Topic: Unexpected wins vs expected wins, which excites the most? - page 2. (Read 739 times)

I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.

Recently, I placed a bet on sports match, and somehow, I was very certain I was going to win it, the match started and at the end, I won my bet, odd was 1.4, not going to mention the amount I used for bet, but I won a good sum, i wasn't all that excited because it's a winning I had expected, in fact, I would have been more surprised if I hadn't won.

Then I remembered that some time ago, I was playing plinko with a random balance that was remaining on my account, I wasn't expecting any winnings, I just wanted to have fun and empty my balance, I set the risk level to "high" and was betting $0.1 on each ball that came down, I can't tell how many rounds I've played but soon enough, my account balance that was below $5 was already $40+, this money was not near the amount i won from sports betting but I was overly excited, possibly because I never really expected to win this much.

This is why I've come to this conclusion that winnings that are unexpected are more exciting than winning that have been predetermined/expected.

I could say that the reason why you feel this way is because you don't play slot games a lot that have to do with your winnings depending on luck and not based on how you predict your games.
 
When you place your bet on wheel games where you can't determine what the outcome will be, how will you be sure that the game will be in your favour since you said you don't have any unexpected wins?

If I guess correctly, I think the instance that OP is trying to set here is when you have stake on some accumulator and at some point, you just lost hope that the game was not going to be successful because of how it is going already and after you have given up, you checked later and realized that you have actually won the bet. Although what you said is true, there's no gambler that wager some money without expecting to win, but what if you wager on the first go without expecting to win a jackpot but on your first try, you won millions of dollars from the jackpot, that will be surprising.

Unexpected wins obviously hit differently. I am yet to see anyone who doesn't get this huge excitement when  good things he least expected happens to him. Even though gambling is all about luck, there are days when one can really be so confident in his predictions due to his knowledge of the game or sport. A win from a game like that is usually exciting, ofcourse who wouldn't be excited to have won in gambling. But, no amount of excitement is compared to a win from a random game one isn't even sure of. A win is a win but there is a huge difference in the feelings when the gambler has already lost hope of winning.

Well from my experience of gambling, I think there is actually no time I do not expect to win but their is also that awareness that the lose is more higher in probability to occur because with gambling the results is more than expected wins so when the win does come it's so exciting because what that slim chance of the win actually came and sometimes the excited triggers more gambling habits making some gamblers think they can still replicate it and this makes them get into more shit.

It's like recovering something you thought you had lost.
