Topic: What I've learned so far as a gambler - page 18. (Read 2926 times)

I agreed, but gamblers are used to this word of " you are one step closer to winning a jackpot when you quit too early", isn't this the word that's perfectly fit for greedy gamblers? Your win can be around the corner when you quit too early but why care?

Also if this is even close to been true why is it that those who spent hours in casino playing one game after another all go home empty handed? I think the longer time you spent in a casino the the more dangers of you losing your money.

I don't visit the casino because I've heard a lot of things about it, all in the name of making their customers feel at home, how can you visit a casino and you are been served free drinks? It's part of their plan, to make you lower your guide, like someone said to me that casinos look very nice to make players feel relaxed but visit their bathroom you will meet some gamblers crying their eyes out, because they lose all their money.

Just be careful when visiting offline casinos.

I have learned so many things as a gambler, if I were to rate myself I would say that am not that much into gambling, but with my little experience in gambling I have learned not to be greedy, greed makes so many gamblers fail, just imagine a gambler having the mindset of using 10$ for example to win 10000$, is that not greed, his possible is that, if this must happen which I know that it rarely do, he or she has to increase the risk of making multiple options, at the end he or she will lose the said bet, how about selecting little option with higher stake, at least this may increase your chances of winning, this example is mainly for soccerbet bettors, the mindset of winning always, should be kept aside by a gambler because in the game of gambling losses must occur, it is part of the process, trying to recovers your previous loses can lead you into becoming a chronic gambler, so desist from such act.  

It's not simple to turn back and go when we have streaks of losses while owning some funds left in our gambling balance. Unless the player doesn't have few amount of funds left. They can be forced to immediately stop and go home. Then play when they have funds available. But, a person who hasn't finished their bank rolls, will still have to play more. The player needs to have discipline and self control to achieve such an attitude of stopping immediately. After losing a significant amount of money. Though it's not a bad idea to continue playing. But, to stay on the safer side, halting the game is preferable. Considering the profits as the only goal instead of a bonus issued to us to spice up the fun, it affects the player's behavior in terms of win or lose. Things might get worse when they see other users on the winning board earning more, they'd want to be like those players. Thereby, not controlling their emotions for more wealth. What I'm looking at is targeting a specific time to stop; limit. Like you mentioned. No matter the outcome win or lose. The fun can begin to diminish when we don't moderate it. Spending more than we should on what makes us happy can end up making us feel bad about ourselves. Which terminates the concepts of the fun, we went there to earn. That's why it's cool to go to casinos with our close friends, who can remind us about when to stop. And also alert us regarding how much we've spent so far. Most players forget it, and keep playing until nothing is left. You can't tell me that they're well aware of the diminishing speed their bank roll is racing at, and won't find a way to stop. Having a reminder, would be nice as well.

Well, that's really the best thing to do if you happen to double your money already. You beat the house so just quit, withdraw and enjoy your winnings. Sounds easy right? But hard to do especially if you're in the midst of excitement and you can't control your emotion.

Indeed. It's tempting to keep playing because of the thought that you can win more. Unfortunately in gambling, that's not the guaranteed outcome once you started to wager again. I experienced this many times before, and end up regretting my decision. So if I had the chance to profit in gambling, I refrain myself to wager again.

Sports betting is a good choice but most professional gamblers spend a lot of time and money developing statistical models while gambling depends on luck. Others spend a lot of money hiring many analysts and statisticians to develop a complex algorithm. The leading players in the gambling industry can attract large investors who can easily inject millions of pounds into the former to get sufficiently high returns. They never become greedy and know all the tricks of gambling whether winning or losing, professional gamblers can always indulge themselves in the rush of the game.

Yes, it is true that it cannot be denied that gambling depend on luck and in my opinion it is not easy to carry out gambling activities with the aim of making a profit if we are not really "lucky", and we also have to know that gambling will not always give you luck if thats happens to you means you really have the skills to master gambling in casino games.

I know that if someone is successful in gambling, they must use gambling with the skills they have and can control their finances, but I have never seen someone who is truly successful in gambling and uses their skills in what way.
I've watched YouTube with tricks on how to win at slots by getting scatters quickly and getting big money multipliers and I tried it myself but it didn't really work even though I tried it many times, these tips are just manipulative now think logically how We can fool casinos with tips that are spread widely on social media. It doesn't seem that easy. If we easily fool casinos, many gambling businesses will definitely go bankrupt, so in conclusion, if we are not lucky, it means we will continue to lose.

Majority says that gambling is depends on luck but some professional gamblers believes that it also comes with self strategy in playing, It requires a main strategy which consists of the decisions of how much to bet on the various games and when to quit. I agree that most of us doesn't follow the basic steps in a gambling because we are carried away on our winnings and and I admit that I sometimes become like that too.

Gambling is dependent on luck, but we can be on the profiting side if we know when to stop and take a break. Most of us don't follow it, just the wins keep us high and we go for increased bet value. The same ends our wager at the shortest. To be on the safer side better choice is to spend on sports betting than casino games.

Gambling is highly luck dependent, so if you are fortunate to have won a bet at a certain time it tell that you were lucky and never ment you were too good at the casino and have earned you the win. It's basically a lucky day for you although sometimes your experience and logic could help.

But most times it's luck dependent, but if you make vary calculative and logic picks, that way your are driving the odds in your favour and most often you could be lucky to win more than you loose but like I said earlier it doesn't guarantee your expertise with the casino because someday you would definitely have a fair share of losses gambling, but then if you are careful enough with your picks you get fewer losses than wins.

That's really the purpose of casinos, isn't it? The more the gamblers play, the more earnings come into the crypto part, which is the opposite of the gamblers. And I think other gamblers who enter the gambling house know this too, don't they?

That's why it's still good to play gambling without expectations. As mentioned, it should be fun only and nothing else. That's what we should do as casino players, so it's impossible because it's inevitable that there are other gamblers who are greedy and look them up in casinos as a source of income.

Really depends on what are your aims and hopes towards gambling because if you are really just that seeking for leisure thing then you wont really be finding yourself getting stressed on the time that you do play since you are really just that after for entertainment and leisure. Whereas, other people or gambler would really be that aiming for that different thing or intent on which it is really that making
money and this what most people would really be doing and this is where they do really become that addicted. This is why it would really be always better that you shouldnt really be aiming
for making yourself rich because its something that would really be that impossible with gambling. You cant really be easily be able to reach out such condition.

There are definitely other places where you could make money in the long term.

For instance, sportsbetting. Lots of people have made a living just off betting on sports by having a better model and/or having an edge over the casino through the form of promotions. There's also profitable traders who look through arbitrage opportunities in an automated way (e.g., on an exchange like BetFair).

If you are playing these games that are clearly -ev then you shouldn't be expecting to profit from them. Go in with the mindset that you are going to get some entertainment out of it, but that is essentially all it is.

i can very well agree with you here. one should set his limits before anything else, no matter if he is on the losing or winning side. that will give him boundaries on to what extent he will be in front of his games.
earning profits or have winnings, should just be a bonus and not the main reason why you are in this game. otherwise, you will continue to play up until you are satisfied with what you got, and normally you won't get those winnings.

See, that's both a good and a bad logical process in my opinion, and I don't mean to cherry pick on what you said cause I know by all means and intents this is a post centered towards teaching people how to be responsible gamblers, but in my opinion, I would change one thing about that statement, or at least make something more distinct and more obvious.

Every time you gamble, you shouldn't prioritize "earning profits" as the pinnacle of your entertainment and self-actualizing experience. The act thereof of gambling should be the source of your fun. Cause regardless of what the outcome of your gambling session is, and I know this because this happened to me as well, you'd end up going back again and again for more if you haven't instilled some sort of self-discipline upon yourself. That which will help you against ridiculous gambling impulses.

Maybe if most of us haven't experienced having this kind of temptation we may not really understand what's at stake for taking a decision in a critical time like this, the more we gamble the more we will always want more with gambling because no one would wanted to settle for less when they are having the opportunity to make more despite the high risk being involved, yet yiuy will still found out that some are taking their eyes away as if they don't know what's at stake.

Making money in the gambling was not the easy one,you should have the luck.So the gambling sites algorithm will match to your algorithm,it's easy to win the game on the lucky time in the gambling sites.But many gambler was not ready to accept the fact that the gambling was based on the skills.The thoughts always dominated the command from the brain,the gambler thought was over come by the command from the brain.This was biggest reason the gambler was advised to get some trips after the loss or gain in the gambling sites.So the gambler will get the clear mind set,this help the gambler to prevent from the continuous loss in the gambling sites.

Someone here on the forum said, your ideas and reproaches towards the casinos start with removing the signature.

If you think like that, you shouldn't promote a casino, because in reality the casino is a pleasure and entertainment, within that range there is a band of losers, but those players do not define the environment through which many make a bet:  fun, spend time, leisure, etc.

The failed player is the only one who complains, those who enjoy being in a casino are left with the experiences, etc.  And the professional gambler lives from betting.

Huh you say that they can make money on gambling? it seems that you really convince them to gamble if they want to make money, honestly it doesn't make sense, how can you say something that is uncertain and does not guarantee with great certainty? this is the wrong mindset and is not recommended for anyone who wants to enter gambling, if you bring the mindset and assumption that you can make a lot of money just by gambling then I say it's like you dig a hole to trap yourself.

Don't let your brain and thoughts run dominated by lust, because of course the casino will not easily give you a win unless you sacrifice a lot of money first then the casino will give you occasional wins of a certain amount and if you I'm sure the amount of your losses is still very large. Honestly, I really don't understand your statement, let's think logically and accept the real facts which have been proven and many people have experienced large losses. You must understand that gambling is nothing more than just a fun activity because the final result always depends on how lucky you are during that session. So it is not recommended to bring in a gambling mindset to make money if you don't want to get hurt, unless it's just for fun.

It's good to see that a majority of responses under this thread, writes about gambling for fun. The goal is also to educate more people to understand the effectiveness of gambling for fun. It's never easy to turn gambling into a full time job that earns us constant income. What we're expected to do as gamblers is, taking it gradually and enjoying the process; win or loss. No one with the right gambling knowledge would see it as an avenue to make quick millions in our accounts. Your last line is a good attribute of gambling. Playing with what we won and saving our capital. Then stop gambling when the won money is exhausted. Unlike just leaving immediately like OP said once we win the exact money we have wagered. It can remove the possibility of winning more that very day. Gamblers are never advised to chase losses as it won't help them on the long run. They can go home sad, and when that keeps repeating itself they could be exposed to addiction. A bad sickness for gamblers. When we budget our time and money, knowing when to stop will be easy. And when our win is enough to keep us rolling more, then we can keep enjoying the day. Then buying more time, and expanding the possibility of making more wins. Those players who have a bad day, can give it a break and try another time. They has never been a time guarantees players to win often. Hence, if our wins are less than our losses. And we ain't comfortable with it, the right step to take is to close our computer or go home if we're in a casino.

It's true! A lot of people end up losing in casinos because they keep on betting even after doubling their money, eventually leading to a loss. While some may be fortunate enough to win, most end up losing. To increase the odds of success, its recommended to set a realistic goal and avoid overcommitment.

Some individuals have found success by following a strict set of betting rules. These individuals have developed a system that allows them to make money consistently over time. Instead of relying on luck, they have identified patterns and trends in various games and have created a strategy to capitalize on them. This requires discipline, patience, and a thorough understanding of the games they are playing. By following their rules and sticking to their strategy, they are able to consistently win and make a profit without owning a casino.
