Topic: When betting becomes to high - page 15. (Read 3463 times)

It seems that most gamblers experience it themselves including, and all I experienced was high curiosity because it looked easy but I kept losing so I kept betting and until I raised the bet and slightly hoped to make up for the loss.
and what I regret after my money runs out is that I use the money I set aside for a month's needs because it happened at the beginning of the month, and after all the money runs out I regret and realize why it can be like that because it usually isn't like that. And in my opinion, although we can control ourselves in gambling and be responsible, and can also control our emotions and so on, and it is undeniable that there are times like that, surely we will experience them.

that's what casinos offer gambling lovers. Some gamblers may change games frequently when they feel their luck is running out. but most gamblers have a habit of always playing only 1 or 2 games at the casino. and that is done until the money runs out.
even more, gamblers also feel what the OP feels. because enjoying the game at the casino is fun. That's what makes the gambler lose control of his time and assets.
be careful, this pleasure that is hard to stop can turn into a very harmful addiction.

Yup, i've been there several times before as i've had days where i'm about to end the week with a good profit then the next day all of those profits would suddenly go back to the casino including my bankroll just because i'd lose 5-10+ times in a row. I might've mentioned it on another thread but consistency is really needed and you need some set of rules to follow so you don't go back to those bad habits which could quickly ruin your gambling budget. This thread might provide some help even though the topic is about sports betting, some of the tips can still be applied even if you're playing casino games.

You maybe chasing to regain what you have lost. This is what happens when you have lost alot and the game is no longer fun because you are now focused to get your part of money back but something funny can happen that no matter how you chase on that day, you can't get back the lost margin and the best is to work on the habit of addiction so you can have the will to stop when you want to stop.

OP; I have not fallen into the use of my finances but of my money available to bet, even not only from the bankroll, but from that extra to cover unexpected losses and it was in poker in a game called Zoom, I don't know currently but you could open a maximum of 4 tables for those years, I no longer play at the Red Spade (PS) nor do I have the rhythm of those years but the volume of hands per hour was (or is, I guess there is still that modality) between 800-1000 hands (4 tables), when you play poker, you know that in the long term run you accommodate your profits, whatever, I got hooked, I played more time than I should , anyway, I used to, so the losses increased as I played, that is, even playing nl2 and nl5 my bankroll was exceeded so many times that at a certain point I was about to resort to money that I did not have destined to play poker.

Important, played at the lowest limit 0.02 and 0.05 (zoom) but I left my comfort zone, I started playing a new modality, for all players, that type of game was an innovation at that time, so , as simple as any other style, I had to adapt myself in a modality that I did not know and from which numbers were just beginning to be obtained, fortunately I used poker traker (PT) and after several hundred thousand hands to improve things (bankroll), according to the analysis of the data obtained from PT, I should play more hours/day, so thanks to PT I was able to realize that despite being at  ROI red, the best option was to withdraw from this new modality called zoom.

The modality (zoom) was not adapted to my style of play, so I let it go, I didn't want to change my playing style from the traditional tables and adapt to a new modality for daily play, it can take months, even years.
So, sometimes I played it but to make a wager pending the end of the month or experimenting on other levels, but it is certainly quite addictive to play a hand of poker every second.

In general, one believes that the fact of being aware of a certain betting niche makes one an expert, but any small change that is made in what works for you can bring you great losses and sometimes you do not understand it because it is something that always It has worked for you and that same confidence leads you to be wrong for weeks or months, so review your betting habits or have access to game data and analyze it not only in how much you lose or win, there are many variables to look, and those mistakes are confused with the classic bad luck.

On several occasions, I have gambled more than I expected on betting. I bet mostly on virtual games, for quick money. It was like an addiction back then cause I do bet until I finish my finances there, that's when I will only rest for that day. The only solution I came up with was starting to go to betting shops with less money that I can afford to lose willingly, not minding whether am losing or winning. Since then till now, that's the strategy I have been applying

I've experienced it in the past and it hurts to see all the money gone on the gambling table. At that time, I saw gambling as a place to have fun when I had nothing else to do. I decided to gamble for $10 but in fact, I spent $20 more because I enjoyed the game too much. Even the defeat I experienced did not make me stop playing. And instead took the funds in my account to continue gambling. This also happens to many people because gambling can tempt us and we will easily follow the whisper in the ear to keep trying. But in the end, if we are unlucky, we will lose the money without being able to recover it.

Yes definitely- I sometimes called and refer to it as the "cycle of gambling."

Unfortunately, the basic instinct of a person whenever he/she experiences a loss is to quickly recover it through gambling again. This creates a cycle wherein a person would have this hope of recovering all of his losses but in reality, he would just incur more losses in the process.

Unfortunately, this happens too many often and the remedy is to actually bring someone with you to act as your "limiter" in order to avoid going on with your limits. Another remedy is NOT to bring your credit card and only to bring a handful amount of cash to prevent from overspending.

Betting big amounts to recover small ones is really risky, some times it works but some times it get us on a deep hole.

I remember in the old times when bitcoin worth close to $500, i was losing 0.1 btc and decide to bet 1 btc to 90% chance to win. I was lucky and recover the 0.1 but wasn't a smart move at all. And i remember the time when i lost 0.5 btc trying to recover 0.05 in poker, that day i feel terrible, but it's the way that gambling works.

I would wager to think that thats a human experience that everyone has gone through. A very unpleasant way to rediscover your own weaknesses but I cannot think of a single gambler in this community who has not had the displeasure of going through their funds, more than they expected when they started the day.

Its fine. Everyone is only human. Live and learn.

If anything, it serves as a more or less slightly painful lesson not to do it again. I would think that I am a more careful gambling enthusiast because of stupid mistakes like that. At some point you see the money losses as "lesson fees". 

You can always come here to vent, though

I don't think it's a general syndrome. I have never gone beyond my limit even though i get the urge to recover loses by staking more. What i do most times is make weekly deposits and once it gets exhausted i wait for a new week to commence . This has really helped me

I remember the first time I played online slots I got hooked on it. That's also the first time I stayed looking on my monitor for hours watching how the slots are rolling even though it was automated for a thousand rolls. 
But luckily I didn't do it the next day. It felt wrong to me. Being idle like that and not doing anything is a waste of time and worse will leave you with a sore eye and an empty wallet.
I got the idea though on why others are getting addicted to it, it's nice to see when you hit a jackpot, it felt really good.

I have also experienced the same if you mean betting $300 just to win $40 because of the odds given by the bookmakers. This is more than what I can afford to lose but I've tried because I'm almost sure the favored fighter is well-fit and confident to win the match.  If I did lose the bet, I'd probably think of not doing it again. As taking most of my time, I think hobby usually consumes your time.

I think almost the average gambler has the same experience as you, especially those who have a tendency towards addiction.
in my case, curiosity is too great, makes me continue to play the game until it exceeds the financial limit. there are two games that have always kept me hooked, poker and slots. i could spend hours on end.
but as you said, how easy it really is to fall into a bad habit and how hard it is to break it. the only way to break the habit of overdoing it is yourself.
In my case, ireplaced the game with another alternative and it was very effective for me. however, in the transition it takes quite a while.

I think that this situation is almost every gambler because it occurs due to loss of control, and from time to time it happens, especially in the early stage of acquaintance with gambling.

To avoid this happening you need to learn to limit yourself and not succumb to temptation. By the way, this can be said not only about gambling but also other hobbies that may have a negative impact on a person.

There was a particular period when I was pressed for funds and followed blindly anything that I saw had the potential to give me quick money. I was young an widely inexperienced. I got a tip from a friend about a fixed game, which in his word were "sure odds". I played the game with all the money I had, an amount way more than I would usually spend gambling whenever I seldom play. I knew I was going over my limit, but the thought of me winning from the fixed game, the sure odds...lol, kept me going.

I haven't been in that condition, but I know people that can gamble with their last money even if they are not expecting money from anywhere soon, they prefer to gamble with all their money and after losing they will endup regretting why they used the money to gamble, I think it's better we should always learn to control ourselves whenever we are gambling, if you can't control yourself then you are addicted to gambling which is very bad, you have to seek for help. If am gambling I always make sure I gamble with little amount I can afford to lose and immediately I finished my money then I stop immediately, I gamble when am stressed or whenever am bored.

I often experience it when playing the Blackjack and Bacarrat especially when I know that I can win all my loss that time by just winning the some juicy bonus bet. I lose most of my bankroll by chasing loses by I definitely accept the loss whenever I do huge bet. Sometimes when we are in the zone, we don’t care when we lose especially when we know what will be the potential profit in case one of our bonus bet win.

If it's only occasionally it cannot be considered a gambling addiction, its an adrenaline rush, you are very much into it because you've won and you've lost it again and you want to regain that and you think you can do that you just need the time and to increase your allocation, you are challenged to regain your losses even if realistic dictates that it's not going to be in your favor you still go for it, this what makes gambling exciting the uncertainty of what's going to happen next.

-   That's what you call gambling addiction. Your body's routine is already looking for such things. Where you don't care if you exceed your betting limit, that's one of the problems of a gambler who is addicted to gambling. Losing control and self-discipline about the limit of the amount of money you bet on gambling.

But if you have the determination to apply self-control and self-discipline, chances are high that you will be able to prevent your gambling problem.
