Internet is full of reassuring stories on big gambling wins like ten/hundred -thousand-dollar, or even more, while in most cases the gamblers are losing because they are either not the experts in on gambling they try or have not relevant skills and make foolhardy bets.

I'm sure everyone here involved into gambling has made such reckless bet  at least once in life.

Did such bet/s change  your gambling styles?

Have you become to be more eager in gambling or , on the contrary it has put a chill on you?

Stories of people winning big will conveniently leave out some details like how many losses preceded the win and what is the net win. If you dig deeper on your own you will find out that the cumulative losses are over coming the jackpot and other wins, making the net win amount a big negative. Which means that the player is still a loser.

Gambling is like that only, the edge is on the side of the casino and you will lose more than win in the long term. However such stories do falsely influence the less experienced person and they end up in the vicious cycle of loss-chasing loss-added loss. Recklessly placed bets like "All-in" only add the loss, they are rarely wins.

Sometimes I do not care about the loss and use the who betting budget for that week on gambling at once which can give me 3 odd. Either I get lucky with it or not but because it is not beyond my gambling budget, it has no negative effect on my financial life. It is just a small amount of money. The time that I bet like I do not care and waste a lot of money on it has been long gone, since 2018 or before. But after that time till now I use just small amount of money on Foolhardy bets.

Probably my most reckless was the time that I was trying to bet on slots in CoinRoyale, it was a fun game but I'm down with half of my current gambling fund, it wasn't a lot of money so I just went for it and bet on all the lines and guess what? It was an instant loss for me, I guess when you don't really care about the money and you care more about the fun, you will have an easier time accepting the losses and the occasional recklessness that you do, I've also done some bets on stupidly obvious losing teams just because the odds are too high pass up but it's not really in my mind to care so much if they lose or not, that's just how it is, you risk and you get rewarded most likely.

Will be many gamblers who try to show off their success in winning games or sports bets with very large amounts, but for some people they will take it seriously and the truth is that they don't know before they win what has happened.
Every person who shows his victory must have experienced many defeats, even in quite large numbers, it just that each of these defeats was not published and if this was known to many people, perhaps there would be no admiration because everything was just return for defeats.

I have been gambling for quite long time, have quite lot of experience and there have also been many failures that almost destroyed my life, but all of this is just past experience and now everything has changed significantly because of the existence of limits and controls which minimize the occurrence of reckless betting.
Moreover, right now I tend to make gambling only as form of entertainment and  means of having fun in my spare time, there is no other goal with big ambitions and sense of enthusiasm to pursue victory because I know that all of this is the never comparable.

In the past, I have also been reckless with my bets. The testimonies of my friends winning big from their bets, drew me into chasing my losses a couple of times back them. My foolhardy bets were in chasing losses and betting impulsively which incurred more losses. This was the sign that I needed to develop a gambling strategy that would stop me from losing so much money. With my new gambling strategy, which involved setting a limit on the amount of money I placed on each bet and only betting on games that I understand. Basically it was just about becoming more discipline and having a good approach to gambling.

In my case, I was not affected by my YOLO style of gambling, I mean that's what gambling is, you take that big risk as you don't know that outcome. Maybe I lose some sleep on that reckless move and lost everything. But still it will just a couple of days of mentally struggling and thinking what went wrong or why did I did that stupid move. After that, I will be back at it again and forgot what happened the following day. I know it's hard, but I don't see gamblers though maturing and changing their mindset. I'm talking about personal experience here guys, so don't get me wrong.

It is not about being an expert that one is able to win in gambling activities especially when they are dealing with chance-based games where the result is done through generating random numbers or RNG. 

People learn from experience, so yeah experiencing careless bets that resulted in a big loss can change one's gambling style and I am not exempted to experience such.


I stay calm and think of ways to control my tempo while engaging in gambling.  Since the experience taught me a lesson, I tend to be in control and try other approach and avoid acting carelessly to minimize losses and extend the time of my gambling activities with the same amount of bankroll.

To be sincere with you though, this is the first time I am coming across such a term as "fool hardy bets", and I do not know for sure what this means exactly, but I am assuming it to mean some bet mistakes we have made in the betting activities, if this be correct, then I did say that I've definitely made one mistake in the past while betting on sports, the mistake was a very painful one since it made me lose my hard earned money in three different places on exactly the same game.

What actually happened? Well, the long and short of the story was that I did not know what happened that day, I simply decide to bet 1x2 on a sports game that was already live, i choose the team I believed will win the match, and put $100 in that game, after a while, about some minutes, I was going to bet on another live match as well, but mistakenly repeated the same bet I did placed before, and put another $100, and as if that was not enough, I also did the same thing again while trying to bet on another live match as well, I put another $100 again, that is a total of $300 bet on exactly the same match and the same team to win.

I did not realize all this mistakes until much later when I came back to check my bets, I realized they were all sitting at the same odds, and I was losing on all three, when I looked closer, I realized that all the 3 games were all the same match, I knocked myself hard in regrets, eventually, the game lost and I lost extra $200 on a game I should have lost just $100.

It is a decision every serious gambler has made this foolhardy mistake from one time or the other. In most time a gambler that chase his bet or always want to win back his loss made such mistakes. And the way to avoid such mistake is to lock up, and stop reckless gambling and be a responsible gambler nd set your budget for gambling for daily or weekly. And most of those gambling win stories are sponsored by the company to showcase that if people can win such big amount, you can also win it. Come try you luck. That is, it is a method to lure people to go and play games in the casino website. And before that person won that amount, he has loss enough and other gamblers too have loss enough so our of $300,000,000 loss + 1 person win with $2,000  x 50 gamblers. So the casinos are making lot of moneys from gamblers.

The latter. I am no longer a hyper type of gambler. The reckless kind of bets that I have made in the past, made me learn that I don't have to be the same anymore.

Staying on gambling for so long and having no problems is like a survival instinct for most of us.

I guess those gamblers that are mostly doing YOLO bets can relate to this thread.

Well, I've done also a big mistake and cost me a huge amount of money, and yes because of that I wake up from my excessive gambling habbit just because I want to recover my losses and also hoping that I will get a huge amount of money from a win, but the opposite happens and from that I started to set limit and boundaries to my gambling activities, because I admit I still can't let go of my gambling activity because I still want the thrill and I'm used to gamble when I have a free time, but now its different I only have specific amount of money for example in a week, I will allocate $100 as my capital and if for instance I lose it all then I will stop and wait for another time where I can have funds again to use in my gambling activity, not all gamblers could change like me when experiencing a great loss in gambling, some will still dig deeper and make their lives more miserable.

I had earlier made a similar thread as this regarding the effect of  stories of huge wins and and jackpot have had on gambling habit and from what I read in the replies, it's clear that people ar easily influenced by these kinds of stories which to some extent affect thier gambling style and course an increase in the allocation that they would normally assign to gambling since they would in most cases want to win big. Here is the link to the main thread if you want to go through it and possibly learn from the replies.

But let me now talk from a first person point of view.  A friend once sent me a sport betting code and instructed me to play it but I was just reluctant to doing so, fast forward to the end of the day when the game finally played out as he predicted and he won his bet, I was a bit uneasy and felt disappointed that I didn't play the game and the fact that he has won, th next weekend I had to go on to playing a game I would have nit stacked on a normal day. The truth is that you can't really control yourself that much when you're seeing others winning big or when you've read stories of people that are doing what you're doing and have currently hit it big. You will get tempted to try your luck and maybe increase your bet and before you know it, you've gone into irresponsible Gambling.

Apart from getting motivation from stories of some one that I know, i can't rely on what I see on the Internet as a motivation to increasing my gambling style or going too aggressive in my gambling. Not on this internet sphare were the more you look at things, the less you see the real truth and anyone can easily design a slip that shows they've won big even when in reality they haven't won anything that's close to that.

Foolhardy is in English dictionary. It means someone to do something recklessly. Example is to just select a bet or be gambling in a way that you do not care but just want to gamble. I think this can lead to money loss.


The antonym of foolhardy is wise. If someone is wise, the person will think of using low amount of money to gamble. The person will stop if he won little amount of money already. If the person is losing, the person will stop gambling. The person will prefer to bet or gamble wisely and not recklessly.

These types of bet wouldn't be helpful to me but I do just sometimes go all-in if I'm reaching that certain point. I think everyone here understands what I'm talking about, that certain point when you are frustrated or something. It's really that reason that you make those foolish bets. That shouldn't be a style you know.

Not only once but many times because of loss of control, reckless bet is something that will always come out because of too many temptations some of which are the odds and the rewards.

Yes I have to change my style or I will continue to lose a lot of money, you have to always be on your limit if you don't want to depress yourself

It's going to pull a chill in you if you happen to lose money that is meant for paying bills or losing your savings that you saved for years only to lose for an hour of playing.
Gambling is a big trap for those who cannot control their bankroll and their time, allocation is the key, allocate time and money that you can afford to lose.

I have felt like this when I was losing continuously while using the martingale strategy. Recently I tried it two times recently but when I went all at ones I won the two times. I won the money from Blackjack contest on games and rounds. I eventually used $50 to win $110. But when I wanted to continue trying the strategy, I lost $39. I have played the game and lost all before which made me know that it is possible that I might lose all again. Instead of me going for foolhardy bet, I withdrew the remaining money and now in my bank account for spending after a converted it from crypto to fiat.

Everyone felt the same in my opinion, specially if we are losing already and losing big. Our decisions are clouded and so we go all-in and hope that our luck will change or that one win that will favor us to recover. As far as changing our habits or style? No, I seriously doubt that any gamblers here will change everything. Others could have learn from their lost, however, I do believed that others will go and fall in the cycle of repeating bets specially if we are frustrated. Also even if we are winning already, there is this element of greed in all of us. So we are going to increased our bet no matter what to win big.

This usually happens to young gamblers that are new in gambling, as a young gambler their is this confidence that makes one to feel as if they can always win bet and this feeling can make one place a bet without even minding if the money is big or not. It is so good to quickly recognised that this playing habit is not the best and can't just give exactly what you want. This is a common mistake that takes place in gambling but some people are unable this mistake which they ended up getting addictive to gambling. Desperation of making money quick from gambling also be a reason of playing gambling recklessly.

You have to consider why there might be so many positive stories around. Surely the reason they get publicity must be that many of them are actually paying off ads on social media and even many of these videos are scripted. Consider this, if someone has a big win, would they publicize it? Most people you know from real life, if they play gambling, they wouldn't even share a huge win with their friends for privacy reasons, let alone the whole world to see...

So keep this in mind the next time you develop an idea about gambling. There is a lot of guerilla promotion and not everything is genuine. And even if a streamer claims to be working on his own, it's often that they earn from their gambling activity and from people signin up through their links. So it's not a good idea to expect anything else. Their interest is in your losses, but they lure you in with the wins only.

In gambling there is no need for experts or skills anyone can play gambling because it is so simple to play it, but the more stupid they risk a lot of money without thinking about other things or their own finances, but they rely on emotions hoping to win big.

Depending on how disciplined and responsible they are, if this is not self-regulated then he can change his excessive gambling style.

It is normal in gambling, there is no excessive enthusiasm because the goal is for fun, but what makes goosebumps is losing large amounts.

As a discipline person, I hardly do some gambling online, but there are certain apps on my used remittance that opens up some gambling games I used to play on Casino, which sometimes make me play but of course with a little fund used. I think foolish betting is applicable to people whom have some extra money to waste and not for an average person that will rely his luck or everyday expenses on gambling.

In my experience nope, didnt make a huge cut that change my life but increase my wasted money only. But I still play for the sake of enjoying once in awhile.

On the contrary, it made me calm down.

When you think of money as an important thing, it should make sense that every gamble you make must be an important one too. You cannot just go bet blindly because you want revenge and your money back, that's not how online gambling works. It will be a foolish decision when you are being dragged by frustration and your decisions are clouded because you are losing and stress is eating you.

About those high multipliers that gambling sites use to entice more players, I think it's just a marketing strategy and that's for their own business. They need more players to get attracted to how high the multipliers can be given so they can continue their business. It's all up to us if we believe that we can also hit those, it's so rare that it might take some time and money before it happens.

Every gambler is susceptible to losing even if they are good because there is no such thing as a perfect gambler gambling is full of uncertainty and risks you cannot escape it losing is something every gambler should expect and it takes a responsible gambler to minimize these losses.

I don't think any gambler experienced this once it is a common occurrence among gamblers even the best gamblers are prone to commit this mistake, this things happened to me many times, and it's one of the things that I'm watching not to happen to me again and again.

We have to monitor and take control of our bets if we want to gamble for many years and still have a good experience control is everything. longevity in gambling depends on how well you control yourself leading to a more disciplined bankroll.

It does have a big impact on gamblers who are interested in getting big wins like that, but on social media I think it doubts the credibility of the winnings, considering the many scams that occur, I have a friend who is an influencer and he is sponsored by a casino to advertise the casino and show that he got a big win from the casino that sponsored him, It's an audience deception that is done so that many people are interested in playing at that casino, twice I encountered something like this, except for a random person and he was a nobody and then showed that he had won a big win from his gambling, I thought I could believe it.


It doesn't change my attitude towards gambling activities that I do, interested yes but I don't gamble impulsively after seeing that.

To me when stories recorded what comes into my mind is how long have they been betting to have such success stories, at times I still imagine myself putting down most of my lost and hoping for a success to break out one day but yet still didn't come, even as that I still believe that winning doesn't come so easily. You know even those people who share those stories doesn't believe they would have such winning but luckily to see it come and it's a thing of join.

Read the OP again and read what you posted. You diverted it from what OP is asking to an off-topic discussion. This thread is not about an influencer deceiving people about winning on a gambling site that is sponsoring him. This thread is about people that gamble and saw this post, that they should post if they have foolhardy bets in the past. I think all gamblers would have been in this kind of situation before which can lead to money loss as they bet recklessly.

Well, people actually think and reason differently, for you, you cannot go chasing after your loses because you believe and see money as very important to you, and by or in the process of chasing what is already lost, you might end up losing more money.
This is nice, but then, in the same vain, there are some gamblers out there who will still tell you that the reason why they have to chase after those money they have lost is because the money is important to them, and they can't afford to lose it  ;D.
In the end, we discover or see two group of persons with exactly the same mindset about money, but different in actions and reason for action.

In the nutshell, I personally do not think that there are any body currently living in this world who would say that money is not important to them, aside from a child who is yet to understand the value and importance of money, and also, someone who has already made so much money that they are beginning to see money as nothing.

I have an articulation of the OP's argument that there are a lot of people who share gambling winnings stories on the internet at large, not just in this forum or limited to the OP's writing in this thread, and the internet at large is a lot of manipulation that can make someone Fomo to play gambling and gamble arbitrarily because they see other people winning gambling with large amounts.

Let's see the correlation and am I talking about this off topic? Of course not, if you understand the meaning of what I'm trying to say maybe you can find the correlation, the OP didn't focus on his writing, but speaking the internet is wide and people can speculate about the same cases found outside the forum, I found two people who experienced cases of gambling recklessly out there as a result of reading stories of influencer wins, I emphasize that I might believe in such stories if the person who shared the story was someone who could, although I might not gamble recklessly after reading it.

Must people that has lost a lot in gambling, usually have this understanding of not allowing gambling that is not at least 70% above sure betting and making sure everything is right that you will win and having a full understanding that is not just putting big money is to understand the bet, yes so many people I knew have made such mistakes and they are not ready to make any more Mistakes to avoid them having some problems because of the aim of gambling and this has been happening for long time now, so many people has changed because of the lost they experienced.

I guess all slot player and other luck based game will be qualified to what you mention since these doesn’t requires skills to improve your winning chance rate or simply users is just placing bets without any idea if they win or lose.

I’m doing this most of the time when playing slot games. I don’t have certainty if I will win and most of the time I’m feeling absolutely negative when my bankroll is draining quickly while I don’t hit anything decent win.

Only sports betting players will be qualified to choose whether they will place wise bet or dumb tho.

I have learn a lot from such situations in the past, sometimes I am thankful to God that I never gamble outside my budget but on few occasions I have made such mistakes of becoming overwhelmed with an outcome of a bet wether be it negative or positive results, some days if the outcome becomes negative I have bad feelings for some days and then forget about it as time goes on, between I have made up my mind to always bet with in my limit and such limits are set based on my monthly earnings so I don't over bet anymore.

I feel like your topic is only half complete here and you are not giving users enough context as to what you feel is a foolhardy bet. It's harder for users to reply to you without knowing your train of thought honestly.

Most people are likely knowledgeable in most areas of gambling that they play. The only area that I think might be open for ignorance is sports. A person who has no idea about a sport that makes a bet on said sport without any knowledge is kind of just lighting that bet on fire. Of course they could get lucky and win, but much better to know what's going on.

Well mistakes are always inevitable so I would count mine pas experience with gambling as one of the errors of life because I had to learn to adjust my gambling habit the really hard way because the act nearly pushed me to wall, sometimes when I see the huge amount of money people use when gambling it just reminds me of how I actually use to gamble that much and believe me if you don't have a strong source of income then gambling that way will most likely reck you especially when you are always chasing after your loses because that's the end result for most gamblers that used such huge money although there is the set of gamblers one can class as filthy rich that such habits never affect thems whatsoever.

I believe that it is easy to test for yourself by placing a certain amount of money in a trustworthy casino and then try playing the games in which you consider yourself very skilled and you will see that in the end you will end up with losses in the long term, you can win In the early days, you can be a good bankroll manager. but in the long run you will lose your entire bankroll and you will realize that you lost because the game was designed so that in the end the house wins and that is a fair thing, and something that mathematics proves. By this I mean that thinking that someone skilled will make a profit in games of chance is a serious mistake

Most people who won a lot of money gambling were lucky, and in the case of people who played skill-dependent games of chance and won a lot of money, they had the courage to quit gambling as soon as they won a lot. because if they had continued to play, then their end would have been to lose everything. In my case, I don't let myself feel sad because of losses, I see losses as something normal because I look at gambling as entertainment and not as a place where I will constantly win money. Of course when I earn money I'm happy

The internet can sometimes influence Anyone, when they see the news, sometimes they want to try it out of curiosity. In many cases, it is true that many of them lose at the gambling table. They are irresponsible or careless in managing their finances, usually these people are emotional and cannot control themselves and usually they want to catch up on previous losses. In my opinion, with this reckless style, I think it is very dangerous if they play games at the gambling table. Usually, if someone has won a lot of money at the gambling table, sometimes they forget, they are so enthusiastic that they continue playing and want to achieve even more without controlling what they have achieved.

Yes, I have done that until the time when I was still addicted to gambling, I always did reckless gambling, especially after reading many people who got a big win or Max Win, it increased my motivation and ambition to be eager to get the same win, which made me lose a lot of money, yes I realized and admitted it was stupid gambling, but from that I really learned after all this time I did bad gambling.

I always wish I had the same luck as other people, and finally I realized that luck cannot copy and everyone has their own luck from gambling.

Though I won't say I regret making such gambling moves at that time, because I already knew that it would be risky but just wanted to give luck a trial. Unfortunately I lost the bet. In gambling, we shouldn't always have full confidence on any game as it might be lucky or not we are the ones to bear or enjoy what ever our come it would bear. Still as a gambler, we don't let these little mistakes stop us from doing what we do. It only gave me an experience and something to help control me next time I want to play, never to make stupid or selfish moves. No one is an expert in gambling, they might just be so lucky to win most percent every time they gamble or place bets. We all Learn from these mistakes and then it's up to you if you want to avoid such next time.

You have to look at the bigger picture... a lottery winner is not an expert in gambling, he probably played the lottery every week for many years, and x amount of tickets are involved. So once he won it's not like he was an expert, he just pursued his goals. I guess we can say the same about people who chase crazy big odds in sports betting (I know a few of them), so parlays with 5+ games (sometimes even more) with odds over x100 (and x1k) rarely win, but people who chase it win from time to time. And do we need to mention slots? After losing so many spins (probably losing entire bankrolls as well) people hit something nice and big, at least some people. So people share their big wins, but you need to ask yourself how they got there... it sometimes happens that someone who bets for the first time wins a lot of money, but this rarely happens.


I made a lot of reckless bets in my life... well it changes my gambling style for a while, that's certain, but sooner or later I come back to my gambling styles. And yes, thise bet make me a bit uncomfortable, but I chill it out pretty fast. There's no point in regreting about the spoiled milk.

Luck cannot be imitated, when we see the stories of other people with a very high win ratio and bring home very large sums of money from bets made at the casino it is indeed very desirable, but that does not mean we can follow in their footsteps in a very reckless manner, taking steps to always test bets and hope to get the same extraordinary victory is a stupid act, anyone will definitely lose more money if the mindset is like that.

That is a mistake, never respond to other people's stories in a bad way like that because it will make us lose more money because we want the victory to be with us, ambition is fine, hope is fine but never until we lose control because of other people's stories, because that is a very fatal mistake and can destroy someone's finances.
I've also done that, but fortunately only spent money on my wallet and as soon as I realized that I was gambling carelessly and I chose to stop immediately and think maybe my luck was on another day, not everything I have to get in one night, we don't know the other person's story before they get a big win. I'm pretty sure they lost much more than what they got from the win.

it's not that the internet is "full" of reassuring stories of big gambling wins, it's just that it is what gets noticed by a lot of people, if you lurk around forums or platforms that talk about gambling you'll see a lot of stories about losing in gambling.

I am guilty of doing it, this is one of those things that almost every gambler can't avoid doing, there will just come a time when you are gambling that you'll suddenly feel so sure about something when gambling that you'll bet recklessly.

my gambling style changed but it's not because of betting recklessly.

You should have defined what a foolhardy bet is better, because it's not quite clear what you mean. It's quite reasonable why the internet is filled with "success" stories, not only in gambling but also in pretty much every subject, especially if it involves money. No one is going to start posting how much money they've lost or how many times they've failed.

To be honest, I don't recall making a foolhardy bet; I tend to be cautious, and the amount I allocate to gambling is usually specific. Yes, there were times I was more confident, mostly in sports betting, and had bet higher amounts, but fortunately they turned out fine, but that's not something I'm frequently doing.

If we are going to be more focused on the way we see and have gambling appear on us, some certain expectations not being meant could actually be a disappointment on us and that alone could as well be a discouragement on us, we cannot always have it as we have wanted with gambling because its also a kind of dynamic leisure activities in which have to be more focused on pleasure, just as the way we also picture ourself spending money to achieve ang means to being entertained, therefore we must be eager and ready to embrace whatever outcome that we have in gambling.

Yes, I actually made such a bet only once, after I became acquainted with gambling. I decided to bet my entire deposit because I got bored and decided to win very quickly. I don’t know how such stupid thoughts appear, but I did it. Before I decided to do this, I had no fear, but when I pressed and placed it, after that I broke out in a cold sweat and I didn’t even believe that I had done it. To be honest, I didn’t even expect that I could do this, and if they had told me this before, I wouldn’t have believed that I was capable of this. I was just lucky that I won, but after that I never did anything like this, it was as if I was one step beyond the forbidden line. After that, I realized that I didn’t want to experience such emotions anymore and would rather just play as before and not chase quick money. I hope no one will do such things, this was the most stupid action I have ever done in gambling.

Yea, I have actually gambled like that in days when I was just new to gambling and didn't even know how to make predictions myself. I will just pick different clubs and predict what I feel is right, and without asking my friend, I will stake in the game, which usually doesn't turn out to be a good result. It was just crazy to do that because it only takes grace for the game to be successful. I believe it's something that most gamblers have been victims of, just as every gambler has once displayed compulsive gambling symptoms in their gambling lifestyle. 

Initially they just wanted to try their luck at gambling, in the hope of getting the same win as other people, even though they were not yet skilled or experienced in gambling or betting. And that's how gambling traps a person into irresponsible gambling activities, betting irrationally and impulsively. Because if you win then you are addicted and if you lose you become more curious about gambling. If they win they will increase the amount of their bet, in the hope of getting a bigger win than before, and if they lose they will place another bet in the hope that the loss they experienced can be replaced in the next betting session. They continue to gamble non-stop, until without realizing it, they are truly trapped in a cycle of irresponsible gambling, and accumulate a lot of losses.

If you want to act based on the number of huge wins that are on social media, you wills start thinking that gambling is easy, whereas most of those people must have lost a huge amount of money before they won that big. Some of them have even lost more than they win.

Gambling wins comes naturally and it is not by someone motivating you, if not you will end up running at big loss because your luck and the other person own is not the same. This is why after a big loss way back, I hardly get carried away with people's win. I only do use it to have hope that someday I might be lucky.

Absolutely not.
allowing yourself to be influenced in these choices is very risky. not being an expert in a certain game or betting method is a serious mistake.
I believe it is ultimately useless to chase the big jackpot. Yes, if you win, its fine.
but placing bets only for this type of winnings is really a big problem that at the end lead to a big loss.

Gradually I'd say. I was pretty reckless with money a couple of years ago. I was in college, then the pandemic happened, and I already knew about crypto so I managed to make a pretty big buck on my own. After that, well, I ended up gambling it and since it was money that wasn't really from a job, it was kind of value-less to me? Or it's just that I had close to zero idea about the value it had, so I splurged it. It was only after a couple of months, to a year that I realized how dumb I was becoming about money, so I reined in myself.

I didn't even win anything big backthen lol.

We only see those big winnings from this stories that we hear from the internet. But never did we hear people saying they've lost millions, unless they are recovering addicts already. So yeah, those so called influencers are not for real.


You're right, every gamblers have been in this kind of situation not once but many times and they keep on repeating the same mistakes.


From my years of experience in gambling, no, didn't change at all, I'm still that kind of gamblers wherein our decisions are impaired specially if we are losing huge money in one sitting and we wanted to recover what we have lost already. The feeling is not good and so our mind is foggy and we are all impaired to make the right decisions.

Therefore, we should not be easily provoked by the winnings that people get on social media because this will lead us to the losses that we will experience if we gamble carelessly so that we can win like those people so that we can share our experiences. our gambling on social media is like these people, people rarely upload their losses when gambling and prefer to show off their wins on social media because if they upload their losses on social media it will only make them losers, but I'm sure the wins they achieve won't be as big as the losses that they have experienced so far in gambling.

We should not be easily tempted by other people's wins, maybe we also want to experience big wins but know that big wins require big sacrifices by betting large amounts. If we are not able to react to it well and just carelessly make sacrifices you will only experience losing due to gambling with maximum profits also requires a truly effective strategy and must not be careless.

Foolhardy bets are a common pitfall in gambling. The internet does glamorize the big wins, but the reality for most gamblers is quite different. I think many of us have made those reckless bets at some point. I’ve experienced the rush of a big loss due to a poorly thought-out wager. It was a humbling moment that made me reassess my approach to gambling. Instead of making me more eager, it made me more cautious and strategic. It was a valuable lesson in understanding my limits and the importance of skill and knowledge in gambling.

As for me, when I gamble I don't think that I need to make a lot of money from gambling, I don't have such a mindset that is formed in my mind, all I really want is to play and have fun, now if I get lucky while playing, thank you, that's it.

I have never experienced anything that makes me regret the amount I bet in a casino to be honest, because like the advice of others you should only have a limited or sufficient amount of money to lose playing gambling.

Well, then I will tell you my story.

Moving towards a roulette table one day, I found an attractive blond that  had never seen before in casino.I  had as usual two or three drinks before starting my gambling, and probably because of that  and desire to make impression on this blond,  made three  bets in the raw on zero,  all three lost and my pockets were allmost empty.

After that devastating night  I am always remaining abstemious  regarding to both alcohol and blonds when gambling. ;)

Foolhardy bets don't change my gambling style. Moreover, I don't want to do foolhardy bets again because it causes me to suffer losses. I'm not an expert in gambling and just an ordinary user who doesn't gamble very often.

Maybe there are those out there who are more passionate about gambling but they should think twice about not using gambling as a place to earn money. They also don't need to use a lot of money or bet with a lot of money because that could cause them to lose a lot of money. Some people can win from gambling but there will be more people who lose.

That's why people don't need to be more enthusiastic about gambling. They should be able to use gambling only for entertainment. You must know that you must be responsible with yourself when playing gambling.

Yes, I highly agree with you, it's just waste of ones time and money to chase big jackpots. I know some of us can be very lucky and might win such jackpots in our lives but such type of winning requires a lot of luck and money. I believe instead of chasing those jackpots one should do his/her research well and place bets on sports events which could be profitable if research is good.

What you say, I'm sure most gamblers have experienced something that had a fatal impact on their gambling. In fact, it is often done repeatedly. whether it is purely the result of a mistake, or purely due to the emotion of anger that controls our thoughts and the bets we make. So, this point for the word "reckless" can be repeated by gamblers. yeah, it all depends on the conditions and situation. As for what changed my gambling style, it was a long time ago. In short, in the past I gambled without thinking and most importantly was satisfied. the problem of losing, that is the umpteenth part that I think about. Now especially as I get older and more experienced, I see gambling differently. The point is, learn from the experience and essence that I get from the gambling that I do.  We don't need to discuss winning or losing in this post, because that is an inseparable part of gambling. However, it is more about how we can always be safe when gambling. The meaning of safety that we are discussing is so that we are not affected by something problematic. There are many risks involved, but most gamblers ignore them.

With experience, I changed the style of gambling that I do.  In the past, where I thought about how to get money and fun from gambling. Nowadays, how can I have fun without having to sacrifice a lot of things. for example, know that the money we spend is purely side money or what we have budgeted for which will not interfere with other, even more important, needs. more importantly, as I've changed it, the importance of responsibility and the importance of awareness. Unfortunately, without discipline, everything will not work as it should. However, in practice it is not as easy as I said. So, every time we bet, it is something new and we must be able to discipline the rules we make for gambling.

Haha, I bet you did make an impression! Was it a dealer at the roulette table or just some random attendant who was also playing? I wouldn't be surprised at that point if it's done deliberately. That was a deadly combination; alcohol, along with the presence of an attractive woman, can easily influence your behavior and make moves than you otherwise wouldn't. I personally haven't been in a physical casino, so I can't relate; thus, I haven't ever been lured by a female, but have suffered the consequences of alcohol somewhere similar.

I believe your example was a decent explanation of what a foolhardy bet is!

It's very natural that when you start gambling, you do random gambling like that because you may not know about analysis before making a bet and there are also lots of choices if we want to place a bet on a club. When I started gambling, I was quite confused and tried things that I didn't know but of course by trying small bets just to understand what is meant so that we can broaden our insight into gambling in the future. Beginner gamblers who don't like asking questions to other people usually always try it themselves but if they understand they will eventually have the knowledge they have so they can start Bet seriously and not carelessly so you can make a profit.

This is not something stupid because seeing other people win makes us also want to win and want to try it, but basically winning at gambling is not easy to achieve, so why should we be affected by other people's wins, and we can't change our fate if we rely on gambling. It's better to master the game and gamble responsibly so as not to be careless or make stupid bets.

Yes, I think it's a common behavior among new groups. In that early stage, a new gambler can always get confused about analysis, how to know the clubs with the best players, getting to know how many points the club has, their next match, and the club they are going head to head with, and when a new gambler cannot wrap their head around all this area before they can make a possible prediction, it becomes a problem for them, and the person can just decide to make a foolhardy bet. 


Most newbie is mostly concerned about winning than practicing, they just want to make the quick profit that other gamblers has made without realizing that it is quite difficult to archive it by foolhardy bet. You must understand how the system work before you can hope for luck while applying your strategies too.

The carelessness that occurred in my gambling changed my habits. I used to think that if I bet a large amount at once I would win a large amount according to the odds, it turns out that was just not a good choice.

When playing slots, rarely play normally with large bets but always play by buying free spins. This is not effective because maxwin is not always obtained through the buy free spin feature. Now, I'm not like that anymore. 2/1 or 3/2 means buying 1 free spin and 2 times playing normally.
In sports betting, I have changed my skills. As in soccer betting, there is no longer any ambition in chasing the total odds.

Gambling just enjoy.

Even after making such reckless decision in gambling and experiencing huge losses I do not believe that it will really affect the gambling style of a gambler permanently because human beings are very quick to forget. The loss may affect them temporarily and force them to make changes to their gambling habit but within a week or two or after a short while they often forget and may go back and remake the same mistakes.
If it is a random individual on the Internet, you may not easily be influenced and can shake off the feeling but, you will be more influenced as a gambler to try more gambling when we see that someone close to us wins a bet. A friend or a family member.

There was one moment where I experienced this when I had a bad connection to the Internet but forced to play crashes which in the end the bet I did was lost without a remainder and stupidly I did it several times because of the ambition to restore the balance that was previously lost even though my connection was bad and I tried to force this :D

This is the stupidest thing I have ever done in gambling but indeed for now I think of it as silly and always a joke for my friends who know it and the good side is that we can actually be more aware that in the end forcing something that is not really possible it will not work so with the experience I did, for now I am more careful and pay more attention to several aspects because in the game everything must always be good not only in the mood of other things as support such as the Internet as well as feeling must be better so that we are not easily trapped in gambling that is done.

I do this sometimes when I’m having a good time with dealer when playing live table games. I frequently do some unique move such as risky double down and increasing my bets just to impress the dealer with my profit due to his good luck.

My approach is the opposite of what OP doing as suicide bet just to impress since a dealer will be more happy if you are winning rather than losing it all on an almost impossible odds to win.

I never play roulette but betting on straight zero is a thing that I don’t consider to do in roulette or any straight bet because it’s very to win with a lot of choices available.

Well they say experience is the best so I can relate this to your thread because I believe I have made some reckless gambling actions and it took time before I was able to realize myself but for me the damage wasn't all that big but to different person they just restructure their gambling habits and time so it can be more efficient while others say they completely stop the act but mine was adapting to a particular pattern in which I now stake only twice a week with a fixed amount of funds and if that funds exhaust, then its probably going be till the next gaming week.

I think perhaps almost all gamblers have done something careless in gambling, but only in certain situations, for example experiencing continuous losses every time you place a bet, this makes a gambler's emotions run high and in the end they make mistakes such as wanting revenge and betting without thinking. to lose again because they hope that by doing this they will get good luck at the end of the game. Changes in playing style often occur in gambling and only a few gamblers are able to control themselves when placing bets.

I'm 100% sure that all gamblers have experienced reckless bets, It is part of the game it is hard not to have one, in a platform of uncertainty there's always a temptation to take risks you will have one or more reckless bets knowingly or unknowingly.

Somewhat yes but I still welcome reckless bets because it is what makes the game exciting I just make it a point not to lose a lot of money because that will surely hurt my gambling experience so from having fun you will be depressed.

It's part of the game just don't make to many bets like this and if you do then you should ok with the outcome or results.

Usually beginner gamblers don't know anything about gambling so they gamble carelessly. Even when I was a beginner, I also felt this and this is normal. And it can be used as experience for us to continue to understand gambling and try to do no longer carelessly as a responsible gambler for sure already know the important points to avoid and the important points to apply. Irresponsible gamblers usually tend to be careless because all they have in mind is catching up on their previous losses and continuing to gamble by trying to do lots of tricks in the sense of doing various things to recover their losses.

If you want to change any style of gambling, if you don't have luck, you still won't be able to win because gambling requires real luck. The most important thing is to be able to control yourself so that gambling isn't done carelessly because gambling involves real money, so it's better to be really serious and not careless the reason is because gambling also requires concentration, not just placing a bet and then ignoring it.

I think should  someone, no matter whether he is novice or experienced gambler,   get immensely bad losing streak he/she will turn into common gambler who shows his emotion. To be an impassive gambler all the time at win or lose is almost impossible unless you are tight as a drum.

Sure, one should never reveal  his emotions to others  ,  but this is mostly true when gambling inside physical shops. But if he/she shows them in front of  his/her  display ( when gambling online in home) the latter will  remain as imperturbable as Buddha.  :)

People show emotions when they are losing too much amount of money. Although, people will be very happy and excited if they are winning but that is not the emotion that they are referring to while doing something risky like trading or gambling. It is about losses. The best way not to have such emotion, especially when losing is to use small amount of money to gamble. In casinos, you can gamble as low as $0.5 on many games, while small amount of money can be used in sport betting. But many gamblers will show emotions because they are looking for money through gambling.

I faced this sort of scenario after doing a lot of football gambling. In football you will quite often find low multipliers like 2 or 3, and you become accustomed to seeing these low numbers. After doing that for a while I was drawn into horse racing odds one day and those odds can start to look astronomical in comparison. I went in big with some horse racing bets and soon realized that the "favorites" often failed to win, walking away with some losses after learning that lesson. The best way to help this scenario is to start small and do it consistently, that way you could build up a feel for how a new type of betting style will work - instead of going in with a mass of bets and losing all of them.

If you will lose a lot of money , they have to pay all the bills but if you lose all your salary then that is uncomfort for them . Always remain in your limit and never exceed your limit.

 Your family is your life and do not take any bad step that will be dangerous for them . And play safe inning and always involve in low risk betting. you should bet in your limit. And if you don't, then you will find yourself in a predicament from which it is very difficult to get out .

You need to know that gambling is indeed a reckless act or activity, no matter how good a person is at gambling or betting, carelessness and mistakes will always happen, That's a natural law in the world of gambling, but if that happens we will automatically change our betting style and instead be eager to do it again.

Different from those who gamble without having skill or strategy, perhaps it could be said that it is a stupid bet, but that is not always the case for those who think professionally, they will correct the causes of losses and be willing to improve themselves in gambling, so that experience can be a basic confession for those who act stupidly in gambling.

The key to engagement with gambling has always been about setting boundaries and nothing else, because no matter what, gambling will always be a risky activity regardless of whether you are an experienced gambler or a beginner. And we can see that there are quite a few gamblers who have gone downhill as a result of always trying to make gambling as a place to earn, or as a result of betting too large amounts in the hope of getting a big win.

On the other hand maybe gambling by taking too high a level of risk will not always end in a painful situation because there will always be one situation that makes you win when luck comes at the right time, but if the habit is done in the long run then obviously that will cause many disasters to come, so if you are too curious then there is nothing wrong with gambling with a high level of risk but make sure that you do it only once and only for an experiment, the rest is still betting not to exceed the limits.

That is the greatness of the internet which is utilized well by the host in creating and organizing strategies or tricks to attract someone's sympathetic attention to enter the world of gambling.
That is, as the OP said, by making up stories to convince someone of winning big when gambling, these stories actually need to be looked at again and we also have to be careful whether the facts are true or not because it is impossible for gamblers to easily get big wins. just like that, maybe previously he often lost and the process of winning was very difficult and unpredictable.

Yes, making reckless bets may have happened once or twice, even several times, it's definitely here, because behavior like that will arise by itself, especially if someone is addicted to gambling, then obviously he will often make lots of mistakes as a result of not being able to control his bad behavior. that wisely and responsibly.
And if this carelessness will definitely make our hearts shudder and regret because we have done something inappropriate and it is possible that he will be even more careful in carrying out the action so that it doesn't happen again.

I guess we all would have placed some foolish bets at some point of time in our gambling journey.
For me it has happened multiple times when I just decided to go all in and placed a bet with whatever balance I had in my account.
I have lost it every time I have done that and to be honest, it hasn't made any changes in my gambling style.
Everything is pretty much the same as it was before.

I don't bet a lot, because I don't have much time to bet, but if I had or when I had it, I would.

Remembering that I think gambling should be considered fun and not a new source of income.

It's tempting to hear from my co-workers that they won absurd amounts of money enough to buy 2 cars, others don't earn absurd amounts like that, but as soon as they win a considerable amount, they bet on the prize acquired and end up losing almost all the profit.

The most I did was trade in the futures market with crypto, using low leverage, as I only do this once in a while, so my habit hasn't changed. When I do this, depending on the amount if it is relatively large, yes, I get anxious.

Even here on the forum, I see a lot of posts where people write about their winnings, which are quite beautiful numbers, but in the end, for some reason, some complaints appear against the casino, and the person does not receive this winning. I say this because it is unlikely that people have to win often since we understand that any big win is taken under the attention of the casino itself, and incidents can happen, such as a double account or some other cheating.
If we talk about myself, I’m probably too greedy to risk large sums and bet them all on one game. I'd rather set aside some money so that I won't be stressed about losing, and while I love champagne, I don't like to take risks. ;)

Yups sure, especially if you or anyone has been involved in gambling for a long time in the sense that there have been many things and events that you have experienced intentionally or unintentionally and also surely most of them have done some stupid actions that make no sense on the basis of curiosity or experimentation, like what you did by spending all the balance you have in your gambling account at once, and I'm sure you are quite curious about the results when making such decisions, but yes I can't say that the idea will always end up hurting, because I have also done actions like what you said, namely spending all the money in my wallet, I did it out of curiosity and a lucky experiment, I did it on purpose and one of the reasons why I dared to do it was because tomorrow was my payday so losing money with such a stupid decision would not make me experience financial difficulties, but yes, the results were unexpected where I actually won haha, nothing strange because that's gambling. On the other hand, I think a change in gambling style will only happen if the gambler has an excessive obsession with gambling.

It is difficult to see a gambler who had not yielded to the calling of greed and have acted irrationally and receive some terrible lessons. I have lost count of how many times I went all in or gamble with outrageous amount of money that I ended up experiencing painful loss. I have, on many occasions, used money meant for something else in betting what I thought was a sure bet and lost it all. I see all these mistakes as the learning process. I'm a little matured now in gambling, I make rules and keep them and I avoid excessive gambling.... these were only possible because I learnt the hard way.

It can happen mostly when you newly started gambling, after losing so much money, you can just get bored and frustrated at the same time and you might just decide to do what ever your mind tells you to do without giving any second thought to what you are doing. At that moment it doesn't matter to you whether you know what you are doing of not, you have submit your self to 100% luck and not any form of common sense application. It happen to me when I first started gambling some years back.

I mean, in a manner of speaking, yes. I have changed my gambling style to be more on the high-roller side of things, but not because I am a doomer who wants to end it all in one fell swoop when I'm gambling. It's just that I find these types of bets even more fun and exhilarating considering the fact that I put more on the line than if I had made bets little by little. And it's not like I'm losing a lot too, since I'm using a strategy that would ensure I don't lose as much money as I would've, besides the fact that I have a separate wallet/finance when gambling, with a really tight budget to boot.

So yeah, I gamble and put more money on the line cause it's just that much fun, the adrenaline rush I get whenever I gamble and the prospect of losing/gaining that much money in a single bet is just that amazing to me, makes me really lock in and become more invested when I gamble, which at the end, ultimately makes me feel more fulfilled when gambling, cause I find that when I gamble little by little I don't feel as much fun and satisfied as when I make massive bets.

I used to bet on basketball a lot of times and think that the ones who are performing better against all other teams will not win against teams with average performance. Back then, I do not take into account injuries when betting in basketball. I never even dare look at the lineups and I just based everything on recent performance and H2H thinking that that's all I needed to pick a winning bet. Little did I know that lineups and injuries matter AND can change even a few hours before the game. Since them, I switched up my analysis and included these little details before locking the bet. I even carried the same logic over to other sports when I found out that they were highly important.

Nowadays I tried laying low in sports betting and focused on casino games. It's not the most profitable thing per se but it doesn't require much thinking apart from knowing when to stop :D

True, I think what you said is indeed a fact that happens and is experienced by most gamblers when they are in that situation, it is true that situations full of desperation can make a gambler take actions that are too reckless or stupid such as betting all the money they have which sometimes they also don't care about the results, but one of the reasons why they take these actions is because usually desperation and decision making based on emotions always want satisfaction without thinking about the possible risks that will occur and this action also more often leads them to regret when they realize it.

And yes it is true that the only thing that can help them in these situations is luck, in the sense that it does not mean that they will completely lose because if it turns out that luck comes at the right time then it will help them and lead them to victory, but the problem is not over, because usually even if luck comes and helps you then you will not necessarily be able to ignore the greed in your mind to continue the gambling session.

When someone has lost a lot of money on the bets they play, of course it will be difficult for them to control their emotions and when they have won, of course they will be happy and limit the amount of bets. I think this is very good because when we experience defeat on the bets we play, we won't. It becomes a big problem, like when we place large bets, choosing to bet on many games will be very fun if we can win one of the bets we place and for some people who gamble emotionally, it will of course be very difficult for them to win the bet. they play and they will lose a lot, because most of them who are emotional when gambling will gamble with greed.

I agree with what you have posted except this one. Although, some gamblers would win just little amount of money and be satisfied with it and stop gambling but most gamblers may not stop gambling while some people that are addicted or looking for ways use gambling to look for money will gamble more until they will lose all their money. I have seen a gambler that would win money and continue to gamble until he lost everything.

Some gamblers can use their winnings wisely to buy other needs, you can check the gambling thread, but relatively gamblers don't follow the correct way to manage money from their winnings correctly and wisely, they only think about how to increase their next winnings by placing higher bets . They will realize they have made a mistake after losing everything in a bet, even though they have done it but the same case will happen again when they have won another bet, their mind has been affected by a serious gambling addiction, they have to overcome it before another bad thing happens due to irresponsible gambling .

Read on this thread I made lately last about if Do you believe in gambling expert Predictions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5479905.msg63420196#msg63420196)?
Right there it practically discussed that there is no amount of a gambler being to experienced and lucky to win in the gambling that is worth of the gambling to boast that they are gambling experts that can always stand the chances of predicting 100% games at all their games. Absolutely impossible so OP, the social media is only a gambling field where gambling various gambling companies advertises their gambling sites.

It could be followed by using celebrities or role models to influence the audience in claim that such a gambling site has potential easy winning if only you would follow bet on their site using their directives.
Those are all lies but common marketing skills because there is no gambling expert and not even the gamblers skills that could assure him such huge amount of prize of winning according to the media speculation.

My betting style is still all over the place so I can't say it had an impact, but those bad decisions did encourage me to change by spending less and taking things more casually. Most of us would eventually experience countless losses, so we might as well do our best to take a step back and do something about it. We've heard stories about problem gamblers putting themselves in a worse financial situation, and going through the same situation is the last thing we want to experience.

Without denial, I have one way fall into the category of those who had reckless gambling in the past, in the process to get back their losses. But as time turned by and the level of experience, I began to ponder and realize that not all gamblers who had lost in gambling get it back. For those who had won big from gambling do end up losing back their big wins to gambling. However, no better move for one to take as a gambler than learning how to bet with less money. As Oshosondy will always advise, a gambler should have a betting budget of 3-5% of their salary. By doing that, they wouldn't feel pained if they experience losses or go above their limits on bets

Well this is a great topic and yes, making foolhardy bets sometimes happens. The problem about them is that if they hit, they could then be misleading positive results for future bets. The thing is that a foolhardy bet is not necessarily a losing bet. That's where it is to important to realize that what someone did was foolish despite winning. But sometimes it is exactly these bets that have enormous payouts.

Though you are certainly right that over a longer period of time it would be a losing game to play. But on the other hand I think that all the knowledge and analysis in the world doesn't give you guaranteed wins either. You were talking about skills and while I believe there can be skill involved in gambling, I still have my doubts that some people turn it into a profession and can live off of it for many years. I am not talking about guys who get lucky gambling for three months and then let everyone know they would be professionals. I would rather like to see someone who can prove that professional gambling worked out for a few years as that would eliminate the luck factor if someone can have net positive results while paying attention to bank roll management etc. When someone says it, I am sceptical whether it is true or not.

I was foolish in betting on a team then switching to their opposition for their next game in a series because of how easily they had at first won.  Sadly they then lost just as easily as they had just won, it was very confusing that in each case the teams knew what to do to counter their opponent.

They were erratic but funnily enough well matched and I bet the wrong way in both cases basically,  had I just stuck with original choices better thought out for a bet in both games I would have just broken even pretty much.

I did hedge a bit via live betting because I recognized my mistake midway but it was not profitable for sure.  Being in a fluster is rarely a profitable outcome, you lag behind everyone else for starters.

Not exactly the worst just an honest mistake but also it would have been better to close while watching the actual game with a live bet seeing chaos compared to what I had envisioned.
  Just closing the bet early on to watch neutral, learning from my mistake(s) was the choice I could and should have made.

I know a few gamblers and it's usually the other way round. People who win big become more reckless. They feel they're lucky or at least have some "free money" to lose. Money that nobody will blame them for losing. It's gamblers who lose a lot the ones that find it much easier to quit. They fee so depressed that they don't want to go to the casino anymore to avoid that feeling of depression. There's a few people I know who always came back to play after a win, but most of them quit completely after a big loss.

Every time I lose, I become more cautious with my betting. Sometimes we make mistakes by thinking that a bet is a lock, and because we think that way, we become aggressive in terms of the amount we risk. Sadly, most of the time, it ends up as a losing bet. I realized that we should not put too much emotion into gambling; it's a game of numbers. Be responsible with managing your bankroll and aim to have more wins than losses. Follow the steps with discipline and, combined with skills in sports capping, we will eventually be profitable in the long run.

It's okay to think we are an expert because it gives us confidence but we should stick with the right strategy particularly in managing your funds since if winning streak possible, losing streak is possible as well.

I would refuse to consider the general gambling in such way and philosophize on this matter.

Real gambling involves  logic, creativity, powers of observation, self-improvement  (you name it)     which in turn stimulates both sites (right and left) of the human brain thus increasing its "supercomputing" potential to make  hard decisions when needed.

losing at gambling is a normal thing, especially when someone is just starting out at gambling, it seems that most of the gamblers make mistakes that result in their losses. the most important thing is how we respond to this and not think too much about the loss, let alone gambling continuously to be able to chase the loss, that is quite careless and it could lead to addiction. it would be better for gamblers to respond more wisely and not gamble excessively when they lose. taking a break can be done so that gamblers can reduce the potential for even worse losses.

Yes, that's a normal thing. But if we loses is because we place a bet for fool thing, that's not suggested because that can makes one of us who playing gambling becomes angry or sad. That will effect to the relationship if we bet with our  friends. But if they already thinks about the loss and can accepts if one of them wins and will not feels bad, they can bet together. Even if their bet is their salary in a month, that will not be a problem for them. But it's better to becomes a wise person and always thinks that gambling is just for fun and not to be too serious so they don't have to feels bad when they loses and can enjoy their time with their friends. It needs awareness to accept the lose, even if they doing fools bet so there's nothing to worry if one of them loses because they can accept the outcomes.

Starters supposed to win more. It is either because of beginners luck or it was only the casino making them believe that making money at them is so easy.

You already said that losing is a normal thing, so it is not about making a mistake and I believe there is no such thing as mistakes but all actions are intended and the money spend is not wasted but the person do also earn a benefit including a lesson if they regrated their actions. No it's not the loss that they are thinking but it was the win and if only they will think about losses, this is the time that they will stop and there is no guarantees for them to return in the gambling arena again.

Yes, there are a huge number of stories when a person won a jackpot or a large amount of money in a lottery or something similar. It's always interesting to listen to, but there is another side to this coin. For every person who won big, there are thousands (these are approximate figures from the head) of people who were defeated and lost their money. This is called the "survivor effect." That is, we pay attention only to success stories. But you should always remember that losing in gambling is easier than winning.
I have made a reckless bet in my life that resulted in me losing money. But in that case it was my own fault; my carelessness led to this. After that incident, my strategy changed. I don't make reckless bets anymore :)

The opportunities and possibilities that exist in gambling will never look at a gambler, meaning that if you are an ordinary gambler and have no special ties to the casino behind the scenes then of course you will have the same opportunities and possibilities as other gamblers regardless of whether you are a beginner gambler or even a professional, and what we must understand from the beginning as a beginner is that we must understand that the name of the opportunity is nothing more than a “possibility” and the risk of losing is a “certainty” that can never be avoided in any way.

This means that if we do not want to experience problems or adverse effects of gambling then obviously the first step that must be prepared is “the right understanding”, because of course as we know that gambling will only be at high risk when we treat it in the wrong way which tends to be excessive, but if we gamble by bringing an approach that refers to many restrictions such as resting at the right time as you said then we will not experience too significant adverse effects such as experiencing large amounts of loss that can cause problems in our real lives.

Have you seen someone involved in such a practice? Ask them why they did it, and you might likely get a similar response. For example,  someone who's just new to gambling might tell you they never knew what to do, so they just decided to shake things up. An experienced gambler may not be practicing this again, but I bet some of them did it in the past, probably for the same reason we are discussing. Like for me, when I did it, I didn't just understand anything much about sports betting, so what I did then was without any idea of the right steps, and I was just 100% submissive to luck. 

If someone makes reckless bets once or twice in their lifetime, then that is not so much of a big problem, but if you make reckless bets often, then you are closer to financial crisis than a winning ticket. I try my best not to gamble recklessly and it is important for every gambler to learn that they have to be responsible in how they gamble.

Yes, maybe it is a normal situation, especially for a beginner in gambling who does not know much about what can be done and what actions should be avoided in gambling, at least once or twice is still considered normal, but as you said that if the action is done frequently or more than 10x or even consistently every time they run a session then obviously it has become a bad habit that threatens various aspects of his life.

One of them is the destruction of balance in terms of finance is the first problem that they will definitely experience, and because of this why it is always recommended to know, understand and realize what activities you are doing, because by understanding or realizing that gambling is one of the activities that are high risk then I think it is less likely for them to always dare to take actions that are too reckless.

It's not just about gambling responsibility, gambling excessively, chasing losses, and making only the common mistakes among gamblers. If you are a foolhardy bettor, then you don't care if you lose or win; that means you are tired of losing and to spice things up in a blindfold and do it in whatever way that doesn't matter to you, you don't care much what the result will be. It could turn out that you will only realize yourself yourself and may regret it when it is too late. If you are an addicted and foolhardy gambler, there's a problem because you are not even gambling with your skill or any strategy; you are submissive to only luck and may end up not being lucky. At that point, if you bet 10 times, you may end up losing all.



It is not written in any rules that Begginers to gambling usually win more than old gambler. Gambling just depends on luck and the knowledge you have about the game you are gambling on. A newbie can actually loss repeatedly before even winning later on. Even if casino makes anyone to think that they can win heavily, it is still the duty of the gambler to bear in mind that winning in gambling is not guarantee rather losses is what is mostly witnessed.

There is no such thing as every person winning in gambling, all games have profit and loss.  Because you see the old gamblers are mostly the ones who complete more experience and succeed, but the only new gamblers are the ones most people face. Because those who are more experienced always win but sometimes they can't win when addiction happens. Basically gambling depends on addiction, the more addicted a person is the more losses they face. And many new gamblers who are not fully experienced are currently becoming experienced, but it is not possible for every gambler to be experienced because there are many stupid gamblers.

I am always happy when I read a thing like this because it often reminds me that I am a better person/gambler because I do not take anything to the extreme, and neither am I moved by what I read online or what anyone tells me. I am always focused and follow my mind so that when I lose, I take the blame 100% confidently as it is my idea and not anybody else's idea.

Mind you, I have never taken any reckless betting before. The time I would have thought to do a thing like that was done with a very low amount of money, so I can't still call that reckless. However, whenever I want to take a big risk, I am never reckless and I weigh my options carefully well even as it is in sports betting that such a thing happens.

But fine, there are times we would lose that chill and want to risk big, nevertheless, my experience in trading has taught me self-control in that regard.

There are still winners, however more often they experience losses because basically gambling is a game of chance that is intended for people who dare to take risks and want to test how much luck they get, not only for experienced gamblers. Of course, even new gamblers can win if they are lucky, but experienced gamblers already understand the strategy they are playing so sometimes they can win more often depending on their skills, especially in mathematics or sports, and those who are experienced play skill-based gambling.

It is true that if an experienced person has experienced an addiction, the experienced person experiences more losses than wins, therefore, as a new gambler, you should not be careless by making careless bets and following experienced people, they must learn many things to avoid bad things that will happen they experience gambling, especially if they are too happy and end up becoming addicted and end up making stupid bets where they always experience a lot of losses.

Sometimes reckless players do crazy things and that can make a big impression on novice players who partly want to try to copy certain behaviors so that in the future they will be like those role models, but I insist on something, one as a person must know very well that when it comes to betting one has to have a high financial culture to be able to do things well, otherwise it is very difficult, if there is no financial culture the person can lose everything at a given moment and be left with empty pockets and that is not something that is abnormal, it is very common for it to happen and that is what must be avoided.

They are gamblers who exemplify the crazy things they do to beginners. Of course they want what they feel to be felt by other people. Of course I think this is very not good because I have never seen those who can win at most of the gambling they do and even if there is a win, it is measured in terms of money. What they have spent is certainly not comparable to the victory they can get.
Choosing to gamble with the money we all bring is of course a very bad thing for a gambler to do and usually those who do that are of course already addicted to gambling, I agree with you it would be better if we could avoid things like that.

I think one of the things we shouldn't do is follow 100% the recommendations that influencers give to play, those who follow them are very given to doing fanciful things, for me influencers are people who first get paid for the game they create, sometimes there are influencers who give advice to make very big bets to win big first and that's not good, because if there is a lot of money willing to spend without damaging our daily life, well okay, it is accepted, but otherwise I do not recommend it, and many people get carried away by what they see on social networks.

Shake things up in a foolish manner such that the gambler will just expect any result from their bet? That's not really an impressive gambling habit that a gambler should put on because gambling is already risky, such that a gambler cannot accurately predict the right outcome of their bet.

That is why they must make sure to at least apply good gambling knowledge or strategy so that they know that they stand a better chance of being lucky than gambling in a foolhardy way that makes them lose more often.

Although gambling strategy doesn't guarantee gambling success all the time but yeah, it is better   to have a good knowledge about gambling or apply what ever strategy the gambler knows about than just being a foolhardy gambler. Like you already said, gambling is very risky because the results are usually not known until after your bet and that's the reason why gamblers are not also advised to see gambling as a source of income. I have said it before that a foolhardy gambling will lose more because they don't carefully analyze the game.

What you say is very true, in any case I think that if we completely follow what other people do it will certainly not have a big influence on the results we get and when we gamble using other people's advice it is certainly impossible for us to be able to enjoy the games we play and if We lose when betting using other people's advice, of course this is very disappointing and when we bet in our own way and lose then it is not a problem because what we do is based on our own desires.

I agree with you that if they are influencers, people get paid from the games they suggest to other people, so they make predictions that are profitable for themselves and the people who follow them will of course get a loss for the losses they get when following the advice of the influencer.

Influencers will always want to give advice and advice to get more community, more audience, but personally there is something we must be clear about , there are some players who can suddenly capitalize quickly, but why? And that happens in trading too, sometimes they make bets and win, then they use the compound interest Strategy, and if they are lucky they capitalize quickly because they quickly reach $1k, $2k and even $5k, so in this case some people take the risk and have money, and not because of the recommendation of an influencer but because they decide to do it that way, of course it is risky, but to do something like that I think one Would have to have a good Cushion to withstand the losses.

Talking about strategies for gambling can be said to be simple, as a gambler to minimize losses or gamble in a stupid way, gambling when there is free time and not burdening our minds when gambling is something that must be done when gambling, not pursuing victory or financial gain when gambling is also part of the strategy in gambling, because we know that gambling can be said to be more defeat than victory, do not pursue things like that. that basic thing that should be done for a gambler so as not to be said to be a stupid gambler,
