was at 50% but I was lucky enough to win before I lose everything after that mistake I always make sure to put a lot of zeroes to avoid starting with a high base bet.

You really only think about things more in depth when they happen to you I find. Last night was no different, in the end all I could do is laugh. Was playing in a tourney I've had my eye on for a while, took a shot at it a week ago and busted shy of the cash, but this week things were going well. I was 6 off the money (~72 cash I think) and had a healthy stack, I believe 12th or better as this hand played out.
The hand doesn't really matter but I'll lay it out anyway JhQh, flop was 9,T,J 1 heart on the board I believe. 2 players check it over and I figure I'll put in a 3/4 pot bet as I had raised pre. Looking for folds was the plan, or bet through seeing if I can improve to a straight or the flush. You know take my time play the game, not jam it in like a fool.

Now the misclick - I overshot the 3/4 and hit All-In, it's literally a split second before I hit "submit" and I realize as I'm clicking what has happened. It would have been a mistake that I wouldn't have worried about but... the SB that I'm betting into is the only player at the table who has me covered. FML, he snap calls and I look at 99 waving to their buddy in the flop. Brick the turn and river, then just laugh at myself.

Now there is no guarantee I would have made the cash, but baring this incident there was a low probability I was going to battle large uncertain pots until then. I will definitely be taking my time the next session around.
