I wouldn’t say I feel pressure when seeing other people win big but certainly it makes you think ‘why not me’ and then go on to place more bets.

What I would say to create some balance is, you may hear about a few huge wins. But the people who are losing money, which there are lots of by the way, are less vocal.

you are right, but the fact that we often see is all about winning, because it is very rare for people to show their losing results, because you are a senior in the casino so it looks normal, different from the view of juniors.

It is very unnecessary showing that you lost a bet, nobody would console you or even have anything to say but showing your winning ticket becomes a big flex. There is often this urge to put in more effort and bet too often just to meetup the poster and go about flexing the win, this is something normal for every gambler but we should not allow ourselves to be carried away and chase after winning eagerly.

Some gamblers who couldn't make decision on their own would have made some decision all of a sudden because of the little experience they had from other gamblers wining, the next thing you hear from them as well is in using the same winning winning pattern those other people have used, or maybe because of a game having big odds and there is tendencies for winning over it, they would have forgotten that in gambling, its either we win or lose and one of this must happened.

I have been in this position a lot of times and. I must say that it's going to put you in the wrong state of mind, gambling out of motivation from other people's wins can make you lose money because you would be gambling out of desperation. Gambling in this unrelaxed state of mind isn't advisable, just because you heard someone won a certain amount of money from gambling doesn't mean you can also get the same results from it. You need to realize that luck comes when you least expect it, chasing after it might make you lose money in the process.

It's totally obvious that; that's what's going to happen because the main reason the person will jump into gambling with that casino in the first place is because of the type of winning he or she sees the streamers win, which can only mean one thing that they are rushing in their to do is to get their own share of winning, which can lead to some kind of bad decision, and the person can even end up using more money than they can afford to lose to gamble with since they will all be luge that winning is guaranteed and secured.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Crash games do seem easy with 100x wins but the reality is not so, sometimes when I see Crash game contests here people can make profits with 100x more and I am also curious and try it but what I think it never happens, I try to multiply it to 30x it's still difficult, so I now never follow other people's fun anymore because it is certain that the results will be different.

Regarding casinos that are suspicious, they should be avoided, maybe they don't see many accusations so they need to be aware of the fear that the casino will become a scam.

Although a few times I saw streamers who could go 100x in a crash game I would not try it again unless it was my own desire not because of the desire for other people's benefits.

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.

Check the circle of that group of people, some of them are either jobless and don't have a steady income, they are just looking for a way to make money and the person giving them that update of winning money from one particular casino knows how they will be inspire to do it, he knows how hungry they are otherwise, a real person with real sense of gambling will knows that such things doesn't existed, it's either the casino is been market to them to give a try or there is something like scam.

Quote

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.

Anytime I see people showing their winnings especially the days I took break from gambling, I feel like I'm not doing my best but then again, i realized that in gambling there is a price to be paid for gambling, you will lose while playing and you will win while playing too and probably those who have won has paid their price. In my own space and time, I will make the same or more than such and I don't worry myself over any gambling winning tickets, focus on your style until you win too.

Yes, of course, we will definitely feel the pressure as you said. If we express it directly, they will laugh at us. It is better to meet our friends or best friends so that we are not tempted by what is being said about winning.

Of course it's going to be enticing to gamble yourself when you see big wins.
Casinos know that and that's why they fund the accounts if their streamers with thousands of dollars at a time.

Streamers play risk free and of course casinos know this will bring them revenue by people who are lured in. It is important to understand that the human mind understands these patterns and if you want yourself to be safe, make sure you avoid thinking this way and stop it right on its tracks when it hits your mind. Just play when you have free time with money you were going to play anyway.

Those casinos or gambling platforms or places are indeed running a business on which of course it will really be just that normal that they would really be doing all sorts of things on which they do know that it could really be something that could spark out someones interest even if it means that they will really be that trying out to make those kind of exposure about having streams with those
influencers who would really be trying out to show off those big wins on which making use of those funded or fake amounts just to make it legit that those are those peoples real money but
actually it is really jus that funded. Some people might not get easily hooked up but majority would really be having that kind of boost up on the moment or time that they will really be having
that kind of encounter or awareness on how things works.

Such encouragement is indeed very natural and often occurs. Actually, it is not from hearing big wins from other people but encouragement from a friend who sometimes gives words like encouraging us to try gambling again.
Different from us in our own home and seeing big wins from other people. Surely as experienced gamblers, we will definitely think that it is very difficult to get. But it is very different from when we gather with our friends and hear them tell stories about big wins, our minds do think it won't be that easy but sometimes a friend seems to encourage us to try betting on the same game.

In conclusion, the surrounding environment greatly influences the urge to gamble. Unlike us who are far from the gambling environment, we will definitely be able to control ourselves better.

You Are The Average Of The Five People You Spend The Most Time With

That's why many people are influenced from their friends, if their faith aren't strong enough, they will try everything from their friends. It's why when we were young, we should pick the right circle because as we get older, we can distinguish between the bad and good thing, not like when we were young.

When our friends are born from the same place, going to the same school, etc but they're more richer than us, this will greatly influence us to follow what they do.

Information about other people's big wins certainly excites the imagination.

A person who has received such information begins to imagine how he will spend this money. He begins to consider gambling as a source of easy money.

However, this is a cognitive distortion. In order to get a more realistic assessment of this situation, it is necessary to use the methodology of the mathematical theory of probability. In gambling, the greater the risk, the greater the gain. In games based on luck, there are no exceptions to this rule. At the same time, the probability of losing in gambling based on luck is always higher than the probability of winning (on a long time frame).

You can and should gamble, but you cannot give in to emotions - gambling should be an absolutely thoughtful and balanced decision.

Before I joined gambling, I knew very little about it but it was after a close friend of mine won big in gambling that I decided to give it a trial and see if I could also win big like him. Fortunately for me, I won I my first three trials even when I have very little knowledge of how it works and than gave me the full conviction to fully engage in gambling since I thought it'll help me earn money easily but at the end, I lost more than I've ever thought I could lose. I know it's not easy to manage or control the urge that comes with hearing about big wins but before you engage in gambling because of the big wins of others, ensure you can perfectly regulate your gambling activities so you don't end up as a gambling addict.

Yes, many people have this desire, and not everyone can stop it. I read posts here on the forum from people who claimed that they knew someone in their village who won a large sum, after which their whole life changed for the better. Yes, this happens, but it is a mistake to think that if someone is lucky, then you will be lucky too. These people play in casinos and call the game earnings, and I just feel sorry for them that they do not understand such trifles and that the game will always remain a game controlled by luck. No one can subjugate winning to themselves, naively believe in a mandatory prize, and call their actions earnings.

The urge to gamble when you see a friend winning will always be there to try it yourself, and I personally will try it straight away even with minimal capital, at least to satisfy my curiosity, things like this make it very difficult for us to get away from gambling

It’s not actually a bad idea if you want to try it to yourself with a minimal amount. Yes, you may lose but at least only at a small amount. But if you want to satisfy your greed for instant huge winnings, believe me you are becoming delusional with that. No one wins an exceptional amount without losing a lot first, except for those rare lucky gamblers who only bet first time and boom, instantly hit the jackpot. But most of the time, those who make a huge bet end up losing an immense amount as well, so never fall with that trick and end up their new victim after you lose.

The only people who often do this style are the streamers who promote gambling; of course, the people who don't know anything, especially if they are poor and want to make money in a small amount that can grow because of playing gambling, will play gambling.

So that's also promoting the casino online on social media platforms. That's why I'm not in favor of influencers or streamers who promote online casinos
because they ruin a lot of other people's lives.

Mate, I know we want to share our insights but realistically if you had given a couple of strangers some unsolicited advice how much do you think will they consider your advice? They probably have their own biased opinion about the casino already. Though, if you know that it is sketchy, there’s nothing exactly wrong to just warn them.

We already know that sketchy casinos with unrealistic promises can attract the most gullible people in the world and no kind of warning can prevent them from doing stupid decisions anyway.

Big wins are something that is usually very difficult to get. In addition, you always need to consider how much money you have spent in advance so that one of your many bets will win. After all, even if we look at a lucky casino streamer and imagine that he is not cheating us (and in most cases he is cheating), how many times does he have to lose before he makes a profit?
Most likely, his losses will greatly outweigh his profits.
In general, the desire for big wins is somewhat similar to the FOMO syndrome in trading.
