As humans, we are conditioned to look for patterns in life and we gamblers try to make predictions based on what we see, while we are gambling. The reality is that these patterns does not exist, but we like to pretend that they do because it helps us to bring order to the chaos that are gambling.  ::)

Some people seem to think that your bet size will increase your chances to win, but that is simply a myth. The reality is that it simply means your payouts will be bigger when you do win.

A lot of my friends believe that it is better to spin the Slots manually, because "Auto spin" are rigged by the casinos... but that is also a myth. A lot of things come into play when a bet is made and it has nothing to do with the "auto bet" feature. (Client Seed / Server Seed & RNG and RTP ...)

Have you pressed the "bet" button, before the reels have stopped.. thinking that it will give you a favorable outcome on your bet? Well, I have news for you... the outcome has been decided in milliseconds after you pressed the button for the bet, the GUI interface happens long after that to display the outcome of the bet to you.  ;D (Go into the developer mode of your browser to see this)

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

I only have betting strategies and using martingale strategy at times after I knew it is very risky.

Most of my strategies is about how to risk little and lose little or to gain little, not even martingale that can go wrong at times and lead to big loss.

Betting should be fun, when using just little amount of money, not going beyond the budget set for it and if I noticed that I am winning as I am gambling, not that I am losing all the time which can make me suspect something wrong going on. I do not think there are superstitious ways to win casino games.

I don't see a pattern in playing gambling and just press the "bet" or "Spin" button and then submit to the results that will come out.
If I just pay attention or make a pattern, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy gambling itself and will only waste my time gambling.
But I guess some gamblers do it because they have their own reasons and we can't blame them because it's their choice.
I also often hit the "Auto 50x, 100x, or other" button and just sit back, enjoy my coffee, and watch the results.
Whether the pattern exists or is just our imagination, our job is only to enjoy gambling as a temporary pleasure and when it's all over, we have to stop.

Yeah, it could be pattern, or what we call superstitious belief. Sometimes I will count the reel, how much spins before I will win and how many spins is my lost. And then the next time,  I will used that pattern to maybe increased my bet the next time so that if the pattern continues then I might win big. However, I found out that it's no pattern after all. It could be just coincidence, or just my luck playing with me and my emotions.

So in my years of playing slots, I will say that there is no patterns, it is just ourselves trying to find and making that excuses that we are going to win big the next spin because we found a pattern.

I mean, I'm pretty sure deep down that most people believe that the "patterns" they found in gambling are just absolutely random bs that they use to increase their confidence in actually winning. Plus, it also serves as an additional reason to blame when you lose, like oh it's because this tip I got to do x thing while doing y thing was just a fake kind of idea.

But anyway, on the topic of patterns, dumb as it is, it's usually a pattern of win streaks/lose streaks for me. It's like I always have that dumb ass mindset that after some random number of losses (which I get from who knows where at the time really) I'd make a comeback, so I keep playing the same game. This only happens on games I really enjoy though, so it's not that bad.

I saw patterns until they showed to be just illusions from my mind. In fact there aren't patterns in gambling. They are personal beliefs from gamblers who think they can defeat the casino, but don't last long, because sooner or later these gamblers hit a long loss streak.

A very common pattern I saw was from a youtuber who played a roulette alike game. He believed he could predict when the white house on the table was going to be hit, so he didn't play on the red and black houses, but only on the single white house for huge multiplier.

For a while his method worked and it really seemed he had discovered a pattern. However, I doubt that was going to work forever, because there aren't such patterns in gambling. I didn't follow him anymore to see the end of the story (he was already playing for months), though.

As humans, there are always wishes and desires and when people gamble, they always do so with hopes and believe of making profits and I don't see anything wrong with people having myths because I believe those are hopes that keeps them going and positive..
When I increase my bet, I do so with more hopes of making more profit and getting more in return and I actually don't believe in having any miraculous strategy to comb in profits and this is because I believe in doing the right thing and hoping for a positive result at the end.
In all we do, we should try as much as possible not to gamble with what they can't afford to lose because it always ends with regrets as nothing is gauranteed in the gambling industry.

in my case I only place sports bets, I only bet on a game after I have analyzed the two teams, this is strategy, I analyze the two teams that are going to play and when I analyze the game I think as if I were going to a battlefield what would I do to survive on the battlefield. for example there is an arsenal game against city ( game has already ended with an expected victory for city ) so the first thing to analyze is where they are going to play and the results that both teams had when playing at home and away from home in the last 5 games, then analysis and direct confrontation between these two teams, then I start by analyzing the formation of each team and its players individually, then I analyze the number of goals conceded and scored in the last 5 games, then I analyze the importance of the game for both teams

once this part is done, then I move on to the profitable part, I analyze the value of the odd if it will be worth it, in sports betting, making bets with an odd of @ 1.50 is not worth it, this in the long term is a big loss, that's why making a multibet bet it is the only solution to make a long-term profit, but the problem is that this strategy is very risky, it is enough to lose a single game for all bets to be lost, at the end of the day there is no winning strategy in games of chance, there is no lucrative way in gambling, everyone who is a customer loses and the only one who profits is the owner of the casino and his employees

I did that tried to do higher bet sizes and lower bet sizes , this is purely from what I learned from the game I did, in fact have different opportunities when using higher stakes, using higher stakes a total of 50 rounds found the multiplier is high on auto spin and when on the lowest size I struggle to get that even with 100 auto/manual spins.

I think it's not because the casino is rigged or anything in automatic or manual spins, but manual ones are more effective than what I've done to this day, why is it effective? because in my opinion the longer we play, the greater the chance of winning, manual rotation will take quite a long time to make slot rounds and that provides time delay which makes the chances of winning better to get a win.

If I'm playing a slot in Starlight Princes or Gates of Olympus when I get a big multiplier like x100 - x500 outside of the free spins, that means I have to play another 20+ minutes at different bet sizes every five manual spins, for me doing that effective in 10 times on that pattern I get 7 wins which is not bad even though it's not the maximum win.

I am assuming that you are talking about house edge games and not sports betting because spotting patterns in sports is actually just doing research.

But actually about that autospin myth: there's a very weird and suspicious court case in Finland where man got 9 months parole sentence on suspected cheating in slot machines "somehow".
He got video of the machines and suddenly changed his gambling style from autospins to some specific tactic and got 33k profit. Which is pretty high in here as we don't have very low jackpots in physical machines.

You have to put this trough web translator, i don't think there's any english news on this:

I would be lying if i said that i didn't constantly were looking for them. Human brains are wired to do that to make best of any situation. This doesn't mean that those patterns exist or that we would be smart enough to understand them. I constantly see all sorts of false patterns for winning and losing, they don't make any sense and i let them come and go as they are part of the fun.

To be honest, I don't trust gambling, but I like to gamble in football, because this is a sport that I like and has its own challenges when placing bets on certain clubs. In the slot gambling case there is no pattern that I see to be used as a reference for gamblers, because the available format is only spin and increase the number of bets.

Poker is also one of the interesting gambling compared to the slot, but I can understand everyone has different tastes, as far as I know there is no specific formula in gambling because we often rely on instinct and hope for luck.

Depending on gambling in the first place is never a good thing. Betting some would be fine as long as you can bear losing. No matter what game you engage yourself with, whether cardgame, dice game, sportsbetting and such; winning won't be certain. So choose what would give you enjoyment atleast, 'coz that would make your bets more worthy. What makes gambling bad in the first place is gambler's assumption of getting rich in an instant. This is more likely because of stories wherein players have earned huge reward from playing, without considering how much that player have lost during the 'run'. Everything would be based from luck or one's fate.

I don't know but not seeing any patterns tbh and don't believe such a thing but maybe on more technical perspective of others they see it. If it's happening in milliseconds then that maybe not for human mind to see, or maybe not for me. So, it's best if we bet on sports rather than computer base gambling?

You win today and not tomorrow and maybe not again the next day.

That's the pattern that we all know that when we bet today, we're just lucky and it's totally our lucky day and so we take profits and enjoy with it before the casino takes it back.

There's the gambler's fallacy.

IMO, yup.

You get more chance winning in sports betting than with those type of games and they're mostly known as the luck based games. But you do choose what you think you've got more chance of winning.

I agree in general. When you play a luck based game, any of the possibilities can happen. People do martingale thinking that it will save them but then they lose 10 times in a row and boom then they need to wager a lot more to save their initial bet. When they lose 11th time, all of their stack will be gone. That's the most famous trap the gamblers fall in. Gambling is all about passing the time in a fun way. It is never about making money When the players forget that simple fact and try to make a living out of gambling, everything falls apart.

I tried applying different patterns and strategies based on the success stories and testimonies of other gamblers but what I have learned is that the same fate doesn't always happen for everyone. We might believe in myths, mantras, and techniques but the result is usually luck based. Sports betting might be less risky since we can have a basis on where to bet or rely on trusted predictions compared to computer-based games but we should not disregard the fact that any form of gambling has risks of losing. We can actually create our own strategy but no technique is consistently reliable.

These patterns may not be real, but somehow unexplainable it has helped some gamblers get good wins from casino's.

For example, on slot games played online in some crypto casino's, I asked some of my friends who win big or have won big how they do it, and their response are always different each stating a pattern that they have noticed.

One said, "Whenever I play outside my house, that is on their mobile phones, they always record winning more significant than when they play at home."

Another said that, "He mostly plays slot on his laptop and notices that he getting bigger winning than when he plays on his mobile phone."

Another said, he plays mostly by midnight.

Another said that he gives breaks between the spins.

These are all patterns that these people have noticed, I do not blame them, we all like to think that somehow there is a way to attract/influence luck to be on our side whenever we gamble, especially with luck based games.

Is that true......! How does your friend know that slots are automatically rigged and manually bla.bla. is there any evidence.

To be honest, I often make bets in slot games, manuals are boring for me, even though I rarely press the automatic button, but I often place bets by buying bonuses, rounds are also automatic but in a different way, only buying.

Overall buying bonuses in slot games, more profitable for me, I've won almost every time I made a round in the bonus purchase feature, it was fun for me and it worked, i think if the bookie is cheating in the method of buying bonuses the easiest thing if they do, the fact i saw nothing suspicious i think its a myth.

My only strategies these days which is helping me to cut losses is betting randomly. LOL.
Betting randomly has given me not great profits but no major losses as well.
In a way the losses have decreased a lot since earlier I was using martingale which was giving me huge losses.
At least the losses have been cut which itself is like a win for me.

On the contrary there those who don't seem to see the Martingale strategy as one with a very high risk, but actually it is. The strategy is suited for those with big pockets and not for those with quite a bit, as you may have to lose your bets like on 7 rolls with a corresponding increase on stakes in each bets with a  possibility of a win awaiting you on the 8th and if you're someone with a bit of little pocket you may not even survive to a fifth or sixth bet not to talk of reaching 8th to recover your losses.
And that's why based on this analogy, I take the Martingale strategy in gambling as a strategy favourable to those with large pocket.
Gambling is only fun activity to the rich and wealthy in society, to the other side of the divide it's a different perspective and so it's dependent on where you stand that gambling especially when it involves money should be viewed as a thing of fun or not.

I did believe that dice have patterns. I kept doing it for years and even today once in a while I come back to try again whenever there is free money I earn from dividends.

I never won huge from those things although I just come back to spend the free EOS coins I earn. Maybe the psychology really affected me since lol Although sometimes I get tired of it and just cash out the coins from time to time.

To take it another step deeper, it's worth considering that gambling companies know about this behavior and try to capitalize on it. Not only are these gambling "games" a complex and complete blackbox, they can be engineered in all sorts of ways to squeeze a player. Maybe it is a simple random number generator behind it with an odds correcting algorithm so it doesn't stray too far from the RTP advertised in their favor. However it could just as easily be running lots of different algorithms and data mining activity to figure out how to get you to deposit even more. Whether that involves giving you lots of little wins and slowly depleting your balance over time, instead of allowing you to go bust immediately, or what other psychological tricks they can create.

Lol.  ;D at first when I was going through your comment, I thought you had some kind of beautiful strategy to winning sport bets because thats the field am into too but its seem you have arrived at the one truth there is to gambling which is no strategy is full proof to guaranteeing you a winning its just a matter of how lucky you are. Sometimes myself after going through the stats of the game I want to bet on I discover that the end result is opposite to what I actually predicted. No can definitely win the casino, if they give you winning, its with their left hand and they take it all back with the right hand.

To be honest, I don't believe that patterns can be relied upon in pure luck based gambling games. However, I have a strategy that I used a few years ago that worked for me, but only when luck was on my side.

The strategy involves predicting whether a number from 1 to 100 is odd or even, and it can potentially double the amount you wager.

First, you would start by placing a bet of, for example, 0.001 BTC, and predict whether the number will be odd or even. If you win the bet, you will receive 0.002 BTC. If you lose, you should proceed to a second bet, but this time, with 0.002 BTC, and again predict whether the number will be odd or even. If you lose again, the next bet should be 0.004 BTC, and you should continue to double your wager until you win at least once.

Once you win, you should start from the beginning again.

It can work if you have a large enough amount to bet with, as the chances of losing 7 to 15 consecutive bets are relatively low.

However, I want to say that trying this strategy is at your own risk, and I no longer use it myself because I am not a fan of gambling in pure luck-based games. Personally, I prefer to gamble on sports games, as it adds an element of fun to the experience.

Many gamblers will just come with their own style and approach to gambling and they will seem well convinced of such without even knowing they are just wrong in such approach, if this could have been the reality in gambling then everyone of us could have always source for more money in other to increase our chances of winning, or probably the rich people will be the ones always winning in gambling.


What about those that also wins using the same auto spin, did the casino support them to win because they are familiar gamblers or because they know them in person or just wish to loose their money by granting any gambler a win using auto spin, we have adopted alot of wrong mentality in many areas of live and not in gambling alone and this were things actually far away from the truth about the real state of things.

I do have a betting strategy but it doesn't work most time. What I do on sportbet is to bet with little money on a short slip with this you can win something little and eben though, the result didn't come out as predicted,  have nothing to worry about because I used the money that I can avoid to lose to stake.

Gambling is fun when you are not greedy, and don't see it as a game that will generate huge profit for you. It is when you think that you have to win big and put your hope on the game to be a life changer,this is when you fall for your emotions to stake with big funds,thinking that you will have a better chance of winning.

I beleive I will be lucky if I wear black and it's true to some extent but when we apply the common sense here let's imagine I believe black is lucky colour for me so I wear black all time or most of the time so at the end you didn't really noticed what happens when you wear other colours, but obviously it doesn't make sense while everyone has some superstitious beliefs and myself is not an exception to it.

But I keep it clear If I win I will be happy and if not just feel for loss and move on while most people try to chase and ends up losing more and more.

Well, I been reading you too.

You also have some myth about the casino and other ~XD I think what you wrote in here are different with some conversation in the casino thread ;D even you tell us the result has been decided, still playing and feel like a myth psych casino.

People are always believe in myth, that's just one of our psychology. Even my self sometimes belive it.

Different gamblers have their own preferences so even if there's no direct connection or anything technical related to increasing the winning chance, just let them believe what they think "if it's somehow effective for them". Somehow, once they experience a continuous losing streak, those things will be ignored now.

I do understand those people as personally, I admit, I do have my own things that I followed which I think, are effective at some point, especially when playing luck-based games such as casino games. But of course, technically, no relation to increasing my winning chances. It's more just an instinct and I don't see something wrong with having that own followed pattern in gambling at luck-based games.

The bottom line though, obviously, we should understand that gambling is gambling and always be responsible on our end.

This is Martingale strategy you described. And indeed, it's impossible a pattern can be identified on this method. You can lose 7, 15 or even more times in a row, as results are completely random. You may think to lose more than 15 times in sequence is unlikely, but if you gamble consistently for several hours you will see it does happen more often than you expect.

It might be that Martingale gives us a false impression there is pattern which can be exploited through the strategy, but that is just our psychological working against us. Unfortunatelly most gamblers only see this once they lose their entire bankroll after a long loss streak.

Auto gambling is definitely not a psychologically good way to gamble.

I too dislike auto spin but not for the reasons of being superstitious or paranoid that the casino may be trying to cheat you somehow, but rather for the objective reason that its not really gambling if you let a machine take over for you. Gambling is supposed to be a personal experience, thats why you came to the casino, right? To do it yourself?

Auto spin feels cheap and wrong, which is the main reason I think that some people are so suspicious of it.

When people gamble by themselves and lose/win, they consider that their own achievement/failure because it feels like it is. Auto betting feels like someone else is doing it for you, so when you lose money if feels like someone else's fault.

At the end of the day you leave the casino angry and frustrated even though it's not your fault.

Well, for those who believe that their bet size will increase their chances of winning, sorry to use the "s" word, but that is sheer stupidity, even before I got into gambling, I've known that bet size only increases the amount of money one gets if he or she wins, but does not increase chances of winning in any way.

And as for using the auto bet vs the manual bet button - to be honest, I've always avoided the auto bet button because (like the op said,) I've always believed that button is super rigged, the number of times I've used it, I ended up with burnt bankroll on each of the occasions, so if anybody believes the auto bet feature is rigged, I honestly do not blame them.

Basically, the first time we get to know gambling we don't know anything other than playing or gambling. however, over time, our understanding of gambling evolves as experience increases and one of the undeniable factors that contributes the most is community.

Previously, many gamblers didn't know what RTP was, what RNG was. what are patterns, martingale, odds, strategies, methods, and all kinds. we develop, whether we realize it or not, we come to know that in gambling or gambling games there are many myths that we believed before. even before, we doubted whether or not a casino that became our favorite was fair. in essence, the community provides a lot of information that becomes our knowledge, experience, insight, experience. although, not a few still believe in the myths as you say.

In fact, we used to be like that. I've read one of your posts, about land casinos and online casinos. we can talk about the difference, even whether a slot game is fair or not. however, the purpose of our discussion is not that. for me, i don't really care about all that. Basically, I play for fun. if it wins i consider it a bonus from the fun part. why, let's talk about the facts, that the probability of winning that we have is smaller than the ratio of defeats. that's why, I only play for fun within limits. However, for football, I can seriously bet on something. I mean, sports betting provides a higher chance of winning when compared to casino games.

The only pattern I think I have is not to use the autobet feature on dices, crash and plinko. It does not have anything to do with the trust I have on the provably fair games on the casino, but rather it is a little pattern I have so I won't lose track of my winnings and losses, so I won't get carried away either and do not lose my focus. I feel if I went for the autobet, I could end losing more and even faster than I am would feel comfortable with.

One pattern I always see is that wagering in the same game for too long increases the losing streak and or make it more difficult to win a game.  I observed it not only in slots but also in other games such as dice.  Although I also believe that the result of each spin or bet is random and is independent from each other, I cannot deny the experience that it gets harder to win if we stay too long in the same game.


I agree that bet size has nothing to do about the result of a game.  Since it has been established that the amount wagered can't affect the possibility of winnings.  We have seen huge rollers win a bet while small roller losses it. This is an established fact that the luck-based game result is random.

Hahaha! Finding patterns in gambling? It's like a Da Vinci code inside a Trump Tower – might feel impossible, but we're irresistibly drawn to it!

But let's face it, even if our bets seem as strategic as an intricate conspiracy, the house always has the upper hand. Bigly. That's why we gotta gamble smart and within our budget, folks.

Feeling lucky? Give online slots a whirl! Just beware the "manual spin" ruse – it's like driving a Lamborghini with no engine. Looks impressive, but in the end, we're just spinning our wheels. Incredible!

The only pattern I see and believe is the one where we are expected to lose regardless but back then when I was still active in playing casino games I used to believe that playing the same game in other casinos would help me skip my potential losses from the previous casinos that I've played on. At that time, it worked and I thought I should stick to it but later on, it didn't matter as I went through so much loss afterward.

That's true, even though slots have different versions (high volatility, multipliers, etc) their ending is still the same as any other casino game.

I used to believe that but after many sessions, I have proven that luck is still a factor and manual and auto have nothing to do with winning, but manual betting is a more acceptable way to lose and have higher chances of winning because you are in full control of the bet, I have a good winning rate playing manually than playing with auto, and usually when I can quit at the right time with small winning, the best strategy is still knowing how to quit at the right time, not chasing your losses or even taking a chance to win more.

Lol stopping the spin half way works for me, but not always. I knew it wasn't a method, but its not of importance to wait till the spinning is over since the outcome is already determined. The psychology of betting differs, depending on how players understands gambling. Playing gambling consistently is a psychology that helps players to detect how to follow a slot machine especially for offline casino. Also, having a gambling partner facilitate our playing experience, because we'll have to discuss our observance with our partner while playing games. One last thing is that, nobody shares their gambling strategy if they've got any. Players can only inform you of few tips that can lead you to make better stakes, but will never open up what actually works for them. I know they're methods to gambling that'll reduce the losing rate, and increase the winning rate of a players. It's not new, many players make more funds in gambling than others, so that proves that different players have studied the machine and concluded ways to follow it and it works for them. Hence that doesn't mean they don't lose games.

Well, if we do gamble then it would really be adding up in overall experience on which someone do really love on seeking for some patterns and molding up their own beliefs or even following into those
common approach which it isnt really that something shocking for most gamblers to do so. Well, i dont really see something like this because this do really add up some spice on the time
that you do really play. Somewhat if you do try to make something to happen or making it effective, then it would be an another story yet these things would really be creating that kind of desperation which is something that might be molding up some addiction later on or for how many sessions if you do really keep up this kind of behavior.

I do have the same behavior on which i do make out some alternate switching from auto to manual betting on dice on which i do have those kind of hunches or feeling that it might increased
the winning odds but of course those are just really assumptions until results come and in the end of the day you would be losing your entire balance but of course there
are indeed days which you could really say that you are really that somewhat lucky.

LOL, I do love the auto spin features though, the excited is the same as the manual spin. And for added intensity, I set the auto spin to be very quick. So when you hit the bonus real, it's feels good. So I do this whether online or offline games. And if I ever wanted to go back to manual spin and get tired or auto spin or at least the strategy is not successful, then it's just another button and then the game continues.


I know, luck really play a important role in slot games, and there are no strategy that is going to work even when we thought that there is such pattern that we can make of every reel spin or even pressed. But still though, the psychology of slot machines is really playing on our gamblers emotions that we think we can beat the system if we see a patterns.

When I'm playing luck-based games I never rely on patterns, it's like saying that you are a fan of Martingale but I prefer manual to auto most of the time I enjoy playing in manual mode because of the feeling of full control and enjoying every bet, in a luck based game you win if you are lucky to win.
When playing a luck-based game, do what you enjoy the most it will give you a good chance to win because you are positive, playing in a casino whether online or offline should be fun and enjoyable this should be your main goal.

I think you mention tricks (OP) that are a part of the complex thought environment.

There are books on game theory in the same way there is documentation on the psychology of betting in general but specifically on poker there is very good documentation.

Now, in the case Slots, I honestly think it goes more to the simple aspect, as I said "tricks" or prejudice, so, they are honestly not relevant aspects psychology to betting.

In any case, although it is also true that if this is part of your routineto betting, and it does not affect your gambling finance, use them. In fact have fun thinking that if you play at a certain time of day day you will have more luck in a slot.

this is what desperate gamblers wanted to tell themselves so at least
they will have reason to continue with their dreams that instead of gaining ? they are losing and that is the hard fact about gambling nowadays.
if you are a friend of LUCK? of course this is possible as what I have tried before and what i've seen from some friends in gambling.
Hahaha, admit it mate as we once believe the same thing only to find out that we are fooling ourselves  ;D ;D

again another laughing as I did many times before , as now I realized i am stupid to believe in lol.
Nowadays? there is only one pattern that I believe ,and that is to be a winner we must be lucky .

I belong to a highly superstitious culture where gambling is also prevalent. Superstition and gambling shouldn't go together, but they seem to be deeply intertwined in my culture that things are getting both funny and unreasonable.

Patterns form part of this superstition. I sometimes bet on cockfighting. This brutal form of gambling is also deeply cultural. And this is also where bettors look for patterns everywhere including the color of the fighting cocks' feathers, the color of their legs, the phase of the moon, and so on.

At the end of the day, many go home bringing nothing. LOL!

do you live in a place where Gamblers even put Offering to the God believing this will bring them winning?
or they have those Amulet that believing it is for luck to be friendly with them?  ;D I think I can fell you there mate haha.
What I do believe in cockfighting is the breeding , or what they called the Bloodlines that in many Derby players is one big factor to see how much capacity that cock to win?

I'm not sure about offering to god, but I know that many are praying to win in gambling. Many are putting their lottery and raffle tickets on the altar, in between pages of the bible, underneath the figurines of saints, and so on. Amulet? There is probably also that kind used in gambling, but I have heard of stories that amulets shouldn't be brought inside gambling places like the cockpit arena because it will only bring you bad luck, or it won't actually have powers inside such places. Stories, you know.


That's probably just one factor. There are many others including, and more importantly, the conditioning.

When you learn the mathematics at the basis of gambling you realize that there are no patterns, but that patterns are constructions that we humans make when we try to see regularities in the observed phenomena. This happens not only in gambling but in life in general, and, for example, in trying to predict the price of Bitcoin. We look at past data, construct patterns based on it, and extrapolate it into the future expecting it to be so... until at some point in the future the data disproves our pattern.

Perhaps the only pattern I see that is not clearly defined but one that I can see in a generic way is playing poker. A person like me who has played millions of hands over many years, when I am winning extraordinarily above average for a while, I know that those extraordinarily positive results cannot last much longer, and conversely with negative results or bad streaks. But it is not something absolutely definite, nor is it based solely on intuition but on the mathematics of variance. You can use variance calculators to see how likely a bad streak is to last based on your winrate and number of hands played.

If we talk about the psychology of gambling, our subconscious will only think that using a lot of money can provide a chance to win more but that is not the case. We can lose more than we used a little money, which can trigger us to deposit more in hopes of recovering previous losses. So in this case, I don't see any patterns in gambling or maybe there really is because I never see it when I play gambling.

Maybe some people are trying to collect data from previous games and analyze it to find some pattern they can use to predict. Maybe it did happen like that but for luck-based gambling games, there might not be such a pattern because gambling games require luck from each gambler to win.

There is a difference between betting behavior and the psychology behind it and how operators manipulate the RTP of the casino. My observations about the casino that you mentioned are based on several people's experience and not just on my own opinion.

I form part of a gambling WhatsApp group that are constantly exchanging information on their gambling experience to find a "sweet spot" for times when a casino RTP are most favorable to wager or to simply play with the best outcome.

Example : We play at different times, but when someone is having a good betting experience.. he or she will share it via WhatsApp and the others will join... to test if this is just a favorable seed or if the RTP has been altered. (We had some success with this, so it's based on actual experience)  ;)

The Psychology of betting does not really exist there is no right pattern in playing gambling but patterns only help us decide what we should do, I have played a lot of types of casino games but the key purpose was not to get rich but to be accommodated by the pattern of how would you play it, Well suggestion and recommendation are all correct not all technique will work for that certain person, and not all pattern will be effective for everyone, the key technique for me is a mindset and for you to not get addicted is the mindset to think that not all gambling type will make you rich, there are sure people getting rich and lucky about it, that is just bonus in playing, but don't expect that if you play that it will be eventually a game-changing for them,

Casino -  All casino's are random you just need to have a mindset that all Casino platforms can not make you rich and lessen the budget you are using in playing it, and a mindset in playing it to be fun,

Sportsbet - Sportsbets are easier to predict if you got certain knowledge about the kind of game, teams, players, fighters, and so on, you can accumulate more wins however all bets will be a great win there are times that it will still be base on luck,

pressing the bet button before the reels stop, I always do that every time I play a slot game and I try to stop without doing that like feeling dissatisfied. maybe I'm addicted to psychological habits  :P

every gambler always has psychological habits like that which make gamblers feel satisfied doing those things. maybe it's true that some thoughts like that are a myth, but there are still many gamblers who do it for satisfaction in every betting session.

I'm always on the belief that gambling in its entirety is absolutely on luck and little skills and experience. Patterns do not always work either while unplanned decisions sometimes work out. Sports betting can be easy to predict per say but for the prediction to come through is mysterious. However, one should not even have a thought of becoming rich by gambling. It's never an investment that one should expect a return and having high hopes on it will cause mental discomfort.

the psychological aspect in betting is fundamental.
I would dare to define it as the basis of casinos. After all, if you think about it, we all know that...the more you play, the more you will lose and the chances of winning the "big jackpot" are close to zero and yet....

---

always on the same subject, some casinos have introduced the possibility of pressing the stop on a roulette wheel while it is spinning because it actually "gives the idea of having control over what is happening". Of course it doesn't change anything, the result is predetermined, but this deludes the user into having "control" over what's going on.

We do have our own strategies or pre game rituals that we though it can boost our luck like the auto spin in slots which i do agree and i dont really use auto spin and that is my preference and also I've enjoy hitting the button though. It doesn't matter if it is just a myth or we do have bases on it as long as we just thought that it makes us lucky then give us a go. I dont have really strategies in gambling , i just stick on playing it for entertainment though but for lottery i do have like calculation and etc.

Honestly, I also bet manually as I believe there are also patterns. I like losing 5 bets for example and then I will double the amount of my bet for the next 3. But that's only for Dice and not Slots. Somehow it is successful but it's difficult to win bigger amounts as it gets frustrating sometimes and you just want to bet higher.
About the betting high amount for a higher chance to win? I have a different belief about that. The higher your bet is, the lower the chance for it to win.
I tested it with dice too. Whenever I bet 10x larger after the 5 consecutive losses in a small amount, it's still always a lost round. I even did twice 10x and it's still a loss.
You are correct, there are really no patterns but some gamblers keep on going because they believe it exists. Take out that belief from them and they might find another game.

Right! Because if there's really a pattern about betting and it works with everyone else then I don't think we will have dozens of online/offline casinos emerging everywhere in the world. No such billionaires will dive in into that kind of business because their profits are already not guaranteed, and they don't have what we call house edge. But that wasn't really the case, psychology betting is just how we would like to believe things and not really to improve our chances against the bookies or casinos.

For me, it's just a charm for us to help us be confident on our bets because we believe on such things. And talking about the types of betting, I'm a sports betting type of person because that's where my chances are average compared to luck-based games.

I also know a lot of people who think that the auto spin thing is real and they can actually get better results if they spin it manually instead of putting it on auto mode which is obviously a myth but people won't believe it. I've also heard people saying that betting higher increases your chances of winning which as you said is wrong and it only increases your winnings and not the chances of winning.

I personally don't see any patterns, I do believe in stuff like when you are losing consecutively, you better stop for a while and restart your session after some time so that you mind is relaxed and you might gain some luck by then.

Mate I agreed with some of your sayings and disagreed with some. In the psychology of betting, every gambler has their ways of thinking and methods of betting. That is why a bet that favour one gambler does not favour another gambler. Gambling methods are different from each other. And also the prediction we made have never come in tally with one another. I agreed with you on the second paragraph. Really people are saying that the bigger you bet the bigger you win and that has led many gamblers to loss money. That is a fantasy story. There are some gamblers that use a small amount of money and still win big. So one can win big with any amount of stake.

Yeah, one can indeed, win big with any amount of stake, but understand that winning big with a small amount of money simply means that, the odds of the game has to be very big, and you and I know that the higher the odds, the more risky the bet is, that is, the higher your chances of losing your money.

This is exactly what happens with multi bets, that is having multiple bets on one slip, depending on how many the game is and their respective odds, the final odds grows high which give one a chance of winning really big amount of money even with a very little amount at stake, but then also, the chances of losing the bet is also very high.

No one is immune from gambling as long as they have a hobby in sports, but to what extent can people be responsible for the gambling decisions they choose? This is what you have to avoid, namely the mindset of getting rich quick without working smart at all like the fairy tales that we often hear behind the success of people at gambling. More precisely people can't avoid gambling if they don't want to, there is one piece of advice that I often hear "Habit will lead you to addiction".

Therefore avoid irresponsible gambling, gamble only when you can afford to lose money and avoid interpreting gambling very close to wealth. In fact, getting rich does not happen because relying solely on luck and engaging in gambling using small amounts of money will not make people richer either.

Gambler's Fallacy basically. Our pattern-loving brains making a fool out of us and making us believe that just because a particular outcome hasn't happened in a while, would equate to meaning it would happen soon, which is just wrong and is a fool's way of thinking in my opinion.

As for your friends' being iffy with the auto-spin feature of the slots they play. That's a little stupid too as you put it lmao. If the casino could rig their machines to favor them when a gambler uses auto-spin, what makes them safe from getting ripped off by the casino with the manual spin as well? And for that matter why are they playing in a casino that they do not trust?

As for me, I often fall victim to gambler's fallacy, especially back in the days when I don't know better. I used to gamble a lot on dice and hi-lo, as well as slots, which are very prone to this type of Fallacy. I crank the lever, lose, and say to myself that "since the jackpot's not come this turn, maybe in the next couple of spins I'd get it" only to be disappointed over and over again.

Actually it does really add up that kind of thrill and vibe which we do really want to experience on the time that we do gamble. We do play gambling for fun and entertainment and there's no enjoyment
on the time that you do make out bets but you are just putting up your bets without having no emotion or  doesnt really think off for some strategy or somewhat correlated to this which
it do really remove out that general essence on whats the real purpose of gambling in the first place.Of course we do really like to win up and this is where we do think up on testing some strategies
which it would really be just a normal approach. Some are already that knowing that it is really not that something that could work because gambling is totally random
and you cant really be that lucky as always so its a normal approach and normal dealing where you would be testing out countless strategies until you would see that one of them do work and
that what makes you happy.  :D

It's totally a myth.

We're just having that feeling that we thought that something is wrong because we have put it on auto and what an another coincidence if we did it manually and the results are perfect and good for us.

That's another myth and wants other to have that YOLO mentally. Because whether you bet high or low, the chance doesn't change but the risk you take is still the same.

For me personally I don't prefer Martingale strategy at all because you are at risk of losing more with it but don't know how some players find it good because they want to win no matter how much they wager.I am also of the opinion that you place small bets and even if you have decent win not too big that's really good for you giving you joy instead of losing more in high hopes.

We all look for those patterns, even though such "patterns" don't really exists. It's just a human nature and a way of giving them a "hope" when they start losing. And yeah, people do think that if they bet more, they will eventually win, or if they are in a huge red streak, the next bet will more likely be a winning bet, the autospin feature is rigged (might be.. who knows...) or if you bet high, you start losing. But most of these aren't true and its all in peoples head. Everything depends on the RTP and the randomness of the result.
Yeah, I do used to hit the bet button and try to stop the wheel at the perfect combination, even though I did know that all the results are determined as soon as you hit the spin button and the spinning slots are just animations.

Gambling? It's like a tremendous, mysterious chocolate box, folks. You never know, but with strategy, you can boost your chances of sweet victory, or a winning streak, bigly. Think of it as chess, predicting opponents' moves. But there's a twist, a blend of luck and tactics. Imagine Mario Kart and Scrabble had an incredible, unpredictable offspring! Feeling lucky? Go ahead, toss those dice, whirl the wheel, or unveil the card. Who knows? You might strike gold, and etch your name in gambling history. Believe me!

If they think it's BS they will never use or believe on it. Not all patterns are found randomly but a gambler can record his gambling activity to have an accurate pattern. They will then use it and expect the same outcome will come out as the past. There are times that they will win again but it does not mean their patterns are working fine. They win because they only got lucky.

To have a confidence in gambling is important because you know what actions you will be doing and you will never regret and say that you should choose the other one that's on your mind earlier but confidence can come in within our own self. No need to fake it by using patterns.

like looking for a golden needle in a huge haystack. as long as we continue to search carefully and thoroughly like gambling, we will definitely find that luck.
but here the problem is that sometimes every gambler has a slightly strange psychological habit in every bet they make, such as using patterns in slot games and pressing the bet button before the reels stop. this is a psychological habit that gamblers may become addicted to because this habit seems like something comfortable to do.

Because we think that the casino is using patterns as well. Some people recall the results and spend time analyzing them until they come to the point that there is a pattern being applied and they try to use it in actual gambling. However, the results seem too far from what we expect and it comes to my mind that whatever we do -strategies and patterns, this won't increase our chance of winning. The thing that could help us is to have luck, nothing else. Yet, that was too hard to get as it comes unexpectedly as well.

I agree, it may seems that our strategy can be useful sometimes and we will use that thing for so long even though it is not helpful anymore and that could be bad because we will deny that our trick is no longer useful , we should trust our luck and just enjoy the game. I may agree that at some point all our strategies will be useful but it will end eventually.

Are you serious? Do people bet on cocks based on the colors of their feet and feathers instead of their fighting abilities?  ;D That's hilarious, no wonder why they go home with nothing at the end of the day. Superstition should never be taken seriously when it comes to gambling because it's purely a game of luck and none of these things have anything to do with winning or losing.

People who look at patterns and believe they might have an influence on their games and luck are basically living in a world full of dreams and are not able to see things practically. Nothing other than luck can make you win in gambling unless the game is skill-based.

There is no cure for Superstitions. People believe in something which makes no logical sense but still, they will feel comfortable betting based on their Superstitions beliefs. Sometimes they will win the bets and this will make their Superstition belief more strong.
Such people will never listen to you if you say that they are emotional and these Superstitions do not make any difference in the result of the game. I would suggest leaving those people to their beliefs as they are happy with what they are doing, meaning not make fun of them or spend time proving them wrong.

Well, you have a point. It's much better to play without worrying about anything because if you are thinking so much, you'll lose the fun. Overthinking can cause anxiety and some people don't really have the mental headspace to even deal with such. Hence, there are people existing like you who don't give a damn about strategies or techniques because you're just after the entertainment, not profit.

Personally, I think it's much better to have a strategy in playing to somehow increase the probability of winning. I'm the type of person that when I gamble, which I rarely do, I'm after the combination of fun and profit. I can spare some change and not expect anything in return, but I can't risk so much without assurance I will take and make some because after all, earning money is a challenge nowadays. But it's good for people like you that you have nothing to ponder on because all you want is to have a good time and it's just a bonus if you will win. Just still be reminded that do everything in moderation.

If you notice that you have a pattern that you get personally it is more fun in gambling, everything is systematic and has the assumption that success is greater even though it is not certain, but if what we do is considered a pattern in gambling and we do it and have luck when using it makes us feel more comfortable and happier, i am long enough in gambling i understand that pattern is bullshit but it gives better psychology in the gambling we do.

If it were me, do like what you do it, this feels dry gaming experience and uninteresting, just watching the rounds go by without having anything to rely on in gambling to make it more fun.

I have only seen one time cock fighting because it's forbidden in my country except in few overseas areas but I don't think it's stupid to care about the color of their feathers or the color of their legs because there could be a correlation with their ability to win fights. Statistics must be monitored before claiming it's right or wrong IMO. I agree with you about the phase of the moon, because the moon is the same for all cocks, but any individual characteristics have to be taken into account, and can lead to a better Profit and Loss. I guess performance-enhancing/doping drugs are given by some owners and it's an important thing to know though.

Superstition shouldn't be brought into gambling in my opinion as that probably makes someone lose even more. Luck doesn't go a particular way that a person might think or believe in but it just happens when it has to, so having this kind of mindset where one thinks they might get a big win if they stop the machine before its usual time, etc. will not do any good at all.

One should think realistically and behave that way too in gambling or even anything in life so that one can easily accept and digest whatever happens. It becomes more difficult to accept losses for people who are superstitious.

we should always remember that this is luck-based game, so yeah, auto spin or manual spin, it doesn't matter. you are just psychologically setting-up your minds when you do the manual spin. or better yet, you have the chance to skip some rolls and go to another one just like in any other game of chance.
if all the known strategies like martingale or d'alembert or any other strategy really works in long-term, i bet, a lot of players are already rich from these known strategies. and yet, no matter how they use it, they are still on the losing side if they don't stop playing. that means, the strategy may work for quite some time but the magic disappears in the longer run.

I second this stance.  I have been playing in a gambling casino for years now and no matter what approach I do, it don't change the result of a game of chance gambling game.  All the result is random according to the script that is present in the system.  I tried slow spin, auto spin, fast spin and even the fast-forward spin by pressing the spacebar.  The result is still random.  Sometimes I get into the bonus round through auto spin sometimes on manual spins and so on.  What constant in my observation is the longer we stay in the same game, the longer the losing streak we experience.



Out mind is just looking for a possible instant where we can have an advantage so when it is delivered on some pattern, we thought that we find the secret pattert to succes but eventually, our bankroll will get depleted using that key to success thing.

I strongly believe that these so-called patterns are made by the gamblers themselves in order to pacify the situation that they are facing. They are looking for ways to at least mitigate the damage as they are bargaining against themselves about it. When they see at least a glimmer of hope, they attempt to view it as a "pattern" and convince themselves that everything would be alright in the end.

Though this may be the case, I definitely agree with you that the outcome has already been pre-determined by the casino. Due to the presence of house edges, this gives the casino at least a tiny bit of advantage whenever you try to gamble on their respective platforms.

Back when I used to gamble, I used to believe that my every 3rd bet would win. So made bets that were divisible by the number of 3 and continued it. It at least gave me comfort but at the end I incurred significant losses.

If you are that someone who does have that kind of thinking on which you are really that trying to pursue on making things to work.We know that luck isnt something that we could really be able to influence nor
able to control and since we are doing or engaging with gambling then we know that it is really that a huge factor for us to win. There's no such thing about superstitious beliefs or behavior or whatever things that you would
do for you to make yourself having that advantage or making yourself to have that winning phase or condition. Just go with the real essence of gambling which is for entertainment and never expect or anticipate
about having that sure win because this would really be just creating that kind of desperation which is something that we should really need to avoid.

Play according into your leisure needs and play according to entertainment. Gambling wasnt build for making people do make rich but rather it would really be just good for some past time.
Winning some money is really just that a bonus in overall and with this kind of mindset then you wont really be making yourself that addicted to it.

In a luck-based game patterns never exist, what's good for you today, maybe not good for you tomorrow or in the coming days, one example is the use of martingale this is the pattern or method commonly used by newbies because there is a logic behind it but logic do not apply in gambling when it comes to luck based game, unexpected things happen, this what makes gambling very exciting because you never know when you are going to hit the jackpot.

We all know that there is no guaranteed win in gambling, any strategy applied to get a guaranteed win can also lead to losses. Though we are often encouraged to use the martingale method. But here a gambler must keep a special concern on his money. Using the martingale method, if someone lose once, have to bet higher than previous bet money and if consecutive lose there, someone have to bet more, which is very difficult for most gamblers.

Auto bet is ok but I still wouldnt leave it running for an extended period only as a way to place many small bets while you do something else briefly, it can be useful and the results are the same as spinning manually I think is fair to say.  I've never noticed a difference but there is also the valid argument if you really arent paying attention maybe its best to stop, as I said I only use it will small amounts to bet multiple times and advance the game hopefully.

And that's why I say "deep down", cause people will never admit to the patterns or "strategies" they follow as something useless. Even patterns that are based on past games are just bs, if it actually worked then a lot of people would be swimming in cash right now. As you said, they win only because they were lucky, and that's all you need to take into account when talking about gambling.

I don't blame people for using (or pretending) to use it to boost their confidence, it isn't wrong anyway and I myself use it at times. It's part of the fun sometimes anyway, looking for dumb patterns that may (or may not) exist and then suddenly going "hey, that might actually work" only to sink the rest of your balance down the drain.

Everything is about patterns. Avid cockfighting bettors are very observant. They will see patterns in everything. If previous fights saw white-legged cocks winning over yellow-legged ones, they will take note of it. But that's not the only factor. For example, white-legged ones are winning over yellow-legged ones but only if the former are the favorites, or if the latter are red-feathered. It's more complicated than it seems.

As to the phase of the moon, they also have patterns like it's a full moon today, bulik roosters are expected to win over white roosters.

In cockfighting, you can't bet based on performance. You will bet beforehand; you don't know how they will fight.

It's funny how gambling has significant effects on gamblers' psychology that they tend to be keen and creative in their imaginations.

Martingale is not a good strategy if your purpose is to recover your previous losses, instead it can only drain your funds fast especially if you have a limited bankroll.

I'm a Baccarat live game regular player and though we believe that these patterns are just in mind of a gambler as working, my strategy when playing is, i'm following these patterns because of the thought that it can actually work. For example, if the winning bets are on side of banker for 3 consecutively, then followed by 1 on side of player, I tend to follow it and see if the next winning bets would be the same. Sometimes it's working but often not, though it's not accurate, somehow it can help you to choose what bets are likely to win.

Neither strategy nor prediction maker can ever guarantee victory in gambling because it's all just a way to be able to gamble well and in fact what can bring victory is only luck.
No matter how good a gambler is and how accurate the strategy is, if luck is not on your side, you will definitely get defeat.
Several defeats in gambling can affect the mentality and psyche of a gambler which will raise a high curiosity that makes them try hard to win.
Even though the martingale is a pretty good playing strategy, in this strategy gamblers have to prepare an unlimited amount of money in order to survive with the aim of winning games at high bets, it's just that some gamblers don't realize that by using the martingale strategy they can spend money very large amount.

I don't believe they don't exist, there's lots of spiritual energy in the world and they all have their role to play. Just like we had lucky socks when we were younger and it gave us confidence when we were about carrying out an activity like sport.

That's the same way this beliefs help us in life, even though they're not true as you said but they give us hope and with hope you can achieve many things in life. For example when playing the slots game, I go with manual spin and it works for me.

If I try spinning on automatic mode, I won't win any of the spin and would just have wasted all my money or in a situation when I win, the payout will be small when compared to when I spin manually and that's how I play when I want to win.

For spins that seem hard to spin, wagering conditions apply to winnings from free spins. Once the free spins are used, the winnings are transferred to the bonus account. This money can be used to play various casino games but players have to bet a certain amount before they can cash it out. This is why casino spin bonuses have wagering conditions and cashout restrictions. That's why it's easy to do manually. Before starting the game with spins, they must be analyzed carefully.

        -  Those patterns are also useless, it still appears in the end that our winnings are still based on luck when we play gambling. So the auto bet is just a big joke.

So what others have said is still correct that it's better to just enjoy gambling at the casino here with the crypto gambling bonus only if you win suddenly in the games that the gambling platform has.

Indeed! That's what I also learn from playing and trading. There will be some days that it could be good and beneficial and there will be some days that it will be bad. If I can sense that something is about to happen, I immediately stop doing what I am doing, if the strategy is no longer good for my plays then I will just enjoy the game rather than doing anything to win.

Luck? Not when you have the ultimate trifecta of a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover, and a horseshoe! Joking aside, people: gaming may be influenced by luck, but superstition? It's a surefire route to insanity. We'll pass on that. Think about what will get your heart racing: the unknown, the fear, the excitement. For fun or profit, let's enjoy the crazy ride of gambling. Losses? These things are inevitable. In any case, that's part of the thrill and excitement of the hunt. The goal is irrelevant; what matters is the journey. Let's roll the dice and see what happens. One day, luck could shine on you. Even if you don't, you'll still have amazing stories to tell. Use a fortunate charm? What's the harm in that, right?

I completely agree with the author of this thread. As far as I know, everything is our brain's fault, which builds logic chains. And such logical chains are built all the time, even where there is no logical connection. So you just need to know this and not rely on something that does not really exist.

I have a positive attitude to auto bets because sometimes it's just boring to click the mouse and this feature adds only extra comfort during the game.

That only happens because we don't understand the basics gambling and math behind it. Everyday people re-discover martingale and other crap strategies like it. When they find out about it, first they think they are onto something that nobody knows about and it is going to make them rich. They try and see that's not happening and they are indeed not the first people who discovered these "strategies". If they are stubborn about it, they will try other "strategies", other patterns which are also derived from the original martingale... and they will fail as well. If they are smart enough, they will realize that they ain't getting rich this way. If not, they will keep playing till they lose everything they got.

Only those who are wise enough look for patterns because they are also desperate to improve while the rest is just going with the flow. What I know is that patterns are a repeated action. It is done step by step and it is real but it's hard for it to work in gambling because of its unpredictable state/nature. To have a hope is not wrong. It helps us to push further and sometimes we can still recover and end up with a profit but we can't experience this if we stop early.

Those on your second sentence are not true. It's just a false belief but I know, many gamblers still carry that mindset up until now. As for your last sentence, I think you are just bored or sometimes desperate. I did that sometimes in different games but I know they are just animations which does not affect the game at any way.

Others might have seen patterns from betting but for me, I don’t think they do exist. Gambling is very uncertain so it’s hard to see patterns on it, one thing that is only certain for me is that in gambling, it’s always the house that takes the edge and able to win. So whether you bet in slots or sports betting, it does not guarantee that you have bigger chances to win from sports betting than slots. Gambling is just a matter of luck, whether it has patterns or not, gambling will only make us lose until our funds will be used up.

When I play some games/providers at BC with "'live stats" on, I see the result of the spin/bonus round on the live stats right away. So yes, when we press the bet button the outcome is already determined.
And nothing helps with slots, it's either our lucky day or not. I had many lucky and unlucky days, with manual/auto/buying bonuses, when it comes to slots.


I guess there are patterns everywhere, even in gambling. I believe there are... and most of the time we see them and we even have some nice hits, but the problem with lucky-based games is usually greediness. When profit is insignificant and we wish for more and when after some big win we think we can win even more.

The conclusion is simple, play just with the money you can afford to lose! That way you can have fun with your amount and you can allow yourself to risk and get some excitement from that, even if you win or lose. But don't let yourself get carried away by gambling and think that there is a quick profit in gambling after some nice win, that thinking leads people into trouble. Learn from other people's mistakes.

People always talk about strategy in gamble but I disagree because bet does not have strategy because the more you think you know the more you fail, even when you consistently play a particular odd that favours you one day you will get the greatest shock in the game because it will fail.

I still remember the day when the Sweet Bonanza slot of Pragamtic has failed me after 60 bonus buys on the martingale system bets. I can't get the point of why one slot gonna be so bad even after so many bonus buys, if RTP is based on the gameplay it shouldn't drain my balance in so many bonus buys. Maybe I was doing something wrong but only thing I learned that day was if the slot doesn't pay in the first 5 bonus buys then it is a waste of money to keep chasing bigger. Some users even lose their life savings to look for some patterns on either slots or dice, we have to respect our financial limits in such situations in order to prevent worst-case scenarios.

Bet size has nothing to do with the probability of you winning on any staked game.... Yunno, everything about gambling is manually driven by greed - since man's want is insatiable, it'll simply create an impression of having a maneuver or quicker possibilities of Having a good outcome, Which Is not entirely true.
Dude, there are no tricks to winning on casinos.... everything happens by chance,...it's that simple. Nobody is noted for Staking multiple times already - so the casino would atleast compensate him for Staking too much without winnings, NOBODY. Winning comes by chance!...
I don't believe in gambling.

if you are betting on luck-based games, there's no known strategy that can indeed guarantee your winnings. but you can work with some of the popular ones like martingale, however, you also have no way in knowing when will luck will hit you. so yeah, games of chance, don't expect you will go home as a winner.
people should accept the fact that when in gambling, always use your spare money, otherwise you are subjecting yourself to getting rekt if you will use your money for your bills or for your food.

^ No, it seems like a wrong perception which I don't agree with.
Gambling is a form of entertainment that should be approached with caution and with the understanding that it is primarily a game of chance. While some strategies may increase your chances of winning, there is no foolproof method that guarantees success. It is always important to gamble responsibly and only use money that you can afford to lose. Using your spare money ensures that you won't put yourself in financial jeopardy, which is crucial when it comes to gambling. Remember, the goal of gambling should be to have fun and enjoy the experience, not to make a profit.

I agree with the proposition that we as humans are conditioned to seek patterns in life because the evolutionary process has programmed us in a way that compels us to establish causal relationships between events. However, I don't use very specific methods. I only take a little break from betting when I have suffered large losses. This way, I get some rest and have a calmer mind when I bet again.

There are a lot of factors that affect the outcome of a bet. For example, you can bet on an odds of 1.5 or 2.5, If you are lucky enough, you can bet on a bet of $1,000 or $2,000, which is a lot of money in the long run.

I wasn't sure if this is really the case, it definitely makes the most sense. The code behind the casino games should know instantly if we lost or won, and only takes a longer time to display the results to make it more interesting and exciting for us. Slot machines are very visual games that use different themes to attract players. Even in online roulette games I would expect it to be the same. It's only in physical casinos where we have to wait for the wheel to stop spinning before we can see who won and who lost. Like your friends I also don't like the autoplay button and always spin myself. It's more time consuming but I feel more in control and can stop when winning some money. So far I haven't noticed any patterns in slot games and aren't really looking for some. My favourite pattern in gambling is at roulette to pick the opposite color when there are 6-7 reds or blacks in a row. This is of course superstitious and no real pattern.

There are a lot of factors that affect the outcome of a bet. For example, you can bet on an odds of 1.5 or 2.5, If you are lucky enough, you can bet on a bet of $1,000 or $2,000, which is a lot of money in the long run.

I don't bet on any other games than football because it's my favorite sport, so I waste a lot of time there. However, the only betting method I know is how to analyze a team that is playing the game I want to bet on. And I used to wager a lot, but now I don't since I don't trust gambling, so even if I lose the money, it won't be too much as if I bet a lot.Well, I can't fault those who have gambling strategies because that is their decision and how they believe it will work out for them. However, if I want to gamble and use someone else's strategies, it might not work out for me because that person is the owner of the strategies or I might know a little bit about the method, which could lead to me losing my money even though we all know that's how gambling works.

Its sad that many people believe ui and obvious code works at the same time and can't tell their difference. I think people are too much visually addicted so they don't understand what's going inside. Also people just go look around casinos or gambling websites only to win. They count themselves unlucky if they can't. Some claim all games are rigged against us. Its very sad that some gamblers have very weak mentality. I hope people develop themselves.

Indeed!

This is where people should really be wary of on which there's no such thing about strategy or ways on how to make yourself at advantage in speaking about those coded or programmed applications or machines which
there's no way for us to tell if those are fair ones or not.We've seen that there are people who do win up and this what makes us to be interested or really spark out our emotions and this is why we wont really be that mindful much when it comes to fairness.Its a common human being approach specially if you arent that having the past experience of these slot games.

You would really be most likely be going or continue to play without minding about its fairness as long you do see that there are lots of people who had been playing around or sticking with it.
As long you would really be that dealing on a place where popularity and recognition is high then it would really be that sufficient thing for you to get convinced that they are really indeed fair.
Some people are really just that too paranoid when it comes to fairness issue but im not really blaming them considering in todays lots of situation
where trust is always and issue.

That's funny that you bring up the pressing of buttons versus pulling the slot lever when playing slots machines as being considered a "strategy" for some gamblers.  I have been to in person casinos before and had friends who did the same exact thing.  I of course just laughed at them.  I don't think they necessarily thought that it would give them a better chance at winning, but it was more of a "good luck" type deal, where as you state...simply a psychological deal.

There are no patterns for the gamblers. Betting manually in Dice for a long time I have seen that. It's all a superstitious belief. But there will be patterns for the business itself. When they see you winning more or trying to increase the bet because you are feeling lucky, that's when they will take advantage of your weakness. The Greed!
They will try to take it all back and you won't even notice it yet until you found yourself cornered with low balance in your wallet. That's where gamblers will be more foolish and try to chase their losses. Another mistake that will lead to getting wrecked.

What you do is probably the best practice to follow. One shouldn't believe in patterns or superstitious activities when gambling, all you need is a small break and getting back to betting if you have already lost a lot of bets, that way, you will get to change your mood which basically plays a great role in gambling since you will have a control over your emotions.

Though a lot of people believe in these things, changing patterns or following specific ways for gambling, or believing things that are technically not correct is never useful or going to help them win anything more than they are destined to.

If that can make you feel great and comfortable on betting style you do then there's nothing wrong to believe on such thing especially if that could help him create his own strategy on the game. Can't also blame people to believe on something they think it really work since sometimes they learned that from people they are looking up to, that's why they also believe that strategy or belief might work for them. But we should remember that all is random on games which based on luck.

Gambling can be quite risky for people who don't understand the risks involved.

There are many types of gambling games in the world, but not all of them are fun to play and give us a good chance of winning. Therefore, it's important to stay realistic and focus on our goals. If our goal is just to enjoy, then we should be disciplined enough to only spend what we can afford to lose, and with that mindset, there's a slim chance that we will become addicted to gambling.

If our goal is to make money or consider gambling as a source of income, then we should gamble on games that don't have a house edge because that's the only way we can have long-term success in gambling.

They say that sports betting still has a house edge because in even bets, you'll only get 90% of your wager if you win. However, some sportsbooks offer high odds options where we can get +200 odds, which can overcome the house edge. If we consistently win on those types of odds, then it's possible to end up profitable in sports betting.

I know only a few people have succeeded in this type of gambling journey, but as long as it's possible to succeed, we should remain optimistic and try to be successful in the type of gambling that we love.

If there are patterns, that will only be in the Bingo and Keno game. You will need to hit the designated pattern to be able to win but this involves luck as you don't control the numbers that are being drawn. In business, that isn't what you call a pattern but it was a business plan however there is still a chance that a business can fail no matter how strict they follow their plan.

I guess it shows that luck really matters in everything, not only in gambling. Balance is shown when we play so it's almost impossible to not notice it going down. Gamblers just don't know how to stop once they are already losing because they think a few rolls will hit their target. Sometimes yes but most of the time not.

I'm not sure we're "conditioned" to look for patterns, as much as we're comforted by them as it suggests there is some sort of underlying order in the crazy world that we live in. However people are generally terrible at making sophisticated calculations and heavily misjudge what they perceive is a statistic that might work in their favor when it comes to betting. You suggest that the outcome is decided as soon as you press the button, but as far as the end user knows every single bet could have been planned out the moment they registered and is simply following a predefined sequence, designed to give the illusion and manipulate the players in the optimum way, if you choose to play the games.

Gambling casinos do not let us gamble to win, but for them to take advantage on our funds and make them profitable. So I don’t believe that they will provide patterns for us, instead everything is already controlled by  the gambling operators before we start gambling in their platforms. That’s how unfair gambling is. But we fail to see it at times we won, instead that creates more motivation for us that we can actually take advantage in gambling by creating some patterns. However, in the end, it’s always certain that casinos have still won back all our profits, because of the constant edge that they have over their players.

It's natural, because everyone has their own point of view. no exception, as you said that in gambling there is no such thing as a strategy. to be honest, I'd agree if what you're referring to falls into the category of purely luck-based gambling, as the OP posted in this thread. Obviously, I totally agree with him. but that doesn't mean when we play, we only rely on luck. at least, there is an effort that we do. although in some studies, that assumption is just a myth.

But I'm pretty sure, gamblers always try various techniques, methods or all sorts of things to get what we are looking for from the gambling session that we do. even if someone realizes, that what he is doing is just a myth. well, this really lives up to the title of this thread. Our psychology will always be carried away when we do a gambling session. by the way, not entirely what you say is true. because, in some other types of gambling requires expertise, knowledge, insight, and intellectual. some people call it strategy, some others method, some call it technique and one example, poker and football.

But even so, new people or beginners still want to try it and see that gambling can be fun. They see how other people play and think that makes gambling games fun.

With so many gambling games, we want to get a different experience, so that's also what makes us deposit more money. We want to feel the atmosphere when we win, so we keep gambling, even forgetting the time.

It's better to forget about our goal to make money from gambling. Many people have suffered great defeats to reach their goals and still can't achieve them.

Patterns
Strategies
Holy grail method
Techniques

All the same but sharing up on the same motive which is to milk out the house which we know that it cant really be that possible.They do build up business to make revenue and sip it out from its players
which it is really just that common for any business. They might be giving out those nasty and good looking promotions and bonuses but actually they are just really making it look nice but in overall
we are really that on disadvantage.

This is why it would really be needing that realistic approach when you do tend to gamble. Never ever make yourself get convinced that there's a way for you to have that advantage.
You cant really be able to succeed on what you would be planning if ever you would be trying to beat up the house.

Well first of all, welcome to the forum and welcome to my thread. Yes, the result that you are seeing is just a graphical representation of the outcome that has been determined a few milliseconds after you pressed the "bet" button.  ;D

You actually have to go to "Brick n mortar" casinos and then take time to observe people's reactions to appreciate this. You find that some people are rubbing the screen.... others press the side of the bet button and some have a whole ritual that they follow to make bets.

It is all in the mind..... and it has nothing to do with the mechanism of the way that the outcome are calculated.  ;D

I think you are using the wrong words here, it is not like they don't let you win, or there are gambling operators who are controlling everything. Casinos are a business, and like any other business, they need money to run the business, hence the business model is built in such a way that it favors the platform more than the gamblers.

You can call it unfair or whatever, but there is nothing that is hidden from you or anyone who gambles, the house never says that they don't have an edge over you, they even let you know the house edge percentage for each game.

I call it just the mindset of gamblers who do things like the ridiculousness of pressing the bet button before the reels stop or doing superstitious things and we can conclude that this is the psychology of the mind of people who gamble.
but in reality they still use this kind of habit just because they believe they will get big results when doing ridiculous things like that and I am one of those people who do such a habit.
but for some reason when doing those things it always gets good results even though it's just luck anyway.

and however the psychological habit cannot be stopped because it is like addiction to doing the action of rubbing the screen or even blowing the screen when entering the bonus round in the slot game. but indeed all of that only depends on the RTP and our luck.

Exactly, Casinos are built to be unfair and be profit-centric. Otherwise they'd never be able to run as efficiently and sustainably as they could. The notion that they Casino doesn't let you win is just stupid and at the same time a little ignorant too. Of course they won't you silly. Odds are there to make sure that they are being transparent, but it is in no way indicative that the casino is just going to allow you to win games if you want to. That's not how it works. If you want to win while gambling, be very good at predicting and play on Sportsbooks instead. There's no inside job, and your wins are dependent on the performance of your chosen team/athlete. That way you don't go out here thinking that the casino is exceptionally egging on you. It's egging on everyone who plays on it, it's just a matter of if you are offended by it or not. Which gamblers who play for entertainment aren't.

We can play as much as we want, as long as our own limits are respected, that is, we have a capital set up to lose, because it is what we have destined to play, that capital cannot be regretted if it is lost in the game , because it is known that it was destined for that, if we are clear about those things or those premises we can play with complete confidence and as we wish, but if the money is lost in its entirety, it must be respected in not Playing anymore,because if it is appealed to that Money is going to be taken that is destined for our daily expenses, be it for food, the market, for the family, it is what should never be done, basically it is to play responsibly.

Beginner gamblers have the idea that gambling can easily generate profits and is very fun to play because they haven't tasted the bitterness of losing and losing a certain amount of money in gambling so that any risks cannot really be understood.

True, and that's what we want, but unlike them, most novice gamblers prefer to gamble, not to gain experience, but to be able to multiply money easily and quickly.
Even though experience in gambling is needed so that gamblers can learn to avoid mistakes or defeats.

Yes, most gamblers lose everything they deposit just because they chase victory or aim to get a win. It's better to use the money as best you can in gambling and don't forget to think of gambling as a place of entertainment.

that casino link you posted is a casino scam, hope you are not the owner of the casino and in case you are not the owner of this casino then I suggest you stay away from this casino, you can see for yourself the bad reputation and accusation of scam against them, see here:

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/starwins.co.uk

as you can see they have a lot of scam accusations on trustpilot, which means they are a scam casino, now I don't understand why you leave good and reliable casinos and keep using a strange and new casino and scam, I can't understand, I see some people chasing sign-up bonuses, but nowadays in all casinos these sign-up bonuses have high requirements to be met so they are not even worth chasing the sign-up bonus, you could also look at the issue of link referrals, which because they are new casinos people rush to get more referrals, but what's the use of having a lot of referrals in a casino scam?

it makes no sense, that's why it's much better to be using already established casinos, that casino you posted a link to is a scam casino, so don't waste your time on it and don't waste your money on it, and see that the scam accusations against they've been around for some time, so I can't even imagine how the situation must have gotten worse at the moment, I don't even know how they're still working, maybe they're paying for advertising on some site and when they manage to steal a customer they recover the money spent on advertising, I imagine that's the only way that they are surviving

Our major reason of going into gambling is to make money and we don't need to make it looks like we are very desperate to make money as a gambler which is one of the thing that can make us lose more money in gambling if we are not careful enough. It is good for us to always take some research or better still, ask questions from people around us than to take a decision that would affect us later as a result of our impatience to dig more before we make any bet. The psychology of gambling would help us to know how we can program ourselves to be a better gambler.

Desperation would really be ending up on a disaster on which it would really be a common thing to happen not only just limited on gambling but also in other perspective in life when making out decisions and on the time
that you do reach up on a state where desperation kicks in because you do want to make or get some profits then this is where certain extent actions would really be done. This isnt something new or a very common
human behavior to be done and how much more if we do speak about gambling? Only a few would really be that mindful about their actions or really that seeking for the sake of entertainment and not for money.
Usually people who would really be dealing off with gambling are the ones who do really come after on making income or profits with it, without even trying to look on the reality that its way too risky on handling out on things. When gambling then you should really be that somewhat realistic on what you should gonna do, dont aim for money or profits because this is the main reason on why people do become that impulsive
and making out lots of errors and mistakes.

If you play as much as you want, you are not limiting your self already. Maybe there are people who are not really in to gambling and they think betting minimal amounts for 20 to 30 rolls in a casino game is already too much for them but most people are not like that. They always can't get enough when it comes to gambling.

These people needs to limit their selves before it interferes with their life. Other than that, it will be better if your wife hold your money for you. If you don't have a wife yet, then you must still have your parents, or other people that you trust the most because once we see our balances, the temptation can always kicks in.

Letting your wife or parents to hold your money aren't good option. Not all wife or parents will allow you to give money for your fun activity, so when you ask it to feel your satisfy, they will always say no and you will mad. Then you lost your trust and there's might an internal conflict, you choose to hold your money by yourself.

Asking someone to hold your money is a sign if you're have a bad money management and they should teach you instead of agree to hold your money.

But some people are bad money managers, and that is not to blame on them. If their wives or parents are willing to help, why not? It's wise to know when to ask for help. I remember that there was certain project for the economic development of India, but focused in women because men spent everything in vice.

With time, they should learn how to manage their money, but as the first leap it can be a good point to start, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Okay, folks, let's jump into the firestorm about gambling – entertainment or dangerous game? Picture this – gambling is like dancing the mambo with Lady Fortune. Sometimes you're lifted high, and other times, she steps on you like a loser. It's like a high-roller dance-off, but no guarantees you'll win!

The big question: Can we separate hope from reality? Can we walk away from the casino, shrugging it off like it's a casual night? Resisting a gold-encrusted apple – can we say no to the massive jackpot?

But careful! Don't think of gambling as a career. It's a mesmerizing tune that'll lead you astray if you forget the limits. Let's enjoy the show, but keep our wallets safe, people!

And this is the fact, no any gambling casino can restrict you from winining if yoy didi not do thatbto yourself at first, fine and good they were out for business and to make money but not on our own detriment, which means if you knows how to gamble and win, they can't stop you from getting your winnings and same is applicable vise versa when you pay them to gamble, they must provide you with the service you're paying them for, at the end, no one feels cheated or denied his right in gambling except you fall into the scam casino projects.

Just say it straight, gambling result is random and no one knows whether they will win or not.  Even sportsbetting which is considered as skill-based game is still affected by randomness reason why we see underdogs winning an upset.


Obviously if your mind is sound, you can always separate hope and reality simply by considering factors that make hope and reality differ from each other.  Those gamblers who play with the money they can afford to lose can always shrug off their losses because they are not affected at most.


Everyone wanted a huge winnings but a sane people will always reject huge winnings if it will require his life in return.



I second this  :D.

the reason why a lot are getting trouble with gambling is that they lose their grip because of that hope. hence, many gamblers are going astray. they may have set their limits at early stages of their gambling activities but once they suffer losses, that's when the drive of recovering such loss is getting bolder. well, that's the normal reaction of any gambler esp if he is not firm with his decisions. this is why we are hearing stories of desperate moves from the gamblers. so if you know you are on the brink of such situation, better pull off while you are still thinking straight.

I think the average gambler or man has bad financial management, I experienced that being a wasteful person and could never manage my finances. I once a few years ago my savings ran out due to gambling, but now my wife is assisting me to manage my finances because I entrusted her with it, so I can be more organized now to gamble even with small bets.

I think there's nothing wrong with entrusting someone or one of our families, be it our wife or mother, to manage finances so that they don't run out easily because of gambling or waste in financial management. I admit honestly that indeed I have bad financial management  :D

Only a person who is responsible regarding everything in their life can have such discipline in gambling, it is because they are already in practice of keeping things disciplined especially when it comes to spending money. If you are a family person, you can easily manage such things since you know you have other responsibilities as well.

For someone who is not generally responsible in their life, has no responsibilities or things to handle, and has access to money, it becomes very difficult for them to have a dedicated budget for gambling and keep it disciplined.

Well that's true as most people with good financial management skills don't tend to gamble. They see it as unnecessary risk, and reward ratio is too low. But i personally know some people with good financial management skills that just love gambling so much that they want to take the risk. They are just good at keeping seperate balances for it so that they won't be blowing their budget. Not every gambler gets so addicted that they want to compromise their budget. Those are just the addicts you hear about. Lots of people with addiction that are battling against it every day can manage their addiction. And i am not at all downplaying others problem with gambling. I am just saying that it's definitely not for everyone.

I think not all, not all people who wants to gamble has the reason for it to gain more. Some of those people who knows how to manage their money also gamble because they just want to have fun, most of the people I know prefer traditional ones because they want to see their amigos and amigas in gambling. We can't deny the fact that those people who fall into addiction are the ones who doesn't have a lot of money or those who believe that gamble will be their only want to get rich.

There are people who cant really stood still with their decisions in life, doesnt matter if this one pertains with gambling or not which its never been that a good behavior or quality just like this on which you cant really be able to follow on what you are really that tending to do so with your current dealings or engagement.How much more with gambling? It would really be that significant that you should really be that sensible when it comes to this manner considering we are talking some potential losses on here on which if you arent that good on making out some good or wise decisions then you would definitely be having some huge problems afterwards. Just like on what most people been saying on here is that gambling is for fun, bet only on the amount which you can afford to lose and on the amount which you can afford to take and dont make
yourself find that you are in a situation on which you are really that chasing up your losses.

Its not an investment, its not a source of income, its not a guaranteed profits or money making. This is where usually people do fall into this kind of stuff just because they do really have that kind of wrong belief
and once they would really be pushing it, then reality kicks in.Then this is where people do mess out their entire lives just because they had go into the wrong decision.

People who can manage finances well, so they won't be addicted, of course, will know the risks to take, but they are ready, they will only try the game for the pleasure they want, not to get more that they don't want, I believe not everyone will play Gambling is the same, of course there is a better reason than that, so they can take stricter measures not to spend more money on gambling on the other hand, we have to be like that so that it doesn't become a problem that can be caused.

Someone who is addicted, of course, will think higher that they dream of getting rich quickly from gambling, but the fact is indeed different, we know that gambling will not be as smooth as what they think, but someone who is passionate about gambling for the sake of pleasure, he will not think about getting rich quickly from gambling. .

You are absolutely correct, it is pretty difficult to find really wealthy men who are so glued or addicted to gambling, if there be any, then there is also the possibility that such person has been addicted to gambling before getting rich through it or other means.

I have a guy in my neighborhood who was and still is really into sports betting, wouldn't call him addicted yet but a day does not pass without him putting up some bets, he got really rich from his investment in crypto currency back in 2020, and till now, many still think and believe he made his money from gambling, and see no reason to advice him to stop or reduce the rate at which he throws money at sports betting.

Yes , I completely agree with what you say, it may be that many do not control their way of gambling and that may leave them without money at a certain time , that is why I say if I have , let's say, 30usd willing to lose playing, I do it and I play with all the freedom possible, but without exceeding those 30usd, for me that is having responsibility, and it is as you say, when you have a wife, children, and you want to play in a casino , you should have even more responsibility, because you don't there is an excuse if someone spends the money that is earmarked for the expense of basic things or basic needs for them.

Man, I'll tell you, entrusting your money with your wife is not wrong and never was. What's wrong is, when you're not sharing your money with your wife. I mean you two have conjugal property, what you earned is also her property. Women who don't have day jobs and a full time mom usually has a very good financial management. So these wives are most probably going to help you control your unwanted spendings in gambling. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, if you're married I don't think entrusting your money to your parents is necessary. Not sure about your culture, but in my country that's definitely a big insult to your wife, except for a wife who has bad financial management, usually these are the kind of wives who would also like to gamble.

If you have set 30 usdt to gamble and then lose and deposit some more money then it is a mistake not your responsibility because you cannot be sure that the money you have deposited can generate a certain amount of money because in gambling what will definitely come is defeat.
A family member can still gamble if he can control his finances so that what should be for the family is not lost in gambling.
A gambler must always have a sense of responsibility in making every decision so that what he does still has limits and is not too careless because gambling can spend any amount of money in just a short time.

when you are talking about gambling , it is stupid to believe that someone is completely playing just to have fun and not to at least win , because the reality here is that of course some of us wanted to have fun when playing but one part of their mind and heart are aiming to win though they will accept the losses
in which means there are not 100% of fun and enjoying but of course some part are to win.
but what you said is also correct that some of them wanted to play with their buddies but remember that all the money the come to gamble are the amount to risk , while one will win then meaning others must lose.
yes they all have fun but not all are successful in their plans .
so yes they play to have fun but they also play to win.

I will share somewhat of what I call my personal experience when we are playing for fun and we are playing to win something.I will take an example of signature earnings which an average of 80-100 dollars weekly and when I want to win something I start playing with full balance and hoping to win it big by playing longer,this has more risks than benefits though as it can suck you in until you lose it all.

When I play for fun I immediately withdraw like 80% of the amount and I keep playing with only 20% of funds and whatever happens happens I will not be sad,this is what I call to play for fun which usually involves playing little money compared to when you play to win it big you need a much bigger balance for that and that is the difference between the two.

And even more wrong if he did not entrust his money to his wife but instead used it for gambling. It was a fatal mistake and he should immediately change his habit or stop gambling. If he can entrust his money to his wife, he will find that she will try to use the money from him to support the needs of the family and she may also prefer to save the remaining money so they have money for urgent needs. Usually, women are more adept at managing family finances so that the money we give will be enough to meet our family's needs. So if you are married, it is better to entrust money to your wife and spend less time gambling because family is everything to you.

I guess this is a case to case basis. It's not really about gender roles. This is all about discipline.

If you are responsible and disciplined enough, then there's no need for someone else to manage and budget your money for you because you can do it yourself. If you know how to prioritize your needs and wants in a proper manner, you will have lesser troubles. Comparing to those who lack self-control and lack of financial literacy, you'll be in the advantage side because you know how to limit yourself - when to stop and continue gambling. With this, the outcome will be so much better too. You won't need to be bothered by excessive gambling habits because you have a healthy habit to begin with. In line with this, you won't get addicted and you won't spend too much money and too much time gambling that could compromise your well-being and the time you spend with your family.

Whether you are a husband or a wife, always remember to be disciplined and responsible especially when it comes to money matters.

Having a limited bankroll in your casino account can surely help you stay in your limits when gambling especially if you are losing, but the actual thing is to be able to control yourself from the inside and don't follow the urge when it knocks on the door of your mind, because if you can't do that, as soon as you exhaust the money in your gambling account, your hands will reach out to your crypto wallet to deposit more to continue gambling.

The real success in being a responsible gambler is to control the urge and don't let it make you gamble more when you have already lost the bankroll that you had set for your gambling activities, it's difficult, of course, but it is doable, especially if you have a family that you care about.

Plus we do really have that own will which we are already that matured or old enough on how to differentiate in between the good and the bad and its really impossible that we cant really be able to see on

what are the imposed risked that we could really be able to experience on the time that we do make out bad decisions.Its really impossible that we cant really asses on potential effects and outcome
if ever we would really be tolerating too much about its risks and dont really minding it and would really still proceed despite of the fact.On the time that you would really be putting yourself on
such condition then this is where self realizations do happen and this is where regret would kicked in. This is why if you dont really like to experience
such  thing then it would be better that you should really be careful on choosing up situations specially if its really that money spending thing because problems caused by this is something not that simple
to solve out.

That's a good strategy for gambling for fun, you don't let the entire amount of what you've started with to lose all. When someone forgets to gamble for fun, that's the common thing that happens and that is to lose entirely the money that we've started as a bankroll.

The difference in playing with big money is that you'll be able to stay longer if you wishes so. But when you're too emotional and even if you just stayed in the casino for a few minutes and you've been triggered, you might still lose them all if you're careless.

It's actually fun when you play with ease and you're having some odd, ill-fated inconveniencs to feel bad about...
Most things really works out when your mind is free and stable -then I think at that point, you'll be able to think we'll and take up the right options to wager with. It's also good to control your habits as that is really a red flag when it goes above the bands... Thirdly, when much funds is seen in personal gaming accounts, it motivates and gives the feeling that staking more time would make it cut.

I don't think it's a gender issue. But when you are married, you share everything with your wife or partner. There are no secrets (although there are some things that the wife/husband doesn't need to know) but it's best for financial matters we can leave it to the wife. But maybe it could be different because there will be further communication to manage our household when we get married.

It takes responsibility and discipline, but usually, the wife will be better able to manage financial matters than the husband because I have seen it in many married people. And if you feel it is each person's responsibility and discipline, that's also okay ;D

And with regards to gambling, I think a husband may have a certain budget to play gambling but it must be remembered that the gambling budget may not use money used for daily needs. You can freely gamble with the budget you have so they don't interfere with each other.

Yes, even for gambling it looks like we need management so that it can be controlled, besides if you don't manage it is rather difficult to avoid losing a lot of money at gambling, I don't care about managing finances because I also often play gambling, but thanks to giving trust to those closest to me to manage it all be fine.

I am not a gambler who is too serious so it is impossible for me to become an addict, sometimes gambling just fills my free time, I don't make gambling a source of income either, give trust to the people closest to us if we can't manage finances so I don't lose a lot of money.

It's a great approach to gambling.

I had times when I tried to beat the casino and sometimes it worked, but eventually I came to the understanding that gambling is only for fun, the only thing you need to control is the financial expenditure. Neither chasing after winnings, nor trying to win back past losses do not lead to a good thing, and the game for $50-100 a week is a great opportunity to unload yourself from constant stress and hard work.

If I give 30usd as an example , it is to give an idea of what is coming and how a balance can be managed within the casino , I think that the person who enters 30usd in a casino has to know that those 30usd are totally willing to lose them, but they are in the player to see how he manages that money , if he wants to make some bets with 1 or 2 usd , or if he bets more , that is already a matter of seeing how it is done or how he Wants to bet If the player takes those 30usd to 45 or more usd , it is already a profit , one should not think that in a short time he will take those 30usd to 300 , 3000 usd , I consider that this Requires a lot of time and Patience.

I don't. It is one thing if the slot or roulette wheel is rigged, but if it is not, which is what will happen if you play on a trusted site, there are no patterns. Each spin is completely random and the patterns are more like mental constructs that people make by drawing lines over the past but which are not useful for predicting the future, and if they ever match the prediction according to their pattern with the actual outcome, it is by coincidence. The results are based on pure randomness.

Gambling is completely out of the question for me; I would never put myself in a position where I would set aside a certain amount of money to gamble, then lose it all and try again the next day, making more significant money, of course I would be upset with myself, because no money becomes pointless money; we make good use of it to solve our pending problems. Gambling without control means you're losing money and should exercise prudence before doing something delusional. I never underestimated my circumstance at the gambling stage and dealt with it on time inother to avoid addiction.

In a casino the balance cannot be managed properly because many unexpected things can happen so that to be able to make better financial decisions will be very difficult to do.
For example, if there is a very large chance of winning plus Odds that can be owned properly, even then a gambler's stance will falter and be tempted to take bets with larger amounts so that to be able to minimize financial management will fail.
You should be able to understand this kind of thing because a gambler's emotional level is always high and cannot be controlled easily when there is an opportunity in sight.

It's difficult, for example, to play gambling without chasing victory. Or just having fun. However, when we play what we are after is victory and the pinnacle of fun while playing is winning. And what keeps a person in gambling is the wins they get.

Controlling emotions while playing is the key not to experience big losses in the game. When you experience defeat, it is a sign for you to immediately stop playing. And when you get a win, it's a sign for you to finish the game right away, don't let the wins you get run out to play again at the same time.

So many gamblers believe in the psychological aspect of gambling that we must have sensed it before betting that we are going to win whenever we are about to gamble, it somehow occur to us unconsciously that we perceived this feelings, it's what we have the indications for right from the beginning that we are going to have a better experience with what we are about to do after seeing all the information needed were already made available and that we are optimistic to gamble and see ourselves winning already even before the match begins.

Not only are people trying to construct patterns based on past events, but they would very often neglect the house's edge mathematically. When they calculate the odds they often think that Roulette also having a neutral 0 when they bet on red and black could be neglected because it is statistically insignificant. But it isn't. As you said that are mental constructs and even tiny percentage numbers accumulate to very significant variables when they play repeatedly for a very long time. As a bottom line everyone should understand that gambling is a losing activity and suited for short-term amusement.

Gambling is just for fun and not to make money. And if anyone wants to earn or make money from gambling, they should think again because it won't be easy and they could lose a lot of money. And it depends on their goals in playing gambling because if they just want to have fun, they don't think about chasing the win.

Many people think they can recover their losses, but instead of quitting, they try to play a few rounds to see how good their luck is. But what is there is that they have experienced perhaps more losses than before.

And only having self-control can prevent you from losing a lot. But unfortunately, only a few gamblers can really control themselves while gambling so they can stop on time.

Well, if everyone had a mindset of that kind, I bet there wouldn't be any gambling addicts, but unfortunately, that's not the case. I wouldn't call responsible gamblers bad because if they can afford to do it and have some fun, there is nothing wrong with that. We all spend money on ourselves and on what gives us joy in our lives, so I don't see anything bad in spending a small sum on gambling if you enjoy it and if it doesn't make you gamble more.

But those who spend a lot of money on gambling and have absolutely no limit on how much they spend every week or every month are obviously doing it the wrong way. One shouldn't spend a lot of money on gambling only with the hope that they will make more than it because that barely happens.

The idea of ​​gambling just for fun is the most ideal method, so that we avoid potential addiction. But even that is conditional, must be balanced with self-control and responsibility. maybe, for you, we, us, this idea is very familiar. but for most beginners, this kind of idea would not have occurred to them.

This notion too, does not necessarily mean that we cannot make a profit from gambling. there are many methods to make money gambling, even if the concept is just for fun. because, our goal in gambling is none other than risking our money and at the same time bringing in income if luck is on our side. but unfortunately, the concept of the idea of ​​having fun is mostly allegorical. because in practice, it's not uncommon for us to get carried away when doing gambling sessions. or even, it could be that emotions control us more. not infrequently, we are carried away by an atmosphere that ends in successive defeats. So how wise would it be if the idea of ​​simply having fun in gambling was balanced, with both self-control and responsibility. that way, at least we have more limits when conducting gambling sessions.

To reach that level of understanding is ideal , but I know that many players when they get there it is because they have gone through very hard things in the casinos , many experiences , and very bad streaks to learn, obviously that sometimes takes a lot. money that is lost, just as there are very few people who take the advice of those who have passed through there and comply , I think that everything is to assimilate the teaching of others well , what you say is very real , sometimes a gambler sol wants to win and win , he forgets to have fun and what he wins is that he loses a lot more and then doesn't want to go into a casino Because he lost a lot.

Your view of gambling as chilled-out leisure paints an alluring picture but not without risks. Things get messy when the initial excitement of risk-taking turns into a fixation. Saying that only a few gamblers can stay in control is a big understatement. Many studies reveal that most people can't recognize when they've shifted from a good time to an addiction. Their brains link the thrill of the gamble with happiness, complicating quitting. Though gambling for fun with self-restraint seems feasible, it overlooks the potential destruction of addiction. It's essential to highlight that for many, gambling isn't a simple toss-up between enjoyment and gain. It's a psychological trap causing deep financial and emotional issues.

That is a nice explanation out there,the human brain cannot make a distinction between a good time and when we overdo it because most of the time while we are gambling our brain emit dopamine the hormone which makes us feel good and in a happy mood,this is dangerous as only when we lose all the money we realize that we were not that happy after all.

I think though a big step in getting away from becoming addicted is to withdraw money we need for something else and only to leave money that we can afford to lose to the casino site,even if we lose that money we will not be that sad and this works for me most of the times.

I guess it still depends on the person's gambling habit. If a person is disciplined enough, then there should be little to none to be worried about regarding financial and emotional matters because in the first place, you'll just bet and play with limitation and moderation. Gambling isn't entirely bad. As a matter of fact, some have gambling as their way to detoxify from their problems. It just becomes bad the moment you do it excessively and irresponsibly. Sure, gambling is exciting, thrilling, and fun, but you also have to set boundaries for yourself in order to gain good things and not the bad consequences.

The psychology of a person (a gambler) is indeed one of the factors that will greatly influence gambling, it is difficult for someone who has experienced addiction to be able to control himself because indeed the hope for a win is always an image in his mind. Compulsive and out of control are the strongest causes of gamblers experiencing addiction and this addiction comes from two separate reward pathways in the brain that can affect a person's behavior, namely liking and wanting. It's hard to hold someone who has experienced addiction to gambling to rest or stop because it's like you said that they like the exciting sensation of betting. Even though they have lost a lot of valuable things they have, there is still hope for a victory and then they will return to do it with high confidence.

Applying high discipline in life is one way to make life not messy, not to mention in the realm of gambling, it is an important factor that must be mastered. Discipline includes everything related to situations where a person can get out of control which will later bring losses in his life. Certainly in terms of gambling it will be very close to the finances of a gambler.

But applying high discipline is not as easy as doing it, because in theory maybe it will be very easy to understand, but in real action only some people can do it.

That is a good description, but there are also no definitions and you either realize when it is too late or you allow someone else to tell you. But in most cases people don't share their activity the same as they don't share when drink alcohol secretly. The difference is that it is easier for someone around you to se whether you have an alcohol problem in contract to when you have a gambling problem. it is the same for any addiction and there are no general thresholds or rules. Someone might get along quite well with wasting an entire weekend on gambling, not losing existential money and still feel ok whereas for someone else it is already an existential threat to neglect social relationships.

To be able to discipline ourselves is not easy because the temptations that come from gambling will be greater, and gamblers often lose control over themselves. They want to win more or think that they can get certain promos that can give them a win. But the reality is not like that.

They should be able to view gambling as entertainment and not play aggressively so they don't lose a lot of money. Being a responsible gambler is a must because otherwise, we can become gamblers addicted to gambling. And while there is still an opportunity to change our gambling habits, we should use it before we completely lose control and eventually become addicted.

Very well said, that's how human psychology is, we start doing something only to have some fun for only a small period of time, but as time goes on, we start increasing that time instead of leaving that thing, and when we keep going and increasing the time or the resources we spend in case of gambling it is money, we don't really realize what we are getting ourselves into until a time comes where we have already reached so far that it is almost impossible for us to return.

The same thing happens when we start gambling, we don't want to get addicted or gamble for addiction, and most of us might just gamble for fun initially, but as we get deeper into it, we start increasing our stakes, the money that we spend later will be way higher than what we have started with, and slowly, we get addicted to gambling.

Filling their boring free time with gambling, they do this only for a short time but most of them forget the way back because they have had fun and they want this thing to last longer. Something fun will turn into a hobby for happiness. They had started it and they loved it, there was not the slightest bit of boredom because they had placed too many hopes for a victory so it was difficult for them to find their way back.

Someone who has started gambling even though it is on a trial basis means that he has agreed with himself that he will not mind if one day the feeling of addiction comes over him. The self-control factor will not have much effect when someone is already addicted. The finances in his life will definitely fall apart and if someone is in this position, they will never feel a calm psychology.

You've hit the nail on the head with your insights into human psychology and gambling. Sometimes we indeed start something just for a bit of fun or to fill our free time, but it can quickly escalate without us even realizing it. Before we know it, we've crossed a point of no return.
Gambling can become a slippery slope. What begins as a short-term amusement can easily turn into a long-lasting hobby, driven by the hope of a big win. It's easy to lose track of time and get lost in the excitement. And once addiction creeps in, it becomes incredibly challenging to regain control.
By the way, I came across an article that sheds light on why wagering requirements aren't all that bad. It's an interesting read, so check it out at https://pantheonuk.org/the-bane-of-players-existence-3-reasons-why-wagering-requirements-arent-all-that-bad/ (https://pantheonuk.org/the-bane-of-players-existence-3-reasons-why-wagering-requirements-arent-all-that-bad/).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, SirLancelot. It's crucial to raise awareness and have open discussions about the psychology of gambling.

I think that most of us if not all of us start gambling not to have some fun but because we see other people having hit it big and nowadays with youtube and other streaming service this is easy to see,just a gambling add and someone may go and see how one guy won that huge win.He then goes and register in that casino trying to repeat the success that he saw in the video and then most likely most of us are in the point of no return which is right,but the beginning is because everybody is wanting to have something more financially speaking.

That's true, gambling is something that we only kow the beginning and yet the end results becomes a mystery to us as it remains unpredictable, gambling is better not to have started it than if started and we are  trying to stop it, there's a conscious and unconscious psychology in gambling where we try to always finds a means to bet even when we are not in the best position for that, we don't have the consciousness of doing this psychologically until we begin to see it consequences manifesting because it comes to our attention how far we've gone in betting while gambling.

Addiction or addiction from gambling is one of the risks someone starts to gamble and no one can avoid gambling if they are still in the scope of gambling.
But gambling addiction is not too dangerous if we can have financial self-control and also always be responsible for all actions taken in gambling.

Excessive curiosity always arises in the mind of a gambler and the thing that can limit curiosity is being able to accept every defeat and also stop when the time comes and come back after some time so that the emotions that arise don't control themselves.

It all depends on the mindset if the mindset is gambling to get money and thinking about losing money, of course it will be difficult to return, but if the mindset is just to have fun there is no problem and of course don't think about going back, after all you can't play back time when you have entered play gambling then go ahead as long as it's just for fun.

Have fun as a basic mindset so you don't regret too much every defeat you get so you can control the game so it's not too serious and too deep to chase losses that can't possibly be recovered, everything must be enjoyed as long as we enjoy the game and make us happy in our free time . no problem.

As long as you can control yourself in doing it, you won't use it for too long because you remember there is still something you need to do besides that. But the tendency is that if someone gets too comfortable with something, he might stop longer than before. And curiosity will make him continue to get something that can satisfy him. But once he's got something and quits, he'll return another day and try to get more. That happens a lot so it makes many people slowly turn into gambling addiction.

Sometimes the bets make us dream and hope to continue playing to win, there are many who say that sometimes when we are going to retire from a game it is when more opportunities are the ones that sometimes influence our Psychology, and it always remains in the Player's mind, what would have happened if I had done this or that? and these are sometimes the questions that make you play on pure impulse, and that's when you lose the most, Maybe it works for some to play like this, but I think that everything that is done with impulse is not always done under a scheme of irresponsibility, because the consequences are not measured.

Usually when we play we have a very high self-esteem, this is Natural to feel like winners , I think we have all felt it , but you have to have self-control so as not to Exceed that luck.

....If you do have lots of what if's in your mind
.... If you do have those kind of different impulsive emotions and thoughts
.... If you do assume that you could be neither winner or loser on that day

Then most likely you would really be making different variations when it comes to decisions that you would be making on a particular session because know that not all the days we are really that in right mood
and thinking on which there are really indeed times which we do have those kind of decisions and sticking on what we do like or interested into.
Important thing on here is that gambling should really be for fun, spend in moderation so that you wouldnt really be able to create problems in the future.

I believe this is all about faith!

We gamblers need to believe that there is some meaning to gambling, something that needs to be done to improve profits or simply cut losses. We need to believe that it is possible to "master" games or understand how they work.

The same thing I see happening in lottery betting... there are several techniques to try to predict the numbers that will be drawn based on the last results obtained, however the mathematical reality is that the probabilities are exactly the same regardless of what happened in previous games .

We need to believe that there is a pattern to betting, and that's what makes things more interesting.

and after that someone who is addicted will have a hard time getting out of his addiction and needs serious help to be able to get rid of his addiction, right?
in this case there is always a thought of dependence or addiction in the sense that someone who continues to go to gambling with the thought of producing or pursuing something that makes himself always present at gambling will definitely be psychologically disturbed as you say. so that someone who is comfortable in gambling with something fixated on their mind will definitely find it difficult to leave gambling and even though they can stop but in the future it will come because that mindset will always be in their mind unless they have help to have a healthy lifestyle without betting addiction.

Your insights on the uphill battle against addiction indeed hit the mark. Appreciate that addiction, a formidable brain disease, alters mind functioning, not just a simple failure of will. Quitting a habit, like gambling, isn't merely about deciding to stop.

Consider the "gambler's fallacy," a cognitive distortion amongst gamblers believing past events influence future outcomes. This delusion fuels the gambling cycle, despite recurring losses.

Treatment for such addiction needs a comprehensive approach - addressing distorted thinking, fostering lifestyle alterations, beyond simply stopping gambling.

I think the reason why dice game is very popular is that some gamblers find patterns in them. Call it faith but it's just what it is, people look for some pattern and there are strategies created for it like that martingale which at some point gamblers believe they will win in the end.

Just like in the lottery, some gamblers are also saying their number will come up soon because it's DUE to come and they have a lucky charm on their side while they bet. Its happening. Maybe in your younger days, you also believe it.
