Title: Consequences of greed Post by: rachael9385 on August 10, 2024, 03:18:16 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.
Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Aside from greed, I think his over confidence makes his bet lose since a greedy person alone will not share his bet but rather just bet it for himself. He shares it because he is confident on his pick while he add a few games more due to greediness and confidence that he will still win despite the added match games on his slip. This happened a lot not only on gambling but also in trading which the signal provider usually overextending calls the result to lose. The guy who won the bet by copying the pick of his friend is surely has a lot of trust on the friend for just copying the bets completely doing any changes based on his own analysis. I think a couple of beer treat will help to ease the pain for the loser friend. ;) Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Oshosondy on August 10, 2024, 03:28:21 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: yahoo62278 on August 10, 2024, 03:34:36 PM You know or should know the risks involved when you are placing a parlay on sports. Every bet you add to a ticket of course increases the potential win, but you also decrease your potential chances of winning. Bookies love to see someone come in with a huge parlay as they know there is a small chance that it hits. It's almost like free money for them.
Is it greed? No, you just think you know something that everyone else doesn't or you hope you are right and make a load from it. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Hispo on August 10, 2024, 03:39:43 PM Actually there is nothing to be surprised about in this situation. In my opinion, gambling and betting are supposed to be unpredictable and unexpected, quite the opposite could have happened in this story you bring to us, and what would be the lesson to learn from it ? Not being greedy enough can lead to losses?
There is actually not much to learn from this story, the only we can get from it is we sre supposed to be careful while betting and not to rely our money on the predictions of others. This could have ended up being a story of someone losing money because they chose to seek advice of their friends, and asking advice from friends on things which have to do with finances and gambling may be one of the fastest ways to throw a friendship down the drain, in my opinion. It is simply don't worth it. Hopefully that dude dedices to enjoy the money and do not spend it again in gambling, otherwise this won't be a happy ending to him: easy comes, easy goes... Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: cabron on August 10, 2024, 03:44:13 PM It would surprise me more if he asked for a cut from that friend because the code comes from him.
It's his fault that he lost though. He added more in his parlay and the other guy didn't. Nothing seems unusual about this, but he got greedy thinking he could win more for being too confident. Can't blame them for aiming more, if he won then he would have gotten more than 15M. He took the risk. But it's not the end of the world after losing money, there are ways to earn them back and life goes on.

Sometimes some predictions are wrong and if that wrong prediction is over confidence then the bet is bound to be a big loss which happened to this person at the moment. That is not greed. Think about it very well. You can add to your bet and lose. Like I have explained on my post before, that is not greed. Only what is linked to greed is when maybe you have won enough money but continue to bet and later lose. This person's case is different and not greed at all.It would surprise me more if he asked for a cut from that friend because the code comes from him. He supposed not to ask his friend before his friend suppose to give him like maybe 10% of the money won.It's his fault that he lost though. He added more in his parlay and the other guy didn't. Nothing seems unusual about this, but he got greedy thinking he could win more for being too confident. Can't blame them for aiming more, if he won then he would have gotten more than 15M.

He did nothing wrong.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Beparanf on August 10, 2024, 03:59:10 PM I can’t imagine the pain of the guy who share his bet but didn’t manage to win due to a minor alteration on the bets. I’m always a victim of this kind of epic fail since I frequently post a prediction here of my potential picks if ever I will bet but I do change some of my bets in actual that result to lose.
Even though I’m not actually sharing my bets to specific person but reading back my shared prediction here in gambling discussion and compared it to my actual bet makes me regret hard especially on my cash out that resulted to huge win If I just continue the bet. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: salad daging on August 10, 2024, 04:04:16 PM Never do that, someone or I don't give betting slips to anyone because this is doing it myself.
So your friend who gave the betting code to someone else managed to get 15M naira while he himself lost due to the addition of the game, then this is clearly greedy maybe he wants to have a different result. Parlay betting is easier to increase the odds but rest assured the potential winnings will be smaller if there are more tickets, so don't do greed even if he himself is ready to lose his money. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: topbitcoin on August 10, 2024, 04:08:02 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet.

He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. No sir, basically even if we are ready to lose the money that is at the bet and then get a victory and he wants to win more than what has been obtained is greedy, he added the game several times so that he lost.For example, you are ready to lose the $ 100 money that is at betting then you get a victory to $ 200, but you want to win more with a few more games, it is a greedy behavior. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: khiholangkang on August 10, 2024, 04:16:25 PM Never do that, someone or I don't give betting slips to anyone because this is doing it myself. That's true, but in my neighborhood sharing betting slip info to motivate each in betting so that it can be much more fun and it becomes a habit, greed is the responsibility of each. So your friend who gave the betting code to someone else managed to get 15M naira while he himself lost due to the addition of the game, then this is clearly greedy maybe he wants to have a different result. Parlay betting is easier to increase the odds but rest assured the potential winnings will be smaller if there are more tickets, so don't do greed even if he himself is ready to lose his money. Parlay betting is very attractive because the promised winnings can be many times greater than single bets, some people may really want more than what he can get, unfortunately too careless in making choices to be all messy, even though it really comes from luck, and maybe he wants to look more crazy when adding several games and can be arrogant to his friends.

This can happen to anyone, we cannot accurately predict the outcome of gambling all the time. This is why i do not believe anyone or site can actually give predictions from their finger tips, its all luck and anyone who is lucky goes home with the money. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? I do not think greed led to his loss, it's either he lost confidence in the code he gave out or became too confident in his ability to predict the right scores. Little distractions like this can cause one great regrets, but this is how gambling is and no one should take the outcomes of whatever games they play to heart. There will always be another day to try again to expect positive outcomes. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Pandorak on August 10, 2024, 04:23:45 PM [...] So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? I know how the man feels, seeing his betting slip fail while the person he gave the betting slip to wins. Because i have also felt it, even though the money wasn't as much as you mentioned, but it really ruined my week, always reminded of that incident & since then I never shared my betting slip again with my friends, i put more effort & analysis for all that, but the one who does not give effort wins. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: AB de Royse777 on August 10, 2024, 04:25:06 PM Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. If I am not wrong then it around $10k which is a good money to be honest, not sure if this is something life changing for the economy you and your friend lives. The problem with gambling money is that when you win something easily, you don't care about it at all. It's the same for winning a lottery. I hope you will guide your friend to use the money wisely.but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). I don't think there are any greed. I am assuming it's a multibet. Not sure how many people expect to win from a multibet when it's long. When I plan for a multibet, I plan to make it as high odd as I could. Maybe he was doing the same LOLTitle: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Docnaster on August 10, 2024, 04:27:29 PM For a gambler to be successful in his gambles, it's important that he doesn't stick to one betting pattern which is why you see some gamblers make surprising decisions in their gamble including being greedy in their gambling strategies sometimes. I think what happened to the person that lost his own bet as a result of the other games he added was completely avoidable but in his own wisdom, he deemed it necessary to add more games to increase the potential winning amount.
For him to take such bold step, he surely was mentally ready for the outcome and now that he lost, he should know how to handle the situation because it could've also gone to his favour. Gambling is called gambling because you can't just predict the outcome and I hope he'll learn from this particular incident. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Frankolala on August 10, 2024, 04:30:26 PM Overconfidence and thinking that he is too smart was what caused his lost, if not he was suppose to place the bet just the way his friend did, but he wanted to feel he knows it all. I must say that he has made his friend win huge from gambling and that funds might change his friends life if he uses it wisely. No gambler knows the right prediction if not he wouldn't have changed or add anything in his own bet.
Back to you OP, was this gambler friend happy that he won the bet to the extent that he decided to give his friend little from his win, because he was the one that helped him win or shared his luck with him. I have not experienced such in my gambling life. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Ojima-ojo on August 10, 2024, 04:31:01 PM Don't think it personal, is a normal experience in gambling and because his risk failed this time doesn't mean there won't be a time that he will win extra huge amount, that they be thankful for taking that risk at that time, so let not be overly concerned with his loses this time and to declare him a greedy gamblers.
Let me tel you, what differentiates the both gambler's is just luck, because that is what make the difference in all of this if not nothing more, because both of them took the risk that none know the potential outcome.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Well,shit things do happen and it would really be giving out that kind of regret on the moment that you would really be able to see your friend winning up something big and you are on the other side has lost the bet just because of some add up then there's no one that you could blame but only yourself but since we are dealing up with gambling then instances or situations like this then results cant really be known. So it wouldnt really be that so hard that you would really be able to make yourself that easily be making up those kind of moving on on which you had already accepted out your fate not unless if the amount will really be that a life changing then it would really be bringing out that huge regret on which you cant really be able to forget forever. This is why it would really be that recommended that you should really know on what you are really that dealing with. This isnt something that pertains about being greedy on which as we do make out some bets then it normal that we would really be wanting on making up some additional bets and making out some recommendation into your friends about betting this or those selections then you have decided on adding up into it then it would be on someones personal choice. Results would really be that totally random and what if those results would really be that a win of yours because of the add up that you had put out? For sure you would really be having that other way around of the common that you are really that making. So it would really be that situational and a matter of acceptance on this aspect. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Nrcewker on August 10, 2024, 05:01:57 PM This never happened with me. I never advise others to bet on any event. I think everyone should follow this. The reason for which I am so serious about this is that it’s their money, so they will be the ones who should make the call about where to bet and where not to. When the bet is winning, they will praise you, but by chance, if the bet goes into loss, for the rest of your life, they will blame you for the loss. Hence, never ever advise or instruct someone to bet on any events or games.
Regarding the topic about greed, then yes, it’s not always good. With greed come huge risks. Hence, if you have the capability of taking huge risks, then only you are allowed to greed. After all, it’s a game about luck only.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Op, greed can cause this, the amount that the predictor wanted to use in betting the game might have been small then he decided to add more selections to boost the odd so that the amount he or she is using for the bet will match his expected potential winning but unknowing to him or her that it is a wrong step that he has chosen, although we can't dispute the fact that he may not be lucky to have won that bet because it might not be time for him or her to win, luck plays a major role in winning bet, no doubt prediction is also very important in making the right informed decisions in bet but a bettor may likely lose when he or she start considering adding more games to his existing bet slip. There are principles behind all this things thats why once a bettor is about to bet his already booked games, it is advisable for him or her not to add any more games because you never can tell if the game or games you are adding will be the ones that will lead you to loss,. Although we cant say exactly but I believe that greed and over confidence can cause this misfortune to the predictor, it is too bad that such happened to the predictor and this kind of opportunity doesn't come all the time, this might also be as a result of luck not eing on the side of the predictor as i said earlier. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: CryptoHeadlineNews on August 10, 2024, 05:28:45 PM So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? It's so sad to hear that the original predictor of the game lost, while the friend who he gave the betting code won, as what I feel might have caused this is not just only greed, but Over-confidence, as it's likely that he could have been Over-confidence that the other games he was adding will also play as predicted, not knowing those wee the games to prevent him from winning. I have been in this shoe several times, and I know how it feels to lose while the person you gave a betting code to win, and on that note, I would have love to know what happened next. So I will love to ask, was the original predictor who lost his bet given anything by his friend who owns #15million Naira? Or his friend who won the #15million just went away without giving him a penny, because if I was to be the guy who won the #15million, I would have appreciated his efforts with the least #3million Naira as my way of saying thank you.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Huppercase on August 10, 2024, 05:41:52 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.

I don't see that as a greed though, he was only trying to accumulate more odds to increase his potential your which is normal thing you see most sport gamblers do. I just think the guy who was given the code and won was fortunate and lucky as we do say it and the main guy that share the code wasn't fortunate to win but if he can give a game to someone and was able to win ₦15M, there is possibility of him recreating such games again with time. The source of that bet could have played his own in differeny part to avoid this type of mistakes, he would have won something from there and get some money even if it's not ₦15M pay, he would have won something playing the game in parts and perhaps he would have even won it if he had played it with reasonable amount of money he can afford t lose.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? What the guy did was not something of greed in my own point of view. The guy who predicted the game just did what he did for the other games that the other guy played; he did the same prediction and added more games based on how he felt like they were going to play, but it was quite unfortunate that the game did not play as he predicted and the other guy was lucky enough to just play the first lucky predicted games. I don't consider that greed but just luck.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: rachael9385 on August 10, 2024, 06:15:33 PM Reason why I called this act of greed is because the friend of the guy that won the bet (the predictor of the game), he wasn't comfortable with the potential amount he saw on the ticket (15 M), that was why he added other games to increase the potential winning amount. If wasn't for greed he would have staked the bet the exact way he gave his friend. Parallel bets are the most risky type of bets on sport betting because the more the predictor is adding games also the more risky the games become.
Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: GeorgeJohn on August 10, 2024, 06:29:31 PM We all know that, gambling is a game of luck and no one is certain of thr outcome of a game until after the game and adding more games isn't a bad option and if the game won, it wouldn't have been a same situation talk now but nevertheless, we still have to blame the predictor of the game and I hope this serves as a lesson to every other person so as not to be greedy while picking games.
When reading the post, I thought maybe the predictor of the game wanted the winner share the winnings with him.litdide his will but sine the reverse is the case, I thi k the right thing to do is fir the winner to show some appreciation to the predictor si ce he lost Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Cantsay on August 10, 2024, 06:42:46 PM What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Not just greed, he probably had high hopes on those new games more than the previous ones he selected and that might have been the reason why he went back to add them. I don’t think I’ve don’t something like this - there are times when after selecting some games I look around and still see some games that I feel are good but still I don’t add them not because I’m scared of losing everything but because I don’t have the time to watch for more games to be played before I’ll see the result of my bet - that’s why I don’t add them. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: HelliumZ on August 10, 2024, 06:49:24 PM The result of greed is never good but the result of greed ends in a terrible bad situation. Today you are only talking about the evolution of greed in gambling but in every aspect of life greed will take you through hard times. One should never be greedy when it comes to gambling which is mentioned in this topic because of excessive greed he is about to lose a large amount of money. Had he not been greedy and followed his friend's path, he would have got 15 million Nigerian dollars, but his over greed and over confidence in what he understood cost him big losses today.

Without greed, many major problems faced by gamblers will be solved. I think greed should be the first thing a gambler ought to tackle if he wants to enjoy gambling. This case is a good example of what greed can do to a person. Imagine the amount involved, yet he was not satisfied probably because he set a target that is not realistic. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? This is also what luck can do in gambling because it is luck that made the friend to play the game just the way their were predicted by the person and he won whereas the person that predicted the game made adjustments and lost. I thing it is now obvious that luck is important for a gambler even though skill and knowledge is a great asset. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Stalker22 on August 10, 2024, 07:17:16 PM Gambling is gambling. People get lucky, people lose. Blaming greed for someone's decision to add more games to a bet is a bit dramatic. If they wanted to share the winnings, they would have. Its their money, their risk. Everyone wants to win big, but the reality is, most people dont. This isnt some moral dilemma, its just how betting works.
Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Wiwo on August 10, 2024, 08:50:04 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. Not greed at all, I think the friend will be use to that already if he is a regular gambler because, for him to have made such a right games selections that give such a winning he should be somewhat used to gambling, and also excited to see that he predict the game that change his friends life at the same time.Also I am sure that, the winner is going to share the joy in winning the bounty with him a y ways because he is the genesis of the whole winning. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Saint-loup on August 10, 2024, 08:57:55 PM I don't understand what you mean exactly. It was a bonus code or the match was fixed? Because he couldn't know and nobody could know if the outcome will win or not otherwise. So it wasn't greed, I would say, he just wanted to add a bit risk in order to try to get higher winnings, it's just some bank roll managing personal strategies I would say.

I definitely have never given any one any sports game code to play, let alone losing while the person I shared the game code with wins, but I sure have been somewhere where I witnessed this same scenario happen before my very eyes, and if I still remember well, I've shared the story a couple of times on this forum.Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? The only difference with this from mine is that, this one deals with sports betting, while that which I've seen happen was based on lotto, often called "baba ijebu" here in Nigeria, a forecaster gave his friend some set of numbers to play, while the forcaster himself played an entirely different set of numbers himself. At the end of the day, out of the five set of numbers the forcaster gave his friend, 3 numbers came out(played), while all the numbers the forcaster played himself, non came out(played). The show was a shameful one to behold actually, the forcaster was so mad that he even slapped his girlfriend in public who was trying to console him, he was later suspended from work for a week or so. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Dewi Aries on August 10, 2024, 09:16:50 PM I think it is very simple to say that it means he is out of luck while his friend is in a lucky situation at that time, it is a natural situation in betting. For the greed issue I think it depends, or I mean if he did add some options to add to the game before knowing his friend won then maybe it can be called greed by betting in large amounts, but if he did add some other options when he already knew the results of his friend's victory then I think the situation of not being able to accept the fact that his friend was much luckier is something that affects him in the sense that it drives him to bet again in the hope of getting a victory like his friend.
Gambling is full of uncertainty, meaning you will never know that the booking code you gave to someone else turned out to be the right choice to produce a victory, so just accept whatever the result. The conclusion is, bet enough and never try to chase victory just because you see other people are luckier. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Davidvictorson on August 10, 2024, 09:32:55 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. Exactly, I do not sense any greed. I feel that calling it greed is jumping into conclusions because there is no context from the other person as to why he added more games. Greed in sports betting an example is when the individual wins and despite this continues to bet even bigger bets in the hopes that they will win more money. That is greed. I'm this case, No Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Odusko on August 10, 2024, 09:37:02 PM I definitely have never given any one any sports game code to play, let alone losing while the person I shared the game code with wins, but I sure have been somewhere where I witnessed this same scenario happen before my very eyes, and if I still remember well, I've shared the story a couple of times on this forum. The question that I asked him and he was unable to answer is that, are those that predict the game going to decide the winner, just like your in house games at the casino, uptil now he was not able to answer, only then I told him that there is not sure game any where, so I don't share my betting codes neither do I accept code to bet on from others. Quote The only difference with this from mine is that, this one deals with sports betting, while that which I've seen happen was based on lotto, often called "baba ijebu" here in Nigeria, a forecaster gave his friend some set of numbers to play, while the forcaster himself played an entirely different set of numbers himself. Such a bad experience, any ways the ops did not mentioned what the reaction of the forecaster of this games was, so since the thread did not cover that aspect of the story we may not be able to know what exactly the former did to the later or if the winner decide to gift him some money out of his winning, but regardless of what happens, all that I can say is that, the winner was just so lucky and this can happen to anyone regardless of how long they have being gambling because at some point, only luck will separate the winner from the loser in a bet.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Obim34 on August 10, 2024, 09:49:13 PM Reason why I called this act of greed is because the friend of the guy that won the bet (the predictor of the game), he wasn't comfortable with the potential amount he saw on the ticket (15 M), that was why he added other games to increase the potential winning amount. If wasn't for greed he would have staked the bet the exact way he gave his friend. Parallel bets are the most risky type of bets on sport betting because the more the predictor is adding games also the more risky the games become. Partly greed and partly the result of making a wrong decision. He prepared and later on edited the slip because he felt the need to and also spotted the need to add more fixtures, now imagine if he had won with those added games on the slip and did win a bigger amount compared to his friend, then the other friend might aswell feel back lashed as to why he wasn't given those one's added. It's a whole lot of circumstances, definitely he will long lasting regret ever making that decision.

Parallel bets are the most risky type of bets on sport betting because the more the predictor is adding games also the more risky the games become. You wouldn't be wrong at all for calling the single action of that guy in question as greed. He forgets one of the most important feature of gambling, which is the fact that gambling is absolutely unpredictable, especially when it has to do with sports betting or other related games. Even if he wasn't comfortable with the current amount in the bet, what he should've done instead was to first stake the game in a single slip, then maybe edit the game to his satisfaction and then stake it on a totally different slip, just incase one of the games goes unexpectedly. Now he ended up losing everything which he could've just simply avoided if he had just obeyed his instincts.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Accardo on August 10, 2024, 10:09:38 PM Greed comes in two ways, increasing the number of games and adding extra funds to win big. Both can diminish the chances of winning, but the first mentioned affects winning a lot. I saw responses that didn't accept the gambler's added games as a greedy move. What could it have been? He wanted more, that was why he lost it all. Preferably, adding extra funds to a limited number of games subsequently helps a gamer to win his predictions like the other player.

Nah, he just lost. There's no "quitting in right time", other than in hindsight. Everything is about luck and just the fact that he won 15 million was because he risked enough. That's greed too you know, and greed sometimes get rewarded. But there's no huge wins on risking less or quitting in right time. Because right time and right bets only exist in hindsight.Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games.

What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? We just like to think the winnings were somehow in our own choices and that we were in control, because admitting that it was pure change and luck gets our control away. Only thing we can and should control is our daily / weekly / monthly gambling budget, but controlling that doesn't bring as wins, it just makes sure we don't lose everything.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? It may not actually be greed; it is just his own betting technique that has most likely worked for them before. I know a specific sport's better who has a method of eliminating some of the options from his original bet choices and replaying the other previously played games again, and it can go on until he wins. To me, this is a case of the predictor being unlucky.

It could be a little bit of greed but if he's able to bet more than his own prediction, then there's no problem with it. After all, betting prediction has no guarantees that it will bring you good profits in an instant, it's still about luck and chances.The only bad thing here is your friend won out from your winning bet, wishing you also won because you made that prediction. Sometimes, temptations are irresistible. But don't worry, if you can't win today, maybe you'll end up winning the next day. Gambling is just like that, you lose and you win, but most likely you'll end up losing.lol Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Adbitco on August 10, 2024, 10:40:00 PM It's always like this I think he thought that his potential winning is too small while compared with the amount to be stake so he decided to add more games to boost his odds to give him the exact amount needed by him but unknowingly the game he selected are the architect of his down fall. My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Unfortunately, I have seen many cases of this type. A few years ago, I traveled to another city. In that city, I went to live in a house where there was someone who also bet on sports. However, he was more radical than me in the sense that he hated having small winnings. For him, a bet had to be a multibet, and when he got it right, he would win a lot of money. He would place more than 20 games in a multibet bet. I was shocked every time he kept adding teams to his multibet bet, because in most cases he would get 16 games right, but he insisted that the games should exceed 20. And he would always get it wrong when the games exceeded 16 games. And he would complain about this. The saddest thing about all this is that when he got 16 games right, the money was a lot. So I asked him: wouldn't it be much better to have a lot of money coming from winning 16 games than to have nothing when you place 20 or more games? He told me that he would rather lose everything than settle for winning 16 games. But I kept asking myself, why the hell does the guy keep complaining and getting sad every time he loses the 20-game bet? That's when I realized that greed was destroying him. He wanted to get rich quick and he went blind.

I have done something similar to this before but it wasn't this bad, my target was 5 odds but after accumulating it I added one more game to make it 6 odds and i that game I added ruined everything Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Fortify on August 11, 2024, 08:01:21 AM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Some people have zero interest in gambling but will have a go if it looks like a freebie is on offer, likely taking the most rational path towards winning. However if you are a gambler there is always added temptation to stick another bet on to increase a parlay multiplier, but which can undo an otherwise winning bet. You haven't really defined what this "betting code" unlocked and how the actual game worked, was it a free prediction type offer? Because those will often have a massive amount of variations and it'd increase the chance of winning if two friends bet on different outcomes. If he was a good friend then surely he might have sent him a bit of cash (only say 5%) for giving him the tip.

I think that is correct that the greed can make you go in ruin.However that friend who lost was also stupid in my opinion as he could have bet the same and bet another ticket to make more money but apparently he was not convinced at all that the first initial chosen games for him would nail such a huge win,that is why in such case I say this friend is both greedy and stupid at the same time,completely different from the friend who he gave the advice which was smart enough to just give a go and of course I doubt he expected to win either yet the win was netted to him in the end.Moral of the story,greed is the evil of all things when we are gambling. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: danherbias07 on August 11, 2024, 08:21:12 AM Never happened to me, if it did, I cannot even remember it.
It's true that greed could change a lot of things especially when it comes to gambling but imagine this, what if that other guy who added more to his parlay won that ticket? Will we still be talking about greed or are we going to talk about how wise he is by adding more and winning a higher multiplier? Different people will try a better option especially if they think they can win it. Now that guy took that risk and even though he lost it, I bet he will learn from the mistake and try a better parlay next time or maybe he will just stick with the shorter parlay.

If that man stick to his prediction, he can win like his friends and enjoy his winning.
That is why we must control our greed especially if we can win from gambling. If we can do that, we can enjoy our winning by withdrawing the money and we don't have to experience lose that win money. If we want to win more money, our greed will tempting us to keeps playing gambling or placing more amount to bet.

Victory will turn into defeat when we are greedy, many people have experienced this, even in the past we may have felt the same thing caused by this greed. However, we can be better because we learn from past mistakes that we have made, there are also people who still do the same thing until now because of their greed.

If we can not hold ourselves from the greed, we will not get the tempt from gambling and we can enjoy our winning. A few days ago I met an old friend of mine who had just returned from his job. Long story short, he gambled and managed to win a big win at that time. I reminded him to immediately withdraw and enjoy it, at that time he did what I said and he also gave me tips for playing. One day later he met me again, and I asked him what he used his winnings for. He replied that he had spent it again on gambling after he parted with me to go home and he continued playing at his house. That is one example of how greed can turn victory into defeat. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: YOSHIE on August 11, 2024, 03:30:57 PM So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Gamblers often and often do this, especially in sports betting, this is the worst behavior in the world of sports, giving wrong information, but the wrong person can actually win.I often see the nature of friends treating other friends like that, I see it with my own eyes. for example: friend B asks friend A about sports betting, what are the good odds for betting on the two clubs (score) for club A or B, friend A gives friend B information about whether club B is good, But friend A didn't place a bet, instead he placed for a different club. Unfortunately, the one who won the score was club B, which provided the information, didn't win, but instead lost, that's not trusting each other and being greedy can destroy ourselves, so give us the information we are also risking, don't think we are smarter and want to fool other friends, in fact we ourselves are stupid.

I agree to your assumption. Additionally, I think he add a pick with a very low odds just to boost the odds a little since some gambler considered small odds such as below 1.1 as sure win which is perfect to bump the odds on parlay. Quote My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game. Some people usually preferred to change what’s their personal bet to make a difference to the pick that they gave to other person. Maybe he wants to win with a little higher odds to others when the result of the was known but it turns put to be a disappointment. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: LUCKMCFLY on August 11, 2024, 04:45:33 PM For me the worst consequence of greed is our conscience , because our mind sometimes can't let us sleep if it recreates everything we were doing and the possible scenarios we would Create if we hadn't made some kind of move, this is what for me is always the worst consequence, not to mention that you lose money and all this, it is a fact that it will always be like this, those who lose a lot of money by not controlling themselves, I can now say that it is their own Fault , because if we look at it, the casino does not force us to bet.

Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.On the other hand, I don't know specifically why he didn't return to his first ticket, but I'm sure that the only right reason is because he gambled by prioritizing greed so that instead of getting a win equivalent to the amount of the bet he brought, what happened was the opposite, where he went home with a zero balance while his friend managed to win big.

That's almost $10k and a lot of money. Every gambler is going to learn their lessons the hardest possible way if we can. If the chances are already there or if the money have already won, there's no need for us to be that brave at all and try to do as much as we can because that's what we think is the right thing to do.

Nah, I have never done this and I'm like a solo gambler and never talk about this in real life. I am not hiding though but I feel like it's more securing if no one knows about it and I can be free to gamble anywhere and anytime I want to.

It's hard to overextend your chances. You have to be satisfied and just come back later on. This is where you lose everything and chase your losses once you extend your luck. I'm sure his friend will give him a share of the winnings, but this is a big lesson for him to moderate his greed and just be satisfied with your winnings; in gambling, the best virtue is knowing how and when to stop.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Zigabel on August 11, 2024, 06:49:22 PM How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Gambling is unpredictable. What if it turns the other way? This will likely happen to you if you cannot moderate your greed. It's hard to overextend your chances. You have to be satisfied and just come back later on. This is where you lose everything and chase your losses once you extend your luck. I'm sure his friend will give him a share of the winnings, but this is a big lesson for him to moderate his greed and just be satisfied with your winnings; in gambling, the best virtue is knowing how and when to stop. trying to extend luck is another thing gamblers do not really give that much attention which they eventually regret because not doing this only supports your greed. when one gets into situations such s this, its usually best for them to rather just try to protect that which they are seeing as profits already because they will later not be able to get that which they were supposed to have gotten the times they had seen earlier. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Su-asa on August 11, 2024, 07:00:14 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? I think that is correct that the greed can make you go in ruin.However that friend who lost was also stupid in my opinion as he could have bet the same and bet another ticket to make more money but apparently he was not convinced at all that the first initial chosen games for him would nail such a huge win,that is why in such case I say this friend is both greedy and stupid at the same time,completely different from the friend who he gave the advice which was smart enough to just give a go and of course I doubt he expected to win either yet the win was netted to him in the end.Moral of the story,greed is the evil of all things when we are gambling. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Adbitco on August 11, 2024, 07:18:26 PM It's always like this I think he thought that his potential winning is too small while compared with the amount to be stake so he decided to add more games to boost his odds to give him the exact amount needed by him but unknowingly the game he selected are the architect of his down fall. My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game. Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.On the other hand, I don't know specifically why he didn't return to his first ticket, but I'm sure that the only right reason is because he gambled by prioritizing greed so that instead of getting a win equivalent to the amount of the bet he brought, what happened was the opposite, where he went home with a zero balance while his friend managed to win big.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? It is very hilarious but yeah it could only be greed that would have caused him to loss out in a game he initially predicted if not he added more games, most times it is good for us to have certain level of satisfaction in eat we wish or desire, what he is supposed to have done is to play the game the way he gave his friend before playing another the one he added games, but over greedy wouldn't allow him instead he added more games in order to have a more potential winning than that of the one he gave his friend, to have a little would have been better than having non. Greed in gambling can be very bad even to the extend of making some one to gamble with an amount that he or she can not afford to lose. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Orpichukwu on August 11, 2024, 09:15:30 PM Gambling is gambling. People get lucky, people lose. Blaming greed for someone's decision to add more games to a bet is a bit dramatic. If they wanted to share the winnings, they would have. Its their money, their risk. Everyone wants to win big, but the reality is, most people dont. This isnt some moral dilemma, its just how betting works. That's just the thing: gambling will continue to be gambling, and there are always two things involved in the game: either you win or you lose, and whatever the result comes out to be, the gambler just has to accept it that way.It's only when the result of the game doesn't come out positively that people will start looking for means to shift blame to something else. Assuming the extra game the guy predicted also played, there is no time it could have been tagged as him being greedy. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Cookdata on August 11, 2024, 09:30:46 PM What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? There is something I'm trying to get, does he casually win games or he was lucky to help someone win a game today. I think if he has a high number of winning rate, this is not something to be bothered about. What I think is that he was over confidence in his selection and he went overboard and things went hay while the guy who was lucky with initial played it like that, that's not just greed right there but when you are too confidence but indirectly, you are making mistake. The game wasn't his lucky day and he messup, he can't go back to such position again, he should focus on doing what he does best and improve his strategy, he will win what he lost on that day, perhaps more bigger if he has a good gambling strategy and skills to win money in tte casino.

I'll play the devil's advocate here and would suppose that he's not being greedy with that type of setting, instead what he was doing was making sure that his chances for winning are amped by means of putting your eggs in separate baskets. He has a lot of games in his pocket, so when one of them does win he's still going to be able to win shit. What he didn't take into account unfortunately was just how much the losses are going to cost him against his wins, but then again that's something you can easily attribute to blind misfortune and not him being greedy. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area.

People winning stupendous amounts of money only to end up with a pack of gum after the session cause they think they'll be on a spree is just one of the examples. This guy you're talking about OP on the other hand, is debatable. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Dr.Bitcoin_Strange on August 12, 2024, 11:06:55 AM It's funny to me, bro. Although he was not actually aware that he was going to win the bet, that's why he decided to add more games. I did agree with you that it was greed because he must not have been satisfied with the potential winning he was seeing there, so he wanted to increase it.I have had this experience of adding more games to my compilation, and it was the two last games I added that made me lose the bet.After it happens to me, I don't usually add all my games to my ticket. If I have already compiled the first prediction, I will stake on it first and still use the code to restake on that same game, but before I do so, I will then add the other games I wanted to add.
The reason I do so is so that if the first one is not successful, the second ticket will. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: nara1892 on August 12, 2024, 11:30:40 AM Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself. It's not actually good to be too expectant on what to earn as a gambler because if he mirror himself down it could had been more better for him to win than hoping on higher amount to win, now he finally lose his entire bet in the name to increase his winnings while his friend has made a big win without him securing any that is why is very bad to be too greedy.On the other hand, I don't know specifically why he didn't return to his first ticket, but I'm sure that the only right reason is because he gambled by prioritizing greed so that instead of getting a win equivalent to the amount of the bet he brought, what happened was the opposite, where he went home with a zero balance while his friend managed to win big. Therefore, do not focus too much on winning because it is nothing more than a chance, as you said, do not put too much hope. So of course it is better for us to focus on the possibility of what if we lose, the choice is whether you want to lose a large amount or a small amount, and of course everyone does not want to experience a large defeat. Therefore, because of this, it is better for us to bet in small amounts, what is feared is when it turns out that luck is far from us, of course your hopes will end in significant regret as experienced by the person told by OP Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: stomachgrowls on August 12, 2024, 11:55:50 AM Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.

On the time that you would really be making yourself that being having no control then this is where shit things do happen. Consequences of greed isnt really just that present on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well. You would really be needing up yourself to be that mindful about the actions that you are taking. Greed is never been good but its not bad to have some targets or goals but you should really be doing it on moderation. The main issue for most people is that on the time that they are doing excessive things then this is where things becomes that problematic. The key on here is that you should really know on what you are really that doing. This is why it would really be best that everything should really in moderation so that you wont really be having any problems. Gambling for the sake of fun and never ever make yourself that projecting out on how you would really be that making money then this is where issues do really raise up. So better play for fun and never intent on other things. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: BigBos on August 12, 2024, 11:58:27 AM the consequences of greed are of course losses or misery, when someone gambles and gets a sense of greed of course it will make them experience great losses even though they have made a profit but when they feel greed then it is something that will bring disaster to them, either the profit will be lost or even all the money they have can also be lost.
the thing to consider when gambling is self-control, because when there is good self-control then there will be no sense of greed that will make us experience great losses. greed brings disaster so it must be put aside. that's the key.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Marykeller on August 12, 2024, 01:31:37 PM This is not greed. This is a common habit that most gamblers are involved with: "add or remove some games" from their bets. They can find themselves lucky or unlucky at the end of their bets.
I think this is one of the ugly experiences that one wishes not to encounter in gambling, that a simple act of adding two or three games to their bets denies them the opportunity of being rich for life. That can be heartbreaking to explain or withstand. I wonder how the guy in question will feel about all this each time he remembers this ugly experience. This can leave him depressed for months before he can be able to forget a little of his terrible mistakes of adding little games to his gambling bets.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: GxSTxV on August 12, 2024, 04:55:45 PM What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? First, as long as we have different nationalities in the forum it is better to use either Bitcoin or USD while sharing a story or example, that’s my opinion. Second, when it comes to your topic and the story, I find everything in it but not greed, which is surprising that you couldn’t make a difference between greed and normal gambling activity. In many ways, that player who advised his friend could win the other games also and make better profits, or in another scenario both could lose the bet, and as long as nothing is assured we cannot call it greed. For instance, if that person have won the first bet and made a significant profit, then later decided to gamble more, this is where we can call it greed. The Op should be careful next time in posting things without any kind of understanding or knowledge, since I believe that anyone can easily make a difference between greed and normal behavior of a gambler. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: SmartGold01 on August 12, 2024, 05:05:07 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. Yes that is but mostly as gambler we knows as greed because if that what is in the tickets was enough for him there won't be a time he would go alter the game to increase his amount to win. That is why I somehow accept to what op is saying here because if not greed then nothing, you know already that if someone is placing bet they are doing it according to amount they could accept to risk and whatever that made a gambler to predict game and later run he noticed that the games is not enough for him or maybe he feels to increase his odds then we can call it greed because at first he wouldn't had allowed that to happened to him, even though it known that we can't predict what we may likely see in gambling as the last results but we should also learned to remain with our games after selections.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: alani123 on August 12, 2024, 05:24:53 PM I wouldn't call this greed. Potential winnings aren't real winnings. You lose only with money out of pocket, not with profit you didn't withdraw.
You never had this money in the first place, you'll never have it from the bet you lose so no loss but no gain either. So I wouldn't blame OP's friend for being a casual gambler and taking a large risk with a free code. To me it wouldn't matter. Because every day I lost bets that had huge multipliers. I don't care that much to be honest because I know these bets wouldn't even be placed in the first place if I couldn't max out my bet slip. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: erep on August 12, 2024, 05:41:33 PM The important role one who's not ever ready or have any interest in gamble should know is that he should not be closer to anyone that's gambling because the more one is closer to a gambler that how he develops interest on gambe activities. Usually they are easily provoked because they see other people gambling, they have a high desire to gamble and this will have an impact on gambling addiction, so you have to keep yourself away from the gambling environment and avoid hanging out with people who are addicted to gambling.Quote And again, greed makes a man lose more in everything that he does, ones greed is included in his activities he starts losings gradually. The problem is that greed gives one the believe to think that he will gain more if do things the opposite ways. Greed is the main problem that must be avoided and they must anticipate several steps not to get involved in greed. The important solution is that you must determine the limit of money for gambling and never add/deposit other money when you lose a bet. However, they cannot follow that simple solution because emotions have influenced them to gain profits from gambling without considering the high losses.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: sompitonov on August 12, 2024, 05:43:38 PM Yes that is but mostly as gambler we knows as greed because if that what is in the tickets was enough for him there won't be a time he would go alter the game to increase his amount to win. That is why I somehow accept to what op is saying here because if not greed then nothing, you know already that if someone is placing bet they are doing it according to amount they could accept to risk and whatever that made a gambler to predict game and later run he noticed that the games is not enough for him or maybe he feels to increase his odds then we can call it greed because at first he wouldn't had allowed that to happened to him, even though it known that we can't predict what we may likely see in gambling as the last results but we should also learned to remain with our games after selections. The thing is that greed in the game comes smoothly at first and then gradually increases. The player can very easily lose this feeling when he needs to tell himself to stop, but most do not do this because they do not want to leave as losers. Due to the fact that many have too much stress in life, everyone goes to gambling games for victories and to win money. Therefore, bets continue even if it seems that it is enough, but no, the player places and each time promises himself that he lacks just a little to win, literally 1 spin. Remember yourself when you play and learn to stop without these excuses, because if you can stop yourself, then we have willpower and greed does not put pressure on us.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: famososMuertos on August 12, 2024, 05:49:53 PM ....greed... I don't know why the connotation of greed exists, combined bets are just that, bets that increase your winnings with associated probabilities, simply that. When it's my money, combined bets rarely reach 10 selections, but if I receive a Freebet, not always but I make combined bets that I would never make and it's not because of greed, I just do it and that's it. Sometimes I actually take bets of 1.04 just to get to a round 100x, e.g. , if you understand me. In the past few days one of these so-called safe bets simply screwed up my combined bet. So it's relative, for some of us it's simply not greed, it's just another day of betting. https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/12/5xtcd.png https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/12/5xzq5.png Freebet https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/12/5xNMz.png https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/12/5xEJ2.png In this last one the objective was 8x ;) Just have fun, and do what you think is right for you, what others do is just a reference, good or bad just take what you think can help you. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: darkangel11 on August 12, 2024, 07:00:31 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. It might have been greed, or he just wanted to mix things up so that he would not have the same exact bet as his friend. We don't know that. I feel like OP is very early to judge without knowing first hand how it happened. That said, I agree that in some situations greed is at fault, but here the players did not know how safe the bets are, what their chances were and all that. I bet both of them thought they were going to lose so they did not focus on the bet too much and it was a complete surprise for both of them. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: sunsilk on August 12, 2024, 08:22:21 PM Blaming is always part of the game when gambling. We look for someone or something to put the blame for our losses and being unlucky. That's one consequence of being greedy and we should be standing on our fault and don't look it to someone because no matter how bad we are on that day. We shouldn't put the blame to anyone and only point it to ourselves. That's what you call irresponsible gambling. Why would we blame other people for our mistakes? In the first place, we weren't forced to gamble; it was our own will to gamble in a casino, and we agreed to the terms. Sometimes, just knowing the terms isn't enough, being a good gambler we really have to develop a sense of responsibility within ourselves so we don't make mistakes, and worse, get addicted, which could lead to blaming others or, even worse, ruining our family. From the beginning, we should be able to determine if we can handle the pressure, as gambling is very addictive for those who are emotionally weak. There are people who can't continue without doing so and put their blame and anger on somebody because that's what they think is the right thing to do. But as you've said, that's true this is a kind of irresponsible gambling and they have to make themselves arranged and composed and stop doing it because it's not good to see that someone's feelings is being hurt just because of unluckiness.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Juse14 on August 12, 2024, 08:57:00 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? It is a very common phenomenon in sports betting. Someone may try to perfect their chance of winning by adding more games into those they are predicting. But, as you noted, this often leads to a losing streak because of the increased greed. Sometimes, simplicity in the prediction, without too many changes, is what proves to be more profitable. In case you have ever gone through such, am sure many have, it reaches a point where you feel like yes let me give it to that friend who wins and then sees themselves win also but with a different prediction other than what they had selected. It serves as a reminder that maybe less is more some of the time and simple is better-in betting.

ITs not a form of greed all the time but rather it would really be that pertaining on how someone will really be that handling out this situation or condition basing up into their interest. This is why adding up more bets or not then it would really be all depending on you. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: usekevin on August 12, 2024, 09:22:14 PM I wouldn't call this greed. Potential winnings aren't real winnings. You lose only with money out of pocket, not with profit you didn't withdraw. You never had this money in the first place, you'll never have it from the bet you lose so no loss but no gain either. So I wouldn't blame OP's friend for being a casual gambler and taking a large risk with a free code. To me it wouldn't matter. Because every day I lost bets that had huge multipliers. I don't care that much to be honest because I know these bets wouldn't even be placed in the first place if I couldn't max out my bet slip. The greedy was different one,because the gamblers who play many games in the gambling site will get excited with the big money raised from the small investment in the gambling site.This will increase their wishes towards the gambling site,Now the gamblers will use all the money earned in that game to multiple again.Due to some addiction,some gamblers use the old used money and the money won from the gambling site.Mostly they will loss the full money because of overconfidence towards their guessing in the betting of gambling games. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: 348Judah on August 12, 2024, 09:36:28 PM One of the consequences of greed is continuous loss in gambling because one will be busy chasing after winning and this may not be coming as expected, a greedy gambler may end up not meeting up with his targets, this is what soem other will think and take for striving, while as to some, it is not, when we are greedy, we are only in dispkay of our personal interests, this will have a great repercussion towards the way we gambles.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? If he wasn’t mean to win, I guess that's not his lucky day I think. If he his good was able to compile games like that and win, he can do it again. The one he lost, if he can change it, he would go back in time to do that but never expect it and beside, we have seen gamblers edit thousand odd to their taste and were ale to win, he could have won that one too but perhaps one or two games never do well. I have also seen a person give betting games to his friends and goons to stake and they all won but the source of the bet never won anything because there is no money to play. There are many of them that are good in game selection but their greed is the reason why they hardly win something serious. You see them with 20-40 games with small wager just because they want to win huge money, these are some of the problems. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: ethereumhunter on August 13, 2024, 04:25:09 AM Victory will turn into defeat when we are greedy, many people have experienced this, even in the past we may have felt the same thing caused by this greed. However, we can be better because we learn from past mistakes that we have made, there are also people who still do the same thing until now because of their greed. That is the consequences of greed. People actually know what is consequences of greed but they willing to test themselves to keep playing gambling to chase more winning. They don't realizes that if they keep playing gambling, that will not makes them win easily but they can lose their win money plus their funds. Many people already experienced that and we know about that so we must not follow what they do instead will take care of ourselves from greed.A few days ago I met an old friend of mine who had just returned from his job. Long story short, he gambled and managed to win a big win at that time. I reminded him to immediately withdraw and enjoy it, at that time he did what I said and he also gave me tips for playing. One day later he met me again, and I asked him what he used his winnings for. He replied that he had spent it again on gambling after he parted with me to go home and he continued playing at his house. That is one example of how greed can turn victory into defeat. Greed can comes any time especially when you can win big money or hit the jackpot. You want to repeat your winning so you decide to keeps playing gambling instead withdraw your money but after playing gambling for some rounds, you realizes that your luck leaves you but you already lose the win money. The situation changes and you now want to recover your lose and win again like before but that will not happen as you want because gambling will not gives the winning to you easily. a gambler can usually control his emotions and not be greedy after experiencing some bad events as an experience that he uses as his learning. If a gambler can control himself when playing gambling, that will helps you to stay away from greed and other bad things. He can learn from other gambler experience who keeps playing gambling and chase their win but they lose their money. If he realizes that keep playing gambling can makes them become greed, they will not want to try because that can makes them lose for more money.many gamblers share stories not to be stupid when gambling greedily. but it will be difficult for gamblers to apply when they do not feel the real situation themselves. I agree greed in gambling is a bad choice. we can win some but have to lose everything when we become greedy. all choices are in our own hands, and sometimes we forget something that gets bigger also has risks. We need more things to use other gambler's story for ourselves so we don't have to get the same bad experiences like them. We can learn how to control our greed in gambling so gambling will not gives a bad effect to us. Greed can make us lose much money and even we will not realizes if we use more money to playing gambling because we get more sensation to feels the win and lose. We want to have more from that so that makes us to keeps playing gambling without thinks about stopping our gambling activity.

Greed and the desire to quickly get the winnings literally make the gambler blind. He thinks only about the result, the result seems to be about to be reached, and this feeling does not leave the gambler. He wants to win and is ready to lend huge sums from friends and acquaintances, just to bring the cherished winnings closer to him. But as a rule, he loses more and more. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: nara1892 on August 13, 2024, 11:51:00 AM In gambling, the problem of winning is always unknown, meaning that regardless of whether your actions tend to be excessive or not, the results are always unknown about whether you will win or vice versa. Therefore, do not focus too much on winning because it is nothing more than a chance, as you said, do not put too much hope. So of course it is better for us to focus on the possibility of what if we lose, the choice is whether you want to lose a large amount or a small amount, and of course everyone does not want to experience a large defeat. Therefore, because of this, it is better for us to bet in small amounts, what is feared is when it turns out that luck is far from us, of course your hopes will end in significant regret as experienced by the person told by OP Some could be able to control but majority would really be that losing their cool and becomes that impulsive. On the time that you would really be making yourself that being having no control then this is where shit things do happen. Consequences of greed isnt really just that present on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well. You would really be needing up yourself to be that mindful about the actions that you are taking. Greed is never been good but its not bad to have some targets or goals but you should really be doing it on moderation. The main issue for most people is that on the time that they are doing excessive things then this is where things becomes that problematic. The key on here is that you should really know on what you are really that doing. This is why it would really be best that everything should really in moderation so that you wont really be having any problems. Gambling for the sake of fun and never ever make yourself that projecting out on how you would really be that making money then this is where issues do really raise up. So better play for fun and never intent on other things. And to avoid some acts of greed I think maintaining and implementing firmness towards the defense of consciousness can be a good alternative to be used as prevention. On the other hand as you said that greed will never be something good and it has been proven that we can see how the impact is experienced by addicted gamblers who often apply greed, in the end instead of getting a bigger win but instead ending up with a zero balance and significant regret. Everything must be measurable, in the sense that we must know about the positive and negative impacts of every action and decision, and actually it doesn't matter if you want to apply greed as long as you know and are aware of the consequences and of course you must be able to accept the risks, don't be a loser, that's embarrassing. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Dewi Aries on August 13, 2024, 02:22:36 PM Yes, and of course regret is definitely at the forefront, what we have to understand is that we never know the outcome of the game we choose, and of course ending up with a small amount of winnings is much better than ending up with nothing. As I said that we never know whether our choices will be in accordance with expectations or not, meaning taking too high a risk will only lead us to significant regret especially when defeat occurs. Therefore, this is why we always recommend treating gambling moderately, the point is not to exceed the limits of ability and this is also the reason why limiting expectations of victory must be done by gamblers, and also the fact that in most cases greed is always the trigger for significant regret. And above you have said the right thing that gamblers are created to experience more defeats than victories, and I think that is very natural when we realize that gambling is a business for bookmakers, applying caution and maintaining awareness along with always thinking with rational common sense are some of the parts that will keep us safe in the long run.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Kavelj22 on August 13, 2024, 05:14:09 PM Greed while gambling can have serious consequences for an individual. When a person is in the habit of making bigger gains, he becomes an impersonal member, which increases the likelihood of losing. This greed drives the player to take the bet in the bet, even when the odds are against him, with the expectation that the big one will win soon. But in reality, gambling is based on luck and not skill, which means that greed often leads to many shares. In addition, greed can lead to gambling addiction, which negatively affects the social and psychological life of the individual, as it may destroy relationships and lead to financial and financial problems.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Furious 7 on August 14, 2024, 02:46:55 PM The urge of winning big money is what makes a gamblers to be so naive on gamble, greed misleads gambler to hunt for bigger money. Although most times they gets lucky but they still lose it again. However it feels bad to see someone win and still lose the money back, it's also this same thing that hunts some gamblers that's why they over react when they lose. that's right, gamblers usually become more aggressive when they feel greed in themselves, the hunt for a bigger win will be done by those who are already controlled by greed because it will make them gamble blindly without thinking about the risk side that will occur and which is clear. This greed is a problem that I think is no longer foreign when discussing gambling, however everyone who gambles must have felt the desire to get a bigger win.That overreaction will not happen if they can control themselves well, such as by making the best use of the win, namely by cashing it out immediately. when the winnings that have been obtained are lost again, of course there will be a feeling of annoyance or emotion as well as an overreaction when everything ends not according to expectations, but that is a definite consequence of gambling, so what must be considered is that if you really want a bigger win, you must be prepared to lose a larger amount. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: I_Anime on August 14, 2024, 05:02:49 PM I will just say his friend was lucky that the game went his way . Because we all are aware that gambling or betting is all about luck it can't be predicted anything can happen . But the other folk that went ahead adding other games in order to win more , I will say his greed get the best of him how can you share came and didn't follow it , instead you went to add some extra games .

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Oluwa-btc on August 14, 2024, 07:46:08 PM I'm sure he will regret it and will have a sleepless night, but that's the risk of luck-based games. You really never know if what you predicted will come out; I guess his consolation is his friend will share a portion of his winnings with him for giving him the code. I hope his friend does that out of consideration. When a friend gives me a tip that I believe is credible, I always follow everything on it because it's not easy to analyze the game, and for his effort, I follow his advice and will not blame him if I lose because that's part of the game. I definitely know how it feels to see your friend win the game you predict while you loose yours,I would say it's greed cause he would have just played same game and won the 15 million as well but greed didn't let him cause he thinks he would win more than that and another way I would see it is that he was not confident enough to believe the game would turn out as predicted so that's why he decided to add more games to it. It's not is fault I must say but he'll sure learn his lesson to always Believe in his predictions, sometimes what I do is I don't really put in much hope in my predictions cause it might just be one tiny game that would cut off and spoil the whole game for me but I still believe I can still make something out of it anyway.

Just avoid it in all aspects not just in gambling. Not every greedy gambler is necessarily a gambling addict, but there is a strong link between greed and gambling addiction. When greed continues to drive a person’s gambling behavior, addiction gradually develops. Greed compels an individual to pursue gains no matter the outcome, and eventually, gambling becomes an integral part of a person’s life, leading to addiction. Overall, it can be said that while greed does not necessarily lead to gambling addiction, it is a powerful factor that increases the likelihood of developing an addiction. Greed drives individuals to continue gambling despite negative consequences, and reduces their ability to make informed decisions, making them vulnerable to gambling addiction.

Its not actually greed but rather it is really that something that you have done yourself making some additional into your bets on which you dont even know if that the old list you have given into your friend would be able to win or not, it all matters about being randomness. This is why it isnt really just that right that we would really be drawing up some conclusions that this is some sort of greed thing. Although it might be that the case but it will really be basing or depending up into someones approach because if that bettor did make out that additional because he isnt really that contented in the odds that he is seeing then it is really that a sign of greed on which we know that most of the time this could really be leading up to disaster. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on how to handle up yourself in times like these on which we know that results or outcomes is never been known.

The person was just greedy, maybe he wanted his win to be more than his friend's own, hat was why he decided to add some bets to his own, but luck wasn’t by his side, things didn’t go well for him, and he lost. He should have just placed the same bet that he gave his friend without adding anything, and by now, he would have won a good amount of money, but greed killed him. Next time, he won’t allow something like this to repeat itself.What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? I haven’t given any one booking code, and they person will win, and I will lose, if am winning, we are winning together, and if am losing, then we are losing together, because I will use the same code to place my bet.

He thinks only about the result, the result seems to be about to be reached, and this feeling does not leave the gambler. He wants to win and is ready to lend huge sums from friends and acquaintances, just to bring the cherished winnings closer to him. The urge of winning big money is what makes a gamblers to be so naive on gamble, greed misleads gambler to hunt for bigger money. Although most times they gets lucky but they still lose it again. However it feels bad to see someone win and still lose the money back, it's also this same thing that hunts some gamblers that's why they over react when they lose. But as a rule, he loses more and more. Greed is a thing of the mind and it's an habit that many people find difficult to fight. Most gamblers have regretted heavily in the past because they allowed the greedy part of them to override them and that have gone to spoil both the little and the big opportunities that came their ways.

The application of greedy in gambling happens in manyfolds but always working towards disciplining ourselves against greed is the best decision to take across all walks of life. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Egii Nna on August 14, 2024, 08:55:56 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? The story is torching, but to me I will say that the guy that loses what due to two things that make him lose will have to try his luck to see if he can get more money than his friend that he shares the same code with because he thinks that all his predictions will come true, forgetting that predictions come 50/50 and also dealing with luck, and the other thing that still makes him lose is also that he has no luck. because if he had luck even as he played those more games, he would have won, but all this overconfidence and greediness will also be involved because what is inside if you have waited and played the same game together so that even if you are losing, you guys should list together? But because you are not sure of the game that he gave his friend, that is why he decided to add more, and he ended up losing due to his actions and also his faith. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: slapper on August 14, 2024, 11:17:32 PM ~snip~ Right, and on the other hand the problem is that often some of them cannot appreciate the luck that comes that leads them to victory, like the greed you said, instead of cashing in and enjoying the results but they try to pursue something much bigger, I don't know the specific reason but what is certain is that it happens maybe because they feel great or they feel a much bigger victory is near, even though there is still no certainty and guarantee to always be able to achieve victory, let alone consecutive victories.This is gambling, a business for casinos where they seek profit from gamblers who lose, meaning when you have indeed succeeded in winning then be wise in making decisions, don't let your decisions lead you to become a victim of the casino like your winnings being withdrawn by the casino, because of course I can also feel that it is very disappointing and causes significant regret. Living is a gamble; the house always wins. That is the 101 version of computational thinking. See the trends and figure the chances. Know when to stop escalating the stakes; you know when to withdraw. You succeed? Take pleasure in it. Don't be that man running after the next high and losing everything he owns. Greed will chew you alive. Remember, the transient nature of satisfaction.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? I quite understand that kind of story from your side about the man who won 15 million naira on sports betting and somehow, the real twist sounds like it is related to corruption in the outcome. According to your count, his winning friend initially placed a betting code that could pay out 15 million naira. He later wished to change the bet by adding more games, and in due course, this greed made him lose the bet, but his clingning friend won all of the money. This situation thus teaches an interesting lesson about the place of greed in decision-making. It was because of this that the bet changed, and this friend of ours lost outright in the end. This explains how we compromise our very chances of winning to the pursuit of big rewards sometimes. Much of life, including gambling, is often best conducted by a well-thought-out plan as the best policy to increase other risks. Ever heard of or had a situation when changing a strategy that eats in early 1990s causes you a loss?

Greed will chew you alive. Remember, the transient nature of satisfaction. Keep it from ruling over you So realize it from now on, while it's not too late, in the sense that while the much worse impact has not hit you. On the other hand, it is impossible for a visitor to know about the recipes and food formulas used for each meal in a restaurant, you just come and enjoy it, meaning it makes no sense to apply greed when in fact you don't know at all about how the algorithm applied by the casino to each game provided, self-confidence? that's nothing more than hope and not the skill to crack the code, so of course change it now before it's too late. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: bubilas on August 15, 2024, 07:56:41 AM One of the consequences of greed is continuous loss in gambling because one will be busy chasing after winning and this may not be coming as expected, a greedy gambler may end up not meeting up with his targets, this is what soem other will think and take for striving, while as to some, it is not, when we are greedy, we are only in dispkay of our personal interests, this will have a great repercussion towards the way we gambles. Greed and the desire to quickly get the winnings literally make the gambler blind.

He wants to win and is ready to lend huge sums from friends and acquaintances, just to bring the cherished winnings closer to him. But as a rule, he loses more and more. You see, I can understand their logic. Have you ever been in such a financial situation when nothing changed around you? I mean, when there was so little money that the routine year after year was very boring to you with its monotony?

Plus, the meticulous paperwork and connections should be there for everything to move quickly when something unexpected happens. Yeah, I'd rather just gamble too than be in that position where many things should be done instead of relaxing and just enjoying the game. Business-minded people can do that and I bet they will make a lot of money in the future but still, they have to keep up with the sudden changes of things like updates and more games being added to satisfy their customers.

It tests character and temptation resistance. Consider the probabilities, dangers, and make a calculated conclusion. Not only the money, but also your future, reputation, and piece of mind. Some people say its crazy to stop while ahead, but they dont comprehend the game. Life is long-term investment, not gambling. Greed can make you prioritize short-term benefits over long-term success. Understanding greed can help us avoid financial loss and the emotional and social effects of unwise decisions. Discipline, patience, and true success may be learned. Thats the jackpot, folks.

And clearly the situation is very different from the situation when a gambler first managed to win, the increase in dopamine levels will cause an increase in confidence and hope, when you managed to win x10 of the capital, then you will change the goal to x1000 and so on until finally the situation will reverse where someone will lose all the winnings again along with the initial capital they brought until finally in some cases most likely the action of stopping will only be done when a gambler no longer has anything to bet.

Booking code is the code you get after you're done with predictions of games you want in one slip with your preferred options. It's mostly used by sports betting platforms that also have a space for users of the betting site to input their booking codes when necessary. The essence of it is that when the code is encoded by you or another person that wants to bet on the exact games you've already booked, the games and the options that's already been initially predicted appears on your screen so you can go on to stake your bet. Well, I think it is important that the choices that you make are your own and you don’t have to decide to go with other people and change with what they think.

In gambling, the spirit of greediness is always there, but someone has to control themselves. It's not really easy not to be a greedy gambler, especially when someone is poor, will just be looking for an opportunity to win big money so it can be same level with is other rich people. Everyone knows that gambling is based on luck but not fully, someone needs to do some analysis if they want to win.If someone is greedy, will they be able to do some analysis of all the games they pick, especially in terms of soccer betting? If we think wisely, we will discover that winning in gambling is not that hard if we are not greedy. Just imagine a person who is not greedy and he staking on two or three teams that are in good form, the opportunity of winning he winning the bet will be high.

I enjoyed reading you both, truly luck can't be industrialized, and gamblers need this information. Greedy gamblers struggle with stopping after winning big, and it's abnormal. Most gamblers easily stop after winning and withdraw to enjoy other activities. However, after winning, it's difficult for some players to quit. They see it as a huge opportunity to garner more. That's why such players end up losing all they've initially won. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: uneng on August 15, 2024, 09:43:22 PM The situation faced by the gambler who lost the entire prize because he went further on his bets is a common situation experienced by gamblers who try to turn gambling into their primary source of income or job for a living. They want to make continuous profit from the activity and end losing all their money the more they play. You can only hope that they learn with their own mistakes, becoming more responsible and aware about gambling consequences in future gambling sessions. Thankfully his friend didn't follow his steps and stopped playing after winning the 15 million naira prize.
To have a good influence of a friend around can also help the greedy one to start changing his actions, as he can get inspired by his friend who was able to profit from gamble and quit for his own good. In every cases, gamblers have to be aware gambling won't guarantee them a reliable source of income every week or month. A gambler who can't accept this fact is fighting against reality and will inevitably face the consequences for being stubborn. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Kavelj22 on August 15, 2024, 10:46:45 PM In addition, greed can lead to gambling addiction, which negatively affects the social and psychological life of the individual, as it may destroy relationships and lead to financial and financial problems. I think that greedy gamblers in make bets are definitely addicted. Gamblers who are not addicted know the limits they can bet and do. All gamblers definitely want bigger wins, but we have to see if our potential and chances of winning will increase or decrease.greed always leaves bad results. Just avoid it in all aspects not just in gambling. In another post I was discussing the issue of anger, which can be a characteristic of a large group of gamblers, and I concluded that anger, like greed, is a trait associated with addiction, or that it can be described as a symptom of addiction. This is exactly what I wrote except I changed the word "anger" to "greed": (you'll see how this works both ways) Greed can disable a person’s ability to make rational decisions. When greed takes over, a person becomes less able to objectively evaluate risks and benefits, leading to poor decisions, such as continuing to gamble despite losses. This irrational behavior is almost a common trait among addicts. People who gamble violently often find it difficult to control their urge to gamble. This loss of control is a key indicator of addiction. Over time, the violence becomes a driving force that keeps the individual returning to gambling again and again, even when they are aware of the potential harm.

However it feels bad to see someone win and still lose the money back, it's also this same thing that hunts some gamblers that's why they over react when they lose. The urge to win big money is not the only thing in play here; in most cases, it's usually the greed of trying to use a small amount to win big money that makes people make the wrong choice of game in order for them to double their wager amount with games that provide them with high odds. I have seen people who place bets with a small amount of money, which is not even up to a dollar, and will want to place a series of bets in up to 15 to 20 matches and will expect to use that small wager amount to win thousands of dollars, which, looking at it from a normal point of view, is an insane move.

That doesn't bother me as much as losing a single game can ruin the whole bet slip. It bothers me to see players who have lost a whole game because of a single game go ahead to book too many games in a slip. The player's desire to win more through added games always will fetch losses. Gaming is more beneficial with few games. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Samlucky O on August 16, 2024, 05:49:13 AM What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Although sometimes it is like that, no body is too sure of their predictions till it's plays. A game that has not been won can not be classified as greed because he was not sure the game would play, He was just trying to increase his chances of wining big. It would have been greed if he had win that amount and still gamble them to lost, like wining #15m and try to double it or triple it. In other words i don't think if I've given anyone code which made him to win and I loose, but rather i have duplicates or reprinted a bet slip from someone and won while the person didn't play the game because he was convinced by his friend that the game will not play. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: ethereumhunter on August 16, 2024, 07:57:28 AM Everyone knows "A fool and his money are soon parted." Always true. Even smart individuals sometimes do stupid things out of greed. Greed teaches us. It helps us understand our vulnerabilities, what we cant control, and how to make sensible choices. The point is if we can take care of our money with right, we will lose that money in gambling and no needs to takes too long to see that will happens. Greed will comes to us in gambling especially when we can win from gambling games so that will makes us to be aware from the temptation of gambling and must prevents that happens to us. Greed gives consequences to us by losing more and more money without we realizes so that is why we must have control over ourselves so we can prevents the big lose.Winning makes it easier to get excited. You feel unbeatable. Thats when you must be cautious. It tests character and temptation resistance. Consider the probabilities, dangers, and make a calculated conclusion. Not only the money, but also your future, reputation, and piece of mind. Some people say its crazy to stop while ahead, but they dont comprehend the game. Life is long-term investment, not gambling. Greed can make you prioritize short-term benefits over long-term success. Understanding greed can help us avoid financial loss and the emotional and social effects of unwise decisions. Discipline, patience, and true success may be learned. Thats the jackpot, folks. We must be wise when playing gambling and can see the current situation so we can decide when to stops from playing gambling. We don't want to get deeper in gambling because of greed because the consequences can becomes bigger and that means we will lose much money. Greed will not gives what we want instead just makes us lose our money and many people already lose everything they have so we must really avoids that thing.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: nara1892 on August 16, 2024, 02:44:43 PM Yes, it is much easier to quit a gambling session when a gambler has lost all their capital and then consider it finished as you said. The decision is made not because they no longer want to continue but clearly there is nothing more they can do when all their money is gone. When someone makes such radical decisions , the game is very dangerous, dangerous in the sense that they can lose a lot of money and risk their entire capital. I wouldn't do it , At one time when I was a novice, I did, but at this point I don't do Something like that, because I evaluate all the consequences. For me, the biggest consequence of letting yourself be carried away by greed and losing everything is that the person will begin a direct path to Addiction. On the other hand, I see that it seems that you are one of the gamblers who are able to make experience a lesson in the sense of not making the same mistakes as various impulsive actions including greed, and I am sure that all gamblers can definitely change their approach for the better when they are able to use their common sense well.

It has not happened to me but I would not look too much into it, if the person that gave the tip to his friend knew for sure that bet was going to be the winner, then it is clear they would have increased their bet size as much as they could to maximize their winnings instead in this way, so he just happened to predict that game correctly and fail at the rest of the games, and while it makes for an interesting anecdote, there is not really much that can be learned from it.Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: bastisisca on August 16, 2024, 03:21:06 PM Interesting! I enjoyed reading you both, truly luck can't be industrialized, and gamblers need this information. Greedy gamblers struggle with stopping after winning big, and it's abnormal. Most gamblers easily stop after winning and withdraw to enjoy other activities. However, after winning, it's difficult for some players to quit. They see it as a huge opportunity to garner more. That's why such players end up losing all they've initially won. I honestly think it's a strictly biological and chemical reason. When you win you have very high levels of dopamine and dopamine is like a drug. It is addictive and you need increasingly larger doses to have the same effect. I think this is the main reason.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? What do you mean he received a code?, It its just like a tip came from other people?, if that's the case I guess its possible to happen but not as always it could be accurate, also your friend already wins a large amount and it seems ideal that he make a cashout to prevent more losses sometime player keeps testing out their luck, its like an easy money to achieve the large amount and the easy to vanish at the same time well its a part of the gambling so there's nothing new about it. It is better to make awareness if you have a target goal to play greedy decisions sometimes makes more terrible moves and consequence is to lose more.

Think like a computer - every bet's an algorithm. Risk versus reward, not just money, but your peace of mind, your relationships.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: DaNNy001 on August 16, 2024, 06:57:34 PM It would surprise me more if he asked for a cut from that friend because the code comes from him. It's his fault that he lost though. He added more in his parlay and the other guy didn't. Nothing seems unusual about this, but he got greedy thinking he could win more for being too confident. Can't blame them for aiming more, if he won then he would have gotten more than 15M. He took the risk. But it's not the end of the world after losing money, there are ways to earn them back and life goes on. Some people would see that as the right thing to do after all he was the brainbox of the game but he doesn't get to tell his friend what he's going to get out of the money , his friend can give him what ever he can give... sometimes when we make multiple selections we should avoid combining too much games but that's what makes It fun and interesting, it's something that has an uncertain outcome.. that's why I love to bet online so that I can monitor my games and cash out any little thing when it starts going sideways Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Rockstarguy on August 16, 2024, 07:14:16 PM What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? What happened is not just a matter of greed, this can happen to any random gambler. Sometimes when we are giving game by someone their is this belief that if we play the game in our way by adding more it can end up as win. Gambling is just a game of luck which you can never predict what can be the outcome of the game. I won't blame him for changing the game because it is possible for same thing to happen next time that will lead to win.For me I don't think what happened was as a result of greed, just that the dude had so much confidence that his own game will be a win for him but it was so hard that he missed the game that would have been a huge win for him.

This is gambling, a business for casinos where they seek profit from gamblers who lose, meaning when you have indeed succeeded in winning then be wise in making decisions, don't let your decisions lead you to become a victim of the casino like your winnings being withdrawn by the casino, because of course I can also feel that it is very disappointing and causes significant regret. you must understand that approaching gambling must be a way to pass a few minutes, if you make a big win many are tempted to try to replicate it, but luck doesn't always happen. In that case it is better to exit and continue as it has always been done. There is no strategy, there is no method. There is only luck and you cannot industrialize luck. But in some cases, they might need the luck when the games are kneeling contexts, but tell me, who can control/conjure luck? That is why such gamblers will continue to focus on their expertise and I tell you that it works for them with the little I've seen. But for the casino systems, you can't just take luck for granted, or else, you will learn bitterly.

Don't just avoid losing, protect the reason you started: to have a good time Indeed, greed tends to lead to misery only, changing pleasure into financial ruin. Therefore, as much as possible when gambling, we must be able to restrain ourselves so that greed does not arise in us, the point of greed usually appears when we have succeeded in getting a win, indirectly the victory that is obtained can make us think that we can still get another win even a bigger amount so that someone who fails to control themselves will certainly be greedy will be followed by continuing to bet with the victory that has been obtained which is likely to be defeated and make the victory disappear.Remember, the house always has the edge. If you gamble, gamble smart. And never forget why you're there You are right, the dealer has an advantage, so whatever the circumstances, the player only has a small advantage.

We know how dangerous of greed when a gambler becomes greed and wants to get more winning from gambling. That can makes them lose more and more money but they will not see what happens to them. The problem is not knowing how to stop. In poker, you often see a recreational player, which you can tell he is, having incredible luck with the cards, in the short term, and what he does is move up a level. You can see this in land-based casinos or in small online casinos. Then they go up a level, and if they are lucky, they go up again, until a moment comes when their luck runs out and they lose everything. It is as if when they win, they think they are on a winning streak, instead of realizing that it is the opposite, that they have had too much luck and the best thing to do is to stop playing, cash out and leave. But greed gets the better of them and it backfires.

If only they felt enough with the potential profit they had gotten, maybe they could get enough money for themselves, but they prefer to risk getting more and instead lose it, and that's pretty stupid. I will not blame them as most games today especially the slots games are offering multipliers that reach unexpected heights. Greed comes mostly from those who experience a big win that they want to repeat but most of the time it won't happen again for a long time. Without risk, we cannot really win anything at all. You come to a gambling site to have some fun but in doing so you must risk your money to make it more enjoyable and that's still a risk. I think the problem is when there's no money budgeting where a gambler cannot control his gambling expenses anymore and he will just keep on depositing even though the money is meant for something more important. Now, that is stupid. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Kelward on August 17, 2024, 07:33:55 AM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. I won't call it greed either because gambling is based mainly on luck and the guy with his friend that won didn't know that the ticket will win. If the additional game that the guy added had won, his win could have been greater than his friend's own and we would've been praising him for being very brave not greedy. Gambling is risky and the more you're increasing your chances of winning more the riskier it gets, the guy's friend won that huge amount because of the high amount of matches on the ticket. It'll no doubt be painful to him for not winning because he added another match but if he gambled with the amount that he can afford to loose then he should move on. He has to console himself because if the game had played accordingly he'd be smiling so better luck to him next time Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Mr. Magkaisa on August 17, 2024, 09:42:46 AM - Greediness never really does anything good, so it really shouldn't be allowed to enter our personalities as gamblers. It's just that most of the crypto gambling communities can't avoid it. If it's me, I've experienced it once too, but I managed to stop myself.
So as long as we can control and discipline ourselves, let's do it and be responsible gamblers most of the time. Let's not let our emotions be implemented incorrectly, or else we will be controlled by them, which will eventually end up in defeat for sure.

Indeed the case with many gamblers, they think the amount is small and it would not matter but the accumulated losses over years of gambling can show the cumulative loss.

That's right, hardly ever do such gamblers keep track of how much they're betting and how much they're spending in total. Unfortunately, it's a quite common occurrence, especially for those just starting out. I was never in the position of having such minor amounts of money; I've happened to have $10–$20 on my account after a loss streak and decided to gamble them away, but not them being my last cash for the week or month. I've had acquaintances gamble away their last money until their next paycheck.Gambling who are keep on quitting should start charting their losses, it will motivate them to quit rapidly.

I think it is important to manage emotions and finances because in gambling you can win and lose. Of course it is not fun to see your friend win and you lose at that time. But what you have to know is if you lose today then you will win another day. So is what happened to your friend. I also can't call it greed. But I think it is arrogance and envy because he saw his friend get the advantage. In the end you will choose to gamble to show that you also win. I don't think I can call it having fun. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Fivestar4everMVP on August 17, 2024, 02:06:52 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. I think it is important to manage emotions and finances because in gambling you can win and lose. Of course it is not fun to see your friend win and you lose at that time. But what you have to know is if you lose today then you will win another day. So is what happened to your friend. I also can't call it greed. But I think it is arrogance and envy because he saw his friend get the advantage. In the end you will choose to gamble to show that you also win. I don't think I can call it having fun. Greed in a simple explanation or definition I would say is a lack of contentment, that is, a feeling that what you have is not enough and you need or deserve more. While Envy on the other hand is also known as jealousy, which is a person not being happy for what another has achieved, he or she wished it was him or her who achieved that, and you can feel some level of greed in there, and thus is why I said greed and envy work hand in hand. So, in the nutshell, be rest assured that where ever you find envy, you definitely will find greed as well, if two friend play gambling, and one win while the other lost, and the one who lost is not happy for his friend who won, that ought not to be and shows that that friend is a bad person, and should be avoided. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: EarnOnVictor on August 17, 2024, 02:33:28 PM -snip- Greed is bad but what transpires between these guys can't be entirely condemned, what if the risk won? That means more money and the other friend who won the N15m would have been hurt if it worked for his friend and a lot of questions and regret would have been running through his mind as to why he didn't take more risk as the friend risked it. That's human beings for you.What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Again, the person who can win as much as N15m is not without a high risk as well, the only difference is that he was lucky that his limited risk compared to that of his friend worked for him this time but the other friend was merely unfortunate. To avoid a situation like this, I often advise people to limit the number of permutations/accumulation they do while betting on sports as anything painful can happen, particularly if it is only a bad prediction that spoils the high number of won games. The most effective way to do this is to distribute the betting on 3-5 tickets depending on the number of games to bet. For instance, if you want to bet on 15 matches, you might do that on 4 tickets where you may bet 3 matches on the 1st ticket, 5-7 matches on the 2nd ticket, 9-12 matches on the 3rd ticket and whole 15 matches on the 4th ticket. If you are a good bettor, it's possible you win at least 2 of the tickets and it would have recovered your wagered amount for you in most cases instead of lumping it on a single ticket which is riskier.

Another thing related to emotions, yes, it should be able to be controlled, but I would say that there must be something that must be corrected first if you really don't want to experience any emotions at all, which is an understanding and awareness of risky gambling in the sense of realizing that losing is a very natural result in gambling. So there are two things, namely financial management and also self-acceptance regarding risk, where both of these things lead to risk management to minimize the possibility of losing large amounts of money and also to minimize the occurrence of significant emotions. In the case mentioned by the OP, I think it seems that the actions taken by the person were not only based on greed but the inability to accept the fact that his friend won while he lost, so maybe as you said that it was a jealous nature.

Emotional control is the main thing and it is difficult to control because if you have poor emotional control it usually becomes very chaotic in any case. We can be jealous, losing and winning is a common thing in a game, we cannot increase it, and maybe luck does not favor the same person on the same day, one must understand that so that he does not have more sadness because of his defeat and his friend's victory. But it does come with a bit of greed and overconfidence.

He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. I won't call it greed either because gambling is based mainly on luck and the guy with his friend that won didn't know that the ticket will win. If the additional game that the guy added had won, his win could have been greater than his friend's own and we would've been praising him for being very brave not greedy. Gambling is risky and the more you're increasing your chances of winning more the riskier it gets, the guy's friend won that huge amount because of the high amount of matches on the ticket. It'll no doubt be painful to him for not winning because he added another match but if he gambled with the amount that he can afford to loose then he should move on. He has to console himself because if the game had played accordingly he'd be smiling so better luck to him next time The twist is that winning and losing are two sides of the same coin now. Every game imparts knowledge. It's about learning, not about hunting the next high Just plain life is a gamble. You might throw the dice or play it safe. Still, remember the house always has an edge. Thus, bet wisely, sensibly, and never forget; all of these are aspects of the game Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: pawanjain on August 17, 2024, 03:31:44 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Greed has always been an enemy in gambling. Many people have lost almost entire savings in gambling due to their greed. People should acknowledge the fact that gambling, most of the times if not almost is designed for people to lose money. We should be able to control our greed and only then we will be able to play gambling for entertainment and not for money.

This is not greed from my own point of view because I have seen people that are given booking codes to place a bet but when they get to the gambling office and the games are being displayed on the screen with the options that are being selected what they do is to go through the selection to see if there is any game they feel will go in contrary from the selected options so i feel they just want to be smart but end up becoming foolish because since gambling is about luck, a bet you have a contrary opinion about can even be the one that will end up winning instead of the one that is being done with a lot of scrutiny. This is just to say that being too smart in gambling can lead to losses because you will always be going in contrary with your initial predictions and that of others, sometimes even if you don't agree about an option given to a particular event by you or another gambler, just place the bet like that and see the end results instead of wanting to be smart that you can predict better and end up missing your luck and opportunity. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: I_Anime on August 17, 2024, 04:55:47 PM - Greediness never really does anything good, so it really shouldn't be allowed to enter our personalities as gamblers. It's just that most of the crypto gambling communities can't avoid it. If it's me, I've experienced it once too, but I managed to stop myself. So as long as we can control and discipline ourselves, let's do it and be responsible gamblers most of the time. Let's not let our emotions be implemented incorrectly, or else we will be controlled by them, which will eventually end up in defeat for sure. You know greed is among our emotions and you know we humans are emotional being . So we can just stop the greedy urge but we can actually control that urge like knowing when to stop , and always keep to our budget . Because we all have budget of the amount money we can spend but most time most folks usually go beyond that balance due to and stuff, especially when they are losing , that`s when they usually chase after losses . And endup losing more than they have already.

Therefore, if you are really that playing gambling and you do make yourself that being too greedy then expect that you would really be ending up on committing tons of mistakes and errors specially into the actions that you are making which does really involves money and this is something that will really be that a huge challenge for you specially on trying out to control it. If you would really be having that kind of discipline and moderation then it wont really be that much of an issue. When playing gambling then you should really be that be at least having that kind of idea on what are the things that you've been doing. Making up some decisions which is obviously that could really be worsen up the situation then it would really be that advantageous if you are really that wary on what are those probable things to happen. Its never been that advisable on having such thing but if this one turns out that you have already set those limits and tolerance then it will really be having no issues or places at all. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: ndutndut on August 17, 2024, 05:45:30 PM So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? This often happens to me. :D I also sometimes feel annoyed, After giving input or predictions to friends about which team to choose for betting but I myself do not win. For example, in soccer betting, I predict 8 matches and I place all bets because if I win the payout will definitely be big, but my friend sorts the choices I give into only 7 matches. After all the matches are finished he wins, I don't.That's right. Greed is a disease in gambling, especially greed to win big even though by predicting only a few teams we can win the bet. However, if there is a greedy attitude, it will actually make our bets that should have been won disappear.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: nara1892 on August 17, 2024, 07:14:43 PM When someone makes such radical decisions , the game is very dangerous, dangerous in the sense that they can lose a lot of money and risk their entire capital. I wouldn't do it , At one time when I was a novice, I did, but at this point I don't do Something like that, because I evaluate all the consequences. For me, the biggest consequence of letting yourself be carried away by greed and losing everything is that the person will begin a direct path to Addiction. If all the capital for gambling then believe me he bankruptcy will come quickly, when he is bankrupt he will regret being a poor person who has no money anymore, well then we should not take radical action in gambling if this is considered fun then it is impossible for all capital to be spent in gambling games. I think maybe most of us have experienced the same scenario when we were beginners, we can't lie that getting free money with just a little effort is a very pleasant situation, but actually if you are a little careless then it can be a trap that will lead you to an impulsive approach in the end. Regret will always come at the end and is something that someone will definitely feel, so that means even though it may now be difficult for us to give advice to addicted gamblers, maybe in the end regret will slap them. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Accardo on August 17, 2024, 09:10:18 PM Everyone has greed in them but many know how to control their urge of greed so that they won't become a victim in future. As gamblers we are letting greed to be a part of us makes it hard for us to win because when emotions is involved greed will be the next thing, it's either we decide to chase losses or increase our stakes. However I think if we won't to get rid of more losses, we better stop gambling when we have any loss, although we might have some luck to win back the money but that's how greed starts, the moment we continue to think of winning back what we lost we should think what if we don't. The thoughts of other player's wins stimulates greed. Wondering about other players' rewards takes away good decisions off a gambler's mind. And increases his greediness. Gamblers need to be themselves, always. It's failure, competing with ourselves to win like somebody else.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Lida93 on August 18, 2024, 05:32:21 AM . May not actually be an act of greed as you may be considering it to be. Don't forget that every gambler has their targets in mind whenever making predictions to bet on sports games, and moreover nobody had known if the first predictions amounting to 15milliin was going to play. What am thinking here is that the dude tried to increase his chances peradventure the games played we wouldn't be calling it as an act of greed like you're saying now but it would have been a different story altogether.What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Since his friend won the 15 million by staking in the games without altering it, he can still share a portion to the predictor of the games with double as his friend. It's a win-win case and there's nothing anyone can do about it since gambling is a world of uncertainty we just keep trying out ways to make profit and it's either you lose or win while trying. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: ethereumhunter on August 18, 2024, 06:00:12 AM The problem is not knowing how to stop. In poker, you often see a recreational player, which you can tell he is, having incredible luck with the cards, in the short term, and what he does is move up a level. You can see this in land-based casinos or in small online casinos. Then they go up a level, and if they are lucky, they go up again, until a moment comes when their luck runs out and they lose everything. Many gamblers doesn't know when they must stop from playing gambling and that makes them lose much money. When our greed increases, we will forget about everything including our limitation and makes us lose more and more money. We will not thinks that playing gambling is for recreation or have fun but we will thinks that playing gambling is for winning the money. It is as if when they win, they think they are on a winning streak, instead of realizing that it is the opposite, that they have had too much luck and the best thing to do is to stop playing, cash out and leave. But greed gets the better of them and it backfires. Greed will go ups and downs so we must know how to control ourselves and prevents the greed becomes big. That is why we must learn many things to control ourselves so we can enjoy playing gambling and will not spends much money. When we can win from gambling, we don't have to thinks about winning more money instead just thinks to stops from playing gambling and save our win money. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: gabbie2010 on August 18, 2024, 06:39:52 AM The guy that predicted the winning games was too ambitious and thinks he has the authority and magic wand over bookies not minding that gambling is very risky and a game of luck, he gave out a winning ticket instead of sticking with it and play it accordingly unfortunately overconfidence and too ambitious costed him a whooping 15 million naira, the lost would serve as a big lesson to him and in the future I hope he wouldn't repeat such a mistake again although this type of opportunity of winning massive is very rare it's just like hitting a jackpot thus guy that costly mistake would continue to hunt him unless he wins another massive or huge win

But however, it I think we are still on the same page since am not literally saying that greed is completely ok if only you gat my points correctly, yes gambling is not just about winning only there could be losses too, as to this regards if one can maximize opportunities without struggling to achieve it or regret ever taking such action there is nothing absolutely wrong with that, what the guy would have done is to bet the one he gave his friend same way before adding extra game to avoid regrets but however two things are always involved which is either winning or Lossing.

It seems to me that gambling is precisely about possible addiction, when a player cannot control his desire to win. And I have always attributed greed to simply a human character trait, when a person can be too greedy either to himself or to others, but I do not know how this can be attributed to gambling. Unless in the case when you start winning, and want to make even more bets, and for a larger amount in the hope that the winnings will continue.Greed will go ups and downs so we must know how to control ourselves and prevents the greed becomes big. That is why we must learn many things to control ourselves so we can enjoy playing gambling and will not spends much money.

He will be very careful next time when he come across such opportunity again because it's painful to hear that in the gambling, which many gamblers have taken a lesson for such mistakes in the past. To be greed in gambling is dangerous to gamblers, and it can make some gamblers to lost a lot of money in gambling because they failed to ignore the greed in the gambling. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: DaNNy001 on August 18, 2024, 08:23:29 PM I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with. Greed is simply not being satisfied with what you have even if it's more than enough, I'll consider it to be greed even though he staked what he could afford to lose but the total games combined were just too much, I'm not saying that less games on a multiple bet gives you an assurance of winning but the chances of winning are quite higher compared to when you combine too many games, he was probably playing for fun but making more selections was a greedy move Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Orpichukwu on August 18, 2024, 09:09:11 PM It is only greed that made his friends to add more games in order to have more potential winning than the one he gave his friend, similar case has happened to me and my friend thou he added more money to the money I bet the game that I gave him so that he could win more than me, but yeah the game played and he had more potential winning than me and he willingly gave me some money from his winning as a gift for given him game that played out, there is nothing absolutely wrong with being greedy but can e very bad when it is overly done. Sometimes it might not also be greed; it could also be that after the person made the prediction, he remembered a few games or came across games that he thought were supposed not to be included on his slip, and instead of making a brand new bet, he made the mistake of including the whole bet together, resulting in the reason why he lost his own bet and why the person the person who gave the first booking won his own. I don't entirely consider it greed; it could also be greed; it could also be what I pointed out in my first few lines.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Hamphser on August 18, 2024, 09:39:40 PM Many gamblers doesn't know when they must stop from playing gambling and that makes them lose much money.

Most will just regret after they lost money after their big win. They will tell themselves, what if they have separated some before betting it all in? Well, you will regret at the end of your screw up. It is never in the beginning, right? So before you subject yourself in that kind of emotion, better think of your actions and maybe be conservative with your estimates. If you want some assurance, separate some of those winnings as early as you can. Try outsmarting yourself.

Unless in the case when you start winning, and want to make even more bets, and for a larger amount in the hope that the winnings will continue. Greed is attributed to gambling because of its monetary returns. Most gamblers wouldn't spend lots of time in a casino if they weren't greedy to make money. Greediness is also seen in a gambling session with little wins, but the player hopes to win big money. The player won't be concerned about his current results. His winning goals will rule his thoughts. At this level of greediness, the player will lose more money.

Yes, that is connected for me because when you greed, you will not know your limits and will not stops from playing gambling.

If you can not stops yourself from playing gambling, it is just a matter of time for you to see you gets deeper in gambling which can makes you addicted to gambling. You will not realizes about that because you have your greed and want to wins more. When you have a hope to wins more from gambling without thinks that gambling is not a place that can gives you the money, you will not stops from keep trying to wins.

We must be lucky to hit a Jackpot or to get a massive win, and the odds of getting two of them in the same run are low as hell, i don't say it never happens, but it happens 1/100 times. I remember once a guy hit an x999 back-to-back on Plinko, and i personally hit an x9,900 two times in less than 3 minutes. so, it can happen but it isn't easy at all.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Lidger on August 20, 2024, 03:33:49 PM Greed is our biggest enemy in gambling so we have to control this greed. The person you mentioned most likely missed out on such a huge money opportunity due to excessive greed. He who misses this opportunity will definitely not stop, he will try harder to win this huge amount of money later it will be seen that these extra things are bringing him bad things. Whether the bet is small or large, there should be no excessive greed. Gamblers are fine as long as they are satisfied with a small profit but when they get overly greedy and have a strong desire to get more, the results will go against them. If it is the case that I gambled $100 and earned another $100 by gambling $100 in the first state. But due to my extra greed I combined my capital and profit and gambled again but later the result went against me but I lost my capital and lost my profit.
We can never be overly greedy. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: virasog on August 20, 2024, 03:42:29 PM Greed. Your tummy is burning with fire; the itching you cannot scratch is a symptom. For better or worse, this drives us. And let's face it, without some greed, we would all be eating on roots in a cave. Greed is a tool, not a master. Certainly, gambling is a greedy game. Still, the advantages go beyond mere randomness. Their bankroll is managed; they understand the odds. They are thinking, computing, constantly one step ahead For those gamblers who are protecting their bankrolls by balanced gambling, they are protected from greed too. Everyone knows about greediness by very few know how to control the greed. The experienced ones may do it automatically or in their instcit, but for others we need tools that can prevent us from greediness.

The best players control their greed, not let it control them. They know the real win is mind control, not money On the other hand, I see that you have said all the situations that are very likely to make a gambler fall into the following greed also with scenarios based on facts, and maybe I will conclude a little and simply where the key to being able to avoid various potentially dangerous actions such as greed is that a gambler must have a correct understanding of what and how gambling really is, especially from the negative side. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: hahay on August 20, 2024, 04:59:03 PM I have seen cases like this a lot of times, not with booking bets, but on casinos in general. People who win big and then lose it all and more. We must be lucky to hit a Jackpot or to get a massive win, and the odds of getting two of them in the same run are low as hell, i don't say it never happens, but it happens 1/100 times. I remember once a guy hit an x999 back-to-back on Plinko, and i personally hit an x9,900 two times in less than 3 minutes. so, it can happen but it isn't easy at all. Now i gamble with another mind, i walk away after a big win, and that's the right way to end with profit. That is the good way of course, leaving when you have made a profit. Because when you get a profit, it is very possible that you will think that it will be a good moment for you to continue betting. But after all, cases like this happen at least often, and those who continue betting when they have made big profits, they will also lose and lose everything. Because at moments like that you can act blindly and/or no longer have a good strategy, because you have a lot of money in your balance. Therefore, getting a big win and also experiencing a losing streak is the time for the gambler to stop or leave. After all, betting can also be done on other occasions and you are not required to continue betting throughout the day. So yes, having control like that is basically important, of course to minimize losses in gambling because if we have lost a lot, it will also make it difficult for us to control our emotions because we have a plan to retrieve or get back what we have lost. :( Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Fredomago on August 20, 2024, 07:09:36 PM Greed is our biggest enemy in gambling so we have to control this greed. The person you mentioned most likely missed out on such a huge money opportunity due to excessive greed. He who misses this opportunity will definitely not stop, he will try harder to win this huge amount of money later it will be seen that these extra things are bringing him bad things. Whether the bet is small or large, there should be no excessive greed. Gamblers are fine as long as they are satisfied with a small profit but when they get overly greedy and have a strong desire to get more, the results will go against them. If it is the case that I gambled $100 and earned another $100 by gambling $100 in the first state. But due to my extra greed I combined my capital and profit and gambled again but later the result went against me but I lost my capital and lost my profit. We can never be overly greedy. Control by setting up your limitation, it's really a good practice if you want to stay away from your own greed, though we all know that when you are already feeling the intensity and you think that winning streaks will continue to prosper your bets then you might be out of control and greed will dominates you, on this kind of situation greed is being produced of your desire, which you can only prevent if you setup and practice to make that hard stop when you already reached your target, either you won or you lose its better to accept your fate to avoid losing more.

Greed is never been good specially if its really that on excessive manner. Human beings are naturally greedy but we do know that everything which is really that too much will really be always bad. It would really be that normal that there would really be those times that you would be able to have that kind of extreme greed. Some people do able to control it out but majority wouldnt really be able on doing so. This is why we do see those people who do able to mess up their lives because of too much gambling and there are those people who are really that sitting just fine just because they've been able to control themselves on the moment that they are on the verge of too much greed. Control and moderation would really be he key but not all would really be good on this one. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Jody.Drummer on August 21, 2024, 03:26:31 AM One of the things that I've learned over the years is that some people are different. but it seems impossible for someone to come to a casino but not gamble, surely when they come to a casino they will most likely bet because that is the main thing in a casino that many visitors do too. besides that maybe when they have made a bet they can go home or stay quiet first to see other people's gambling or enjoy the atmosphere there.And that means that some people will be always gambling at the casino, others will be always drinking at the bar.... But there are also other people at the library, at home, riding their cars, bicycles, etc. Not everyone ends up in the same area that we are living. if we talk about the differences of all people it is certainly true, it is impossible for them to be in one place at the same time. because besides having our own activities we also have other things like pleasure or work. but the similarity is that everyone certainly has greed in different things, not only in gambling which is greedy about money. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: betswift on August 21, 2024, 06:53:35 AM Greed. Your tummy is burning with fire; the itching you cannot scratch is a symptom. For better or worse, this drives us. And let's face it, without some greed, we would all be eating on roots in a cave. Greed is a tool, not a master. Certainly, gambling is a greedy game. Still, the advantages go beyond mere randomness. Their bankroll is managed; they understand the odds. They are thinking, computing, constantly one step ahead For those gamblers who are protecting their bankrolls by balanced gambling, they are protected from greed too. Everyone knows about greediness by very few know how to control the greed. The experienced ones may do it automatically or in their instcit, but for others we need tools that can prevent us from greediness. The most common but effective tools that will save you from big losses could be:- >Money Management >Risk Management >Portfolio Management Three turtles on which a responsible gambler should stand ;D Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Fredomago on August 21, 2024, 06:59:24 AM This is why we do see those people who do able to mess up their lives because of too much gambling and there are those people who are really that sitting just fine just because they've been able to control themselves on the moment that they are on the verge of too much greed.

The key factor in preventing getting addicted and lose a lot of money, it's your decision making as well but more important is how you control everything, from the beginning till you end up your session, it's important that you know how to work with your limitation and how will you perform and execute your strategy, the more you understand the potential the better view and decision that you can take, you need to pratice and not to put your guard down and allow greed to beat your system.

Controlling the greed is the thing that we must do when playing gambling especially if we can win for some money. Most gamblers will attract to continue playing gambling because they thinks that their lucky comes and they can win in the next rounds. But that will not always happen so they must have to control and hold themselves from continuing to playing gambling. No doubt that winning in the gambling games gives us a happy moment but we must know that we will still difficult to win in the next rounds. So we don't have to chase more winning instead just stops from playing gambling to prevents the lose because there is no guarantee that we can win in the next rounds or gambling games. We still have another time to return to the casino and playing gambling again so we don't have to keep playing gambling when we already win.

I think that very little is due to wanting money and more money, but rather a gap opened by other things... Family problems, relationship problems, self-confidence problems... which in the end are deposited in the form of greed, whether through gambling, food or any type of compulsion.

This means that awareness of risk must be prioritized, because that way it is less likely for someone to get caught up in emotions that can make their gambling uncontrollable. Therefore, it is highly recommended for a gambler to see what and how gambling really is from the start they come, or what is meant is make sure that you are really able to bear all the consequences of the risk before you get involved in the activity, and the biggest mistake made by gamblers is that they are too obsessed with winning from the start so that it obscures their view of the consequences of the risks that are part.

Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: pawanjain on August 21, 2024, 03:30:10 PM With how the minds of the people that live in the world today is programmed, it has become a very common practise that anything or activity that involves the possibility of one making money, such activity can easily be abuse, I used the word "abuse" here because gambling is generally abused this days if we were to go by the real purpose of gambling, and this we all should know that it's a recreational form of entertainment, but gamblers of today have completely forgotten about the entertainment side of gambling, every one is out here to make money, and I do not want to say that this is unfortunate because at the end of the day, there are still a very few lucky ones who have made money from gambling, and this have changed their life completely, so for this group of persons, gambling is a savior, life saver or anything good we can think of. We've gone past when people gamble for entertainment alone, every body wants to make some money, what we should be preaching now is, people should learn to only stake what they can afford to lose, for not adhereing to this rule is usually the beginning of almost all gambling problems. That is undoubtedly true and it's good that there are people like you who understand this fact and convey the message to others. The fact that gambling creates an illusion of winning money is the reason why many people fall for this trap. The only thing we can do is to raise awareness that gambling is not a method to earn money but to have fun losing money. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: LUCKMCFLY on August 21, 2024, 05:02:19 PM On the other hand, I see that it seems that you are one of the gamblers who are able to make experience a lesson in the sense of not making the same mistakes as various impulsive actions including greed, and I am sure that all gamblers can definitely change their approach for the better when they are able to use their common sense well. That's what it's all about, if we don't learn from our bad experiences, I think we will never learn and it's obvious that anyone who has a bad experience should learn or want to learn so they don't go through the same events, since it's not bad at all, but to learn you have to have discipline, the discipline to know how much money you can spend and be willing to lose and Secondly be prepared to make the withdrawal at the right time, the rest you can't do Anything. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Webetcoins on August 21, 2024, 05:41:22 PM I won't call it greed either because gambling is based mainly on luck and the guy with his friend that won didn't know that the ticket will win. If the additional game that the guy added had won, his win could have been greater than his friend's own and we would've been praising him for being very brave not greedy. Gambling is risky and the more you're increasing your chances of winning more the riskier it gets, the guy's friend won that huge amount because of the high amount of matches on the ticket. It'll no doubt be painful to him for not winning because he added another match but if he gambled with the amount that he can afford to loose then he should move on. He has to console himself because if the game had played accordingly he'd be smiling so better luck to him next time That is not the point but it's about the guy who added more games and that makes his luck percentage decline. On this scenario, I can say that it was greed because if not, then he will only stick to what is advised to him by his friend and he could have ended as a winner too and now enjoying his profits. That is only one example of greed but it can still come in many forms and in different shapes or sizes.Even though let say the guy uses a money that he can afford to lose, the tragic scenario that happened to him can cause him a depression and disappointment which can also trigger a greed to play again and try to win even only the amount that his friend have won but as they say; "The opportunity may only knock once" and he will be having a hard time now to repeat the same scenario. That should teach him a valuable lesson and he will try to be more contented next time, just like us when we are still starting, or even on those times that we already gained enough experience. Gambling is mainly based on luck but isn't that makes people to become more greedy at it? I mean because they don't know if the big win is already coming or not and then the chance of them to show up is still less, so this makes people to spend more money in the game.

Correct, there are emotions that adding up whether you are winning or losing with your sessions, things that you needed to control in order not to allow greed to manipulate inside you, not just on the winning side but also with the losing side as you might be more aggressive adding more loads with your bets to easily recover your loses and trying to win some additional, hoping that luck will be at your side in your next session and win against the house.

I saw some of my friends just go into the same abyss when they lost at gambling, they were increasingly playing with their psychology to keep depositing and depositing in the hope that big wins would arrive.

Even though they are seen as good people but must have a greedy side but the difference is that there are people who are indeed able to control their greed and there are also those who cannot control it well, in cases that often occur in gambling people tend not to be able to control their greed well and this is what makes negative cases continue to exist in gambling. This feeling of dissatisfaction or greed tends to only make someone forget about the limits, with gambling where the victory is uncertain of course when someone has won and still wants to win it is greedy but in reality the host will always win this can make them lose the victory that has been obtained as a result this greed triggers their emotions and makes things worse.

In addition, considering all decisions is also one of the things that must be done by all gamblers, so they will be able to see what is indeed worth doing and must be avoided in order to prevent bad things from happening at the end of the betting session. Most gamblers who feel the bad impacts and bitter experiences are those who always act rashly and carelessly, they do not think about the cause and effect in the long term of all their own decisions. This is an attitude that all gamblers really need to pay attention to if they want to stay on the right track and still have control over themselves.

For that same reason is that we must be smart when playing, make a good plan, and that plan what does it include? First the money willing to spend or lose, and what else does it include? At the time of establishing how much money we are going to start to withdraw if everything goes well, I am very basic, that if the minimum to withdraw is 10usd then when I reach that moment I withdraw that money, it does not matter how long it takes me to achieve it, it is the first thing I will do, in the case of losing the money you must have the discipline not to deposit more or try more, because there the plan is lost and control of absolutely everything is lost, the good thing about this is that emotions and impulses can be carried away, because the limit is the money we are willing to lose.Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: klidex on August 23, 2024, 02:13:44 AM The desire to win bigger sometimes appears in the minds of greedy gamblers, even though the more they want bigger profits, the greater the risk of losing, like the OP story, if only he gambled with the same prediction as his friend, he would get the same win and not experience the pain of seeing his friend win with his prediction, if I were that person, I would really regret the action.
However, this can also be a lesson if he wants to gamble again, he must be careful not to let this happen again because he is too greedy.

A lesson indeed and needed to address correctly as if you misinterpret your luck you might follow and repeat that same mistake again, just keep the focus and try to win with the amount that you acheive I mean set the target and stick on it so you can end your session with a smile, enjoying the game and winning some will be an additional bonus instead of trying or aiming for more and let greed manipulate you then lose everything.

However, this can also be a lesson if he wants to gamble again, he must be careful not to let this happen again because he is too greedy. In fact, the whole story on the first page is quite predictable. Many people, when they get rich, stop communicating with their friends. Even those they knew very well. And I will not justify them, I will say that they are full-fledged traitors to friendship. You cannot change your social circle because of a change in your economic status. This is wrong and mean. Therefore, in casinos and betting, you must not let money ruin your friendship.

Sincerely, I never saw this your way and will never judge the guy despite the loss. The other friend who won the bet could have lost as well judging by the huge amount of money won, and this can only mean that they both took high risk, only that the risk of the person who lost was more. But this thread would have had another twist if the one who took more risk was the one who won more, that is when you would see the topic and subsequent posts reading "It's cowardice not to take the risk."However, this can also be a lesson if he wants to gamble again, he must be careful not to let this happen again because he is too greedy. For this, I will blame no one, perhaps the time was not his lucky day.

This happens to greedy and, what is also important, inexperienced players much more often. After all, an inexperienced player often wants to try his luck at the moment when an experienced player understands that the next games will only make his balance worse, because there is a limit to everything. And greed is a good friend of stupidity and they work great together.However, this can also be a lesson if he wants to gamble again, he must be careful not to let this happen again because he is too greedy.

At the end people need to recognize that no matter what they do, they cannot really control what it may happen, so while it is regrettable that both gamblers could not get such a win, at the same time it was impossible to predict the outcome will happen in that exact same way, so there is really not much to learn other than to believe in our own predictions and follow them through, because if we do not do it we may experience the same regret this gambler is probably experiencing.However, this can also be a lesson if he wants to gamble again, he must be careful not to let this happen again because he is too greedy. Title: Re: Consequences of greed Post by: Makus on August 29, 2024, 07:02:20 PM Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here. Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area. How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games. But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount). What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose? Well for the predictor of the gambling tickets, I'll say he messed up, though you cannot always tell when you'll hit the jackpot but the minimum stake on the original ticket before editing would have gone a long way for him. Sometimes fixing your eyes on small wins is better than having greed that might end the whole bet to loss. Anyway it would be a nice thing if his fried who won the bet, compensated him for making the prediction. Gambling is a game were you can never make a 100% accurate prediction all the time, there are time where bad things happen but you can never know all or apply all your past experience to your new dealings because, the tables might turn the other way around.

On the moment that you've been dealing on something that involves money then those emotions cant really be that be avoided out. Therefore, self control would really be that something relevant or really that important on the moment that you do make out such dealing. Be careful on whatever decisions you would be making because every bad decisions be made up will really be having a significant effect but of course risks management would be that considered too.

As you said that the conclusion is that there is not much we can do because in the end the problem of victory always depends on luck, and also understand that in gambling something that works for others does not mean it will work for us too, luck does not depend on anything, and I am sure that if you know and understand the concept of luck then regret should not happen to you when you experience defeat or when you do not execute a bet that ultimately results in victory. |
