So, I recently had this funny experience while playing a casino game a friend recommended  and I decided to deposit some funds into the game. Second spin boom! I won a good amount. I was so happy, already planning my victory dance and thinking about cashing out immediately.
But then, this tiny voice in my head whispered, What if you spin again? I mean, if you won this much with just two spin, imagine how much more you could win. And like a true over optimistic person that I am, I listened.
Spin after spin, I watched my winnings going down. Before I knew it, not only was my prize money gone, but the money I deposited also disappearing. And just when I was about to hit rock bottom, my very last spin miraculously won me a tiny token again. At that point, it felt like the universe was patting me on the shoulder, saying, Here, take this and stop fooling yourself 🤣

That little win was the slap my brain needed to reset. I immediately told myself to stop, Log out now before you start selling properties to fund the next spin
The funny thing is, I usually pride myself on being super calculative when it comes to gambling. I know when to stop, but that day? That day, I didn’t know what possessed me. Maybe it was the game hypnotizing me. Who knows?
One thing I’ve realized, though, is that casino games have this sneaky way of convincing you to continue spinning"just one more time." I can’t be the only one who’s fallen for that trap, right?

So, what's your experience with casino games? Do they whisper sweet things into your ear too, or is it just me?

I know that casino games are addictive and they can play bad games to our brain dopamine that we emit when gambling. When you win it becomes even more obvious as you think since I won one time I will keep winning and it is exactly here that we are deceiving ourselves as the results in the long run are totally not what we expect to be. It is good for you that you can do calculation of what is going on you can take measures to counter bad loses. Personally I have completely quit when I have hit 5 consecutive super bonus buys all lost.

One thing that I have observed as a gambler, if you have planned to use 10 minutes for a sessions with $10. The moment that your first game gives you a good profit, you will find it difficult to close your session, because you didn't plan to end it so quick. This is the mistake that most gamblers do.

If your first game brings good luck to you, it's better that you close the session and walk away. Don't believe that you will win more if you continue because you feel like winning more. I am a victim of this.

What really happened was you got lucky and won more than you ever expected from just 2 spins and assuming it's first time happening you didn't know what to do and went with the flow, it's not hypnotize or possession but just the obsession of not letting go the past. ;D

Casino games are designed to be addictive so even if you keep betting again and again you will not be bored to an extent.

This is not a mystical thing like someone “whispering” but the feeling that your winnings are never enough because of the desire for more, sometimes there is always a thought that if in the next round then increase the bet then the winnings can be more than before, then thinking like this is what will lose a lot of money where the previous winnings will run out again.

If this matter in the slot game is common, I have experienced several times when I have won it should be cashing out instead of playing something else but in the end I lost all of it.

I think many of us have already faced a very similar situation you did, especially when we were newbies in gambling matters. As everything is pretty new, the excitement felt is much more intense than the excitement felt by an experienced gambler. We tend to create fantasies and illusions in our minds, overestimating our expectations regards gambling.

It's not unusual to think: I just have to place more two or three bets in order to acquire enough money to purchase an accessory or gadget I have been dreaming about. Or even to think about long term plans based on gambling income, like saving money for a new vehicle or trip.

Unfortunatelly, few moments later reality knocks the door and we understand the hard way that it's not how gambling works for real... Worst case is when the gambler doesn't want to accept reality and continue insisting on further mistakes.

Congrats on your second win, even though you were not lucky to make your withdrawal on the first winning. However, this a lesson to you next time you don't have to follow such thoughts because that's not a good one, it's a greedy thought and if you continue to listen to it you will continue losing. Have experienced such things in casinos and sports games and have learned my lesson and trying my best not to listen to it. Imo the reasons you did stop is because you have spend a lot of time while gambling and you felt tired that's why you stoped immidiatly after winning the second one.

Because they are not satisfied with the luck and winnings they get so they think if they continue they will win again... especially there is always an assumption that playing at a new casino and a new account, casinos usually give winnings at the beginning... I think you've heard this assumption right? Then that's what's addictive.

So indeed casino games are never boring at the same time you lose thousands of dollars in 1 session still this will never get bored, even they want to increase the deposit again to continue the game.

This is not hypnosis but you allow yourself with your soul to drift away in the hope in gambling so that the unconsciousness is present as if to keep asking for you to play and win a large number of victories as time goes by, meaning that your feelings of the hope of victory and pleasure in gambling make you feel comfortable and want to stay there to pursue the possibility, and the world is dangerous when you are not aware of your own choices and restrictions in gambling, make sure that you have a limit that can make yourself aware in terms of time and money so as not to be too sleepy deep The game of the game in gambling.

I think a lack of discipline also played a role. I wasn’t disciplined at that point. Henceforth, I would advise everyone to set rules and stick to them whenever playing any of these games. After setting those rules, make sure you abide by them, as only disciplined people can follow rules. Life is full of lessons; we learn every day

I come from recently quitting gambling completely, one exact week since I have not gambled at all and the reason as I said in my previous reply was because of hitting a huge streak of bad luck. I know that before I also had rules but very few people as you said are able to abide by them and most likely most of us are not, I am the living example that I have broken that rule as many times as I was enraged by gambling consecutive lost games. Well for me this was an eye opener to not gamble as gambling does not provide a single benefit to an individual except in very rare cases so better to stay away from it and live in peace. It was that huge amount of extreme bad luck that made me go into this decision and trust me going to stick to it forever, no one and no words can describe my spiritual status at that time when I lost 5 consecutive super bonus buys in Pragmatic Play provider.

The casino has nothing to do with your impulses. You make the choice on whether to gamble, you make the choice on what to gamble on, and you make the choice on whether to continue gambling if you hit a win. The only thing the casino does is offer the games and allow you to play. You just need to show some impulse control if you decide to go gamble somewhere and set limits, you'll be fine if you do.

Almost everyone have had the same experience not just in gambling but in other endeavors. There will always be that inner whisper to take some risk no matter the consequence. I don't think it is by any means hypnotism but an inner drive to make some decision or take some level of risk. In such cases, it is better to gamble within your risk or financial level because losing might not be a palatable experience. I have experienced the same situation in gambling several times and sometimes I might go home happy other times disappointed wishing I hadn't taken such a risk.

What you have described is a very common behavior among gamblers. That’s exactly how an addiction begins too. There are certain weaknesses which most people share. As you guessed the most common ones are pride and greed.

If you win, greed kicks in. Then you want to win even more because why not? You are a winner.

If you lose, your pride comes into the scene. Because you are the special one. You can’t lose. You gotta make up for your losses.

Either way you play more and that’s exactly what the casino wants. Good job. Keep playing.  ;D

It's your emotions that played against you my friend, and yes, we have experienced that many times in our gambling journey. And it's very hard to fight that demon inside ourselves when it is telling us something, to play again and again until we are out of control and then all the winnings are lost again. And we really don't know what really happened to you that time.

There were one story that I like to share, this friend of mine, I know that he is a gambler, but not that addicted. But one afternoon, he asked me to come into his house. Then in the middle of our conversation, he suddenly burst into tears and telling me that he has lost a money that is supposed to be reserved on something. He said that he was not able to control himself as it someone is telling him to continue playing, and so he did. He continue to play until he lost everything, as in everything. So he did the walk of shame. But the good thing is after that he didn't gamble anymore as he learn his mistakes. Obviously, for us it's very hard, but at least the next time, maybe, just maybe we will stop and log-off or withdraw the money right away.

I am not sure if you hear yourself, and how exactly are you fooling yourself. This doesn't sound anything big, and it's not like you are losing your house, and you can brush it off with a humor. But seeing yourself as " super calculative", sounds like a mental evasive maneuver, shifting blame to slot machine hypnosis, for not acting like you see yourself.

Imho we all make mistakes, and it's healthy to just admit that you might not be super calculative, when given the right circumstances.
And that you are just as susceptible as other people, because you are a human like everyone else, doing mistakes like humans sometimes do.

Imho it's great that you can eventually pull yourself out, and not getting too hooked in, but realizing that you aren't acting like you have planned, is something you shouldn't take too lightly.
If you would have won bigger amount, i am pretty sure that you wouldn't say that slot machine hypnotized you, but that you followed your insticts.
That would be fooling of yourself and could have triggered addiction. And these reward mechanics are something we need to keep ourselves aware of.

The fact that you can still quit gambling while in loss is a skill and something should treasure. It's a skill you can't buy with money.

First know that greed just has a fast influence on your decision-making because if you are not greedy you should know that spinning games are luck-based games and so if you manage to win in the first spin, what guarantee do you have that you win the second spin when you know that you are not winning based on skills but luck.

At the time you forget this truth, that point you begin drifting into losses and more losses, next time take whatever lock presents to you in the first attempt and then move on.

Definitely not your guardian angel; he will not lead you astray; its just your greed taking a voice because he discovered a way for you to make money in a very easy way, and this same greed will lead you to want for more until you lose all of it and you start to chase your losses because your greed tells you that you can.
Many of us undergo on this, call it being hypnotize or a voice; its actually your greed taking a voice, and the only way to be safe is to shut it out and let the voice of reason emerge.

It is a matter of fact casinos earn money with the volume of bets and the amount of money put at stake by every single user on their platform, so it is not a surprise casino games are specially designed to tickle that part within our brain which incite us to continue to gamble and fill us with thrill and dopamine.
What you experienced yourself that day is what millions of gamblers experience and they forget that the higher the number of spins, the higher is also the chance for all that money to goes back to the house.

Actually, it reminds me a story of something which happened to a friend of mine. she was invited to a casino and she was given a welcome bonus, for being the first time he participated there, thanks to her welcome bonus and some roulette spins she managed to pocket a good amount of money when compared to her initial deposit. Weirdly enough, the manager of the casino started to praise her good luck and invited her to continue to gamble more, since there were surely more money waiting for her and would be foolish to squander her good luck. Though, she did not fall for it and walked away with the money he had won as soon as the manager deviated his attention from her.  :P

This is the type of experience where some will tag this to be the casino playing with the player, surprising you with good winnings as welcoming to the new game, but it's not. That's just you being lucky, which your greed almost pushed you to losing everything that you won.

The first rule of the game I have learnt the hard way is never start accommodating that what-if thought; it is misleading; it will only end up leading you to lose all that you have luckily won from greed, which is what triggers such thought.

And this is where you made your mistake. And this is where greed gets in your mind and when greed comes into your mind and you cannot control it, then you assume that you will face loss every time.
And besides, we must not forget that once we win at gambling, we will win every time. We must remember that the winning ratio in gambling is less than 0.01%..
And that's why I always say that in the case of gambling, we should not only set a limit on our losses, we should also set a limit on our wins or profits. So that we take a break from gambling after winning this amount. And also don't have face that kind of situation what you have recently experience.

Lacking self control should not be described as hypnosis.

If you have an early sign of being unable to control yourself during gambling, you need to take quick steps to prevent it from escalation into a worse phase. You can talk to someone to check in on you after some certain duration in gambling. It may be after a 45 minutes period interval . More or less time.

Lol I would have that checked out if you are hearing voices in your head, mate. That is not normal haha. But anyway, when in gambling what is also normal is gamblers losing themselves and acting even out of character. It is not that they get possessed but people just get carried away when they sniff out some money or profit. We become greedy and all logic flies out of the window. What is important is that you do end up getting back to yourself every time.

It wasn’t hypnotize, it was greed getting to play its tricks on you. Many gamblers get these temptations every now and then, always in the event of a win and very few people are able to emerge unscarred.
You took the hate man but, you were able to call yourself to order when need be and that’s what makes you good at gambling.

If uou actually get to that point which I don’t think it’s for your kind of person, given the way you handled this this far, it would mean your truly finished and have no use gambling. Good to see you didn’t and I don’t think this ends your gambling history.

That’s greed, my friend. I’ve felt it too, though not in a casino game. When you’re already ahead by a solid amount but can’t bring yourself to stop, it just proves why having a plan before gambling is so crucial. Set a clear goal, not just on what you’re okay losing, but on how much is enough to win.

Without a plan you know, it’s easy to keep falling into the same trap, all because of a lack of discipline. We often focus on managing losses, but knowing when to say "that’s enough" and walk away with your winnings is just as important.

At least, he woke up from reality and not go to the brink of selling important assets just to follow what his mind is telling him to do. That's the usual dilemma of most gamblers. What if the next spin will give you the jackpot? And most of the time, it is not. That's the sad reality in gambling. We can't tell when will we can win but usually we will be on the losing side.
If you find yourself in the similar situation, better pause or stop what you are doing, and decide where you want to go next. Your next step is crucial as it can be your life-changing moment. Better opt for lesser compromises even if you haven't seen the outcome yet.

Yeah. Immediately we win, we begin to hear that tiny voice speaking through our minds telling us we shouldn't quit because there is more to be won. Well, that's not hypnosis, it's greed. Every gambler gets that feeling and what differentiates every gambler from the other is their level of self control.  Irresponsible gamblers allow that tiny voice control them. Even when they are losing, they are willing to go into debts just to satisfy greed. Gambling is very risky and not recommended for those who lack control over themselves.

I just laughed over this because I know that is the level of how we can control or have self control over everything we are doing, and of course we know that having self control really matters but if we don't have principles to discipline ourselves we would end up still having the greedy part of us having control over us while gambling. At this point this shows how strong you could be easily controlled with what you see and not you controlling and discipline yourself, just like I does I have learnt to always stick to bet within specific amount and if that amount is exhausted there is no interest matches that would attract my attention anymore till I get my balance refilled when I map it out.

That's the ultimate goal of gambling casinos, to hypnotize their players with their interesting games so that the house can maximize its profits. If you let yourself become deceived on it, it will be your loss. Although sometimes it's win, but most of it ends up as a loss. This is the reason why we need to set limits when gambling, and immediately withdraw your funds once it reaches your target winnings. If you won't stick to it, thats the time you will be taken advantage by the casino.

It's greed that sets -in, you wanted more, you think that you can still replicate those winnings. Same when you are losing as well, you wanted to get back that money and recoup your losses. So let that be a lesson for you, control yourself and just log out and take a walk.

I know that it is easy to say but very difficult to do, but I think if we really have developed that mind. We need to be discipline and be responsible. But I have to admit it, I also go to this experience before, but somewhat learn to fight it back, and just stay calm during this wins and think of what would I do to that money and so with that, I was thinking of the positive things that will come along if I quit right away and walk out.

That's a pretty normal part of the human being, like others said, it's greed that makes you hypnotize to spin again, not the casino itself. If you have self-control, you will already withdraw your capital and a portion of your profit and play other games instead because, in my opinion, if the slot gives you a win, the next time you play on the same game, they will most likely take your wins again, so if this happens again, you should withdraw it immediately, even if your wins are not 100% of your total capital (be satisfied).

Or better, every time you play in the casino, always think that you are just having fun, not for profit, because if you are looking for profit, that is the big reason why you become greedy. Try to play just for fun and only deposit that you can afford to lose because casinos exist only for entertainment purposes.

They make you feel that. It's a strategy. It will somehow look invisible to those who get caught with it and we will not realize it until we stop or deplete our balance.
I have been there many times and I am still getting pulled by that sickness up until now. It's not easy to let it go especially when you see how much multiplier you have won. There's this feeling that you want to experience it again one more time and then it goes on and on. No ending "one more time"  and in the end your emotion is filled with regrets about what you had done. "Always take a breather after a big win. Savor it. Spend it on something else." That's what I always tell myself and sometimes I can do it.

The casino doesn't whisper anything to anyone,  at least I know tht the casino still allows ou to our freedom of choice  except  you choose to stay back and continue ten it will tart sounding and feeing like there's something more which then brought abouthe taught of hypnosis.  You don't get such because not even the casino's staff for the land casino does persuade you o try a second spin, it's usually based off some self decisions, so the casino is completely off this, it's just you.

it is not uncommon for this to happen, I am sure almost all gamblers have experienced it. anyway, I've had experiences like this a lot in the past, where I would convince myself that if I continued gambling after winning a bit when I just started my session, the chance of me winning again would be higher, which we all know is just BS. it is a dangerous mindset to have which took a long time to get out of.

That's not casino games, that's just dopamine speaking. It's quite literally me whenever I eat sweets. It's bad for me (I'm already diagnosed with Diabetes lol) and yet I just can't stop grabbing that chocolate bar every now and then whenever I remember about it. Though I guess tbf, casinos are made to induce more of that dopamine but I'm no pro at that so can't really say how much "influence" it adds.

In gambling has happened to me a couple of times before, but I've only ever listened to it when I had extra funds available. And in most cases, I don't really have extra lol.

I have a simple rule for gambling and trading that allows you to avoid such situations or at least smooth them out as much as possible. It is a very simple rule: always withdraw half of your winnings if your winnings are significant. Indeed, it is a very simple rule, but it is very effective. It allows you to get rid of the "casino hypnosis". We all have a hard time dealing with the "inner voice" that will advise us more and more absurd things. Imagine that you have won a million dollars. Do not ask how, just admit it. And at that moment your inner voice tells you: "Use this money to win more, lol!"

Pure emotions. I already experienced this as well, this is very common when you do gambling - even online or offline. I remember before in a gambling house I told my friend, that after my last bet, we would go home but I lost then I still bet more and kept losing, so instead we would go home happy but we went home lost a lot, lol.

Do you think that the game is monitoring your behavior and giving you handouts on time? There are no tricky games there. Just a random sequence of events. You yourself animate these events and give them purpose and meaning.
That's how stories appear that tricky casino games deceive players. Did you win? Go away. You can play it another time. It was the gambler's greed that hypnotized him, not the casino.

I also have that experience many times because I admitted that gambling can tempts me easily. When we win the money, our minds will thinks that we have more chance to win so we continue gambling and hopes that the next rounds will our winning. But that will not be easy because gambling will not let us win more money. Gambling can takes all of our money and capital so we lose all of the money.

If we can not realize about that, we will risk all of our money in gambling without have a chance to win more. It is about how we can control ourselves in gambling so we don't have to follow the temptation to win more money.

The casinos didn't hipnotized you to continue gamble after gets huge win the mind always want to gamble comes because you didn't feel satisfied with your winning which mean you are too greedy so that's why many people have suggest to the gamblers that self control is important because it can avoiding the gamblers to gets huge lost but don't have to worried about your mistakes because all gamblers in the world have experienced situations like this so this commonly happend in the gambling world

It is really just that you or something we can call it "Intuition or simply your greed", whenever these tiny voices starting out to be on your head then this is where it will be disrupting out your senses or whatever control that you do have in mind or with those early limitations that you had set out. This is where emotions do really kicks in on which your greed and your mind getting aligned and when it happens then it will really be that so hard on having such control and you will be definitely be doing it on whats into your mind. There are really that indeed those situations on which you will be having those impressions that if you have been able to win up a good amount on few spins then why cant you on the next one?.

You will be that become desperate on doing it, and when ti comes for it to happen then you will be continuing on thinking that your loss will be that break even or be next profitable when you do hit up another win and the cycles continue. For those who do have some bad experiences in the past then they are the ones who do make out adjustments and be able to make out that kind of awareness that they should be avoiding it and thats a good one but actually its not necessary for you to experience first before you would be doing such act on which making use of your own common sense and sensibility about conditions.

I am happy that you admitted that you lack discipline to stop the game when you won the first spin. Another thing is greed, be satisfied with your win and play another day because in gambling, the more you play, the more you are vulnerable to losses. Any greedy gambler will hardly have self control over his gambling activities and will be regret his actions.

It's always a beautiful feeling anytime we win and we tend to tell ourselves that if it can happen once it can happen again so we shouldn't give up easily. But every experienced gambler knows that this is not true in gambling, the probability of winning continuously is lesser than losing continuously. So whatever your mind is telling you at the point of winning shouldn't matter much because you're excited and it's your emotions reacting to the win. Inorder to avoid the distraction of over gambling or chasing loses it's better to have a budget of the bankroll that you're going to use for gambling in a day. Whether you're winning or losing when the bankroll exhausts you should exit honorably.

most times we downplay the importance of being disciplined enough to knowing when to quit most especially when we are winning.  this is not just peculiar to the casino but every other gambling that involves you seeing the outcome and having the choice of playing again or calling it an halt has this tendency of pushing you into attempting one more trial and then another trial till you find out that you have given back the one you have won already.

regardless of how likely the next one looks like one that will give you a jackpot or one big win, the one at hand is the real gain you have had from your game and maturity as a gambler entails that you work away when you have gained some level of profit even though it might be always much. gambling is generally addictive, and both wins and losses has one thing in common, they have a way of pushing you into continuous gambling. if you have won, the thought your next bet can give you more wins always comes in and when you have lost, the thought of playing one more time just so you can recover your loss comes up again and if you don't have the edge over this thought, the circle of winning and then losing it all out will continue to repeat over and over again.

As gamblers, we've all experienced the urge to play one more game, especially after a winning streak. It's natural to feel optimistic and think, 'What if I win?' But this mindset can lead to you to trouble. That's why it's good to hold tight to discipline

To resist this temptation, I use the 5-second rule. When I feel the urge to continue playing, I tell myself, 'Stop!' and count down: five, four, three, two, one, then, I log out. Once I've logged out, I tell myself, 'you've already logged out, keep moving, don't log back in.' This technique helps me overcome the urge to play one more game.

It's not easy to stop, especially when you've experienced losses which is normal and you crace win. But keep in mind, gambling is a 50/50 chance. When you lose, you'll feel worse. So, try the 5-second rule: log out and move on.

Usually they won't get satisfied until they didn't realize that they are committing mistakes when they are losing already. Their greedy thoughts always contributes for having a bad faith. That's why people need to realize early that they won't get anything if they always have this attitude.

There's a lot of lessons to learn since there are gambling addiction stories posted online so hopefully people make that as basis so that they would come up on realistic thoughts and could able to create good strategy so that they can avoid experiencing addiction and also know how to settle up then quit when it needed to do.

I think almost every gambler if not all gamblers have had this kind of experience before they learned how to discipline theirself. I personally have been in this kind of situation and it was after I lost all my money that I realized that I would have just left with my initial winning. I wouldn't say it's hypnosis, it's just lack of composure and discipline, because if you had said to your self that if you won x amount, you would stop gambling for that day, and you stick with that plan, you would not be a victim.

I stopped gambling due a bad addiction, and I can completely relate to your experience in casinos. The truth is that casinos design their games to keep you hooked and make you play longer.
I'm sure when you start playing more than usual or lose important money, the best and only solution is to stop or take a break. That just one more spin voice is how they keep you in the cycle of chasing losses or big wins that doesn't appear. Trust me, it’s better to walk away early than to chase losses. In my experience you will only regret it later. Stay careful and know when to step back before it's too late.

i feel that it is not the game that hypnotizes us, but it is us who are unable to control ourselves... because if you look at the game in the casino, of course it is something that has the potential to make someone addicted - but if someone is unable to control themselves what happens is they will lose control and gamble without limits like what you do. that's why it is important for a gambler to be able to understand their limits and only gamble according to their abilities, and as much as possible to limit themselves and not get carried away when gambling.

One thing I understand about cadion games is that, they always have a way of putting you in between games when you're on the verge of winning and when that tiny whisper talks to your head, don't hesitate just stop gambling at that point. And this is where sekd control creeps in and at that point slot will be going through your mind but since you're the custodian of your thoughts you have to control to the dimension you want it to go. And probably you experience this again I advice you cash out and go home with your little token or huge sum.

This is the common temptation when playing slot games. You can’t resist to play more if you experienced an early win unlike when you loss earlier then hit huge win to recover all your losses and take profit which makes easier to walk away.

I lose most of the time when I experience huge win on early few spins since I’m tempted to play more and possibly increase my bet so that if I hit high multiplier I will win huge amount this time which ofc will not happened.

I totally can’t relate on the experience that you share here as a slot player.

But, I feel like that your level of addiction will determine your hypnotized situation. Even the term 'hypnosis' here sounds dramatic, I feel like it could the best wording to describe how deceive the gambling will be. I agree that lack of discipline is the root-case here, still we need to find out why that happens? Because, the deceive nature of gambling leads you to deviate from your plans of being disciplined. So, I find it more appropriate to call that casino games are hypnotizing us.

This is exactly what hypnosis will do. Yeah, all control like all decisions should be yours and when you are not taking or following your 'usual' decisions then I believe it would be right to assume that you are hypnotized. No big differences IMO.

Lets just make it clear, the game did not hypnotize you, but your greed did instead. Nothing new, great or supernatural did happened. It is only your greed. You have said yourself, "second win brought you good money and you have started to dream how you are going to spend it". Once that dream appeared in your head, it was hard to let it go. The outcome of that story we already know. Nothing to recommend or comment here, better luck with self-control next time.

Everyone went to this trap. There's some voice in our heads that tells us to gamble some more because what if we win with the next bets that we'll do? What if we'll win with the next spins with the roulette that we do. Or what if we win with the next roll of dice that we do? Yes, you're not alone that fell for that trap because it's mostly everybody did experienced that as well. So, with that by means, you only have to satisfy yourself and need to stop at the right point when you've won already some quite amount of money that can call the day off.

The funny thing that happens is that greed is always tempting us. We may think it is normal in gambling, and we all have the same experience after winning because what appears in our minds is, "What if I win again"? Such assumptions always arise, no matter what, and our greed drives us to bet more and lose everything.

Winning could sometimes just be a memory for us and a lesson to learn. Sometimes we think if that happens again, we'll never make stupid decisions. Unfortunately, it's going to happen again and again.

When we start enjoying the game sometimes we do lose control that we can usually control calmly. Especially if it is a game that we have just done, and there is still a feeling of curiosity much more that makes us more curious and want to continue making the next round.
When we start to lose control and with a little awareness can stop the game then exit and stop to continue the next round. You are not the only gambler who feels that way, there are quite a lot of gamblers who also feel the same experience as you.

Such whispers happen to almost everyone. But someone stronger in spirit knows that such things often happen for the loss of even their non-winning funds. But that is what makes gambling so tempting, that we always want more. I usually find myself in such a situation, but I have enough strength to stand when the amount of my money turns into a minus. This is a kind of stop signal and time for a break.

If we tackle hypnotize, I think it can only be experienced when experiencing winning while winning at the casino, especially if you experience it one after another,
of course the gambler will be more motivated to play what he does.

And this is always the main target of casino platforms so that a gambler's mind can control these players to return to gambling again and again.

It’s not hypnotism, but it is your greed. You want more just because you have done something fortunate for you. You know that if you have already realized that you have made money with only what you thought could be done again, that’s how the gambling fallacy works. It makes you feel that you want more and you could do it again, and then that’s where people lose a lot of money in gambling.

you get some wins and you don't choose to stop but continue, how is the casino game cunning? how does the casino ask you to continue the game?
I don't think you are hypnotized, but you yourself don't have a good will to refuse to continue the game. there is never a casino that will guarantee you a winning streak and make you rich. the game will come with wins and go. if you are not satisfied with what you get, then you can lose everything you have.

That is why when you play in a gambling game based on luck, please eliminate all expectations. Play as much as you like, enjoy losing or winning with a sense of satisfaction. Then you will be much more positive than feeling that something is whispering in your ear because basically it comes from an ambition that has not been fully satisfied by the game. In gambling based on luck, winning is number 2 but the main thing is satisfaction. When you are satisfied but still profitable, you will immediately withdraw, but on the contrary when you win too quickly the feeling of satisfaction has not been fulfilled, it is very unpleasant.

That voice that's tiny but mighty! It won't allow one rest till one does its bidding. Well, it's not always that it moves us to wrong choices. There are times we also listened to it and we came out better and victorious. Next time, what I would do if I were you and given this same scenario, I would take out half of the winning with my capital and then gamble with what's left. That way you won't lose anything even if the bets go against you.

It's obvious what possessed you on the day – you sought revenge. You were bent on recovering whatever you lost earlier that day. Revenge gambling or trading isn't a good thing to indulge. We should only gamble or trade when our heads are cleared up and devoid of anxiety.

Its more about the dopamine coming into play;
When you feel pleasure in something you're doing, you keep doing it because you feel you are rewarded; its not the casino convincing you; its your inner self yearning for the pleasure that you're getting from playing.
Besides dopamine, another one that attracts or hypnotizes players is the reward it awakens, the dopamine that will make you want to continue playing.
Don't blame the casino; its just you losing your control, and your yearning pulls you to play more.

You are not only calculative but super calculative when it comes to gambling. Are you serious about that? If you understand mathematics and you applied it in gambling, finding out the expected value of games and bets, you will not want to gamble again unless you want to do it for fun as you will see higher chances of losing which is enough to discourage you. After winning with luck, you would have withdrawn the money immediately.

It's not just you bud, your experience you just shared is exactly the same as many other people, infact, millions of other gamblers who play casino games and other luck based games like slot.

I personally have been through same experience quite a number of times, I can remember vividly one day i stayed up at night playing casino games to day break, at first, I won a good amount of money, I then believed that luck was on my side that day, I continued to play believing I will win more but never won again until the first profit I had was all gone, I became determined at that moment to try to win back the profit, and that as soon as I do, I will stop, I ended up losing my entire deposit.
Something told me to deposit again,, that i will win all the money I've lost back, I deposited and got a few minor winnings which I felt wasn't enough to stop playing already, and I ended up losing the entire deposit again, one of my worst gambling experience actually.

Well this ain't new to anyone especially if you are a gambler. This is simply human greed 101, I mean every gambler virtually hear that sound you are talking about and only difference is how well you tend to handle the voices because it's practically your greedy nature that have kicked in and so many gamblers fall into the temptations and believe it's does more harm than the little times you tend to get lucky from conquering.

I agree, that's greed in there. It's in our emotions that keeps us thinking that we should go for more because we could be the luckiest guy on the next moments of our bets.

That's part of the algo with the casinos. If someone has won, expect that if that guy continues to gamble again and not careful.

Then, everything is going to be shattered and nothing will be left and that's why we have to check ourselves when we've got some profits already.

That's true, it's your own conscience that push you to keep on playing instead of stopping the temptation and that kind of lust that that keeps on whispering to puh for more, trying to entertain that feelings or that kind of adrenaline that excite your minds, either you are winning or you are losing, both have that adrenaline rush to keep on playing and most of the time lead you to lose more instead of limiting yourself to whatever amount you set for your budget.

OP said he believed to be possessed, that can't be true. Some gamblers don't know it is easier to lose or keep staking when playing casino than when sports betting, especially when it is about spins, just a click and another following another and so on before one may correct himself the balance has been entirely swept off, unlike sports betting that requires your time to calculate and predict the results. What makes a good gambler is the ability to resist in situations like this not just by winning as much times.

From observation, we should be able to reject one last time offer that the brain actually rings, taking the risk isn't worth especially after a big win from them, you can't cheat the casino they know how take back what they gave.

Every gambler has experience what you have expirienced so far which is not a new thing, Anymore can expirience it even I myself has experience it before , there is that inner instinct that gives you courage to still gamble, hoping to win big and that is the result of addiction. Addiction is that thing that makes you feel like you gonna win and yet you May continue endlessly without wining. There is nothing different from your explanation with addiction.

Of course it happened to me many times especially in the past, it's not surprising to see that happen to many people. You know, it's not that entertaining if you only gamble for few times even you make profit, you will want to gamble more. Not about to make more money, but just want to increase gambling session.

Usually when I win a good amount of money at the beginning, I will lower my bet and gamble more just to get satisfaction while gambling.

When we start playing casino games, we need to be very careful because as we play, we don't look at the time, especially when the person is winning. Because the person is winning, the person becomes very confident that they can win even more and ends up losing everything. The problem is that when the person loses everything, they don't accept it and will go back to depositing at the casino to play and get all their money back.

In the past, I played a casino game. It was my first game, Plinko. It's unbelievable that I spent many hours playing without realizing that many hours had passed. That day I realized that I shouldn't go back to playing casino games, so I started only betting on sports.

That's how it was made. Let the player win initially and then take all his money in the long run. That's the sweetest deal they could possibly make to entice more players and keep on coming back. I guess it will just be up to us if we want to withdraw after a win and that's actually the most difficult part when you are in that moment, feeling lucky, blessed, and maybe become rich in the fastest way possible.
I have been there but I never repeated it. The money is too important for me and my family that is why I can easily get out whenever I feel like I am losing more.

Been in this situation so many times and sometimes fall into this scenario; winning money and beating the house are the two convincing situations or reasons why you want to continue.
This just one more time thing can be considered a trap because it becomes a habit that you will have a hard time breaking and will lead you to keep depositing to recover your losses. This is how you develop your addiction to gambling, so if you cannot decline this one more time, you are in trouble in developing addiction.

The ops have himself to blame for all of the outcomes of this scenario because as a gambler he should know better that first winnings are always a big trap if you don't have limits control and this limited control is what every gambler should develop before even visiting a casino or exchange to trade, I know why I mentioned trade in this discussion because trading and gambling is same when it comes to first time lucks., many times some of those gamblers that make such mistakes are mostly newbies and as ops already mentioned that he is a newbie so we can't blame him for feeling the way he is feeling.

these games have been designed from early days on that structure. this is the essence of these games... and probably this is the main reason gambling house have so many success.
I would avoid to blame these procedures. This is part of their way to work. There are no clear laws on that and they are just making their works.
I am not sure this approach not regulated will be "forever". As I have seen on my country, many laws to regulate gambling should be implemented...

I just ignore such whisper. It is normally feeling if you win - you believe that you catch the luck, it`s your day, etc. The truth is in maths. You can win several times in a row, and get lose strike for all the money.
When i gamble for fun - i often lose all the planned money. But if i`m in the game for profit - there is no place to emotions. One size of the bet, only analyzed events.

Depends on where we gamble though.

If the casinos and gambling providers aren't big enough, also they can't provide a way for the gamblers to verify the bets, then yeah the casino might able to manipulate the system.

In gambling it's all about trust, if we don't trust the casinos, we can't take the loss and we will blame the casinos for deceive the gamblers.

The voice you hear whispering sweet things in your ears is your emotions playing tricks on you. Casino games will put you in a place where your discipline will always be questioned. A gambler new or old can easily forget about discipline and the need for it in gambling after winning big. It is always exciting, and decisions made when excited because excitement is an emotion, can be wrong. This is why after a big win, it is only few gamblers, who would immediately decide to stop playing especially casino games that you can quickly see if you have won or lost.

Nahh, I can't really say for everyone but if you have self control during your gambling session, you will be able to over come such voices like you said.its all about your mindset. Remember gambling is risky so if you make some profits and know very much that's enough, just exit for the day and come again tomorrow. Don't over do it and get carried away by just one win. Just like what happened to you, you were carried away and lost all including your deposit. Just try your best to control your self and you will overcome such voices.

Deeply said , more to this your facts is that the casino game when one happened to win huge bring in the feeling or emotion that one can win greater if more is used, what I called false emotion appearing real FEAR will finally disappear all one will be thinking is how to play or even sell any thing to play, in other word been addicted is not far from this situation. Winning big in casino game is just a sample of the more you look the less one see because lunching deep without control will dran the person playing such game in terms of losses.

There's no other than you would be needed up to blame but only yourself on which you cant blame the casino that they are deceiving or hypnotizing you on which this isnt really that right that you will be pointing out your fingers because you are the ones who have decided to play and you arent that forced on making up some deposit for you to play. It isnt really that just that right that you would really be thinking up this way. Therefore, when you do play up gambling then you should be that sensible on whatever the actions that you are taking and thats why its important that you do really know at least on the things that you are really that doing.

From that sensation, we want to continue gambling because we are curious that the multiplier we get wants to be big in the next session.
Even in gambling games it makes the passion increase when you win. That's what it feels like.

Not if I, actually increase the bet so that the victory can be bigger, but the gambling game will finish quickly than a small bet so the roll will be more.

That's it will be at most times, we feel that we've been secured because we've won at the beginning and for several times. We think of it that we're solely lucky and that's why in our minds, we have to continue and no one is going to stop us because we're fortunate, we're lucky and money is in the tables ready for grabs. But that's not at all times, and if we're not careful to withdraw after those wins. Even the bankroll that we have started with will also be taken away if we're stubborn.

This is a classic story that I hear very often among my friends and acquaintances who play casino games. Each time they tell about how they were just a little short of winning more. But I have one question, if you won a lot, why do you need more? Some call it greed, but it seems to me that it is curiosity that tells you with a voice to check if you can win more. Sometimes it is not even about money, but only to check yourself, your rightness, luck and other things. I myself did this a few times a long time ago and then regretted that I continued to play. Now I have forever understood that you can’t do this and you need to shut up this inner voice and take it when you are given a win and leave.

When playing gamble you need to keep minds away from winning just in case you were not opportuned to win. Expecting something from gamble will make you to lose more and also make one become addicted to gamble. As gambler, expecting winning from your bet and unfortunately for you, you didn't win, you will probably chase your lose and chasing loss will result to more losses. Talking about satisfaction, some gambler do not get satisfied when they make their first deposit for the day, so they make another deposit and gamble till they are satisfied. So you need to be careful with the amount you are wagering.

Gambling can be quite frustrating if you don't manage it properly and that is actually when you begin to struggle with winning and in the end bag up huge losses. The thing is everyone wants to win because basically no gambler intends to lose his bets but the idea is to make winning a secondary priority that's because making it your main drive will only end up creating emotional attachments that in the end would make a loss more painful.
The ups and downs in gambling have to be accepted else you will likely end up gambling with a naive mentality.

I don't know if it's the effect of the casino or if it's related to your neurons or your emotions. Actually, the answer is clear, we can always experience this. When it comes to willpower, sometimes some players can stray from their paths much more easily, and those who say they won't stray will stray, there will always be good days and bad days. Gambling management is yours, the casinos there only serve you.

The casino is usually the last one to blame, if we want to be honest to ourselves. No one is forcing us to deposit, nor to place the bets. Unfortunately, the concept of gambling and the games themselves are addicting, there's no denying that, we've all fallen a victim of their tactics some way or another. This isn't an excuse though, but as I said, I'm quite confident that we've all have experienced what the OP described.

You should have stopped, but didn't, thinking what's the harm in playing one more spin? You lose once, you decide to go for one more round, thinking that this one should recoup the previous losses, however, it doesn't. You gradually enter a vicious cycle and if you don't pull yourself together, then you'll eventually lose everything in the process.

Where did you fall victim? The part of the human being that is greedy it is the only one you should blame why you become addicted to gambling.
Imagine a kid who is addicted to a game on the phone every day. The kid keeps playing that game to grind something; isn't that the same as how we gamble? This is what I think most people think too. They want to grind, but after gaining a good profit, he didn't stop because he is greedy. He wants to make more, even you already have more than 100% of your capital. Casinos didn't hypnotize as ourselves, just hypnotized by fun. Look at these kids who are always playing. Do you think the kids are hypnotized by the game?
There's no difference between gambling and playing a normal game. Adults, like us, are bored playing phone games unless there is a bet or we gamble; unlike children, who are addicted to playing phone games; they are not bored and invest in a game without thinking about the returns.

Greed is such a powerful force that many gamblers carry without knowing. It is the intention that is with them when they go back to chase losses and do revenge gambling. It is all greed. Greed is followed by a lack of knowledge. I think that where there is strong knowledge greed will be reduced.

While casino games have indeed psychological effects on gamblers, I don't think they hypnotize them. In the end, it's all about your control and discipline. Despite how enticing casino games are, despite how strong the urge inside to continue playing, you can actually say no.

I mean, who hasn't given in to the soft whispers inside our heads, right? But while it's the design of gambling that affects our thinking, it all boils down to our individual decision. The ultimate power to stop is within us.

Sometimes, we lose to the urge. Sometimes, we win.

I often say that every winning will be sacrificed and that happens with consecutive lost after winning and when you have lost more money then winning will come back but after that there is another consecutive lost, this cannot be avoided especially if we really dominantly like casino games.
Best choice is to stop and withdraw all the winning, but seeing what you are doing is very brave and winning or casino games are not like hypnotizing but you own greedy mistake and thinking about getting more win, the thought of winning bigger always appears so it will depend on how you make decisions after winning whether to ignore the thought of being able to win or take risks again which is clearly the result of lost.

speaking of hypnotization, i do not know if you guys are familiar with greek mythology but in the fictitious book percy jackson, there is a casino called The Lotus casino where every person that comes in there is offered a lotus to eat and when they do they will lose all sense of time and be stuck there

this is inspired from homer's epic The odyssey where in an island people who eat lotus live in bliss and have no sense of the world outside that island

i doubt casinos actually hypnotize their gamblers like this lol it is all fiction and pretty sure if a casino did this to you it will be illegal
yup if the casino's pull is strong then you can be stronger

I don't think that's a sneaky way to make you continue to play but more about the inability to control yourself, especially since you said that you usually have good calculations and know when to stop so what happened was because you couldn't control yourself, and no matter how good gamblers can control themselves there are times when they can't do that because gambling when winning is so much fun that they forget what has been set and usually done

I think that's just you and you may want to consider consulting a professional.  This is a funny thought though.  A casino that hypnotizes you to just keep playing and pumping in all your money.  I guess all of them probably do subliminally to some extent (the extent of the law most likely).  I'm even guessing this sort of thing might be realistically happening maybe at some smaller casinos.  Hopefully not.  I'd hate to think that these old people pumping their SS checks into penny slots all day every day are under some sort of trance.

Read your story, and it's good that you still ended up with a few bucks. Most of the gamblers who're experiencing the same thing ending up with nothing, and funny enough, a few of them are doing what you might've done if you didn't win which is SELLING THEIR PROPERTIES or whatever thing they have in hand.

I've experienced that multiple times as well and that didn't end up good for me as I ending up losing all including my initial capital. It's good that you and I know how to stop now if needed and call it a day. As for the hypnotizing part, it's you and your brain that hypnotizes you and not the casino itself. Your adrenaline pushes you to spin even more and if you can't control yourself, you will really try to win more. Knowing when to stop goes a long way.

Well, there are times where I can hear those things that you've heard as well but luckily, I know when to stop if needed hence, stopping if I think I can't win anymore. I guess contentment goes a long way alongside self-control. :)

Hey I get that experienced many times 🤣

Unfortunately, we are greedy to chase more winning which makes us lose all of our winning. We are not realize that the temptation become bigger especially when we can win the money. We just want to chase more and more winning without think that we already enough winning.

Maybe that is hypnotize us to continue gambling without stop for a while after we win. But if we can control ourselves better, we will know when to stop gambling.

Self-control is very important while gambling because it will help you to overcome gamble addition. OP wasn't satisfied that's why he continued gambling. And he also thinks that his predictions will continue to fetch him profits. However, gamble is risky when playing irresponsibly and can cause additions easily, chasing losses also makes things worsen. The lesson learned from this is never trust your first luck while gambling until you make a withdrawal.

So you basically had the same experience as 99% of all newbie gamblers. They win big at the first few bets, they get greedy and start betting more and eventually lose everything. There are rumors that some gambling games are rigged, so that they could hook more noobs in, by letting them win at their first bets.
I've never heard any gambler admitting that he was "hypnotized" by a gambling game. This seems weird. ;D
I never got "hypnotized" by any gambling game. Maybe in the near future, the online casinos would start implementing new casino features, that will hypnotize the gamblers.

You have a correct word that described OP situation - greed. That is not a hypnosis, magic, voodoo or anything of that kind that forces gambler to continue gambling, to make one more bet, one more try, makes gamblers to leave balance until next "better" session. Greed and only greed is the reason. That is so simple. I dont know why people try to find excuse and someone or something to blame. Slots, music, UI, atmosphere hypnotized and made me lose - that is a lame excuse.

At the moment of receiving a profit, a person, in addition to thinking that he can win more, also allows the thought that with this money that came out of thin air, you can play more boldly, without thinking about losses. That is, what was easy to get, it is not a pity to lose. This is exactly what happens. People lose their prize money and only then remember that it was worth finishing the game. I also do not think that such feelings can be called hypnosis, but the presence of some euphoria is undeniable, and it prevents some from looking at the situation more soberly.

Greed is natural in a person. Maybe for others even more than most. It is how you control this greed that will make you different from others. While some can't help but fall in to their greed, some can avoid it and can save themselves from doing something out of greed.
Simple because they do not want to take responsibility. They always want to blame it on something or someone instead of accepting that it is all their mistake.

You described your experience perfectly, and I am sure that everyone here saw your situation as their own, because your logic is very easy to understand, and I think that 95 percent of players would go your way, I mean they would do exactly the same as you, continuing to spend money, instead of stopping and stopping playing. This small voice, as you described, is inside absolutely every player, and the ability to resist it is the most important skill in the career of any gambler. And you wrote that you are an optimist, and unfortunately this wonderful quality of any person in gambling becomes negative.

And I don't believe on anything like that since for me that thing doesn't exist. They are just creating some reason to point out on what happen that's why they believe on such thing that they are been hypnotized that's why they lose at the end.

While the fact is they just didn't control their greed that's why they end up losing. Don't know if there's still people right now believe on what they believe exist. That's why better for them next time to know how to assess the situation also they should know when to quit so that they won't encounter same scenario which they are losing again their money for bad mistakes made.

We are not immune to such a thing (greed), and what happened to you and your friends has also happened to everyone. I'd never say it was regretting because what if you win? We will just know if we are right or wrong after deciding to continue gambling. Indeed, it was just checking yourself if you are lucky today or not. But losing is not a thing we can say that we are a failure. Instead, we just think this is gambling. We never win if we never gamble, and of course, we can't lose as well.

Yes, that is the world of gambling, we are always whispering with high pleasure and hallucinations, it's no wonder that we see many people hypnotized in casino games, The fact is we know that every money that is deposited and playing loses and loses, can be said to bet five times one win, that's gambling.

Surely everyone has experience in the casino, whether it's happy or difficult, which is sure we must have twists and turns in playing casinos, it is commonly felt by gamblers, including myself, Sometimes I am hypnotized if I see a friend indeed in a certain slot bet and I also want to do like them, although in the end I also feel defeat, that's the experience in the casino.

 

I had a similar experience with slots, it was very difficult to resist starting to lose all the winnings that I got after the first five spins. And of course, I also lost it right away, and halfway through I will increase the bet on the spin to quickly return my deposit to the state it was just a few spins ago. Of course, I lost everything, without getting any pleasure from it.
A common story among gamblers...

We can afford to play more riskily with the money we win, I think this is a normal reaction of the player, because in this case we are no longer risking our own money (I mean not the money we entered for gambling), but the money we managed to win and therefore we can afford to play more riskily with a potentially bigger win. This is definitely not hypnosis, this is our perception of gambling, and the level of our permissions and desire to take the winnings or leave it for further play.

Yeah exactly gambling has a way of messing around with  someone's brain especially when you're having that feeling of stopping in between the fun, you will be getting some tick tock mindset whereas it's not actually what you planned for. So avoiding that feeling could actually be better of but at that initial time the force that comes with gambling would be in possession of your thoughts.

Ok, let's look at it from a different scenario, if someone took alcohol in excess that their body can no longer control it and therefore the person gets drunk and start to misbehave, would you say the person was hypnotized which made him to take the excessive alcohol? First, anyone that is taking alcohol should realize when they have consumed their required gauge and must stop at the moment they realize they have taken enough.  Lack of self control  or control of appetite can cause and have caused many people to get deeply drunk and caused serious harm to their self or their property.

If you relate this scenario to gambling, people gets addicted in gambling because they refused to listen when their heart told them to stop. They refused to have self control. Gambling doesn't tell you not to have self control, you are the one that will teach yourself to have self control.

That's a classic gambling urge that everyone experiences, and you can only avoid it if you act quickly, which means that as soon as you start hearing those voices, you should ignore them and go ahead with your withdrawal. If you give it a second thought, you are not going out, and you will definitely play to win more and eventually lose everything, including your deposited amount. In your case, you were lucky that you didn't lose everything, but mostly, when you win something big initially and then become greedy, you tend to lose everything back.

It requires a lot of patience for a person to get through this stage, and this is the stage that makes a person lose more than what they had intended to spend on their gambling activities. If you listen to that urge and act according to it, nothing can stop you from making more deposits because as you said, it's like getting hypnotized because you can't think of going away anymore once you lose some because you keep saying to yourself that you will only stop now if you win whatever you had won back again, which barely happens.

It is about the prospect of easily winning money from the casino, which triggers greed and greed lead us to place bets or wager money more and more recklessly each time, allowing the game to start to apply the house edge upon us, making us lose money. It is how it works in the end.
Anyone who has an initial strike of good luck and is considering to continue to gamble more for the sake of accumulating more money, is not supposed to do such a thing, common sense would tell us to withdraw at least a percentage of whatever we managed to get in our initial good luck strike and keep a little bit of money on the account for us to continue to gamble for a while, until our good luck is finally over.

Are you a cat that chases lasers on the walls and ceiling or what?
There was no hypnotizing, you just give it away yourself in the first line.


It's called greed and it got the better of you, nothing else, stop trying to find a magical culprit in all this, it was just you.

There is one solution to greed and that's discipline. If you are the type that is every well reserved and don't gamble out of their risk management, they don't get deceive by greed. When they play and win, they lock in for that day and don't bother going back again, even it's loss they don't gamble for that day again until the next day, that's the best way to over greed, over gambling wouldn't bring back the money you have lost, you will only lose more.

Sometimes you see some gambling boss that you follow on social media bet many games a day but what some people don't understand is that they have some money they won in private that they don't share with the public people, it's that same money they risk again to make back the money they lost, sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't but their bank roll is never compromise because of trying some other luck but you that don't know anything underground will be thinking of over gambling.

Once you convince your mind to be playing above what you have limited yourself to, you might lose total control from using that money that you have won from the casino and be playing the way you don't play before you will from there lose all that money and later enter your initial deposit amount. That's why it's advisable for you to always set a limit; no matter how much you win, you can withdraw the big amount out first and leave a little amount. Once you try to double it and it gets exhausted, you close for the day.

I once read a blogger who compared the marketing and internal structure of casinos to the sweet-voiced sirens from the ancient Greek epic, whose goal is to take your money without using violence. By the way, slot machines are sometimes called "one-armed bandits" in our country. In general, the goal of any casino is to captivate you with the game itself and instill unrealistic expectations of endless winnings. This is a kind of hypnosis. How to resist it? Only by forming your own rules of the game and strictly adhering to them. There is no other way. But such rules are usually formulated with experience. If someone does not have these rules, then he will be forced to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

it really happens and that's why casinos or gambling can hypnotize the minds of every player, and for those who think that winning in gambling is easy to get are the group of people who I think are easily hypnotized because for people who can think wisely about gambling they will not be easily hypnotized even though they have often seen many gambling advertisements that show big wins and say that it is easy to get.
This goes back to ourselves who have full control over the gambling that is done, if we do not have self-control then gambling will successfully influence our thinking whether it is when we win or lose what will happen is a desire to continue gambling.
I think almost everyone who gambles has experienced this and may think that it is done because they are not aware.

When you do have that winning situation then you are really that thinking that you can be able to win up that huge amount of money if you are deciding to play up even more then this signifies that you are already that getting greedy with it and this is really that bad when you are really that having this kind of consideration because greediness is never been that a good thing because it will really be that making you to be that  doing on things on which arent supposed to be done specially that we are talking about spending money. On the time or moment that you do become that desperate then it might cause up into even more disaster when it comes into this situation because we do know that gambling will be that making a gambler to be on state of a loser in the end of the line.

It isnt something that hypnotize you by the casino but rather this will be talking about into the mindset that you do have on that current point on which this is the main reason on why you had that become that being desperate because you've been that getting blinded with your greed and making up those false hopes and this what causes up that disaster. This is why its important that you do really know at least on what you should gonna do.

Saying that casinos hypnotize us sounds like something we just made up. The truth is, gambling is naturally addictive, which is why it’s always recommended to gamble responsibly, that’s really the only way to stay safe. Casinos are just there to entertain us when we play, and we always have the choice to stop anytime. So I don’t get why some people blame their gambling losses on the casino instead of acknowledging their own lack of self-control.

I also don't believe that Greed and Hypnosis are different things, they are not the same or the same thing. Because Greed is a choice for me whether a gambler will allow it to enter his mind.

But if you look at it from another angle, it seems to have a similarity because once greed enters a gambler, there are tendencies sometimes that greed can control a gambler, so it's like hypnosis because it's under control, but it's still not for me.

Yeah, getting that point once greed already dominates you are being controlled and the only thing that you'll remember when realize things is you lose a lot becuase of following that emotions, not hypnosis but manipulated by your  own lust, there are gamblers who can manage to contol and able to enjoy and sometimes also manage to win decently, those who knows how to control and follow whatever set up they created to limit their gambling participation.

This is indeed a crucial time on the moment that greed is really that so strong that you will really be that neither be able to stop or not at the moment that it will that be having on your mind and emotion. Actually we are all greedy beings on which at the moment that we are winning up money then its really that normal that kind of emotion will really be that trying out to poke you up to play even more because you are wanting to have more money on which its a normal reaction. If you are really that sensible into the actions that you are taking specially on doing gambling then make it sure that you do have that good control when it comes to financial management because this is where gamblers do usually messed up.

Getting hypnotized by gambling casinos? I dont think so, since you are the ones who do make out such decisions whenever you do tend to make out some deposit on a gambling site. You arent forced nor being deceived on which means that you do make those gameplay using up your money with your own will. There's no one that needs to be get blamed on but only yourself on why you have lost up that much.

Absolutely agree with you that it is not some hypnosis and ordinary greed, because sometimes I also can not find the strength to take the winnings and leave the casino, although I understand perfectly well that the chances of winning again are minimal. I know from my own experience that greed can dull all other feelings and even eclipse for a while the mind. By the way, some gamblers have come up with an interesting trick to stop at such a moment. They play gambling only in the presence of friends who can stop them in time and bring back reason.

I think those friends can be bribed with a drink or a gift, and they will start supporting gambler to continue. A friend isnt an independent and not interested third party. That friend can be seduce with wins. Or I dont know what a friend should it be, that will be sitting next to gambler with dull face and show how he is bored and not even interested in game. I have never seen a situation when two friends come to casino and one of them is totally not interested in the process. I am used to seeing opposite. When two or more come, they gamble and lose more than if they would come by one.

Well, it might not happen to you, but it happens to other gamblers.

I could agree that becoming hypnotized is our choice, but whether you believe me or not, this can happen to anyone if they are focused on winning. That is why we see gamblers become addicted because they already fall into the trap. Their minds had already forced them to continue gambling, believing that they could win the next round. So, we should never underestimate gambling because it can influence our minds and actions.

Casino games are usually designed to attract gamblers, because it makes people more attractive and turns them into addicts. Casino games are usually made to attract gamblers who play more, I think they are addicted, because I participated in many casino games and I was losing almost all the games. But when I came to such a last stage and won a game, I forgot the pain of losing money in the past.

 Having won a last stage, because I lost a lot of money in the past, but at such a time, this casino game made me happy so that I later felt like I had won. And it creates attention to enter the game later, so I think that the only sign of addiction is that I am careful about these casino games. But I think it is best to be careful about all these casino games.

In principle, the human psyche is quite simple, which allows a third party to manipulate a person. It is very easy to put a person into a trance.

For example, if you quickly say six phrases to a person, and then say the seventh phrase, which will contain a certain order, then the person will most likely follow this order (that is, perform the actions that were required of him). If a person hypnotizes you, then it is quite easy to protect yourself from his influence, just wave your palm in front of his eyes.

This will confuse him, and he will immediately stop his malicious actions.

If a slot machine puts you into a trance, then everything is much more complicated. Meanwhile, a slot machine can put you into a trance state, overloading your subconscious with various sounds and pictures. You should know about this and control yourself.

Not being able to control your emotions can lead to more losses. Emotions makes a gambler to chase losses and chasing loss brings a whole lots of losses. But a disciplined gambler can easily stay away from anything that could lead to more losses. Because they know chasing lose will bring no winning. However, when you are not enjoying the fun in gamble you should take a brake and continue later. One should know gambling can not generate wealth so a gambler shouldn't gamble to become rich. Winning only comes when one is Lucky.

That's how it is, sometimes people who invent these kinds of things do so to discredit casinos, but casinos themselves don't have any kind of hypnosis or anything, we ourselves are the ones who will always decide what to do, the good thing about the casino is that they will always offer their entertainment services, we are the ones who make the decision to play game x, whatever we want, and we always decide how much money we are going to spend, so it's not hypnosis, for me that was invented by someone who lost and didn't know what to say, and out of anger he said he was hypnotized, I don't know, that occurs to me.

Not 'What if I win' but it is 'What if I win again'? Because, you said we already win previously. But that is true. Even me, have it lots of time. It is not bad though as long as we already set the amount that we will withdraw and we follow it strictly.

I think I heard a 5 second rule before but only in other aspect. I think one of it is in food industry, like if we drop it on the floor, and as long as we picked it up immediately under 5 seconds, it still can be eaten, lol. This might be true though since the bacteria might not yet spreading but on your case there, I don't get it why you still need to count 5 seconds? Lol. And why can't you just log out immediately? Though 5 seconds are not that long enough anyways, so I think that is still acceptable.

Yup, winning comes when you are lucky though those experience gamblers use their skills to prevent themselves from exceeding on their set limitations they understand that once they failed doing it they might lose a lot, and the tendency is to keep adding more money to their balance, it's better to stop and quit to avoid losing more, there's no hypnotizing just pure greed and frustration that encourage you to push forward and then lose more money..

Talking about getting hypnotized is easier for many people than openly admitting to have lost money to a casino because of their greed, though. That is really what all of this is about. It is not exactly about excuses, it has more to do with managing ways to cope with seemingly bad choices we make every single time we lose money, due to gambling, investing or even getting scammed on the internet.
There is a saying that goes: It is easier to fool someone, than convince such a person they have been fooled. In the case, bad gamblers decide to fool themselves with the illusion of not having full control over their actions and choices.
Ironically, when everything goes alright and they manage to get money from their choices, there is nobody to point fingers at, and they feel like geniuses of gambling and betting, exactly the opposite of the scenario which ensues when they are defeated by their own greed and the edge of the house.
Of one is not ready to accept loses and move on from them, one is never supposed to have stepped into a casino or signing up on one online.

Every gambler experience this and even more in a gambling session, you're lucky you made use of the last sanity in you to exit the casino, else the story would've been messy.

I also think that you need a principle on managing wins in a casino. Mine is to reset my balance to the initial deposit as soon as I clinch a significant win, this has helped me a lot to maintain my sanity while winning. Although I cannot claim to have perfectly followed it all the time, but it's helpful having such principles.

Such hypnotism begets addiction if you are not careful, the phrase "just one more time" has dealt with me lots of times and I wish I had the perfect solution to it, but we keep trying. It is also very good to only fund the casino with amounts you don't mind losing, and discipline yourself not to deposit more upon exhausting your deposit to mitigate against heavy financial loss when you loose control.

They really do a great job getting people sucked into these games for sure. I think a lot of casinos must have a psychological strategy involved because there are a lot of those elements that are applied to the gambling experience to make sure that they are addictive and ensure they make money with whatever game/machine is in there. You gotta know when enough is enough and just stop eventually if you hit too many losses.

Games are highly addictive, the main reason on why it is really that even more enticing is that it do really involves money and since human beings are naturally greedy then its normal that it will be having such effect into someone whose really that trying out to deal with it and this is why you would be saying that it do really hypnotizes you. I dont really believe much about being hypnotized as long you do have that good self control and thinking then its impossible that you wont be that able to think up on the things that you are currently dealing on with. Casinos are really just that offering things on which it do adds up on the spice and this what makes it addictive but since this is a business then its something which is really that very normal. Therefore, if you dont like to make yourself having that kind of probability on facing up some issues then its ideal that you should be that sensible into the actions that you are taking and not really that becoming delusional on becoming a winner when you do play up. This is why you cant totally blame out the casino if ever you do end up on getting addicted or facing up some financial issues just because of too much engagement or playing gambling.

My past experiences with casino games and slots is exactly the same for the
most part. My theory on it is that it doesnt take much brain power to play the games,
its mostly repetition so your brain can wander off into fantasies about winning the
Jackpot and how close it is. Thats how some people get trapped in a casino for
hours pulling the one are bandits.

Its so easy to get "hypnotised" into thinking of only hitting that Jackpot as you
drift from one machine to another chasing that payout. I have definitely been
there are realising I should have cashed out after the last payout so as not to be
walking out after losing everything

At school I was hypnotizes by beauty and youth of one of the teachers :D Can I blame her for that? As it caused my grades to be lower than I wanted :D Or it was my fault that instead of listening to her, I was stupidly looking on her, and later fail at exams?

Dont look on the picture, otherwise you will get hypnotized and would be betting only on black in roulette. Why dont people just accept that they are greedy and cant stop themselves when they see easy money? Stop searching for excuses to cover your fails.

Besides winning and being overconfident to continue playing in the hope of winning more, the fancy of casino games also manipulates our minds to keep playing. Without self control it's easy to get carried away and continue playing till we exhaust our bankrolls before we can realize that we've gone too far. Discipline is required when gambling so that we'll not make avoidable mistakes of over gambling either by chasing loses or being overconfident to continue with our wins. Knowing when to exit is the most important aspect of responsible gambling, so that we can avoid the temptations that leads to addiction.

Actually, controlling our emotions can lead us into two ways,, in which is it can be good and it can also be bad for us in the end. It is said that if we use our emotions correctly,
the chances are high that we can obtain profit in the end.

It is also not possible to gamble without using emotions because we are still human, of course when we win in a casino our emotions respond positively and
if we lose our response is negative too as well.

The casino itself does not have an element of forcing its players to continue gambling by depositing more and more money on gambling, but indeed this gambling can be addictive consciously or unconsciously, it's just that it's the fault of the player himself who can't control himself, I don't blame the casino for my own actions that always gamble because it's my own will. For people who can control themselves well, they will not fall into gambling until they become addicted.
Losing in gambling itself cannot be a factor of error, because after all this is a business that is developed so players who gamble are not strange if they experience frequent defeats, they must accept it well, because if they can't accept it then the conclusion they draw is to blame others not themselves.

Oh cmon frennnn I believe almost all people here already been there  ;D

The feels that Casino game hypnotizes you and want you to play more and more, put in the simple term it is called greedy and sometimes you can deny it. That greed is crawl all over your body and that is why you will never enough to play even tho you are win the game

Why not? Sometimes reason is stronger than greed and many gamblers manage to leave the casino immediately after winning. By the way, I noticed that beginners are not so much susceptible to greed in gambling so they easily take their first tangible winnings. True, some of them brain builds the wrong logical chain that gambling is an easy way to make money. Therefore, they soon come back and lose everything they have.

It's never easy following rules when gambling on casino platforms because it takes little time to hit on the spin button and little time to give you the results, the addictive habit and the sweetness it comes with is very high because it takes no time from starting to finish. So you may likely fail to follow rules set, your rules can say, 'hit 5 times in the spin button, if you fail to win even if a little amount, stop " but the case may be different. You may win little at your second spin and loss in the next 10 spins consecutively, thereby your rules are not followed.

Yeah the both are of different meaning, so anybody who is trying to bring the meaning of greed into making it to be the same with Hypnosis is contradicting himself because they don't have any similarity attached, however the hypnosis can take place in different ways, getting a complete attention of someone is also hypnosis but in terms of greed is when the mind is desperate on how to make money they aggressively follow it up, so actually casino does not hypnotized because the mind is completely functional but only the greedy ones will get themselves drown thinking is a hypnosis.

It is not the game possessing you but it is your mind being carried away with the game that you are playing. It does not matter if you are winning or lossing but your mind will make you keep enjoying the game that you are playing and you would not want to stop regardless of what is happening. This happens to lots of us and not only you have experience this. It will only take someone with a strong mind to stop gambling or they only stop when the money they had on them for gambling gest finished, that is when they will realize that they have been gambling for so long. This is why gambling addicts do not have control of what they do after they start gambling because their brain mislead them. All types of gambling hypnotized you to keep on playing but you can fight it.

That greedy lust that wanted you to push forward even if you already lose  a lot or if by chance you already gaining decent amount but because of that emotion you think you can earn more, not hypnotized but the adrenaline that you wanted to keep satisfying your lust, though it's a hard learning experience once you lose a lots of money certain amount that you are not willing to let go.

You need to control by any means to prevent taking that route to lose more money.

Sticking to rules after setting them requires a lot of discipline especially when you are actively gambling,  at that point,  you actually don't have the time to really check back at your rules but execution,  so at that point if you ha e got the discipline much before then, it just turns out you stick to the rules while on the game and still gamble alongside.  And for almost every time.e we fail to follow these lay down rules,  we see ourselves having to battle  with the consequences that come out resulting from our negligence.

Obviously just like supermarkets and other businesses, the casino business takes their customer' psychology very seriously. All those lights and sounds are not just random. They are meant to target your brain in specific ways to get you to spend more money.

But for them to have a way to manipulate or hypnotize your mind? I doubt it.

Learning experience as they say will come to these gamblers that are uncontrollable. And they will only have that when they have no more money to bet for.

But the hard headed once, those that never give up will continue to gamble and will make themselves comfortable and in favor by being positive thinkers.

They'll have an optimistic mindset that everything can be recovered if they continue and will even more winnings if they do so.

If they are already decided, they cannot control the urge anymore. They'll become more addicted and bound to lose more.

Some casinos are even trying as much as possible to make sure that gamblers gamble with in limit while on their platform because it is a part of regulations to make sure to enlighten gamblers about the possibilities of gambling addiction and how to avoid that from happening and such their set some limits if they notice that the gambler actions are suspicious of being possible addiction influence and their quickly halt the gambler activities to protect them from becoming victims of addictions, so I don't know why ops will say that casino design games that player hypnotized for any reason even though their are out to make profits as a business.

I just passed through this experience tonight and reading your post, it was as if I wrote this. Casino games are actually funny and can mess with your mind so much. I made a deposit and decided to just test some slot games but before I knew it, I had lost 70% of my deposit. I was filled with regrets because I never played to spend more than 10% of my deposit on that game. Just when I wanted to give up, I decided to change the provider and tried another game and book I was up and very close to my capital, although still at net loss. I had to stop myself for that moment, maybe later I will trying the game that made me win.

More than likely, it is for entertainment and not to worry about time. Because if you are enjoying what you are seeing, you won't notice the time of the day or how much time has passed. So if you don't want to get into trouble, better bring money that you can really spend and lose in that session. So once your bankroll is depleted, it means, you need to get out of that establishment and call it a day. Otherwise, if you will just deposit more and have no boundaries with your financials, you will surely lose your way and won't notice the time of the day.

Something like that happened to me too at university, but what I really liked about that teacher was her huge ass, I think that made me fall in love with it, although I went to her classes I didn't have to, she was in Computer Science and I was in Electronics and although she taught programming I took advantage of going in alone with her, although I did pass that subject I had problems with the real professor because he told me he never saw me during the semester, I had to show my student card and ID, only then did he believe me, after I left university I looked for her and told her everything, in fact I had a relationship with her for like 3 years, that was one that was hypnotized with pleasure lol, but in the casino it's a different thing, there you can't trust anything.

I think there’s a greed in your heart that tells you to go more even it’s not practical. It means that your emotions can easily be controlled by the platform. Actually, even without the attractive gambling platform, you’re easily attracted by the platform because ain’t practical enough to stop it even if you won already the game. You didn’t even care if you’ve surpassed the allotted amount for gambling.
