As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding  a game  to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.


These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.

I'm pretty sure all gamblers have experienced this at one point, but as for me, I have experienced this a lot and still do, it is annoying and you only have yourself to blame for it. this usually happens(for me at least) when you overthink or when you suddenly feel like changing your bet to a different one would be better than the previous one.

If I am gambling, I do not change what I have planned to go for. I am surprised to see that some people can change the option they want to go for to another. Only what can make me change my decision is what will not let me bet on the game again, like in football if I noticed that the coach of a club bench some good players not to play. If something like this happens, I will not go for the game, of which I thought I will go for before.

OP you won't complain if the later option you choose is the one that work out for you, almost every gamblers do this, when mind isn't completely made up we become unsure about our decisions and we do something else, it's normal.

Maybe you should start working on making your mind up before you place bet? But to me its not a alarming problem, it's something everyone does, I did this when I plan to place bet on soccer matches and even when I want to invest in some assets, I can have a plan right now and when money comes I will change my plan.

This have saved me before, I picked some crypto projects to invest in when I get some spare money and when the money comes it felt like I choose the wrong projects in the first place, I did another research again and made some adjustments.

There is always the thought to do this and if we are being honest with ourselves, it must have come to us as a thought often times more than once and for some we may have fallen for it and lost or won. It is good to do your analysis well and come to a conclusion on which team to place your bet on or not. This happens to beginners and intermediate bettors in my opinion. The more experienced you get in sports betting the less occurrence of this you will have.

Sometimes you will be wondering if there is any spirit monitoring you and pushing you to do certain things or take certain decisions. I can truly understand because you are not the only one that experienced that. I don't know if the entire gambling business have a spirit they release to make one do something that will spoil the bet  :D

It took me some time to understand that these are just normal things without any spiritual connotations.  It just confirms that luck is active as far as gambling is concerned. Some people will feel the urge to adjust or remove a certain game and it will happen that the game the remove or changed was what made them to win. So it is two way thing.

That can be a bad habit for a gambler—not sticking to the initial decision—because it may affect your bet or you could end up with a bad result. But it's understandable. Maybe because you really want to win and are afraid of losing your bet, you are experiencing anxiety where your mind can't focus and you are overthinking, which ends up not sticking to the initial decision or bet. It's very common for a gambler to have a weak mindset or heart because he can easily change his decision based on his emotions and overthinking.

But sometimes changing decisions at the last minute can be good, but if your first decision or bet is sure and you have the basis that you have higher chances of winning, then overcome your overthinking and stick to your plan. The only valid reason is if you are unsure of the game or what the result will be.

If I get it correctly, the OP is talking about sport betting. In sport betting, you can analyse the two teams that want to play, for you to know what the result of the match could be before the match starts. Your analyses should be what should make you select a match. And if you change your decision, it is not bad if you see latest information that do not favour your analyses for the match. But change of decision should be as a result of your recent analysis like fundamental analysis. But if someone is using a guess work to bet, that is not good in sport gambling at all not to talk of changing plan.

To err and to change decisions is just humans much more if you're doing this in a casino, I have a lot of bad and good experiences changing my first bet but unfortunately, the number of losses is much more than winning, I experienced this offline and online casinos.

I experienced this when I was betting on horse racing because there were so many tipsters in the betting station and everyone offered a different perspective and good analysis that is why I kept changing my bets sometimes it turned out good but most of the time bad.

I carry this in my online gambling, it is hard to keep up and just settle on your decision there are so many things rushing in your mind especially if the stake is huge, this is one of the gambling dilemmas that gamblers face and that's what makes gambling exciting and the casino that you want to get back over and over again.

It's clear

You don't know how to do ~xd you are getting distracted and don't know what you are to do even you are doing some basic research or research in some team. IMO, (Sportbet) are the good sector we can have higher chance.

But, If we don't know anything we getting screw. Most people always got these shit.

in gambling it will be difficult to control and follow the plan that we have planned. because when we are already at the gambling table, we will always be carried away by lust, both when we lose and win, we can be carried away and follow the lust that is actually not in accordance with the plan that we want to carry out.

This is natural it is a battle between analysis and your hunches I have a lot of ups and downs changing my first bet, but this is gambling when money is at stake and huge money is involved and you will hate to lose that bet, there's always thoughts of changing your bet even if you did your analysis or you are following patterns.
I remember winning huge because at the last minute for some unknown reason, I changed my bet quickly resulting in a huge win, that was thrilling and so exciting, that is why most of the time I prefer manual betting to auto bet, there's a lot of excitement on manual betting.

It i also possible that changing your option might give you a win and I am sure that you would never have complained. Changing games is a constant happening in my gambling adventure. I am sometimes persuaded to change my games if I look at the games of some experienced bettors. It is easy to feel that these experienced gamblers have more insight or knowledge so I will want to copy their games. Sometimes it will turn out fine while in other cases, I might lose the game, that's gambling for you. 

Gambling is a game of risk, changing your game is part of the risk. So bettors should be willing to take responsibility for their actions and don't complain.

This won't stop your loss when you are gambling, to me doesn't make yo win or lose either, if you have lucky present with you on that day, the changes you make can bring you luck, there is no further discussion on this matter, just keep using what you can afford to lose.

Making decisions when gambling is not always easy and after you can still lose your money or win, do not let this bother you an inch, keep risking small money when gambling, the lower the amount the best, even if you have change your decision and you still lose, it won't be as big as losing a large sum of money.

Also using a small amount of money can push you into making the right decisions, when you are risking too less, there won't be very much to have doubt about, after all it's just a small amount, if you lose it you will feel alright.

I'm sure it's not completely because you still feel doubtful about the initial option. If you feel completely sure, you definitely won't add to the initial option or change your option when you are in a gambling center, I never do that in physical gambling because in my country Gambling is illegal so I can still play online gambling and sometimes it's like what you feel when I have planned a strategy in a game but change my mind and change the strategy and end up losing the game.

The point is that you have to be confident in the options we have taken from the start because it could give us victory at the beginning and maybe not until the end, any victory depends on how well we control it, sometimes when it has been determined we are actually less satisfied with the results later. continuing the game because you are greedy to win bigger and add to the initial options and change them for bigger profits but in the end it becomes a fatal mistake that should not be made. Confidence is actually very important before doubt really changes it randomly.  ;)

I guess most of us experience this kind of regret, actually, sometimes we have already settled with the bet but because of the information we have heard and gotten from different people that's the time we doubt our, which causes more confusion about where the ideal bet or it's just a trap, for me ideally its better to follow your guts so you wont regret too much, weigh in which is more ideally safe and profitable, not as always those wonders makes a good profit sometimes lead to mistakes.

In my opinion, this is normal because everything can change in gambling. In my opinion, even a gambler who initially has a target can change when he is already gambling, where before gambling he has his own target and when he has achieved the target he planned, His motives could have changed, he could have continued gambling because he thought the gambling he was doing was good so he didn't take the winnings but continued gambling.

In my opinion, this is normal if it happens because basically gambling can actually make someone change their mind if they have gambled. and I think this is also experienced by many gamblers. It would be very hypocritical if anyone didn't admit this. and like this it will definitely end in disappointment, so it is yourself who is to blame, not other people, because basically gambling is done based on one's own desires, including changes in one's gambling motives, also because of oneself, not because of other people.

That is one of the reasons why we should be more selective about what our initial plan is, or we should follow our instincts because there is a big chance that we will regret when we lose. That's where the big regret comes in and then when you question and blame yourself. We need to be consistent in the actions we do and if you have changes you want to make, just start with a slow process before you go full force, so that you are not too affected when something like the defeat you encountered happens.

Most parlay makers have the same dilemma.  :D

Imagine if you have already numbers and statistics set in your mind and then you see one that you think could add to your profits and that will be the biggest mistake in your bet. I mean, that only leg that you added lost, so everything is gone. After that will all be regrets.
I've been in that situation many times because of my greed. Well, it's normal to want a higher profit but sometimes that greed will turn everything south which is sometimes unacceptable.
There are instances also in the same game parlay where for example I should only pick over 10 points for a player but because of my gree I will make it over 12 to increase the multiplier. One of the biggest mistakes because the player only got 11 points.
But all is well, because of those mistakes I learned my lesson. Now I am winning more because I can sometimes control my greed and I won't go as far as what my instincts are telling me. Lesser profit but a higher chance to win the bet. I am good with that rather than taking home zero. There are different ways to be on this bad position because of our mind changing but I would not say it's always losing, sometimes we did good at changing the bet.

This is a usual thing that happens to gambler. The most annoying for me is the adding of new game and not the changing of option. If I change option I still see it as part of the game that I wanted to play early but only that I was not able to pick the correct option for it. So if I introduce a totally new game to the multiple and it becomes what caused the lose, it is the most annoying.

What to do to have a solution is the decision not to add new game or change the option when you get at the betting stand. And also, to avoid discussion of the game you want to bet by friends or other bettors that you will find there.because most times it is at the brink of betting that we change the games that will become the losing game. Decision is important to bet and not to change always but to stand with your game.

I have never changed the options I want to play because when I want to gamble, I have already decided what gambling game I want to play and I will immediately choose the casino. After that, I would immediately play the gambling game so I never thought about changing the options. Maybe you don't need to change options or add games to the initial options, but it could be that what you experience is just a coincidence. You don't need to think about it too seriously because we are in the world of gambling, where anything can happen. And you also have to remember that losing at gambling is certain because we can't always win but only experience defeat.

If we were completely focused on what we are supposed to do then we might be financially stable that shows we are tend to be distracted when someone is doing it. But as a gambler if you don't have control on your losing and keep losing money that you have for other needs then it falls into different category that will come under addiction.

If you feel distracted by something then try to stay away from it as much as possible which is a temporary solution and may give enough time to think about what you actual have to do.

I think it's normal. If you don't do this, then you are gambling like a robot and will not enjoy your gambling. Even though sometimes things like that are annoying, sometimes we also win because we change bets. So no need to regret it and enjoy your gambling, budd  ;)

I once changed a team that I was initially sure would win, I changed my bet because of the big difference in odds and it turned out that my choice was right and I won the bet.

Believe me, most of the times your first decision is better than your second decision, so when you feel you need to change your decision, don't listen with that. It happens in my life, not only about gambling, I tried to change my decisions, when it's not work like what I expect, I regret with that I did.

Even though you think your second decision looks more interesting, but it's better to stick with your first decision.

In the world of gambling there is always something called regret that will occur within us after making a choice, because in my opinion gambling requires very strong instincts to be able to win the bets we make. If we stick to a plan or follow other people in choosing, there will definitely be a big risk of losing the money we have when betting. So in my opinion, if you want to bet, you should follow your heart in choosing and never follow other people's words, because if you lose the bet according to your choice, you will never regret it. However, if you lose a bet because you followed someone else's choice or someone else's words, there will definitely be feelings of annoyance and regret within you.

Yea, of course I have experienced such situation, and it do happen when you don't have confidence on your prediction. Maybe along the line, when you get to the bet shop, someone might tell you that you should change your bet or add a game to it, which might finally led to the lost of that bet.

This has made me never to listen to anyone, until I have placed my bet on the game. Sometimes because we think that we need to win the game, it makes us want to change the bet thinking that the new change will be beneficial to us but rather it will lead us to lose the game. This is why one should only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, so that you see gambling as fun, and just bet on whatever predictions that you had already come up with

What I always do when I am in such situation, I place my bet twice one on the first one I brought from home, and the second bet will be that with the little changes. It is easy for me to do it, because I bet with little money that wouldn't make me feel bad when I lose both games.

In a betting house, this is what gamblers see. Given how heavily some of the matchups they already want to bet on have been highlighted. They might think, for example, that these teams will defeat this team, but as they get to the gambling house, they start to hear about how the team they are betting on to win would lose because of how they have performed in their previous matches.

This is the reason a gambler should avoid spending a lot of time in a gambling house because, if they do, they will likely alter their bets based on what others gamblers will say about the games they have already chosen to bet on.

This kind of scenario is often done by sports betting bettors, this includes me, I have also done the same thing, adding a bet to the initial option, this is done where we are sure that the initial bet we placed is certain to win, but that's called gambling, at the last minute it can turn around 100%, it could be that the bet we placed loses and disappears.

If we think, gamble normally and control yourself, don't be ambitious, just be guided by the initial bet, changing options doesn't necessarily mean we can win, it could be an unlucky day for us.

I also had this problem many times while I was betting through lotto clubs many year ago.I only learned a simply lesson from this,which is to never change your mind no matter what whispers come to your mind you should always stick loyal to your first decision as that is what usually will not make you have any regrets no matter the outcome because you didn't change anything.I think everyone should do that,to not have any regrets later.

I don't like changing my plans or the initial betting amount or anything that I might have thought to do already, however, I don't think that doing anything will affect the outcome of my bets because, at the end of the day, the outcome of the bets depend on my luck and not the changes that I make.

People need to understand that all these are sorts of superstitions and there is no actual reality in any of these things your change of plans or strategies wouldn't affect your results and your results are only influenced by your luck and nothing else.

I also don't believe that you lose or win based on changing the game you are playing, I know that some people think this way but it's not true and your luck doesn't change if you change the game you are playing, you will still win or lose based on your luck at that particular moment.

I think lack of confidence at times is the main factor responsible for the occurrence of this which you stated in the topic, when you lack the confidence in your pick, you definitely would be indecisive about what pick to make and will be having such experience as stated in the topic but if you have the confidence them you will be stable about your opinion.

Making your picks before gambling, it's important you try to make propee analysis and be very definite about your picks, I was at some point suffering same thing because I was not sure of my picks at some point in time, this usual happens after I've made my analysis some times I get deceived by the odds given to these teams by the bookies so I will after making my picks feel that the probability is small and thats why the bookies gave probably a smaller or bigger odds to my picks so to be safe I will then change it but then if I'm confident enough in my picks I will definitely not fall such victim

When I read your story OP, it made me feel like you don't know how to stick to your decisions. Imagine this: You analyzed the statistics on assuming multiple games, then from that statistic, you made a calculated decision and then just left it all behind and changed the bet. End up regretting the decision that you have made. Is that right OP? I do hope you stick to your decision because you could've had a higher percentage from it.

This happened to me when I was just gambling randomly, no studies done, and just went with my gut. After that I have changed my bet and just because I felt it. After losing, I just stick to what I felt and just pushed through. But that's just sometimes, not all the time. I do calculated decisions because it's more analytical and I like it like that.

Well, one thing I've learned from gambling is to either stick with your game or to not play at all or just take a break from gambling for that day. If I would be moving to casino games, it would be boring unlike with sportsbetting which I enjoy the most. I do get the idea of taking the risk but if I won't enjoy it as the usual, then gambling experience won't be the same. Either game you play, there will always be a risk involved so my edge is to choose what game will I enjoy doing so if I lose then I won't be too frustrated and full of regrets.

With changing of mind when betting, things are just normal. After all, we are all just guessing the outcome no matter how you analyze the game. You won't have the assurance of winning. Eitherway, you'd have a tendency to lose. It is okay to hesitate sometimes but once bets are placed, just watch how will it go since it would be a waste of time thinking of 'what ifs'.

When I read your story OP, it made me feel like you don't know how to stick to your decisions.

Changing decision in gambling can be triggered by factors in the game not that i don't stick to my decision. At times odds do change and if you are into sports gambling at times key players on a team might get injured or I'll etc prior to the game these can lead to you changing your decision and there are other factors.

Be flexible, but not flighty. Have a plan, sure, but be ready to adjust it if the situation throws you a wild card. Think of it like a choose-your-own-adventure book – you have a starting point, but the path you take depends on the choices you make along the way.

Remember, gambling is all about making informed decisions, not just sticking to some rigid plan. So, listen to your gut, analyze the situation, and don't be afraid to adapt. Just don't let the excitement cloud your judgment and turn you into a pinball yourself!

Ultimately, the best way to navigate the changing tides of a casino is to find a balance between strategy and adaptability. Stay cool, stay sharp, and remember, sometimes the best decisions are the ones you make on the fly.

This is a very terrible experience to all the gamblers including me because I have had the experience countless times and it has stopped me from winning my bet most times. Some times I wonder if it's a spiritual thing because I will make my selections but when it's time to stake the game I will always add another game which to me is a sure banker as I fondly call it and at the end of the day, that particular game will be the one to spoil the game this experience is mostly found in football (soccer predictions)

This is the best way to overcome that experience you can give it a try if you want to, before adding another game to the one you want to bet on, first of all stake the original selection then edith the games by adding another game of your choice.

and because of this, it is important for you to be disciplined and remain firm in your stance. because often gamblers are in an indecisive position where their minds are distracted by something and that makes them change their options to something they shouldn't choose, and this leads to losses.

just stick to your choice, don't hesitate to choose the option you have previously determined, and keep your emotions stable, and make sure that you make rational decisions based on your logic, not based on the words of your mind.

Because you are letting your innate greediness take over you once placing bet. Probably you are looking forward for more odds to make your potential payout bigger whenever you are browsing match to bet with. I’m always on this situation before whenever I’m betting on a match that has a very low odds. I usually add a couple more legs to make the odds high and it always ended up like what you mention.

I stop betting on sports often because of this behavior of mine and just place a bet whenever I have a sports that I’m looking forward to watch. I'm spending most of my gambling time on live games because I knew that my style suits on this kind of games rather than sports betting that makes me greedy to win higher odds.

Sometimes we are still unstable in making a betting decision, simply because there are several indicators that make us quite doubtful about that decision. and in the end we change the decision, which in the end we regret it. Doubt has brought us back to defeat.

However, even so, it is important for us to be able to accept every final result of a bet, regardless of winning or losing. Because if we are unable to accept this, it tends to lead us to an endless bet to continue chasing a loss. These losses can arise because of uncontrolled emotions that push us to impulsive behavior which can make us make the wrong betting decision, or in other words, we make an irrational betting decision. Continuous defeat can make us a little angry and make our emotions uncontrollable. Therefore, I remind you again that we must be able to accept the final result of a bet, whether we win or lose.

The gambler who play the gambling with random betting will do loss of funds gradually.Losing funds can be recovered,but the gamblers hope will be slowly reduced on losing the funds.The losing hope will make the gamblers to take huge risk to get the luck in the gambling.The risk was that taken by the gamblers to get huge profits from some important predictions.

The gamblers should start to play the gambling without worry about the results,every small losses should not affect the confidence level of the gamblers.The small winning should boost the gamblers confidence in the gambling site.The confidence alone make the gambler to survive in the toughest gambling site.

Sports betting involves meticulous analysis and a wealth of knowledge about the club, the team and their opponents. Your confidence and certainty grows with these and you will have no fear that you have made the right bet if you do. There are exception to these though as we are humans and can sometimes make these bet decisions in a hurry, on emotions, and just hastily. In this scenario, changing your bets decision is fine. However, you must watch it that is is not guessing or based on abracadabra.

i agree on this point, because if there is a valid reason why you are changing your bet, then by all means, change it. because you won't change the bet if you think you are on the winning side. it is just that not all of our choices are right.
at some point, we are all guilty of this feeling because as we watch the game, something is telling us that our initial bets may not be the right ones, so we changed. so long it is your decision, it is all on you.


definitely, there are factors in play here why he is changing his decision at the middle of the game. as it is his decision, then no one is to blame about his losing bets. as he is aware of the results of this decision, might as well think of his reasonings why he did such act? because if it is more on impulse without thinking about it, then maybe he is just being too emotional with his choices and not thinking logically.

Lol... that is what it means to go into a game like gambling. Gambling is a game of prediction and speculation, and that is one fear that you cannot run away from because it will keep haunting you to make another choice. But the best gamblers, I think, are those who believe in their instincts.

If you believe that this is what your instinct tells you, go by it and stand by it 100%. It may not be the right answer, but you have no reason to regret later if it turns out to be correct.

So, I think that one aspect of gambling that people cannot run away from, rather than money, is being able to manage your instincts. Are you able to believe in your instincts and stand by them at the particular point in time?

You are adding games to already selected games you have chosen for something that will not be significant to your bet, the highest number that bet can add to your bet will not be more than 2 odds and is it worth it for let's say a selection of 50 odds you have done? It's better to he contented sometimes and also not to listen to people in bets shops, they will only confuse you even more and when you lose, they will not even console you, some are there to even give you bad opinion about your games.

As for me, I don't do physical shops but I do have that habit of adding more options when I see some punters game on X but I have stopped that habit. I do feel because they win more than me, I feel it's okay to add there games to mine but I later realized that they lose more than I even imagine. I stay on my lane and stake on my idea, if I win I celebrate and if I lose, I improve on where I made mistakes.

This condition is one that often arises among bettors who are faced with the task of making decisions based on the probability of a certain outcome. This phenomenon is described as "post-bet regret," where an individual may feel reluctant or even wish to alter their decision once it has been made. Factors that may contribute to this kind of bias include uncertainty, doubt, or the impact of external forces like emotional impulses or social pressure. Altering betting options or introducing new games at the end of an initial analysis can interfere with the flow of thoughts and muddle previously intended decisions.

And an important quality to possess as a gambler is self-discipline and sticking to decisions made through careful analysis. Any changes made haphazardly or without good reason can only increase the probability of you losing your bet.

I have a rule that I have followed whenever and wherever I make a bet I do not cancel that bet, even when the team I placed a bet on is losing I still don't have thoughts of canceling my bet, but it wasn't always like that, It took me a long time to be strong and determined to place bets and not cancel. A long time ago I chose the games I analyzed and then I placed a bet, but as I didn't see the starting 11 I was left undecided whether I made the right choice or not. Then they announced the 11 initial players and I realized that the best players were not on the field playing, so my panic took over me and I canceled my bet, but in this process there was another big problem.

which was that, for example, when I bet 10$ and went to cashout, I only managed to get 4$ and that depended, when closer to the game or during the game I cashed out the value became less, the excess happened in the case of the team in which I bet was winning, so in this scenario the cashout was bigger. but by cashing out I was reducing my bankroll even though I wasn't losing, this started to make me wonder how I could solve this problem. until I started testing myself that when it was simple bets I would only bet when I saw the announcement of the 11 initial players, that way I no longer needed to make a cashout

When they were multibet bets, I just put in a very small amount of money and with that I didn't even need to make a cashout because even if I lost a bet it wouldn't affect me, and I've done it like this until today, when I put money in a bet, I don't cancel it, I don't I'm thinking about canceling the bet. There are times when I even forget that I placed a bet, I only remember it the next day, and this happens to me even though I follow the results of the games every day.

I also behave like that, when in planning and analysis I have obtained data and which ones I should bet on, but when executing I am often tempted by other things and add several more bets outside of the analysis and what I planned beforehand, as a result I often experience defeat 🤦‍

The temptation of bigger odds sometimes gives bad results, we hope to get a big jackpot but the result is the opposite, defeat and defeat is what we get.

I sometimes face the same issue. That's why I stick to my initial strategy to avoid losses. It's important to control yourself and avoid adding any games to your betting plan as soon as you arrive. Doing so will greatly alter your strategy and increase the risk of losing your money.

have you ever thought about the opposite, likewise "I didn't change that bet and I won"?
there are some events to which we give greater importance than others...
there is nothing "magical" about it, we simply pay more attention.
Think of all the times you won a bet without changing option ;)

For sure all gamblers had been able to experience out this kind of scenario or moment on which you had already made out some good and in depth analysis and checking with the bets that you are tending to
make but ended up on having some additionals or with those last minute changes due to some intuition or voices out into our minds and have those gut feeling would really be telling that we must be
changing up those bets on point or having those kind of tweak.In the end then it did really result into loses on which it would really be leaving out that kind of extreme regret and you would really be having
that kind of learning basing up on what you have done. Thing here on OP that on the time that you do find out that it do generates tons of loses on your part. Then why would really be continuing on doing that?

In my case, if ever there's a particular strategy that it doesnt work then i do skip into other one.I would really be tending to find those methods on which
at least have some progress or something giving out some advantage or profit, no matter how small those differences are on which i could still consider it out
on instant switch up.

Before never having gone to a physical gambling center will still be the way you want almost the same I experienced in online casinos with the initial game plan just to play slots and sports betting but the thought changed, sports betting was put aside and chose other bets with increased again as a result to lose, I always think why the initial plan has changed like this.

It's because you're not satisfied maybe you try another game better but the fact remains that it doesn't change you lose money, but I again think that in gambling don't take it seriously because it's just enough for fun even though there is a little upset at the end.

The same thing happens when you are investing in assets too. You come up with the perfect plan, start following it but in the middle of the action, you suddenly come up with more ideas. That's good and bad at the same time because:

1- It means your original plan wasn't perfect (bad)
2- You are improving (good)

Sometimes though, your initial plan is actually good and you simply go stupid when you add new ideas. It happens to many students when they are taking an exam. She/he ticks the correct answer right away but when he thinks a bit more, he raises some suspicions and changes his answer... Then he picks the wrong answer...

I guess it is all about your current mind state. If the mind goes rusty, you can fuck up any situation you are in.

It's simply greed why will you book games with the best options you thought will be better for you getting to casino hall or gambling shop you felts so discouraged to either changed the options and increased your selected matches. Meaning you weren't satisfied with the previous options you selected, so going further to touch will always results you losing them entirely therefore the next thing is to regret why you change those option. If i were you what I would do is to have them selected in two option on a separate bets; that is to say when you play the options you selected you could booked same game with different option which your instinct has been telling you on maybe if the first game doesn't play then the second game will pay out correctly.

You're a superstitious gambler, OP. You say that changing the bet made you lose, but you did not know the outcome of the game beforehand, so you acted on your gut and you were wrong. Try not changing anything and see how you do. I bet that you still won't be above your average win rate in a 100 games. If you win 40% of your bets now when you change your bets you may slightly improve if you stop, but you can also fall to 35% because it's not some hind of jinx to change the bet, it's just the way you explain the situation to yourself.

Then don't do it anymore if it's costing you a lot.

It's normal to change your bets, options or even the amounts for placing our bets. But if that doesn't work for you and if you think that you've got some ritual things to do, you better don't change often.

Only gamble when you're set with your mind and the amount that you won't regret to lose. That's the key there for us to gamble without any regret and without having a bad feeling.

Because if you do so, you'll have a problem in the long run as you gamble and that can even give you some fearsome memories.

This is always my ordeal and I have said countless times that I will not alter my bet but I am still doing that to date. This has accounted for 60% of my loss so far. Recently, I predicted games, booked the games, and then took a screenshot of the game to play the game later. When it was time to play the game, I altered the games because all the games became a threat to me and I selected options that seemed safer and then lost the game only to regret it later.

You didn't explain what caused you to change your options when you arrived at the gambling table. If the decision is just a feeling factor, it means you are not sure enough about the analysis you made previously. And that's normal for some people. I assume you changed your mind when there were a lot of distractions at the land-based gambling place. It might be a different story if you use an online platform, it can minimize distractions that could result in you not being confident in your decision at the start.

There's inarguably a huge impact from the described case -- so huge that it'd determine your failures at about 69% of the times you wager bruh!! Why would anyone behave that way?  What's so special about including games without proper analysis? - maybe cus you saw it somewhere?? Why don't you wager separately as a single odd.. isn't that even more safe?

If you have a certain target then don't change it for me sticking to the task in hand always works, for sure if you have many thoughts in mind that sometimes destroy your focus and change the mood, this will initially instead of winning a certain area in gambling will sometimes can end up in not winning, because constantly changing a task at hand can change the outcome of the game, instead of focusing on one task you will do some multi-tasking eventually this could not help in some ways as the focus will be split into two.

As a general piece of advice, it's crucial to stick to a predetermined strategy and avoid making last-minute changes based on emotions or fleeting instincts. The thorough analysis and statistics you mentioned should serve as a foundation for your decision-making, helping to minimize impulsive actions, and for sure self-control is needed in this kind of situation you will never really know when you could win but for sure sticking to one or less is good enough.

It's not uncommon for individuals to encounter similar challenges in the realm of gambling. Learning from past experiences and developing a disciplined approach may contribute to a more successful and enjoyable gambling experience in the long run.

Happened to me tonight. Picked Udinese to go, put 10000 XFUN, and changed my mind in the last minute, out of fear there was no chance they'd pull something like that off, especially since Juventus really needs to win to stay in contention for the title. Unfortunately, guess I was right the first time lol, and fuckers managed to lose. Second guessing yourself is never good, and when you decide something, usually it was the right way to go from the very start

But I think that even though these mistakes are quite fatal, they are all normal things and in fact they happen quite often and are experienced by most gamblers, we will definitely often encounter them or even unconsciously do the same thing.
This is gambling which is full of all the games or types of bets which are very interesting and there will always be sense of curiosity and desire to try and get sensation from other games.
We will find satisfaction when we win in games we have never tried.
Gamblers will never be able to get satisfaction with what they have planned and every gambler will be much more fond of new things in gambling, I myself have even done this several times.
When new players appear, it is game that should be tried because it can provide new experiences and also new fun in every game that has never been tried.
My only suggestion is that when doing something like this, use as little money as possible in order to avoid excessive losses.

Don't you worry OP because you are not alone. 😅 That is why we need to have this trial and error thing just to find something that will possibly work on us especially in physical gambling activities. This is part of our discipline in gambling though we are not aware of the results but still many of us regret changing decisions. Well yeah, that is how gambling works need to accept that fact so better luck next time.

Although this happened to me several times already, I mean changing bets, I cannot recall of an instance in sports betting that this took place. In sports betting, my prediction as to who or which team wins is usually based on familiarity. So it doesn't easily change all of a sudden. There might have been changes but they are usually bets on Asian total or handicaps instead of outright winners. Asian total or handicap bets can easily change in an instant, but not as to the winning team.

Sometimes I feel the same way when gambling. Sometimes I have doubts about my initial bet or have a lack of confidence in my choice, so I end up making impulsive decisions where I change or add options to my bets, which leads the results to losses. I think it would be better to focus, trust instincts, and stick with analysis and strategy

But we should not try it seriously because after all, gambling is just for fun in your spare time. If we want to try it out, we have to do it in our spare time and not spend a lot of money and take a long time because that will trigger our curiosity to increase. If our curiosity has increased, we will only desire to try something else, which means we have to use more money and there is still no guarantee that we can win because this is gambling. That's why we have to restrain ourselves as best as possible when gambling so that we don't experience more losses and we have to accept the reality that we receive. Never have too high expectations from gambling because if we lose a lot of money, it will only make us regret it.

Oh well, everyone has a plan in gambling, but I'm not surprised if you let's say change it during the actual game itself. Gamblers do this often times, of course, if we see that the odds has somewhat shifted, then we should look for where we will get values for our money. But it's not a guarantee, everything in gambling is a risk, so with or without changing, if we are bound to be unlucky, then there's nothing we can do.

If it had cost you losing bet many times then maybe it's a wrong strategy for you? Maybe you can bet on pre-game or if you are in a physical casinos then perhaps when you go there, just stay calm and relax and just observed around you first before playing. At least get a feel of the environment and use your instinct as to what games you feel that you are going to be lucky.

It is definitely a sad feeling and I agree that it doesn't really make it any better, it feels like you should almost always go with the first option, that would make things a lot better for you and the result will be more right than wrong. I get that people could lose bets, that's normal and you can't expect to win it always, but when you change your decision, 50%+ of the time you lose.

The first one into your mind must have a proper reason that you would make some money and that is why I think it should be the most important part. I get that it is going to be hard and you are going to end up with a result that will not be easy, but as long as you are dealing with a good bet, just don't change what you are betting on at all.

Let me assume that you are referring to sports betting because there won't even be time wasted in the casino for all that. Also, I say that I am not a gambler like you, I do not have reasons to change my bet options, and this is because I have them put together even before I open my gambling platform or bet at the gambling house. The fact remains that when you bet on sports, you are doing yourself a big favour if you speculate very well before proceeding to play the bet.

By this, you would have done the needed selection and know the options to choose. This is just like in an exam, if you have a good knowledge of what is before you in an objective question, you will surely choose an option without doubting it. This is my own case here, and I do not have that change even as speculation would have guided me before choosing. But it is possible that I deliberately delete some games myself and I see this as a different scenario, and not changing the options.

Op when gambling, we are open to so many decisions which can be favourable and sometimes not, so if you feels like you are making the wrong decisions anytime you temper with your initial selection then I suggest you discipline yourself to stop doing that and focus more on your initial selection if it works for you.

Secondly, try not to listen to that extra voice in the betting shop or casino were a fellow gambler will be telling you why you should go against that your selection and go the other way around,  please just stick to your instincts and trust your decision making.

Agree into those extra voice in betting shop or casino on which i do really believe that this is one of the most common reason on why people do changed up their bets on the last minute or on the time that they would be making those decisions on which they do have that kind of voice into their head whether it is really just that some personal choice or something that he had been able to hear around.
You would really be only having those kind of regrets on the time that you would be finding yourself that losing your new bet compared into those bets that you have firstly analyze.
It does really  give out that kind of shit feeling i should say on which this is something that you would really be able to adjust later on.

Many players have trouble deciding what to do or keep changing their minds, especially when they feel like they need to make a final decision at the gambling center. It adds risks and destroys the analysis and plan when suddenly changing decisions. Do not make impulsive decisions, have focus and self-control, and take time to think or stick with the plan.

Definitely I usually think that,and I think that might be true because most times you tend to take up a decision and once you arrive at the casino boom everything changes and you will end up loosing the entire game..
And it misg still be that spirit that will urge a gambler to steal,sell properties and borrow just to gamble and at the end you end up loosing everything entirely..

Let's get this straight,this is a reality of life that we need to accept because behind every steps to achieving a goal there's a manipulator and an opposing voice or forces that disrupt it .

until now, I still make this mistake when I have a plan to bet on a game that I have determined, but when accessing gambling, I forget the first option and am tempted to try another game, for example, I want to bet on football, but when I log in to my gambling account, I saw a new game and it made me curious and had to try it.
after I try it depends on whether I'm lucky or not because sometimes even though I prioritize the second game, sometimes luck gives a little win to add to the budget for betting on sports betting but when I'm not lucky maybe I'll just try a few rounds after the game makes me a little bored I will continue betting on sports betting.

and I have read many people who say here that they have indeed experienced the same incident as you did and that it is not a mistake or a determinant of whether we will be lucky or not.

Then you only have one choice to follow from now on, try to stick with your initial supposed bet as possible as you can.

But do you think it will change your winning rate? We can only find the answer if you will do it for real.

Please try to follow your original bets on your future several bets. Update us if there's a big improvement regarding your win rate. :)

I liked your reply, and where you have made quite an important point about the psychology of gambling. Winning in gambling is luck-based, and there is no sure way that a big bet will result in a huge win. On the one hand, high stakes can lead to large wins, but it’s also likely that the losses might be equally large.

One of the main things is to maintain control over your gambling activities, which requires you to have an idea of the chances and pitfalls. For instance, if by some lucky chance you win a bet, it would be best to stop here and not continue playing, falling into a vicious circle with a vain hope of winning more money.

It is crucial to recognize that luck plays a significant role in gambling so as not to fall into the emotional roller coaster ride of spur-of-the-moment decisions fueled by recent triumphs. Sticking to betting even if you are victorious may spell trouble since it can hold onto feelings and the drive to want to recoup lost money, ultimately leading to more losses. And effective regulation and self-control are necessary components of any gambling, as the first ensures that a person doesn’t come out with less than what they brought in, and the second prevents exceeding your limit if you have been lucky.

The gambler should play the one game to learn the game completely,then the gamblers get more self confidence in that particular game.The gambler who are experienced will play the same game all the time,because they know that game.They may come across the other game in that gambling site.But the knowledge to the second game was low or zero,So it was essential one to use the same game.And if the gambler play the different game at a time.This leads to the loss of the skills about the previous game.Because brain won’t save anything permanently,So playing same game alone will allow the player to make more money.
