Topic: Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins - page 4. (Read 1476 times)

Truth to be told I'm not from the class of those who are in competition with other  gamblers. Should I hear from someone that he got 100x returns from gambling I would congratulate and appraise him  but wouldn't  succumb to the temptation of the immediate gamble. I feel more comfortable to proceed   when desire for gambling comes from inside of me.

Self control is something that can prevent you from the urge to gamble especially when you already win. You will know that you don't have to keep playing gambling and decide to save your win money by quitting gambling. You will not see the chance the next winning from gambling while you have a chance to enjoy the win money. When we already win, we must not lets gambling tempt us to gambling for more but we must look that as a way to withdraw the win money for ourselves.

Choosing the right casino is a must to prevent a problem and we can choose that from this casino. We have many casinos in this forum so we can choose one or more to use to playing gambling.

Indeed, basically we ourselves must be responsible for our own actions such as with the gambling that we do ourselves, many cases of losses or bankruptcy of someone due to gambling are due to their own actions which are too ambitious to get victory in gambling even though victory in gambling is not certain but they force themselves to get it and clearly it makes them lose a lot of money because there is no certainty that victory will be easily obtained. In addition, it is also unethical to blame the casino for what happened because the casino only does the best for its business and this is a natural thing because all companies will definitely do their best for the development of their business and they will not force their customers to do it excessively. We know that victory in gambling is based on our respective luck, if indeed our friends win in gambling while we do not, then what must be done is to be aware of the different luck, not to be jealous until we continue to gamble because we want to get the same or even greater victory.

Yes, it seems that I can justify your opinion that when you are a gambler and you hear discussions that you hear from other people around you who talk about winning, then yes, it can encourage you a little to also try it, the point is when you are a gambler, especially when you are a gambler who is already addicted consciously or not, when you hear or see anything that smells of gambling such as hearing other people's discussions, seeing other people who are gambling or seeing gambling broadcasts carried out by streamers, then it will be able to encourage you to try it because of curiosity in your mind.

On the other hand, this is also one of the things that hinders the process of someone's recovery from addiction or makes addiction more difficult to overcome, therefore in some of my ideas on other topics about addiction I always say that if you really want to recover from gambling then the main step that is no less important is to eliminate all access that can connect you to gambling, not only delete your local bank account but also change or limit your association with the gambling environment, try not to see or hear anything that can remind you of gambling, I have experienced it.

It is not simply just win hahah I also hear that heck I even saw lately on my page in youtube Instagram and tiktok when people is winning so easily just in couple of minute. Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins and yeah I also know this feeling especially after watch those guys win big.


I also curious what the casino that raising so much red flag lately can you DM me Im just really curious about it haha.

Quite ironic you talk about it, because there are several casinos and bookies which like to show the bets and wager of the high-rollers in the front page of their websites.
One must wonder whether it is some kind of strategy by those behind the marketing and PR department of the company to incite newcomers to try to wager as close was possible to them (even if they are not in the same league of those high-rollers).
Anyways, I think they advice you are giving out it is quite good and something all newcomer into the gambling world should keep in mind if they do not want to end up penniless and chasing for past losses.

It is not a coincidence it is possible to filter the highest rollers of the casino but it is not possible to do the same with the tiny rollers, there is definitely some psychological element going on in the background.

We should be accountable for our actions and not blame the casino for using marketing tricks on us because if we don't allow the trick to work, it won't work despite how many times they try to convince us to gamble. All business have their marketing tricks that they use to get more customers. Casinos are business and you shouldn't expect them to not try to get more customers by being clever. When we feel the urge to gamble because we saw others become so victorious, we should take a step back and think again and always remember that when one gambler becomes successful with a style of gambling or any strategy that they use, it doesn't give a certainty that anyone that use that same gambling method is going to become successful too. If the same gambler repeat the same strategy, they still mightn't win again hence we shouldn't be concerned about when others are winning.

As a responsible gambler there are obviously a couple of things you should try as much as possible to avoid. And one of them is comparing your gambling activities with other people especially in terms of how much you stake. Every gambler has a distinct bankroll and that is also used as a fail safe measurement to actually know how much you are staking.

For example a guy staking around $1500 weekly could very well be ok and rational depending on his bankroll. How ever someone staking around $200 a week could be staking way above his means and this is the more reason comparison really doesn't help.

When a gambler hears such a discussion from a distance, he himself is encouraged. He was then inspired to take up gambling. This happens almost exclusively among gamblers. There are some gamblers who try their best to get 100x or bigger returns from gambling in their meditation knowledge. But the results are not always in their favor. Perhaps for some reason he is temporarily away from gambling, but when he hears the story of someone winning in his own ears, the hope of winning comes again in him. I think a gambler should keep gambling under control. Because if you gamble after hearing about winning, the chances of losing will increase. Not everyone has the same luck in gambling, so claiming to be lucky if someone is lucky it would be a mistake.

Your subject wasn't what I expected in the content. What I was thinking is the usual display of winning ticket of casino games by some influencers making you want to bet. I have couple of guys that are very good at winning casino and are very influential, they literally post every games they play and show their winnings later and this makes me wish I had played the game and makes me want to play the next game they posted but when the time comes, I just change my mind.

If the people involved in those casino are people you know, why not share your red flags with them, you will be doing them good by telling them to avoid the casino instead of putting all energy and money there that will probably end in cry and regrate. Tell them the truth that you know even if they don't want to listen, if it it's true later, you conscience will be clear and if you are wrong, nothing spoil it's because you care that's why you warned them.

That is how casinos get to win a lot of clients, if every single person that visited a casino lost, the a casino will go bankrupt not soon after opening their doors, however every single night there are several people that get some nice profits out of the casino, share their story and this motivates other people that may have never thought about gambling before to do so, generating more revenue, bringing more clients to the casino and sustaining their business model in a way that it will not be possible otherwise.

So funny but it’s really a serious matter, we get tempted easily just by hearing about other people’s wins. Gambling is very tempting and the risk is very high to make such amount of money, it takes a very disciplined mind to withstand the temptation and it even gets worse when we hear someone talking about how they recently won a huge amount from betting you will feel motivated to bet despite knowing that to win such amount is almost impossible and most of them have been betting their whole life to win such amount.

people shouldn’t fall for such statements some people might just be trying to lure you into in their scam casino in order to scam you. We should always be vigilant not to fall for such scams and always use reputable casino to gamble.

Sometimes after you must have dropped gambling for awhile and then you hear about how someone got a hug wins during gambling you'll be ignited and want to give a try again, this scenario happens to alot of person even myself and you'll definitely will be like if the person won this I can do it as well since the person doesn't have two brains. So it's very tempting and will possibly lure the gambler especially the one that has been addicted to go back doing that same thing.

I see people who gets triggered by someone's big win as dumb and jealous people, because they fail to understand that your luck and that person's luck is different and we are humans with different faces, which means that what worked for me might not work you. This is the reason why all fingers are not equal. It is a norm that gamblers can start a session when they hear someone just win big, which is one of the reason why people easily get carried away and fall for those influencers who deceives them on social media that it is easy to make profit from gambling.

This i true, gambling, winning is mostly by luck we only bring in strategies to further increase our chances of winning and not just that we are sure we are going to win based off our strategy but importantly we can still apply some restraint as you do so we don't get addicted which is one of the most dangerous points of gambling which almost no gambler should get to as it's so damaging and can cause a whole lot of harm than good.

Self control is what is required for us not to be too urged when we see big winnings like this. Every gambler always anticipate for bigger wins and whenever this is heard from people around it friends, it can trigger our interest to bet more so that we can earn similar winnings. If we are not disciplined, we can because of other people's big wins go and look for more especially when we don't have enough funds to gamble so we can as well have similar results. It takes serious and experience gambler to over look this kind of scenario because they have passed through this stage where little winnings from others increase their urge to keep betting.

If you are a type of person who do really that easily get hooked up or being hyped with gambling wins by other people then this do really shows that you are really that having that
some gambling urge on which it could really be leading up to addiction later on. If you wont really be that careful then it might really be that causing up for you to end up on a disaster.
Temptation and urge will really be just that basing up on how good you are on controlling it on the moment that you do encounter those huge wins and sees up on other gamblers.
There would really be that kind of jealousy deep inside because you do want on being a winner too but there would really those people who are good on self control.

I can get tempted to gamble when I hear stories about big wins, but I always control myself not to gamble if I didn't plan for it. I don't just gamble on the spur of the moment, I've disciplined myself to only gamble on the day that I planned for it. It's a strategy that I use so that I'll not be a serious gambler, although I can sometimes break the rule but the point is that I don't just gamble because I've heard about a huge win. I've studied how gambling works and I know that winning is by luck, so I try not to be moved because I heard about a win, it could be the person's lucky day.

There are somethings I learnt about gambling which is never to use what you can't afford to lose to gamble and no much emotion should attached because if I say don't attach emotions, it is almost impossible for a real gambler not to attach emeotions in his gamble.
People are likely to be moved with what they hear or see as the case may be but sometimes what we see may not be practical when we eventually involve ourselves in it, to me I know that losing is part of gambling and there is nothing anyone will say to convince me to gamble with what I can't afford to lose no matter how real or enticing a gambling story looks like, I think is high time we start seeing gambling as it is, in every gambling session two things are likely to happen, is either you lose or you win and among the two event that may occur, the one that has a high tendency of occuring is loss, though am not against gambling because i gamble too but we shouldn't see all the story of how fortunate some people has been in gambling as truth because I come to understand that promotion are done everywhere since we don't even know who is who again.

That's the point, they will definetely use does scam casinos to give their examples and don't fall for it because if you do, it will be a disastrous one as that, no matter how tempting it seems to be, I don't think is worth anyone wasting their money for, personally I bet on sportsbet and I have some gambling sites I bet with, so as it stands no one can deceive me even though they do I won't use morethan what I can afford to lose and that has has been my stand.

I have also succumbed to this several times, seeing the victories of my friends. But if you ask how long they waited for their win, then most likely their wins will not be big, considering how much money they spent before. I have seen gamblers for whom winning is important as a fact and not as a result in a financial sense. It is also difficult to compare their amount of effort with those people who play from time to time without attaching much importance to the results obtained during the game.
