Topic: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. (Read 412 times)

You can never be assured of winnings unless the game has ended and you win.  In gambling, there is no terms as assurance, since the result in gambling is affected by random factors.  Even with sports betting which is highly affected by analyzing skills, there is always the thing called upset win.  So never put our hopes that high if the game is yet to be finish because we may found ourselves very disappointed if the result goes against our bet.

As far as I remember there is a thread here about a person loses millions of dollars for a single bet when he bets on a live game thinking that the team he chooses will win since that team has a huge lead against its opponent.  But in the end, the opponent wins and that person loses millions of dollars. So this is one of those saying that do not count your chickens before they hatch.

Often those who i see win big at gambling, whether they win the jackpot from slots or the lottery, are those who initially think that the gambling games they play are just for entertainment, but this mindset is difficult for many people to apply, because it is difficult to get rid of expectations to win, win and win when playing gambling, environmental factors and also culture actually play a big role in forming the mindset of each gambler.  Usually, people who are trained to gamble without winning are those who from the start have a stable income and also have emotional control. which is good and usually only people who are intelligent and have an IQ above average are able to do this, their discipline is really good.

Funny how people would think that winning would be assured because they won some of their games. It's all about luck and if one is accurate in predicting a few matches, he's most likely going to fail in one or two games. The outcome of matches can't be assured, by anybody. Big team can lose their games. People focus mainly on the big team, that's where they make their mistakes and lose upon other positive predictions, which spoils the whole betting slip of the gambler. No need to be mad about the results because the system works differently, and in football, anything can happen. The good thing about gambling is that the gambler will one day win. It's just that gamblers capitalize on losses so much, that they forget about analyzing their next game and preparing accurate predictions on the next match. It's been a recent thread, gamblers are losing more money recently from football matches. Sometimes it sounds like a planned work, or if the teams played in favor of the house to win over the gamblers.

But, don't seem to understand why most sports gamblers would win. Currently, after watching the Arsenal and Fulham match today, I was telling a friend that sports betting is simple to win compared to slot games. Because one could easily gamble on a lot of possibilities other than scores. Corner kicks, throw-ins, red cards, yellow cards, etc, are all betting options available for sports bettors. But most people gamble on win or lose which may be so hard to get correctly. However, it feels bad to lose after assuming that winning is on the corner. Yet, we all take responsibility and move on to the next weekend. As gamblers, nothing is under our control, other than the reactions, money, and time to gamble. The results are beyond us the gamblers, we can only take a lesson from whatever result we see in the gambling process. Whether to stake money on more games or just minimize the amount of matches we stake money.

Did I understood it the opposite? I don't think so and yes, that's just plainly twist for me whether it's good or bad, it's same IMO.

That's good if you rarely experience and you always take what's yours when you gamble or the profits that you should make. 

Understanding RTP or not, sometimes it's just pure fun and enjoyment that keeps on pushing the gamblers and that's why everybody does lose at the end.

First of all, first what stakes you play in your gambling. because there are many types of games that we can play, as well as all the features that are provided. well, almost every gambler focuses on every loss and ends up disappointed. actually, I can understand that. but if our focus is always on every defeat we get, these things can make your psychology worse. the most common impact is that someone has difficulty controlling their angry emotions and can even have an impact on the people around us. apart from that, you may try to repeat the same thing in the hope of winning and recovering the money you previously lost. honestly, I have experienced many experiences from gambling and one of them is based on what you tell in this thread. so, your experience is our experience too. not infrequently, we can experience this experience over and over again. yeah, like a cycle.

Based on my observations, most gamblers always blame the situation or can also blame the casino we play at. in fact, there are times when we are given a win but don't try to stop the game. or in other words, not withdrawing money for our winnings. in the end, after everything is lost, then we regret it, just like what you said. on the other hand, when we are in the winning phase, especially when we are lucky to get high profits. usually, we don't tell.  but if the opposite happens. we often brag about our losses, some blame the casino, addiction and so on. so, feeling frustrated is a normal thing whether in gambling or in life. most importantly, you, I, we, must not be lulled into it.

This has happened to me and it makes me very Angry , it is something that cannot be controlled and one always Wants to do better and achieve the Best , one day I stopped playing and I knew that if I bet I could be left without any money in my bank account or win and get money as a way to have fun all night at a nightclub, but that was not the case,What he did was take the most conservative decision and not win, that frustrated me because I made a very small bet and I won it, that is, if I I would have decided to make the bet anyway because I Would have won and yes, that is something that gives you a Feeling of guilt and makes you feel like a fool.

After I played again another day it was with that in my head, but I think that Despite that I made the right decision because if I had lost it then I would have felt worse, those are the things that I have always seen in my game, and I that one Decides in those Moments , even though it is so bad , the Decisions are the same and they are the correct Decisions for us.

Haha that's right, logically how can they say that the victory is guaranteed if basically the final result has not happened or that means the session has not ended and has not gotten a definite answer whether it wins or loses, in addition to the name gambling is always about luck, No matter where you bet even in sports betting which I admit your skills and knowledge can be very influential but as you say here that it still cannot be denied that it is very possible that the results at the end of the game are different, comebacks will always be able to happen and there have been many examples where the big team was defeated by a weak team even though at the beginning of the match the match was dominated by the big team and that is gambling which always cannot be predicted 100% if the game is not over.

However, if you have decided to engage in gambling then obviously whatever the result you must be able to accept it, victory is a result that is always awaited but defeat is a thing that will definitely happen because that is the risk that exists in gambling, so if you finally lose then you must be able to accept it, simply put if you are ready to win then you must also be ready to lose.

Nothing's guaranteed in gambling; why will it even be called a "gamble" if you have 100% assurance of the outcome? Basically we are all just betting on our fortune and luck. We could only increase our odds of winning but we cannot be certain of it. Obviously this should be a warning to never go all out with a single bet or even within a period of time; always manage your bankroll. Risk will always be present so at least anticipate the worst outcome and be careful of the amount you are about to bet; it should be within your loss tolerance. Reason? If you win, then you might have regrets of not increasing the amount but still with gains however if you lose, then you're just in regrets of betting that much. Safeguard yourself from disappointments. It will always better to earn a few amount than to lose it big time.Things are not the same to every gambler. On my end I still watch the game whether I lose or I win.Simply depends on your mindset as a gambler; I am using betting to add more thrill to my watching experience as a bonus. This is something you'll only achieve if you manage your bankroll well. But still, won't be applicable to all gamblers and all gambling games especially those who are into casino gambling.We also have our own perception on how we will gamble; we are all living under different circumstances in the first place.

Infact you've given the antidote that can kill your worries and panic when you bet on a match, I believe that it's best not to watch that match and accept whatever the outcome is, favorable or not. Because if you're watching a match that you bet on, you'll be so emotionally attached and very much anxious, you can not even be able to enjoy the match because any move against your bet can trigger a negative reaction on you. This is why it's very helpful to bet the amount that you can afford to loose, so even if you decide to go ahead to watch the match, you wouldn't be too bothered if the match is going against your bet, but it's highly advisable to not watch a match that a you bet a lot of money on to reduce panic and anxiety..

You understand the content of this thread in opposite way. It’s not the lucky twist but rather the bad luck twist because he lose at the end of his game after winning in the beginning.

I rarely experienced this on my gambling because I always stopped immediately whenever my winning streak is already broken or I can’t win anymore on a consecutive bets after experiencing an early good run. Anyone that is losing in the end after winning early doesn’t know how RTP works since you will surely lose in the end of gambling if you will never stop playing.

That is what you call the twist of your lifetime, joke but only twist. Honestly, it is one of the beauty of sports and gambling.

When you see your bet started to lose and you think that it is going to be until the end of the game but all of a sudden there goes a twist.

This is commonly known in boxing like lucky punch, one lucky punch indeed and that is the same with other sports, they all have this twist so bettors are affected too.

By being close to winning, they think they should continue gambling. They will think this is a sign for them that luck will come soon. They have to continue gambling so that luck will really come and help them win.

But after a few rounds, they lost again. That makes them even more eager to pursue victory. They forget that it makes them lose even more in the next few rounds. If they had been aware of it, they wouldn't have been willing to take such a big risk like that. They will just stop everything and leave the casino.

But that only happens to some wise gamblers because they think luck is not worth pursuing. Let luck come to them so they don't have to be eager to win. Moreover, when playing gambling, self-control is needed so that they know their limits.

That feeling is just one of the major reasons we have so many person with the hope of making huge wins, since they had the opportunity to being close to a win they think their luck is getting closer. This mostly happens in sport betting, most times we even see an extremely low odd of about 1.0 making a drastic loss. This loss is just so annoying and the hatred you have concerning the club who had the loss becomes even more increased. The entire day you feel like quiting gambling especially when you have had a couple of loss that period.

I remember when I was a kid I used to go with my grandfather to watch a local sport on which you could bet and there were a couple of times when he lost the bet when everything was in his favour because of a last minute comeback and he would get pissed off for a week. It's not that he made huge bets, let's say average for his income but I think the difference between the money he could have won and losing at the last minute was what got on his nerves.

I quite understand the feeling but one thing gambling have taught me is to be strong. The reason why I like gambling though not an addict is that gambling builds one to be strong because imagine when you place a bet that the possible return involves a huge amount and the events run to some point or the last game in sports betting and the game eventually cuts, your heartbeat increases and your body system and temperature changes then you start reminiscing how you would have won the bet and all that and let's say you've had such experience for a number of times you will find out that it will get to a stage where you will no longer feel sad or think about a lost ticket that involves a huge amount because you are already used to it.

This is human tendency mate. When you desire for anything and it was so close to you, but at the end moment if it doesn’t come to you, then definitely you feel very frustrated at that time. According to me it’s normal I would say. People gamble their hard earned money in the hope to make some more, hence if they lose it and that too in a winning occasion. Nevertheless it’s life and winning and losing always keeps going on. Hence you need to move on from it and need to be careful while gambling from next time onwards.

There's no way that your win is assured when the game hasn't ended yet, it's the name of the game after all and there's always a comeback when it comes to sports so definitely no way to be sure of a win until the game's over and yes it's definitely frustrating but I don't think that it should be the thing that's going to make you feel about the game the most, you at least should feel some admiration to the fact that they've defied the odds and they've won, I think that it's awe inspiring and admirable that I wouldn't be mad if it ever happens to me when I bet.

Upsets,turns of events, near winning situation which these things could really happen in a snap in sports betting and this what makes it thrilling and something interesting. It wont be called gambling or betting in the first place if it would really be just that easy to win. Expect the unexpected on which there would really be those kind of situations that could happen in a snap on which it would really be leading into that kind of frustration that you would really be feeling on for a while. Yes, this is part of the thrill when making up some bets on which there's no assurance or 100% chance for you to win, no matter how good or highly favorite your team/player is.
For me then it would really be just that hard when im still new on betting but on the time comes that i do gain up experience then it is really just that like an ordinary day.

If you do lose, then just simply move on and dont try to look back. If you are really that a type of person who do really love on taking things back and minding about the past
then that would really be stressful and something bring outs that kind of anxiety.

True, betting or sports betting is unpredictable to the sense that its because it is a sports we can never know what will be the outcome of the game so even if you are very sure who will win or you are already in the winning side you can never know if you will win until the end in short in sports there are many things that could happenz there are different circumstances that could happen in a game and that is something that we can't predict or for see so its normal that sometimes you will lose in a game that you think you will win, yes it is frustrating but that is betting gambling, we can never know what will happen until its over so we should expect the unexpected, the only thing we can do is accept what happens instead of sulking anf regretting because it will never do anything good to them.

That's how luck definitely works. we don't realize that what we expect to happen has changed, so sometimes it's hard to expect and talk about things until it's over. you will be really disappointed if that is the outcome. You seem to have the fun and excitement but when it comes to the end, it's like heaven and earth are entwined because you just lost. That's one of the reason why I don't expect much when I'm doing gambling because I experience that same scenario so many times.
