Topic: While placing bet what comes your mind - page 9. (Read 2125 times)

This happens from time to time since second guessing yourself is very normal, but how you deal with it is that matters the most, as there are many gamblers that change their minds because of those doubts and make some reckless debts because of them.

So in order to counter that, you need to have very present the reason why you make bets of that size, this way whenever you have those thoughts you can ignore them as you know very well that the amount you are betting is your limit, and going above it will cause you to not make as much bets as you would have liked during the week or bet more money than what you had in your mind, and both of those outcomes are not desirable.

Many gamblers have likely experienced the same thing. This kind of thinking involves mixed emotions such as positivity, doubt, nervousness, and greed. These emotions can make you think about increasing your bet for a chance of winning much bigger. Sometimes, it's also because of the adrenaline rush that you may want to increase your bet to have an even faster-paced game. Although it's normal to feel this way, it's important to try to control yourself during these situations, even though it can be challenging.

Wait, wait a moment...increasing the bet should not be something strange or bad, in fact it is a good gaming strategy, at least for traditional casino games, for poker other considerations come into play such as potodds, BB, buyin, etc. The context of the situation is very different.

But for traditional Casino games, it is normal, what is not normal is that you have $100 and start betting $1, first bet, then $5 second bet and so on.

If you make a correct betting strategy, increasing the bet is an alternative to playing, and that is why crypto games are so fascinating, because you can make initial bets from 0.00000001, if your casino does not offer that and your bankroll is $100 Look for that casino, there are some.

Do not create wrong matrices, increasing the bet is not bad if you know what you are doing.

The challenge in gambling is greed which makes you keep thinking about aiming for the biggest prize from the casino. I think this is a trap that will make you think you have a great chance of winning the jackpot. So you take the riskiest bet. When placing a bet what I think about is how much money I can afford to spend which I take from my entertainment fund. I never thought about winning the jackpot because I was worried it would make me addicted and lose even more money.

That urge to bring out some extra funds is actually normal with almost every gambler and fun seeker, it's actually not a new feeling i'v had a similar experience before Andi tried my best not to further use money ment for something else, at a time I had to take a walk and leave the place and that helped me save the money I would have used again.

If you have got some level of discipline, you will know how well to control yourself not to get hooked in the trap of using another Money which wasn't ment for such to fund such entertainment or gambling. This discipline which helps you get much self control over your emotions and urge to satisfy that desire will help you not get addicted and aswell not to loose or spend money you wouldn't have ordinarily and avoid some issues that would have come around such aswell.

True, when you're like in a carnival and even if you have that funds, exact amount that you're going to spend there. But when you have fun and you think that it's worth it to spend more then you'll be pulling out more funds.

And with this test for our self control, this is where many are failing because they can't help themselves but to keep on pulling more money out of their pockets when they are already having fun.

Some people who experinced a lot of lose, some time that not making them to stop from gambling, or gambling with excessive. They may even fail to stop themselves from gambling when he think he can win. This is normal and happens more often. So, maybe for you, losing will teaching you not to gamble without preparation dan follow the limit that has been set. However, lose more often traps people into gambling continuously. 1 more time break the limit of money they must be spent, they will try another one.

Gamblers make decisions quickly without thinking about anything, including the risks and consequences they will receive later because the temptation of gambling is heavier than they imagine. And when they place a bet, they imagine getting a big win and a lot of money but in reality, they will lose a lot of money. But that doesn't stop them from gambling, and in fact, many of them still decide to gamble because they still want to try to win big. Everyone has different luck, so everyone can't win the same. That is why while we are gambling, we have to pay attention to how much money we use and always try to prevent large losses because it will hurt us if we experience it ourselves. And when we know how much funds are allocated for gambling, we will not try to gamble excessively because that will make us lose even more money.

It is not something that is special with only gamblers, when someone is having or engaging in a fun activity that requires them to spend their money and their money planned for that activity is exhausted, there is usually the urge to pull out more funds from other budget to try and have some more fun, it is the same with gamblers. This urge is a test of self-control, and every adult and mature gambler without self-control will fail this test. As a gambler, the more resistant you are to this urge to lose self-control, the harder it will be for you to become an addicted gambler.

I think it's also useful when you gamble at offline casinos by bringing less money just to limit your budget so you don't exceed the limit, even though sometimes it's difficult too, anyone can still go home and play again with the remaining money at an offline casino, So this happens very often, that's why good consistency is needed in limiting the budget because it is important to limit the budget to free us from gambling addiction, playing outside the limits and recklessly.

Always make sure that the money used is no more than 5% of your income because you definitely won't regret it even if you lose it because the average gambler always uses a large budget and almost all of their income is used for gambling, that's the wrong way and very dangerous if it continues, whatever You have to play responsibly, such as playing calmly without targets and goals to win big, the most likely thing is to be able to enjoy the game and it is also good enough. everything must be done consistently because even if we bring a little money or make a small deposit it can still be violated. if you are not consistent everything will feel difficult.

Nothing is telling you to increase your wager than that of your very own mind and sometimes it can be misleading too, I don't want to listen to any voice in my head, I don't need to, only those who expect so much from gambling will want to win by all means, you shouldn't probably be gambling if your mind is saying you should take more risks, why can't your same mind tell you to lower your risk?

Whenever you want to gamble, always recite if possible that " gambling is by luck" maybe this will make you remember that it's all about luck and nothing else, when you think about the positive side you should think about the negative side too.

I have gotten passed the person that will let his mind fool him in gambling, it's possible that I get fooled in something else but not in gambling, you don't know what's awaiting you next, you should be risking money that wont cause you any pain, every profits is good profits, if you win it's great but what will happen if you lose? Think more about this as a gambler.

I don't think there is a gambler who has not felt that way before, gamblers always have a feeling that they are making the right picks and that if they increase their wager, then they would have the chance to win more money for themselves.

It is recommended you gamble with only an amount you can afford to lose, do not fall for the urge of increasing your wager because you are not sure of the outcome of the game you are about to play, just be a responsible gambler.

This is the importance of having the right understanding of gambling, because by having the right understanding of gambling, to be honest, I don't think they dare to put an amount that exceeds their limits as you discussed here and it is clear that in the end luck doesn't come at the right time. , meaning that they lose at the end of the session so it is clear that there will be no feelings of happiness at all but instead they will be disappointed and regretful and usually this is the starting point for a gambler to be controlled by his own emotions due to defeat which is usually some action out of control that they are very likely to do because of their urge from uncontrolled emotions.

Yes, I understand that you are suggesting something quite good by telling them to immediately go home and find other entertainment to calm their minds, but we also have to look at the fact that it is not that easy to ignore the emotions that are taking over us, if it was easy to do then wouldn't it? Does that mean humans don't have desires? Obviously, this is a difficult thing because we are creatures of feeling and gambling is an activity that can stimulate the brain and mind as well as human feelings which in the end usually makes them unable to stop themselves from taking actions out of control. So what must be correct in my opinion is that you should never try to invest an amount that you can never afford.

Crossed, yes that's for sure,
However, what comes to my mind when gambling or placing a bet is only one thing, namely winning and being able to get money, that's all, nothing else, even if the bet you place loses.

Everyone certainly knows that gambling means spending money daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly, for that reason there are various things that can cross people's minds when they enter the gambling arena, everything you mentioned comes to mind, but that's the world of gambling, the attraction to do it is very strong like a magnet, the point is that big wins always come.

This happens to me a lot, and it turns out that increasing the bet amount isn't the best choice, even when I'm really confident. Talking about opportunities, I personally think they're something to be careful about. Instead of winning more, I've often ended up facing more losses. This has happened multiple times, especially when I go all in on sports betting. While the outcome is sometimes fun, I mostly remember it as disappointing.

I agree with you on this, that losing control and being drawn to the uncertainty of money is a sign of a gambling issue. It seems like I get tempted by the excitement and end up losing control too easily.

Well whenever I place my bet, I think about the jackpot that I may hit or the losses that I can potentially incur.

Normally, it is common for me to overthink whenever I place my bets. There is this mixed feelings of both regret and hope dancing around my brain in which I am ready to experience whatever the outcome may be. I tend to prepare myself always for the worst outcome to at least rationalize to myself that what I did was wrong. Then this kind of mindset quickly turns around whenever I bet and I incur some profit along the way.


This is precisely the reason on why it is recommended that you only bring a handful amount of money whenever you bet.

Not only does this prevent you from overspending but this also limits all of your expenses in a single day. Always limit what you bet on a single day and you will be surprised by the amount of money that you can save from it.

That's us why is not good to gamble without listening to human spirit, when you listen and control yourself through gambling you not lose much or be addicted with gambling, sometimes why some people lose in gambling is because they don't listen to their spirit and some time too they do take decisions or methods of another gambler use to win gambling thinking that everyone have same grace in gambling, so that is why I always tell people have a drawing board for gambling so that if they lose they will know exactly what makes them to lose in gambling and secondly they should also know how much suppose to be allocated to gambling for them to win gambling, so I believe that gambling is luck and if you have no grace you will not be opportune to win gambling

And even in the case of a big win, there are those who bet everything and end up losing. I have a friend who worked for years in a land-based casino and he told me stories of all kinds, of people winning a lot of money, continuing to bet and ending up losing everything and more. Others, after the big win, made a cashout, left the casino but showed up again two hours later, bet again and lost everything as well.

Not all stories were like these, though, there were also those who after the big win knew how to stop, cashout and not come back until after a week or so.


I'm not so sure about that. What I think happens is that we tend to want to increase the stake when we win. That is, you are betting x, you win ten times that amount and you think: 'if instead of betting x I had bet 10x, now I would have won 100x' so you raise the bet.

But, I think there are also times that we bravely follow our gut and turns out that we are right. It can be luck and skill if we do a detailed analysis. If we are betting for quite some time, the scenario may have occurred to us a couple of times. So it is also hard to resist them, most especially if most of the results that we get are a win. If not, we will think not only thrice but a lot of times, and maybe still ended up not continuing.

For me, no matter how detailed the analysis I made, I won't still be confident with it because I know that sh8t can happen, especially here in gambling where manipulations are rampant. The only way I can do this, is if I'm involved in a sure match-fixing.

Yes, I have also faced this issue. This is actually normal and how it works in gambling. Most of the time this causes losses for gamblers. Only rear you could have a big win.

I also believe that the game's algorithm (it is made like this) takes these opportunities. That is why you notice while you are increasing your bets most of the time you will have a bigger lose strike.
