People are always thinking that they are close to the big win while gambling. Moreover gamblers are sharing this image from time to time and defending the idea that keeping gambling is the right decision. However this is just causing a bigger addiction.



Yes but however it is a very wrong mindset in gambling, because as we know that however and until whenever victory in gambling can never be known about when it will come, we as a gambler only come with capital, see the game and guess then execute with some money, there is no advantage that we bring especially that can guarantee victory.

This means that no matter what situation you are experiencing, and no matter how many defeats you experience at that time, to be honest, it cannot be used as a benchmark that a big win will come soon. And therefore, this is why a gambler is always advised to have good responsibility to accept the situation of defeat.

Those who think are close to the big win will not stop just like that. They will still try to continue playing gambling because they believe they can win after playing for some time. But that will not always happen because gambling is unpredicted when we will win  but we can lose anytime. That image tells us that we can feels desperate and tired of chasing the win but we don't know if we are so close to the win. But we decide to leave it and not trying anymore.

OP should share with the community what site they are referring to. Many times certain scam sites will predate certain regions of a country and use a word of mouth popularity to gain name among the people of that region. Everyone should be aware of such sites and steer clear of the scams.

I totally buy into this same suggestion, and this because mentioning the site in this context is not giving the site a free promotion, but creating awareness for people who may not previously know about the site, to know that the site is a scam, just incase they come across someone else who did not know that the site is a scam, and he or she invites them to the site, they can immediately remember that someone here have posted about this same site and referred to it as a scam - I don't know if I am clear enough?

I also thought about this before posting my comment above, but reason why I did not mention it in my comment is because I already know the site op is talking about, and it's no other from either 1xbit or 1xbet.

Sometimes, we often try not to mention something that is bad, believing that no mentioning it will help someone out there, but in reality, mentioning that thing and telling people to avoid it is the real help.

People gambling around you and you feeling the sting of not gambling, sounds like peer pressure. If you are gambler yourself, you will feel that sting much more than a non-gambler who will not pay any heed. So the best way to avoid this is to try to be the second one when this happens.

The temptation to play on a new site that the friends are talking about is strong, but be on guard when you are signing up on sites like those.

I want to share my story lately, actually writing this while hearing people discussing gambling at the coffee shop now. It’s that familiar feeling we all get when hearing someone talk about making a good 100x returns from gambling in the crash game, how easy it seems then suddenly, the urge to try it yourself kicks in even with my big knowledgeof how really gambling is and the tight chances of making something like that. Everyone here is topping up their accounts, thinking they will get the same crazy gains. But deep down, I know it’s not that simple.

What’s more worrying to me is that the casino they are using seems suspiciously relatedr to one known scam casino around here. I won’t mention its name because I don’t want to promote something shady, but it definitely raises much red flags as it's targeting my region now. It's worrying also to see how tempting it can be, especially when people are caught up in the excitement, but I feel like I need to step back and share my story among with the feelings I got towards it. Anyone else feeling this pressure too? Let’s have a discussion and share your opinions.
It's natural to want to try something yourself when ever you hear some one or a group of people discussion about the positive things they have gotten from that same thing.
I can remember vividly that I myself got into gambling simply because I saw the win of a friend of mine. Before then, I used to hate gambling with passion, and saw gamblers as irresponsible people, but that changed completely after a close friend of mine won a good amount of money from a lotto game that is very popular in my country.

Every one is looking for easy ways of or to make money, so I won't very much blame those toppinh their casino accounts with money expecting to make a x100 win like their friend did, this is exactly how many get into gambling,  but however, we all should always be mindful of the casinos who choose to play our gambling games on.

Well you have a good idea by realizing that you have a problem in terms of self-control so you prefer to get involved in sports betting types than casino games, I think that is the best decision you can make, because after all even though slots look very fun but it will only be fun when you are in a winning situation, the only problem is that casino games have a much greater risk, sometimes even though you have pretty good self-control but still the number of losses usually exceeds the number of wins you managed to get.

Maybe people especially those in this forum can use your actions as an example that if you find it difficult to control yourself then never make casino games your main choice, because it can make you lose most of your money in a short period of time.
Actually making out some self realizations is really something that too easy to say but it would really be that so hard for you to do when you are on the actual situation on which you would really be that likely to

be greedy on the moment or time that you've seen someone who do really win up that big. There's something that kind of boost up on the moment or time you've seen someone who do make out some big money.
It would really be that totally that a bad idea that you do really make yourself trying out to do the same stuff but actually this is really the most common thing that do happen.

Self control and discipline is something that you would really be needing on times like these but people do usually failed up and thats why they do end up on getting addicted.
They would be only learning up things or lesson on the moment or time that you are on a tough situation on which this is really just that very normal.

Yes I also understand about that, I can agree with your opinion that saying will always be much easier than doing especially in terms of controlling emotions and greed in yourself, and the problem is that it is very difficult for someone to realize that you are in a dangerous situation such as a mind filled with greed or emotions due to experiencing defeat, meaning the biggest enemy here is ourselves which is added to which sometimes there are many other factors that can really indirectly affect the beliefs and expectations of a gambler such as the success of others in achieving big wins which indirectly of course can encourage someone to become more greedy.

On the other hand, it means that there are so many factors that can really influence and mislead a gambler into a much worse situation and because of this, it is difficult for most gamblers to stay in the recommended approach in gambling because when you are a little careless, it is very possible for you to experience changes in your thinking and perspective on gambling, meaning that sometimes even though from the start you already know and are aware that gambling can have a bad impact, it does not mean that you will be free from various changes like that.

Self-control and discipline are indeed something that a gambler must have, but the problem is that not all of them know that gambling can actually have significant negative impacts.

In recent years, especially when I saw big winners in slot games, my desire to gamble increased. I was particularly intrigued by the replay videos of Pragmatic Games. After a while, I realized that even if I didn't gamble, I was spending a lot of time watching streamers gamble on Kick, and I started to question myself. Now, I only focus on sports betting. Slot games are really fun, but for someone like me who struggles with self-control, they can be very risky.

People will always be surrounded by temptations and it is really hard to resist them, but to give in to the feeling of fear of missing out on something interesting just because someone nearby won a big win is not very rational.
Exactly, we're always surrounded by conversations about gambling, especially as a gambler. It's like a natural cause – you're likely to be around gamblers or environments where they are, and you attract things you love. However, the ability to discipline yourself and stick to your responsible gambling pattern is key.

People win games all the time, and fans know how to hype their favorite teams, especially when they want to bet on their game. Don't bet due to others' hype or with money you didn't plan to use or money meant for something else. It's ok to bet within your budget and you are ok with the game when you hear conversations but avoid betting on every game. Don't exceed your budget, and manage your time, don't sleep in the casino or on your phone. betting.

To avoid temptation, it's good to tune out such conversations or not dwell on them when you hear about them. Follow your betting pattern and don't be bothered. Self-discipline and responsible gambling practices will help you maintain control and avoid the urge to bet when you hear others discussing.

Every minute someone wins at gambling, but that doesn't mean you should put all your money on the line. Greed is what often gets us into trouble, so there is no point in chasing the winnings. During such a chase, more often than not, people spend all their money.

That's what happened to me a few years ago, hanging out with friends and then the discussion turned to gambling and all the big win stories came flooding in. Not long after that I felt a strong pressure & intention to gamble, you know what happened then? I got a big win like my friends stories. I realized it was not a good habit, I still gamble now, but I stopped gambling because of the pressure.

Alot time it's always as this having dropped a particular act and boom out of pressure and much energy from people your surrounded with you end up finding yourself doing that same thing you've definitely Zeroed your mind not to. Well it's great that you had a win after all but it's best to keep up to your decisions inorder not to have regrets later on. Just like dropping smoking and then finding yourself around friends that does it and you had to join in again it's really disheartening tho standing on one's decisions it's quite a huge task but it ought to be.

Hearing someone can win a large amount of money from gambling does sometimes arouse the desire for other gamblers to do the same thing and they think they will get lucky like the person in the story but the percentage of winning from gambling is very small and uncertain if we gamble with such encouragement of course it is not good and will cause anxiety when we fail to win the gambling that we initially hoped for instead losing money that you yourself are not willing to lose it is important not to be easily tempted by other people's wins because each person has a different fate of luck.
The feeling is real, I myself have experienced it when I gambled with friends together but the results that each of us got were different, with me failing to win while my friend managed to win even a big win that he got, it made me jealous but fortunately I could still control myself well. I can't imagine if my self-control was lost, maybe what would happen is that I would continue to gamble without thinking about the money I lost.

You are right, we should not be easily influenced by the wins that other people get because it is possible that it will only make us continue to gamble. We should be aware of being able to gamble well and be aware that winning depends on each person's luck, maybe today is not our lucky day but another time maybe luck will be on our side.

Sadly there is nothing for anyone to do to ensure that they will by gambling because most games in gambling are not skill based not even knowledge based. All you need is a lot of luck and it’s  not something you can acquire by force.

Maybe if we were talking about a specific profession or investment project then we can apply the mindset of “if he can do it, then so can i” but in gambling? Forget about it. It doesn’t work like that.
This is you being you, thinking about the possibilities of winning and that of losing, calculating the chances, and knowing fully well that it's based on luck to win the jackpot, and our luck defers, but someone somewhere is still very intriguing: if the last person was able to win the jackpot while can't they, must they be the shortest finger among others? Until some gamblers develop that knowledge of knowing that gambling results are not in their position to control, a lot will be hit by great disappointment.

Well, the possibility of a big win is what usually attracts us to bet. It's like the EuroMillions lottery, the possibility of winning tens or even hundreds of millions if there's a jackpot is what makes you buy tickets, even if the objective probability of winning is very close to 0.
-snip-



Yeah, the big winning opportunities given by the gambling platform to the gamblers are what often makes more people interested in gambling there, even though the chances of winning are usually lower than usual, but that doesn't matter to them, because it's like a hope for them to try to get something that can change their lives. and even though they are likely to lose, it doesn't matter because at least they have tried and if they are lucky they can win big.
The mechanism of gambling is to build a golden city in the subconscious of those who come here, just by visiting this city, considering the values ​​that this city provides, visitors will constantly urge themselves to invest here to receive an additional part of the benefits but on closer inspection it is a temptation, a trap, spreading exaggerated rumors, throwing out great victories as well as legends of achievements, thousands of people do not think much to join in to become a gold digger king, looking for a vacant position to dig and the quicksand will bury them

This is something very natural that we can feel when we hear someone has won a large amount. The urge will always be there and we may even be curious about what game they are playing and start thinking about playing the same game. Sometimes we forget for a moment that our luck and those who win big are different.
But when I started to realize that different luck, it could suppress the desire to play when I saw other people win big. Especially if we no longer have a budget that we can use for gambling. Because when we follow that desire, we may not be ready to lose money.

There used to be a popular one here a year or two years ago. I guess we are talking about the same site. Anyway, that's how most casinos and betting sites are built – just to scam most gamblers. They allow a few win so they can get that euphoria out there and get many more hooked on it. People don't as fast as share their loses as they would do their wins. It's the few wins out there which are often exaggerated that end up convincing others and more victims fall in.

Well, the possibility of a big win is what usually attracts us to bet. It's like the EuroMillions lottery, the possibility of winning tens or even hundreds of millions if there's a jackpot is what makes you buy tickets, even if the objective probability of winning is very close to 0. What you have to be aware of is how unlikely it is that you will win a lot in relation to what you bet, and not compulsively spend your month's salary because you hear that someone else has won a good amount.


True, many people also know everything behind the scenes of how gambling works, the chances of winning in the lottery, and the risk involved in spending your own money. The possibility of a big win is usually what attracts us to bet.
It’s more natural to feel excited when you hear about someone won a big jackpot or see others hit it big in lucky games, slots or table, and it’s even a part of why lotteries and high stakes games are so tempting to play. But it’s important to remember that those big winners are very rare and a tight chance , and the odds are stacked against us.

While betting for fun with limits in place, and viewing any opportunity to win as a bonus rather than a necessity, keeps the experience enjoyable and under control.Chasing the money you have lost is not an act of responsibility, it’s important to know that this activity is risky if you don’t understand it.
