we know that apart from the fun that some gamblers enjoy while gambling, the majority of others gamble basically because they want to make money from gambling, and in doing this, I have come to notice that gambling stories play a great role in determining if a gambler will reduce his gambling, go more aggressive in terms of the amount used in gambling or even quite gambling momentarily.

I've read and watched stories of people who hit a big jackpot and from a first-person point of view, the first thing that comes to mind is that " I wish I was the lucky person" and the effect of such an experience has always been to keep trying with the hope that I might get lucky to win my jackpot.

I just want to know, How have jackpot stories affected your gambling routine?

Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?

 

I can’t actually tell that my gambling habit is certainly affected with those gambling big wins and jackpot stories simply because, I know exactly that gambling will only make you profitable if you are good and lucky enough on the games you played, otherwise you will only lose a lot while chasing big wins.

Some may lose, others may win big time, and this is the real scenario with gambling. However, I do believe that it’s mostly losses than win, no matter how you try to stake bigger, it won’t guarantee a big win but most likely a huge loss instead. And the more you bet with bigger amount, the more losses you’ll incur, that’s how unfair gambling is.

I have indeed read those jackpot stories, from both lottery winners and also from people who had an extremely good luck session while playing slots. Though, I have not allowed those foreign experiences to affect the amount of money I usually wager on a casino or to switch to other games which would be the same on which those people managed to hit those jackpots. Though, I admit the temptation is always there for me to try a little bit harder than usual, I try not to fall into it.
By the way, I did not know those stories were also shared in first-oerson format, that is quite clever if the objective is inciting others to try and get the same result.
Whatever... Regardless on the effectiveness of those advertisements, any gambler who considers themselves to be responsible should never allow advertisements to dramatically increase their wager.

I'd admit that at a time, for the sake of winning big, I was momentarily trying a strategy I had in mind to utilize long ago but hesitated to use it. That is the thoughts of winning big made me not to hesitate in giving the strategy a shot. I think the thoughts of winning big played out to be a catalyst which pushed me to try out the long awaiting strategy. However, it was just on a strategy not on money. Although it'll have to make me wager a bigger amount than usual. Yet, that doesn't mean I'd be going compulsively on achieving the big wins. It's all in me that some day it'll show up, don't know when it'll be.

Contrarily, I've never been in a situation where I wished I won just like the other guy next to me. Because, I know, somehow, the end of the road for the money, myself inclusive. I used to think of being a better person when it comes to handling the money properly, but have been opportune to understand how the jackpot works by learning from others. Then, it came to me that anybody can easily spend out all their winnings in a short period. That didn't or wouldn't stop me from expecting a jackpot, as it's part of the game and fun to hit.

From a personal point of view, such stories do not influence my gambling at all. I am aware that the probability of winning the lottery does not change cause you are extra motivated by a news article on some dude who won half a million dollars. He was the one a million possibilities and it is still not profitable to chase becoming that person.

Just have fun while gambling, you could make some money along the way, and lose some too, but nothing life changing. Invest in skills you can acquire to get income.

For me, it's very risky to draw motivation from stories of huge wins and jackpots. It's normal to feel excited and hopeful for such a win, but using the story as a self-motivation to continue gambling and staking a huge amount can cause the person to become a compulsive gambler.

It's better off being on your cool and maintaining your normal and safe gambling practices with the belief that one day you are going to get lucky too.

A gambler who wins the jackpot today was never aware that's what was going to happen that day; it usually happens unaware to the gambler. So, even if you get motivated by the story and decide to gamble aggressively, you are not sure when you will get a huge win.

I don't allow such stories to affect my gambling lifestyle.

Unfortunately, from some of my known friend's experiencing it quite triggered him to bet more than his usual wagering pattern. He's not blaming anyone but the feeling itself is just something that could give a gambler, that drive to experience more. If we would go deeper, this might be because winning is a bit rare at least to majority of gamblers. Experiencing it on the other hand could give you hope and expectations that winning is really possible. Greed basically. I've never hit the jackpot but at this point that I'm now aware of my gambling patterns, I'd probably take a paause from gambling if ever I would be winning one. This is to secure the profit, basically and to not let emotions gamble for me.

Some people might get inspired on these stories but I think people should focus more on the journey before those big wins, than to just look at the result already. That might be more helpful to remind gamblers that there is no such thing as an easy way in gambling industry.

One's gambling habit can be influenced by the story of a jackpot win. But the extent to which these gambling habit can be influenced depends on if the person who wins the jackpot is a close friend or just a random person. If it were a friend that won the jackpot, I would want to take a higher risk, gamble more frequently than usual in the hopes that his luck rub off on me too. If it were some random dude on the internet, I could care less. Absolutely no effect on me whatsoever.

It doesn’t affect the size of my bankroll but rather the game I’m playing. I frequently copy the same game which the big win happened when I saw someone win big on that specific slot game. This gives me motivation that I can experience the same multiplier but not the same winning amount.

I’m thinking realistically based on my bankroll capacity. It’s absurd to think that you will win same jackpot amount that has a high bet stake on it while you have tiny bankroll due to your financial status.

So my girlfriend's younger sister and her friend played a girl, and she won a very big amount and her friend won more.

How it happened: I went to visit my friend and I saw lots of properties in her house, so I asked her how they came. She told me her sister played a game and won a very big amount, which she used to pay her school fees. She bought a slider and a standing fan. You can imagine the amount she won because she still had enough to shop for clothes.
The story really interests me because I was so broke during that period, and I was wishing I knew about the code before then. So I asked her for her contact information and started requesting a code to gamble. I lost a lot of small money that period; I couldn't even win one, so I decided to stop. Success stories can make one gamble and hope for a pay day. I agree with you.

I was affected by jackpot stories in my early days of gambling and I also wanted to win big so I keep on playing which finally got me addicted to gamble. It was later that I realized that win big might be impossible as I keep on losing anf after a hard lesson, I stopped gambling.

I started gambling again after a while, when I have understood how one should gble responsible. If I see those big wins now they only tell me that someday of I am lucky, I will also win big. However, some of these big win stories are what made some people that are gamblers now to gamble because they felt that it is easy to win big or that it is very possible for them to win big.

Everyone is hoping for a jackpot but we never know when it will come do we need to buy more in the lottery game? Every now and then read the news outside they hit the jackpot of the lottery which is a huge amount.

I've never hit a big jackpot so there's no difference to gambling.
But usually after they win the jackpot will not stop playing gambling it will continue to play until they win again.

Ever... increase the bet in large amounts but still the results are different from what is wanted the same as friends, maybe he is lucky while I am not.

Any winning stories that I've seen/watched/read will not affect my gambling habit, I know my own limit and I know that I should stay with it.
I do like to watch big win videos in youtube or other social media but I take it as entertainment only.
Of course I do not wanna be a hypocrite, sometime I dream to win such huge amount of money but luckily it does not change me as I realize my own ability and I know that I should not try to win such huge amount because I'm a small gambler only.

These stories about big wins can serve as a motivation to keep gambling because you believe that it will be your turn one day. I have not just read about these stories but have seen how gambling turned the lives of many people. But these wins are rare so there is no need to allow these stories to affect your gambling activities.

Gambling wins basically come through skills or luck. I have been tempted to increase my bets when someone gives me some games and assures me that they will play. But it turned out to be a fake game and since then I have always stuck to my gambling budget. These stories will never motivate me to increase my bet because I know that gambling is unpredictable.  

We only learn from what others have passed through, those experience were meant to motivate us and not to depress us and make us feels like we have no hope, or we have been missing out from many opportunities with gambling, instead, we should have focus on it that our own time will also come, and we are going to make use of such wisely.


We should never feel being intimidated, anything can happen when we gamble, those that have won in the past, many of them could not recall on the successful achievement they have realized from big win they once made, we can set our own priority right and see it as an advantage on us to use others lesson to avoid making mistakes when our own time comes.

I am not affected at all because I knew that there would be winners who would win big jackpots because that's the fact about gambling if you are affected, then there's an element of greed and envy about how you gamble, I already know long before I gamble that people can win huge amount of money this is the reason why you gamble because of the possibility of winning a jackpot if you are affected with this stories you will get astray and you will bet more than what you can afford to bet, so its better to stay within your limit as there will always be jackpot winners who knows tomorrow is your turn.

Well, to be sincere, yes, but only for a few times though, you will agree with me that we sometimes get stronger with experience.
For the first time I heard about someone I know winning a jackpot worth hundreds of millions in my local currency, I was overwhelmed and wished it was me, and this drove me to signing up on that same casinos and almost playing my life away hoping to encounter the same type of winning, or even half or quarter of what that dude won, but unfortunately, it didn't happen, all I kept winning was between $0.5 to $5, even when I played the same slot game the dude played and won the jackpot, I still did not win, over time, I gave up and never returned to that casino to try again after having lost all my deposits.

Another experience was when a user on this forum shared his experience on Bitcasino, how he got a Bitcasino nft with a $5000 bonus for free, he played slot game with the $5000 bonus and won, and withdraw about $100,000 from Bitcasino after completing the wager requirements,  I was moved to register on Bitcasino with hope of getting same bonus as well,  ;D, but this desire or hope quickly died after few days after registration and there was no bonus lol 😂.

I am still engaged in gambling today because of the large victories that other individuals have managed to win. We all take risks when we gamble, each hoping that one day luck will come on us as it has on others.

Witnessing someone else's colossal victory can serve as a strong incentive for our own gambling continuation. The yearning for victorious euphoria and dreams of substantial earnings act as powerful lures, despite the stark reality that most gamblers are unlikely to realize similar windfalls. Casinos and gambling platforms work in favor of their owners rather than the players; hence, the odds are perpetually stacked against those who partake in play. They create an environment whereby there is always more chance to lose than win.

So it is quite important for us to always maintain a balanced and responsible perspective when gambling is very important. Keep in mind that, though there exist tales of great victories, there are also numerous tales of losses. The most important point is to ensure that gambling does not adversely affect your financial situation and your emotional state.

Stories about jackpots are mostly stories about lotteries, but since I know that the lottery is a pure scam, I don’t pay attention to them. As for my gambling strategy, even without the examples of other gamblers, I realize that my goal is “to win a lot” and I am trying to achieve it. Naturally, I have to take risks, but it is impossible to get a large multiplier in any other way. The most difficult thing is when the moment comes when the amount won is already large and you have to either continue playing or give up your dream and withdraw the money.

At one point, seeing someone get a big win encouraged me to play aggressively. That said, I wouldn't do it again because if your luck isn't great, it can quickly ruin the fun and your session. Instead of going after that big win, i'd better play like usual, stick to the rules i've set, and be satisfied with the wins i'll get along the way. Winning usually makes gambling fun, but there's no need to go overboard and do the same when it can easily go the other way.

That kind of scenario happens temporarily but not permanent, it is just at the time you see or heard that a gambler lost huge amount of money then you have that nostalgic feeling to slow down on your bankroll because you don't want to experience that too but after awhile in the game, that fear goes off and you continue your normal bankroll staking. It is just like when a driver on a high way comes in contact with accident car, he is likely to slow down, feel bad for some time because he would as a human reflect on it assuming he was the one on the accident scene and then sooner than later, he would continue on his speed pace. Therefore,it is like gambling too. When you see a gambler who lost huge you may not want to take the amount of risk he took at the point but later your appetite for risk will increase again. So there is always the fear factor.

Different individuals go into gambling with different ideas, there are those who see it as a form of entertainment and there are still people who gamble for the profits and I think the number of those who gamble to make profits are more than those who see gambling for fun and entertainment cause the number of poor people are much greater than those who are wealthy and we all know how lack of money could lead someone into different ideas of getting it.

 Most of these poor people go into gambling cause of the big wins and jackpot stories when they hear that a close friend made a huge profits from it, they'll want to try and see if they'll be able to benefit as well, but I think it's wrong when someone go into something they don't have good knowledge about cause of greed gambling is a game of luck so it shouldn't be rushed into without a proper understanding.

Hearing the stories of other gamblers is very interesting but come to think about it, some people that doesn't know how to gamble and how to select a specific games joined gambling because they heard of other gamblers interesting stories.
Months back me a neighbor was discussing about gamble and another male neighbor came in to discussion and he was telling us how he was winning hug money from his bets and the whole stories he told us was fine and the other person including me told him to teach us and he refused. This way I was quite handling the internets so well then I just open an online betting account but since I don't k ow were to start from I abandon it. I am saying this because there are people today that they are into gambling because of the successful stories they heard from another gambler. And most of these gamblers are addicted.

Every time I come across stories from various threads showcasing their gambling experience where they hit a big jackpot, I have this hidden pressure where it somehow compels me to try it out and to test my luck. Additionally, whenever I see people wagering huge amounts of money, there is also this feeling of conflict- I think that instead of wagering that amount of money, they could have invested in into other things that can give them a long-term strategic advantage over the others.


There was a time where I was watching some gambling ads and I came across this YouTuber promoting this specific gambling website. He was livestreaming his games and he also admitted that the funds that he received from that gambling website was "sponsored" to him for use.

Of course, he won and tripled his money at the end. It got me thinking whether I should try it out and to personally see it for myself. Long story short, I tried it out and lost $50 that night.

To conclude, it really depends on how you view it. Some people may find it inspiring while others may feel conflicted and scared of risking that amount of money for a potentially life-changing jackpot.

Nope.

I am not reliant to someone's winning story to increase my betting habits. If I want to adjust, I'll do it with my will and not because I've seen someone won big.

It is inspiring to see other gamblers win and I am happy for them but it won't affect my gambling habit because I want to remain in control and to know what I do.

They don't affect me at all. Yes, I do feel envy, but that's it. I'd like to feel that adrenaline rush players feel when they face big win and can't believe their eyes. We all crave that, but I can live without it.
I don't start playing in the casino where someone won big and I don't try to play the same games with similar betting strategies. This is one of the biggest traps when you want to achieve something and you try to mimic some random guy that just got lucky. The truth is, you're not going to start your own company and become the second Microsoft or Google and you're not going to win big if you go play his game because you feel like the game is lucky today or something.

Nope, never. I've had a few friends who have hit it by a bit, not a life-changing amount but enough to splurge for a couple of days to a week with no problem. That has never encouraged me to try to achieve it though lol, kind of ignores the purpose of having fun by playing it since you're now playing it to earn money, which is a trap zone that's pretty hard to escape from if you fall in it. Nonetheless I have felt jealousy over it, I just never let it go over my head.

As for jackpot stories, I'd have to hit one first before telling one :P

I could really tell the behavior i do have when it comes to gambling or towards it:

1. Doesnt really make myself that reflecting someones winning condition into mine. Why? You would really be just that finding yourself that become too desperate and this is bad on gambling.
2. Play for fun and not for money because once you do have that kind of mindset on which you do really believe that gambling could make you rich then you would really be having that huge mistake.
3. Dont try to reflect others luck factor into you on which we do know that this is something that will really be that different on each other.
4. Dont chase loses- This is something the most common when you are trying to achieve something
5. Big wins doesnt mean that those people arent experiencing big loses too. You dont even know if they are really just that having that breakeven.
6. Play games without stressing yourself on achieving this and achieving that.

Jackpot stories is really something that could really put you into a mind state that what if you have won that big amount? For sure you would really be buying all the things that you had wished for on your entire life
which i do consider this to be normal since we are just humans and we do have those kind of wishes on which it cant be avoided.

Though, sometimes we get motivated by hear so many stories of how others won huge amounts from gambling it still shouldn't be a drive to bet more than what you used to. Yes you might be lucky enough to hit a jackpot but what happens when you loss so much money at that time out of greed or other peoples stories. I don't think I see this as a reason for me to increase the amount I use in gambling but I might be tempted to gamble even more than I used to, when I see someone very close to me that have won a jackpot.  You can as well, try to learn from them on how they managed to pull it off but remember that gambling is about luck and they might have been lucky at that point in time.

I would be lying if I say it never did but I already came to a point where I can control how much I should bet on a game or a match. Of course I still wish to hit the jackpot every spin but I'm not desperate to increase each bet.

I often hear stories like this in lotteries. They buy more tickets when they know the jackpot was won.

Jackpot is one of the reason why most gamblers are into gambling in this current time, because from all that is happening, the hope of winning a life changing prize from your games session is what build the motivations in most of us, but although this kind of mindset can also have a significant bad effect on the gambler himself if his expectations never comes to past.


So for that, it is better to only gamble with the mindset that you may likely never going to hit a jackpot and taking the time to just cashing fun regardless of what the outcome of your bets may result to.

Many people want to get the Jackpot, but we have to realize that our chances of getting the Jackpot are very small and we even have to sacrifice a lot of money to get the Jackpot. When someone has a mindset like that, we have to keep our distance and remind him as much as possible not to spend too much money in gambling places. Make him remember how much capital he has spent and how much profit he has made? Also ask what the real results are from the gambling you have done so far. In this way, a glance can touch his heart and mind to make him think again.

People if they win the jackpot then they should use their mind in order to be more successful in future because if they use this jackpot again in gambling then they will come to previous status again. Most of the people when they see that his fellows have won the jackpot in gambling then they also want to start gambling but in gambling everyone cannot win as it is the luck which makes you either a profitable or loser.

I am not affected by others through the winning of the jackpot because maybe they are lucky in gambling that's why they are winning but I don't want to put myself at risk. A person should have his own concept and thoughts so he will not be affected by the money of others and should trust your own work as slowly but surely it gives you a better income.

In short don't expect that what happens to others will also happen to you, especially in gambling ang hitting a big jackpot because it will only give you a false hope and that's right that might be the cause of your misery, at first I play gambling because I get inspired to those gamblers that is winning a huge amount of money and hitting a big jackpot, that's why I get curious and try playing gambling in hope experiencing what I saw, but reality hits, I hope and failed and I learn the lesson in a hard way, that's why at early stage of me playing gambling I learn not to hope and expect anything in gambling because not all people will have the same luck as the others, mind your own business and luck in short, if you win then good for you but if you see someone winning, don't let that affet your gambling activity, gamble at your own phase and your own routine. 

When I was new to gambling, I was like others who were inspired by the achievements of other gamblers, especially when I heard of someone winning a large sum of money.At that time, because I didn't know the struggles of those people how or how much they gambled for a long time before getting that jackpot price, There are times when I envy them so what happens is that I imitate their playing technique, it almost reached the point that I would give up a large amount just to win because that's what people usually do winning at gambling, but when it lasted, I realized that it shouldn't be like that because no matter how much we bet, if the opportunity to win is not for us, we won't really get it.

It didn't affect me really, I mean that's on them, they're a lucky person to win that much money and I know for a fact that I'm not going to be able to win that because gambling is a really risky and heavily favors only the people that are on the other side that's facilitating the gambling, even if you try and lie to yourself, it will always be the same, the odds won't change no matter and that's why it didn't my gambling habit in any way, I guess the mentality that gambling is only for entertainment has taken a root in me that I don't care about winning anymore aand that I should just let things be.

Imho those big wins and jackpot stories suppose to work as a motivators, like stories of success (bought an apple for 1 cent, sold for 2 cents, now I am a multibillionaire). But for me they work opposite. They never encourage me to gamble more, they never worked like "with enough effort you can achieve everything". I see them as lost opportunity. I was gambling to win, but now, as guy has won jackpot, the maximum I can get are several thousands. That is how I see them. If this is an offline casino and I would hear that someone just has won big, I would leave it. This is the case when "lighting does not hit same tree twice" :D

I don't think jackpot stories can influence one's gambling habits/routines. It's nice to hear a story about a big win or watch a video about it. There are a lot of games and I believe that anyone who likes a game likes to watch or hear a story about a big win in that game. I like to watch these things and I believe it influences me to want to play that game the next time I gamble. I believe that is the case with most people, when we see something interesting to us, we want to try it.

Playing with higher stakes brings more excitement, that's why we like to increase the stakes sometimes. When we watch someone playing big we wish to play big as well, but we need to know our limits and our "max bet" limit.

because gambling is where we can generate more money from small capital in short time but the problem is
about the risk and the consequences.

but this does not affect me because never that i Won jackpot or huge so maybe i have nothing to contribute from this part of thread.

but once I won 30x of my capital in a day , but yeah i increased my bet from that and ending losing everything.

In my case, I don't let myself be affected by the news about people who have won a lot of money in gambling, I understand perfectly well that the cases of people who have won a lot of money in gambling are rare cases, it's not something I look at and I say that if I play a lot maybe one day I can win a lot too. I would be fooling myself if I thought that way. as I only focus on sports betting because I believe it suits me, I have seen some people in my country and even on the internet posting photos of multibet bets in which they won a lot of money, I don't know if they are fake photos in the case of the photos of internet, but in the case of the big victories of people in my country, it is something true

but even so, I don't copy and I don't follow the same path as bettors from my country, for example for bettors from my country, they keep placing bets with odds above 50x, they are multibet bets with more than 20 games, I don't I see this being something that a person can win frequently, which is why I prefer to place my bets with odds of 10x maximum in which there are up to 7 games at most in the multibet.

Now it is undeniable that most people who place sports bets when they hear incredible stories like this:


source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2022/11/06/mattress-mack-wins-record-75-million-sports-bet-after-astros-win-world-series/?sh=29c4a7de42b4

tend to be more motivated to place multibet bets with higher odds to also win a lot of money with a small money bet

I think the stories that we hear from other people's big wins are not always something that changes the way we gamble, and what we have to understand is in terms of sensation and pleasure, or what it means is that if other people feel the sensation of a big win then I think it is less likely for us to change our gambling methods such as becoming more aggressive for example, because usually something that can change someone's behavior or way of gambling is when they have experienced a big win in gambling which after that situation then the next time they gamble with a small budget amount then they will feel bored and they will not be too interested because they are gambling with a small amount of risk.

That is what I know and I have also seen or even experienced it myself that when I managed to get a big win with high risk then the next time I gamble again then I am not interested in gambling by taking a small risk, and this is also the reason why the level of addiction in gambling is different, simply put if they have hit a big jackpot then usually the next approach to gambling will be more aggressive because they want to get the same amount of winnings or much bigger.

Motivation or influence will always be there for other gamblers if someone gets a very large jackpot. We should focus on controlling ourselves in our own game, don't play too aggressively to chase something. To get something big is not easy, it takes a lot of time, it's best if we get or win any amount and it's not too big, we should enjoy what we get. In my opinion, this step is quite wise and responsible in controlling everything compared to us continuing to play hoping to get something much bigger.

Most of the time, jackpot and huge winnings drag other people to join gambling because almost every one wish to win big as well but they forget to know that gambling is about luck because i have seen a lot of people in my streets back then developed interest in gambling just because someone that was living in the neighborhood won a huge jackpot and used the money to travel abroad  that was how everyone in the street started playing gambling with the mindset they will win jackpot but some of them even got broke due to addiction and they didn't succeed so you don't depend on what works for others to work for you and gambling is pure luck.
Although sometimes it is also good to chase jackpot or bigger wins but we shouldn't allow it to get to our head such that we will find ourselves in vulnerable situations due to lack of knowledge on how to go about gambling.

You are right and I agree with you that our friends wins can influence one to gamble more in other to see if you can be as lucky as he was. This is what have motivated some people into gambling because their friends that are gamblers was lucky enough to hit the jackpot, and they will lose to take the risk too. Currently, I have come to understand that luck plays a major role in gamble so if I see a friend that wins big, I will celebrate with him, but I will not be triggered by his wins.

Those jackpot stories haven't impacted my gambling routine even a little bit. I believe those stories are the stories of those players who are extremely lucky and I believe I'm not extremely lucky. I won't say that I'm not lucky but I believe I'm not extremely lucky and that's why I don't let such stories impact my gambling routine.

I am always of the opinion that newcomers are most often lucky in the game—those who come by chance and accidentally but generously place bets. I was not a witness, but I have heard about such cases. If we talk about a targeted bet much higher than the previous amount, then either this can be done by a very rich person who does not count money or by someone who is already under the influence of passion and greed. Leaving everything to chance is a rather presumptuous action; after all, that person must have a good nervous system to cope with the expected loss. But if we talk about myself, I prefer to move in small but regular steps.

However, stories about jackpots that can significantly increase your winnings are always tempting, but the mind kicks in time, screaming that not everyone is destined to own big money.

I don't think much about jackpot stories because I believe everything in life is based on timing, your time must surely comes someday so Thinking much about jackpot winning may Leed you to spend unnecessarily or gamble aggressively and becomes addicted.

I usually increase the amount I play with. But not because of the amount won by others but just that I feel like to increase my betting when I have extra cash and I feel like to increase.

To say the truth, I have wished to be a winner like someone else many times before, but I couldn't let go of the reality that this is gambling, also I strongly believe that someone else path can't be the same as mine, so I move on after the weird feeling and thoughts.

When it is my time to gamble I still go my old ways, using the same amount I have been risking on gambling and I stop once I run out of money, I don't do what others are doing even if they get more luckier than me, it makes no difference, I could embark on what they did and I will be the one to lose.

You can't always be as lucky as others, and this gambling thing is all about luck, so why would you wish for something you can't control? It is safer to protect yourself when it comes to gambling, you can copy others in something else but not in gambling.

One thing about hitting a jackpot or a big win is that it doesn't come too easy and not when is expected, so those who would jump in and begin funding huge amount just to win a jackpot will not at that moment get it,  might be when a person least expect. It is good that will rather pay no attention to such stories and do as convenient on our financial level instead of doing too much with eager attempts to hit the jackpot. Everyone is lucky, maybe not yet your turn.

Seeing other gamblers made fortune through gambling can motivate someone to keep playing because of the thought that the time will come you'll win too. However, it's not a good mindset in gambling because every gamblers have different fate. Thus, don't be so hopeful because it can only lead to losses if you didn't control yourself when spending money in gambling. Just because you believe you'll gain huge too if you keep trying.

I used to be a gambler that is easily attracted to big win of gamblers. What i'm doing is, I will play the same game and expecting to hit a decent amount too. But that's not what we supposed to do when we gamble. Don't be attracted of other gambler's big win. Bet the amount you can afford to lose and refrain from being too inspired to win huge.

That's right, the influence or motivation will always be there for gamblers when they see other people who can get big wins or just by seeing videos circulating it can make them motivated to be able to get big wins in gambling, but unfortunately in this case of course The motivation they want is misplaced, where they have motivation that can actually lead them to misery and big losses. It's true what you said, we have to be able to focus on controlling ourselves when the gambling we do ends in victory or defeat, because self-control is the key to reducing big losses.

what we have to do is we have to be able to enjoy the results of the gambling we do, even though the gambling we do ends, we have to be able to accept it because if we can't accept the losses that occur with the gambling we do, then we might have thoughts of going back to gambling because we want to. recover losses that have occurred or really want revenge because of an unacceptable defeat.

Well, I haven't had that large amount of wins, maybe just hundreds of dollars only because I don't gamble a lot but I don't come here and be more aggressive with my gambling habits. I just enjoy and leave some in my account to gamble again. A portion of it is what I withdraw and then continue to gamble the rest as long as the initial amount is withdrawn.

That's just my strategy. And I am thankful with myself being able to control myself during gambling.

I would say yes those big wins and jackpots as a big impact on me in the sense that I place my mind to make it just as others do,on a norms you can dream big while putting effort towards that aspect, definitely most people gambling for money and to double their money but for me I see it differently cause I enjoy the fun but yet I nurse in me that I can still get a big win someday.

We all know hearing people's stories an testimonies about a success or an Achievement is an energised force that has a great impacts on anyone else cause you can't be spending money just because you want to but you will also place in your mind that I want to win too.

Nope, because I'm someone who can be grateful with what I have without need to care what other people have.

If your friend can hit a jackpot in x games, it doesn't mean you will hit jackpot in that games too.
If your friend gamble for 3 hours per day, it doesn't mean you must gamble for 3 hours per day too.

Jackpot is just a bonus, the most important thing is do you feel happy while gambling and do you regret after your gambling session?

That is a healthy mindset to have when comes to bonuses and the extremely very thin chance one has to hit them and change one's life. But we also need to understand that those jackpot are not a "bonus" or an addition to the advertisement of the casino. There are gamblers who have deluded themselves hard enough for them to take those jackpots as the literal aim or objective of them gambling session, you know. That is the disturbing part of the true gambling addiction.

An addicted person who always have jackpots in their mind could enter a casino or log on into one and exit that day with some relatively high profit (let us say 30 bucks), though that does not manner to them as that will use the initial bankroll and those new 30 dollars to continue next day with the seeking for the jackpot.

It is unfortunate, becwuse if it was not for the addiction to gambling those people would likely be very ambitious students, merchants, workers or executives.

First thing first is to know your strengths of what kind of gambling works for you...if you are into casino games go for that, and if you have your interests set in sport then stick to that!

Otherwise jackpot stories or big accumulator  winners just tell a story that anybody can win if you play, and not trying your luck can never bring you closer to becoming a winner...but do these increase my need to increase my stake? That's definitely a no as I understand risk management is key to surviving the long game and this can't change the strategy!

Never, on the moment that there's someone who do make up some big wins then i would really be just that telling to myself that they were really indeed lucky.Never ever i did put up into my mind that i would really be trying out to reflect myself into them on which i do really tend to copy on what they are really that be able to achieve. We do know that when it comes to gambling then everyone does have their own luck on which means that if even you would really be trying you to copy on the things that they've been doing but doesnt mean that you would really be able to hit up on the same situation or luck. We do know that this is gambling and everything would really be just that relying on luck and if you are trying out to copy someone on how they do play then you are really just that putting yourself on such desperation mode on which this is really that not good on any way.

For some reason there are really people who d o get that influenced on the things that they are seeing on which it would really be that resulting that you will really be that definitely be trying to mimic them out
until you would really be experiencing some loses due to desperation and this is something that you must avoid at all cost. Gambling shouldnt really be something stressful or something that will really be that
making you having that kind of anxiety or any bad feeling or desperation becauise it do really that destroy the real essence on why we do gamble.

I used to do it until I realized it's like you are chasing losses, it's envy, and greed that made you do this, the same thing that you feel when you are chasing losses.

Gambling is a game of luck, luck comes unexpectedly so one's luck could be your luck the next day and you don't have to change the way you bet because a guy you know hit a jackpot.

It's like a guy you read in news media who won the lotto, it's no use doubling or tripling your bet will increase your chance just because the guy who won the lotto had a lot of tickets, even a guy who bought one ticket had a chance to win.

That's wonderful and it is true that, while many people have a clear tendency to compare with others, specially in their surroundings, others have a stronger self-esteem and don't need it so much.

I have heard of people winning the lottery and I have thought: oh, I'd also like to win it! So I play lottery from time to time. But I remember that a few years ago some neighbors won certain lottery, and although many others started playing more seeking the same fate, wasn't my case.

In brief, I think that these cases of success are usually encouraging, but the effect among different people varies greatly between individuals.

Well, for me, I haven't big wins or jackpot since I started gambling but I have seen people winning big wins and jackpots too and I have seen how it has changed their lives, some were changed for good while some are changed for worst, for example, if some of them win, they will use it to invest themselves for their own betterment and might even stop gambling or might gamble responsibly unlike some who won't allow greediness to be responsible gambler to themselves, once they win big wins or big jackpot, they will want to use it to gamble to increase more of their win and such case will cost them to have a great loss which might affect their mental health.

The jackpot has many aspects.

From the lucky gambler's side: it's a lot of money, literally a full life experience.
But there is also a downside: often many relatives are instantly offended if the lottery winner does not give them money.

From the casino side: if someone wins the jackpot, then this person becomes an excellent advertisement for others, and many people start gambling hard, because they also want to change their lives. A similar effect always works in gambling and batting, even when the winnings are not big.

Sometimes I also think that, seeing my friends win the jackpot, I want to be lucky like them too. but I thought back that I might not be as lucky as him, so I stopped thinking about placing a large bet.

Winning the jackpot in gambling is dreamed of by all gamblers, that is the big hope of a large percentage of gamblers, but very few people have good luck in the jackpot, maybe we have to assess the extent of our ability to enter the gambling arena, that is what becomes a burden.

Sometimes I realize that when I gamble, I don't really hope for something like winning the jackpot. For me, winning normally is already a pleasure, let alone winning the jackpot, So if I see a friend having good luck, I won't be affected by the victory he achieved, my principle is that someone's fate is not the same as ours.

       -    I have read a lot of gamblers who got big winnings in gambling, and if I watch and read, he is inspiring from a different angle. I just don't know about others. I was just inspired because I know that gambling is really just luck.

And it's not the one that pushed me to increase my habit of betting every time I play crypto gambling. Because the amount of money I gamble is still limited, and I am so disciplined with
myself as a gambler.

This means that luck has a significant impact on gambling, because as you said, the victory achieved by others can certainly be something that motivates others to follow in the footsteps by all means they believe in by putting high hopes to be able to get a big win like others have made. But I think it is a fact that if we talk about gambling then obviously what is actually more prominent is the negative impact, which can clearly make a person suffer from downturns in various aspects of his life.

But most gamblers only look at the positive aspects, namely the chances of winning, even though it is clear that only luck can lead them to this result while there is absolutely no guarantee or certainty that can tell you that you will win. In a gambling environment usually when one person manages to get a big win then it is a big motivation for other gamblers as I said above, and as you said it is a pure advertising scenario and this is also the reason why casinos get more profit than gamblers.

No, I have not because it is stupid to do that and even if I do there's no way I can be lucky like him. Gambling doesn't make it possible for gamblers to win because their friend has won a huge amount. I will end up to lose my bet if I choose to increase the amount I normally stake because I am not sure if to win or not.

We should not because if we do we are prone to losing a lot of money there is no use getting affected because luck in gambling is not just a result of effort it is more of luck and we don't know who and when will luck strike next.
I'm a lotto bettor and I have seen huge jackpots won by construction workers I only feel good to the guys for hitting the jackpot and getting a chance to change their lives for the better, there is no use changing how we gamble as long as our routine is safe.

I have done this and I did become motivated to get my jackpot, the winnings I craved could change my life quickly, but in fact it was just an expectation that ate more of my money in gambling, this is very dangerous in gambling and can make a person impulsive and even worse a very high addiction due to chasing back the loss that has been done.

A lot of people lose valuables because they think they will hit the jackpot, they sell them and then gamble on gambling and end up becoming a hobo and make it difficult for their family because of careless and motivated decisions that are stupid about gambling, but whatever happens in gambling we have to limit every interaction to prevent us from becoming poor quickly.

It foolishness to increase our amount because someone else won with big amount, we need abide by our plan and within our means while gambling, there is no guarantee that you gonna win like him, besides we need gamble in a way that we have opportunity again another time. Our brain only get trigger with rewards and as such we tend to wanna have same results as others which in gambling is the beginning of such gamblers doom.

Personally nobody winning or jackpot have shifted my motive in gambling. Catch the positive vibe and don't allow it push you to seek same results.

But most gamblers will be very affected, that's why casinos often show on their social media when one of their users manages to win a large amount, and as long as that's what actually happened, of course it's not a problem, but when there are casinos who lie because it's not the truth then it is clear that the casino is spreading fake news just to gain more users but a trusted casino will not do that.
If you are not affected by this and stick to the amount of bets you usually make, of course that is a good thing, because that is how we should be because every gambler has a different limit and also we don't know for sure how much the gambler spends until the end win a lot of money.

That may be because it wasn't a true jackpot? But if it is and it's been a long time you saw your friend living the moment/best times of their life every single time or day, I think you will also get curious to feel what it's like but first, you need to win a life-changing amount of money just like them through gambling because it may not be possible to achieved it in a short span of time through working and other traditional source.

When you play gambling, I am sure that you will still enjoy it even though there is a pressure if you are risking a significant amount either through each bet, or by bankroll and the more you will enjoy if you got lucky and win huge but yeah, this can be a trap too, so it's also best to just stick within our limits.

This is true as most of the time people are trying to gamble more just to find a jackpot but the jackpot is not in the fate of everyone. We should accept our own success without wishing for more money because our excessive dreams can make us addicted to bad activities.



 There should be a limited amount because the more you increase the amount for gambling the more you will lose as a result of which you will play gamble again and again just to earn some money to continue gambling therefore keep check on your activities as well as on your money and don't increase the amount whatever happens.

It depends on how a person uses gambling. If he uses gambling as entertainment and hits a big jackpot, he should still be able to use gambling as entertainment and nothing will change. He still limits his gambling because he knows that gambling is just entertainment.

Unfortunately, people who have already hit that big jackpot think that they can hit another jackpot. This makes them continue gambling and try to catch the jackpot even though it is not easy. They don't think that gambling is just entertainment and not a place to make money.

I won't increase the bet amount just because someone I know won a lot of money. I realized that it would not give me a chance to win. I would only experience more losses if I did that. I try to limit myself when I playing gambling.

Therefore, I believe that if someone wins the lottery or wins the jackpot at the casino, then such a lucky person is provided with the requirements from the gambling platform.
And one of the requirements is that he must appear in a television story where he stands with a huge check and a happy expression on his face.
And this is a huge promotion for such gambling. Everyone watching this report immediately imagines themselves in the place of this guy or girl.

I have never changed my betting patterns due to those stories, as even if it is obvious I would like to obtain those profits, at the same time I know that in order to do so I will need to take a risk I am not willing to take and I will need to depend on my luck, which I cannot control.

So I will recommend other people to take the same posture, and refuse to let themselves to become influenced by those wins, since it is almost impossible they can obtain those same results.

It is normal to ask for valid IDs from those who won a jackpot in a casino or while gambling to verify if they really won, and if they have ever won online, then a casino that asks for KYCs is for verification purposes. It's just that most of the time. And if you don't comply, they won't give you your winning prize. 

Now, in the lottery, usually the ticket is the most important thing that you should never lose because it can go to someone else if you lose the ticket, which makes you win because it has the number that you bet on and chose.

When you see someone has won a big jackpot, maybe other gamblers think that they also want to get the same luck that someone achieved. Even though someone won a big jackpot because they dared to bet a large amount so that the win was more pronounced and the profits they took were many times greater but the risk involved is also quite high. Maybe for gamblers who want something like that they try to increase their bets but in reality they don't produce anything because they are not lucky, gambling is a game of luck no matter how much you bet because you see someone else winning the jackpot, if you are unlucky you won't be able to get the jackpot also.

To be honest, I have experienced this when my friend told me about the gambling tricks he played and he was luckier because he sometimes won gambling with large amounts because he dared to bet big money (for me). But after I tried it with the tricks he give it a big profit. I tried to bet a fairly large amount and hoped to win like my friend, but still I was unlucky and lost. In the end, I regretted it because I followed other people's winning instincts too much.

Maybe I can speak from a different perspective based on the gambling experiences I have had. I mean, I even we all have a lot of experience related to gambling. Moreover, gambling is not something foreign to all of us who enjoy this type of entertainment. If I'm talking about a few years ago, especially before online casinos dominated, let's just say I saw or even heard of friends getting fantastic jackpots for their gambling. It cannot be denied, the feeling of wanting to get the same thing has quite an influence on my circle of friends, or the people closest to me. It's very natural, this is also related to the psychology of gambling. Well, I'm speaking based on long experience with this hobby. Not infrequently, we are motivated to get and compete to achieve what we want in gambling. Well, actually it doesn't matter if someone knows exactly what he is doing. knowing the impacts, risks, financial problems and even mental health problems. Unfortunately, many people don't know and are even carried away by emotions of anger which cause our rationality to not work well. In the end, many gamblers fall into the trap of what started out as fun and becomes a problem. I say once again, what I say is based on personal experience. the winnings achieved by someone, be it a friend, community or even based on newspapers reporting someone getting a very sensational jackpot. Of course, it will have an impact on those who see or hear about this fantastic victory. That's why, apart from being fun, gambling carries quite a big risk if it is not understood more deeply. Honestly, at the moment I'm not interested in doing the same thing as this question. why, because I respect myself more to play, play or bet according to my wishes and the limits I want. to bet small or bigger, it all depends on what I want and what I believe. Moreover, what must be considered is whether we can afford the risk. if not, just bet modestly. Simple isn't it, that's what my gambling is like now.

Indeed, gambling is a game of chance, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get a big win or jackpot. With those who have already won a big win or jackpot, it is indeed because of strong luck, but that does not mean that all gamblers will definitely get it, of course only a few gamblers can get a big win, because gambling is based on luck and right what you said, we don't know who and when luck will come, because of course luck is only occasional data but in gambling many gamblers waste the luck that has been obtained because they follow their greed.

It's true, there is no point in changing the way we gamble, the point is not to be obsessed with winning at gambling because we must be able to see, the chances of losing are greater than winning that cannot be changed. It has become a permanent fixture, therefore gamblers will generally only experience loss or defeat in the long run.

I agree everyone is lucky but some people are more lucky than the others and that's why the ones who win such jackpots are those who are quite lucky.

Everyone's luck works in different areas, some people get lucky in casino games while others get lucky in sports betting.

Personally, my luck works well in sports betting and that's why I prefer it over other types of betting, but if someone's luck works well in casino games than he/she should prefer those instead of sports betting.

If you look at it from streamers and influencers, do you know that their winnings are engineered and there is collaboration between them and the casino owners, I'm not too interested in watching someone win big because I know that it could be engineered or a fake win, even though it's true it's definitely good luck for him, don't expect luck to come to us when gambling, just focus on gambling and having fun without having to hope for luck because I have been in your position hoping for luck to be obtained by other people and I was disappointed because I never got it.

Every gambler must have had luck, so don't think too much and expect more from the wins that we see from other people or that we watch, there are times when luck will come by itself, so focus on gambling because when you are lucky, that's when you will feel victory and one Another thing is that when you don't get luck or a big jackpot, make sure you can manage it properly and also never try to recover the losses you experience while gambling, that's not a good way to chase them, losing is part of gambling, it's not always about winning and big, you have to accept it whatever the outcome.

Am not always moved by stories of jackpot winnings thou it is  very much an exciting moment for the winner were every one will merely wished that they are the one that won without considering the risk involvement so funny, the least I could do is to celebrate with the winner but I don't allow it to affect my gambling habits because it can't be very dangerous for me in the sense that there will urge to allocate more fund to gambling than it should be based on financial ability and when it doesn't play to your favor the regret will becomes too huge to be handle, so the advice Will be that, you shouldn't be carried away by such stories and get mislead on the process, stay within your reach or lane.
