Topic: While placing bet what comes your mind - page 10. (Read 2238 times)

Yes I have had this kind of feelings several times when I was new into gambling. When the feeling comes in and I have extra cash I always increase my stakes. Sometimes it favoured me but most time I lost. It was after several losses that I made a resolution to stick to my initial budget of betting. So gradually I learnt not to listen to that feeling whenever it comes. It does come around every once in a while but I don't need to it anymore.

Yes, that's right.
We should be wise enough to know our limits especially if it will hurt our whole budget for a week or more. We don't want to spend that saved amount or else it will buy our stomachs which won't be filled or our electricity will be cut off if we don't pay the bill.
I've set my limits on how much I bet but there will always be demons that tell you to try and increase it for a faster way to chase the losses. Sometimes I yield increasing my bets for a bit, while there are times I put it back the the amount that I started betting. Casino games can sometimes fuck us up by eating a whole bunch of our budget and destroying our plan, that's when it will cloud our mind and think about betting higher.
The only problem is even if we increase the bet amount, it might not go our way, it could actually bury us deeper until the last drop of our remaining balance.
That happened to me a lot of times with RTP coming too late and I don't have enough funds to continue betting so I could recover my losses. The next time I am back it's a different day with a different route like everything restarted.

That is why before someone starts gambling, he needs to set limits for his gambling and does not need to increase his bets even though whispers tell him to increase his bets. When playing gambling, you only need to use enough money so that if you lose, you don't lose too much money, making you feel sad because you have lost the money. If you can restrain yourself by not increasing the bet amount or depositing more money, you will only use enough money and will leave the casino once you have had enough of gambling. There is no desire to recover from losses or chase wins because you have had enough of gambling. This is very important for us gamblers to remember so that we don't exceed our set limits.

Actually what you said is true, but sometimes the mind can be deceiving, by following the wrong path. thinking how to reinvest in gambling instead of Bitcoin is not a good gambling habit. At least anything goten as profit from gambling should  be used for either Bitcoin investment or buy a useful thing that whenever you turn your eyes, you will know the importance of using money wisely.

for someone to into this it depends on the amount they are using to gamble at the moment and if they used the amount they haven't used before to gamble and it happens they lost it then fine such person can never be in happy mood because he has lost what he weren't set for, so what happened next is either go home and think about what they have lost or go somewhere else to catch fun with people around until the mood is being eased away. That is it's very crucial and compulsory that before using any amount to stake it should be that win the game is lost he can withstand the pain without having to affect other people around them.

That’s normal in gambling, but you have to control yourself when gambling, if you can’t control yourself, then you will end up causing yourself more harm. When gambling, you will always want to increase your wager just to increase your potential win. Sometimes you will even think maybe it’s because you are not gambling with a huge amount of money, that’s why you haven’t hit a jackpot yet, and you will be tempted to increase the amount you are gambling with. Even if you increase the amount you are gambling with, you will still end up losing everything, which you will regret later. We shouldn’t be tempted to increase the amount we gamble with, and we shouldn’t be desperate to make money from gambling.

I do have similar feelings, but if you can always control yourself, then you will get over it. Both online and offline gambling are the same to me, if you spend more or less on gambling, then you will do that irrespective of where you are gambling. If you will be addicted to gambling, then you will definitely be addicted, whether you are gambling online or offline.

I guess every gambler has experienced this. But if you have set a betting limit or budget, whatever you may hear deep within you, that won’t work anymore. After all, the choice is yours if you will listen to that and be carried away, or be responsible enough to think what is right from wrong. One thing is certain, if you don’t gamble on an amount that you can afford to lose, at least be ready for its consequences afterwards.

But that's the problem when we're about to stop, the mind tells us to go for some more bets because of having that chance and what if we miss another bet that suppose to let us win.
IMO, this should be stopped and don't let that thought of yours eat your system because that's not going to give you a good ending. It's usually the problem of many gamblers and they end up being empty with their pockets for that reasoning.

If we have bet and not won the bet after betting several times, it would be better for us to stop first to calm our minds first and not force ourselves to keep betting because we will lose a lot, so it would be better for us to stop for a moment to be able to reflect on the games we play and set new strategies if we still want to bet again.

When we almost reach the winning target that we want, of course we will be very greedy in playing bets because we are sure that we will be able to achieve the target that we have set, but if we play uncontrollably, there is a possibility that we will miss out on the winnings that we will get because we are too greedy in playing. the game we are betting on.

When placing a bet I always consider risk and reward.  If I lose, how will this effect me?  If I win, how will this effect me?  Is it worth taking the risk of losing and facing the consequences of my actions for the glory of the potential win?  Will I have fun either way or will I ruin my night if my bet doesn't land?  These are all things people should look at before risking their money on anything really.  If you ever find yourself in a position where a loss would effect your life or lower your mood, you're better off spending you money on something else.  Even hookers and blow will put a smile on your face...

Actually yes and for sure many gamblers will feel that way  in short they are thinking that the more we put our bet then the more we will win a big amount of money. But in reality is that it's hard to control ourselves and that's the reason why we fall in to a trap and loss more money. cause once we win then we doubled our bet in order to win more amount but again we can not predict the outcome of our bet so it's better to be vigilant and wise in interms of gambling.

I agree, if you've got some intuition that you shouldn't bet anymore because you're going to lose more, you better believe that thought you have that tells you to stop. There are moment that you might freak out because you think that you're near to the luck that you are hitting and amount that you're trying to reach. It is doable and no doubt with that but what matters is that you have to look at what has a greater chance to occur and that's losing.

Honestly, the initial thought process for me is about the game itself. If it is a game that I am going to watch, I try to prefer to pick the side I hope that wins, and not that I think it would win. Obviously this isn't really a smart decision so I gamble less on those games, I want to see a team win, and betting on that game means I would have even more incentive to win that game.

This doesn't mean that I am going to end up with a win, I could very well lose, because who I hope would win, may not be the team that is better. However, if it is not something I wish to see win or lose, like if I don't care, if it is only for a bit of gambling fun, then I gamble more, and I try to bet on the favourites and then it is a totally different situation.

Of course I have had same, I know for sure that almost everyone who gambles might have had this thought running through their brains although mine only comes when I have started hitting some good run during that session of playing and that's when the thought will come to play telling me to increase the stake and it's because of thinking that I might win even more but many times the result always turn out to be the opposite of my expectations.

Certainly, as the opportunities to win in the game increase the more the player is willing to risk more money.
A win on a bet of $100 or $1000 will bring you a much larger profit, but many people don't think otherwise... "What if I don't win?" How many chances will I be wasting?

As much as a person is willing to lose $1000, they need to consider that their chances of winning by betting $100 in $100 can be much greater than if they make a single all-in bet of $1000.

So, the advice is to keep your mind calm, resist these emotional impulses and follow your pre-defined betting schedule.
Sometimes it's good to follow your intuition, but in gambling they usually end up not being a good choice.

Yes I agree with this statement that greed is indeed a disease that most gamblers always have and apply especially when they manage to get a certain amount of winnings, sometimes people who have a proper understanding of gambling along with having good control and limits are not uncommon for them to end up breaking the rules they have made before that end up acting greedy, all of this is due to a lack of awareness when they are gambling and the sensation they feel in a winning situation really makes them carried away and finally they increase the amount of bets with the aim of getting a bigger amount.

However, regret will always come at the end and greed is usually what will more often lead gamblers to the end result that makes them regret, after that of course the inability to accept reality will be felt and some out of control actions such as gambling with the aim of chasing wins to pursue break-even will be their main choice which ultimately actually makes the number of losses even greater. So this is the danger if you can't maintain your mindfulness, no matter if you are losing or winning because there is still a possibility for you to become a "greedy when you win and impulsive when you lose" gambler.

Greed is something we cannot control but we still can prevent it from taking over our gambling habits. Greed is simply a manifestation of our mindset; if you are too eager to make huge money out of gambling then for sure you'd be prone to it. Next thing in line is self-discipline; set a limit of how much you can afford to lose and an amount you'd be happy taking home with. We do all want to win money from the games we engage ourselves with however we do have our own standards when it comes to 'how much' are we referring to. If it is millions, then thing won't be happening if you'd be greedy unless you are lucky to hit jackpots. Most of the tme you'd only win a small percentage of that idealization and it is for you to decide whether you will bag it already or to continue as much as possible. Indeed you'd be unconscious of things along the way and that's why discipline is important; you would probably win less than your ideal but for sure you'd also lose less than what you fear.

Not to brag but I'm quite in good terms in this industry; not winning that much but also not losing big time. Result? I'm not stressing about money I am spending in gambling and at the same  time enjoying things more than what I was doing before.It is indeed envious to see how others are winning however whenever I am thinking of the amount they have lost, which are often amount I cannot afford, I am sticking with what I am doing at the present. It is okay to have second thoughts or hesitation 'coz what will matter is your action afterwards.

Yes and I think most of us experienced this kind of feeling while placing bets. Since I am a lotto fan it happens to me before when I thought of buying a ticket for multiple draws and unfortunately for me my feeling got my final decision and ends me up not buying what I intended to buy in town as the change I got from that bet isn't enough for the fried chicken I promised to my family. Instead of having the fried chicken 2:1 per family member I only got it 1:1 and that is where conscience hits me.

Same with many of us, the result is what influences and affects our thinking at some time and this has been a regular noticeable thing for us in the gambling industry must especially in sports bets, because that is where we get regular winnings than losses which have made many sport bettor to have a pre-determined mind toward winning when picking the games, this is not same with in house games.


The first thing that comes to mind is the risk and then the winning,  without much thought for losses or even making provision for such when it happens, but the main thing is that losses still happen regardless and it always comes with regret of what you should have done or should have not done while making the bets.

That's right, that's the beginning of losing in gambling. Because we can't control our greed, ultimately that feeling controls our brain to continue betting and increasing our bets whether we are winning or losing. and in the end without realizing it, all our money is gone.
This case occurs in almost all gambling players, only a few are able to overcome it and can take advantage of real winnings.
