Topic: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything - page 3. (Read 980 times)

I am usually very careful when it comes to gambling but I made a fatal mistake in my betting and experienced a $100 loss for the first time in my life. I clicked on one team's place in the wrong order in Sportbetting and another team was clicked so I lost $100 on that bet. Because the team I wanted to select was sure to win that match but accidentally clicked on another team and lost the bet on that team due to which my bet amount was lost. After that mistake, I didn't warn myself afterwards and I definitely watched the bait carefully when I caught it. After that mistake I didn't make a second mistake but I corrected myself a lot.

I keep making this mistake and this has cost me so much loss. I am fond of repeating a particular game on my different tickets so when the particular game I repeated  across all my tickets doesn't play, it will affect all the tickets. This is a mistake and no gambler should be so confident in any game and then repeat it. I used to have confident on teams but with my experience that nothing can be so certain as far as gambling is concerned so I stopped gambling that way. Now, you can never see me repeating a particular game across my tickets.

Since I stopped repeating games I hardly lose all my tickets because any spoiler game doesn't affect more than one ticket and this is the best way to gamble. A particular game cannot become a risk factor to all the tickets and so the chance of winning is high now on my part. 

I can somehow relate to these mistakes. Even now, I can still say that every time I play blackjack, I make mistakes that I know to myself that I shouldn't have done in the first place.

I did the same thing as you where I have a strong pair of cards that should make me win then I suddenly mis-click the double or sometimes the split even if what I really wanted to do was to stand. Resulting in having a loss instead of winning that round.

Sometimes, those kinds of mistakes unexpectedly result in winning, like if you have a pair of Kings, then you suddenly click the hit, you luckily get an Ace. I have these kinds of mistakes that make me wonder if this is some chance or luck that I have wasted because I just made a mistake.

Anyway, what I can only say is that, if you know to yourself you have made a mistake in your bets don't let it change your mood or how you place your bets. Try to calm yourself and go from the start. If ever you let this mistake overcome your confidence, you will only face losses.

I don't think he is blaming the casino, there's nothing written about it. It's a mistake that does happen for most gamblers especially those who play almost 24/7 of their time.
It's not that hard to believe because there's no way our internet providers will have a perfect performance in a whole month. There will be glitches, sudden fluctuations in speed, maintenance issues, and more. These are normal issues that happen a lot of times especially if you are in a third-world country whose services are messed up. But, I don't blame the internet either when I make mistakes. This has never happened to me though.

The only mistake in my memory that is difficult for me to forget is when I lack in counting zeros. This is a problem for most of the cryptocurrency users.
I won't go into the detail but let's just say instead of 0.001, I made 0.01. It's a big difference especially if you are taking care of your budget and don't want to get rekt quick. Luckily, I am in the green zone, it was winning before I realized it. It's a good mistake as they call it. But never have I ever made the same error in counting after that because I am afraid that the next time I make that mistake, it could take away all my balance real quick.

Gamblers must have made mistakes, whether intentional or unintentional, and this is a very normal thing in gambling, especially online gambling which is connected to devices and the internet. Errors such as screen glitches, hangs, freezes, and various other errors which are beyond our expectations will definitely occur, and we cannot do anything about them, because they are beyond our capabilities. But these problems may very rarely occur, the most important thing is how we can avoid mistakes we make on purpose which can make us lose and stay calm as much as possible or learn from the experience so that this will not happen again in the future.

I can also relate to those kinds of mistakes as i've experienced them several times with sports betting. It would start with a common loss like dropping a few units, and the idea of wanting to chase pops up then that's where things go downhill because I would overlook the most likely thing that could happen and that's losing most of my bets until my bankroll drops to zero.

I had another moment where emotions carried me away and it got so bad that I went on one of the longest losing streaks I can recall. The bad part was that I took things lightly because I was still new to sports betting and became too passionate about it.

I don't think it's a mistake but it's something that happens suddenly and you don't expect, meaning it's not your fault because obviously there's something going on that prevents you from betting or something. For me the real mistake in gambling is when you do something that can lead to bad effects in the long run such as applying greed as you said here which actually bad effects will not happen if for example you are able to control yourself, and obviously I would not say that anything is a mistake if it basically leads to a way to get a win.

We must understand that gambling is always random and you will never know what makes you win or what makes you end up losing, which means that most likely gambling is always about luck. On the other hand it is a wrong mindset if you assume that you made a mistake in gambling that made you lose, and it is also a wrong mindset if you are too confident and believe in something that you think can lead you to victory such as applying strategies or other methods, the real fact in my opinion is that winning always depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session.

I mean that was just some common mistakes and it happened most of the time to a lot of gamblers, it happened to me a lot as well, and it was really easy to lose your focus and get tilted most of the time because of so many distraction that could get on your way, There are times that I get wrong one, click the one button, just because I lose focus just for a little bit of time and that result to a loss, I mean there are times, that it accidentally get me to a win but most of the time it ended up with a huge lose.

But now it rarely happens to me because when I gamble I make sure that I'm all set, and I have nothing to worry about but to focus, and be ready for the game, I guess it is still important for most of the gamblers because these bets are money after all and losing money is not going to be a good thing, I mean mostly I get that adrenaline on this kind of thing so my spirit is always awake especially if I know that I'm winning.

You could be lazy for sure, I do some research on like sports betting for sure, and I do at least some analysis on what team i think is going to win, but its a different game after all you could just bet on it and hope for your team to win there was no focus required you just need to be updated on what is happening at least so that you know how it might turn out next time, or if you actually win or lose.

That's a certain thing, that's why gambling is called risky, sometimes we don't realize that the mistakes we make can have fatal consequences for the bets we make, whether it's a small or big mistake, on purpose or not, in fact anyone who gambles has felt this way.

For that reason, in the past I have also experienced something like you, but not in blackjack betting, it happened in Roulette gambling, I won twice in a row for the number X14, because of my mistake and I believed that the number 14 could not possibly come out again, This will definitely result in 2x and 4x numbers coming out. I used all bets on 2x and 4x numbers, but the opposite happened, 14x came out 3 times in a row, it made me fall and reflect on the mistakes I made.

So that's a brief history of the mistakes I've made in gambling, it made me think a hundred thoughts, if greed is brought into gambling, no matter small or big mistakes, they can all have fatal consequences.

Though brave, you're setting yourself up for failure. Your network's terrible, your gadget's glitchy, and your head's not in the game are enormous neon lights shouting, "Hold up!"

However, what happens? Despite the warnings, continue in the hope that luck will favor the unprepared. Truth: it wont. Evaluate your environment, equipment, and mental state; it's sensible and necessary. Not hurting your own chances from the start is more important than avoiding defeat

Consider that pause and evaluation distinguish the wise from the foolish. You might lose even with all the proper moves, but you'll know it wasnt your fault. Life is the lesson, not gambling. Mastering oneself requires calm, observant behavior, not just better game odds

I would assume prolong is actually quite good, why? Because it makes you gamble more and it gives you higher wagering as well. Does this mean you do not lose all your money? Of course not because if you keep gambling then eventually you will lose it all, however it does make you help with something that's much better in the end.

I believe that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that you are going to end up with a good result one way or another. I believe that we are going to get a ton of profit from this with time, and that should be the most important part. I think what we need right now would be just accepting a purpose to still lose and yet gamble, and in most cases prolong means more hours to play, so same money but more hours is great, plus if you wager more, you may win a reward.

So that's why I don't believe in strategy, because even if strategy is useful, it won't be free from luck. However, some people still believe in strategies and even one of my friends really believes in tricks, winning patterns or strategies, and strangely enough he still believes even though as long as he plays with tricks or patterns, I never see him win. Lol
Maybe this has brainwashed him because he can't think rationally anymore, but I'm sure he will slowly realize that it's wrong, and I still think it's a normal thing because he can be said to be a new gambler. In fact, it's not uncommon for me to see him watching videos on how to get big wins in gambling. Honestly, I laughed when I saw that, because how could we believe a "tutorial" video like that.
Indeed, I see that many of those who are new to gambling already believe in things like that, this happens because there are lots of promotional advertisements about winning strategies which eventually enter their minds. But one day I'm sure they'll realize it.

           -    I think you are not the only gambler who has experienced such a thing; many have faced such a scenario. There are times when other gamblers feel that way, and to be honest, sometimes greed also gets in the way. There are some people who think that they will bet everything because they think that if they hit, they will also win a lot of money.

But most of the time, in these kinds of exercises, one always experiences a big defeat in reality, and only rarely does one really hit in these situations. But most of them are not carried away; instead, they continue in this style.

Most of these mistakes can actually be avoided if we can be calm and observe are gadgets, environments and other factors first before we start gambling.  But the eagerness to just gamble and win immediately will not let many carry out these observations, even when many will see some obvious reasons why they should pause first, they would rather go ahead gambling and regret later when when the mistakes they made hits back at them.

Many already know there is poor network in their environment, why go ahead with the game when you know the network is poor,
You have a faulty device, why not use a different device to gamble or wait till your device is fixed?
You know you are not in the right state of mind at the moment to think straight and play, you can always hold on.

Some mistakes are actually avoidable if we can really be calm and observant. At least even if you eventually lose, you will be calm knowing well you didn't influence your loss with your avoidable mistake.

This is hard to believe, because I have been gambling for a long time now and I have never had such problems, internet in some countries are pretty bad and if you know this already why still gamble on such a network?

It's your problem to solve, abandon the network and look for a better option, make sure your network is very fast before you start gambling, you can use an online network tester and see how fast your Mbps is.

The only one time I messed up was when my data got expired when I already start gambling, I lost nothing though bit it interrupted the fun, and I quit to buy a fresh data for the month.

All these can't be blamed on the casinos.

Providing aides is sufficient, just ask and help will come. Good fortune ahead, it's only for the serious minded persons to follow. Figuring out the necessities is important, we stayed plain on a single track and achieving basic objectives shouldn't be something to worry about. We're here to embraced the available means of earning profits in the space, no room of talking too much because actions speaks louder than voice. There are costly mistakes that are punishable, it's easy to know these mistakes but spotting them out doesn't seem easy as we all think.

I agree with you, uncontrolled gambling clearly endangers the future, not only your own future, of course your family's future can also be affected. uncontrolled gambling will become a serious problem, it can damage our mental health sooner or later, because in my opinion uncontrolled gambling can influence our thinking to become messy which will trigger stress. and if stress occurs, it is likely that it will become a mental problem for us, which was initially fine but became unhealthy.

Sometimes they can't accept the small mistakes they make themselves with the consequences, such as depositing money back when they've lost, and when the money they bet on is lost they can't accept it, even though that is a definite consequence. These consequences cannot be avoided. Gambling that is carried out should be done with full responsibility, with discipline being one of them. and by being able to accept the risks that will occur for sure. Most people cannot accept risks that will definitely happen, for some reason, perhaps because they only think about winning, so they ignore the fact about losses that are certain to occur. and those who ignore losses and always think only about winning will also be a problem in the future for the gambling they do.

That is a piece of good advice because spending more time in gambling never gives passive results but instead, negative ones. The more we gamble, that exactly will lose more because we are already losing control of our emotions. Losing control is just like losing everything as we can't think anything but to gamble and chase our losses. That is how important to know when to stop gambling or else, we are just pushing ourselves to do terrible things. And the worse thing that possibly happens is addictions.

Take a break is necessary to do to prevent losing our control and can thinks clearly to stop gambling for a while. With take a break, we can reduce the tension of the outcomes that we got in gambling so we will knows what we must do and if we gets lost in the last round, we must stops gambling and leaves the casino. We will have a chance to take a breaths and can realizes that playing gambling is just for fun and not for making money although some people can make money. We don't have to thinks much about making money and let the luck moment comes to us. We will prevent the mistakes that other people do because we learned from other people experiences.

I'm sorry to hear about this "screen glitch" that you have. It may be time for a new screen? Or maybe a new device alltogether. If its causing you to lose your whole bankroll than that would be a liability, and you should definitely fix that if you can help it. I hope that you can figure it out and that you have good fortune ahead!
