Topic: Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins - page 9. (Read 1476 times)

Any of the methods people use in making money today are always full of temptation from those that are not engaging in it, both legal and illegal means of making money are all involved in this stereotype. I have heard this for a very long time now that all fingers are not equal and so, you should not expect to achieve the same success or wealth as other people may achieve when you try the same thing they are doing. You shouldn’t be tempted to try anything you’re not ready for mentally and physically. A lot has happened with stuffs like this and people should not fall victims of this type of things.

 At the point you see yourself wanting to do what others are doing to make money after seeing their big wins, you should know that it’s temptation that is pushing it, don’t fall for it easily in order not to lose that money. Those guys having that discussion of trying a new casino that is related to scam needs to be told that they should not try it out, it is now left for you to either tell them or not as this has to do with your own kind of being and how you feel towards people when they’re onto the wrong direction. The feelings you’re having is mutual and almost everyone that is into gambling or some other means of making money are having that feelings to try what others are doing in order to make money too.

If you are feeling pressured to play whenever you hear news like this means you are easy to get addicted since you can’t handle yourself when it comes to gambling.

Gambling is form of entertainment which mean you only need to play whenever you want some fun not because due to others story of big win. It’s normal to feel positive on your own game whenever you hear lucky story but not to the point you will be pressured to play immediately.

You should gamble based on your own feeling that you like not because you are motivated by others.

Whether we deny it or not, most gamblers are tempted by the thought of money, especially when a friend or relative wins big. It makes us want to try it ourselves, just to see if we can experience the same thing. The temptation is real, and that’s one of the reasons why people, even those with no knowledge of gambling or awareness of scam sites, still get involved. It’s unfortunate, but in my opinion, it’s also a good learning experience. It helps them understand the reality of gambling, because many think it’s easy to win, but the truth is, it’s actually much easier to lose.


You'd rather say the name of the casino, as it is not promoting but instead gives awareness to the public. And it was just like that, as you also save a lot of gamblers from not falling into the trap of scammers.

I completely understand where you're coming from. And I think it's important that you be aware of those red flags. The lure of huge 100x returns can be really tempting. Especially if people around you are caught up in the hype. It is easy to forget the level of risk involved. And more often than that It often makes you fight back. Hearing stories about quick wins can stimulate the desire to get involved. But as you said It's not that easy.

However, the fact that you know the shadow of casino practices is a huge advantage. It is worrying how many people fall into these traps. Especially when they don't take the time to research the platforms they use. When talking about online gambling It is essential to stick with licensed and reputable websites. Although it is difficult to prove that something "too good" must be completed. Perhaps here we can start a conversation about how others deal with gambling impulses. Especially when they are aware of the risks. It can help people hear different ideas about how to stay grounded and not fall prey to fraud.


I agree with you on this! Many of the people fall into the trap that they can screw things up. Especially when they hear of great achievements of other people. It is easy to forget that basically, gambling is based on luck. and the door will always be there. This makes winning consistently nearly impossible in the long run.

So the fun of victory can, in a way, be decided in the clouds. People feel they are in "Hot trend" or it must win This can only lead to unsafe bets and huge losses. That's why gambling responsibly, as you say is so important bet only what you can afford to lose. And you won't chase losses. Perhaps I can even tell you what strategies people use in their effort to control this gambling behavior, and avoid falling into the trap of such a mindset, as it all pertains to the good balance and letting your emotions drive your decisions.


Thank you for sharing your story. I can avoid stress completely! It is amazing how social factors can stimulate the desire to be satisfied. Especially when you hear stories of big wins it makes you feel like you're losing when you are. You're not doing your best. And it looked like an early win. It will help strengthen that feeling. And that makes the comeback even more difficult.

It's great to see you recognize your stress and change your habits. I think a lot of people fall into the trap of chasing that big win. Especially after hearing other people's success stories or experiencing it yourself. But as you said Gambling under pressure or outside factors can quickly become a bad habit. I still gamble too. But I've found that setting limits and knowing when you're stressed is key to staying in control it's a matter of balance enjoying it without letting it overwhelm you. I'd like to know how other people manage that balance.

it happens a lot of time and if you're not careful, even when you had no plan of gambling that day, you might end up trying your luck to see if you might get lucky with the game or not. You might think you're emotionally strong to resist such urge untill you literally get into that mix and they talk about the game as though it's impossible for it not to enter.

It's something that happens and even if you fall for it it's not like it's going to be all that bad except you allow yourself to gamble with an amount that's far above your budget. It's best to make it compolsary that you can't go above certain limit so you're certain that for that moment of being vaulnaurable, you're still gambling with an amount that's of your limit which is what matters most at the end. Don't be supprised that you might get lucky to win the game on that said day you decided to follow such urge if gambling because of stories of big wins.

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.

People who assumes they can win something that is purely based on luck is having delusions and probably due to someone they knew managed to win but gambling doesn't work like that, one can only win if they are supposed to win and I wouldn't take any risk because I am expecting more win and the same way is the safest way to maneuver in your gambling career if you don't want to bust your savings or salary of a month just because you felt some stupid sign or whatever it is.

It is always important to practice the responsible gambling behaviour, bet the smallest amount that will not hurt you in anyway even if you lose the bet.

Fortunately, I don't put emotions into gambling and I just keep betting with small amounts, something really for fun, but I know people who used to play with small amounts, but after seeing people betting on social media groups and seeing photos of big wins, these people I know started copying everything they were seeing on the social media group. They started thinking that gambling should be about big wins. I remember that one day I asked them why they weren't looking at gambling just as fun anymore. Their answer was: it doesn't make sense for them to spend time analyzing the games and then win a little money that won't change anything in their lives. That's why they were placing many teams in the multi bet because that way they could win a lot of money if they got it right.

Every time I quit gambling for a while it is funny that I almost always stumble on some streamer in streaming platforms or even go play for fun in the providers website as a cure to stop gambling with real money, when in fact it is exactly these sites that make me go and try again, for example yesterday I was browsing No Limit City slot machines in their official website and I never took the time to control thoroughly there yet yesterday I did and they had a lot of replays, video wins and a lot of other things that made me go and try again and the result was the same, broke as always. So these type of big wins are false positives, like when for example you have a false sense of security when you go into an exam thinking you will pass and in fact you fail, I am totally against these type of "so called big wins" as they lead only to mass destruction of one finances.

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.
