Topic: You won today, but then you will lose often - page 5. (Read 4054 times)
Since you know that 10K wagering amount looks too high according to your financial status then you shouldn't have such goal of reaching VIP status. Make your goals realistic which applies to the gambling as well or else its like hitting a jackpot or lottery so you solely rely on your luck to reach that. You win and you lose so make sure you play with the amount which is not comes from your entire savings.
If you have been playing(gambling) for a long time and you happen to get a day to win some games I think anyone would want to push their luck to try chase those loses you had some time back 
to turn them into profits.
But like everyone says, the house always wins which is why losing is always guaranteed because greed follows winners and emotions follow loses who go all in to wipe out their account.

I think saying "The Casino always wins" is just there to make us feel better after losing. Because it is not true, there are plenty of people who won in the casinos and managed to take their profit and stop gambling. It all comes down to how good we control ourself and how good we have our emotions in check. Once we are in the green and won a few games then we start to feel that everything will be going into our favour. We keep focusing too much on the winnings and forget about the risks involved. I think one good way to try and focus more on a gambling is to work with limits for our weekly money we use for gambling.
it cannot make me feel better when i loose but " casinos are meant for entertaintment " sounded better to me after a loss .
its true that when we are lucky the luck continue because i experience playing continously when im lucky in few games that i can won for more rounds but does not work when i started with a red streaks but the hard part is to figure out when our luck ends .

I think someone who knows when to stop gambling is the winner because he has full control over himself so he does not try to search for the other gambling games just to win.
It is good if you do not have a plan to back to the casino and I think it is better to enjoy yourself with the other things and who knows, you can make money from that things

This. You win when you know when to stop. If you can't stop, you will never win. Don't be greedy neither. You had a lucky streak? That's great. Now learn to realize your profits and move on because if you keep playing you'll lose that sweet winnings. Betting as a job is very stressful, if you are doing this to make money you are also doing it wrong imo.
Many people just keep on playing and therefore they loose what ever they have earned in profit. If someone is addicted to gambling and its impossible for him/her to stay away from gambling, then the best bet is to move the profits out of the gambling site and keep on playing with the seed money. This way even if you loose all your seed money after playing few games, you still have your profits secured in a safe place.

This is nice to hear, stopping your gambling addiction is a process and it is one that takes very long, but as you said it all starts with a decision, the addicted gambler needs to realize how much he is damaging himself and start the process of healing himself, it is not easy at all and the temptation is always going to be there but it can be overcome by a strong desire to stop gambling, unfortunately just as there are many that can get out of a gambling addiction there are also cases of people unable to do this and they end up losing way more than their money as their families eventually leave them as they cannot deal with their addiction anymore.
It seems to me that such psychological addictions as gambling initially infects those people who have nothing special to value (family, career, other interesting occupation). Gambling is not a chemical addiction and if at a certain moment a person cannot stop for the sake of his family, then most likely he initially did not particularly value it.

There will be a time for us to lose and we do not know how much money we will lose, but that should be big money to lose.
Greedy is something that we must avoid. Otherwise, we will never enjoy our winning money because we will attract to play more rounds.
Stopping gambling while we have that money will be recommended because we can cash out the money and use it for buying what we want.
Unfortunately, most gamblers forget this. If a player is constantly waiting to win and this does not happen for a long time, the emotional background gradually changes in the opposite direction and the brain is trying to protect its master from the negative influence from the outside connects its defense mechanisms, which lead to a wrong perception of reality because of what man has lost complete control of himself.
I slightly agree, instead of the opposite direction I think it slowly shifts your mindset to an aggressive direction since you've been expecting a different outcome for quite some time and it becomes demoralizing when the situation rarely goes in your favor so we tend to get greedy and go all out.Dont mind about making money but rather mind on the fun that you had attained. Winning is just a bonus and you do have to put that in mind.
Looking back at some of our fun gambling times does sound nice but most gamblers view it the other way around and take it way too serious since there's money on the line.

To begin with, I would advise you to change your lifestyle, e.g. go travelling for a month. A change of scenery should do you good.
Very often a gambling addict is simply unable to cope with their misfortune alone, so it is better to seek professional help. Gambling addiction can be compared to tobacco smoking. Someone can easily quit smoking on their own and someone needs psychological help and even medication to relieve stress.
The problem with addictions is that it is easy to quit for one day but it is way more difficult to quit for good, as you say most of the time the life of the person that has some gambling problems is dominated by gambling and a change of scenery could be good for them, this is why you need to involvement of the family to help the addicted to recover, but many times those that are gambling addicts hide this from their families thinking they can do it on their own, and as you may guess very few people escape addiction when they try to do everything on their own.Very often a gambling addict is simply unable to cope with their misfortune alone, so it is better to seek professional help.

Gambling is should really be for fun but other people do take it into another level where they do expect that they can make out guaranteed profits to it until they have lost and break
those expectation which would trigger out another impulsive behavior.

We don't need to be overly disappointed for the losses but rather to keep smiling and think that this is how gambling works. That is why we use money that we can afford to lose from our hands. Although how much we tried our best still doesn't enough to win, LUCK is really what we need for.

I've not been losing anything since last year and you know why?
Because I've stopped gambling on casinos (only enjoying a lot betting on sports where I've a strict bankroll management)
I'm so tempted to play again but I'm afraid of losing, therefore I'll have to set a strategy or define how much I want to gamble. Or I simply have to stay out of casinos.
I guess you have good control for yourself so you do not gamble on casinos. We should have control like you and not gambling too often to prevent the big loss.Because I've stopped gambling on casinos (only enjoying a lot betting on sports where I've a strict bankroll management)

Be careful because the temptation can become bigger without realizing it, especially if you see many gamblers can win from the games.
I hope you do not lose your control and can still prevent playing gambling instead of holding your funds.
If you afraid of losing, you can stay away from casinos and do something else to let your mind do not think about gambling.
One never knows if that temptation is small enough to be controlled and suppressed or else.

In sports betting, you need to have analysis to search for the right team with a chance to win.
What we always prevent is the greediness that can come to us in the winning time.
If you let the greediness stay longer in yourself, you will see that you will lose the money in the next rounds, even your winning money.

That's right. The first degree of recovery from any addiction is admitting there is a problem to deal with. If a person does not acknowledge that there is a problem or tries to blame it on others, it will never be solved.
I have met many strong people in my life who have managed to beat various addictions that are much stronger than gambling addiction. So everything is in our hands, we just need to make an effort.
After admitting the process of recovering are relying with how the person believes that he can be helped. There are different treatment from this wide cases of addictions.
Some can just moveaway for awhile and find ways to enjoy their time with the company of their friends and love ones,
while for some they needed closer attentions from experts.
Either way, the person are accountable in each actions that he'll going to take while undergoing treatment.

Gambler have never stop any more with how many time loss and their statistic playing on stake account example more loss than profit but keep to bet without care with their money, I think some one have hobbies as gambling and have some other for income with gambling. But remember not any way your profit consistent with gambling.
