Topic: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health - page 2. (Read 1326 times)

Agreed, when one is able to make $2500 from $1 it is really great thing in gambling. As stated it needs lots of time and patience to achieve it. Not everyone is able to do it. Same time when one achieve it, they get big confidence that they can win big. This is where they go wrong, and this mindset makes them go for increased bet and ends up losing. I've personally experienced it. Once I made $900 from $3, but I lost it all. It took me two weeks to reach, so it is all about greed and over confidence that leads to loss.

If the gambler starts to rebuild their balance in the gambling sites,the first thing was he use more time compared to the normal gamblers.The gambler who had increased the 1-2500 dollars in not the easy task,being the gambler we know how hard to increase the deposit amount of 100 dollars to the 200 dollars.Apart from the game,the gambler should have the luck and time for the big money.The gambler should not play the multiple games in the gambling sites to multiple the money in the gambling sites.He should master in the one game and increase their strategy to make the big win in the gambling sites.

Gamblers are positive thinkers when it comes to their bet, they will never believe that they will loss, as they believe that they will win the next game the moment they loss the previous. This is what has made so many gamblers continue to place their bet even though they are running at loss.

I really prefer to bet on a single or two games rather than multiples of games because the chances of winning is very slim compare on when you bet on a dingle game that you are sure of, rather than multiples games that you might not be sure of. The problem is that famblers think that gambling is to make profit and they will use very small amount of money and want ro win bug with it, and at the end of the day when they end ip losing, they end up with gambling trauma.

Actually, having expectations about the bet is okay, but we shouldn't have too high hopes because in gambling, we don't have a certain outcome regarding winning, and we also don't know when we can win. So instead of being frustrated by waiting for our winnings to come, it's better for us just to enjoy gambling and always limit the use of money so that we don't lose much money. And that's why we don't need to have too high expectations when playing gambling rather than regretting that our expectations were not achieved.

Also it is not like we were talking about a massive amount of money here, since I could understand if someone got sick if they were close to winning millions of dollars and they failed to do this by a single number, in that case even if that money was not theirs that kind of money could change the life of almost anyone and I could comprehend why they are so depressed about it, but 2500 dollars albeit a nice amount of money cannot really change our lives and no one should be that depressed about not winning that amount.

Lol, last time i fell sick because of a bet i lost, i actually fell sick not because of the money i was supposed to win, but i fell sick because of the amount of money i staked in that game and then lost it, its was a very painful experience for me to be honest, but i did blame myself for staking way more than i can afford to lose in one game.

Now, coming back to falling sick because of money the gambler expected to win which eventually did not come through, i would say that such attitude is nothing but being stupid, and this can only be as a result of the gambler not really understand what gambling is all about and the risk involved, it is often said in an adage that a bird at hand is worth millions of birds in the bush, why should someone already put his or her hopes in a money that he or she has not won, to the extent of falling sick because the money expected to be won was not won, we indeed have some people who are still kids and gambling, forgetting that gambling is not for kids.

I have a friend who has very high expectations regarding his bets. He told me that he would move his entire family to a developed world when he wins some huge amount of money. I like his expectations and goals but he has a wrong perception about gambling. I have also observed that he is not always happy and sounds depressed sometimes. From all observation, he gambles within his means but his expectations are too high which is affecting his mood. As you observed @knowngunman we should have a reasonable expectation because gambling is unpredictable to avoid mental health issues.

Having hope and positive expectations is always a good thing but the expectations should not be too high because luck is not something you can control. Gambling can be a lot of fun but it's very necessary to always approach it with a healthy attitude. It's a game of chance in which there's no guarantee of winning. Unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment and frustration, so it's best to be mindful of them and remain calm waiting for the outcome of the game than to start planning on how to spend invisible money. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of optimism when you're placing a bet. But it's paramount to keep your expectations realistic and to understand that the odds are not in your favor because your chance of losing is always higher than the chance of winning.

Parlays are a rollercoaster, on one hand they make your gambling experience way more fun and the potential for a big win using a small amount of money is there, however very rarely you will win a parlay, and this is because as anyone that has tried before has noticed, it is almost impossible for all the favorites of each match to win, there is always a surprise here and there which basically guarantees that you will never get all of your bets right and you get the win you have been looking for.

Having hope in every bet does not hurt because every round is different if you are lucky maybe it's good, but luck does not apply to every round as well as every value you bet. And it's true that having high expectations will also be detrimental because with the hope of winning big it will make you continue to play even though only losing you always get.

That is one of the bad effects of gambling with the hope that you will still win if you continue to play, of course this is wrong. The further you go in, the greater the loss you will experience. Borrowing here and there to continue playing and this will have no end because of the hope of winning big that you have. It's best to immediately reduce playing gambling, don't go too deep because there will be worse impacts waiting.

From everything you said, it will frustrate someone because instead of getting the win he wants, he will lose a lot, which might cost him all his money. He couldn't use gambling to make money, let alone quick money. Gambling can be a quick way to lose all his money, especially if he cannot limit his money and control himself.

It seemed like his friend was still imagining his painful defeat, hoping that someone could turn back the time so he could get his money again. But that is all in the past and he must be able to rise from his downturn and not repeat it.

This is possible, but yes, when luck is on Someone's side it is impossible for things to go wrong, I think that if a person with a low budget could do Great things , of Course if she has the touch of luck, because otherwise I don't believe it , where you see this type of things the most is when they Play in the slots, and obviously you have to have the respective touch of luck, because there is no other option, I don't see any other possibility until things happen , So we try to see what is most feasible, there are those things, but they don't work or Happen all the time, in reality what that person did was to play and win with that 1 dollar and achieve something very good, for that reason When we start to observe from a very Objective Point of view , when people start playing games, sometimes they spend a lot of money looking for big profits, and sometimes they lose everything, and they don't win anything, or they win, but it's less than what they think. have Played, in games the most Surprising thing is to Lose than to win , Due to the house Advantage.

Now, we must always put something into consideration, when we have a budget just to ensure that it is enough so that we can generate good reuses, there is no other option, for those who play in an uncontrolled way , because it is not good to do so because it is very likely that they will lose, Although gambling and casinos refer a lot to luck, they also have to concentrate and do things well, if you play too crazy, then the results will never be good, that's why self-control is not letting yourself be carried away. the impulses and salgo that have to be seen as the best or the best strategy, otherwise I would not see it well, so that we can have better perspectives of how a Player can be successful, there are many characteristics that must be met and among those the It is better that you Always be a profitable person, even with little income, so that your balance is always increasing.

even so, doing multi bets requires a strong mentality, I mean like the OP case if you only use a few $ but the odds are very high which makes us hope that we will win and if we mentally can not accept defeat and hope too much I think that will torturing our own minds and damaging our mentality because as you said if you are lucky you will get a large amount quickly but you will also lose quickly.

Its very normal and I might understand the situation that the OP is telling because maybe he really needs money, even though he almost won a large amount, but his mistake was not being able to accept all the risks or even ignoring the risk of losing in a multi bet, the possibility of losing is very high. because luck still applies in multi bets.

Unhealthy things that make you stressed in gambling are,
- consider gambling the fastest way to make money.
- consider the winning percentage to be the most important thing than the losing percentage.
- using money you can't afford to lose.
- gambling without remembering the time.
- not having good money management in gambling.

now what about your friend's condition! is he still unable to forget the defeat he received previously! is he still not willing to accept that defeat? you must be able to try to persuade him to forget that defeat and look at the future better so that he will be able to win again in the gambling that he will do next.

This is just ridiculous thought that since the gambler lose the money and the casino onwers wins the money, you change  your role from being a gambler to a casino owner. Casino owner requires a lot of money and a lot of capital and it is not everyone's capability to become an owner of a casino.

Yes theoretically and for the very small portion of the people who can afford to shift the roles, this is one way to get rid of the mental disorders rising from the continuous loss in the gambling.

“If you can’t beat them join them” is what you are trying to express here which is really fascinating idea. The only problem is the difficulty on joining them in terms of being employed, affiliate or bankroll investment.

Most of the casino nowadays is backed by huge private companies with their own set of stuff. Affiliate is kinda hard to earn too due to the competition from influencers and gambling review sites which often tanking customers. It’s really good to join the house but  finding the opportunity to do that is hard even on joining a decent signature campaigns that will last long term.

This is a common thing in gambling where people believe that they can be responsible in gambling and can immediately stop after winning a certain amount of money. But the reality is that these people will only continue gambling even though they have won a lot of money because they are controlled by greed. It happens to many gamblers. And only a few can realize it and can stop in time after they get their big win.

And if we experience this, we must also be able to stop on time rather than lose our winnings if we continue gambling. It would not be advisable when we have won, but we cannot stop gambling. Don't be too greedy in chasing win, and feeling sufficient and satisfied with the win we have obtained will be better than losing money in the next round.

For now and the current condition in my opinion is not not much, but on the contrary, I see now more and more people who depend on winnings from gambling, especially in my country where they come because they see other people's wins and after that they will continue to pursue victory like other people, there are also those who go to borrow just to gamble and they intend to return the loan as a result of their gambling winnings, I can't think why they have that mindset, because obviously gambling is created for two things, for pleasure and for defeat. I mean if you come with the intention of winning then you will lose more and more and if you come to just fill the time then you will be able to enjoy the fun that is there. Basically fun is not just about when you get a win but when you can get a thrill from a spin that's fun enough in my opinion.

That's right, if you want it all, fun and winnings then there is no other way but you create your own casino, indirectly it will make you continue to win even if you don't gamble, because you will benefit from 90% of the losses of members in your casino. And yes only a few think of this, but there are still other ways as you suggested, become an affiliate? yes that's better.

Not a lot of people do this, but the ones who do it should find another way to handle their income. I mean gambling could also be something fun and profitable if you are not the gambler, you can always turn the table and just let others gamble and be the house. This could be done by having your own casino obviously but you do not have to do that, you can be affiliate, or staff member of a casino as well.

Those are all great methods, I mean even a simple affiliate link in your signature here could yield maybe a few people, sure it's harder but you can search for other places you can put banners around and maybe get some attention. So long story short stop being the one who loses, and start being on the winners side.

Most people fail to realise this when gambling. I have seen people who put so much faith and hope in gambling like they are the ones in charge of the game, as if they have the power to decide the outcome of the game, from how the game will start to how it will all end.
 
One thing that gives most of them that concern is that they have been lucky enough a few times when their game ended as predicted, which makes them think they might have some special skill to always make the right prediction.

Sometimes the reason for this kind of high disappointment is when they just have fewer games left to end the ticket and the games that they least expected to end as they predicted played in their favour, which alone convinces them that their chance of getting the overall winning is high, which makes the disappointment hit them differently.
