Topic: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler - page 8. (Read 1238 times)
It's normal, you chickened out, just like many people do with their investments. Don't be too hard on yourself and think of all those who held bitcoin in 2022, but got scared and sold during the bear market instead of trusting their instincts. When you're in, you're in, tell that to yourself. When you bet you usually have everything planned out and then often get second thoughts. Learn to ignore it and have no regrets. Doing so will only make you feel better, even if you lose.
This is one of the reasons I hate cash out. This is also one of the reasons I do not like to watch any of the matches or their live scores until the matches ended. I have staked on a match before that the goal that made me won the game was scored in the 5 minutes extra time given and it was less than 1 minutes 30 seconds to the end of the match. Also can someone lose within that short minute. As for me, even if I am losing, I do not cash out. The money that is always offered for cash out is not always favoring.
Cashing is just like saying, if you snooze, you loose because what is the difference. Depending on my mood, I could watch the match I have earlier, some other time when I am feeling too tenses I do not watch the game. Waiting till the end of the game may guarantee a win and speaks to the personality of the gambler some of which are patient or impatience. By the way is there a statistics for those who cashed out before the game ended and those who didn't and their outcomes for both categories of people?
There are no mixed feelings here, it's as simple as that, and cashing out depends on the return itself versus the profit.
It's something like how sometimes the remedy (cashout) is worse than the disease, it's not worth it versus the gain it involves, so, man nothing happens, you just assume it as loss normal, next bet.

I agree.Sometimes the cashout option is great to use for example in a ticket with 15 games and you have gotten 12 correct it is a no brainier to cashout the amount and be happy with it rather than be in anxiety waiting for all the games to finish,this is something I always do when it comes to using the cashout option.
However in a simple multi like yours where you had chosen all the favorites or some really high chance bets with low odds and in such case it is better to wait rather to use the cashout option,anyway in sometimes if you thought like you will most likely lose the cashout option is helpful also but I would not use it in such tickets.
Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.
you wont be able to notice on what you are trying to achieve on here on which we do know that gambling is really just that for entertainment. There are really moments or times that you
would really be having those kind of hesitance and doubts whenever you do see some bets which you would be needing to make out some alter decisions in compared on what you had analyzed.
Taking profits or making even more bets? It would really be just that depending on you and its up to a gambler on how far he would really be able to risks up something.

There's a simple way to deal with the cash out dilemma and it's simple. Before you takes the action of predicting a game, make up your mind about cashing out, you either agree before you place your bet if the game is for cash out or not, no matter the direction the results are going in the middle of the game you won't be moved if the game wasn't initially projected for a cash out.
Another way to avoid the temptation of cash out is by avoiding to regularly checking the results of the matches you bet on, the psychology is that you will be troubled with each event at every minutes of the game that is not happening in your favour and if you aren't confident about your predictions you just end up cashing out less for games that would have played well in full time.

I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.
You will feel that you are doing it right if your 2 bets were lost eventually and you will not feel disappointed as you get your money back. Dont regret of what you did because you did not know what will happen with your bet. If you are a risk taker, you should not do cash out or at least you have told yourself that you will keep your bet whatever will happen during the match. Is there any option to do partial cash out? You can do it if there is such an option so you can still have something to wait and hope till the end of all matches.

I think what you are doing is right because you are trying to take back your money from the worst possible risk. However, because you should have won the bet, you feel angry, but try to imagine if it turned out that the match was lost, you would think your decision was the best.
I know it sucks and I would be angry too if I were in your position, but it has happened. There are still many matches to come so don't worry because you can still try betting again on other matches
You will be happy if the things as you expected so the important thing to remember here is you didn't lose anything that should keep you happy for now. And better not to look at the results of the games you decided to avoid such regrets or if you just want to go by your instincts then what really made you to cash out in the 83rd minute?
You can't live life with ifs and buts so don't make it as habit of blaming yourself when you can't do anything to change what already happened.

Don't be scared with the game results because there's more coming our way. I'm sticking to my instincts and gambling techniques because they will safe me in my bad and losing days as a gambler, I know how difficult it will become for most of to cope with the system. There are always pin down losses in the space but there's always a path to follow, we're in for the tremendous winnings and won't hesitate to grab any significant opportunities to win. Some gamblers exists in the space simply because they see their colleagues placing wagers, they just want to feel among and this is weigh out of the question.
Fighting the gambling system is not an easy thing, therefore we must stick to our gambling instincts and set limits for ourselves in gambling, because if we continue to force ourselves to win the bets we play even though we cannot win it will be better. We stop for a moment to gamble so as not to spend too much of our funds on gambling.In gambling, there will always be wins and losses that we will get and for those who can choose the type of gambling according to their abilities, it will be very possible to win their bets and for those who just follow us and don't place their bets, I think they are just curious. with gambling and will never try it.

Gambler’s instincts could sometimes be right or wrong, but if you are a responsible gambler, you will not ignore part of your instinct but will evaluate it first before applying it into your bets.
That's why it's called gambling, as there is no certainty to what might happen in the game and that's why the hard choice and call to take is always meant to be decided by you. Gambling is a game of luck and sometimes a game of mind because it's that risk that you take will show how gamble minder you are. And again if I were you I wouldn't be surprised at all because even the times that we might decide to go strong like a gambler and leave the game we still find out that the result ended in a loss.

But i understand the need for it, as trusting our instincts makes us happy, makes instict to feel more significant to us, and we get confirmation bias from every time our instincts were right. It's the same reason we sometimes hear people winning because they had a result revealed in their dream. People love to share those stories, but they never tell the majority of stories where the dream was wrong.
We don't like to think times when we were wrong, so we don't pay attention to those times. If we did, we wouldn't trust as much on our instincts. We have build instincts because they have been relevant in our evolutionary development, but you are misreading them if you think they are relevant to predict scores for games.
The mistake is you tried to risk your money to gain profit but you pulled it out with just ROI. You didn't really make anything from it. It's like you just wagered money so that's your only perk there.
It is true that we must be ready for the end result of what our instincts tell if we make parlay bets but if we do see a cash-out option, we can also take that as long as there is profit in it. I've done that a lot of times and most of them are in profits first so that the regret will not be too strong if ever all of it will hit. What happened to you was not like that, you didn't let it have fruits.
It's a waste of labor to analyze the games and then watch them with intense feelings.
There's a solution for this kind of problem, don't watch the games and just let the parlay be. There are times when we will be the barrier to our success, maybe it's better if we just leave it alone especially if we are ready to lose the amount we set for that gamble.

one of the things that for me is important when it comes to gambling, that is having confidence in my instincts especially since they are often right, also to avoid regrets like the story and experience shared by OP. It's funny to hear the experience that happened, but you can't help but regret it, especially if there's a lot to win. I don't like the cash out option the most because when you have it, you lose focus and there are changes in your mind because instead of your bet being fixed, there is a contrast in the decisions because we know that there is a cash out option and anytime you can take out the money you bet as long as there is still time.
Playing the instinct game is quite confusing at some points, because our instinct within us is right to some extent, but since this is a match and nobody is sure of what the last outcome would be, I don't think you should be sad for taking back the few funds you've won. The main point remains that you weren't patient enough for the game to end, also, didn't trust that in football, anything can happen. Hence, let's say you weren't satisfied with your action, as it played against your will, but the result may not have gotten you worried if the team ended up losing the game. Gambling works in different ways, and gamblers makes the most decision, when our actions bothers us, that means we are not bold enough to accept we thought about it all through, and had to take the decision for a reason, which you stated on your thread, not losing out completely your money, and that purpose you achieved, that should be enough to keep you happy. The rest is greed.

Predicting sports outcomes is tricky, and the frustration of cashing out too early is real. Maybe next time consider giving your instincts a bit more time before making decisions. It's all part of the game like learn from it and adapt for better results in the future
If you want to be fully happy with gambling, never bet against yourself, unless doing so will bring you profit. It's always fulfilling to follow your instinct so that at the end of the day, there will be no regret, especially on a parlay bet where you have to decide how many legs to compose.
The cash-out option is just one way to destroy your happiness, it's there for a reason, and it has not been favoring us gamblers. A parlay is hard to win, yet we choose cash out. That's wrong; we should have let it play and see if we win or lose because a win offers a big reward, and we should go with that.

For me, whatever you finally decide to your multi-bets, cash-out or not, just be grateful that you have won something and not go home as a loser. What if one of his bets lost, for sure, he will thank himself for cashing out early. So don't be too hard on yourself here, be happy for whatever outcome you got here.
The feeling of regret will always be there, as I've experienced that several times as well but should not take it personally as you won't move on from such remorse feeling.
