Topic: Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins - page 5. (Read 1481 times)

I can say that big wins never triggered me to run to offline casino and start gambling, or immediately open casino on a mobile and start gambling. Shoulnd big wins means that jackpot or any other major prize is already won and other gamblers have already missed their chance? That would be logical, as big wins dont come one after another.

But there is other thing about gambling and prizes. Whenever I am with family in amusement park and see someone wins a toy in claw machine for example, a temptation to get same prize appears almost immediately.

Yes, it means the key is self-control and limits, these are two things that can be said to be the key to long-term safety regardless of what type of gambling you visit, we must remember and understand that victory is nothing more than a chance and on the other hand the possibility of defeat will always be part of the game, meaning your intelligence in treating gambling is tested, such as stopping when you have managed to achieve a number of wins and securing that amount to enjoy, or stopping when you have experienced one defeat and continuing it at another time.

On the other hand, that is the advantage of this forum, maybe I can say that by being in this forum, at least we can know about the signs of a good casino to choose or which casinos should be avoided, this knowledge can also be spread to people closest to you who do not join here, at least to minimize the possibility of fraud, and so far Stake.com is still one of my favorites.

But the chance will decrease following with the situation where we playing gambling and not have a big chance to win. As long as we know when we must stop playing gambling, we will not lose too much. And if we can win, we must stop playing gambling immediately to avoid the next losses. I admitted that greediness will always be there but we can prevent that greediness becomes bigger by always control ourselves.

If novice gamblers can be careful selecting the casino, they will not get in a scam. They need to research to find the reputable casino that will not commit fraud and this forum provide many good and reputable casinos. If they can read many information from member's experienced in this forum, they will know how to avoids the scam casinos.

Or maybe not. Maybe they will keep playing which is when it becomes problematic.

I mean even the smartest people would not close the door if luck came knocking. We should know that money does not come out of thin air and instead comes from hard work and perseverance . But if luck decided to bless us then why would we say no?

Getting lucky and forcing luck to go your way are two different things. Once you know that you’re not going to be winning any time soon, just stop before you lose any more money

Not only with crash type games, but I think all the games provided by the dealer have the same percentage, which is as you said with 70 - 30. Although there are some games that do require players to have skills, it can be said that it is a way to increase the chances of winning, but it will not give players a greater advantage, the dealer's advantage will still be greater even though the player has good skills in one of the gambling.
I myself often visit local online casinos and I sometimes feel hesitant when I am going to gamble at the online casino that I visit by looking at its appearance, but of the many online casinos that I have visited, I have never been cheated, but to experience problems such as pending withdrawals or deposit processes often occur. I can't tell clearly which local online casinos are safe and which have the potential for fraud.

It’s pretty unfortunate, but it’s common for us to think that if a friend or a relative wins, we can win too. I don’t see anything wrong with that, but we can’t say we’re unlucky if we don’t even try. Honestly, beliefs like these are a test for us—who knows, we might just get lucky and strike it rich! That’s why we can’t really blame others for thinking the same way; they just want to find out if luck is real for them. Because let’s be real—if there’s no luck in it for them, they’d probably quit gambling sooner or later.

So, while it’s important not to be afraid to take a chance, we should also accept the fact that not everyone’s going to get lucky.

Nothing destroys a gambler's wealth like when he or she thinks that they can be like their friend who wins big from gambling. Many people have lost a fortune from gambling all in the name of wanting to win big like their friend and not quit gambling until they win a huge amount of money to cover their losses from gambling.

However, this mentality of winning big like others, most gamblers are beginning to see it as the common thing they can actualize someday. Whereby they forget that gambling doesn't work that way. It favors someone you know doesn't mean it will favor you also. Our luck differs, so it's our destiny. Someone shouldn't just feel bittered or worry that they didn't win big like their friend; rather, they should smile it off and gamble for fun as they ought to.

Crash is a type of casino game which means that as we know that casino games are mostly designed to benefit the dealer, the percentage is 70 - 30 which means your chances of winning are 30% so that's why gamblers lose more than they win regardless of the type of game they play. As you said that gamblers are often trapped in greed or various impulsive actions because they can't control themselves and their emotions, and maybe I would say that they are gamblers who don't know about how online casinos work, so know and understand first about what and how the activity you are facing is.

On the other hand, for novice gamblers, I think they still find it quite difficult to distinguish between which casinos are proven to be safe and which casinos have the potential to commit fraud, and when you are in the same environment but you have a little more knowledge about it, then of course it doesn't hurt to tell them at least about the characteristics of casinos that have the potential to commit fraud from your experience, I would definitely do the same when I was in that position.

There is no pressue with that if you just mind your own business. If you know more and better than of those people that are discussing their tremendous gains, you know wha to do. There's no need to stress yourself out from those people when you know what's the reality and if they're gambling with a platform that you know is shady at all. Don't meddle into their thing or if you want to, you can enter into their discussion by asking them if you can to.

I am not jealous or whatnot with people winning big amounts upon overhearing it. There's no need for me to get into that and will just quietly be happy about them. But if there's an urge and you want to talk about them and join their conversation, it's up to you on how you're going to introduce it. Otherwise, it's best to just take a sip of your coffee while reading people's reply in the forum or whatever you are reading or simply enjoy the moment you have.

Yes, that will looks easy to win Crash but the reality is not. Playing Crash needs luck and control yourself to take profit. Many times peole lose control because they are greedy to chase more winning and forget that Crash can make you lose.

I don't feel the pressure as that is not my business but if you feel the pressure, you can tell to them what you know. You can explain that the casino they use is suspicious and known as a scam casino. That can alarm them and trying to stay away from the casino. At least, you help them by not using the casino but if they still want to use that, that will not your concern.

You are right, the next question will be, 'why him and not me? And they will decide to try even harder, there are two sides to this though, it is helpful if you are watching a friend who is doing his best on everything and you want to surpass him too, this can make one to break boundaries and go far in life, but not in gambling, you will only end up hurting.

Some people also takes this too far, once a hated person get so lucky they will start to question themselves, because the feel they are better than the person they hate, and they will end up putting themselves in an uncomfortable situation, could go very bad or very good especially with gambling.

In this world most things won't go as planned, heaven has its way with everybody, and even if we are answering the same name our fate won't be the same, others are lucky doesn't mean you should too, the day a soul realizes that he or she is different from others is the day they will start seeing things differently.

They really have to market and paid those streamers thousands of dollars, because they know that it will comeback 10 fold for them. It's a booming business and everyone could be a victim as we all know that streamers are all over the place.


And for sure there could be local streamers too, we have one here in the Philippines who said to have won big. However, this guy is already a multi millionaire even before promoting gambling. And my friends says that he sign under him and he also won big. But he didn't show me proof of his winning, so I have doubts on this story as most likely it's not true. But the point is that he was influence by this guy and so these streamers are successful and we don't know many many have fallen for this trick already.

Right, that is really tempting for us gamblers, when we thought that we over with it, then when we hear or see someone wins big, we try to play and see if we can duplicate it. For two weeks though I was able to stop gambling, I'm not even touching some of the games that I played online like baccarat and slot games and roulette.

Unfortunately, I'm just too week as at the start of the week, I don't know, try to deposit $100.00 and I just lost all the money very quickly with those luck base games. So it's not that very easy to quit when everyone around you is screaming gambling. Like the ads that you see in your social media and again, those stories that you hear to your friends when you talk to them.

I understand what you are saying, it's certainly tempting for beginners and young people to watch someone winning big money and think they can do it too. It can really seem so simple and easy, but the reality is totally different. Everyone learns this over time and after losing a lot of money.

It's not often talk with younger people about gambling, but when I do I always mention all the dangers of gambling, especially when it comes to slots and other games of chance. Basically, I'm talking about the same thing I'm writing here. It's all fun & games as long as they risk what they can afford to lose.

I gamble I don't feel that pressure, my desire comes from within... I like to gamble. Gambling is tricky because money is involved, the thrill is at a higher level, and it's very easy to get lost in it... Winning and losing are part of every game, so people should be aware that they can very easily lose everything by trying to win the game.

I have been gambling for over 20 years, so I don't feel that pressure, my desire comes from within... I love to gamble.

100x in crash games can be obtained in many casinos, it's just how much capital must players prepare to be able to get a multiplier like that, because as you said it's hard to get even though it's possible.

What's worrying is clearly not only when you keep aiming for 100x in crash games but when playing at scam casinos, because even though players can achieve what they target, it's very likely they won't enjoy the results because funds cannot be withdrawn for all sorts of reasons.

Tell them if you know them or give them a link to news or review about that casino so they can be careful or even look for another casino to play at.

Tempted of course bu I'm never feel under pressure when I see other gamblers getting high results because from those results we don't know how much has been lost.

That's right, with those who experience great losses, it may be precisely those who find it difficult to accept reality or indeed cannot accept the reality that occurs such as defeats that occur more often than wins, it should be with such incidents, for example, such as him experiencing defeat more often and with his friends not requiring a lot of funds can generate profits from this must be seen that everything depends on one's own luck, we ourselves can get victory with funds that do not have to spend a lot if it is time for luck to be on our side. Unfortunately, in my opinion, many people do not care about this, they only focus on what they think, namely the thought that they can get a big and bigger victory than other people around them. However, things like this tend to make them in a sad point, because the rarity or difficulty of victory is a reality, so no matter how hard you try, it does not guarantee that you can get it easily.

Two things that play on a gambler's mind if he is going to do this, and these are greed and envy, especially if the gambler happened to be a newbie. Gamblers have one time or many times had their ego provoked if people they know hit huge wins; some gamblers had a hard time accepting the fact that others are winning easily while for them it took a lot of betting to win; they are driven with the thought that they can do better and had a better strategy.

Fortunately for me, I'm not gambling if I'm hearing some big wins here and there.

We know that x100 is very hard to achieve on a gambling game, and TBH, whenever I hear (or in this case, read) people winning big in gambling, I just feel happy for them, but I don't feel any urge to do it as well because I know the possible risks that I can face whenever I do the same. As for the suspected casino that you're saying, I guess they just rebranded and targeting your region but nevertheless, telling them that it's a scam is a good thing especially if you see something suspicious.

Don't gamble because you hear other people winning. Gamble because you feel you need to, and you have spare money to use for gambling. These urges that you might feel whenever you hear somebody won huge money might be the reason for you to lose significant amount of money.

That’s why most addicted gamblers do find it difficult to stop, because they are just always having the confidence that if they don’t stop gambling, then time will come when they are going to hit a jackpot, they are always being motivated by their fellow gamblers that if they don’t give up, they are definitely going to hit a jackpot, and most of them do see other people’s wins, so it’s always motivating them also, but they don’t know things don’t work like that, you might be gambling for a long time, and you won’t even hit a jackpot, sometimes things like that happen when you don’t even expect it.

And its part of marketing with these kind of businesses on which they would really be using up this kind of weakness of humans on when it comes to the love of money or simply being greedy.  They will really be that making it as attractive as possible on which they will really be able to hook up people to play and make out some deposits after they've seen those influencers who do make out some big hits. It cant really be denied that once you do saw these big wins then you will really be that assuming that you could easily hit it up or do it and this what urges you to make out some deposit and would be trying out for yourself.
It wont really be called marketing stuff if it wasnt really that intended for the sake trying to hook people on making up deposit into the platform. It will really be just that depending into a certain individual since
not all will really be having that kind of losing control whenever they do see some big wins. There are still people who do have that good self control and discipline on whatever that they are seeing online.
They cant really just make themselves make out some outright decisions on which they do know that it could potentially put them in harm.
