Topic: While placing bet what comes your mind - page 13. (Read 2229 times)

That's how gambling is tempting, it's like there's always someone telling you it's not enough and you need more until more is nothing. This leads near to addiction if you keep following that thoughts and can't even control your emotions and strategy.

While me having no thoughts when rolling i don't even wish a win lol but of course i want it in the very first place, that's the reason why i gamble.

after I place my bet, what always comes to my mind is that I hope to win, it's always like this. I don't increase my bet because he already has a budget, whether the bet is big or small, that's how it always comes to my mind that I hope to win haha. It's not bad to always think of winning, but the opposite always happens.

Of course, what the OP said, I have also experienced this, but in reality, when I increase the amount of money per bet, the results are not suitable or result in a loss. Not just once or twice, but this happens often. Surprisingly, when we place bets with small amounts, we often win until we replace them with a larger amount of money in one fell swoop and instead lose.

The number one lesson you should learn and always take with you is never to gamble with the influence of emotions or greed, because from what you explained, i can see that your greed took over you and at that making you to gamble exclusively on above what you set aside to, this temptation always come along the way, but you must have to control such emotions and not allow it to get the best part of you because if that happens,  it will result into a heavier loses at the end so it better we stay away from emotional gambling.


First before you gamble of pick a bet, always have your target and limits to what you stake and how much you have set aside to take that risk, because your losing ratio is always higher than the winning ratio so you have to get yourself prepared for that at any point in time.

The things kind of start with losing self control while doing gambling and then it becomes greed have it becomes to addicted. So I think before doing we have to control our mind if we lose our self control then there is a most chance for facing loss that's why always set a leave it before gambling and stop after the crossing of your limit.

What really comes into my mind when I am betting is "I will win this bet" and most times the game ends up being lost and sometimes I won the bet but many bets have to get lost before one will win a bet.
Some people have the luck of betting that they didn't need to lose their bets all the times before they won but there are some that have to lose before they win. I can't really explain this but that's what I can say for now.

I usually think about actually having money in my pocket, or what has been the case lately, XFUN in my XFUN wallet. Regardless, I try to visualize it as best as I can. I know it doesn't really do much, but it keeps me at ease, at least until the games start hahahah

Such kind of thought don't just happen in gambling but in other areas of life. You will always have the feeling to put in more money in gambling or other endeavours because you might perceive that you might win big. Humorously sometimes it turns out to be the right decision and you win big from such a bet increase. And you will begin to tell how your intuition was just correct but in some other cases, you tend to regret your action and even claim that such thoughts came from the devil.

I have had this feeling several times and in may of these cases I regretted my actions because I lost. From then henceforth I am not greedy to increase my bet because of a mere feeling. I always follow my gambling plans no matter how I am feeling. Although I might have won bigger in some occasions if I had increased my bet my decision has saved me from unnecessary losses and regrets.

The analogy to the "rich person mindset" is clever. Approaching gambling as a recreational activity, rather than a desperate quest for riches, removes the pressure to win and allows for a more balanced experience. Ignoring the internal urge for quick wins and focusing on the present moment are key elements of this mindset.

Ultimately, responsible gambling starts with a strong and stable mindset. When our internal state is aligned with healthy priorities and realistic expectations, the allure of reckless bets and chasing losses fades away. We can then truly enjoy the game for what it is, a source of entertainment and social interaction, without succumbing to the potential dangers of addiction and financial ruin.

The gamblers mind usually have a lot running through it when ever they initiate the action of placing a bet any of the games of their choice, this taughts ranges from how they are going to win, if they should add or increase their stakes or if they should rather not place such bet all this put together makes the mind of some gamblers indecisive and make some of them to make choices that may look improper but then a good and responsible gambler will know how shot all other aspects of their minds and make a decision on what they feel is best for them.

The fight against these taughts are usually not easy to battle but the more you gamble and have these experience, out of your experience you be in a better position to handle such situations.

If thoughts like this keep coming your mind the be ever ready in giving it the reply that gambling is a win or loose game and will a be able to adapt ithe conditions if I loose bet, we do make winning not by how much we deposited to play bets but how skilful and knowledgeable we are in gambling with the luck attached.


It isn't how it works, it just an iIlussion trying to instigate you for loss.


Yes, but what comes straight to my mind anytime is can I be able to afford loosing as well, if I can't then I shouldn't risk it for nothing.

That's gambling friends, the more we get carried away with a game, the more obsessed we will become and want to continue playing with the amount of bets that can certainly continue to increase every time we force to continue betting on the game.
It happens because we enjoy too much and make us complacent because of the gambling done because it is not wrong if almost most people say that gambling increases dopamine which makes us constantly feel the adrenaline in the body increases so that the obsession to increase the bet is getting bigger because we are increasingly challenged by it.
That should actually be avoided because however in a situation like this even though we are a gambler but we should not continue to force things like this because after all it is a condition that is not too good if it is done too often, therefore the importance of self-control so that such situations do not occur.

That's your conscience telling you to gamble more and you'd feel regretful if you don't bet that much, correct? It's a normal thing and it is yourself that have it on your mind and probably before you're already like that. There is a serious matter that you have to control for yourself because if you're not going to do some solutions on it, you'd listen and obey the whisper of your conscience.

Yes but that was before. But right now, I was able to control myself and if there will be that type of whisper that wants to me think that I should win and I should bet more, I ignore it.

I know it wasn't easy to handle with this kind of feelings when it comes of placing bet because you could be tempted to increase your bet above your monthly gambling budget, sometimes I felt is greed that causes most of the things while trying to increase bet is always a result of Greed so anyone who can control this feelings can as well maintained a healthy gambling practice than becoming irresponsible gambler.

Every gambler at all curse would want to win something big while gambling, this mindset doesn't have to leave you sometimes after you might placed bet below what you wanted immediately you will regret to say how I wished I could have increased the bet above your limits and this often happens when you don't have additional funds in your bet account to place another bet, if is offline this would lead you to go borrow money from a close friend within the gambling environment.

I bet whatever comes to mind when I run out of strategies and I do it that way because I like to give luck and a different game a chance, all the time I play with an order with some steps, with a routine, I feel that the casino knows how I play and I can't win that way, so sometimes I make unplanned plays and plays that don't seem logical to see if I'm lucky, I think everyone has applied that strategy to see how it can change the game, this is a way to mislead the system, that's how I see it.

But when I'm playing my mind stays very focused on what I'm looking for, trying not to make mistakes, and always visualizing that I can win, that's my goal, to be able to win and be able to do something so that I can make a difference, I don't do anything else. Another thing, for me it is important to win and earn some money, to see if I can do something profitable one day in the casino, I always stick with having fun and with few profits.

This happens to those that only think of how much they will win without considering that gambling is a 50-50 chance of winning and losing, So if you allow greediness to overrule you when gambling, then this is when you start to feel this way and try to increase your stakes, and secondly, if you are someone that don't have self-discipline, and a budget when engaging in gambling, that is how much you want to risk or stated amount to be used on a particular game you will always be tempted to increase your stakes.

It's completely normal that you felt like this, OP. You're simply overthinking the bet, going "what if" for too long. We all did that and it happens not only in gambling but also in investing, even withdrawing from a bank, selling or buying things. Should I buy this car, or go for a cheaper one? Should I buy this house or go big and spend all my money on that bigger and better one? Some of you say it's "deceptive thoughts" but it's not. It's normal analytical thing our brain does. We're programed to do this.

Honestly, I can't expect too much from the gambling I do and the amount of bets I place. Because gambling cannot be expected. Moreover, at the time of gambling and placing a bet, I got more losses than wins. I have tried as much as possible to play calmly and make decisions that are quite appropriate and wise. Maybe I'm not too lucky in gambling. But even so, it is extremely difficult to escape from the world of gambling. Especially if we have put gambling as part of our pleasure.

I had these types of things when I started gambling, I remember that at that time I would make a bet and then I would start to think that I should have put more money on that bet, so I would look at the bet and cancel it, of course I lost money when I canceled a bet, but I made the same bet again, putting in more money and losing. When I lost, I started feeling very guilty about the loss, I started thinking that I shouldn't have made that bet. In other words, I was very sorry about my choice. but it was unbelievable that when I made another bet, I made the same mistake and then started to feel very guilty again. There were times when the game I bet on was a game that made me very confident

I was very confident that I would win that game, for that reason I went back to betting on the same game but with more money, but at the end of the game I lost my bet again, that cycle lasted a few weeks and eventually left me very sad to the point that I I decided that the time had come to stop playing and I stopped playing. It's funny that when after years I started playing again, I remember that in the first few days I made the same mistake as I did in the past. but this time to correct myself, I chose to stop placing bets without first having a solid plan, I decided to start learning more about bankroll management and how to better analyze each game and its markets, I started learning about the most common mistakes that people make. should avoid, and thanks to that I no longer made the same mistakes as in the past

Several thoughts do come to my mind on gambling but due to the way I have programmed myself to gamble to bet less, I try as much to subdue the urge to bet more whenever it comes for me to bet more in aspects to win more.
I can't begin to bet more when I have programmed myself on a particular amount I am going to bet in a gambling house. Betting more just because I have the urge doesn't make me a gambler who wants to only have fun in gambling, but also has the intention of making wealth from gambling. That attitude alone makes me a liar to myself. Not telling myself the truth
