Topic: While placing bet what comes your mind - page 6. (Read 2229 times)

This is a common sports betting scene. I understand the appeal of bigger profits vs losses. A strategic dance, right? Evaluating the logic of betting more for larger gains is sensible, but loss is always possible. Many have disappointed themselves due of optimism.

With games of chance like slots, your strategy seems conservative. Its smart considering such games' unpredictability. I like a balanced approach: knowing when to take chances and when to pull back. My experience has taught me not to let excitement outweigh financial risks. Remember that the long-term influence on your finances is as important as the immediate gain.

I would like to give more general information about both feelings I experience;

First of all, when I gamble especially in sports betting, like every gambler I think and evaluate how logical it would be to increase the bet amount considering the profit I will get if I win. In this way, I dream of other expenses that I can make by earning more money in case of a possible gain. Of course, on the other side I think about what impact this loss will have on me if I lose the bet or what I can do with the amount I intend to use for this bet. This prevents me from placing lower bets on bet slips that have a low probability of winning.

Finally, I would like to finish my message by adding that I generally don't focus on winnings in slots and similar games of chance and I rarely increase my bet amount if I feel like a free spin is coming. So, in general the thoughts and feelings I mentioned only occur in gambling types with a certain profit rate. In games of chance, which are completely based on luck and I don't know how much profit I will get, I almost never increase the bet amount by thinking optimistically.

To me, it is more about how you think about the games that happened previously. Like if a team is about to play, I just check the last 5 games, and then injured players list, and then the booked ones. If you could do all that then you are going to get a sense of what will happen, and that should be easier to handle. Of course it is not going to be done in a single day, but it is going to be a good dedication and understanding if you get used to it.

I still miss some of them at times, like forget about booked ones could be the most common one, but I just do it. Like I thought Salah was back when he wasn't and wagered and lost, it is just common. At the end of the day, you take it step by step and you get better results from it whenever you possibly can.

What comes at mind in times is that you will be thinking that when you didn't follow your instinct when due you might feel something important is missing and if you don't satisfy yourself at that moment you might think the game has played, if mistakenly it plays out correctly then when next if such happened again you don't mind even going to borrow money to gamble with the mindset of what happened previously will repeat itself again. I have actually learned my lesson not to be always controlled by such feelings when placing bets.

Yeah increasing  the money might multiple ur earnings sometimes but what comes to my mind other than this is to win,just win so I can get a double of my funds used for it .
A certain time I want to gamble,I invariably use a little amount tho and won at first,was so amazed so instead of collecting my earnings and leave I had it in mind to use my proceeds to stake again,which was a double of what I use to Play but the results this time around was shocking.i lost the entire game and I had to balance up cause my stake was above my expectations.

Do that's it,I took time to assimilate what had happened,my friends that were around were just laughing at me cause I would have just followed up and take my first win and leave but I learnt from it tho.

It is always tempting though, but no matter how the situation might be, there is still need to play responsibly because if you dont control yourself you may end up loosing all your fund, hoping for a great win mean while Gambling is a game of luck and trying by error.. for me I have been in that shows before and I know quit well how it use to be. I have been tempted to play such a game and win and also been tempted and lost, so there is no big deal there. What really matter is satisfying or clearing your doubt no matter whether it played or not. Because if it play why you didn't bet it, you will be angry at your self. But if you play and it cut you will clear your thoughts.

Exactly, it all depends on us. A responsible gambler knows his limits and bets without any hesitations or nonsense like trying to convince yourself to bet more. The plan should be followed. We always have plans before entering into something and that's it. Maybe only make adjustments with our winnings but not with our gambling capital or even worse the money that is not supposed to be touched.

When I place a bet, I just think that I want to win that's it. I am not hoping for miracles to happen like thinking about betting more so I can earn big. I only bet what I can afford to lose. This is actually simple and people should not make it complicated.

It is often and I assume that we are optimistic about our bet and the only thing that appears in our mind is to win that is why most of us are disappointed with results. That is why I could understand why new gamblers got angry and why many of us raise their tempter as it was hard to accept losses when we already thing about winning. But this is gambling life, dare to understand that situation that we can't be all right as winning is just a bonus. That is why it is important to control and emotions and not get too attached to gambling in order not to feel hurt when we lose and also not to be overjoyed if we win.

When making decisions then it would really be that entirely be that depending on you because not all would really be that the same about their own views and impressions towards gambling.
Some be thinking and be that desperate on making money and some are really just that playing for the sake of fun nothingless.  Results or outcomes would really be that depending
on how you do treat up gambling because if you are really that desperate on making money or profits with gambling then this is where problem do actually come from.

Its none others business if you do want to bet, on how you do bet and what behavior you could have. The only thing that you should really be mindful
is that you wont really be excessively be that engaging into it. People do mess up their lives due to this very sole reason.

Let me say that you are the one who is expecting more while the reply to what the OP asked is right in front of you. You should know that this is a general question and, not a directional one, so you capture your responses generally as it is. But if at all you must be directional in some of them, I believe you are free to do that on your own but not believing that the OP is not right. For me, it is all good, it is just a means to know how gamblers generally feel towards betting before they do it and even after committing their money to it. I see this as more of a survey though I do not know the main intention of the OP to have asked it, regardless, let the fun continue.

Or maybe you never read the OP because he even shared his thoughts and the reason for the question, and I feel that he was fighting a spirit/mind at that time of his betting. I also felt the same way when I started gambling, and that was towards some certain lotto games before it later stopped. I've also never been a victim of any before. This is because I make sure that I wager the amount that will not hurt me if I lose it and that has been the best key for anyone to overcome any psychology of gambling whether it is positive or negative. I see no reason why I should wager too hugely because my mind tells me to do so at the time of betting. I act based on my plan and it doesn't change.

I'm sure all gamblers have experienced the same things or feelings as you are experiencing. However, how to respond to this depends on each individual, if we are easily swayed by beliefs that were previously true, then indirectly we will be dominated by victory by playing continuously, even though in fact winning is better for us. to just leave it like that. a place to gamble and have fun, but if the gambler is not controlled with good thinking and understanding then he will stay there and play irregularly.

The urge to gamble should only be for fun and there is no need to use a lot of money because that will only make someone gamble longer than usual. They may forget to stop their gambling activities because they are too busy gambling and use up a lot of money. This should have been prevented because it could result in them experiencing bigger losses.

This will happen to people who have a lot of money or those who don't have a lot of money because they will think that gambling is the only activity they can do to get pleasure. Even when they place bets, they should be able to remember that they come to gambling just to have fun and not to make money.

And if they can't control their emotions, they will only be more eager to continue pursuing victory. And even if they lose, it won't stop them from continuing to gamble so it will also make them run out of money faster than they imagined.

If we can use money well and correctly, we will not only use money to gamble just to satisfy our desires and to double our money from gambling. We will think about using money to provide something useful for our lives and not just to get pleasure. After all, there are things we can do that can also provide enjoyment so we don't always need to resort to gambling for fun. When we place a bet, we should be able to think about using the bet to have fun and not think about making money even though we can win from the bet. And if we can have the right mindset in using gambling, we will also be able to have fun from gambling and will not experience any problems from gambling.

And we consider it the most fatal mistake in gambling, how small the money borrowed for gambling is a mistake, even if we have more income but when we borrow money from anyone to gamble, there will be a bad habit in the future, this is triggered by the thought that maybe it will be given a win, borrowing a small amount feels that there will be no problem with the pain, and the longer it is spoiled like you describe it, it will end very badly.

And the reaction is very bad when getting a sustainable win, feeling confident about receiving another bigger win will make us crumble easily, this is common for us as gamblers, including people who already have a sense of responsibility in gambling, thoughts like that must exist but they can reject it because they know when to stop.

I think it's a hunch, everyone will have it and it will be different depending on the moment. For me, when I lose consecutively at gambling, I often have a premonition that I will lose the next game, and my confidence almost disappears. But on the contrary, when I'm winning and my confidence increases, I have the feeling that I will continue to win.
It is not excluded that there are special premonitions that suddenly flash in our thoughts when we are about to bet, but it is often difficult for us to recognize because our psychology has been largely disturbed due to the results of previous games. I believe that hunches that suddenly come to me when I have not yet started playing any game will have higher accuracy, those are my personal experiences.

And we must make an effort to not reach that point, because once a person begins to ask for a loan to gamble then this indicates they already have a massive problem, a problem that will get even worse.

Because even if they were to get lucky and win some bets with that money they got as a loan, if they do this enough times then the day will come in which they will lose it, and instead of realizing the dire position in which they are in, most likely they will keep asking for more loans until no one is willing to help them anymore and end up with an unpayable debt.

We desire if we keep thinking on that thing, and the financial problem will come if we use our limited money on fulfilling that desire, if it requires money. If it gives us a pressure, then why not stop? Continuing might only affect your plays and you will lose the money that you can't afford or is intended for different purpose.

Playing with a clear mind won't still mean that we are now going to win surely, this is why it is still important to use only the money that are considered as excess from our budget. If you think you are not ready yet, why would you deposit? That's risky because the site can get hacked or we don't know what if the casino messes up with our balance, etc...

This is probably not a good feeling. Sometimes intuition can tell us something contrary to a reasonable decision, but if it concerns betting, then most likely this voice is not worth listening to.
In any case, I wish you success and wisdom. Think with your head and keep your emotions under control or they will control you

Goodness, I haven't.

I haven't come to that point of thinking to borrow money just to go gamble. I may say that I am fortunate with my feelings and control but I wouldn't go deep pockets to gamble and go to that point of asking a loan to gamble.

It's true that many gamblers come to that point of their lives when they're too emotional and can't get over with their losses. That is a hard feeling to resist and many go into deeper feeling and losing themselves not just in gambling.

By increasing the amount of your wager already a sign of addiction? That can't be right. This is only a sign of being greedy. Addiction is a different thing for some who experience it by playing non-stop and keep thinking about gambling. Even without money, the only thing they have in mind is gambling. Increasing the amount of your bet is only a sign of being greedy because you assume more winning by trying your luck.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and this isnt something that would really be solving out some poverty problems or loan problems because once you do then you are just fucking up yourself and putting into that tough or shit situation even more. On the time that you would really be doing gambling then you shouldn't really be thinking something that do pertains about getting rich or making it as an income or having those winnings because it would really be just that making you desperate on having this kind of mindset on which this is something that you must be avoiding in the first place.
Once you do have these kind of things in mind thenyou are just basically be putting up yourself on such risks and this is something that must be avoided.
