I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount  they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

What are your thoughts?

It's just like waking up every morning before you leave for your daily job. You have a target to meet that particular day, and even when you appear exhausted, you will still want to push yourself harder in order for that target to be achieved.
 
That's the same way I picture gamblers who have a specific winning amount target set, just the same way some of us set our wager limit. If they don't hit that number, they will always keep trying over and over again until they eventually lose what they even managed to win.

OP, don't you dream of winning the jackpot? I think that everyone who sits down to gamble has in mind to win as much as possible. But not everyone can stop in time, and here a problem arises for the latter. There is a saying: "You can want a lot, but alas, it is difficult to be able to do everything." Therefore, you can collect your capital received from gambling in slow steps, so that after each game you come out with a winner, you need to stop in time.

Depends. If the goal you set yourself is realistic, you won't have any problems. However, if you go to the casino with $100 and you expect to walk out with $100,000 because you think it's the only solution to your miserable life, it's easier when you lose the $100 to take out another $100, or $1,000 or borrow it or whatever.

Those gamblers wants to win so they take gambling seriously and still playing gambling until they can win. Even if they win, they will not reduce or even stop their gambling because their greediness becomes big and want to win more.
That will be dangerous for them as that can makes them use more and more money without they realizes. They will even difficult to know that what they do is wrong and will not think to reduce their money.
We don't know what is in their minds that thinks gambling can gives money to them. They must realizes that they will difficult to win and will suffer because of their losses.

Maybe because of the excessive greed and addiction of gamblers, they gamble with the amount of winnings in mind. Basically the gambler who has this tendency is greedy and suddenly wants to get a lot of money.

When a gambler gambles with the tendency to win, he will not look at losing. He will not hesitate to take loan for gambling, then his only goal will be to win from gambling and even get a lot of money. Which will lead him to more danger. There are many who sell their properties in hopes of hitting the gambling jackpot. It is never possible for them to dream while awake and as a result most of them end up in debt and are forced to come back from gambling.

Personally, I don't gamble this way and I won't advice anyone to do that cause you might just be putting yourself in a heartbreaking situation, gambling is always a 50/50 outcome, planning or being sure to win a certain amount of money simply means that you are putting in a lot of expectations...most of the bets I have won were games that I didn't even take seriously, I just played for fun and just totally forgot that I placed a bet, they turned out to be successful...When it comes to gambling you must always reduce your expectations

I personally always play with a winning amount in mind although not in USD or any other currency,I hope to buy that VW Phaeton car,used one of course which in amount of money is from 3000 to 20000 EUR and that is my thought before starting my session.I always have in mind if not that car some fancy expensive Bora Bora vacations,I always have an objective yet so far I have never reached one of such high objectives.I have gotten near max wins but my bet was low and as such could not fulfill any of my objectives.

It's a big mistake to think they will make money from gambling, if they want to make money, they should learn new skill and being consistent with it, after 5-10 years, you will make it.

Don't expect too much in gambling, you should think that the money you use for gambling is a donation or something that you give it for free. Just like travelling, if you always overthink about the flight ticket, premium price in night bar, room price etc you will never enjoy your trip.

You are correct. Most addicted gamblers are looking for ways to be making income from gambling, but they will always fail with little win and huge loss. They do not realize that the gambling sites are in control and not them because the gambling site set the odds. They have the odds in a way the gamblers will lose more, especially if they gamble more.

I think if gambling with what is in mind then I believe by today the gambling industry could have collapsed by now because you & I knows that if you find a way to get into someone's heart you would see that they always wish and want to win millions of dollars. But what then? People always bring themselves to the level of getting just possible 2x above but for a case where they don't always win what in their mind they ends up going lower than what they expected. Today people just gamble to secure possible winning and not what they wish because if by chasing what they needs the Winning probability would be low whereby increasing the lost rate.

Well, I think that is the motivation you have with gambling, having that motivation to win money, and the perseverance with continuous gambling. Then there comes a time when you realize you gamble too much, and then you have the chance to and feel like it is addiction settling in your brain, then it would be a hard thing to remove.

I think it is better to have realistic goals that would be helpful for yourself, limit yourself, enjoy yourself, and not look forward to the profit that you could make.

We dream to win a huge amount of money in gambling especially the jackpot prize set by the casino. But we could also monitor the progress each game we play and if we think we are already losing then favor is not really on our side then its best to quit since there's no good to continue as we could face a lot of damage due to losses we get. The same if we are already winning we could also feel the luck is already declining then this is indicator that we also need to stop so we can still take home some winnings and casino will not recover our gains from them.

If a gambler would really reach those figures in their mind and have this risk taker mindset then provably they have a huge chance to lose everything. What's more worse with that is their urge to win would lead to addiction and that's really bad aftermath on those actions or decisions they have done.

Yeah, I did practice this kind of mindset, of having just a winning amount before I gamble. However, again as this is gambling, you will lose if you are not careful. And there are days that I will win the amount that I wanted, and then I just go and exit and withdraw the money. But there are days that I will think of the "what if", let's say that I continue and since I'm lucky, then I could have won big amounts. And then I will also have this thoughts that I'm not going to win if I have this kind of mindset. So it's really different for us, on how our emotions that time. The thing is that we should believed that we can win in the end and that is the most important thing.

This is where a gambler's mistake lies, because it is considered to be able to make money. and continue to win gambling, without seeing the risk of losing. and it can be said that the person is addicted to his gambling activities.

actually they already realize that the owner or company will benefit, it's just that they close themselves off from realizing this and continue to make the same mistake in their gambling, namely chasing victory. none other than because they are addicted, and cannot control themselves, they will realize after everything they do ends in a bad situation where their finances become unstable or go bankrupt

here it is important to consider the amount to be bet by limiting the value of the bet amount and agreeing to take a little profit without chasing a big win. and gamble just for entertainment.

You can gamble with a winning amount in mind but it has to be on fantasy level, in practical I don't think that it's advisable to do so. Being serious about winning a particular amount or setting a target for your win can lead to addiction if it doesn't materialize. If a gambler that sets a winning target continues to lose, it'll become a double tragedy for him because recovering loses will add to the winning target mentality. There's nothing wrong about dreaming to hit the jackpot in gambling but this thought should not be taken too seriously because gambling is luck based, your efforts or intelligence doesn't guarantee a win. Gamble with the amount that you can afford to loose, if you win take it, if you lose, move on.

I have the mentality that I can make money while gambling before. I noticed that I always lose than win and my life was not good at all. I have read about not to think of the last losses. I will not think if it but continue to lose. If I win, I will feel like to win more but lose. But if I lose I will think of gambling more and I will lose. All because I want to make money from gambling but which is not possible unless I hit a jackpot.

Well, I can't really deny the fact that I used to gamble way more than I do now when I used to have this thought of how much I was hoping to win from gambling as a way to retire 😁.
There was a time in my life and journey where I used to have this mind target that if I win atleast, $100k from gambling on one of my lucky days, that would be enough money to help me establish businesses around my country and world possibly, then with those businesses running, I should be able to retire young.
This thought actually made me spend more time and money on gambling, and this is because if I don't gamble, I may likely miss that lucky day of mine, so I devoted myself to playing atleast, 3 to 4 rounds of days on a daily.

But after playing for some time without any significant winnings, I began to lose zeal and interest in that dream of winning $100k, this was when I started drawing back from gambling till this very day, I still gamble, but not with such thought as before, and I also do not gamble as frequently as before.

So in totality, you are right with all that you have said, but then, important to mention is that fact that it's wrong for anyone to depend on gambling for money and for breakthrough in life, such one may end up disappointed, discouraged like my very self someday.

It all falls in your gambling plans and strategies. Yes as a gambler before every game, you must have in mind your target for that day. When we place a reasonable target for our selves we might be albe to minimize our losses and maximize our wins. This way, we know where we are going for that round of gambling. Even though is sometimes might lead to one being addicted, but you can at least find a means to control your self especially when your expectations for that day might has fallen below what you had in mind. This way addiction may be far away from you. You target must not be something too big, it can be like a double to our initial capital for that day. That's how you become a good gambler.

Without a winning amount in mind, when will you stop?
That's the big question when you are playing for fun because you are unlikely to withdraw thinking it's money that you can afford to lose and you will lose in the long run.
There must be a plan in mind even if you are playing for fun. Let's say you double your money, you walk out, then just deposit the other half again, the very least you could do is get your ROI or maybe some profits so that it will be more fun when you know to yourself that you are winning. Don't just waste money for entertainment if there's a chance to make some.

Such is gambling with budgets and gamblers without budgets will always be tempted to keep playing even when they have made some profits.

There are actually gamblers who are not contented to little winning, definitely they are either playing for greeds or they don't are risk bearers. Instead of winning little, they either prefer to lost to balance their emotions.

Its more expected of us to gamble without having any amount of wining in mind as target because the bet we are playing also in not guarantee, so why should we focus on having any amount in mind as a mirage in which we can't achieve anything from it at last, doing this is part of the ways in which some could be addicted at the cause, because they would have set a target to meet up with in gambling and not hitting on their target may cause a lot of trouble on them and such is one of the reasons why they may be chasing after loss or along the line be addicted into gambling.

l
I actually don't think it's that bad to set an amount you win. Yes, it's sometimes a cause for people to keep gambling but it's less of a reason imo compared to not setting a limit. You can set both a limit to how much you'd gamble and how much you want to win before stopping and it'd be completely fine. Now setting how much you want to win without setting how much you want to spend? Whole nother thing imo.

Also, I wouldn't really call it a "success". Just controlled.

That's right, the basic reason besides gambling for fun is to make a living from it. Serious gamblers definitely have goals, and of course another goal of gambling is to make a profit without working.

That's the reason why gamblers who have won a lot from their initial bankroll continue to play, the question is, is this a good thing? depending on the point of view, we cannot say whether it is wrong or not. But for me, this kind of thing is more bad than good when it comes to gambling.

On the time or moment you do play gambling with having that kind of mindset then its likely that you would really be that get easily addicted with gambling. Why? You are hoping for some wins on which this is something that wouldnt really be that an assurance on the moment that you do play gambling. Everything would really be random and something that cant really be known and being lucky would really be coming that random on a certain person or gambler. It is really just that so wrong that you will be having those kind of desperate measures. Just play for fun and entertainment so that you wont really be finding yourself to become that impulsive on the time or moment that you do trying out to make yourself becoming a winner. Gamble for fun so that you wont really be getting disappointed on the moment that you will
really be losing all of your money.

The main issue of most gamblers is that on the time that they do play then greed do really kicks in on which on the moment that you would really be having those winning moments.
You would really be totally forgetting into those initial plans that you have that set earlier. This is why you should really be careful into this aspect.

Gambling with a a picture on amount to be returned is just lol.. i mean is not like some Kinda investment that you will be expecting  a particular amount of renturn
on investment, gambling itself is unpredictable so it will be somehow dumb i think to have som kinda thought like that when venturing into it.Thus, if someone seems
to have that thought then he should be prepare for more losses because no mater how little he won  he will never be satisfied and will always want more even if he
eventually got his aim(which is on a low scale) and that's also  a real definition of getting addicted to gambling

Honestly, OP, this kind of behavior will only lead them to addiction and is not a healthy practice for someone who wants to become a successful gambler.

That is why I would say don't take gambling seriously or chase winning because that only gets far from us. Aside from that, it will be hard for us to accept losses and find gambling as entertainment, which is supposed to be the thing to keep in mind. 

In this situation, we never consider gambling just for fun but rather as our source of income. And we know that winning the jackpot is not the usual thing to happen, which, in the end, only gives us frustration rather than entertainment. 

It is your point of view, nothing wrong with it but I have different point of view about this question because I think gamblers should have winning amount in their mind.
Usually I call it with winning limit, for me it is a must so anytime I reach the winning limit then I'll stop my gambling session and take a rest.
Of course I also have losing limit so there are two limits I have to set before I start my gambling session.
Addiction has nothing to do with whether you have winning amount in mind or not, but it is more about how you deal with all situation that may happen while you are gambling.

It's okay to be hopeful and have a goal in mind; what's not ok is trying to reach that goal. Whatever happens, we have to be realistic about winning, and there's a big chance that we can lose.
Realization is very important in gambling, and stubbornness will get you addicted to winning. there's a big pressure to win if you're playing with money that you can afford to lose, so also be mindful of your budget and stick to it whatever the pressure.

Actually I think that might be even more dangerous. Not having a limit can make you lose sense of time and control. You might not realize that you have already spent so much and not has won much to compensate.

It would be best if you set strict conditions along the limit. for example if you lose three times in a row, then that would be the sign for you to stop regardless whether you have reached your goal or not.

The thought process of a gambler visiting a casino is obviously to make money while having fun. Eventually as the games run, the fun starts going out and the pressure to make money starts building up.

Having a winning amount in mind only builds up the tension to make the money in time and thus they will most likely lose more trying to chase that amount. This is a vicious cycle too because

bigger winning amount of x>more losses accumulate y> new winning amount  = x+y

Hence only gamble to have fun and keep a limit on the bankroll.

True, there is nothing wrong with hope, but certainly the hope must always be realistic, or do not exceed the limit. There is a difference between waiting and chasing and not everything must always be chased to get, this is gambling, chasing certainly involves more risk and of course it should have been thought about, and I am sure that no one wants to experience significant risk in anything, especially when it comes to losing money.

Being realistic as you said, it is very important and must always be maintained in mind, no other than by always being realistic then it will be able to restrain us from placing hope or doing an unreasonable action, or the intention is so that all our hopes and actions are within reasonable limits. The point is to gamble in moderation, maintain limits and awareness and also always be wise in making decisions, remember that when you chase victory then it is the same as you are calling a greater risk, while there is no certainty and guarantee of anything to be able to achieve victory.

Chances of winning in gambling are very much dependent on luck which can make the experience somewhat respectable but over-addiction can be detrimental to you as your losses are relatively high. You should keep a strict budget for gambling and reduce the tendency to go over it so that you maintain financial security.

It’s not about the amount of winning and losing to determine when to stop in gambling but rather the person satisfaction for gambling entertainment is. Many people forget about that gambling main purpose is to become entertained while your idea of stopping is measured about the amount like what you said “quitting after winning a little”.

A gambler will not stop playing if they are still not entertained well. Real gambler play until they are satisfied and quit regardless of their bankroll status (win/lose) if they are already satisfied with their game.

The only time I stop based on the amount involved is when I experienced a very early luck while I don’t feel playing anymore since I’m satisfied with my bankroll growth already.

Every gambler should not think that he can win a lot in a casino. The fact is that in a casino or in betting it is quite fair to win by multiplying your deposit amount by two. After that, you should not play, because continuing to play will be a clear sign of greed on the part of the player. The main idea: Anyone who wants to win twice their deposit has a good chance of succeeding. But no more than that.

Whatever they focus and think about, it's the same as gambling is one of the nature of the game, there are winners and losers, no matter how much they want to bet, the effort they put in and whatever strategy they apply it all depends on luck.

If someone is getting comfortable in gambling activities, sometimes they forget to consider the results they get, they just need to play and play, even if they place a bet five times and win once, Addiction and having fun are different things, sometimes they win and lose is not the main thing, as long as they can bet it is already fun for them, the same goes for those who consider winning, They gamble only hoping to win without losing, so everything they do is up to them.

Even into those casual day to day living decisions then we are really that hoping for something or trying to achieve some goal. It would really be that something that will really be just that typical.
The only difference on here is on what are the things that you are hoping for and on what kind of thing that you are really that involving into? Outcomes or results would really be neither be positive or negative
depending on what are your goals. Ex. in gambling on which you are hoping for winning, for us people who knows the truth will really be that basically tells that its not a good thing since it would really be bringing out that kind of desperation on which it will really be basically making you that desperate and just like the rest been saying that if you do find yourself having this kind of mindset then it would really be pushing you out of your limits or the thing that you had set out earlier on this regard. Gambling should really be fun and not something that would be stressful because on the time that you would be pushing yourself about being a winner then it would really be just that making you play even more despite of losing that big amount.

When doing gambling then your first priority should really be that wanting to have some fun and making money should really be on your second priority because if money is your first priority then you would be ending up on having that kind of desperation and on the time that you would be losing your bets then you would really be making even more deposit because you will be trying out to break even or you would really be that trying out to chase up those loses or even on how to win on which its not really that recommended on this case. Gambling is really that for fun and on the moment you do lose then you can just simply accept it because
you are already that expecting for it to happen.

it's a wrong start that you have to start setting out how much you want to win from your gambling. It's a direct way to go about it the wrong way and will certainly ruin you once you try to make it all about how much you can win. Based on how much you've assigned for your gambling and how much ode you've chosen with regard the game that made you gamble on the said occasion, whatever winning potential is yield should be okay with you and it's not right to try to tell yourself that you have to win up to a certain amount before ever calling it a day.

you're absolutely right although you shouldn't forget that you have to set a limit you can't gamble above. It's a two sided thing, as much as you wouldn't want to set an amount you must win before quiting for the day, you should also set out an  amount you can't go above even though you're winning or losing.

it's basically people that look at gambling as a means to an end that focuse more on how big they could win and in the process continue gambling till they've become addicted.

Gambling with a winning amount in mind dude Winning is part of gambling aswell hahaha I mean every gambler is always think about it even tho you are doing "gambling for fun" but still there is a glimpse about winning aswell.
I mean gambling winner is crazy because if you won the game it can double of your money or in some cases you can make x100 of your money instantly in no matter of minute.

Winning is also the part of why people do gambling at the first place because some people see other people with jackpot and trigger or fueling mind to do gamble.

Well, that's right, I agree with you OP, basically in any case everything we do is preceded by thoughts that will move us to make decisions and take action, and of course it is very dangerous if from the start a gambler already has an excessive interest in winning because it is likely that over time they will continue to develop their various actions in a more aggressive direction, especially when their interest in winning increases.

This is also one of the triggers for the occurrence of an addiction scenario without the gambler realizing it over time, so that's actually why a gambler from the start must really come with a proper understanding of what and how gambling really is, don't let them misunderstand which makes them even more focused on winning, because by understanding and realizing that winning is nothing more than an opportunity without being based on any guarantees and certainties, then I am sure gamblers will not place unreasonable hopes and targets for winning.

Actually I had not thought about it. But I assume there must be indeed people out there who are gamblers and keep an amount of money in mind while they spin slots or throw dices...
To me, it could be one of the fastest ways to become addicted to gambling or lose all of one's bankroll, because of the implication of the huge expectations the gambler could be creating in their mind.
For example, someone with enough bankroll could spend an hour gambling and win up to 100$, in the eyes of the rest of gamblers that would be a pretty decent earning for a whole session, but since the gambler had a bigger amount in mind (500$, let us say) they decide not to withdraw and call it a day, instead continues to wager until his balance starts to go down and ends up with even less than his initial deposit.

Because of stuff like that I try to have the lowest expectations as possible when I play blackjack or throw dices. It is better to pocket a couple of bucks one was not expecting, than expect hundreds and end up with nothing.

Well, a short answer is,,, not all players think the same.

Look, I come from the poker world, and I only played poker (before), now the forum has transformed me and made me part of the HE of the casinos, if I explain myself a little sarcastically with that.

The point is, that even when I was immersed in poker I was a tournament player, but I specialized in sit&Go, they are two very different elements, but in both cases one is not measured in a certain way by a specific amount, one only knows that one has to make ITM, and sometimes you are also in that percentage, but you are not very good in the final stages, I mean you can be making ITM, but you are not in the positions that pay the best, which are usually 1-2-3, even the third can be scarce in compensation.

The thing is, depending on the players and where they play, the process of winning is very complex and it's not just about a specific amount, but about improving your ITM percentage-wise, so that leads you to make decisions or consider game strategies.

A tournament is played in stages, understand me, we all want first place, but the variance is so screwed or things don't go so well that sometimes you go through a tournament survival mode and scratch a little bit to be in cashing positions is the goal.

-/... short story..../-

Anyway, the point is that traditional casino games are so simple to play that there are only two things (think) to do: click... or don't click.
There are more complicated things to think about  :)

Friend... I didn't forget your question but I knew the example was out there:

wyT?
 :) /  ;)  /  

Both are susceptible to become addicts if they are not careful, so from that perspective I do not think that it makes too much of a difference, however the gambler that is not interested in pursuing a specific amount of money they want to earn will obtain more fun, since instead of suffering for failing to achieve that objective, they will be completely concentrated on obtaining the fun they want out of gambling, which is what everyone that is gambling should be doing anyway.

It’s always important to set targets, my friend. Be it gambling or any other profession, if you don’t have a goal or target, then you won’t get motivated to do the task. This similar thing happens with gambling also. If I aim for $100 profit, then no matter how many days it takes or how many bets I have to place, I will continue gambling until and unless the target is reached. Hence, I highly appreciate these types of gamblers who have a calm and clear mindset. They know when to stop gambling and take a break.

I don't see anything wrong if a gambler is expecting to win a certain amount. I have a gambling mate whose expectation is to win big so that he can finance his studies abroad. He is not a gambling addict but believes that one day he will hit a jackpot. He gambles when he can afford to lose, which is commendable. It will become a problem when a gambler begins to do everything possible to meet his target. Such an individual would chase losses and even borrow to gamble because he wants to achieve his aim. Gamblers who see gambling as a major source of income are prone to a gambling addiction, but having an expectation is not wrong.

The truth of the matter is that most gamblers do have the belief they walk out of a gambling house with money, not without money. That's the reason why you see most gamblers spending enough time and spending their last money on bets, all because they are anticipating a jackpot out of their gambling activities for the day.

No gambler would easily accept the fact that they are not going to win a single bet before the end of the day if they staking up to $50 or more in a day. The mindset of winning is what has been in the mind of every gambler. That's why most gamblers probably assume a situation of betting with a small amount, they can be going home with a huge amount to sort out some bills for himself

Because they are not satisfied with the little they have won, they will always want to win more, no matter the amount they have won, so at the end, most of them are always losing because they just always want more.

If you are gambling for the sake of money, then you are likely going to end up being addicted to gambling because you won’t be able to stop gambling either when you are winning or losing. If you win, you will always want to increase the amount you have won, and if you lose, you will always want to win back your loss. If you are lucky enough to be able to win back your loss, you won’t stop gambling. But if you gamble for fun, then you will always know when to stop.

I agree with the thought that those gamblers who gamble to make a particular amount as profit are more likely to get addicted to it than the ones who just gamble for fun.

I personally gamble for fun and if my luck favors me then I make profit with my bets but if it isn't in my favor then I lose some money.

Both of those are okay for me because I don't gamble to win or to make money but I feel happy by betting on the events. I enjoy each bet not matter if it's a winning bet or a losing one.

Setting a target to be achieved in gambling is quite overambitious in my opinion. First of all gambling is just based on uncertainty and luck having a high expectation is a wrong approach because you might start getting obsessed and delusional with it. Gambling should be played for fun purposes only, budgeting a certain amount of money when it hasn't played out is very outrageous. The game is all about taking risks and luck. Do not expect too much, stake responsibly and enjoy the game

I think if you are playing a skilled game in gambling then it is a good idea, as long as you are improving every day sometimes you can take a dip up and down as the variance plays out. Having a target can help, as long as it's very loose because it should indicate through a trend that you have gotten better at the game. If you try to create a winning target in a non-skilled game that is just reliant on a random number generator that is weighted in the favor of the house, it is a very bad idea as you will chase losses downwards and possibly never recover. If there is zero skill in the game you are purely hoping that the random number generator pulls off a stroke of luck in your favor before you wipe out any chance of reaching the target and each extra play works against you.

Having a particular amount could also be good because once he eventually gets that amount the gambler may quit gambling for that day. Although it has both negative and positive effects on a gambler. When he chases wins and never gets the win, he continues to chase the wins and before you know he might end up losing all his money. And that could make him addicted to gambling. On the hand if he has a particular amount in mind and he wins the amount with one or few tries he would quit because he has the money and is satisfied with the wins. However, any other day he would repeat the same thing and it may not favor him. In conclusion, both ways can make him addicted if he continuously gambles with a specific amount in mind.

If all this really be true, then it simply means that you are not really spending much on gambling, or risking much rather, maybe you usually do not spend any amount above $5 on bets or to gamble, or maybe you don't even gamble at all or frequently.

I am of the believe that except one be very rich, gambling is not entirely fun without some winnings from time to time, this i am saying from or based on personal experiences, the joy in gambling is that one win and lose, and human psychology have even made it easier for us as we dont usually count our loses to compare it with our winning to determine if we are loosing more or winning more, we just continue to gamble as long as we are having some winnings from time to time.

So for me, even as much as gambling is meant to be for fun, no body enjoys losing money, and losing money all the time is not fun, if you ask me.

In gambling we must have a goal or target to achieve. In addition, we must be able to manage when to stop and the amount of money to be spent each time gambling. Because without this goal, of course our gambling ends without direction, resulting in addiction.

The potential for addiction for every gambler is of course you, because gambling always makes us imagine getting a jackpot so that before getting the jackpot makes us continue to chase it. However, if you already have a goal, all of that can be controlled, especially losses and even gambling addiction. Of course it's true as you said, it all comes back to each individual's perspective in gambling so that we can enjoy our gambling game or have fun even though we fail to achieve our goals when gambling.

It is true that gamblers do have profit targets but only few of them can achieve their targets and that was done by luck. No one knows the amount of money that our luck will bring to us on a particular day and if your target is above your luck, it means that you will lose the amount that your luck will bring to you because you are expecting more and that will make you to continue gambling.

I find it difficult to accept the fact thay gamblers who have profit targets will know when to quit the game because they already have an amount that they want to profit from gambling on that day which might not come to pass because no one knows when your luck will shine if not all gbkers will stake with a huge amount of money to hit it big once.

Whether gambling or investing in securities, it’s always a good idea to have an exit point if you’re in it for the money. Probably more with gambling than investing, because gambling will always end up taking your money given enough time. Having an amount you’ll get out gives you a way to bank profits before you get caught up.

Yes, that's true, I don't spend a lot of gambling and sometimes I don't gamble for weeks while other times I spend at most around $50 to $100 for gambling because I believe in the fun part of it not in money making part of it. I must say that I do place higher amount bets on sport events but only when I do my research well.

  From your expression, you are not a gambler so even we discuss gambling activities here, you won't understand. And there are two platform a gambler can use. Either sport or casinos like slot and spin. In sport there is a target to win which is clearly showing in the bet. But along the line you can cash out if you wish. But in general if a gambler has a specific amount which he has targeted to win in his life, it is not possible because that should be an imaginative work of the mind.

If a gambler has a target to win in general then that should be millions or billions of dollars but it is not. Though lucky ones can win millions but that is not the targeted amount but just a lucky amount for him. And if it is a slot or spin then you only win randomly.

The expected exit point is sometimes not really taken advantage of, even when big wins have already appeared and there is still greed to keep playing.
Such gamblers are still not satisfied with their first victory.

Gambling that is based on investment that then uses the right strategy, it can be applied, but it is not easy to get out if luck is still not fully owned.
If the goal is investment, why not just trade as usual or maybe just want instant profits with a small capital.

There are many people who get stuck in gambling because they don't know how to get out,
and they miss opportunities when they get a sizable profit, but still survive and keep playing.
It will indeed be endless and will only end in defeat and without any victory.

Everyone hopes to win something but saying they have a winning amount in mind is something I do not agree with. It may be possible in sports betting, however in games like slots or some.other casino games of luck, no, I don't believe that. I hope to win some money but not a particular because that is out of my control. What's in my control is responsible gambling.

Fortunately, I do both sport betting and casino gambling, although the absence of football matches that am familiar with like matches of the EPL, la Liga, Champions League and Europa league cup has become a hindrance to how much resources and time I spend betting on sports, mostly football, so I mainly stick to online casinos for now.

The point I tried to make is how I envision winning some good thousands having started with a small sum in range of a few hundreds. I like to think that I play more when my winning gets high and the target I have in mind looks achievable with more playtime. Most times I think I become addicted that I no longer have much to do other than gamble away.
I notice I play more and can't even stop thinking about the game until I resume again, that's when I nearly hit the target amount in my mind. I get motivated to try more because it could well be a lucky day if I could win a decent amount that's not even up to the estimate I had in mind.

To gamble responsibly is the best advice and am sure it is wiser to gamble without restrictions in the form of having a winning amount in mind but rather to gamble for the fun of it.

This is a common thing for gamblers especially in sports bet and some casino games that winning amount is know from the beginning. This means gambler already know what he plans to win and that will be the motivation and also influence the amount the gambler will bet. For luck based games, you can only hope to win but cannot know the amount to win from the beginning. In such a case, your mind is not fixed on any specific amount, but mere hope although you can have in mind the range of multiplier you wish to win.

Every gambler expects to win, they want money.
It is as simple as the motivation of most gamblers. If there is no money, there will be no motivation in gambling.  ;D

Sure, whenever we gamble excessively, it is one step of an addiction. Make a limitation for our gambling activity, it is the only way to avoid addiction. But we must be aware of the bad impacts, in this way we will be serious to prevent from an excessive gambling.

Gamble much or less, it depends on the capital of the gambler. How they determine the capital, it will depend on the goal and the financial level of the gambler. Generally, I can assume that much or less will be quite subjective. Someone can say spending $50 is much in a day, other may say it is less. But the right way is to spend small percentage of our income only (below 5% is better).

By the way, it is sometimes difficult to define "success" in gambling. How do you define "success" in gambling? I think very few gamblers who assume the success in gambling is to have entertainment on it. Most of us will determine the "success" based on the amount of money got from gambling.  :D

The problem with a gambler pursuing a determined goal is that he won't rest until achieving that goal. And since gambling is a game of luck, he may never achieve that goal... And if it's the case, he is going to spend all his money in a desperate attempt to win the amount he has in mind. That is insanity, because the gambler is going to compromise his whole financial life for something which may never happen! It's possible he may bankrupt in the process, so it's totally advisable to not have winnings amounts in mind when gambling.

Let randomness decide what your fate in gambling will be and accept it humbly in the end. Gamblers can't overcome casinos on long run, so they should just accept the outcomes without taking it as a personal challenge which has to be won against the house, the algorithm, the gambling community or any other person or entity the gambler wants to prove his capabilities.

That is true.
We've got targets in our minds and that's why we keep on gambling. The specifics are there but it doesn't happen at most times.
And that's why when we gamble, as long as we're marked up and the profit is there, that's much better than to chase those losses and then that goal that you have set.
It's okay to chase goals as well but if we're talking about gambling, everything changes with that. You don't get to see your goals on a day to day basis and that's why you need to be careful with it.
Change your mindset, as long as you are in profit or break even, you're doing well than the others.

Gambling with a set goal in mind can be ok but also you must consider the risk and what it takes to get there. Are you OK to lose your initial? If yes, fine and do whatever you like. Because you should be certain that it's a very likely possibility to lose anything you wager with. Otherwise it wouldn't be gambling.

But many people don't think logically and therefore for them gambling with a profit goal in mind can lead them to lose their everything by simply falling in the trap of chasing profits, and depositing more and more to attain your goal as you incur losses also.

when you want to gamble, you should be ready to lose the money you bet, because that is something that is most likely to happen, so you must be able to accept that the money you bet is lost in gambling. even though there is a chance to get a reward, the chance to get this reward is not as big as the chance of losing, so don't be upset when the money you bet is lost. besides that, don't expect too much from gambling because with high hopes like this, it can usually make us unable to accept when the money we bet is lost in gambling.
what you said is right, the wrong mindset where they think that they can definitely get profit in gambling can actually make them lose more money, because when defeat occurs it is not accepted well until what happens is the emotion that leads us to want to recover the loss only while there is no certainty that there can be a reversal of the situation where there is a victory that can cover all the losses that have occurred. this is what each of us needs to pay attention to when gambling.

each gamblers have their own way of thinking and plans , but remember that yours is not what mine .

but being serious in gambling means one thing, and that is for me a desperation because they are relying things in Luck.

targeting amount keeps bringing losses so best not to be one mate.

its always the better thing? to put specific amount to lose and not how much to win.

When it comes to gambling, the mindset a person adopts can have a significant impact on their behaviour. Gamblers who have a specific winning amount in mind often keep playing because they’re motivated by the idea of reaching that goal. This can make them more persistent, but it also increases the risk of addiction. They might gamble more frequently and with higher stakes, chasing after their desired outcome, even if it means risking more than they can afford to lose. On the other hand, people who gamble for fun, without a particular goal, tend to approach it more casually. They’re usually more likely to stop after a small win or set limits on how much they’re willing to lose. The thought process a gambler uses whether they’re focused on a goal or just enjoying the game can determine how much they gamble, how often they do it, and whether they’re more likely to develop a gambling problem. In the end, while having a goal might make someone more disciplined, it can also push them towards unhealthy patterns if they become too fixated on it.

Many stories from my friends say that success in gambling is when you can stop or in other words you can stop your greed and addiction to gambling. I think someone who still wants to win a lot of money from gambling cannot be called successful. I know there are some people who get rich from gambling but it has a very small probability. Most gamblers who want money and victory end up being addicts and spend all their money. I think having fun is better than getting money. This is my personal opinion and I still respect any decision from everyone.

I used to be gambler with characteristic attitude that aimed to bet money for victory and I thought about being able to have target of victory with certain amount of profit.
But if really think about it carefully and calculate everything well between victory and defeat to the profit with the loss, then I find that the defeat and loss are much greater than the amount of victory that can be obtained.
It will always fail if have mindset like that, all targets will fall apart and cannot be in accordance with expectations, until in the end we as gamblers will never be able to really feel the benefits that are deserved.

Moreover, gamblers who have target will always have fairly high gambling intensity and in reality they can have greater chance of getting series of bad impacts and also the consequences of gambling.
All of this is really not worth doing and is highly discouraged.

Pretty sure on the moment that we are just starting on gambling or complete noob then it would really be that normal that we would really be thriving out to make some those kind of thoughts that we would really be able to make easy money with gambling. The main priority that you would be having in mind is to make yourself a winner because on the time that you would be losing up money then this is where you would be making up some realizations that this isnt how gambling should really be treated. This is why it would really be that important that you shouldnt really be that making yourself that being too hopeful about winning in gambling because on the time that you would really be losing then this is where self realizations would really be kicking in. Gambling should be just for fun but it cant really be denied that we are really thriving on becoming a winner.

Even if we do say about into those old and veteran gamblers on which we are really that targeting for making some winnings but the most important thing that you should consider is that
you do able to enjoy at the same time you are really that having that chance on making some profits or winning on which it would really be that in second priority.
Just dont make yourself that being too greedy then you should really be just that fine.

playing chasing a specific target is a big risk in my opinion because it leads you to bet just to reach the target.

You can also lose useful opportunities because once you reach the target you would not bet anymore..

Then, why to embark yourself  on gambling if not to dream about jackpot. I'm sure that the latter is the long-cherished goal of every gambler whether he likes to acknowledge this or not otherwise he is from  the  class of   hyppocrites. And such dreams are not bad at all even they are not destined to come true.

The knowledge of the downsides of continuous betting should encourage you to keep things moderate, yes you can hit the jackpot when you continue betting even after reaching your target, and of course you can loose everything if you start experiencing a losing streak.

Furthermore, keeping to your decision to quit after reaching your target enables you to be more disciplined and less careless in your gambling involvements and limits your chances of being an addict in there near future.

Jackpots are everywhere, you can hit it in your career, don't just attach too much hope of hitting it while gambling for your own sake. The damages are real and should be avoided at all costs.

Bit risk to the fact that everything is unsure in gambling. Consistency is not always good since sometimes it will just lead to more bigger loss to us if we decide to continue even if we are already in bad situation. That's why we just need to feel each condition of our bets and if we think we are already losing then its better to quit.

Thinking about chasing losses is not good action so people must settle for what they experience to avoid getting more larger risk to lose a lot of money.

People just need to enjoy their game and think about winning huge or hitting their targets is just a bonus. Since if you are lucky those bigger rewards will came especially if you play on a casino games which give you a chance to hit those big multipliers.

The lure for many gamblers is winning big, and this leads to frequent, at times compulsive, gambling. Such a vision of hitting a big jackpot may overshadow smaller wins, thus creating a higher risk factor for compromise. Gamblers who are purposeful or goal-directed with bets on specific amounts they would want to win could be overcome by impulsive and "chase" mentality, which might render them very prone to problems. Compared to people who gamble for fun and without any financial goal in mind, which greatly discourages it, leading to a more downward approach in gambling characterized by The continuous theories of gambling upon which gambling was based, whether it was motivated by future gains or a focus on pleasure, played an essential role in determining the act of gambling Although some measured win by numbers won gambling being hazardous by nature, lasting success was uncommon. These complexities need to be recognized, in particular as gambling starts to become problematic, to make informed decisions on when and how to get help.

I agree motivation is a huge factor in how you behave as a gambler if your goal is to gain or recover your losses, chances are you are not going to spend more than what you can afford to lose.

The right motivation should be to accept whatever the outcome of the game is and not force yourself to achieve what you want. If you're lucky, you will eventually hit your goal.

In gambling, you may not get what you want, but you may have a chance to do that when an opportunity opens up.

This is the main point of maintaining a "golden middle" in everything. I mean maintaining a balance. We can't blindly move towards a result, forgetting about your life. But we can't forget to live here and now.
Therefore, all work, all rest and all hobbies like gambling should be balanced and only then will we have success in life.

Good point, if you plan things out and you manage to practice whatever set up you created, then the chance of making money and enjoy your session can be fulfill, though it's good to think about making decent but also you need to have that kind of control if how much is the amount that you are willing to let go.

Both win and lose amount should be plan and should be inside your mind to practice controlling yourself and not to allow any emotions to lead you losing more than what you can afford to let go.

If you are not playing for fun, you may have some idea that makes you play much more often than regular players do. These ideas can be very different. For example, a player may believe that he has some ingenious strategy that will help him win such a significant amount that it will change his life. And until the player is completely convinced that this idea is untenable, a very long time may pass... In general, sometimes it is very difficult to understand the potential of an idea. However, it may well make you play much more often.

As much as we are not addicted or dedicated gamblers, we still have the hope and desire to win big, but the ability to accept the result of our bet is what can make a responsible gambler not get addicted. There's no gambler that is against winning big amount, but some of them don't press so hard to win; if it doesn't favor them that day, they can just take their leave. But there are some die-hard gamblers that will spend all their resources in one go just to win. If I want to gamble, most times I just have some wishful thoughts in my head saying to me, "I wish I could just make a huge win today." Despite having those thoughts, I could still end up leaving empty-handed after losing everything to the casino. 

Despite being an addicted gambler or not, there's always a belief that we all have that makes us to think that if we don't win today we will not miss the next days ahead of us. Being addicted to gamble even makes it harder to win because it always runs in the gamblers mind that we must win, and most times we don't win at all. The thing is, we must know that if we don't win to day we shouldn't chase our losses because chasing loss will bring more losses.

True, it means that one or the other of those hopes depends on what your goals are and whether or not you have the right understanding of the gambling activity, simply if your goal is to get a lot of wins and from the start you don't have the right understanding of what and how gambling really is then I'm sure that you have the wrong expectations that tend to be excessive, but when it turns out that you have the right understanding that makes your goals not too significant to victory then most likely you will just wait for the victory to come by itself without forcing every situation.

As you said that something that should be prioritized is to have fun, there is nothing else that is more worthy of being a priority than that, because it makes no sense if you prioritize the goal of getting a lot of wins while gambling will always be an activity that can never be predicted and cannot always produce the victory according to what you want, that's why hope is something that must be limited.

May I say that it depends on the gambler?
There is a target win but I don't really prioritize it. It's not that I don't need it, I personally prefer more realistic targets such as how much money I allocate to play for an hour. If in that hour I can get a large or small amount of winnings, I will stop.
My thought process would continue to loop like that every time I gambled so I didn't know if I was categorized as an addicted gambler or just for fun.

Although it seems that so far we would say about greed,  because they continue to bet when they have a little win. But the truth is, there are still many gamblers who succeed when continuing to bet and maybe, it's not just about the target profit or winnings, but it can also be about still feeling a good moment to continue betting.

At least, I've had moments like that in the past and while it's true, greed will always be there. But the point is, a gambler will be able to have a good feeling or mood in gambling. So, when gamblers feel such moments, then of course it will be easy for them to continue betting of course to make higher profits.

that's what gamblers really feel. we all feel the momentum that makes us feel good luck. and that makes us not finish with some small wins. even those who make a target win I think can also avoid their target and decide to continue playing when getting a good momentum to win bigger.
although greed is something that gamblers avoid. but I believe gamblers don't really avoid it. gambling always gives us a feeling to continue playing.

With what you have said, I might say that you are a gambler who has a correct understanding of what and how gambling really is, I can't say whether you are a gambler who comes to have fun or a gambler, the reason is because I don't see you mention any aspect of fun above but you only say about the approach you have which leads to an approach that is not excessive by only targeting realistic wins.

My advice is to maintain that approach, because not all gamblers can gamble sufficiently by implementing everything that is realistic, and I also hope you can maintain your awareness because after all gambling is full of things that look tempting which indirectly can make you tempted and fall into it without realizing it until you are finally addicted.

Did you know well that gambling is not trading? If you forgot, I have reminded you that if you claim to have a fixed amount of winning in gambling, it will help you with two negative things, which are being a gambling addict and losing a lot of money that you will never imagine. 
 
What are you thinking about gambling? Gambling is based on your luck, so the smaller the winning, the smaller your luck. You just have to accept that if not, you will lose critically. Mind you, if you were emphasising budgeting on the amount to sprint gambling, then I will support you, but for this, I don’t think I can support your motion because there is no fact in this. 

On the time or moment that you do have that kind of mindset or thinking that you should really be making money on the time that you do gamble then this is what it pushes you to become addicted. Why?
On the moment that you are really that hoping on becoming that profitable then it will really getting in line with your actions on which as long  you do have the money into your gambling account then you would
really be that making use of it until the very end, the worst thing is that if you do lose it all then you would really be making further deposits just because you are really that anticipating that you would be profitable
in the end of the day or such session on which this is really that very wrong. This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due into this very common behavior of most gamblers on where they are really that too desperate on making money without even trying out to realize that they are really that putting themselves on great harm in terms of financial aspect. If you are really that someone who do have that kind of perceptions towards gambling and would never ever changed then regret would really be always at the end. People do usually learn up when they are already on unfortunate conditions.

Just play for fun and entertainment without minding too much about on how much you would gonna win. On the moment that you do accept and treat it on the right way then you wont really be finding yourself that being too stressed specially on the moment that you do lose because you are already anticipating for it to happen. Therefore, on the moment that you do bust up that gambling capital or budget you do have then you wont really be tending or impulsively making deposits just because you had just that easily accepted your fate into this manner.

It is always difficult for a gambler to quit gambling regardless of any amount they win because they literally see gambling as a means of getting quick money without much labour and a gambler who either experiences too many losses or winnings finds it difficult to quit as their is always that driving spirit to gamble more after winning and for a loser, they try to recover their losses and end up losing everything in the quest.


Addiction is not only for gamblers who have set out an amount they wish to win from gambling and continuously chase their winning targets but even those that thinks they are gambling for fun sometimes fall into addiction because it is believed that what ever thing one does for fun makes them happy therefore they will want to experience more of the happiness by spending more time gambling and from there it leads them to addiction where they will literally find themselves unable to control their gambling habits.

That's what I also believe. I'm certainly aiming to win; the larger the amount, the better, but that isn't always feasible. Sometimes I'll set an imaginary target; if it's achieved, that's great; if not, it's still okay; it's not my top priority. I believe that you can easily get carried away by looking at a specific target goal, end up betting more than you actually intended, and result in losing your money because your initial earnings weren't up to your expectations. With that being said, I'm happy to cash out on my win, especially if it's relatively close to what I was hoping for.

I'm not sure if I'm the only gambler with such coincidence or perhaps I'm not the lucky type of person. Any time I gamble with amount expectations on my mind, I don't win that bet. I'm not sure if it's because I put my whole mind waiting for the game to win or I don't just get the luck other people have from gambling. If I bet, I make sure I don't expect nothing, this help me reduce the disappointment that comes later when you don't win anything later.

If you have a last card and you think gambling is the surest way to double the money, I will advice to used that money to eat because you will not win that money, it's not a magic or rocket science but you hardly win from such money. Sometimes also, your expectations give you wrong pick in gambling that's why I do tell people that if you are not willing to let go of that amount, don't use it to gamble because you might not be happy after.

We will only be lying to ourselves if we say we gamble and expect nothing in return.  Everyone who brings out money to gamble expects a win no matter how little the win amount may be. The only thing that can help us manage disappointments is when we avoid setting expectations that are too high for us and also, when we gamble with amounts we can afford to lose.

Gambling with a fixed winning amount in mind may work for some people, but I won't recommend it to anyone. Many may not know the right strategy to apply so they can actually win the amount they have in mind. Even if they apply the best strategy, this is gambling and things may not always go as we expect them to be. Expectations like this is the reason lots of gamblers do not know when exactly to stop gambling and go home with the money they've won so far or even go home with just a small loss instead of chasing losses.

Gambling with a win amount in mind remains a NO NO for me.

if you think that if you lose today you will get tomorrow that is thinking of someone who is pursuing it loss in gambling and it is not supposed to be like that when you are thinking in such way that means you are getting much addicted in gambling so many people do emphasize addition of gambling but the normal thing that causes someone to be addicted in gambling is because the person is ready to pursue it loss that he has already made previously and thinking that it next time it will recover all what if you has lost so far, so I know very well that we need to understand that gambling is something of entertainment but when you're desperate it's when you will lose.

Better than nothing right? I mean if it's close enough to what you expect why bother pushing for more if you can wisely withdraw your earnings and enjoy,  it's serves as your tips while enjoying the game,  not all have that capability as most of the gamblers will think that they need to seek for more while luck still backing them up, it's always good being practical even you have something in your mind but it's still great to have and secure your profits.

Active gamblers will definitely no longer think that they will reach tens of multipliers in the games they play, but they will focus more on improving to look for wins in small amounts and come back again the next day. It's not unusual for many gamblers to target big multipliers but if they are too emotional I think it will be a big disappointment.
What is meant by gambling addiction is of course that they will play all the time and also some of them really don't aim to win big because they know that this is a false hope that should not be focused on because it is luck. So, like the title of the topic, we also have to focus on the number of wins in one game because if we have reached a satisfactory point in that game we will move on to the next game.

winning is one of the first motivations in Gambling, I don't think anyone will be gambling if there is nothing like winning and rewards in gambling, and as a matter of fact, before a gambler set out to gamble, he already have the intended winning in mind and at that if otherwise happens no one will feel good about it, so gambling to a large extent is because of the winning.
Although some people may say gambling is for fun and entertainment and that is the sole reason why they gamble, but then also what is the fun in gambling when you keep on losing?
I don't think there is fun in that and this should be clearly stated as a motive before setting out to gamble at any point in time.

When a gambler is gambling with an amount in mind, it increases the chances of addiction much more than when they are gambling normally, setting a target in mind makes a gambler gamble irresponsibly an would want to add so much desperation that they will recklessly place bets and and make picks on the games they want to place bet on. Risk is why most times it's usually advised to gamble without having much at heart but to gamble to get entertained and not to focus on the rewards you will get if you eventually get your picks right, all of that only comes in when there's a number at hearts after which a gambler is aiming and hoping to make money off their bets.

Setting a target win amount when gambling can be a double-edged sword. While it may help maintain discipline and potentially limit losses, it's crucial to remember that gambling outcomes are inherently unpredictable. This approach might lead to chasing losses or missing out on further gains. Always gamble responsibly— set both win and loss limits.

It is true that we do not have to fully expect gambling, but I doubt that there are people who gamble without having any thoughts of not wanting to win, it feels very impossible. Although there are wise gamblers, I think when they gamble, a little of their thoughts are hoping for a win that they can cash in, it's just that here they can control themselves well so they don't get caught up in gambling that can make them fall deeper into gambling.
When we have the last money, of course it is not a solution to gamble because the big possibility is to lose, so it's better for us to spend it on our needs as you said, for example by spending it on our food, it's more positive to do. If we really want to gamble, we should use money that is not used for other things, I mean it doesn't affect other things that will be hampered, that's not the right thing to do. Besides, we have to allocate some money with the thought that the money must be willing to be lost. ' Besides, even though there is a chance of being lucky, luck will not understand our circumstances.

And that's when we are seeing that the biggest problem in a game is our Own fault , feelings of having more and more appear, greed , avarice, are things that we should take care of, but to avoid this and cloud our mind it is necessary to have a plan, limit money to bet and withdraw when necessary and when I say necessary it is that even if it seems like little money we should do it, if we are lucky enough to withdraw a lot of money , then that's where it should be done , and lower the bets to the minimum to risk , for me that is betting very intelligently.

Not sure if having an amount in mind is a good thing or bad thing according to the writeup, but one thing I certainly know is going in which a plan helps keep you in check and prevents you from going out of the budget or playing all day..think of a plan as a thermostat to help stop you from being an addict  ::)

Otherwise gambling for fun or gambling for an amount in mind all comes to the same thing... making money/profits as no one what's to gamble to waste their precious time!!! All in all gambling addiction is not as simple as amount setting in mind, a whole lot of other perimeters need to be crossed to be flagged for it.

I believe the first goal of people who gamble is this, the winning amount from their mind which is really given. You always think win and get that money!

Sometimes there are disadvantages and advantages of doing it, the advantage is you think positively to win always - you attract to win.
The disadvantage is being greedy - if you can't handle your emotions, you think more greedy and the result will be in your actions.

I think it is natural for gamblers to think like that playing by considering the victory that will be obtained because these gamblers play by betting their money in the hope of winning big their target may want to change their fate through gambling but unfortunately life is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, we can hope but we also have to be realistic because gambling with a big achievement target will only make someone's life uncontrollable and eventually destroyed just because of excessive gambling.

Gambling is not to change fate or used to replace our daily jobs because it is very dangerous we will lose everything we get from our previous jobs if we take gambling seriously.

Betting because of the target goal, if not then he can continue to increase the bet in order to meet the desired target in gambling this is the human desire in gambling.

Usually people who have reached the desired target multiplier will increase the bet again, they may forget to stop after the target is reached, sometimes the opportunity will be defeated by addiction.

Even if we do something simple, we should consider it very seriously. If I take any task simply then I can never finish that task well. Gambling is completely different from such ordinary work, so gambling should be given the most importance. If we do other work, we will get money, our salary will be given, but if we do not pay attention to gambling or there is any mistake, then the amount of money we invest in gambling will be completely lost. It was seen that the amount of money we earned hard in one month only because of some wrong decision lost all the money in one month but it will create bad effect in our life. There are some gamblers who do not gamble in any particular science they bet money and lose and they bet money and it is seen that at some point they become very addicted to gambling. Becoming addicted to gambling is more dangerous than losing money in gambling. Because an addicted person thinks about how to continue gambling and how to manage money, they don't even know when they are committing a crime.

I think that there is no problem if a gambler has an expectation that he can get a certain amount of money from his gambling that day - it is very reasonable considering that besides seeking pleasure, people gamble also to get money. What needs to be considered is how his attitude towards gambling and being responsible for it. Because if he is responsible and does not gamble carelessly, then no matter how much expectation he wants to get from his gambling, it should not make him easily addicted to gambling.

I don't know while we always Lament on addiction, it's obvious and understood that what makes us to be addicted in gambling is basically through our intentions, and anything and we are over desperate on it and we participate on it frequently, it's called desperation, I know very well, getting desperate much is not good for someone who is below eighteen years old, but someone who is advanced I don't think that is good for we to Lament whenever it's in frequent gambling

Gambling is a gambling, people who is addicted in gambling basically knows the risk measure that's attached in gambling, so I know quite well that gambling has to with own ways, so if you fails to know the strategies of gambling you will not know when you will become an addict of gambling, so in summary, anyone who wants to be addicted in gambling is left for the person not you. Because this campaigns of be addicted and not be addicted has taken over the community for long time ago.

It is for me kinda abnormal to set a target to meet on an activity like gambling where we don't have control on and which outcome doesn't depend on how hard we push it or try. I think the motivation to push harder on life's issues is way out of context in the inclusion of gambling.

  Specific targeted amount is a broad way to gambling addiction because it will encourage loss chasing, also leading to spending much time on gambling more than necessary thereby abandoning other important things about ones life. Maybe gamblers should just be contented with what comes their way and walk away for another again. As the popular saying goes, "he who fights and runaway lives to fight another day".

One thing I know is that everyone including you and I have this mindset to always win, and of course we must win but this aspect draws us more close to consistently gamble without knowing that one is gradually becoming an addicted gambler. About emotions, yes you can not control your emotion while losing, in fact people can't stand watching their bet always cut no matter how tolerance you seems to be maybe there is a trusted game you have and you give you higher bet amount thinking you would win and you if don't it bounced back you where you could feels so disappointed about the amount you used to placed the bet.

When a gambler can practice responsible gambling, he will be able to keep his expectations within a limit. But if the expectation is too high then that gambler has failed to practice responsible gambling. A gambler's urge to win is the source of his addiction and gradually transforms him into an addicted gambler. After a gambler has won a few bets, one type of winning confidence becomes more active, but this type of confidence is the main cause of losses in gambling. A gambler can never win with certainty on his bets. He must also rely on luck. When the gambler bets for more winnings without controlling his greed and subsequently loses the bet, he can realize his mistake to some extent. But only those who can come to a good solution of those issues in advance will be successful.

Well alot of people have different mindset on how they go about with their gambling winnings,some earn alot through this so they don't hesitate to stop gambling cause it soots their bills and needs,so definitely they would take it very serious like their life is bent on it.
I know that Gambling has it's Good and bad benefits but then putting so much hope in it and specific amounts to win in mind is totally not ideal.

Yes it's okay to picture what you want but not in the aspect of gambling, probably when doesn't come out as planned,what then will be the outcome,this is why some persons having loss in gambling tend to be repulsive to anyone around.
I definitely don't gamble with a particular amount in mind,but necessarily I do it when I have spare income to gamble with and just for the fun.

Having an amount that you want to win in your mind will make you to gamble much more and that is true because it has happened to me before when I gambled because I wanted an amount of money to use for something very important to me that I have already used the money that was meant for that thing for something different. I lost all the capital I had because I did not know when to stop. You can deposit $100 and have in mind that you want to win $500 but you can lose everything despite making $300 profits but just because you want to complete it $500, you will continue to gamble and by then you have already been too involved that you can not stop gambling regardless of what is happening because all you want at the moment is to complete the amount in your mind.

I stay with you on that one. Having a winning amount is okay, but it's okay not to meet it at the end of the session because some days are good, some are worse, and the main thing going for is fun and having a good time, rather than a big jackpot, in my opinion. Of course, if it pays the bills, a person wouldn't stop before he hits the bank, but it can sometimes not happen, that's why it shouldn't be that way.

Indeed It actually sounds somehow setting a wining target on gambling when we all know that gambling is a game of uncertainty, though there is nothing wrong in wishing big or dreaming big in gambling but is better wining big when somebody did not expect than setting a target because one of the disadvantage of setting a wining target on gambling is that if the target is not met the person tends to continue gambling even when they continue losing they would always gamble with the hope to reach there target and through that method somebody can become bankrupt because of aggressive gambling, so perhaps instead of setting a wining target people should reason more on setting a budgeted betting target because it helps to reduce the rate at which people gamble.

Of course it is, and the thoughts and goals in the player's head determine how much he will lose and how quickly he will do it, unless of course he accidentally hits the jackpot, and this can happen to anyone. Of course, I would not focus on the money that I have not won yet and would not think about this amount. Why think about something that does not exist, it is more productive to take real steps towards a dream and take those steps that will bring us closer to it. There is nothing special in betting that could bring us closer to winning, the main thing is not to make gross mistakes and stop when necessary.

Exactly, something to remember is as you said that there is no point in always thinking about things that have not happened or something that does not exist, and this is why a gambler must understand and know the meaning of the word "chance", remember that it is nothing more than a probability or possibility that cannot be ascertained will happen.
So I think having a mindset focused on winning will only make a gambler experience many unwanted things such as large losses, and that really happens to gamblers who are now addicted where instead of producing many wins, the opposite happens.

We also have to understand that goals, hopes, and beliefs will not always be able to influence the results of the game unless luck comes, but in any case, luck will only happen occasionally because there is no element of consistency. So of course it is better to focus on risk management and being prepared to accept the consequences of risk.

Big part of being addicted is the lust and desire that can't be controlled, there are gamblers who thinks that they can simply win and will be able to achieved their set targets, but eventually that target keep increasing to the point that they are already being controlled by greed and along the way they will keep experiencing losses and will continue to repeat that same mistake.

Though there are discipline types of gambler who can keep and execute the strategy and due to experienced they'll able to keep it up
and win decently.

Yes this is true. yesterday i loss in gambling and that was borrowed money Although the amount of money is not very big but since I don't have money, the amount is too big for me. This morning I borrowed some of my money and paid off the previous loan with profit from gambling. And in the afternoon I again borrowed money from friends and gambled and lost that money again. Gambling is very tempting.  It's like if we don't mind losing $1000 but winning $100 on a single bet makes us much happier. And this is how we gamble again and again, forgetting previous losses.

I don't do this, because I do not have anything in my mind that I set out to do. I usually end up with whatever I win or lose, because I have a set limit on what I would deposit in a month, if all that money is gone then it is gone and I do not invest into anything else, if I set out to not do anything then we are going to do end up losing more than we should, so limiting your loss is important.

But after limiting the loss, there is no limit on the wins, I can turn my fifty bucks into a million and I would still gamble however I want, would probably cash out most of it, but that doesn't mean I would stop, I would continue to gamble after that too, with a bit higher amount of course but would still not stop gambling all together.

It's natural to feel that way because every day is not always the same, and as humans, we always have to feel positive energy and wish ourselves luck. So, if one actually gets defeated today, the person always has the feeling and wishes to get lucky next time. But an individual becomes so addicted when the gambler has made it a must to win a certain amount, and even when they are not hitting that amount, they continue betting until they might end up losing everything. 

That is very true. When a gambler has a said amount as a goal to win then his mind diverts him into gambling more.
This is because his mind wants him to achieve his goal quickly but that turns out to be a nightmare in most cases.
When a gambler don't have any budget in mind then he gambles freely without any conditions and quits whenever he wants.
Even when the winning amount is very low or none but if he has satisfied his gambling needs then he quits but the gambler with an amount in mind keeps gambling to win that amount.

This is the mindset that normally make gamblers to gamble with much amount of money because they feel they can actually make some specific amount of money, but gambling is a game of surprise which you can't really tell if one will win or lose. It is better to take gambling as a game of fun and play with amount one can afford to lose and never to have a specific win as a target. Having an amount to win in mind in gambling can make one to be very desperate which can lead one unable to have control in gambling, such mindset can also make a gambler to be addictive in gambling. It is just better to gamble for fun and not having any target in mind.

Gambling with a winning in mind is not totally a bad idea. It will only be disastrous if the expected winning amount is outrageous.

• I'll stake 100 to win 110 (not bad)
• I'll have to win 1500 with 100 before I'll leave this casino today (bad).

Talking about gambling for fun, I am yet to know the fun in gambling when you are lossing money.

You have a good point that we should not have a winning amount in our heads, or else, it will be a catastrophe as it could lead to emotion and emotion can lead to anything else. Although this does not necessarily lead to addiction, nevertheless, it is good that we have clear minds towards gambling and rather work around reality than dreams that will never happen.

Gambling is so risky, it can't be vouched for in terms of winning/ outcomes and we should be happy if we are lucky to win, it can't be a function of our expectations. So since we can't control what will happen in gambling, not even with the situation where the chance is so high, we should then ensure that we have viable management towards our portfolio and plan on how our bettings would take shape with a plain mind.

Disciplined gamblers need not worry about near misses like others who get moved by them. I don't condemn having a winning amount in mind, but it shouldn't be exaggeratedly high. Having in mind to win smaller amounts is not wrong or addictive because it's an attainable level of wins. But for a player who deceives himself with huge win expectations, his anxieties would grow easily.

A "gambler" is going to gamble all day and stop when broke or when tired. That's their nature. A player that is looking to make a few bucks and call it a day is not IMO considered a "gambler". Yes they gamble but not every hour of everyday like a real gambler.

IMO you need to be a mix of both. Gamble and gamble alot if you want, but always consider having some sort of goal in mind.

That’s all about the gambling you will never seee a person who take the gambling activities very serious and always given his self full that they have doubts for any game they stake that it will surely come, since there been a while the the system that the gambling is not about experts. Because they even those that they didn’t have any knowledge about the gambling there also winning the amount that they didn’t expect, and that’s part what is given so people so much motivation in gambling.
I’m wonder for some peoples that always putting a winning amount in there mind when ever they come to gamble if not be some people how can I be predictable winning amount on top of gamble that I never know either I can even win or lose.

That's the question of what's considered a "real" gambler. The main thing going, in my opinion, should be the emotions, not the bucks or the amount of gambling. Sure, bigger prizes mean more emotions, but it should be noted that only the money that is okay to spend should be used.

That way, the gambler will have both of the worlds, as you said - having a good time (which, in my opinion, should be the goal in mind) and the emotions behind the process.

Good point. As for me I believe that every positive thoughts attracts luck faster than negative thoughts. And one who's gambling we always need to have a positive thoughts but he shouldn't take it serious because if what's he's planning didn't work out the way he thinks it he might not gamble with a good intention anymore.

Staying positive can make wonders. And I too think that good thoughts are like the beacon of light that brings good fortune with it ;)

What do you mean by positive thinking in the sense that a gambler directs his mind to the belief that the journey will end in victory? Or do you mean by positive thinking that is gambling calmly and without being based on any ambition? I hope this can be explained in more detail so that it can be more focused or the intention so that it does not become a misunderstanding.

Because when a gambler thinks positively which for example means that the best will come like victory, then it is the same as putting hope in a place that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee that it can always happen, and of course this can cause significant disappointment when it turns out that everything does not go according to expectations.

I'm trying to let you know that in gambling we gamble most of times to make money and it's few people I will say that they gamble base on fun, let me use this question as illustration,  what's the intention of someone who is poor and engaged in gambling, I know that the major objective of someone who is into gambling is to make money through gambling, it doesn't have any other intentions expect  to make money through gambling and that's why I don't believe In someone gamble with for fun, people gamble for fun and other people also gamble for themselves to earn a living

How many of us have been having a particular winning amount in consideration and we gamble to see that the same expectations were meant, gambling could be unpredictable in most cases, when we set a target on it, then we have to make sure that its base on what we can afford to lose, when it comes then we take it, but if it doesn't then we accept the fate, there is nothing too sure about the end result we may have in gambling than when luck work on us.

That's right, I've been through a phase like this, where in gambling opportunities I target the amount of winnings I want to get, if I'm not mistaken 4 months ago I did something like this because I needed a little extra money to do activities on some newly developed altcoin projects and I needed about $400 dollars, then I used $50 money to do gambling, which in the end took quite a long time and I had to make two deposits to be able to get $200 winnings, and finally stopped before reaching the target for fear of losing.

I think your thinking is the same as mine, and it's true.

Is there any gambler out there who brings out his money to gamble without having that positive spirit to win? Every gambler desires to win whenever they gamble and that's the positive thought.  But then, does these positive thought influence there winning all the time? No it doesn't.  This is to show that, just having a positive thought towards gambling is not all that is needed.  The most important thing is having an open mind towards gambling so we can accept whatever results we may get from the games we've played.  Any gambler who relies so much on positivity without really having an open mind will get disappointed quickly if his expectations are not met.

The best way to avoid this calamity from happening is the limit our urge for greed and profits, and focus more on fun regardless of how we feel about the games, sometimes, many gambler's feel so confident about a game to the point that they risk they entire balance on a single bet, instead of to bet with limits.


This is why is important to have a set limits target at each point so that you can avoid unnecessary level of loses all in an attempt to reach a profit level.

That's exactly my point: Why risk everything only to end up losing more in the process? If I supposedly have earned $50 but my goal is $80, I'm better off redeeming my current earnings; it's certainly better than nothing. Sometimes achieving our gambling goals isn't feasible; we're not talking about minor amounts of $5 or $10, but a profit of $40 or $50 is beyond reasonable to overcomplicate things. It also depends on how much you've bet. I'll be satisfied if I place a $50 bet and receive $80 in return.

Those who have a target amount of winnings in gambling, actually do not have that target. Greed always envelops, and emotions are often uncontrollable.

When someone gets a big win, which means they have reached the targeted amount of winnings. It is difficult for that person to think rationally about gambling, and decide to end the game. Because there is always a feeling that drives someone to continue betting, with the intention of multiplying what they have got. Which can make someone lose what they have got because after getting a big win, there will always be a desire to bet more and bigger than before.

But it's not enough there, when someone has lost what they should have gotten, then the desire to get that win back will always be there. But as we know that gambling is full of uncertainty, so in the end he will not only lose the winnings he has got, but he will also lose some of the money he has

I have a very clear idea about your question. Firstly, I agree with you that playing for fun is more useful than playing for money or winning. But I would like to point out a number of cases when a person comes to gambling for pleasure, but over time the thirst for money outweighs it in favor of a big win and the pleasure stops and perhaps even addiction occurs. I want to say that for each person similar processes can occur differently.

That's too much because I'm not someone who understands gambling too well, but I'm just someone who enjoys every gambling game well at every opportunity because gambling is not a field for me to find a source of income.
All aspects must be realistic, including gambling. There's no way I can force myself to reach the target if there are no opportunities and chances.
If I lose in the game, it's a sign that I shouldn't force myself to keep winning.

On the moment that you would really be having that kind of thing or have in mind when the time that you do play gambling then you would really be that definitely be having that high chance of losing or getting addicted.
Its really that important that you should really be that wary on the things that you are really that dealing on with so that on the moment that you would really be losing then you wont really be that impulsive.
This is why on the time that you do play gambling then you arent that anticipating or expecting too much. Play for fun would really be the key but majority of people would really be thinking on on how
they would really be that making those huge wins and this what makes them do desperate and what makes them that too desperate on things.On the moment that you are chasing up those winnings then it would be that a trigger that  you do really make yourself that having that kind of desperation.

This is why its important on how you would really be treating up with gambling on which you should really be  that seeing this as a form of fun and entertainment and not something that you
you would really be thinking about being getting rich because its never that too easy on achieving such stuff not unless if you are really that very lucky.

Gambling with high expectations is not advisable the game is supposed to be for entertainment and not to get your hopes high on getting money to solve your problems. Anytime I gamble with the mindset of planning to use my wins for something it always ends up going sideways. You can never control the outcome all you have to do is gamble responsibly and don't think about an amount of money that is not in your possession

Gambling with an eye on winnings is one of the signs of gambling addiction. Gambling is for fun. A person who lives gambling as a means of making money brings destruction in life. If a gambler gambles and if he wins, the winning makes him feel very emotional, then the person will be more motivated to gamble.  If he does not have money, he will gamble with money by borrowing. Gambling should always be for entertainment. Gambling should never be outside of entertainment. Moreover, it is better to use a fixed income budget for gambling.

If a person gambles with an extra win in mind then that person will lose at some point. For a while he will feel very lucky if he wins, there will come a time when he will feel very lucky and he will put more money on every bet, but at some point he will find that all the winnings of his life have been lost. So gambling is a very emotional game, this game should be played carefully, otherwise, if it becomes an addiction, shares will not be able to return to normal life, there will be a lot of trouble in normal life.

you have said it all because most of our people who participate in gambling they do participate in gambling with a motive of winning every time so that is one of the things that lead them into addition so when you overestimate in gambling it will also cause you harm in gambling I do advise whoever that involve itself in gambling to think low for anything they have to do in gambling you cannot be expecting high always in gambling that will make you to be a frequent or a regular gambler and it will consume you a lot of funds so someone who want to gamble she'd have a limitation and know that gambling is all about to risk

Additionally, placing a win target on oneself can lead to emotional unrest  and can make a gambler love his life on false hope. Many gamblers that had to sell their properties just to be able to continue gambling, most of them do so perhaps out of a set target, in the hope that they will hit their target as they go on and use that money haven won to buy and replace those properties. Unfortunately for them, they become destitute through their own works.
There may not be available data to prove this but I think a larger number of the gamblers who win big life changing money are those that never set a winning target for themselves.

that's right, also with the many cases that have occurred about losses in my opinion it happens because most people who gamble have excessive expectations such as hoping that they can definitely get a big win and get profit with only a small capital, it is true that it can happen but unfortunately the difficulty of it happening makes them force themselves to continue gambling because they really want a big win to happen and get it.
gambling is something that involves luck and is probabilistic with its victory, so no one can guess when victory can be obtained and happen. we just need to play casually by not chasing a victory that is not yet clear, because when we want to chase victory it will only make us lose control which can make us forget that gambling is actually just a game of entertainment that is not recommended to consider it more than just entertainment. and when you have succeeded in getting a victory, you have to consider it carefully, don't let it be our opportunity to bet more freely, even though it can be done but the chance of losing is still just as big.

I don't think it's bad for a player to have a maximum winning limit, the problem is when that's your only criteria to stop playing.

To have a healthy game and be able to control it well, I believe that every player should have several daily or weekly limits:

• Maximum contribution limit (in value and quantity);
• Minimum and maximum limit of financial losses or gains;
• Maximum limit on time spent playing games;
• Minimum limit on social life or other entertainment that is not linked to betting.

Those who can control this definitely have a very low risk of becoming addicted to gambling, because by setting deposit, bet, time and loss limits, players protect their financial health, you avoid spending more money than you can afford to lose, manage your spending responsibly and avoid excessive debt and financial difficulties. Likewise, setting these limits reduces the risk of compulsive behaviors.

Exactly, a gambler with a winning in mind or goal can be a double edge sword, what I mean is that it could be beneficial or the opposite, for example if you hit your desired amount of winnings then its good because you can now know when to stop, worst you will want more, and the second one is that you will keep on gambling because you still chase your goal which is you will not notice that you are sinking yourself into a bad thing as you are blinded by your goal. So better play gambling with enjoyment in mind and not worrying about the money you will lose, so manage your funds to be used in gambling, if you know you cant afford to lose money then don't gamble at all because losing money in gambling is inevitable.

If they are motivate to make money from gambling, that will only makes them can not stops their gambling activity because they will thinks that they have another chance to win in the next rounds or days. They will make a target to achieve but they will not realizes that will be difficult to do as they must spends much money without knowing when they will wins. That will be dangerous for them because they can lose much money or even bankrupt from gambling and will only regret of what they do.

Gambling with a winning amount in mind will gives big risks to them because they will not see how long they can playing gambling and how much money they can use. They will not stops from playing gambling when they are not yet achieve their target. We already see many people gets deeper because of this so we must avoids that thinks in our minds so we can only use gambling for have fun and enjoy the gambling games.

This has come up in debate before, and based on my opinion, I always believe that if there were no reward system in gambling, there would be people who would still just take it for fun, but there would be no crowd in gambling compared to the number of popular gamblers we have today in the world. 

You are right to say that winning is a motivation in gambling, and it also acts as an attractive force. There's no human that feels so happy or rejoices over their failure, but everyone (anybody) will always feel happy and rejoice when they experience victory, and as long as gambling is concerned, a gambler will always feel much happier if they win their bet. It doesn't matter if the person is only gambling for fun or for profit. 

But on the note that people will not gamble if there is no profit attached, there are definitely a definitely a few people who will gamble just for fun. 

I'm more comfortable gambling when I know what I'm aiming for, like the amount I'm anticipating to win before even putting my stakes on it. The specificity brings more mind relaxation to me and I can calculate myself properly with my stakes breathing in mind the outcomes.

That's why I enjoy football betting more than others as everything feels natural and direct for me and I understand it better since I play too, so it feels like normal activity tho me .

       -     We gamblers should have the habit that once we experience a win, we should stop and come back another day to play again. Twice or thrice winning should be the target to stop for a while in gambling.

The problem with others is that when they win, they feel like they will lose the house edge, which in fact will never happen, and it's still unclear as a blow to the moon. Greed shouldn't exist in such situations, that's all.

Greed is more influencing the person when they are in the winning streaks, thinking that they can continue winning, more gamblers unable to control their emotions as they wanted to keep rolling and keep gaining more, but when they start expreincing losses they got frustrated and more aggressive, it's going to tough especially when you already reached your target but you choose to play and lose after, where regret mostly the next thing that happened.

Yes, that is most likely what is often a fact, in the sense that gamblers often apply their greed when they are in a winning situation, where I often hear that they feel a much bigger win is near, that doesn't make sense, because after all in gambling there is no connection between previous results and the next results, or what is meant is that different times will usually have different results, and that is why consecutive wins are quite difficult to achieve.

Difficulty in controlling emotions I think is a certainty and natural thing because defeat is not the desired result for gamblers who come with full intention to produce, maybe I would call them losers who always want to win but are not ready to lose, in the end the idea will only bring more significant regrets.

Agree with you, although the winning target may not be a large amount, but at least by calculating the winnings by adding it to the existing balance, at least it will be more interesting in making bets. But even though we have  such a target, even though the results may also lose, at least it could be because we can feel pleasure in gambling, so even if we lose at least it doesn't frustrate us.

But indeed, when losing of course there will always be a sense of disappointment experienced but still,because we can enjoy betting at that moment then at least we will also remain fine. Because after all, basically we also only bet with money that is ready to lose. So yes,the point is interesting when we take into account the number of wins that become a certain target in a bet.

But what happens when you, for example, reach your goal? Do you withdraw your money and never play again? And what if you lose? Do not stop until your goal is reached?
It seems to me that there can be no such goals in gambling (unless it is a jackpot), the most important thing is the average loss/profit. If you win on average, say, 50 dollars from each thousand you bet, then this is a success. If you lose, then no matter what goal you set for yourself, on average you will be at a loss. My idea is that the goal is not some specific amount, but to be a profitable player.

Yes, it doesn't matter, but at least you are on the right track by having the right mindset so that you have a realistic approach to your gambling, there is nothing else I will say other than to maintain that mindset so that you can stay safe and avoid various bad possibilities such as those experienced by some people, especially those who are addicted.

If we approach gambling with rational thinking, then I am sure that we will all say that gambling is not the right place to find a source of income, and placing realistic expectations must always be maintained, because gambling is full of temptations that can indirectly make a gambler fall unconsciously and continue to force himself to pursue victory, and avoiding various excessive actions must always be based on realistic thinking.

What do you think about the fact that this envisioned amount of winnings can be greatly overstated, and the total amount of all envisioned amounts of gamblers who are serious about gambling is many times greater than the budget of the casino they play in?

But it seems to me that the problem of gambling addiction has a different origin and is not connected with the imagined amount of winnings or the time spent gambling.

Whether a gambler will play more or less will depend on the "thickness of his wallet" and luck (RTP).

There are some important bets we do have high expectations on and most time we end up losing the bets not dye to luck but the kind of the expectation and money that was involved could have made us to preferably lose some of these bets. I have been a victim before and I've lost so many bets even more because I was so curious and confident of winning such a bet but ended up losing big with my friends because I was not calm watching what the outcome would look like. I have really learnt how to stay calm even when we are so sure if the outcome of a particular bet. It is good we are always careful to watch how the game would play rather then making a lot of noises.

Not maximum limit but a winning amount. Maximum limit is completely fine, the problem starts when you start gambling thinking how much you need to win to stop and the farther you are from that point the worse you are mentally and the more pressure you begin to feel. Gambling under pressure is always bad and it's very easy to overestimate your win chances by setting these win amounts.
For instance you want to double your money and will not stop until you do, but you get close to it at 190%, but that number in your mind will keep you going and risking it all for a very small additional win of 10%.

What you mean, on a personal level I think it has happened to me too, and they are bets that one says that one cannot and should not lose, even so things happen for a reason, this reminds us that in the casinos we are people who can lose at any moment, and in fact it is only more Likely , that is how things work for casinos, we have to Start from the fact that they have their house advantage and apart from that they are a business, that is something that we can never change, in the case that we do not want to feel that way, then we should put less money in the bets.

Gambling with the goal of winning a specific amount in mind is an attractive idea for many, but in reality it is a false and unrealistic idea. Gambling is a game of probability, and there is no guarantee of winning a specific amount regardless of the size of the bet or any such a strategy to be followed.

Focusing on achieving a specific amount while gambling can easily lead to addiction behaviors, where the individual becomes driven by his urgent desire to recover possible losses or make more profits even if reaching that amount in mind. 

It is always advisable to deal with gambling as a hobby, set a limit in advance on the spent amount (better to allocate a specific budget and not exceed it), and the most important one is not to try to recover losses.

Gamblers feel this reflexive thought over time. We all know the cons and pros of wagering high amounts, but it won't stop trusting our prediction unconditionally. Players could develop rational reasoning from the brain and individual experience. It's not enough to work with feelings alone. Combining feelings and experience will enable an easy understanding of how gambling works under probability.

Having the probability aspect in mind removes the surprise, mistakes, and frustration of losing. Accepting what we feel can push a player to wager a huge amount, and will end in a high rate of losses. Your advice of reducing the amount we wager is valid for all types of gamblers especially those who can't balance their thoughts and experiences.

Is there any advantage to setting gambling as a hobby? Don't you think that may lead to addiction? For me, gambling should never be taken as a hobby because a hobby is addictive. Instead of setting gambling as a hobby, I think regarding it as a source of passive income is much better because that will mean the gambler has a way of settle his bills and surviving and is only using gambling for to get income that has no atom of desperation attached to it. This is exactly how to gamble without fear.

Such expectations should not be kept in mind when gambling. And it is not the expectation that made you lose the bet, perhaps you were carried away by the mindset that you have made the right pick and prediction. You must have heard a lot of persons supporting the predictions and you think since the majority are in syn with this prediction then it is the right one.

Once we start thinking in such ways and not paying attention to what we think and convictions in our bet then we are bound to lose if luck is not on our side.  Sometimes we need to have good expectations, but we shouldn't let it cloud our reasoning and selection when we are gambling if not we may end up choosing the wrong picks and odds.

victory is the main goal of most people who gamble because victory is what is sought after, but it is true what you said that victory in gambling is not easy to get because gambling is a game of probability and luck, so the victory that can be obtained depends on the luck we have, if we do not have a portion of luck then we will never be able to win. but this tends to be ignored by them being confident that they can win for sure.
with those like that tend to only become addicted as you said, the desire to win that is in them of course becomes a motivation for them to continue betting and betting, whether it ends in losing or winning but because of the desire to win they will continue to bet. doing gambling as a hobby in my opinion is also better not, I mean do gambling properly by not making it something that tends to be important or needed, like a hobby. because in my opinion a hobby is something that tends to be important and needed to be done.

We should decide in advance what amount of money we will gamble with. If the amount is not fixed then we will use the money to gamble without accounting and it will appear that we have spent too much money on gambling without our knowledge. If gambling according to the plan can give loss then it is possible to recover the loss later but if we go outside the plan and only gamble then we will suffer a lot of loss financially. One can dream of earning 500 dollars by gambling with 100 dollars, but many gamblers lose 1000 dollars while earning this 500 dollars, but still they cannot earn this 500 dollars. When the amount is fixed, if we lose that amount by gambling on one day, then we will at least refrain from gambling on that day, so there will be no possibility of us being extra greedy. It has to be accepted that there is no point in losing all the money just because you want to win in gambling.

Most gamblers plan to win, betting until they win the bet. Many people do not stop their game even for a short time after winning the bet, but they continue it. Basically in this regard I think because of the excessive greed of all these players they can't stop betting, instead they keep on gambling. And those who do so are certainly in danger, rather, they are sure to face harm in the future. Because we know that winning and losing in gambling should take a break from gambling for a period of time which would be the right decision for a gambler. Moreover, gamblers need to understand that if they cannot stop gambling, then they must face losses at some point.

I agree with you. Gambling with the thought of winning and making it a goal is a big mistake in thinking. As you said we cannot control the amount of winnings. If someone has lost $100 and then thinks of targeting a win of $150 and stops, believe me you will not really be able to stop spinning your bets. You have to think that gambling will cost you money because it is part of having fun. The winnings you get will be used again in future bets. So stop thinking of earning money from gambling if you are a daily gambler.

Having a plan to win is normal but gamblers needs to realizes that is not easy and many times they will lose their money if they can not controls themselves. Many gamblers lose much money from gambling but that doesn't makes them stop their gambling activity because they still thinks that they can win for some money. If they can not realizes about controlling themselves in gambling, they will still losing their money without winning any money.

If they can win from gambling and can stops their gambling activity, they can control themselves in gambling and holds their greedy not to becomes bigger. Winning for some amount in gambling is something that many gamblers waiting so they must appreciate it by stopping from playing gambling and takes the money. But if they want to win for some money from gambling, they must realizes that will not easy to happen because gambling will not allows them to win easily.

That's a foolish assumption from someone who believes that gambling will make them wealthy. It is very unfortunate, but I guess they have to experience it to realize that they are wrong. 
 
Greed, temptation, etc.—it is all about the love of money, and this ends in no good but suffering losses. A true gambler enjoys their life gambling without the hope of winning, but those who aim to win have lost. That is how important it is for them to understand carefully the nature of gambling rather than getting fooled by those influences who say that they easily make money when it is just manipulated. 

Almost any gambler playing gambling wants to win money, as only this brings positive emotions. In my opinion it is impossible to get dopamine or adrenaline if for your gambling session will not be at least one win. If everything was different everyone would play gambling in demo mode and do not spend money. Try to offer to play in demo mode to someone who says he gets pleasure from gambling. I'm sure he will refuse.

It's a funny idea to set a specific goal for winning at gambling. To me, it sounds like "the more, the better." But our expectations don't always match our capabilities. And the sooner we begin to understand this, the more intact the funds we didn't expect to play with will remain. It is necessary to bet real amounts and not exceed expenses if such goals are not achievable at some point.

We all have that crave when we are wanting to gamble and aiming for that amount that are on our minds. It's hard to deal with that when you're totally do nothing but to gamble.

But if you're a busy guy and you have a lot of task to do in your job and within your family, you're having the thought of process that you are not obliged to win that amount and whichever amount you win, you're already happy with that.

That's why all you have to do is to make yourself comfortable with any outcome and win that you make. If not, all you'll gonna do is to make yourself satisfy with either losses or wins.

Addiction does not happen suddenly. It takes time and a positive environment to become addicted. The way we treat gambling, if it's addictive, it's better not to treat it that way. We can take gambling as a hobby but there is no problem if we control ourselves in that position. If gambling is viewed as a source of financial income then the gambler will become more dependent on gambling which should never be the case. A gambler's mind can have a variety of emotions. What amount he bet, how he will spend the money of that bet in his various activities, etc. will be exposed, so gambling should not be done for the purpose of hobby or financial income that makes additive behavior.

Having a target profit amount is actually a curse in gambling. You will keep wager and it might affect your betting pattern depending on the actual condition of your bankroll especially if you are losing too much while your target profit is already moving away due to your losses.

The repercussions is you might increase your bet or worst doing all-in bet just meet your target profit quickly since you are already incurred with losses. Playing freely without specific target profit amount will make you more concentrated on gambling and avoid greedy/risky bets which is the typical weakness of gambler.

Exactly how I thought of it to be,when one gambles with a particular winning amount in mind they are invariably working and definitely waiting for their pay as when due..
Like seriously this mindset of some gamblers usually come with a repulsive force cause when you think of a huge sum for a win and then you gamble it didn't show up,you go again, again and again it still didn't show up,what's next!?

You loose now Right and if one could sit down and imagine the losses made all this while trying to get that said amounts in mind,it's enough reason to stop gamble cause the end shall justify it.but sometimes along the line you might hit a jackpots but it's still not advisable to do so,just do your thing and live and let luck find you someday.

Exactly, as you said that it sounds like "the more, the better", it is a bad idea and will only hurt ourselves in the long run if we bring it or apply it in gambling.
Remember and understand that in gambling your hopes or beliefs will not be able to or will not always be able to change the results in the game, in the end victory will only come when you are lucky.

And I will also say that applying a winning target will only make it easier for us to fall and get carried away, because you will definitely continue to focus on that goal rather than considering various unwanted possibilities, and the impact is that you will actually experience more losses and regret, because if you set a winning target even though for example you have won a number of wins but if the amount has not reached your target then you will continue rather than cashing it out.

We agree on this, although some gamblers may already know that gambling can be addictive but addiction is not a choice, we know how bad the impact of addiction is and of course no one will ever want to experience the bad impact in their life caused by gambling, meaning addiction is not a choice but something that happens by going through a process first. So as much as possible we must be aware of the signs of addiction so that we do not end up with addiction unknowingly.

And this is why many people suggest gambling with the intention and purpose of seeking entertainment because when money is not your main goal then you will be slightly free from various impulsive actions that can make you end up with addiction unknowingly, and I think controlling yourself will also be easier when winning is not your priority, because usually uncontrolled emotions will only occur when you feel heavy to let go of something that has been lost.

Also when you start with a target in gambling and a winning amount in the mind, then if in the start you lose then the target become too much stiff and you may have to invest so much money in order to recover the loss and then get to the target. In some cases you will never reach to the target but lose all your money.

This mistake is done by those people who have a lot of expectation by gambling or they do not understand the philosophy of gambling and how it works. Experienced gambler will never set a target because they know that this is not a realistic approach.

This is also sound logic and I do not disagree with it. Only at the point of considering gambling as a hobby do I think it becomes a non-obligatory activity and can be abandoned. It would be far from being addictive.

Let's abstract it a bit to make it easier to understand. Well, when I allocate $100 to bets and assume that I should make at least $1000 more than the original amount, I have eliminated the factors of luck and expectation and I have started making decisions as if they were confirmed facts. Now what happens if I don't succeed in getting the amount I decided on from the beginning? Obviously, I will deposit more and more and enter the cycle of compensating for losses, or if I succeed in winning more than a thousand dollars, my confidence in my abilities will increase and I will not stop playing until what is expected happens, which is that I lose the entire amount again and go back to repeating the same scenario of compensating for losses. Here we are talking about intensive gambling and thus we are getting closer and closer to addiction. I hope the picture is clearer for you now.

For any action that has to do with money we must have a set limit and not lose, so in this sense when we are in a casino, which is one of the platforms where it is very easy to lose money, we must be smart and set a balance that we are willing to lose, and not go over it.

The most important thing in a casino is the money, the casino only wins 1 dollar and takes it, sometimes we do not give importance to 1 dollar, so this type of thinking is linked to our limits as players, it is always good to limit the money we are Willing to lose.

I have to accept the point you guys both made as regards to setting a limit and also following such limits so that you can easily reduce your loses ratio against the winning, indeed casinos are one place that you can lose your money easily so for that there is a need to make everything possible to control what you do with your money before you start gambling and how much you are willing to gamble with, sometimes, one can be tempted to gamble above their set limits, but then you only get the worste of your experience gambling in that way because you definitely end in regret anytime you go beyond you target.

however the chances of losing are greater so it is not a strange event if the money that is bet is lost, but when the bet that is made has succeeded in getting a profit like you who have a certain target, of course your confidence will increase because indirectly there will be thoughts about wanting to get more or feeling that you can still get another win and continuing the bet that is made is something that sometimes does happen, but the best choice is to cash it out.
making bets with a target is quite good, but sometimes we are a little shaky because there is an increasing sense of confidence, but when the bet is still made as you said and ends in defeat and what we do is put in more money to make another bet, of course that is something that leads to addiction, and it can be said that such thinking will lead to impulsive actions where there is awareness of the risks that will occur, but still do it because there is another urge that continues to push yourself to make bets even though you already know that it is risky.

Well this has a lot to do with how each person sees things, I have learned that one can give free rein to economies, impulses and feelings if and only if one establishes a sum of money that one is willing to lose, because if one loses one can no longer win, but one must have the discipline to not deposit more, because if one does not control it, things will get out of control and that is the worst thing in the world, it is something that I do not recommend under any Argument or Criterion , because it is money that is lost.

All that must thing to do because basically every gambler only cares about efforts to achieve victory without thinking about other things such as risk and the possibility of defeat.
Majority of gamblers when they experience failure must always think about trying it again and looking for other games or bets that can provide opportunities to produce the desired victory so that what is called control can never be determined.
Moreover, gambler will show different attitude and mindset when they have not started gambling session and have started it, they have very significantly different approach because each result will affect the way person thinks about what should be done.

That's why any amount as long as it is a profit shall do.

It's true that it's a curse and anyone who keeps on aiming with that amount is going to have trouble to themselves. Because they'll keep on aiming that even though it's obvious that it's hard to make and reach their targets.

What's best to do is for them to do it easily and make themselves familiar on the capacities that they can. Because it's best to go home and win any amount with a smile to our faces than to regret taking that and destroy your entire day for being too greedy.

Limits are usually and always important not only in gambling but even in most a most of our daily activities because you never can tel at what point you may not need do something so you don't expose yourself to so much risk that you have to regret in the long run, when it has to do with entertainment and money have to be spent, it's very healthy to set limits and as much as possible abide by them and make sure every measure is put in place not to exceed them so not to have regrets thereafter. There's definitely going to arise temptations to try again but you limit if there's one could help at times.

It's also important to follow the limits you've put for yourself ::)

When you experience that type of attitudes or experiments, the results are very bad most of the time, I say bad because you lose a lot of money, and we should be very Cautious when spending in a casino, so in this order of ideas it is not bad to sometimes exceed our limits, but with money that you are willing to lose, a little more than normal and if you can assume a larger loss , then you can assume that expense, that for me should be a premise , that is why I always insist that when Playing it should be done that way.

If a gambler is asked how much profit he is satisfied with, I think he will say that the more profit he takes from his gambling. Many gamblers often lose money because of the temptation to earn extra profits. First of all in gambling we have to have the mindset of being satisfied with small gains. If we are too greedy then it will be seen that we are losing all the money far from profit. An experienced gambler first chooses the gambling strategy that will give him the highest safety of his money, and then he is satisfied with the small profit in the gambling because he got his capital back.

I think a gambler should realize that when they place a bet or spin the wheel they will lose their money. This is important because most gamblers only think about winning big, making money and having fun. Gambling will make you lose your money and winning is just a bonus and you will not have a good chance there. Sports betting can be fun if you really enjoy the game but you are paying for the fun of placing a bet so I think it is better not to try to think the bookmaker will give you a return on the bet you placed. I hope you can understand what I mean.

You need to consider the amount that you are using might be gone in a little while, do not put any pressure but better to have that acceptance inside you, instead of thinking of winning amount much better to keep on track with your budget, I get your point that most gamblers thinks about winning and forget the important factor to avoid getting addicted.

Accept whatever the outcome and always have that control on both your time and your finances, it's important to keep on track and not to allow greed to control you while you are still in sessions.

Winning the more money from gambling is a dream for many gamblers but they must realizes that gambling will not gives the big winning to them easily. We can not have a target about how much money we can win from gambling because that can attract us to keeps playing gambling without stopping from gambling for a while. We must to thinks about the effect that we can get from gambling if we don't stops our gambling activity.

When playing gambling, we need to thinks about the fun from playing gambling and not thinks about how much money we can win. If we can have fun from gambling and remember when we must stops playing gambling, we will try to control ourselves and stops playing gambling immediately. We will not thinks about winning some amount from gambling because we know that will difficult for us and can makes us lose for much money.

Totally! Modesty, self-discipline, and a plan are all the gambler needs to be satisfied and have a good time, in my opinion. And when we talk about improving upon our mistakes, we should strive to get better at these qualities and to have a better plan for the future.

Gambling with the idea of winning or the amount of winnings in mind can easily lead a person to become addicted to gambling. Gambling should always be taken as fun and never as a means of earning. I have seen it myself and am a victim of this myself. I have lost money from the gambling platform whenever I have participated in the game considering winning and earning money here I have not been able to cash out the money from the gambling platform. The days when I didn't use gambling as a means of making money, but only participated in gambling for fun, I won at gambling. So this gambling should never be taken seriously, always take gambling as entertainment and gambling for fun, I think there is no harm.

The last sentence is a rhyme and a golden one. I wish you well, thanks for sharing your experience!

I think the majority of players set a winning amount or goal before they stop. I believe even those who say they only play for fun also set a goal. I also set a daily quota whenever I play. I even set a limit on how much I can afford to lose per day. If I lose my current bankroll or deposit, then it’s over for the day. I’ll just come back again tomorrow or the next day. But sometimes I can't control myself, so I make another deposit on the same day.

Yes, I agree, we should try, but with intelligence, if in a bet we were putting about 10 or 15 dollars, in which we should try we should do it with 1 or 2 usd, because if we continue losing at least it will not be done with that much money, and if that happens it is because it must be within the money that we are willing to lose, it is not good to risk money that we cannot lose or that we have committed, because our life is managed in terms of money , for everything you need money and to spend it irresponsibly, that is not the idea.

If you would really be liking yourself on trying out to sustain for long period then it would really be just that ideal that you should really be dividing your bankroll on which its really that something ideal on doing so.
But we do know that there will really be those individuals who would really be loving on making those all-in kind of bet and this is why they do really end up on being impulsive just because they cant really be able to accept out their fate or simply on what just happened. On the time that you will really be having that kind of winning amount in mind on the time that you will be playing gambling or making up bettings then this is something that will really be making you desperate. This is why it would really be that recommended that you should really know on what you are really that doing and on what you are really that dealing with.
You cant really just that make yourself expecting something positive because gambling is really just that random and also it will really be basing up with luck factor which this is something
that needed up for you to win.

someone who test gambling very serious it's like someone who is addicted in gambling but we we don't understand it that way what makes people to be conscious in gambling it is because of their expectation in gambling many of the gamblers that take gambling very serious they do that based on the amount they are expecting to win in gambling that way elevate them from poverty and also involving so serious in gambling because of what they have lose so far in gambling so this are the two things that made some people to take gamble in very serious but when you ask them they will not be able to explain to you the reason why they are they are taking gambling,  but they keep on convincing us that their are lover of gambling and that's the common reason they are serious in gambling.

Op, every gambler want to win despite that it is an established fact that losing is inevitable in gambling, when you bet a game I believe your potential win is always in your bet slip and that should be your expectation, the more you increase your stake, the more your potential winning increases, but having a particular amount in your mind as a gambler might lead you into trying everything possible to increase your stake and in so doing if you lose, you lose more money if it favours you, you win big, this happens sideways but the negative side is more than the positive side, but want you know that fun only exist in gambling when you win, gambling without winning does not have anything to do with fun, gambling involved money, how will you gamble with your money with the expectation of winning and we call it fun, it only becomes fun when you win or when you don't gamble at all.
Op your thought during any gambling session does not guarantee your winning, winning just come as a result of either luck or predictions as the case may be.

I think this is one of the stages that the average player goes through. There comes a moment when the desire to bet all your money becomes inevitable and he does it. Of course, some overly cautious players have never done this, but their number is extremely small. Even I bet the full deposit when I was under the influence of the strongest excitement. But after that, I forever remembered that this should not be done, although I saw that many players warned that it was dangerous to do and violated money management. When I went through this myself, then I understood everything, only by action, and not by the words of others.

Doing your hobbies (including gambling) is key to having a good time. And, you are totally right - good management of the funds you are okay to spend to have some thrill doing it is going to make your experience a lot better.

Yes, there would really be those individuals who would really be turning out to have that  good control towards themselves and there are ones who do really fail on doing so. It would really be so hard
for them to have that kind of moderation on the time that they will really be experiencing up some issues in regarding about into the things that they are really dealing or currently doing.
When you do play gambling then you should really be that wary on the actions that you are really that taking and never ever make yourself that being delusional because on the time or moment that
you do find yourself having those kind of approach towards gambling then it will really be that making  yourself potentially be experiencing some issues or problems. Money management would really be
something on which you would really be needing but on the time that you do find yourself having some issues then it would really be that so damn hard to get out specially on the moment
that addiction would caught you out.

Just as a gambler cannot predict whether the outcome of a gamble will go in his favor or against him, a gambler has no idea of how much profit a gamble will bring. That is, a gambler only invests his money in gambling and he fixes a certain amount if luck is in his favor and if he can apply his skill the result may be in his favor. It has happened to many that first he has lost a large amount and then he has used a larger amount for gambling to recover the loss, so it has been seen that even in the second step he has lost money in gambling. Every work should take a break, if there is no break between work then our brain will be able to think in a new way and our mental thinking will change a lot. 

People who believe in this and believe that those who take their decisions with pauses are more likely to see results in their favor. A lot of thinking is required and we have to make a gambling decision with a lot of thinking.

Winning and losing in gambling is completely uncertain i.e. it depends entirely on luck. A gambler can never guarantee before gambling that he will win from his gamble as the result is highly unwanted.

So the gambler has to keep in mind one thing while gambling that he should gamble through his self control i.e. not to get over addicted. I don't consider gambling as a crime but over addiction to gambling is a crime because there is a high chance of losing. If a person gambles according to the plan, he will take a break even if he loses the gamble or wins. We see this trend among professional gamblers. They set a certain amount of money every day and then gamble with that money. On the other hand, those who are over-addicted never want to give up their gambling. Every person who gambles should gamble according to a proper plan.

Let me make an instance that we pay money to play without expecting to win money in return. If you've ever visited a video gaming house before you'll understand that gambling without winning can be fun just like people play video games with money without winning money. You can play gambling and enjoy the moment even if you lose your ticket. What matter is what you perceived about gambling, either as entertainment arena or a money making platform. The former have fun playing despite losing or winning but the latter feel depressed when they lose.

Gambling with amount in mind is like having goal to achieve but it most likely end up in vain. The potential winning can be tricky sometime and you'll probably lose the game simply because you want to hit the target of certain amount by either adding more games or increasing your wager. It's good to make your mind on the amount to play in order not to influence by the potential win.

Gambling should be a hobby of sorts and be experienced in such a way. It's not going to be a main source of income for anybody, but it should rather be a way of getting entertainment and thrill once in a while. That is how, in my opinion, there wouldn't be problems that you described, with sums that you are okay to spend in mind.

This is precisely what leads to more losses. I usually take a break from gambling after another loss. I, like many other gamblers after a loss wants to win back the lost money. I am well aware that playing gambling with such an attitude riskier than usual, so I try to block this desire. At such a moment I try to accept the loss, rest and move on. Gambling is not going anywhere, you can return to it in a week or two. So after losing there is no point in rushing somewhere.

I have noticed and skipped that topic for several times already, but find it impossible to resist not to comment. I dont really get what OP was talking about. First I thought that “winning amount in mind”, that is a situation, when a person has placed a bet, and hasnt won yet, but he already have a plan how to use his winning and that person plans to use money as a bet. I would say that a person should not rush that way to place another bet. Better wait when one bet is settled, then move to other.

It's more like setting a goal for how much you want to win, and if you achieve that, then you can consider yourself successful. This is necessary for every gambler, especially the serious ones, because without a specific goal, it becomes difficult to know when to stop. This can lead to not winning at all, as sometimes, even when we're ahead, we tend to become greedy until our luck changes, resulting in losing everything.

It's a fact, things are like that, what happens is that sometimes players make big bets because they want to test how good their luck is? If it will be good or bad for that moment, obviously I'm one of those who sometimes risk a little more, for example I go with a bet applying the martingale, but with 5 or 10usd, if I do it 4 or 5 times I don't do more, if I lose in the first or second attempt either, but sometimes it's good to risk like that, knowing that what you say is true, our chances of winning are very minimal.

Weird. Isnt just winning is already enough? Isnt to win is a good goal before starting a game? Because from “winning a specific amount” it start to look a bit like chasing losses. While trying to win a specific amount, a gambler might bet again and again, until it is to late to stop. I would say that having such s goal is dangerous. I would better place a bet and hope I was right at might prediction, then be happy about it, then trying to win a specific amount.

Here in my country we can use $2 to stake up to 20 times because in some local and online betting the minimum amount a gambler can use to stake a game is 100 naira, which means you can stake 20 or more bets with $2, and guess what. You can be satisfied with it because for you to stake up to 20 times in between you have spend a lot of time on the betting shop. Although betting with $2 is depend on what the gambler can afford to risk, some will prefer to risk only $1. But we have more gamblers that can spend more on gamble and they are not addicted either, it's just what they can afford to risk.

Well that is a huge advantage, because I would be totally willing to just enjoy, 2 dollars is still money, because as I have said many times, sometimes you have to give importance even to 1 dollar, because if we are missing 1 dollar to be able to play in game X, and if we don't have it we wouldn't play, so I think that is very good, because betting 20 times and having the broad options to win is very good, how great your country is, those opportunities should not be wasted, and since they are Nairas it should be in Nigeria, wow, I like Nigeria more and more, I have seen a lot about Nigeria in videos and I like its culture, and especially its people.

From my observation of what you narrated, I think that from the angle whereby people understand the concepts of gambling, I think that they participate in gambling base what they had in mind, a gambler knows it staking limits and you can't displeased yourself in gambling in order to pleased other fellow gambling participants,

So what I'm saying in nutshell is that people who people who placed big amount in bet and think of wining such bet is people who has undergoes different risks of gambling, but a newbie or novice in gambling should not such ideology to stake what it can't afford to lose in order to win large amounts of funds in gambling, so from my principles of understanding gambling, I know very well that gambling has to do with risk but take the risk with precaution.

Absolutely right, but not everyone is going to hit the jackpot... Gambling with a winning amount In mind is a wrong mental construct to approach the game...I even see it as a way of getting addicted to it, because you would try multiple times just to get that winning amount in your head... gambling is all about luck, it's important to play for fun purposes only so that you don't get disappointed by the results if it doesn't play out in your direction

Good thinking, I also believe it, where people who have an orientation towards money in gambling then he is the one who will experience addiction faster and lose more money than people who just play for fun.

The thought process affects a person in understanding an object, so with gambling, use your brain to talk about the possibilities in gambling, especially in games based on luck.

Most gamblers are not always satisfied with the little amount they win, they are always wanting more. That’s why, after winning a little amount of money, they will want to gamble with it just to increase it. At the end, most of them do end up losing everything, even the little win that they had when they started gambling.

If you are gambling for fun, then there is no way that you are going to be addicted to gambling. The only people that I know get addicted to gambling are the ones who are gambling for the sake of money. They are the once’s that I know who get addicted to gambling because they are always desperately in need of money, and after winning, they always have the confidence that if they keep on gambling, they will increase their win.

I don't think any gambler will be stupid to get this kind of mindset and also want to gamble. It's only logical to see a person that win or lose without a reason than losing because you're to greedy with a define amount of money on mind. I'm not sure if that is longer gambling but a way to make money, not a way to fun but a way to look for money and that beat the intension of gambling.

Even though you are the gambling freak and likes casino very well, it will not end well when you have a definite amount amount of money to be made. You will lose everything to gambling before you win something frkm any casino that you bet your money into.

Here lies the diversity of gambling where people usually gamble with two types of goals. A group of people who participate in gambling for money will certainly react strongly if you lose a bet. But those who gamble primarily for entertainment do not experience any negative reactions if they lose their bets. However, those who bet with the intention of winning money are the ones who mainly face large losses at the end of the bet. So mainly entertainment should be given priority to participate in gambling.

Having such a goal is a little dangerous when it's realistically small and more dangerous if the player expects to win a huge amount. Setting a high goal in gambling develops a negative impression on a player and increases his chances of chasing losses. But, if a player got in mind to achieve a smaller amount, he can achieve his goals, and he'd have no reason to go for more.

That's not true... People get their motivation from different sources and sadly, that's the only way they can quit or keep the consistency.. I mean, you barely know which ticket will cut it, so how do you get enticed?

There's absolutely nothing fun about gambling with a specific amount in mind... Why do I really need to feel entitled to a win? It looks to me like that's just another way to assert too much pressure, there by, counting on more losses.
Having this kind of thought is as good as hoping to get a jackpot on a a particular ticket... meanwhile, somethings don't just happen when you want them to.

You are right! And I think fun should be the corner stone for people to strive for, not the money. Because that way, it's better for yourself in the long run.

It could be dangerous if you don't have any self-control and more likely to chase more winnings. And when you thought that you are lucky already, comes in the late games some unfavorable result to you. The OP mind have been correct though we should have a profit in mind, but when the game begun, it's very hard to control and even if we have that money in our pocket, who knows, maybe you will continue till you win or lose in the end.

As for my experience, sometimes I fall for this, as again, as I was playing, most of the time this philosophy have slip my mind and so I will have to really master myself and be in composure that I should be happy already with the winnings in my hand already.

Totally, it's important to not only have this thought in mind but to utilize it in the situations where it's needed. I wish you good times ahead and to master yourself even better ;D

Fun is addiction dont you know? When you gamble for fun you tend always to want to have fun every day and most people spend so much time gambling every day with the idea that they are gambling for fun. And if you check how much they must have lost you will understand that it is no more fun again because they start chasing wins to recover from the loss—gradually their mood changes then it's now about the win. Gambling for fun is just an idea on the surface that blinds so many people into gambling to think they are not addicted to gambling. It takes time for them to realize that they have been addicted for years and would quit gambling.

That's a beautiful talk, our mindset towards gambling matters and we need to preserve it. Anyone desperate for the money will always face gambling on wrath, except in a few cases where the gambler is lucky. Anything we want so badly will always cause desperation and desperation will always ruin gamblers. Though it's not so bad to gamble for the money but we should never let it get to the level that it will be pushy or gambling as if our lives depend on it, the end will never be fine.

If we told ourselves the truth as well, you'll hardly find those who are gambling typically for the fun of it and yet some are making money with that mindset. This can only suggest that one can still pursue their gambling goals regardless of whether it is for the money or fun, but they need to have a viable plan on how to make it work for them without hurting themselves. If you are gambling for the money, you should have your plans on the strategy to use, the budget and risk management. These must also align with the kind of person you are because if you calculate them wrongly, there is no way it will not affect your psychology when you are losing and this can cause some undesired ripple effect that may not limit it to frustration.

I agree with @TopTort777 that it could be a dangerous goal. We must not set an exact number because a problem might happen.

I am doing this now.
Let's say the minimum withdrawal is $20 and a gambler deposited $10. Now, what's next? If he wins and makes it to $20. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
Now, let's say the $10 increased to $19 so he has no choice but to gamble more and then he wins another $10 which makes his total $29. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
No exact number but as long as I hit that minimum withdrawal point, I stop and think. That way it will help us decide what to do next. If we are satisfied with it, walk out, withdraw, and enjoy it.

             -      Gamblers don't have the same goal in mind; to be honest, what about other gamblers whose only goal is to have fun and who don't care if they lose? Right? It seems that entertainment is really the only reason for gambling.

Although there are others who really gamble because they consider it a source of income, others cannot complete the day if they don't gamble every day of their lives, and these types of gamblers are really addicted.

Someone who makes gambling a place to have fun and doesn't care when they lose, in my opinion is one way to avoid addiction, with the note that even though they don't care about losing, they still shouldn't chase the loss. Or in other words, when they lose they will stop gambling and come back after having some money that can be bet. However, if they don't care when they lose but still gamble, that's not good either. However, it should also be remembered that this can also be the beginning of addiction, even though at first they have fun and can stop, but when it becomes a habit then there will be an urge where when they don't gamble it's like something is missing. This must also be considered, don't let that feeling control your mind, because if it's like this then it will still end up with the same case.

$100 invested in Kaspa months ago is now six figures, I am not saying that all crypto investment are like this but I will rather take my chances with something that's likely to happen than gambling, $100 is too high for gambling even if I am making thousands in a month, this is just common sense, gambling is wired to be unfair to gamblers.

My advice is it is better not to have your mind on hitting the jackpot as a gambler, you will start misbehaving sooner or later,  expectations over expectations, winning is not a must in gambling, lower your expectations, risk very little amount.

I think a wise gambler never makes jackpot as motivation and goal. I agree with you that setting limits in gambling will cause someone to keep chasing losses. I personally never set win and loss limits or limits on how much return I have to get to make a withdrawal. I think if we withdraw all our money then one day we will make a deposit again. So I prefer to keep my money and just have fun in small amounts. I know there are gamblers who want to get big money from gambling to change their lives. But from my experience, it is very rare for gamblers to be successful. Most gamblers who try to chase wins will become greedy and emotional and eventually lose everything.

Playing casino without thinking about losing? Like drinking without a hangover, it sounds great until you wake up with a pounding head and empty money. The issue is that you are essentially allowing yourself to keep running towards that high when you overlook the losses. You believe you have control, but the house always wins at last

The reality check is that you're not having fun and you're addicted if you stop gambling when you're broke and then start back-off when you have money once more. Money reflects your decisions, not only about what you buy. You are not controlling your money if you cannot control your gambling, hence tragedy is almost certain

Gambling occasionally is fine. You have to be sincere with yourself though. Are you seeking escape from something or are you doing it for fun? Is the game running you or are you in control? Maybe it's time to back off if you can't respond those questions honestly.  One should choose to gamble; it should not be a need. Keep it from ruling your life

Well well, I definitely understand the angle you are coming from, and sincerely, it makes sense to me.
But also understand that there are people who are so obsessed with gambling in the sense or to an extent that they will rather spend that $100 on trying their luck with gambling, rather than invest that money on a crypto asset where they will be forced to wait several months, if not years, before they can have the opportunity of cashing out anything reasonable or tangible.

But again, like I said before, I understand the angle you are coming from and I buy into the same opinion as you, I will rather invest my $100 on a good crypto asset, than risk it on gambling, gambling should be done with no expectations in mind, not even about lowering expectations, but one who really wants to enjoy gambling should do it without any form of expections in mind, because when there are no expections, there is no cause to be disappointed when games don't turn out in the favor of the gambler.

The house always has the win, period. We are not discussing a laid-back poker night with friends; this is a calculated system meant to drain your funds. It goes beyond simply the lost money as well. It concerns the illusion of control. Though in actuality the game is playing you, you believe you are making decisions. The adrenaline hooks you; you chase that elusive win and before you know it you're not in control at all. Dancing to the tune of the casino, you are a puppet on a string.

A gambler and the casino have no kind of cooperation in their connection. Its a predator-prey relationship. Though you believe you are running toward liberation, you are really caught in a dependent loop. Thats being played; its not winning.

Knowing when to turn away is the prudent action. Its time to change if gaming ceases to be enjoyable and begins to seem like a need. This is about being wise with your life as much as it is about your money. Like any tool, money is one that may be used or abused.

Of a truth, different gamblers set different goals in mind before gambling but for  a gambler to gamble for fun and wouldn't mind about the outcome of his gamble, it means he's financially buoyant and doesn't need the proceeds from winnings in gambling to survive so you don't expect his objective to be the same with someone who's gambling because of what he stands to gain. That being said, it's very important for a gambler to set out his expectations before engaging in any gambling activity so it helps him to always remain in check and not exceed his limits

Players like yourself who possess a strong level of self-control can impugn the withdrawing after winning strategy. It'll save you the stress of depositing money often. Those who can't hold the urge when their balance isn't empty may withdraw to deposit later. Whatever works for a player such that he could be in control is admitted.

It is a fact, with the game one should never expect something with too much Expectation, because in most cases we can lose, so that is where that logic comes from that we should never forget, first limit the money, second if we already have our money willing to lose then all we should do is bet and enjoy, and whatever the result is, enjoy it and accept it, nothing more, it is a Harmless logic.

that's right, expecting too much in a game especially one that involves money like gambling will only make us confused when we get results that are not in accordance with our own expectations which of course the main expectation is victory while the most likely thing that will happen is defeat. discussing gambling it is not strange that many people experience defeat or many cases of people experiencing defeat whether it is small or large in number but it is something that will absolutely happen and be experienced by the players.

enjoying the game and accepting results that tend to be disappointing is the key, to avoid unwanted things or greater risks then we must have a wise mindset because many cases of the negative impacts of gambling are due to the wrong mindset such as hoping full of gambling by really wanting to win while what is done is based on emotion alone by not seeing the big risk side that will occur. besides that we must be able to do research on ourselves by having to be ready to experience defeat or lose money because that is something that is certain to happen.

It sounds confusing and also very few people can do it, because once again every time we play we will definitely want to win. But the point conveyed here remains self-control when feeling defeated. No one wants to lose their money, even though they are consciously doing something very risky by gambling. As a gambler who is usually and can still be said to be able to control himself, I think this is a little better. Because we can continue to gamble but at the same time it does not affect the financial condition. Just imagine when we can't control ourselves, it will greatly affect our finances and it is not impossible that we will also be lacking in everything even though previously we were still fine. Actually this will come back to ourselves, how we can think far ahead before doing something.

When someone have a winning amount in his mind, he must realizes about how big his chances to win in gambling. Many people already try that but they can not win from gambling instead just lose their money and even many of them lose much money because they can not control themselves when playing gambling. That is why we can not have that winning amount in mind because that can makes us lose control and can not follow our limitation in order to prevents the big lose. 

We can lose many times in gambling so that is why we must prevents the lose becoming bigger. We must not think about a winning amount in mind and only thinks about have fun in gambling so we can enjoy our time to playing gambling. Besides that, we will not playing gambling excessively because we know what is the risks for us.

That's the main problem, unrealistic goals and expectations...if you hope to win thousands of dollars with less than a dollar then I consider it to be wishful thinking although it's possible for it to happen but it's not something that happens everyday, it's based on luck..A lot of people find themselves in this category playing with little amounts and hoping on that win to change their life, it only makes you more frustrated and miserable

Putting yourself into a situation where you wanted to try it more and hoping that luck may bring you on that state where you will win huge amount of money from that small deposit that you add in your bankroll, it's your contentment might help, if you are good in controlling yourself not to be greedy and just enjoy with small amount of earnings, that might lead you to enjoy yourself playing your favorite game or gambling sport that you bet.

Here is a mind game and if you misunderstand and hope for something that is not real, don't be disappointed or angry. There will definitely be a lot of losses and once you are lucky it is also very enjoyable no matter how much. What needs to be underlined is how gambling can entertain us without having to cause continuous regret.

Maybe for many people there will always be problems when they lose but that is part of gambling and over time with this activity most people should also be aware of the risks. Your suggestion to limit things in gambling has been applied by many people but sometimes there are still those who are fierce to the point of forgetting which makes their condition dangerous and uncontrollable.

I think we should strive to possess the same amount of self-control to try this strategy ourselves one day, if somebody didn't already ;D

On the moment that you had made out yourself on believing that you could make easy money with gambling then it would be better that just let them be, sooner or later they would really be changing up their entire
actions basing up into their currently doing or on the moment that you would be experiencing the reality. In speaking about winning amount in mind when you do gamble then it is really that truly depends
that much recommended that you should really be that needing to have some approach on things. Gambling should really be that fun and having that kind of respect because this is where boss mans copied into.

As for the knocking involved then it would be that obvious on how you should really  that gonna do on the time that you would really be having that for good but of course you should be
having that kind of knowledge on which you could really be able to make yourself wary and act accordingly basing up on what are those things that you do able to encounter.
There would really be conditions on which you would really be needing up on doing such act or condition.

When you do have this kind of mindset on having that winning on playing gambling then it would really be just that making your desperate and just like on what you have said that on the time that you do gamble
and having that kind of thinking that you could win up and be that becoming so confident then it would really be the most common recipe for you to end up on a disaster. This is why it would really be better that on the moment that you do play gambling then you should really be just that minding about on having fun but cant really be able to blame that there would really be those people who would really be
having those kind of switch up on which on the time that they would be losing money then this is where they do become desperate and this is why we can really see out such changes.

I think the intention to try more is an action that leads to an excessive aspect, while everything that is excessive in gambling is always an action that is strictly prohibited, because it does not mean that by trying more you will be able to get more wins, and also related to hopes and expectations for luck, it is actually something that will not always be able to change the results in the game to be according to what you expect, in the end it still doesn't matter how high your hopes are if luck doesn't come then defeat will occur, and when your trials are much more than usual then of course that means the amount of your defeat is also very likely to be even greater.

This means that it is better to gamble moderately and never think or have the intention to gamble excessively, because even though each trial is done with a small bet amount, if it is too often then the amount of loss can also be large.

This is something that can be attacked with a lot of intelligence, for example when there is hope of winning what you are playing, sometimes it is not good, such hope must be cut off, because it can mean opening the key to spending our money, and yes , one way is to limit the money we are going to spend, that is how many problems are avoided and many misunderstandings are Avoided, then I consider that the hope that should be had must be real, if hope is extended to lose it should not be done, it should be cut off, hope should be based on something more real and not on something that makes us lose everything.

Unrealistic expectations are one of the most common causes why people get into money problems, after all this is something that we see with traders as well, as in their attempt to make profits, they invest in shitcoins thinking they can make 1000x or more with their investment, when we know very well the chances of such occurrence are very low, while the chances they could lose everything they invested in those coins is in fact very high.

Well, that's right, I agree with your opinion where on several other pages I also mentioned that these hopes and expectations are one of the causes that can cause serious problems in a gambler's financial situation, or maybe I would also say that because of these hopes and expectations, responsible gambling is often difficult for the majority of gamblers to do.
I think we are all aware of how these hopes work and the effects that can arise from these hopes, where it is clear that when you put your hopes on anything and if the results are not in accordance with your expectations, then it is clear that disappointment is very possible, and let's see how gambling actually is, which is an activity that is not based on any guarantees and certainties to always be able to get the results we expect.
Not much different from the world of trade or investment, although it may be slightly different from gambling, but still setting limits on expectations is something that someone must do.

Unfortunately, only a few people have such thoughts, the level of sanity is often lost if one's emotions are really provoked by excessive gambling in using money, not a few people also have a gambling plan out of control.

I have to admit that when having a winning target in gambling it will continue to force us to continue to win gambling even though the deposit money has run out and deposi for the next time to get a win, until the money we have is completely used up in gambling. What a stupid concept.

I like it when I hear a gambler who is in control of his own bad habit. It's like being a professional in this kind of thing because they already know what awaits them if they keep on playing and that is losing. So, what's best to do is to keep disciplined and just bet what you can afford to lose.

Take action when you think you are near getting addicted to gambling. If you cannot stop yourself from playing for a day then that must mean something.
Now, if a gambler can still prevent himself from playing for one day then that also means he is still in good shape and is not prone to gambling addiction. That's what I used to identify myself and it worked pretty well for me. 

Strategies of gambling is something you need to do on your own not initiative of someone, that's why we don't go far in gambling, as gambler what we need to do is to ensure that we have at least have self control in gambling, if really we want to make well in gambling, I know quite well that gambling has to do with time and understanding but if you don't hold your temper I don't you can control yourself, do you know that some people doesn't have Strategy in gambling they just participate in gambling because they wish to participate in gambling, so I believe so, gambling is something you need to understand its procedures.

We should not only have everything you said but to be ready to use it. Overall, it's easy for us to have all needed plans in mind, but it's much harder to execute them afterward ;D

Yes, it would really be that easy to say on which this isnt really just that limited on gambling alone but also in other things as well on which we would really be making out those actions
on the moment that you would really be thinking up about on stopping or having a break then you would really definitely be failing on doing so. On the time that you would really be playing
up gambling and having that kind of mindset or thinking that you would gonna win, then this is something that will really be that making you desperate and this is something that will
really be that putting up into your mind that you will gonna win on next bet or roll you would be having and this is something that would really be disastrous into this aspect.

I think the opposite mindset should be deployed here and gambling with only a certain amount of money. Once the money is gone the gambling amount that you set aside you should be done with that episode. If you win then you take the overall investment and then some and reevaluate. I think this is a better idea.

In some cases, a player looking to gamble just for fun and without targeting any wins is better equipped to manage stopping when it's due because such individuals are not tied to the outcome. This can enable them to gamble for entertainment value only, hence passing time casually without developing any restlessness that might provoke certain underlying unresolved issues; instead, this helps them cultivate a well-balanced gambling lifestyle.

Nonetheless, whether one is gambling with an objective or simply for the heck of it, the possibility of addiction cannot be ruled out. Understanding where one needs to draw the line and having a check on oneself is what that keeps any gambling activity to remain within its limits.

In gambling, just desire and motivation do not guarantee success. Luck is one of the factors that combine with motivation and just goals to ensure self-control, as well as an understanding of the risks, all very important aspects to keep gambling activities under management and make them not self-destructive.

Yes, think the opposite, in the sense of not thinking or imagining about winning but imagine what if you lose and lose a lot of money, this will cause a sense of worry that will eventually make a gambler only dare to bet a minimum amount and when they win then as you said where I am also quite sure that they will immediately secure the amount of victory compared to continuing the game by applying greed.

In gambling or any risky activity, focusing yourself or your mind on various unwanted possibilities should be emphasized more than imagining everything that you may not get, and this is why the ability to accept the consequences of risk is something that must be possessed by a gambler.

This happens a lot in memecoins, I don't know, but sometimes I see the children of altcoins and I realize that the enthusiasts of these coins put a large amount of money in, and wait for it to do its big pump, although it is a bit like that in respect of making money I consider that you have to have a lot of faith and a lot of patience for the movement to happen, and I remember very well how Doge was one of those hopes that thanks to the push of Doge made many win, but it is always a big risk, a risk that at least I do not take, I fully trust in bitcoin and its movements, always betting on winning a lot of money is entering into a great hope and that hope is sometimes difficult to happen, sometimes it is better to bet on something that can happen even if you earn little than to establish our money in something difficult.

When amount of money is fixed in your daily gambling, it will be easy for you to stay long in gambling and you will enjoy the benefits of gambling because you are not budgeting above your capacity whether you win or lose, nothing will stop you not to gamble the next day. I know is not easy to stop gambling when losing and you still have money to gamble more, but if you have a certain amount of money you use to gamble daily or weekly, it will be easy for you to put stop at the moment without anybody advise from the gambling center.

When you win from gambling, don't spend all in gambling so that you will not going to beg people to borrow you money to gamble, because is very common among some gamblers who don't have mature experience on gambling.

Some times we forget about the limitation of ours and chasing the big win and at the end of the day when when we get up to the chair we see the loss amount was bigger than as expected. And this is also a big issue in the gambler life especially to the addicted gambler who don't have control in the self when they do the gambling.

I  do gambling for the fun like most of the time I make bet on the sports and I am in safe in the regard of this. And I want to say before starting gambling everytime we should make an strategy on both loss and win so than we will not gonna put in to the risk.

@LUCKMCFLY, I believe that those gamblers that actually have a winning amount in mind before gambling are people that are not yet very experienced in gambling because if they are, then they will understand that it's very possible that they can even lose every money they had in gambling and yet may not archive the winning they expected. It's possible they could also get some winning but because the amount is not yet up to their expectations, they will keep gambling Just to multiply the winning, as they keep gambling, they may still end up to lose the previous winning.

I always say it, a gambler without a goal will lose all his money most of his sessions, and that because he gambles to have fun and not to win x amount. it's really importante to have it clear how mucho profit are we chasing before start gambling. And that's the only way to walk away with money and don't leave the casino with a bad taste for the sensation of winning big and then lose it all.

I agreed with what you have said because it's true. The reason why it's called gamble is because we are not even sure if we might be able to win, and that's what makes it to be a kind of 50/50 thing and if care is not taking, the gambler with such mindset might lose more than what he budgeted for gambling. If a gambler with the mindset of winning a specific amount on gamble losses, he will definitely continue gambling because he has not gotten what he needed.

Well, that's what it's all about , giving solutions for those who want to accept the advice, otherwise things work differently, giving advice on how to control emotions? For me that doesn't apply, we are human, we can't control emotions 100% , but by controlling money we can automatically control everything, because the Emotions come out on the Surface and the Impulses , but the party ends when the money runs out.

things like this that must be avoided because by chasing big wins it is likely that we will only experience bigger losses, although no one knows clearly whether luck will be on our side or not but the big certainty is that the defeat will occur and make us lose more money. for gamblers who are already addicted, in my opinion the reason they are addicted is because they are chasing big wins or previously they wanted to recover the losses that occurred but what happened was the opposite of what they wanted.
In terms of taking risks, I think it depends on their respective perceptions, because there are gamblers who dare to take risks such as betting more than usual and even beyond their financial capabilities, and I myself am someone who does not dare to take risks in matters like this because there is no certainty of winning, this is what I consider.

Indeed, controlling emotions is very difficult, not easy and tends to be lost if we are not pandaai in instilling rules of limitation on ourselves.

I think limiting money is one way to control emotions, where it is a preventive measure so that our emotions are not provoked, with the existence of restrictions on money, time and so on, as an effort to avoid emotional turmoil is a way of controlling our emotions so that they are stable and safe, and our gambling remains on the path of gambling responsibly,.

A limited budget should be allocated for gambling as well as specific time that does not affect the emotions negatively for a gambler. If you win gambling, you should stop yourself at that moment even though it is not so easy to do and the expectation and greed of winning more will drive you. Gambling with limited resources can be positive for you as a way to pass the time along with your entertainment but you should be careful not to let it become an addiction. Gambling responsibly and making every effort to support your family's financial needs.

I agree with that. It's on us.
If we really want to control ourselves then we must defy our emotions and try to be disciplined with a budget in mind. That way we can prevent big losses. There will be losses, no doubt about it, but let us at least minimize those by making a good plan and sticking with it whatever happens.
The thing about chasing losses is that it's filled with revenge and expectation. We want our money back, and we think the gambling site will give it back, and those kinds of mentality will wreck us.
You lose, forget about it. Don't expect anything like it will be given back to you as long as you keep on playing.

some persons will not agree such, because I know that why whenever a gambler loses in the gambling and is having emotional challenges is because they don't make out one particular money for gambling, because if make out a specific amount for gambling I think that would have been better understanding, so in my own ways of understanding my own things I think if you don't gambling to affect you that much you have to make reservations of particular amount you will be using monthly for playing your gambling, because if you use your saves to gamble and immediately you lose you will be affected

We can only suggests them without forcing them to follow our suggestion. They will choose whatever they think that is the best for them and if they still thinking about the winning in their minds, that will be no problem for them. But they should realizes that winning in gambling is difficult and not many people can win some money so they should not trying hard to playing gambling. If they can aware that playing gambling is just for have fun and not for chasing the money, they will use their time to have fun.

We can advice on how to control emotions while we can also show how they can do that. But to do that, that will be up to them because they will have their consideration why they still do that and we can not do anything. We only hope that they will not lose too much money when playing gambling so they will not regret because of losing their money.

because actually, we can't determine whether we will win or lose in the game. we can only forget the game that we have played. As you said, if you lose then forget it. we come back tomorrow for a new bet with a new chance. not to chase our losses.

limiting funds for betting is the best way to do that, but everything must be attempted with self-control too. if we can't control ourselves, it's useless to make limits if we can't keep them. what happens is that you will continue to deposit your money when you continue to lose until your money runs out.

I'm sure gamblers understand the concept of being responsible in gambling. but we have to be honest, it's not easy to do if we are gamblers who may bet consistently.

There are so many people with such mindset, but there are still people who genuine gambling because they like to gamble, not necessary to make money.

There's no way you can forget what you did yesterday, if you eat pizza today, tomorrow you will remember you ate pizza yesterday. You can forget if you have a brain injury or a disease that make your memory loss.

Having a free mind in gambling helps lower your expectations and increase your fun when you are gambling. It also relieves you of constant mental pressure that arises from underperforming in the direction of you target winning amount.

Somehow, when your mind is more relaxed, you tend to perform better and get more wins than when you are under pressure and overcautious of losses because your exploration potential is limited to your fear of losing money and funny enough you can even end up losing more in the safe heaven bet you thought were sure for your rapid conversion to profits.

Its important you gamble with amounts you can afford to loose so you can free your mind and enjoy your moments in gambling.

That right, exactly what I said in my previous post. Winning amount from gambling is not certain because gambling is not like the real investment where when you invest $2k you can certainly expect $2.5k in your speculated period of time but in gambling it is very rare that you will speculate to win $2 and archive it in the desired time, that's why it's called gambling because you are not sure of the outcome.

Most of the time, we fail to do that because once we win, we then think about another and another until we lose them all. Most of the time, we feel regret and ask ourselves why we don't stop gambling after winning. I may say it was not addictive behavior but greed. 

Gambling without thinking about winning could help us enjoy the moment. But if we are on the chase of winning, we can never find happiness and satisfaction, it is always hunger. I hope we all have the same mindset as you do, but unfortunately, we were all born different and surely have different understandings of gambling. 

Well there's nothing wrong with being optimistic sometimes people attract the positive vibe on it so they keep looking to win a large amount but of course it depends on the person how they will handle their games at all, but not all story have the same ending so if you think that time is not for you there's nothing wrong to turn around for a while if you think you are not lucky for that day, being greedy and hopeless to win a large amount or even take back their money might reason to fail your game instead to lose more.

Of course, being optimistic is good in anything where it can improve your mood when doing anything, but of course it doesn't mean we have to lose consciousness, because being optimistic can certainly make someone fall into overconfidence, meaning that awareness of the possibility of risk must be maintained which can limit you from various decisions that you cannot be held responsible for.
However, we must understand and maintain the understanding that confidence and hope will not be able to change the results in the game to be according to what you expect.

On the other hand, as you suggest, it is very good that when we feel that we are far from luck for some reason, such as a game that is going very badly, then clearly stopping is a wise and best decision.

The only important thing on here is about self moderation and control. If you wont be having this thing then you would really be that bounding yourself into possible trouble specially
when it comes to gambling addiction. You should really be that treating gambling to be just that for fun and not for making money because on the time that you would be having that kind of
mindset on trying out to become a winner then you would really be finding yourself that desperate and this is something that you should avoiding on doing so. Its really that important to have
those realistic approach at least towards gambling that it should really be just that for fun and entertainment so that you wont really be that expecting too much about winning.
Always set yourself about those losing probabilities so that on the moment that it do happens then you wont be ending up on being impulsive.

Because in many cases they win the bet more than expected due to which they continue to bet on gambling. On the other hand there are some crazy gamblers who will rush to bet even after losing. They never want to think about winning or losing. This thing always moves me that once i start betting i don't want to stop. Finally i bet until all the money in my pocket is gone. In fact, not everyone can be successful in gambling because everyone luck is not equal so some will lose and some will win.

There nothing you can do when you already empty handed, I like that opinion as you can't control your emotion when you still see money in your wallet but once there's nothing left then the only you can do is quit out, that's the value if you know how to manage your finances if you can just put the amount that you allocate for your gambling and you limit yourself in any access to your resources, it's vey important either you win the amount that you are trying to aim or lose the money that you deposit and call for the day.

there is nothing wrong with being a little optimistic about achievements. but in my opinion if it becomes an addiction it is not recommended, at least gambling is only for entertainment and if you always win it is a plus / luck is on our side, because basically gambling is just a game and a stress reliever when we are tired, not as a money-making tool

Do not expect success in gambling is impossible - you have to think hard that gambling is more losing so make it more fun that you do on weekends and do not spend your pocket money.

There is always a consideration in gambling if not then you will feel chaotic after the money runs out in the bet, indeed from some gamblers do not manage well manage the bankroll this can make you bad financially so do not force gambling if the money is only mediocre.

Usually gamblers chase defeat from the chase that they end up bankrupt no longer have money.

Gamblers get twisted. They think its luck, but its psychology. Risk is inevitable, but how you handle it decides your fate. Gambling should be entertaining, not a way to get money or stay out of debt.

True strength in gambling (and life) is self-control. Its about restraint and having realistic expectations. Consistent wins are a myth. Its important to accept defeats and view successes as icing on the cake.

It takes a mindset adjustment. Gambling should represent our mindset, not just a game. Our desires, vulnerabilities, and tendency to indulge them are revealed. Self-awareness helps us protect our wallets and understand our strengths and weaknesses when we gamble or engage in other high-stakes activities.

true what you said, gambling is not only about winning and losing but psychology in this case is also involved. when they can not accept disappointing results it is likely to affect their psychology and in my opinion gamblers who experience stress or depression have also had cases that have occurred. considering the risk in gambling cannot be avoided, therefore most of those who experience bad events cannot realize that the risk in this case will definitely happen because they only want to win by any means sometimes they do not care about the money that has been lost quite a large amount. considering gambling is a game that only provides a small chance of winning, indeed consistent victory is just a myth, for some people who are confident in being able to produce consistent wins I think they will not be far from losses or losing money only, that's why we must be able to gamble reasonably to avoid big losses, so restrictions must be applied, of course these restrictions will exist if we have good self-control.

I totally agree with you. Gambling is a stress reliever when we are returning from a busy day or at leisure. You need to have enough money for gambling and you have to manage it yourself as well as the daily needs of the family. You must be responsible family and socially and limit your allotted amount. Whenever you choose gambling as a compulsive means of making money, you are more likely to become addicted and lose more. You should prioritize your luck every time you gamble.

Gamblers who are waiting for a specific amount of money from the gambling industry in their pockets, on the contrary, are not serious about gambling. If we are talking about classic casino games, it makes no sense at all. In the case of bookmakers still have nuances, but they are usually associated with the use of insider information or some flaws in the bookmaker's system. In fact, in the vast majority of cases at a distance you can win only by breaking some rules, and this threatens to ban the account and non-payment of the won funds.

There are some gamblers who always save money for gambling. They think that after winning big money from gambling they will quit gambling but those who start gambling with this thought never do well. I know several people around me.  I have seen people who have lost all their money in gambling now realize how serious gambling can lead a person to. We should always try to keep ourselves away from gambling as much as possible or we will face huge losses.

I see similar gamblers in my environment, but they always have a way out. Friends and family come to their rescue. After profusely cautioning them, some will learn from their mistake and move forward to learn a new trade. Compulsive gamblers deserve not to stay alone in a house. I like to see such players getting engaged in a trade.

Their thoughts and emotions begin to change as they go to work. But the gambling urge won't stop instantly. I still see a few of them go to the game house after working hours. However, the time they spend on gambling reduces drastically.

Well, I invented a plan for this very thing a long time ago, and it is to play with little money, at least 5 usd and if of those 5 usd I manage to make 1 dollar, with that I stay still per day, or let's not say per day, per game session that can be at any other time, the important thing is to have that expectation, I talk about those points because that's how my strategy was born, and of course it's not a strategy that will make you a millionaire, but if of those 5 usd I win 3 and lose 4, I still have 4 usd to continue applying it, the idea is to play with the capital, but if you risk profit without touching the capital it's the best, that's the idea.

The gambler who bet after the loss in the row will do the same mistake again and again.So they loss the money in the gambling site in the huge number,the gambler who loss the funds in the gambling will do the play again and again.Because most of the gamblers will do the gambling with the addiction to recover the loss in the past.The loss of money will hurt the gambler mentally and physically.This was the reason for the gambler to get addicted to gambling addiction because of the continuous loss in gambling site.

It is a case where they do not have good control to be able to stop gambling when they win and also when they lose, because in gambling it is not only about stopping when they lose, but gamblers must also be aware that they must also stop when they win. Therefore, setting a maximum win limit I think is also a good way for us not to get into greed. Because if gamblers have entered the hole of greed, then ofcourse you will continue betting when you win until you will eventually get a loss. But besides that, I think there will be a day when gamblers get a very good moment and if gamblers realize it, then it can be a very good moment to aim for a little more profit from the limits that were previously made.

Control means until you can control your greed and use your emotions properly, you will not be successful. A common problem we have is matching amounts like $20-25-30-40 etc.  It also happened to me that I went from $20 to $49 but my plan was to match $50. And thus I lost my entire amount for just $1. These activities behave very scary for us at times. So if you want to withdraw from gambling with profit then you have to be satisfied with less profit. And always keep your cool

That's how important control in terms of both time and finances,  same with what you said addiction start when lust and desire over exceeded from the amount that you are capable to let go, when your adrenaline keeps rushing you to keep on playing,  it's best to stay calm and keep in track with your activities so if ever that luck permits you you'll be able to quit and not to fall with greed and keep pushing for more, it's about setting up your targets and limitations that you can execute and follow.

it’s all about discipline and experience. All players go through greed and thirst for the game, also because the process itself is addictive. If you have a pre-planned budget for the game and strategy, then greed will not prevail over the player, and the important point is that only as a pleasant pastime and not a super way to quickly earn money, and as soon as the player realizes this, he will stop making mistakes.

That is the fact, as long as the gambler does not gamble to make a fortune to change his life he will understand how to control his losses by gambling responsible and will quit at the right time. The problem some gamblers are having that they cannot let go of their losses which should not be so because the moment you feel that you want to win back your losses, you will empty your bankroll because it would be the opposite.

This is why one should be satisfied with whatever amount that he wins and should not think he will continue winning due to greed.

If you managed to stablished and practice that plan yup there's no room for greed though there's chances that you might over exceed but you'll simply going back and will let yourself be composed if your practice already inside you. The safest way to gamble is to know what you'll willing to risk and understand the timing on when you need to stop and quit.

That kind of understanding will lead you to manage your opportunities, gambling should always be back up by responsibilities, self-will to avoid exceeding and just to keep that limitation that you already setup.

I consider that when a person restricts himself with his money to play, he is not only protecting himself from his own emotions and impulses, he is also Becoming a person with full responsibility, he shows to be a confident person, for me it is the best strategy so far, the good thing is that not only in the game but in trading, then the benefit is double, but as long as it is respected that each game session must be done per day, or one or two days a week, but not in the same day do several game sessions, because it would become something that would not work.

To be greedy may mean a lot of different things to different people but I think it's simply loving yourself too much not to mind what's going to happen to the next person or in another context, it means taking everything to yourself with out allowing another person have it. The truth of it is, if you want to own everything in gambling, in my opinion it is good but it is also most likely to consume you if you don't apply wisdom to it. This is why when I gamble, I have myself in mind but I guard my interest not be so greedy to consume myself.

When people play for the sake of playing without allocating money to do so, it is difficult to have control, I am one of those who likes to have control, I do not like to leave things to chance, experience has shown me that as long as I have control of things it is much better, if I see that I cannot have control of an activity I do not do it until I can achieve control, I think that is the most responsible thing to do, it does not matter the strategy to use, you just have to have control and more when it comes to money , that is my way of thinking.

Of course the session rate also needs to be regulated, it can't be on the same day, that would just be silly, setting an action like this needs to be coupled with other actions that can effectively give us an action that is correct and fit for purpose within certain limits, I agree with you that 1 session per day or 3 days a week to do gambling, it is a very good form of decision and I think it will be very effective, and it will make us much more responsible in doing gambling, someone who does this strategy will be very able to control himself and away from bad addiction.

On the moment that you are really that indeed playing gambling then it would really be that understandable or your part of your mind saying that you should be playing up even more just for you to be able win up big,
but this kind of mindset or principle here on crypto space isnt something that you would really be able to tell that its a good one. On the time or moment that you do find yourself trying out to point things on which
you do have your own job and this is something that should really be that in default. Gambling games is really just that for past time and not something that you would be thinking that it is really that easy to make
money out of it. Dont make yourself trying out to project those things ahead that this is something not a bad thing. Play according into your leisure needs.

It would really be that best that you should really be playing gambling for the sake of fun and not because you are already addicted into it. This is why it would really be that recommended
that you should be having that self control and moderation on which we know that this is something that would be relevant when trying out to control the situation at least.
Dont make yourself trying to imagine that you do able to make those huge wins because it couldnt really be just that possible in the current trend that we are seeing.

It is a fact, things do not work that way when we allocate a balance willing to lose, and everything flows in the best way when the money willing to lose is taken as the main thing to respect , we are people who will always Advocate to do things right, if we Follow our own rules we will never have problems of addiction or of what they say: "I got carried away by emotions" and in each game session we will have the advantage for everything and without losing our capital.

I understand the problem as it often happens to many gamblers, where they do have greed and think about getting a big win from the amount of the bet, even increasing the bet to get a bigger win after getting the win, and that's what makes him lose and lose everything, they think that he will get the win again and again, when it's just a trick of his own greedy mind.

That illusion is often in the gambler's mind and day after getting a win, so time restrictions are also needed and other restrictions after getting a win must make a withdrawal so as not to try to continue gambling and looking for another win which ultimately makes them lose.

The amount of money or wealth that a gambler has is also one of the reasons whether they can become a serious gambler or not, because wealth will be a supporting factor for him to continue playing because a lot of money will allow him to play for the long term and also the target of winning becomes big, in contrast to gamblers who have limited money, maybe he thinks seriously about being able to win a lot of money but once he runs out of money then it will be a barrier for him to continue playing unless he is brave enough to go into debt, so it is not only the mindset that can determine whether to become a serious gambler or not but the wealth or money owned is also a supporting factor because gambling requires money.

And that's what it's all about, seeing that things can happen that way to avoid addiction above all, I know that many do not pay attention to this advice, they only give it importance when they lose a lot and their morale is on the floor, but many newbies should see this type of threads so they realize all the good advice that is here to avoid losing their money, or at least not lose so much money, it is essential to always share this type of experiences, things, so that they can be recognized as the best so that the mistakes are not made again.

Money only allows you lose more, longer; it does not make you a better gambler. Large egos and irresponsible bets are bred in giant banksrolls. The wealthy gambler believes he can purchase his way to win. But the smart gambler? They not play the bank account; they play the game. It's about outsmarting your opponent, not about overspending yours. Calculate the chances, examine the trends, make the wise decision - rather than the showy one. This is about strategy not about chance. It's about leveraging your brain rather than your pocketbook

Though everyone may toss money at a game, turning a small stack into a large one requires actual ability. It's about self-control, tolerance, and the capacity to turn away from the odds not in your advantage. Rich or poor, those are the qualities that define the winners from the losers. So ignore the scale of your money. Give your brain's size top attention. In this game, that is the actual currency. Furthermore keep in mind that the house always has an edge. Playing smarter rather than harder is the only way to surpass them

Discipline is a key factor no doubts but you cannot say its totally all about discipline in situations as this because somehow i believe even disciplined people do fall victims of situations where they loose it and end up loosing all of their funds before they know it, sometimes it could be about the availability of funds that may get the certain people respond the way they do to certain situations at some point in time. when you have a budget and a plan, it helps a long way to regulate how much you gamble with and also helps you maintain you r discipline for those who are considered disciplined people.

That's the truth.
I have been doing this for like a year or more now and I stick with my planned budget. The problem comes when we go beyond that and regrets will be felt afterwards, not during the games. When we lose everything including the money that is not supposed to be spent, that's when we get stressed and frustrated leading to maybe a bad thought of doing something that we will regret more in the future.
We must have this budget for gambling and be disciplined to follow it, the same goes if we have a winning amount planned or just the minimum withdrawal. Take it and rest.

The issue is not about having target, is keeping to that target. Most people before going into gambling in their gamble section they usually have this fixed amount they can win and amount they would love to win in that section. But most when they are lucky and they endup winning greed always comes in , and they will endup losing more than that target or they may lose that they have won during that section, all because of greed that's why self-control is one of the vital attribute one need have when it comes to gambling.

Exactly, having a target is the start and keeping to the target is the main purpose, in other words we need to have discipline.
That's the hardest thing to do when we are lucky, because the greed is usually stronger than our own plan and discipline but at least we should try the best.
This is why it is important to withdraw when we achieve our target, at least withdraw the amount as we set for the target and we can continue with the rest if we want but it is always better to withdraw all and take a rest for a while.

Well personally I think it is very difficult to give advice when emotions are running high in a casino, not much can be done, I could tell them to calm down, to think about something else, but it is very easy to say it here or give it as advice when you are not playing at the moment, you have to be there playing, controlling the adrenaline ,controlling what to do or what not to do, what I can say is that the most important thing for us in a casino is to take care of our money, because everything that involves chance and games is very likely to be lost quickly, for me emotions sometimes make us win or lose, the bad thing is that they make us lose, it is not a guarantee, so somehow it must be controlled, well I got that way of controlling it, so far I have not seen another strategy that surpasses mine.

Gambling with such a massive expected return amount to taking a very high risk which the end result would definitely not end well, staking $100 to win $100,000 would involve taking a very high risk, personally I place bet on soccer matches with an expected odd of 2.00 thus betting with $100 would return $200 or a bit more, consistent winning definitely pay some bills of course I don't have any mindset of accumulating odds up to 100.0 in a bid to earn and win massive reward definitely the chances of winning that bet is very slim thus losing that $100 which could have gave me $200 with lesser risk.

And that should always be the case, greed is one of the triggers for making and taking bad decisions , those are the things we should get out of our minds in order to act in the best way, I have always said something, I think that we as players should set limits to win, because when we see large amounts we want more and more and that can sometimes be a mistake, because by looking for more greatness we can lose it all, so what you say is very true, one should always have one's feet firmly planted on the ground, know when to withdraw to come out with Profits , it doesn't matter how small they are, but the idea is to have profits.

That's right, greed is indeed the initial trigger that makes gamblers often lose control because there will be actions taken without thinking about the risks or not considering them first until the decisions taken tend to be bad decisions with great risks but because of the greed that arises so gamblers ignore the risks. And indeed thoughts like this must be put aside including greed, but as we know to be able to minimize or withstand things like this tends to be difficult or even easy to say because when we say and face it directly when playing it is different then our mentality can indeed be affected, maybe only people who are very wise and adhere to their good mindset can do something like this. The risk in gambling is a definite thing even though we do it well, the feeling of greed that arises can make us lose everything we have instead of wanting to get something bigger but instead making us lose a larger amount. what you said is right, gamblers must be able to back down when it is time to avoid unwanted things.

Well, I want to emphasize the issue of greed. It is one of the reasons for losing in gambling. Even a person who is profitable can lose everything in a moment. A person is never safe until he can control his greed. Usually when a new gambler starts gambling he is not aware of his greed level but when he loses that sense comes back. When a gambler sets limits on his gambling, he is able to keep his money safe at the same time he is able to control his greed. There are some gamblers who are not willing to enjoy their winnings, they are more interested in increasing their bankroll and at some point lose that money. Winnings in gambling need to be enjoyed otherwise greed will increase which can hinder for responsible gambling.

There are ways to do things right to avoid later issues, fixing our minds on the goal or dream may not change anything but our actions to realise the dreams/goals through the right expertise, management and plan. Gambling on its own is not going to take it easy on anyone, that is why we should not even dare put our minds on the money but always find the means to outsmart the activity so that it can eventually yield for us.

This should start with what we want to achieve and how we want it done must be the next step, and all these must entail a balanced psychology, a viable budget on the actual amount to gamble throughout a session and the ones to gamble per session among much other consideration for responsible gambling.

However, if it is not forthcoming as planned, it's better we take a break, after all, there is next time, and in worst cases, if there will never be a next positive time, we will not lose senselessly and this will not affect our sanity as a person.

They will not accept our advice when they are emotion. They will still chasing the win without thinks that what they do is wrong. They will not thinks that they can lose more and more money because their minds is close with the winning amount that they want to achieve. But we can still reminds them to calm down themselves especially if they already lose their money so they can think clear what next thing that they need to do. Following their emotions is only makes them forget to limits themselves in gambling but if they can not still hold themselves, we can not do anything except watch what they will get from gambling. Emotion will make us forget to take care of ourselves and that means we can lose much money without we realizes. So that is why we must try to calm down ourselves and control to avoids the lose becomes big.

That may be the difference between professional gamblers and amateur gamblers. Amateur gamblers are very aggressive and greedy towards gambling. Basically, they don't have the knowledge that by falling into temptation, they are gambling regularly, increasing their risk of losing money. As a result, many gamblers who want to gamble or are new to gambling have a high level of greed. On the other hand Professional gamblers,  are very careful about their gambling even gamble responsibly and with a plan.  

Moreover, many new gamblers are forced to lose more than what they win due to excessive greed. After they win once in gambling, their tendency to greed increases so much that they lose their conscience and gamble again and again. Since then they continue to gamble continuously hoping to win and earn extra money.

A win might make us feel invincible. We start making bigger wagers and taking bigger chances, and we end up in a hole we cant escape. Discipline is essential. Even on a hot streak, you must know when to leave. The biggest win is leaving with your shirt on.
 
Not simply setting limits, but understanding your thinking. Greed is dangerous and can lead to madness. Smart bettors know this. They play themselves, not just the game. This is the final test

If you're gambling, gamble well. Do not chase losses or let your ego take over. People, think long-term. Enjoy the pleasure without burning. Remember that the house always wins. You can compete with them with discipline and self-awareness.

Why this happens is because most gamblers have an amount that they have already in their mind that they want to win before they can stop gambling for the time being hence they continue to gamble looking for that amount but it because complicated for them to get as the keep losing. We don't have to keep an amount in our mind because it makes us to become difficult to reach that amount. Just gambling with a hope of winning is enough as you keep winning, you can reserve some profits that you have earned in the next time that you are going to gamble. The tendency to want to earn more will make us to continue gambling but we can reduce that by stopping before it gets too late. Not over gambling is possible but we should be in control so we don't go against what's right and it becomes a problem for us gamblers. Don't over expect things to go in our favour when gambling as well.

Amateur gamblers get high on the win, and then greed takes over. Though it's not, many believe it is about luck. It's about planning, knowing the chances, and weighing measured risks. They screw up there when they pursue the next surge

Pros? They're different. They consider, they evaluate, they have a strategy. They understand that avarice will ruin you. They are aiming to master themselves rather than to surpass the game. That is the actual win. This is not only about gaming. It speaks to life. Whether it's money, prospects, or relationships, greed tuckers your brain. You really ought to know about it. You have to be wise, not only lucky. Cut the greed, increase the awareness

On the time or moment that you would be having that kind of mindset on the moment that you would really be doing gambling then it would really be just that basically making yourself that being desperate
and this is something which is really that not recommended because on the time that you do have that kind of thinking then it would be pushing you out further into your limits and this would be causing
up that financial problems. We do know that sky is the limit when it comes to potential loses on which it could really that make your all finances will be spend up and if  you dont have such control and moderation then you are just basically making yourself be having that future problems when it comes to financial and this is something not that we want. Gambling is really just that for the sake of fun and never ever
trying out to make it as your main source of income or being that too optimistic that you could be able to win up something big, because this would be pushing you to play even more despite of
tons of loses.

Yeah right, if that just easy to execute then it's true we might avoid getting addicted and lose a lot, but things is different when you are inside and you are already playing, just like what usually been used that term " got carried away," "I should left when I'm still in green" something that will keeps on reminding us with such regrets after losing our money.

It's your decision making and how you control your emotion when you are still in session, that helps to avoid regretting the outcome.

It is natural that a gambler knows the amount of winnings when he gambles. Like I bet 100 dollars for a team if I win the bet then I will be paid 70 dollars along with 100 dollars that means my profit is 70 dollars but if I lose that match then my capital will lose 100 dollars. It is gambling knowing the amount of our profit and accepting the amount of loss. Things work the same way in casinos. It is true that gambling can lead to profit but gambling will result in loss of money it is an eternal truth so accepting all these then a gambler should decide to gamble. In the first case, the amount of money that a gambler gambles with must be deducted from his total money because that amount can be returned and lost.

Not at all, because in a casino everything works differently. What you described applies to bets, for example, in bookmakers.

In slots, it is impossible to predict the winning amount (this can be done, but you are unlikely to count the number of matching lines, images and multiplying coefficients, as well as taking into account the bet amount). In card games and roulette, in principle, you can calculate the final bet amount taking into account the multipliers, but the dealers will probably do it faster than you (but the winning amount becomes known if the bet wins).

Simply put, a gambler needs to allocate a portion of his budget as risky "investments" (an attempt to increase his deposit). This has already been said many times.

In essence, betting all in would not be appropriate because after all, a bettor must also consider the worst risk and therefore, determining the maximum money bet can be good for you to continue betting longer. At the very least, it would be interesting and fun to bet for a bit longer because it would also allow the bettor to have some experience to gain during gambling. So for me, knowing the amount of profit before betting or after determining the bet, for me is not too important because the most important thing is for us to have a calculation of how much money we should bet.

In some point that's true, though the post above you is another consideration as it's logically right, after placing your bets you have that idea how much you'll going to win, if that's already your set goals then you can stop and enjoy your profits,  but on the other side your statement also have weight in  terms  of playing,  most of the time gamblers have certain amount of budget that they use for gambling,  most use small amount to extend their time only few gamblers will take it all in and risk it all win or go home type of attitude.

Totally depends on what kind of gambler you are because there are indeed who could really be able to stop midway and there are ones who could stop completely on the moment that they have lost all of their bankroll on which this is something which is really that recommended when it comes to this aspect. We do know that when it comes to gambling then it cant really be avoided that you would really be mainly thinking on how you would really be able to make out some profits and there would really be those individuals who would really be that thinking mostly on to gt rich with gambling on which this is something which is really that a very wrong approach to have because on the time that you would be having this kind of intent into your mind then it will really be causing up that kind of desperation on which this is something that will really be keeping you to play even more and on the time that you will be able to experience unfortunate conditions then it will really be that resulting into such frustration on which this would really be causing up that kind of reaction where
it will really be that adding up into that particular emotion which will really be putting up into your mind that you should deposit further to chase up those loses. The moment you do gamble then everything will
really that matter on how well you do make yourself that doing such thing or simply with entertainment and never ever that make yourself thinking about on how to make money.

On the moment that you do gamble then always expect that chances of winning is really that less and it would be having that more when it comes to loses so that on the moment that it would happen then you wont be making yourself that getting pissed or disappointed that much .We do know that gambling should really be just that for fun and entertainment but due to the fact that losing money is never been that entertaining or does give out that good feeling then you do really be able to expect that reactions will really be that different into each person. This is why there would really be those individuals who do really ends up on being impulsive and ending up on betting more despite of the loses or simply they do make themselves getting addicted. This is why on the moment or time that you do find yourself having issues about your gambling activity then its better to stop
while its not too late.

Gamble for fun and dont tend to make yourself that a winner because if you do chase up whether profits or trying out to break even then this will really be resulting into such disaster and this is why
you should really be careful on this aspect. Gamblers do usually fall into the pit of addiction on the time or moment that they've seen themselves into such condition on which we know that its not really that
recommended on having that kind of treatment because it would case up even more problems in the future.
