Topic: Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins - page 3. (Read 1481 times)

Yes, that is the use or function of self-control, which in addition to preventing you from the possibility of greed, can also prevent you from significant regret and also give you the opportunity to enjoy money from winning when at that time you managed to achieve a number of wins.
On the other hand, we must remember that different times will also have different results, or what is meant is even though for example now you have managed to win, it does not mean that victory will come again when you choose to continue the game because of the urge of greed.

Another thing related to choosing the right casino, of course, it should be done if you have the ability to distinguish between which casinos are safe and which casinos have the potential to commit fraud, meaning that we are advised not only to focus on various preventive measures but also to pay attention to various other things that can also cause problems.

Basically having a more prevention-focused approach will always be the best approach to gambling, as you do by focusing on discipline even though sometimes you occasionally break the rules you have made but that is something that is natural for a social creature to do and from what I read above I think you have a good mindset and perspective on gambling in the sense of realizing that gambling can be very risky and destroy most of your life when you do it without a plan that leads to prevention.

That's good my friend because only in that way will we be a little more protected from addiction, limiting the amount of budget, time of involvement and expectations of victory is the best.

Rumors of impressive wins spread at the speed of light and this undoubtedly excites the minds of gamblers, and also spurs them to challenge the casino with an internal emotional response "I can do it too". But the problem is that in this gambling system it is impossible for everyone to win. In gambling, it is very important to maintain a sober mind and suppress emotions, including when you learn about such large wins. You should not recklessly and headlong try to repeat the success of these lucky ones, but continue to adhere to your gaming strategy and style of play.

Also, don't forget that you most often don't hear rumors about large (and not only) losses, because gamblers try to keep silent about this, because it is a manifestation of losing. Although such stories undoubtedly exist more.

I'm not 100% rigid in being disciplined in my gambling habit, sometimes I allow myself to fall for the temptation to gamble a bit with my wins. In my post that you quote I emphasized that "although I can sometimes break the rule", but it's very rare, besides I gamble only a few times in a week. It's very important that gamblers learns to be disciplined so that they can control their gambling habits. The goal is to avoid being addicted to gambling, so that they will gamble responsibly, without being disciplined, it's easy to get carried away and fall for the temptation to over gamble.

Such desire is natural but the feeling that gives pressure to try can be greater and in the end can follow the heart and mind that are carried away by the atmosphere to try it continuously but all of that does not give the expected results and this is reality that you cannot avoid.
What is worse is the courage to increase the money quota in gambling, either by borrowing money or using the remaining savings which clearly there will always be other efforts to get it and things like this we must often find or experience ourselves.

If they only see the rewards in other people without thinks that they can not gets the same thing as them, he will only keep trying to playing gambling without stop. Their losses will be bigger than those people because they will urge to keep playing gambling and win more money. I think I already heard that from my friends where he lost huge money in a night

They must realize that gambling is not a source of income which they can get the money after they playing gambling. They can lose their money anytime without any return from gambling. Besides that, they can frustrate because of the lose of the money. If they can not realize this, they will only gets deeper in gambling without seeing a way to get out from gambling.

Such psychological patterns are typical not only for casino games. And for sports betting too, and even for trading too. We know that, for example, in the crypto market, the bulk of inexperienced players come only after being impressed by the big wins of their friends or acquaintances. As soon as a large mass of inexperienced and non-professional participants comes to the market, crypto whales begin to unload their positions on them. Approximately the same thing happens in casinos. Big wins are relatively rare in casinos. But when they do happen, then the casino tries to advertise it in every possible way. People have a cognitive distortion - what attracts their attention seems to them to be an event that occurs more often.

We know that winning is what everyone who gambles wants, whether they gamble for fun or just to fill their free time. Everyone who gambles definitely wants to be able to win a large amount, besides that, many people gamble with the intention and purpose of wanting to double their money with a small capital and wanting to be able to win big, but we must be aware that winning in gambling is not easy to get. The statement about having to risk a lot of money to get a big win is not certain, the size of the funds wagered will not guarantee that we can get a big win because winning in gambling is based on our own luck. I'm sure out there there are people who can get big wins with the funds allocated that are low and vice versa.

Man's want is insatiable... They'll never be a time that someone would pass by such conversations without creating impossible assumptions and instances in their minds. I'd also wish it was me because, why not? let's assume that 100x equals a 100 grand... That's enough to explore a new phase of life even in the US as only 34% of people earn above that. So, if this happens atleast twice in a year, that's already alot of income to live comfortably....
Now, you see where our thought leads us to? Ignoring the fact that we have to fund our accounts for every ticket that rolls off, meanwhile the chances of hitting that multiplier is so low...
What works for me mustn't necessarily work for you.. moreso, i wouldn't get my informations on a shady site, talk more of funding an account...

I don't feel like being pressed, but I do hope I'll be winning same with others winning thar huge amount of moeny from gambling. Urging ourselves is not a good mindset, but what hinders us from playing same with other people is due to money to invest with. You need to gamble a lot of funds before you'll able to win such amount of money. Just like other players did, they'll always go to casino or access lots of gambling site in order to fulfill their desires and winning expectations.

Truth, self-control, emotional control, is primary important thing for everyone, especially concerning in gambling.
Well, related to the case, Rewards in gambling, which are in the form of profits, are the primary reason someone gambles. Apart from the fun, the rewards in the game are very interesting and tempting to try.

as explained here:
Source: Motivations to gamble

But unfortunately, gamblers unknowingly only see the rewards in other people, without knowing what they have gone through. Have you ever heard a gambler say:
"I won $ 1000 tonight, but actually I have lost $ 10000 previously."

This is what often happens, and when they just follow suit in gambling, the rewards that their friends get become something they imagine they will get one day. However, they cannot focus on the money they have spent. That is the danger.

How good to be true it usually looks like, but difficult to achieve. Gambling should be done without emotional attachment. The reason we often have issues in betting is the fact that we overly attach emotions to gambling. The moment we stay clear from exaggeration of life fulfilment through gambling the batter for us. Hence this particular reason is what kept many people into addiction. Seing gambling as a way of quick wealth or a get rich quick scheme and we later empty our account chasing the unknown.

Are you trying to say that since you started gambling you have not broken any of your gambling rules starting from the first one down to the very last one?
 
If yes, then lucky for you as making gambling plans is easier said than keeping it, which is why most people keep on running to their bank account to fund their gambling account more or their wallet.

That is why it's important for people to develop critical thinking and a solid autonomous personality, so they will be less influenced and persuaded by others, especially the so called social influencers who earn money to lead the masses into the abyss. If people aren't fooled easily, they won't feel tempted to gamble when hearing news about big wins, because they will know it's just a propaganda or that it's a very unlikely event to happen often.

News about big wins play with the fantasy and imaginary of the public. They don't think realistically about what is being presented to them, and that is the main mistake, because it leads to loss of contact with reality and potential harmful outcomes which can mean a nasty financial setback on their lives.

There are two different types of people on the moment that they do win up something big on which there would be those people or types that they do really want to flex or boast up their winnings publicly which dont care whether their friends or the public would really be able to see their winnings. They would really be that proud of on what they do have get or won atm. It will really be giving out that kind of feeling on which they will really be having those thoughts that it will really be something that proves out that they are lucky. For those people who do able to see around then it would really be that up to them whether they will really be having such
 kind of boost up of emotions on trying out to achieve on what those other gamblers been able to achieved?

On the time that you cant be able to control your emotions then you will really be that most likely be ending up on having such problem on where you would really be assuming that you could be able to get or experience
on the same situation or scenario into that someone whom you do able to look upon. If you wont really be that careful about your emotions and mindset then likely you will really be that desperately be doing gambling like a mad man on which you will really be having those assumptions that you could be able to win up on the same thing or situation.

The best way to gamble is not by expecting anything from it, because if we do expect something from it we might not be opportuned to achieve it. However, what you said is actually the truth on what can trigger a repentant gambler, it has happened to me, when I tried to take a brake on gamble for while, I stayed for 3 weeks or a month without gambling but when my colleague won a decent amount from his bet, and he told us how he won the bet with his prediction. So I retuned to gamble, but I risk what I can afford to lose.

This can also be a trigger to repentant gamblers... it's possible that they might be clean for weeks and after hearing about someone that hit a big win they might be tempted to go back into it. Gambling is a game of luck, just because someone wins a huge amount doesn't mean you are also going to win that same amount, trying to get the same results as others can make you have an obsessive addiction o over the game...As a gambler that's trying to quit don't let other people's wins trigger the urge to gamble because it's possible that you might not be so lucky.

I can confirm that 1xBet and 1xBit are connected. I was working in Evolution and we had 1xbet and 1xbit tables next to each other and I also know details about the deal but I'm not going to write details here. By the way, there is a difference between 1xBet and 1xBit. 1xBit is a scam casino and so was 1xBet but I think that 1xBet changed their strategy a few years ago. They opened so many tables in Evolution studio and have so many customers every day playing blackjack and roulette on their website, I think that they aren't scammers anymore but 1xBit is still a scam.

Good for you, you have that control, however, for those who don't, and then when they hear stories from friends or from watching streamers taking big win in slots for example, who knows what's going on their mind maybe they are going to succumb on those kind of temptation and then proceed to copy what they have seen.

And then they losses that kind, ouch, that is going to be a big mental loss too as it's been very hard to feel that losses specially big money or if you have no control already of yourself and gamble money that you can't afford to lose.

That's a very good tip. Don't compare yourselves with other gamblers who might be gambling all of their lives and are very well off and able to spend that much, win or lose.

Don't be triggered about hearing those massive wins because not all talks are real talks and just some words that they want to boast from their peers.

So, if ever someone out there is a real gambler with massive gains, I am sure that they won't let anyone know but just few of their friends so that they won't be thought as flexing their gains and they remains so very low profile.
