I'm always betting significant amount when I'm in the losing streak, Let's say only 30% left from my original bankroll after playing 1hr to 4hrs of non-stop Blackjack.

I always bet all-in which is my remaining bankroll that is significant amount for me on a 25% win chance rate bet on dice game. My heart palpitates during this bet and I really love the intense feeling. Most of the time I lose on this but it's really worth it if I win since I recover my original bankroll plus sweet profit of 20% of my bankroll.

I'm always doing this whenever I'm down after long gambling session just to finish with a big bang of surprise. When I lose at least I experience the thrill same with win since I have profit.

Are you doing this intense gambling experience by betting significant amount of your bankroll? This is insane but worth it if you are a thrill seeker for entertainment.

If you are of this type, why do you not try and be going for martingale instead, rather than the money should remain 30% before you want to bet all the remaining amount at once.

But you should know that the strategy is very risky. You can start with $0.5 and increase it in a way if you win the next round, you will recover your initial losses and make some profit.

But if you are the type that prefer to spend long hours in betting, the strategy may not be for you.

If you seek out to satisfy your thrills, it's always satisfying to go all in the remaining bankroll in one bet max out. The win will be satisfying especially when it's the last one after the losing streak when you apply the martingale. Yep, I have done this and sometimes regret comes after losing it all.

I couldn't remember how many times I tried this but it always lost it all. Sometimes I win but the next few hours, the house takes it all back.

Definitely, I guess it's just the quest for gamblers to get the thrill from time to time. Of course, it might not be good for us in the end specially losing this big money bet. Or if you really wanted to chase some losses and so you increase your bet with that significant amount that you might not used to it or haven't done it before.

And so everything is based on what card you gonna get, or where the ball and what number it's gonna land if you are playing roulette, or if you will get 21 in black. So it's going to be intense and those adrenaline are going to pump in your body that you will not recall what time it is.  ;D. Last night I have this kind of runs, like playing 6 hours straight in a land based casinos.

I'm interested what you usually do if that "last bet" turns up to be a winning one. You would obviously stop if you lose but what if otherwise? I've seen people do the same strategy in different games but they decide to keep going when they get lucky on that final bet unless they really have something else to do or when their wife is already mad hehe.

I've done that too!
After you're already "tired" of playing, and with your balance almost exhausted, it's more fun to make an all-in bet than to just make ridiculously small bets and only prolong the pain of losing and having your account gradually become zero.
Betting everything you have left will result in two outcomes:
- Stop playing in style, knowing that everything was really lost, and after that being "free" to do something else without any worries in mind;
- Earn good money and "reestablish faith" in the game, having new enthusiasm to continue playing a little longer without the need to place small bets.

However, lately, when my balance is small, I like to spend the rest I have from sports betting on slot-machine's style that are much more fun even with small bets.

I don't do this, but I just became consistent with the amount and betting on the same team or place and not stopping or transferring to others even consecutive losses.
What I am being intense and increasing the bet is when I am about to stop, let's say I decided that this is my last 5 bets or last 5 games, and that's the time I increase my bets.

I am not doing this anymore. Yes, I do love the thrill too back when I was still starting but now I am playing safer than going all in with the remaining balance. When I am down to that percentage that you mentioned I try to prolong the playing experience and just also try to maximize the wager amount as best as I could. That way, when the weekly bonus comes I will have enough to wager again.
Also, I am too scared now to make a big bet when it comes to casino games but when it is about sports, I will definitely go for it especially if the game I am betting for is where I am comfortable with. Analysis could enhance the winning chance and I will take that rather than put the risk against the house.

I used to do it, but now i've stopped because betting a significant portion of my bankroll only gave me nothing but bad memories. Doing this type of bet always ends my session very early, and i'd rather play with the same bet size until the end because you never know if you could get a winning streak and steadily recover your losses.

It also becomes a learning experience because I view these aggressive plays as mistakes. I remember having a similar phase that lasted for quite a while back then, and it only led me to several losses.

Perhaps I would speculate that almost all gamblers here, have experience this kind of thrill seeking in gambling at one point in their gambling activity. Specially for those who have been addicted before.

And yes, when we go all-in, we can only pray to gambling Gods that we are going to win to recover what we lost and then some. But this thrill will only last that long though, because we all know that sooner or later the house edge will caught up on us, that will lead for another big lost and it's going hard to recover again as we ran out of luck.

It's funny how we're having this similar approach in gambling. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody, however. This isn't the right way to do it. I'd rather advise others to stick to reasonable betting.

I don't know with you, but I often do this with a bit of frustration. Whenever I'm on a losing streak, I have the tendency to go rough, to gamble in its most literal sense. I'm looking for gambling; this is it! It's like challenging the unfortunate gambling session: make me broke or give me back all of my money!

I don't know if you also share this, but whenever I spend hours gambling and the session is about to end and I'm still breakeven, it makes me a bit annoyed. It seems like I'd rather close the session with a loss than being breakeven. It's as if all those hours are nothing if my money is the same as when I started the session. It's like I haven't gambled at all.

I have done something like this in the game of roulette because this game is one of my favorites and I also often sometimes use the results from my campaign to bet on roulette and after losing several times I get I stop for a moment to catch my breath to spend a few rounds after that I bet all in for a certain number that I thought was my luck Indeed, sometimes if it is exactly what we expect, the sensation very pleasant. When you bet seriously with a small amount, you always lose and when you bet all in, its like luck came today.

sometimes this all bet makes the sensation more tense and will make you happy if you win, but if someone does not have a strong mentality, this method can make someone anxious, frustrated and regretful, wanting to chase the loss and well, dont do this if you're not using a budget you can afford to lose. whoever it is

You would really feel the essence of gambling once you experience it with your heart. It's a sign that you are risking a decent amount of money, where you will be so happy if you win and so sad when you lose. As much as possible, I try to control my emotions, as not all the time I win. What if I lose most of the time? It makes me upset and might affect my future endeavors in life.

Maybe gamble with just a small amount of money, just to feel the thrill. But if you decide to go full-time or take gambling seriously, at least learn how to control your emotions, as they are not what's necessary to win; it should be the mind.

I've done this and it used to be enjoyable when we were able to recover all the losses. Same goes into vain, if the outcome isn't favour of us. Yesterday I did this, and won significant amount. However whether we end up with profit/loss depends on our control. With BTC0.004 of my last two week payment started the wager on Dice. With 3.5X started with small amount, unlike the win/loss kept doubling the bet value. At some point my wallet balance turned BTC0.0055 and I lost control placing bets doubling the bet value. The bet lost and the wallet got emptied. Myself had the palpitation, and I don't find it to be enjoyable as I've lost what I've earned as well as won.

This kind of action often occurs when gamblers experience defeat and they risk the entire amount of money in a last resort with the full hope of winning the bet and getting back the money they have lost.
I would not be surprised if incidents like this happen a lot and most gamblers are even willing to use all the remaining money they have to bet on a place that they really believe can provide profits.
Who knows what the results will be like and forgetting all the risks the most important thing is confidence in the decision.

I once did the same thing when I managed to get a number of wins but decided to continue playing but in the end I had a losing streak and in the end the remaining money was bet on the 1 best option to be the last hope of winning.

It is indeed an extremely risky move and sure it will race your heart. It would certainly give you a high-intensity adrenaline kick if you win. The chance of which is 75% lesser if you think it in the other way. At the moment you are running for the 25% chance and if you are happy with it then you can continue. This is an unsustainable approach over time and you need to keep track of your bankroll.  

The correct way would be to stop after a certain loss limit as your method won't help you to recover your losses. In my opinion, this is a risky approach over time, it may result in financial loss and therefore you need to keep track of your bankroll.  

Now or never, it seems to be on the minds of many gamblers who are experiencing a lot of losses and have only a little money left, so they feel it is important to take quite drastic steps that will affect the game, making it last longer or finish right away.
I think I've done it but not often enough, I only do it when I'm quite sure of winning even though the results could be different, or when I feel bored and want to end the game because I only have a few dollars left or I've also done it because I'm chasing promotions and time there is very little left, so raise the bet more than I can in order to reach the specified wager limit to get the bonus.

I have learned the hard way that every time I raise my bet my funds are gone in an instant.It is not at all entertaining when this happens,yesterday I kept playing Rabbit Garden slot with minimum bet,kept buying the bonus and never did I raise the bet,I won about 40 dollars in total or 600.000 IDR as I play with that currency in order to have longer sessions which for me these are entertaining and I don't get mad even when I lose it all because I have played long enough to satisfy my gaming needs.

So I don't recommend this increase of bet to anyone as one time you may hit but other 99 times you will miss it.

bets "all in" like this are always very very risky and risk to complete waist any approach to money management.
money management is the only tool over which we have real control and this is precisely a fundamental aspect to avoid "dangerous" gambling. You have hit a loss? Take a pause or change game. Going all in is never a valid solution.

That kind of feeling could be dangerous if you are gambling most of the time. I mean, we don't want to be completely attached to gambling, especially if we aren't making a living from it. I've felt that kind of thrill before, especially when betting a significant amount of money—something that, although I can afford, would significantly affect my budget. You know, when the income isn't that much, we don't allocate too much to gambling. But as gamblers that we are, sometimes we want to go big, just like the famous saying, 'go big or go home.

"All in" makes for an exciting finale, but if you manage to win that last round, the game continues for a few more rounds. I believe most of us have gone "all in" in some of our games.

And the crucial thing to remember when deciding to go "all in" is that it shouldn't be your entire stash of money. It's your gambling budget. We must remain alive and working tomorrow, even if we lose tonight's game.

Never risk your entire life on gambling. Stay wise, even if you're someone who enjoys taking chances.

I often do this when I have a little money left with the aim of covering the amount of money I have lost.
I often play normal games with big bets. Playing on small bets takes too long and it takes a long time for the balance to increase. The habit of playing at large bets does have two options that will occur. Spend money quickly and add money quickly.
If you don't play regularly and consistently at big bets, it could be surprising if you win.

When I gamble, I set a certain budget for gambling and spend according to this budget. For me, gambling is a very risky but also fun way of entertainment to make money. For this reason, I definitely never use all my money to gamble. In addition, I take care to never use up my entire balance within the budget I have set for gambling. This may be due to the fact that I aim to gamble for fun rather than to make money but I think that individuals who aim to gain profit should also gamble as I mentioned. Unfortunately, it is possible to encounter serious negative financial and psychological effects especially in case of a possible loss scenario due to losing all savings or budget in gambling and gambling all-in.

Even though my purpose of gambling is for fun I would recommend it to anyone who gambles for profit. Definitely, you shouldn't use all your money to gamble and you should not use your budget allocated for gambling with all-in risk. This will help you both feel better psychologically and recover from a possible loss.

I only bet my entire balance when ever I am already tired of playing and wanna lose all the money so that I can go and rest, because I know that if I have that balance there, i can only go off for a few minutes or like an hour, for immediately I pick up my phone or turn on my laptop again, I will want to continue gambling, and that hunger wont leave me until i either withdraw my balance from the casino, or loss it all.

So to find that peace of mind and not return to gambling until when I am ready again, I just bet all my balance in one game when I am already tired of playing, and the balance remaining is too small to withdraw , and sometimes, I end up winning, which normally and instantly brings or installs in me fresh zeal to continue playing again which at the end, I still end up losing everything..

I do experience trills born out of intense gambling and all that, but such feeling is not always my primary focus, it just happens on its own based on my decisions and actions.

1 in 4 chance to recover is not great odds and in dice it's not exactly an easy win. I would rather make many bets and try to recover if playing dice vs 1 big bet. Odds just aren't very good.

Gambling is gambling and if you're just looking for a rush then doing it your way is fine. How much are you betting if I may ask? What's significant to you?

I used to do something similiar but i changed my habbits a few years ago. I pretty much only gamble with small amounts now. All i deposit i expect to loose, when i win a substantial amount i withdraw 80-90% and then yolo the rest. My best ending yolo was a x120 on dice, rains all around

Well, I sometimes enjoy the intense gambling experience of betting a significant amount of my bankroll, but in a dice game, my chances of winning are less than 25%. Occasionally, I come out ahead, but most of the time, I end up losing, especially in short sessions. I find it exciting, perhaps because I make a profit in a specific session, but overall, it's a substantial loss, and it's a very risky strategy.

I am aware that the house always has an advantage, and in the long run, I am more likely to lose money than to win, so I don't prolong my gaming sessions. I understand that it's a low-probability bet, and there's a risk of losing money very quickly.

Despite all the challenges, this is still the strategy I often employ. Yes, I do win sometimes, but in the long run, I'm losing money overall. Fortunately, I don't have gambling problems like addiction because I know my limits, and I can calm myself down by accepting it and moving on, somewhat like getting over a broken heart, right?  :D

No, I never bet with big money or the remaining money I have to bet all-in in one bet. I don't need to do that, especially in gambling. We don't know whether we will win or lose.

And if it were the last time, I would stick to small bets most of the time. Or if it's enough gambling, I will choose to stop immediately. Betting big money for the last time means we are ready for whatever happens. But I would never be prepared for the outcome if I bet big money.

If you feel it can provide a great sensation of challenge, you can still do it. But I wouldn't choose that way.

Betting a significant amount is not for someone like me, maybe someday when I am worth millions of dollars I can start using like $2000 or more for gambling, that's because it's the amount I can afford to lose.

It's a shame that many people don't get it, gambling should be your last place of making money, it doesn't deserves good amount of money because you are against the owners, you need to only use money that won't affect you after, because losing is the only thing that has guarantee in gambling.

If you come up with a winning strategy well I doubt it will last for a long period of time, because, guess what? Casinos are monitoring the way you gamble, one day you will come online and use your same old tactics and you will end up in loss.

With all due respect, if you don't respect yourself when gambling, you will lose yourself, self respect matters, there are many better ways to spend your time than gambling.

I literally stop no matter what the result is. I tell you, it’s very hard to continue when your beats pounding hard on the last bet once you win since all the thrill that you feel will surely make you scared to not play anymore and just take profit.

After all, I already spend long hours before I came with that do or die bet meaning I already have enough gambling to continue or else I will just stick to my normal slow strategy until my remaining bankroll will depleted slowly.

Bro, you are a very high risk taker. I would die of a heart attack if I ever try your betting strategy.

My level of risk is this low to medium level. I want the thrill of winning and not ready to experience the pain of losing a significant amount of my bankroll. And I can't even gamble for more than 1 hour if I do, it means that I am chasing losses and would eventually lose. The smaller my betting amount and shorter my gambling time, the greater more wins I get. It doesn't need to be something significant, it's okay as long as I am not losing.

Before Covid attacked, I often gambled and bet on poker, Blackjack, cards and so on, my bets made good results because I played for real and physically, but when online crypto casinos come out and I try to bet on Blackjack, the facts that I experience are the opposite of the truth, I almost don't experience the opportunity, on average, That's why in my opinion physical and online betting are very different, I don't know what's going on in an online casino when the cards are dealt, online it's really hard to guess.

So, until now I have never gambled again in the game of Blackjack, let alone bet large amounts, maybe if I did I would be in a trance, for that I am happy to switch betting to sports, it seems like a real sport for me in betting, that is my brief experience in some gambling about Blackjack.

Yeah, it's the go home go big mentally, but I guess this is what gamblers wanted to reach though. For me, lately I'm being attached to roulette games and so I also do all in, I mean I just chose my favorite numbers and then put some huge bet on one of them.

If it hits, then I withdraw right away and take my winnings, same with losing as well. I stop completely when I didn't get it. But that feeling when you hit that numbers of yours, it's very different.

I do this whenever I’m tilted by experiencing consecutive losses which is very hard to recover using my normal bet. I do win most of the time when doing this since I make sure that I still have a lot of bankroll whenever I’m doing this so that I have multiple try attempt.

I have recent about this but only x3 of my bet using roulette which I’m always playing for this kind of huge bet. I don’t like dice because I want to see the result personally to make me satisfied that the result is fair.

This is my previous bet which I posted here in the forum few months ago.

Sometimes I bet my entire remaining deposit, but mostly I do so only when I urgently need to finish a gaming session and do some business. In normal situation I try to play with small bets to prolong the gaming session as long as possible. In my understanding, the higher the stakes, the higher the risks, and I don't really like to take risks as Lady Luck doesn't visit me as often as I would like.

As for me if I have more money on the gambling site, not that it is that much but able to let me go 1 hours or more if I continue to gamble every 20 to 30 seconds. If it is like this, I am not bother because I use reputable casinos and I will just leave the remaining money on the gambling site till the following day to continue gambling. I have only prefer to have fun on casinos.

I do it mostly when I am down 50%, so I go for a poker game with all in or even in blackjack only, and if I win, it gives me back my initial bankroll. However, I don't feel the intensity you are talking about and that may be because I am now used to it or that I don't mind losing it all (it is an amount I can afford to lose). You can only get thrilled with a significant amount if you are not ready to lose it IMHO.

Quite conservative I would say, or you are just a smart gambler, as you know that the recovery is not that great so it's better to take the long route in order to at least bounce back and see how it goes.

But there are gamblers that mostly, defy the logic (no offense to them), and I'm just one of them. Just like in my playing just a couple of minutes ago. In roulette I deposit once and lost everything in just one spin. And then I deposited again, and hit a single number so I covered my loses in my first deposit. But I feel lucky again and bet a single number and it hit again, so I made my initial capital of x5 and then quit right away.

I don't know if what I'm doing is the same as you or not, but the overall pattern is the same. So when I start the game for 5 to 10 minutes the game pattern feels monotonous or less exciting with wins but the balance is decreasing, what I do is finish it with all in. Increase your bets to be bigger and dare to take the risk of losing more quickly. It was thought that he would lose with a big bet, but instead the winnings increased more quickly so that the balance that was originally almost used up doubled. As a result, sometimes there is a stigma of dissatisfaction with my ambition to continue going all in by raising the bet bigger than before, causing the moment of winning that was previously doubled to actually bring me back to the initial position (condition of the balance running out). But what is clear is that the sensation is quite satisfying and you can feel how big bets cause increasingly high emotions. What I did after that was to contemplate taking a break for 2 to 3 days and returning to the casino in a more controlled state.

I sometimes do this when I feel tired of losing and regaining my losses and I'll go for a winner-take-all all bet it's more thrilling and you get a lot of excitement doing this.

If I win the joy is ten times if I lose at least I have a good time and it's worth it, it's important that you deposit money that you can afford to lose, this is a time that playing whether you lose or win brings excitement.

I think I always do this for most of the time but I know it's the amount I can afford to lose and it's not that huge of a bankroll tbh so I always go all-in. Well, it's still gambling and considering it only has 25% chance of winning that's too huge of a risk. What game/s you always go all-in in this? I go with dice for most of the time.

If you have been betting for a long time, you should immediately stop gambling instead of increasing the bet amount for one bet. It will only accelerate the loss of your money even though you can recover your previous losses and get your winnings if you win. But we know that in gambling, we may find it difficult to win even if we feel we are experts at playing the gambling game. We must remember that gambling is not a place to make money but gambling can cause losses quickly, including when we increase the amount of bets. But that's up to you because you may feel the pleasure of betting big money to recover your losses while getting more profits.

I'm not that type of gambler who gambles away the last vestiges of my bankroll. Indeed, the sensation of this is very exciting, especially for people who like challenges, they will do this to increase the sensation of their game, but I prefer to play it safe by ensuring that not all of the money I set aside for gambling at that time is used. It may sound like I'm too scared, but I think it's better than losing more money.

In both gambling and trading, one should start with small amounts and gradually build up to keep oneself in control. So it may be wise to gamble with a fixed amount. Because a limitation can save a gambler from deep gambling addiction. Gambling is a big addiction and if someone gambles with extra money here at excessive rates then that gambling takes a terrible shape for him. According to me a person should start gambling with 5% of their gambling budget and gamble for 1-2 hours a day maximum to avoid gambling deep addiction. Because the deep addiction to gambling causes a gambler much more harm than good

What I see here is that you are a very good business for casinos. You are driven by emotions and not by rational thought. The fact that you might get it right once in a while doesn't mean that this "strategy" only accelerates your losses in the long run.


Of course not. What I do is try to control my emotions as much as possible and make decisions as rationally as possible. Also playing an EV+ game, instead of EV- games.

I haven't done this for a while already. And I am glad that I can control my betting spree, especially during these hard times. Or it could be that I am just currently more occupied with other stuff that I only gamble less.

I think my biggest bet before was around $2k in our local currency which is pretty significant to me right now. I felt excited and thrilled but I was not nervous or something. I had more memories with little bets where I was sweating and got nervous about the results. :D But for me, I don't really like that feeling. I felt like I bet more than I could afford to lose if I got nervous about my bets.

I often did this a few years ago (if I'm not mistaken about 2 years ago), when we do it, we feel we're looking for an extraordinary sensation, when in fact we're becoming problem gamblers here. It's not about how quickly to make a profit from betting, but about how many hands we can play. Now I have the mindset for it, and will not be a problem gambler anymore like before. Trust me mate, you look for thrills in the beginning and become problem gamblers in the end. Good luck! ;)

Betting significant amount due to suffered lose streaks is like using martingale strategy because you're hoping you will win and it will recover your previous losses. Since martingale strategy isn't working, so it's good to assume betting significant amount in the last bet will not work too.

I ever did this and when my last bet doesn't come like what I've expected, I become mad and regret for it.

I don't chase the sensation of a big win (jackpot) by betting bigger, but I often bet with small bets for the same sensation. So far I don't think I'm a greedy gambler on a budget, so I have to be quite realistic about those desires rather than spoil the overall fun.

Given a very limited budget, I don't think betting large amounts is what I would do. I agree big wins are the hope of all gamblers, but I don't think it's a good idea to throw it all in in one fell swoop without considering the risk of losing. Small bets for the same desires tend to make more sense to me, but feel free to do so if you have a bigger budget.

You said that most of the time you lose this aggressive gameplay but you win few times and recover your losses. I want to ask what is your overall experience. Are you able to recover all your losses from the few wins or do you still remain in loss even after winning a significant betting amount?

The formula which you have told is mainly for those who have extra money and losing the money through aggressive betting does not matter then much. Most of the gamblers may take such a risk but if they lose, it really becomes hard for them to try this again and again.

I think everyone would have the same tendencies. As we become more desperate about our loss, we tend to be willing to take more risks and without our regular or any strategies. For example, going all in on any cards you held in poker. And we are so much desperate about getting everything back that we don't even stop when we get back 90% of our loss. By doing so, we significantly decrease our odds. The sense of thrilling would be a good one if you are able to retain our loss and probably win more but it would feel a useless effort when we lose it all.
By the amount we lose in a few moment, we could have played with that amount for days. I have done such reckless bets a few times and I regret it.

His overall experience as said was about the thrills he felt with the last money. It would have been great if we win every time we go all in. He more likely didn't put all his hopes on his last bet but he felt intense and accepted fate whichever the result.

I also felt the same when I lost my $100 capital in a dice game and then when it's all just $10 left, I went all in bet the $10, rollover, and slid the multiplier to 90. This is to see if it's really a bad luck day.

Staking with hugh amount can only be advised when one is 100% confident on the game and his prediction. Gambling is clearly not for those struggling with finance because they will always end up been gambling addicts which will tremble horribly on their accounts. Betting is risky, one can provide opinions relating to games, perhaps the end results is always different. We gamble what we can afford to lose and possibly not what we make us lose everything within the twinkle of an eye. We gamble to earn extra changes and not relying on the system to earn streaming income, it's not acceptable because there's presence of losses and winnings.

I am also doing the same thing, betting all in with my remaining bankroll but most of the time, I end up not being satisfied because I terribly used up all of its remaining amount. However, probably once or twice, I end up winning a huge bet but since greed is always present in a gambler, all my profits have gotten back to the house. This has always happened to me, but until now I’m still not learning from it and still continue to bet all in.

For someone who considers gambling a source of fun or some entertainment, things like these are definitely worth it because you will feel like riding on a lot of mixed emotions and the thrill is absolutely out of this world. You make large bets to try your luck, you might even try very high multipliers on the dice with a small amount just to try and hit it at least once and when you do so, that's another feeling, and this is exactly what I try the most when I'm gambling.

That being said, these things wouldn't be fun for someone who is only looking for profit and doesn't really care about the thrill or the fun it has, because a person who is looking for profits might feel sad instead of feeling the thrill after that last bet where you go all-in and hope for a win. If you are playing for fun and you lose, that doesn't change a lot of things and you still feel good, but if it's done for profit, the loss might put you through a lot of emotions.

I'm guilty on this. But I'm not ashamed since I'm not regularly doing this. It's very rare for me to experience consecutive losses without a win that will deplete my bankroll to this level so I always cherish this opportunity to have this intense gambling experience. I'm gambling to kill boredom aside from profit which is why I sometimes do this without thinking about my bankroll because I only deposit what I can afford to lose.

I didn't mention that this is some sort of strategy. This thread is simply just sharing an experience on this kind of scenario. I'm not actually asking if this experience is good or bad but rather I'm interested to know if other person do this crazy move.  :D

Yes, I think we all have come on this point especially if we are fond of thrills and excitements. Maybe this is also because we are used to doing the same bets and the same strategy all the time, and at some point we want something different and we attempt on betting significant amounts. Of course, when you are doing things repetitively we end up getting bored, and by betting a huge amount can spark that excitement again. But of course, we have to understand that by doing this, you are in a high risk situation. It's either you end up losing a great amount of money, or you gain double. Still, this is not advisable for everyone especially if you're a type of person who regrets easily.

I think a lot of us have done this in the past, and this is a natural response, our logic tell us 'If you have lost on a long streak the win should be close'. It is like a variant of the martingale, and a classic rule, make your bet high to recover the losses.

And there is another variant of this, and the variant is to chase a bigger multiplier, i know this doesn't apply for BJ but on dice it works fine, let's say you are chasing a x10, and after a losing streak you start chasing now the x20 with the same amount. Sometimes it works.

So do I, there is a feeling of anxiety when you are playing for hours and you still want to know if you are going to lose it all or if you have a chance to win, one of my biggest wins comes from this scenario, after playing for two hours I just want to know if I will lose everything or make a profit because I sometimes don't want to remain in my bankroll especially at the end of the weekend when I have work tomorrow.

I agree there's a lot of thrill and excitement in doing this kind of thing it's like challenging yourself if you're going to have it or not, but too much of this can lead you to addiction.

Almost every gambler has experienced this feeling because at one point every gambler has gone all in and lost.
Even I have done the same and not once but many times. I gamble and keep losing and at point I go all in.
I don't care about the results after this bet and quit the game no matter I lose or win.
Although I had lost most of the times but I did win few times and still chose to take profit and quit.

No, you are not guilty in this matter. It's your money, and you can use it to gamble, whether you bet with small or large bets. And you can make big bets as long as you can accept the risks, and it won't make you regret it. And if you lose, you have to leave immediately and don't let it make you curious about your loss and deposit another amount of money to recover your previous loss. You have done the right thing by depositing an amount of money that you can afford to lose. So it's okay if you bet all in. Just enjoy gambling and feel the fun ;D

Winning while gambling is not by the rate of the amount of money we decided to use for betting, most of these gambling games comes with how skillful we are and lucky, in doing this, we must be rest assured that the amount we are using to gamble with is the amount of money we can afford to loose, some can afford using a reasonable about of money to bet and on thesame view loose the whole money on gambling because they realized the risk involved and knew they already have a backup to support their financial loss recovery.

You’ve already said it; you often use this scheme and most of the time you are losing. On my end I believe it is not a good thing to do so; would your rather lose everything for that day or atleast have remains of your money for this day to be used on the next day? I get the idea that we’re driven but having such mindset will just put you in worse situation. You’d be easily be frustrated and too used of betting all you have just for the chance of earning an amount which won’t get back what you have lost. It would be a cycle afterwards that you’d be fine losing all your money for that day. Much better is to set limits for yourself and even set an amount or percentage of your daily gambling money to decide whether it is just a bad day or just unlucky of the game itself. Self restriction is a virtue that not all of us possess. It will always be better to be preventive than to just engage and risk everything. We are just being frustrated in such way and it won’t put us in a better place for sure.

Amount on betting is important, it's advisable we gamble within our means. The system is volatile; it might be predictable, but it may additionally function against us as well. We're simply common gamblers attempting to profit from the system; it doesn't make us enthusiastic but rather frantic about sustaining our winnings; we must understand the basics of gambling for the purpose to prevent liquidating our accounts. Winning is the goal; it is evidence that we are getting something from the system. Gambling can be traded with luck because it is one of the significant traits that causes profits.

That is it, but gamblers should use the amount of money that they can afford to lose. Example is if I am earning $500 every week, I can use 5% to gamble. If I start gambling with $25 all day long and the balance remain $6.25. I may decide to put the remaining 30% which is $6.25 on gambling at once if I gamble just once in a week during weekend. As long as I do not go against my weekly gambling budget, I do not even care if I lose all the weekly gambling budget.

I wouldn't recommend playing with your health when gambling.Of course we get excited when we expect to win and we like that, but we still need to take care of our health.You said that you take a higher risk to compensate if you can afford to lose a certain amount, but that doesn't always work.This can be more of a problem if you are often down on your luck.
I was not betting a significant amount of my money, I always tried to play with what I could afford to risk and when I lost I would use the rest of my money more sensibly by betting.

uhh... this is too reckless and careless for some gamblers, including me, to do and I always try to avoid this because it is too risky for me to do. And I also realized that I was gambling not just this time, but in the following weeks I always wanted to gamble and gamble, so if I went all-in in one game I was very worried if the money wouldn't come back because again I only to get defeated
So in the end I became confused about gambling in the following weeks because I ran out of capital to gamble.
So it's a good idea when we experience consecutive losses, what we have to do is withdraw from gambling as soon as possible, before something worse happens to us, namely even bigger losses in gambling.

And there's the most important highlighted note. Do this thing only if you're seeking thrill and entertainment. That is why you as a participant in gambling on any bet must have first a very specific goal. What is it you are aiming for? Are you there just for fun? Are you there to make money? Are you there to make a living? Are you there to approach it like a business thinking in probabilities?

Because if you just want entertainment then it's reasonable to be a degenerate with your money. But if you are there to make money aiming to have at least a consistent profit, then you must be aware of respecting the risk.

I guess it has nothing to do with our health though, of course it's important to us and we shouldn't take it for granted. But what the OP meant is the thrill here, it's like Bungee jumping or any other thrill sports. And you can see that there are people who enjoyed it.

As for this kind of method for gamblers, yeah, I also enjoyed this kind of adrenaline action specially in a land base casinos, it's going to be one on one, either you or the house are going to take the win and so it's very excited like in card games or even in roulette.

Only a few of gamblers who dont really mind on losing as long they do able to experience the thrill that they do seek or simply they had really enjoyed the game which it was really that supposed the main reason on why we do gamble and on why its been created which it is really that intended just for "fun" but we know that there are people who dont really like on losing money or the game on which they would really be that too positive that they could really be able to make up some winnings and when they lose then they cant really be just that able to accept it and this is why they would really be that impulsive when it comes to their gambling session
because they are really that expecting that much which arent supposed to be done because it would really be just making you desperate and if you arent that careful in regarding with your motives
then this is where it would really be making you desperate and this is where mistakes and errors would happen due to wrong bad decision that has been made basing up with those bad assumptions and targets
that you do have in mind.

Well, if it turns out a win I guess you'll get back to your regular betting again, unless you're tired and exhausted of the thrill you had and call it a day, then that's a win situation for you, otherwise you'll gonna risk that capital fron lossing again.
I've done it several times before and yes the OP is correct, most of the time you'll end up emptying your bankroll after that 1 last time huge bet because you have mixed emotions and one of those are frustrations, regardless if you feel thrilled with this one last shot, you still can't deny that frustrations will be present.

Having a losing streak makes you bet for more and yes I also did this as long as I’m still on a budget. As a gambler we want that excitement and yes you can have it by increasing your bet even if it you are not losing, just don’t be greedy on chasing losses because you might forget to gamble within your limit.

Health is wealth and whatever activities you want to do you must first have good health to be able to stay ahead in everything,  excessive gambling can indeed lead to high chances of health issues so at that we have to take every possible steps to guide ourselves through all the time and maintain a balance state of mind.

Betting above an amount we can afford to lose is something that should be avoided in all round,  because that could put you in a position that you may not be able to bear since gambling is not a guaranteed activity and it winning is only based on luck.

No, I do not do the same thing as you @OP betting significant amount of my bankroll when my bankroll gone down to a certain percentage.  I bet in a fixed amount manner waiting for my wagering to either give me an insane win by hitting high multiplier or drain down until my bankroll got depleted.  I am not impatient and I don't get triggered when my bankroll had gone down to less than 40% of my initial fund.

This is typical gambling behavior and what casinos bank on.  People always tend to chase their loses with bigger bets causing them to lose big to the casinos.  Last thing they want is a repetitive strategy and holding the line.  Ypu will not win everytime like that so long as you don't go all in all the time you have a shot at beating the book.

Every now and again, yes. I gamble mostly for the entertainment and the thrill of it and so there will be times, and it doesn't have to be me sitting on my last leg about to bet it all, that I bet a significant portion of my bankroll for the hell of it. It's fun, it gets the blood going for me since I don't cheap out on bets like these (and I don't belligerently spend either so don't worry), so the money that I burn is definitely something that for people are significant.

I don't really advise it especially for people who are gambling on a budget or those that are looking to relinquish poor gambling habits as this practice when left uncheck may lead you to even worse gambling behaviors down the line, but for those of us who have already cracked the code on gambling responsibly, this is the way to go if you want to get thrills.

Satisfying your thrills?? Hahhhh... Alright, in what way do you normalize the frequency - influenced by your thrills to betting significantly and utilizing even more of your bankrolls??.... How's that fun to you?? Hasn't there been a time that you feel used up too much and that you have to stop wagering for Christ sake???
Well, I understand how strong the urge is when you're on the losing side - it makes no difference when you keep wagering anyways.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

That's not insane since "what if" we really win after dealing with that thrill? I sometimes do that. :)

Referring to my own experience, especially when I'm really on a bad losing streak after playing for several hours, I sometimes consider going all-in on my remaining bankroll on that particular gambling session since it's like, I'm now wasting time for several hours and nothing good still happening lol.

If I lose after risking an all-in, then stop, go to sleep, and move on.

If I won, then the fun will just continue lol.

The feeling is mutual. I do that hoping to change the losing streak scene and environment while gambling for long hours. Sometimes the result is good, sometimes it's bad. We are gambling after all and just taking risks since we are losing in the first place at that particular time.

Doing gambling for long, then still the starting bankroll is not moving at all and worst, still in negative, I'd rather take the risks of betting all those left, around 25% to 30% of the bankroll. If we nailed it, that will change the feeling and will start again being hype to continue.

The only problem is, when I do win after that risky action, it fuels me to gamble more and will not take a break lol. :D

In my case I don't, as I tend to control my emotions quite well in this respect, although when winning a big win, for example, it is inevitable to feel a rush. What happens to me when I'm losing is the opposite, I get bored and cut the session short, I stop playing instead of playing what I have left, which is what you do. Sometimes I've planned to cut the session and I've extended it a bit more to see if something would come out, but if I continue with a losing streak, in the end I close and leave.

Stopping when you lose is recommended so we don't experience more losses. And you have done what is best for you so that you can control your emotions quite well. It requires continuous practice and not many people can do it. But if someone makes his last bet by betting big money, he should have thought about the risks because if he loses, he could lose all his money on his last chance. And @OP can accept the risk so he still often does it even though there is regret at the end of the game if he loses, but it is normal for someone to regret at the end of the game because they have lost.

We should be specific with this, though — having a certain amount as a limit is necessary, as stopping when we lose is not the right way. The thing is, we gamble to win, so why would we stop when we lose, especially when there's still a portion left in our bankroll? Sometimes we have to trust our instincts, take bigger risks, but it's important to stay disciplined and stick with the game plan, being specific at all times.

We don't necessarily have to stop or pause when gambling as long as we can afford to continue with the gambling since we have the money and we are not gambling to make money but to have fun, you may agree with me that not every gambler is that interested in making money, maybe if we can first considers the loss and the fun both altogether, then we choose which to go after first because all fingers are not equal, the capacity we all have in finances are different from each other, but on a general note, we should not gamble too much that we don't take a look on how we've gone on recent.

Everyone has a different view, it seems you are an addict who may have the mindset of gambling to win, I think that is wrong in my view, because if you gamble without clear limits it will waste all our money, there is still time tomorrow to play again if you lose or not. There is no harm in stopping for a moment, especially if you have reached your gambling budget limit.

Gambling must have a budget limit because that way we can avoid addiction and not exceed the limit, never bet to win because it will never end, there is only spending money, bet to have fun so that when we lose we don't continue to be obsessed with winning and fall into the trap. to the point of going beyond the point of even addiction, but it still comes back to the fact that each of our views are different, it seems your view is different from some of the more normal gamblers. BTW, our instincts are not always right

Gamble only what you can afford to lose, as they usually say, and I agree with it. In gambling, the key to winning big money is not a one-time success; consistency is still the key to that success. We cannot achieve that in just a short span of time; we have to train ourselves, improve our skills, and eventually, we will become successful in gambling. Betting a significant amount is only advisable if you are truly confident and your statistics show that you are already profitable. Otherwise, it's best to keep it low and just have fun with gambling.

That's what gets people addicted and I feel like you're going to have some problems quitting because the way you describe it, you like it too much and in time you're going to bet more and more to feel like this, just like a climber must go to a higher mountain to feel like he's achieving something and a race driver is going to push the car to the limits because it's harder and harder to get that adrenaline rush.


But you lose most of the time. That and the word "worth it" don't go together well.


And feel even more beaten most of the time.

No, the maximum I already bet in a single shot was 9%-10% of my total bankroll. I fear to bet more than that and regret later. It must be really painful to lose a considerable portion of your bankroll because a wrong single bet. It would definitely impact my mood negatively for days until I could assimilate the situation better. Anyway, initial bets shouldn't exceed 0,1%-1% of your total bankroll. To reach an extreme like I did to bet 10% at once was due to facing a long loss streak and trying to recover what was already lost, in vain...

Exactly what you have done, never be interested in allocating large amounts of money from what you have, I expect most gamblers including newcomers will put 1% - 5% of the money they have at that time. Even though they may be wealthy people but I still think that kind of budget limit is necessary, they are still at the beginning and if they are able to set such a small budget for gambling then even if they want to increase the amount of bets next time it will definitely be difficult to do because they are used to small budget amounts, and well there will definitely be a fear of increasing that amount, like you said and indeed it is much better.


I think everyone and anyone is obliged to apply a lot of restrictions when they want to gamble, none other than for themselves especially so that their finances do not plummet too much due to loss, because it is true that if they come with no limiting tools whatsoever then obviously negative impacts will come, even they could lose all their money in one night. So the point is that it is better to use the limits that you think are the best, it will be very useful when we gamble, because it is the only tool that can help you to minimize losses, in fact it is better to prevent than to cure. I hope you can recover your losses soon.

well, when I put money in the casino, before I put the money in the casino I make my calculations of the amount of money I will put in each game and how many games per week I will bet on them, for example if this week at most I will place a bet on 5 games and I intend to put 2$ in each game, so I put 10$ in the casino and follow this management without deviations, that is, even if I lost in 3 games, which would be a loss of 6$ and I only ended up with 4$, I I don't do that kind of thing out of desperation or getting angry and putting all the remaining $4 into a single game. I don't do that, because it would be breaking my bankroll management and at that moment I would no longer be playing a responsible game and I would be letting my emotions take over me, something that shouldn't happen

I know that many people, when they put money into the casino, still have no idea how to manage their bankroll and don't have any strategy or goals, they just play and then when they are losing a lot, they soon give up and put everything they have left into one round, as if they were going to think: this is all over and that's why it's all or nothing. When you are lucky enough to win using this method, you soon think that it is a good method that works. I know this because that was exactly what I did 4 years ago when I started gambling, I remember that at that time I had no idea how to analyze games

but I put money on every game that involved a high team against an average team, in this scenario my bet was on the big team, but I lost my bet because the big team drew and with that my bankroll was greatly reduced, and when I realized that There was little money left for my bankroll to run out, so I put all my money into another game that was also a big team against a small team and luckily I got it right, this happened to me 3 times until I decided to stop playing because it was pointless to continue doing it. that kind of things

I used to be a risk taker before where I risk my last fun just to recover my losses from a loss streak but I realized that it isn't helping but rather makes me feel regretful in the end. Since then, I strictly disciplined myself and put limitations in all that I do. I learned to stop when I have reached my limit and not to touch my remaining balance once I exceed.
If we will not control our emotions then it will be the one who will control us which might ruin our gambling journey which could actually lead into gambling addiction. Proper control is always necessary and we shouldn't have to be risk takers all the time.

I try significant amount but it is relative. However I don't keep going on it especially if I have recorded lose meaning I give up to reducing my stake. If I keep losing then it tells me it is time to give up on that day to try next time. I don't allow the greed to play on me because most times what gamblers do is to look at potential winning and not at possible winnings. So I do calculate my chances to a game and if I'm not getting it that way I believe it is not my lucky day at it , instead of forcing it I will let go for that day.

10% of our bankroll is still a good amount to get but for me 5% is okay, honestly in the world of gambling we must know that not all the Time we will win and most of our time is that we will loss but still a good decision and choose the amount of money we will bet. But once we will loss a quiet big then all we aiming for us to recover that loss so we decide to bet much bigger so if we will win our loss will came back.

Getting a big win in gambling is a big hope for everyone who is involved in gambling. And it is true that, when we expect too much to win, there will be something bad that will happen to us and one of them is by making crazy bets.

I am quite aware that I very rarely get a big win in gambling. But this does not make me completely abandon gambling. So what I do is to limit myself when gambling, namely by limiting my deposit, bet amount and time to play gambling. So even though I can't get a big win in gambling but at least I can minimize the losses I experience and I am also quite aware that victory does not come in every game, so going all-in for one game is ridiculous.

And All the things and limits that I apply in gambling are nothing but this I do for my own good in gambling.

I never go all in on a single bet, even after losing a few bets in a row. I tend to follow the plan.
That said, I rarely play fast games like dice or crash. I try to bet on sports more, so after losing a few bets I just go on like normal and follow my intuition. Sometimes you just can't help it and can't avoid the loss.

OP, you say you lose that all in bet most of the time, why do you continue to do it then? Feels a bit suicidal to me, but if it keeps you sane, I won't argue. It's important to stay away from mental institutions ;)

No definitely. During the time of my gambling spree, I only betted the amount that I am willing to lose, which is around 20% of my current savings given by my father. Regardless of the result whether I profit or lose, I stop gambling once I spend the amount that I initially allocated for it.

Good for you OP since you managed to recover your winnings at the end of your game. But please be careful as these results can be two-sided. While you may experience winning most of the time, never discount the possibility of you losing more than what you have started.

Correct, sometimes losing is more than winning. We should have a proper limitation to the amount of money we are about to spend so that we will not be out of our current budget and it will not be a problem for us since we will have a clear amount in our mind that when we are losing we will not add more money to play with it since it will be hard to stop when we don't have a limit.

The question you have to ask yourself is this.... Are you trying to make up your losses OR are you addicted to the thrill of risking your money to do it? A lot of gamblers are addicted to the "good" feel endorphins that are released in the brain when they risk a lot of money on a big bet....   :(

This is the first signs of gambling addiction and you have to be aware of that... because you are possibly going in that direction. You should decide if you are going to gamble for fun or if you are going to gamble to make a profit.  :P

Yes, and it makes sense that limiting funds or limiting oneself is a simpler and slightly easier way for gamblers to do it, but the problem is that it all still depends on the thoughts of each gambler.
Because even if you plan something to limit your budget or limit yourself from betting, you will still break these rules yourself when your desire to win big becomes stronger, you are too brave to take risks and ignore your own rules, which ends up running out of budget again.
With this I am a little doubtful that even experienced gamblers will fail to limit their budget or stop when they lose because it is very difficult for gamblers to stop unless they have no more money.

That's what I thought when I read his post. Is he trying to wing it up to a point at which he panics and goes all in thinking that if the gods want him to go bust he's not going to wait, or is he bored by hours of gambling with no thrill and wants to give himself a boost and go all in?

I never do anything like that. If I did, I'd feel like the game threw me off balance and made me panic and go all in when there are no signs that I should do it. If you want to go all in, just do it, don't play for 3 hours trying to win and then break down and bet it all.

I plan my betting amount prior to when the actual activity begins. With this strategy or plan I don't do anything too extreme. On very rare occasions I have tested the level of risk I can carry by next betting between 80% to 95% of my bankroll. After all no risk no reward. And when I win , I buy myself a bottle of beer and if I lose, I chide myself on how stupid my plan was.

I know some newbie may be reading this and thinking to himself I am going to try this out. I would like to mention that this is a very risky strategy and if all you are plan on trying it out, use only money that you can afford to lose for your bankroll.

Going all in, isn't a bad technique for some card games like Poker. Often times, it works for me and I enjoy going all in, especially when my card ranks at straight flush and some times flush. I don't encourage using such technique recklessly, because when winning is not guaranteed it'll be a waste of funds. Like OP said, it's risky, but if one wins, it covers for the losses and lands the player back in game with profits.  Quite correct, I feel good to play all in, even when I lose out my bet, yet I'm not addicted and not feeling any sign of addiction. Since, there is a possibility of winning, it's not boredom that leads me to do that, also I see it as part of the game, if I win I keep playing if not I leave. I've seen good gamblers, who engage in such practice and indeed it's fun. However, it's not for everyone to go all in, because most players will feel like they made the wrong decision.

On the time that you do see and being confident about your hands in regarding into those cards then this is where it would starts your heart pump and your mind and heart/emotion would really be starting out to create those kind of thinking that you should really be going all in because you are really that confident that you would gonna win. I could really attest on such scenario because this is something that will really be able to feel out that kind of thrill and excitement at the same time on which this is something that mostly prefer and dont mind about spending up their entire balance for that one shot. We know that there are differences in between card games and casino games which we know that making some all in kind of behave on casino games isnt really that something that you could really be making yourself that confident on doing so, considering the risks involved and the odds/chance of winning then you do already picture out on what would gonna happen.

Betting out accordingly with your budget and never ever make that all in and make out some another deposit just because you had lost that previous one. Dont tend to chase up
losses because this is where people do mostly commit out mistakes and would really be having that kind of problem.

Certain players begin from the wrong point and perception of gambling: It's meant to be a bit of fun with the huge long shot chance that you might get a great return on the amount you "invested". However the majority of players will walk away with very little and it should ultimately trigger a response that the odds are not in their favor, so it is likely a place to avoid if your intention is taking a shortcut to wealth. If you're playing a session of over an hour on a completely unskilled game like slots, then you are walking down a very dark and dangerous path which will lead to devastation if you stay on it. Casinos are designed to separate you from any money you deposit with them and will use every psychological trick they can to achieve that aim.

Regardless of how much you staked,  losing is losing anyways toe both big amount and small amount the pain of losing is the same unless for the recovery from the loses that are not same,  why because,  you can easily recover from a small lose and you can easily have the guilt to continue playing if your amount in loses is not significant enough.

But if you lose a bigger amount,  you will have some hard time to recover from it and in most cases you may not have any funds left to continue playing with.

Talking about being confident, it's rare in gambling, regardless of the kind of decision you take. When I go all in while gambling, like any other person, I'm only confident of winning or losing. The positive aspect of it is that, the thrill of winning is higher than losing. I always have this immense feeling of winning, surprisingly I don't get sad when I lose the money. What keeps me rolling with this strategy is that, I've tried it and it worked; a good number of times. Like I said, it's not a reckless move, the best time for it always show up and taking the risk can worth it. Strategies work differently for everyone, according to the method of administration. What a remarkable profit, if you win.


That's for gamblers who have not mastered, the art of going all in. Nobody can withstand the high losses of gambling with only a technique. If going all in is all a gambler got, definitely he'll fall into such problems. And that'll not only affect his bankroll, but also drastically diminish the fun. Chasing losses leads to gambling addiction and I don't support such things. Each gambling strategy one has or possess, should be implemented at the right time and moment.

This is true. People begin their gambling journey by thinking of winning it all and having a shortcut to riches. In reality, they are asking for something else totally different from being rich. They're asking for addiction, for losses, for regrets, if they continue gambling with that mindset. There is still a possible redemption for these people, though, if they recognized early that they are in for a wild ride. Gambling is supposed to be fun, and no one should look at it as a way to riches.

It is something I had considered to do sometime in the future, since I mostly try to make my budget to last as much as possible and have a relatively "small thrill" gambling hour.

Though, I would like to do that if I am celebrating with friends a special occasion or during a travel to an exotic place, etc. It would me more interesting than doing it from the computer, in my opinion.

At least, you are fully aware your high risks moves are supposed to be about thrill and not entirely for the sake of profit.

So it looks like that you are chasing adrenaline rush. Look, at the end of the day, it's your money, your rules. If you can genuinely afford to lose what you're putting on the line and are getting the entertainment value you seek, then that's your call. I mean, some people pay for skydiving or for other crazy stuffs to get their heart pumping, but you're just doing it through gambling. However, I would like to say, just be sure you're not sliding into addiction territory. Chasing the thrill can become something else if you're not careful. Remember to check in with yourself and ensure that this isn't negatively affecting other aspects of your life or relationships. Stay aware, stay in control, and never gamble what you can't afford to lose. You also said that you go all in so you can recover your loss. Don't go chasing after losses too. You might have gotten lucky today, but not tomorrow.

If the situation allows you to bet using the remaining money and accept further losses, you can place another bet. But I don't want to experience another loss after the previous loss and I would rather just quit than lose all the money. But if the situation doesn't allow it, it's better to know ourselves and not take too big a risk. The risks are greater than we can imagine so it depends on each gambler. Maybe you still dare to bet again using the remaining money we have.

Obviously you have to make full considerations before finally making the decision to bet with a large amount, is this the best way to speed up the chances of winning? I say not entirely, even if you for example change the budget to be bigger but still it will not have an effect, and maybe it will only make you enjoy gambling longer because your budget is large and it is like making you have many lives before finally losing. And well like I said it will not affect completely, gambling is only one and nothing more than luck, although you may have good skills but still maybe it affects only a few percent. Choosing a little thrill is better than more defeat, and of course that is the end that is always the starting point of some who experience addiction.

That's right, this activity should only be for fun, not more than that if you don't want it to end badly. Gambling is a very high-risk activity, and I hope all new gamblers understand this. if they really want to find entertainment then they shouldn't also increase their budget, nothing else in my opinion is their wrong assumption to increase the chances of profit.

It is true that betting with a small amount in the beginning is a good loss but the amount of risk is low. Once you have your basic budget set you'll want to establish a unit size the general rule is that any single bet should be a small portion of your total bankroll. For a conservative approach unit size can be 1% to 2% of your bankroll, while a more aggressive style can be 3% to 5%. Also when it comes to how much to bet a reasonable rule of thumb is to only risk what a player can afford to lose.

I guess we are totally different in this. I do not have the heart to go all in with a 25% chance of winning... that is indeed real gambling!. I am a very conservative player, so I risk as low as 2% of my capital per day.

I pay more attention to my gambling habits than the winning because I believe that a bad gambling habit will bring more pain than loses and with a good gambling habit, it becomes easier recovering from draw-down.

All the same, if this works for you and you are having fun in it, then enjoy the flow.

Many bettors bet more and think that it will magically increase their chances of winning. No matter what, gambling is still a game of luck. Betting bigger may bring short-term excitement, but inevitably leads to bigger losses and regret.

When viewed through the perspective of responsibility, gambling should always be treated as just that: a distraction, a casual journey into the world of risk taken just for the sake of entertainment. It's not a solid wealth strategy. All those new gamblers with dollar signs need a reality check. Budget increases don't increase profit; they increase pain, sorrow.

Gambling should remain a game, as you say. It should never become a lifeline or path to success. Those entering this high-risk field must act properly. There is a lot more to life than the deceptive belief of get rich quick.  :P :P

If you bet with big amount for short term excitement, it can become a life time regret if you lose that money. Better no try such experiments which may bring so big financial losses that may take months and years to recover and in some cases, you may never be able to recover those losses if your overall portfolio is small.


No matter you treat gambling as a fun game or a game to make money, always keep money management in mind so that you won't lose big. As long as your whole portfolio is intact, you will get fun plus money from gambling.
Gamblers are required to make a risk management plan and then stick to that plan.

25% is quite big to use in gambling but it depends on individual strategy because there are people that uses higher percentage for gambling in other to get a big return just as they said the higher the risk the bigger the return but that doesn't mean we should risk all we have to gamble, for me I use to be very cautious when it comes to gambling I always make sure the money I will use for the gambling will not affect me if I loss so i always apply risk management when gambling, I make sure to put 4% of my capital and never go beyond that. So it totally depends on what gambling strategy that favours you, so we should always choose the one that works for us.

When we have more sources of income it is possible to easily have a large betting limit but when we ourselves have realized that the source of income is not really able to provide opportunities or money left over to meet life needs then trying to hold on as long as possible to save more finances is the right thing to do this is appropriate and necessary to do so that we do not experience regret when we lose an amount of money that we cannot necessarily accept.

Some people want to have a big win and take the risk of betting carelessly even worse they are willing to use their savings or money for living needs just to be able to bet and realize their desire to achieve sensational gambling wins but all of this will only.

My advice is that as much as possible you should always save your finances and have a way to manage them.

I don't gamble to make money, I do it just for some mindless fun.

That being said, I'll wager 5-10% of my total bankroll on a single bet, maximum, usually betting 5% of my total most of the time. I never go all in.

I'm generally playing blackjack with basic strategy, that gives me enough in my bankroll to double/split. I'm not too comfortable doubling/splitting with anything more than 20% of my bankroll. The money goes too quick. I could probably find a dice game online that has a lower house edge than blackjack, but I prefer live table games.

I casually do this when gambling on dice games as it seems fun to do so especially when you're about to end your gambling session.

Most of the time, I used martingale method and do some alterations from that method to make it last longer however when I have to do something or needed to end my gambling session, I mostly bet all in on one bet with atleast 3x -5x multiplier which most of the time burn my bankroll. However, the thrill and excitement it provide whenever I won these bets are truly fantastic.

Also, I never felt anything when I lose doing it as I do have a certain budget allocated to make sure I never overspend.

Actually, gambling an important amount at once has little to do with making full considerations of even reasoning, in my opinion, it is mostly about ending one's session completely with the next move and let luck to decide the destiny of one's money. There is not much logic or reasoning behind it, just more thrill seeking.

On the opposite part of the spectrum, there is the people who believe to have found a way to defeat the system of the casino by gambling in specific patterns and only specific games. Since it is not for the sake of thrill but only money and fruitless strategy, it can only end up wrong for those sorts of gamblers.

Better just to play, have fun and if one ends up having a lucky day, to withdraw some of those earnings, so one can enjoy them.

This excitement can sometimes affect you negatively and you can have troubled times with it. Of course, there is an excitement when betting and it would be better to experience this excitement on the spot rather than at peak levels. I once preferred to take bets with high adrenaline with this kind of entertainment, but I eventually decided that it was not a good thing, so I don't like taking such risks as much as I used to.

Well as I said above, no matter how much money the tone brings it still won't have an effect on increasing the chances of winning, but maybe it will be useful to increase your playing time for longer. Well I understand their thoughts, and it is only natural because every gambler will always look for many ways to win and one of them is by bringing more capital, they think this will work but in the end their losses are even greater there. I say you absolutely will not be able to make the magic come, because it is really only about luck, nothing more than that, if you are lucky it means you will win, and if you are unlucky it means you lose, that's all and that's simple to understand the concept of gambling in general.

Well it's true I agree that gambling is just a "journey to achieve entertainment, not income", it's very stupid if someone assumes that this is a strategy to achieve wealth, if you want to be rich then work with your sweat, not looking for luck like this, obviously this does not enter the logic of normal people. If you want to get rich from gambling then you have to be a bookie yourself not a gambler who always hopes for luck, because obviously the gambling system is created to always benefit the house itself, that's all.

It's normal to get excited when gambling because if not, there's no sense in gambling if you are not thrilled. However, you have to ensure that you know how to control your excitement, and that you will not go beyond your limits in terms of bets, especially the amount you can afford to lose. Always stick with what you can afford to lose, because if you go beyond that, that's the time you will regret it. Without satisfaction, you will keep chasing both losses and winnings, but in the end, you will still lose since you don't have the advantage, the house own that.

The excitement experienced by those who play gambling for pleasure and for the sake of making money is not normal. I don't think analysts who make money here will be so excited. The excitement control will of course vary according to the difficulty of the bets you take. If you enter with the money you can afford to lose, it is not very exciting for you, but it is more exciting when you win.

If you experience excessive excitement, it can have a negative impact on you, and you may not be able to stop because you still want more excitement. You will drift into gambling without being able to decide to stop, especially when you see that your money is getting bigger and instead decide to increase the amount of bets. It will only provide greater risk than before because we can experience bigger losses, which can drain our money quickly. Remember that the bigger your bet, the bigger your losses can be. It's best that after you win a lot of money, you immediately leave the casino and don't gamble anymore but enjoy the winnings.

Gambling is one of the most risky engagements anyone can get himself in especially when you know very well that it's very difficult to control your emotions in terms of winnings and losing as well.
So when one is too excited probably because of his winnings, he'll definitely want to stake more money in other to win more and at the end might not just lose the same amount he earlier had in his winnings but also lose from his personal income. Sometimes these income might be basic income that's needed by the person for very important personal needs which will be lost to gambling.

I used to experience this and I've reduced it and I've started to play for the pleasure of taking bets. I felt the need to limit myself because it had negative effects at the time. I think you should do this so that it won't be a problem for you in the future. I don't get excited when I see that I've won like I used to. I don't get excited if I win or lose because I still play small amounts occasionally for boredom. When you win a lot of money, you need to realize your money. It's not yours unless you withdraw it.

What can never be forgotten are the big wins we have had in gambling, which will continue to haunt our minds. And not infrequently, when someone gets a big win, that victory continues to haunt him, giving rise to the hope of being able to get an even bigger win than he previously got. In the end, the person behaves carelessly by placing bets like crazy and continuing to increase the bet, so that in the end the profits from previous winnings run out again in gambling and often his pockets are also drained because he continues to chase that big win. So it is true that we must be able to control our excitement over the victory we get.

Each are different. Some prefers low risks while some wants the higher one and the OP is among with it. Normalizing the frequency can be done by controlling our betting size or sessions. The OP might look addicted but I can feel that he still knows how to do it or to stop once he think is already going too much.

We can also stop once there is nothing left on our bankroll anymore, or on our main wallets. Usually after this, we can realize that gambling is bad and we need to stop this before it affects more in the future. When it comes to urges, indeed that it can occur anytime for an addicted gambler. For me, my urge can come after some time of stopping gambling.

It is difficult to control emotions in all situations, whether we win or lose, but we must learn to control ourselves because that is the only thing we can do. We don't want to lose self-control when emotions peak, so we have to be able to learn it. Yes, it will require greater effort, but it is worth it for us to do because it is something that can prevent us from gambling excessively. And we can also start learning this by always limiting our gambling budget so we don't use money excessively. This is to avoid losing a lot and prevent us from forgetting ourselves when playing gambling.

It's good if you can feel that you have experienced this and decide to gamble less. It requires awareness from ourselves to start reducing it, especially if we need more money to use for other things. And yes, we should gamble just for fun so there is no feeling of wanting to win more, especially if we have already won. When you can win a lot of money, it is better for you to immediately stop and withdraw the money before you change your mind about using the money to gamble again.

I have a question from you, what do you say to yourself in those  moments to convince yourself to "go-harder" even when you are in the losing streak?

You are a person that would love adventure. A person that can go bungee jumping. On a second thought, you have a lot of money that you can afford to lose.


Well, I am not like you. Anything intense, I run far away. I have yet to build up the courage for this heart rendering experience.

You can’t blame here since reading the OP without having same experience on it will surely looks like the is just doing a risky bet but reading the whole thread while you have a deep gambling knowledge will help you easily understand what OP really doing here.

You’re right, we have different preferences on how we gamble since not all users want to play slowly using small amount as you we can witness on the casino history about different betting amount on different game. Most important is how we enjoy ga,bling since there’s no guarantee that you will get consistent profit by doing slow type bets.it’s still based on luck.

It is not a problem if you can stop the game when you have gone all-in and immediately exit the gambling platform. However, the danger is when you go all-in and the results are not satisfactory because you lose, so in the end you dig into your pockets again to make a deposit so you can continue the game, which will only lead you to even bigger losses. in gambling.
And in enjoying gambling, someone has their own way of enjoying it. However, if we place bets irregularly and continue to increase the bet without any limits, it is not enjoying gambling but it is carelessness in gambling. When we enjoy gambling, there is no such thing as regret when we lose, and when someone goes all-in, it is not uncommon for them to immediately regret it when they lose.

The gambler should have the mind set of pausing the gambling at any moment.So he should capable of doing the control of the gambling play,it will help the gambler to get away from the big loss some times.The continuous gambling will be the cause of big loss to the gamblers,So make some pause and resume in the gambling to manage your emotion and addiction to the gambling game.When your holding for the month on gambling was over don’t get loan loan for the gambling.

People's pleasures are different, there are people in gambling who want to make a profit, there are people who just want to be satisfied with playing here, I think it doesn't matter as long as you get pleasure from it, but just remember don't spend too much money in gambling especially if it harms the family we alone.

I make a bet of a specific amount every play gambling like around 5-10 USD because I just have a limited amount of funds and those are consistent if I don't win in those rolls until i reach around 30-50% I make a ritual of reloading the game to remove the luck, or change the game for a while like seeking another game besides on that game im using so the bad luck goes there or in the other game if i win on that game I tried to get back again to the early game i played to try again. Id rather risk with the slot games in that percentage because i choose the Table top games its just a 1:1 make wage, double your money and that's all unlike slot make wage possible lose or win a large amount due to multiplier.

Well big wins don't hunt my mind if I understand what you mean. Rather big wins increase the anxiety of gamblers to play more and increase their risk because to want to double their winnings like you are trying to explain too and that is the debacle of it all. As you win and try to win more, their is no guarantee for that and instead of gamblers to keep going steady on the size of bet they played before the winning, they will increase it and lose out faster. This is especially the challenge of newbie gamblers and those old gamblers who are not able to control their emotions.

It's like that, but unfortunately, many people really hope to win from gambling so they spend a lot of money gambling. They don't think about losing a lot from gambling and even if they use more money. When gambling, we have to determine the amount, namely the amount we can afford, so that we don't gamble too much, which will cause us to lose a lot. As long as we can stay within the limits we create, we will not get into trouble from gambling and can even get pleasure from gambling. But we should be able to look for other things that can also be pleasures so that we don't depend on gambling for entertainment.

How can a big win not affect your mind? However, in reality, when someone gets a big win, this really influences their gambling habits after getting that win. Where the person becomes even more addicted to gambling and continues to increase the number of bets and continues to ignore the small wins he gets, and this is none other than because of the big wins he has experienced which makes him greedy for a big win in a gambling game. and maybe this can change his paradigm when playing gambling where he thinks that gambling is a money multiplying machine.

"unless", if you are someone who can really control the gambling activities that you do well. Both when you lose and win

After winning big, you want to win bigger. Its funny, but not fun.

You think you've mastered gaming, are on a roll, and are the king or queen. Then boom! Yachts and private islands are on your mind, but your wallet is screaming.

Remember, we all have that small voice whispering wisdom in our ears. It says, "Take it easy, remember the small wins, cherish them, let them warm your heart and fill your pockets bit by bit." The big wins? That one-time firework is bright and gorgeous but gone in an instant. Keep the minor successes glowing, and your life will shine brightly.

You should be careful, because the feeling you are describing is a characteristic sign of gambling addiction, biggest compulsive gamblers are looking for this feeling actually. Unfortunately, the greater the intensity of the feeling, the higher the risk must be and you can develop a habituation to this behavior on top of that, leading to having to take higher risks to feel the same excitement. At the end, it leads people to gamble their life savings, before their jewels, their car and their home. It's not far away from findom where money slaves are excited to give everything they own to their master.

The biggest negative of the gambling will be the gambling addiction,but by practice of the gambling with some strategy will help you to get away from the gambling addiction.Most of the experienced gambler will follow some steps for the gambling addiction away techniques.Some of them are fix the deposit money to the gambling for a week before he start the gambling.So the gambler control their deposit to the gambling.This help the gambler to play the gambling in the control way.Taking the gap after some loss also the essential one for the gambler to control the gambling with the time period.

Addiction are sometimes being characterized with our mindset of becoming wealthy through gambling that is why most of us easily get addicted at the cost of trying to win something big. Whenever we gamble with any amount without attaching anything or even chasing lose we can say is easily to be controlled otherwise some people will often want to make a changes by trying to increase their stake amount or wager. Gambling is good when you don't take it as a means of livelihood maybe putting much attention to it for your success.

Trying to jump with other game types is never been my forte because if i do decide to play a certain gambling game on a particular gambling bankroll then i do really stick into it until the very end on which means that
jumping from Blackjack to dice isnt something that i would really do but since each person does have their own ways on enjoying or entertaining themselves then it would really be that depending on a certain individual.
Its true that gambling should really be played for fun and thrill on which it would really be just that normal that you would neither be playing different types or playing on a single one which would really be just that according into your mood since not all would really be that having on the same interest on the game that they do play.

Betting significant amount then its not something that i would do because being that impulsive is never be giving out anything something good for me but rather i would really be playing a single
game entire balance and wont really be jumping anytime soon. Im not anticipating for some breakeven when im already on that depleting balance. I would make most out of it on the
game type i've been sticking all the time until the very end.

I gamble purely for entertainment, therefore I do not bet large amounts of money. I think that would be a waste, as with gambling, you will definitely lose in the long term. And I do not belong to the group of "once-in-a-lifetime winning bet" dreamers who would bet their entire paycheck for a chance at winning a large amount of money. Sure it is possible, just not probable. I do not feel as though I need to either win rich or not have money at all.

And when you play with small amounts of money, you feel way less sad and anxious. Even if you lose.

Op is not saying that he is going to risk all his salary to win big, he was saying that he preferred to go all in while playing blackjack especially when his bankroll value hits 30% of what he had and it's pretty common if you are a poker player. It reflects that I am going to win this or will get back to my normal life instead of keep dragging this all day long which maybe stressful.

What you said is also right, bet less money that is affordable for you to lose then you won't be worrying even if you lose it completely if you are aware of all the possible outcomes when you made the decision of betting.

Even if a person is engage in gambling to win, he should always use the fund that is not committed to anything.  Gambling with fund that is free or excess won't hurt our financial expenses and may not pressure us to chase losses if somehow luck is not in our side. Aside from that, we will fully enjoy our gambling activity because there is no worry packaged in our bankroll fund.  Significant or little amount, it does not matter as long as the amount used is the money the player can afford to lose.

A must thing but only few people do really be able to get in line with this kind of behavior on which they would rather be making use of the amount which are really that intended for other important things like savings or emergency funds on which it is really just that too crazy for someone to make out such step for them to make use of those money which are really that being used on other things but rather they do really make use of it with their gambling sessions or simply into their leisure times on which it is really just that like on shooting up a gun into their head and this is really that something a very risky thing to be done because you arent really that risking your money but also you are really that risking your family which we know that on the time comes that you wont really be having any money on your pocket then it would really be that hard for you to raise up you family on which it could possibly be coming into a point that you would really be getting divorced by your wife.

Dont come into a point on which you would really be that having that kind of struggle just because you had made out such bad decision and this is something that must be avoided if you dont really
like for your life to be messed up. There are really just that people who arent really that on their right minds on doing such decisions which arent supposed to be done in the first place.
Dont make your life to be miserable just because you had made out such bad decisions in life.

No one should do that, it doesn't make any sense to place large bets unless you can afford to lose a lot of money and you don't care if you keep losing because you are ultra-rich which isn't the case with everyone.

People who do that are basically not normal, they don't think practically because a person with practical thinking abilities wouldn't take that risk if they knew that if they lost the bet, they would be left with no money at all and they might have other things to do with that money, so it is basically not wise even if there is a chance of you winning double of that amount but that is just a chance, not a guarantee.

Exactly, just keep betting with smaller amounts, even if you lose some, you won't have a lot of burden and guilt on your mind later on.
