Absolutely, your insight on patience in gambling is spot on. It's a powerful reminder that, in the realm of gambling, whether it's sports betting or casino games, patience isn’t just a virtue, it's a strategy.
Your personal experience serves as a valuable reminder to us all about the importance of patience. It's those moments of impulsive decision-making, as you described with the cash-out option, that teach us the most. Remember, even in moments that feel like setbacks, there’s a lesson that contributes to our growth.
Here’s to more patience, better decisions, and the joy playing.

Gambling with a minimized amount of money helps the gambler to focus on playing responsibly. Because when money is not affected a lot the player won't have to bother to chase loss. The emotional stress only starts the moment this player begins to get agitated over losing out his money. Greed is also a factor that affects the patience of gamblers, to go ahead their budget, instead of waiting for the right moment to win money. Due to greed most gamblers wouldn't mind sticking to wagering smaller amount of money. Especially when they're winning, their thoughts will go towards what the won amounts would have been if they wagered a bigger amount of money. Hence, players should sprinkle some patience to wagering strategy.

That's right, sometimes impatience is what often makes a gambler lose. For example, when a gambler can't wait for their game to finish, and they decide to cash out because they are afraid that the game will lose, but instead the game wins and in the end they don't get a big win. This is one example of why patience is important in gambling, and not only that, there are many other advantages why a gambler really needs to be patient.

Discipline of course on which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well on which patience would really be able to help you out. You wont be finding yourself to be put up on such potential problem since you do have that kind of control on which it would really that something relevant or something that important. We do know that gambling is something that involves with
loses on which if you are someone whose really that not good when it comes to emotion handling then gambling isnt for you. If you are someone whose really that impulsive then you are really that prone to tons of mistakes and this is something that you should really be avoiding as much as you could because this could really be resulting a true devastation when it comes to finances.
This is why you should really be that someone whose really that responsible when it comes to the actions and decisions that you are really that making.

A few gamblers are the ones who usually get to be patient enough, as majority are usually in a hurry to get to win almost immediately because they have probably lost a few cash and would want to recover so that aswell affects their level of patience but I think patience usually helps a lot and if you have got it even in gambling you will be able to catch up on opportunities as they do come up with time and not almost immediately.

Don't gamble with a very hasty mind it's not a healthy way of gambling as you may not end up making the right decision gambling because you are in a haste especially if you are gambling in sports games like football, it requires you take out some time to make some analysis and at the end you will be able to balance up your game to get a win or probably increase your chances to win because generally gambling is luck based and you can't be too sure you are going to win regardless of how much knowledge and analysis you invest into it before you place your bet.

Due to the fact that most times gambling is luck based, we don't have to expect that the results will always turn out the way we expected it because we are actually not in control of the outcome of these games all the time, it's only a few times we would be able to keep our selves at an advantage by gambling by an edge so we probably hope to get lucky of which it's actually not all the time .

That's the best method because gambling is a game that needs self decipline, so if a gambler is able to decipline himself it will be very hard to get emotional because just like you advised Putting 1% of ones salary in gambling is not actually bad because no matter what the outcome maybe it may not really affect them do to the fact that the money is less for them, although the only thing is that using that kind of percentage to bet may not really bring a huge money but is better risking what we no will not affect our emotions if we lose it because most of the challenges people have is greed of always wanting for more, which expose them to risk more money for greater returns.

This is a good point. And what comes to point OP was trying to make, i don't think it made sense. Patience in general is a good skill to have, but people are trying to apply it to everything as something worth pursuing and that just doesn't work. First of all people keep mixing it to doing nothing or waiting. Which can be worst idea you can do in several cases.

I would understand this advice when it comes to waiting for multibets running in the end in sports, but slots? That makes zero sense. We don't ever win because we are patient. We  win because we are lucky. I guess OP has heard this from the world of investment and trading, in where skill to have patience has some advantages, but it can fail in there too. Anxiety can save your money in there too. Because you might sell a dip, but you might as well sell ahead of huge crash. And people waiting holding bags in bear trend think they are patient, but instead they are just too scared to act and buy later. But that requires acting fast and patience.

I made money in gambling by occasionally betting irrationally high bets. Not by grinding patiently.

Patience helps in different ways in different types of gambling. Probably most of all in poker, in abundance from slots and betting.

But in general: It seems to me that patience in gambling does not greatly affect the results of the game, unlike luck. Of course, it is important to be self-contained and not lose control of your actions, but in the end, a lot still depends on the case. It is not always possible to predict and influence the outcome of the game, even if you are the most patient and calculating player.

Perhaps patience will help to keep calm and not lose your head in difficult situations, but there is nowhere without luck. After all, gambling is still a gambling game where luck is crucial.

True, feeling disappointed due to results that are not what we expected is a natural thing that all gamblers feel, but there are some gamblers who make things even worse, such as gamblers who have entered the addiction phase where their response to losing is much higher than ordinary gamblers who come without excessive expectations such as those who are quite responsible, meaning that losing is indeed a frustrating situation but there are some gamblers, namely those who are addicted who take some actions that basically lead them to a much worse situation and condition.

For example, resuming a gambling session by putting in a larger amount of money with the intention and purpose of recovering something that has been lost and based on emotion and desperation, while some other gamblers such as those who are responsible prefer to prioritize precautionary measures where they prefer to stop when the situation is like that, and this is why we are always advised to be responsible gamblers by limiting all involvement and decisions in gambling. Because as you said above that all results at the end of the session always depend on how lucky you are at that time, and this is the reason why it is better to prioritize risk management because it is useless that the name of victory is like the wind, it is difficult to get and you will only be able to get it when you are really lucky and yes patience is one of the keys that lead to preventive action.

We all desire a quick cure, a simple guideline to avoid trouble. "Just set a budget, be patient, and boom: gambling problem solved." But that's too simple, guy. It doesnt fix the cause. Gambling addiction isnt about money. How your brain is wired matters.

Reminding oneself to limit? Imagine taming a wild beast with string. Human nature, especially under pressure, breaks such rules. The adrenaline and dopamine hit ignore your rules and restrictions.

Society doesnt help either. They're forcing gambling or condemning you for giving in. A broken mechanism that traps you.

Yes, apart from patience, it is also necessary to limit the budget because it is very helpful for us to be able to prevent gambling addiction, therefore, don't ever think that we can be patient and control ourselves and not be influenced by possible situations and circumstances, sometimes we have been there. in a position where we cannot be patient and control our emotional feelings when gambling so that patience alone is not enough, many people make quick decisions without realizing it and they bet beyond their limits.

Anyone can be carried away by the feeling of wanting to continue gambling and be addicted to gambling, therefore limiting the budget will help us more, apart from being able to avoid gambling addiction, it can also help us control ourselves so that we don't go beyond the limits, anything that goes beyond the limits will definitely end badly, so it's better Limit whatever it is, be it time or budget when gambling because I still consistently do that up to now and until now everything is consciously still well controlled without feeling any difficulty.

Well if your hit rate or win rate is too low as you said. Then you must ensure that you win more money than you lose on every bet. Otherwise you end up on negative balance even you have more winning than losing times.

Loses always turn on our impulses to be degenerate. Lose it all and mourn. You don't want that. So patience will give you time to recalibrate, think and make better and more sound decisions. Instead of taking those that will possibly worsen your situation. Slowly is the best way to make money. But if you see an opportunity, press it hard and win more.

That is why when playing gambling, we also need patience. We should not follow emotions because that will only make us lose self-control and bet more often. We don't need to feel upset and dissatisfied when things don't go according to plan.

When playing gambling, we must remember that we can experience defeat more often. If we lose, we must also be patient and think this is gambling. We can't always expect to win but should be prepared to lose. If we cannot control ourselves, we can experience even more defeats.

The important thing is that we can restrain ourselves by being patient and accepting the outcome. We must always remember that we can win or lose when playing gambling.

I disagree. Low patience can help you a lot with playing slots. Sometimes if you are bored and don't want to continue - it's your rescue actually. Because if you keep playing you can lose much more.


I feel you man. Exactly the same happened to me too some time ago. I cashed out 43x of my bet before the last leg of my multibet was settled only to see later that I was right in my last prediction and I would win 200x of bet if didn't cash out.

Well said! It is normal that we feel when we feel that we are going to lose or maybe the results we want to get are not working for us, We need to remember that gambling is more based on a person's luck, so we do not need to follow our own emotions, we must control our own feelings and not other things, we need patience when it comes to this but we also need to be balanced in our actions here. there are instances that when we are too patient, we are left with an opportunity because we are enduring the current situation we have.

I think it is a fact that it is very unlikely for them to actually draw the line at the right time, usually more of them prefer to continue rather than stop or just to take a break without doing any consideration beforehand, which is where they continue based on emotions and desperation with goals and beliefs driven by lust such as the assumption "I must be able to restore something that has been lost", as you said that they will just bet without thinking about anything and this is a scenario where they will only make themselves end up in a much worse situation.

On the other hand I think what is more appropriate is that patience is useful to minimize something that is not desirable in any case especially in gambling so that you do not experience a much greater amount of loss and not patience to avoid failure because after all the name of gambling always involves the possibility of risks that can never be completely avoided, and yes in my opinion one of the things that can keep you from some out of control actions is that you must be able to maintain a level of awareness so that you can still be rational.

It's crucial to remember that gambling may be addicting, and to consider your emotions while deciding whether or not to pay out. It's normal to feel upset and dissatisfied when things don't go as planned. Setting some boundaries for yourself is something you could think about and that can assist. For example, you may make a rule that you won't check the results of your bets until they're resolved, no matter how nervous you are. You might also try putting a limit on how much money you're willing to bet in a specific period of time. This can assist keep you from overpaying or making rash judgments.

Correct, and in that same situation when you failed your first attempt instead of taking some time either to rest and quit or try harder to sort for a type of bet that you may have better chance to win, you'll just bet without thinking and the outcome, you'll lose again and aggresively try to keep pushing yourself losing more money with a huge regret remembering your mistakes.

That's how important patience to avoid certain failures that can cause you to lose a huge amount of money, but instead, doing the right things and not to let any emotion to push you to do careless mistakes.

I don't think patience is the virtue to look for when you're gambling. It should be temperance and self-control.

When you gamble, you don't anticipate that much, but what you do is instead wish for the wins to come your way, when the wins didn't come, you gamble again and again without even looking back to just how much you've already lost trying to chase that bag, eventually you lose your shit, and then you lose your mind. and when that shit happens to you, you're already halfway there towards Gambling Addiction land. When you're more controlled and tempered however, you're unfazed by the losses and hence in a better mindset to play, that even when you do lose money you're not that eager to get it back, what you're in it was the thrill and the fun of it, and nothing more.

Sure, in some situations patience could help a lot, but it's not patience that distinguishes the good gamble from a bad one, it's self-control and knowing that you have your own limits to never go overboard of or else you're risking yourself to more trouble.

What I have learned from so much time spent in gambling as I in what I call "retirement" mode,meaning I gamble every day less,is that when you raise the bet,as soon as you do in any game or any provider it will immediately start crashing the hell out of your money,even in the remote case that it may start giving you money in the beginning,keep in mind that overall is going to crash you to the very last penny until you lose it all.

So the patience to continue playing with the minimal bet and having a high balance,like having 1000 dollars and playing with 0.10-0.20 dollars per bet in the long term will benefit you as the slot providers have programmed their slots to get "bored" after some time and give you some wins in order to make you raise your bet which you should not.
