I wonder about this because I remember a few years ago playing a triple jackpot I dreamed of, in the old-school lottery, the one where you only bet on a number of 001:999, something similar to the Daily 3 or Pick 3 in the United States. I don't know if these types of games still exist today, but I clearly remember that the time I bet on that winning number was the first and last time I bet on that lottery. I know it was pure luck. Besides, the odds weren't unreasonable; 1/1000 is something that could happen.

For this same reason, despite having been very lucky that day, I never tried again. There was no stimulating factor that would lead me to try betting on that lottery again. So I assume the winnings don't constitute a large enough percentage of the stimulant to make someone become a gambler overnight.

I think it must be an accumulation of stimulating factors that make certain types of bets seem attractive to us, based on our personal tastes.

What do you think?

Yes. It's simple math.

You winning more money, you bet more money and losing with the big money you are winning will ecourage you to deposit more and bets more or even bigger due the losses. It's basic math, mostly is like that.

Even my self, doing these.

Sometimes having a lucky win can be very scary, you know how slim the chances are of winning especially when it's a big odd, for some people winning from such might be a trigger to continue gambling while others might decide to take a break. As for me whenever I win I always slow it down for a while because I know that there's a high chance of losing everything my profit if I'm not careful

I actually quite prefer the odds of the lottery and lean towards it as my main form of gambling - simply because the odds are astronomical and so is the reward. I don't see much point in placing 1.2x bets to turn ten dollars into $12 at the risk of losing it all. It would take five of those bets to double my money and you just know that's an unsustainable level of risk to reward. If I am going to throw away a few dollars, it will be on a game that has the chance of a sky high reward, even if I have as much chance as finding a briefcase full of money falling off the back of a truck. I actually equate it to "buying a dream" because I go to bed without checking the ticket and for a few minutes imagine all the things that might be possible to buy with the millions that a jackpot winner would get. It's a form of peace and happiness, even if it evaporates the next day after checking the numbers.

Yes, it's somewhat help for a gambler to gambler more after a win, especially on what we call, beginner's luck, then you know the next phase, lose after losses until it becomes chasing lose and end up shit at the very end. Of course it can be alter, depends on the gambler's behaviour and controls, but most probably this is what always happens.

As I think of it, yes winning would boost my confidence and I might go with larger and riskier bets in the future. When I have more money to gamble, I'd surely gamble often. Losses are not much different they'd also encourage me to gamble in a bad way but it does. The difference is if I lose huge, I might be out of gambling for days or even months but that would not be the case for large wins.
The thing that stops people on loss is the lack of bankroll to bet but when you have wins, you have a larger bankroll to play with and it would may last longer if you stuck with your initial strategy.

According to what I have experienced while gambling, if I win this week, I will withdraw, but later fund my gambling account next week to gamble again. It can repeat like that but things will change when I start to lose. I noticed that I will become not frequent while gambling when the losses start. It is normal for winning in anything and not only just while gambling to motivate people to do that thing more that brings the money such as gambling but losses would likely be the end result.

If I were to win the lottery I'd also proceed to not bother with it ever again. I don't participate in lotteries etc because I believe it's a waste of time and money, the chances of winning are extremely minor, you're more likely to he hit by a thunderbolt than win. Thus, I'd prefer less rewarding options such as regular casino games or sports betting where it's way more likely to win, but the amount is significantly less, but I'm totally okay with that, I don't chase extravagant gains.

In most cases, winnings do encourage to gamble more. However, your case probably is unique since you started playing on low winning chance rate that probably gives you the idea that you can’t win again if you try again after winning your first try.

This thinking of yours might be change if you play a fast phase game such as slot games and won a huge amount. The excitement on the game plus huge win are the killer combo of the casino to attract player to play more.

Also, your personal belief play an important role with this matter.

It is just your habit, you are not a hardcore gambler.

You won at your first trial and you refused to trying again because your winning was little amount, Nah, you don't gamble.
A hardcore gambler will repeat it again and again untill he wins big or he lost all out because winning brings out the beast in you to trying more in order to win more.

That's how it is.

You don’t even need to be a hardcore to keep trying to gamble over and  over again because human greediness will make us pursue more winning once we taste a profit.

On OP case, probably he has a good self control or he doesn’t want to gamble by virtue that’s why he stop immediately after his first try.

Gambling games is so addictive and it’s designed to make player go greedy to play more.

I think for some people winning in gambling can't make them gamblers overnight, but for some it can be a trigger for them to become gamblers, because we know that it starts from a desire to try, and eventually becomes a habit, and this is not only in gambling, but in various things. Basically, every human being feels very happy when they get money, and when we talk about someone who wins in gambling, then it makes them feel happy and lucky, so I think for most people that's what drives someone to start it. Personally, I used to be a gambler who was driven by winning when I started trying it.

I think you can read this explanation article about it: responsiblegambling.org - The Science Behind Gambling  (https://responsiblegambling.org/for-the-public/about-gambling/the-science-behind-gambling/)

Winning is the biggest motivation for me and that is how i should be for most gamblers. On the other hand, losing is a direct source of discouragement and frustration. I don't think there will be anyone still highly motivated in doing anything that does not produce result and a sense of satisfaction. I usually monitor my luck level and when it is high, I tend to gamble more often and when it changes too and losses begin to happen, I reduce my gambling frequency.

For games like that it’s usually just a one time thing for some people, they just want to know what it feels like to win something like that especially lottery. I have also played some games and after my first win I never went back to those games again - but when that topic comes up I’m always active telling people that I have won there before.

But the same isn’t for sport betting, for sport betting the winnings do encourage you to gamble more. Before I came across this topic I actually asked a question in altcoinstalks and looking back at this topic and my question, I  think this post actually answered my question. I asked for the reason why some gamblers, despite the fact that they know about “gamble with what you can afford to lose” still go on and bet with huge amount and I think it’s because of their wins; the wins have made them overconfident in their prediction ability and now they think they can pull it off again and win an even bigger amount by increasing their bet.

Same here, I often have this mindset that the best thing to do after hitting a big win would be to first retreat for a few days before gambling again, reasons because I usually feel like the casino must've noticed my win and might be keeping an eye on me, seeking for an opportunity to take back what they've given me, and this makes me super careful by retreating and focusing on different sources of recreation.
Again, huge wins usually releases some sort of dopamine in a gambler and opens their mind to endless possibilities of winning even more wins and as we already know, this can potentially lead to unintended losses.

Of course they encourage one to gamble more which is why we have so many records of gambling addicts, it's very simple when you try something and you made it you'll definitely want to give a try again and again depending if your making a gain or a loss,so when you feel encourage or motivated by a win you'll want to repeat the process though this depends and varies among gsmblers cause some may tend to fall for it while the rest do otherwise.

Not motivated but eager to revenge gambling just to recover his losses. Losing frequently sometimes is what makes gambler to play since they are aiming to win back part of their lose which is hard to achieved on gambling with house edge.

Same here, Winning is my reason why I gamble again frequently while I skip day or longer whenever I encounter a loss.

It’s hard for me to keep gambling after being down.

Logically, the winning factor will encourage us to continue playing, yes, but it depends on the game we play. If the lottery game seems less challenging, maybe in a slot game or sports betting we get a big win, our brain will definitely encourage us to continue playing.

Your first short was a lucky one and you were smarter that the casino to have work away, is easier to walk away when you have low winning, but not when you hit a jackpot, this is where and when we can say you be facing a high temptation to gamble more.


The math there is simply that, when you have luck at your side, if you had wagered higher amount you could have won big amount also, since the luck is there, regardless of the amount in wagering you win eventually.

If we can remember, casinos welcome us with a win. That's something that put in our minds that we could still win more. Greed exists, and I don't want to say it was a trap. But can't deny the fact that many gamblers become addicted after experiencing some winnings.

The casinos want every gambler to gamble more. They will keep coming back despite losses, believing that they can make it again.

It is an effective strategy, and gamblers found themselves irresponsible due to their wrong mindset and approaches.

It also depends on individual point of experience, winnings and losses can encourage any gambler to gamble frequently. Most gamblers who lose frequently hardly wants to return back to gambling, frequent winnings encourages the mind to try once again maybe maintain being lucky for another time, frequent winning is a stimulant to gamble often in my own ruling.

I usually get motivated when I win. This motivation does not imply that I will have to start chasing profits; I think this is where some people are getting it wrong. The motivation here means I can return subsequently to gamble again if I have to. Only bad experiences can make me stay away from gambling. Apart from addicted gamblers and problem gamblers who are chasing losses to recover all they've lost, I don't think anyone gets excited to gamble more when they are losing.

I agree with you. A lot of gambler will continue gambling when they are winning because they want it to continue like that. I could remember that there was a certain time when I was on a losing streak throughout that week. I stopped gambling for two weeks in order to feel good again and forget about my consecutive losses. However, assuming I was winning, I wouldn't have gone on break. Everybody like money and nobody will say that's enough.

you just so happen to be responsible but a lot of people may be more vulnerable to being addicted in gambling when they win or even if they just get close to winning it makes them want to keep going for more
i agree that it’s an accumulation of factors including how you are as a person like how mature you are and responsible you are stuff like that

I think that you are overthinking it... which is normal, we all do it. Do you think that helps? Do you think that the final result has anything to do with our opinions/feelings/desires, no matter how big and strong they are?

It's up to us to place a bet, and with a little luck, we might win. Our thoughts/feelings/desires will sometimes coincide with the result, we will often be very close, and total disasters will happen occasionally. The longer you gamble, the more you understand the volatility in gambling life... You can't be surprised so easily when you experience/survive so many situations, similar situations...

One of the main reasons on why I havent been able to buy up a lottery ticket. Why? because of that obvious reason on which the hitting chance is almost that near to impossible. Yes, there are those who do able to hit up but of course you would be needing all the luck in the world before you can be able to hit it up. It would be just that too impossible that you cant be able to determine those numbers. It is just that the jackpot prize pot is something that stimulates your interest and would be that the reason for you to get convinced on playing or making up some purchase of tickets because you do assume into your mind that you do able to hit up those combinations and already that thinking and imagining that you have win up that amount and buy all the things that you do want on which this is common for most who do bet on lottery. Even into those traditional or common situations about winning then it will be that pushing you to play even further because your mind would be telling you that if you do able to hit up then you can hit it up again and when your emotions do getting inline on what you have been thinking then you would definitely be doing it again and again until you would be losing it all. Regrets do always come at the end and this is the most common case for most gamblers because they are that tolerating out such greed then they will be thinking about on winning up into the next. For those who do able to make up some withdrawal and never look back and making use of those winnings into something which is worth, then we can be able to say that not all are that being greedy and there are still those who are that good when it comes to self control. It all matters about mentality and emotion control because once you do messed up then you cant be able to think up well and you would just that proceed on which it will be basing up into the situation. If you are winning, then you do aim for more winning because you will definitely be thinking that you could become rich if ever you do able to hit up more winnings ahead on which we know that it cant be possible when we do deal up with gambling.

These are psychological influences that can affect any player, even if they aren't addicted to gambling. These stimulants are the most important factors in influencing the gambler to continue playing and subsequently make more deposits of larger sums in the hope of winning as they did just now.

At the same time, it is important to note that this is not the most important motivator, because the most important element remains the degree to which the player remains mature and aware of the extent of the risk in following his desires without being bound by controls.

It depends on the figure, there are times were I win.am.average amount of money it becomes a stimulant for me to continue gambling because I feel like I need to get more until I realized that this was greed.. winning huge amounts of money makes me take a pause for a while, with huge wins comes huge losses so I'm always careful during such times... But all these doesn't really matter, you just have to keep it moderate

This is not subject to argument because winning is usually the goal and reason we gamble in the first place. When winning does not come,  it is seen as we are not doing well which is a sense of discouragement.  But when the winning keeps coming, then the motivation to do more comes naturally. Even when we gamble for entertainment,  there is still that great feeling that winning add to the entertainment.

I will speak from personal experience, when I place my bets I put it in my head that it is a lost bet, but when I win a bet it gives me more motivation for the next bet, because I am betting with the profit, if I win again, I am even more motivated for another bet. Now when I lose, I become unmotivated, because it means that my bankroll will be smaller and when all my money that is in the bookmaker runs out I will have to stop betting for a while.

You have to know that everybody is not like you we have difference in individual that you can't go back to betting after you win a bet doesn't mean that other will do the same thing with you because the fact is that winning is a big stimulant that makes people to continue going back to gambling

Although if gambling is not your thing but you find yourself making a bet but luckily for you, you were able to win the bet, you might not become a gambler just like that. The thing is that if you allowed the winning to get to your mind and you finally become greedy because of the money you have won You will lose more and become addicted in the future. Because am a gambler, if I win in a game I will keep on trying it until I start losing before I stop it.

Actually, winning encourage me to continue to wager money because I believe I am having some kind of good luck streak which I am supposed to take advantage of, even though deep in the inside I know it is all subjective and it is just matter of time the house edge gets to work and I slowly start to lose what I managed to accumulate in a single session.

So the simple answer is yes, winning prompts me to continue to gamble and that is the same reason there are so many people out there who lose money in their sessions, they get too greedy and they do not withdraw in time. Actually, this is an extensive topic we have talked about before, on when it is appropriate for a gambler to quit and when it is not.

We could argue that, it does not matter whether one makes money and withdraw, since eventually we all will go back to the casino to continue gambling and the edge of the house will get things done for the casino and slowly drain our bankroll.

Yea some people gamble more whenever they are wining because winning always give a vibe that if you are not careful all the profit or money one make can be used up and later they will start regretting and even say a lots of negative things about gambling or betting while they didn't do the right thing. Every gambler ought to gamble moderately because if you don't gamble responsibly or moderately, a lot of things are involved. However, it is very wise and it is a nice decision to stop gambling whenever you have win a lot of money.

If you're into gambling without proper knowledge, then the winnings will be a stimulant that keeps you hopeful. We keep trying unless we lose everything, and some go beyond the limits of borrowing. When we win, we need to learn to take a break. What we do is we go for high-value bets, and sometimes it'll be a win, and sometimes it may be a loss. If it's a loss, we'll increase the bet to recover what we have lost in the previous bet. If the previous bet has won, we'll be confident to go for high-value bets. This way, in one way or another, winning too is a trigger point when we don't have a plan for our gambling activities.

I think it depends on the frequency you win. When you have 1 chance in 1000 to win, it's not that stimulant, because the chances are slight and your brain knows about it. However, when we are talking about many instant bets where you can define how much winning chance is going to be, things get more interesting and exciting.

That is how this crypto gambling industry begun through dice game fever. It was heavily stimulant to roll the dice as we could see profit being made instantly and in a regular basis. That is extremely addictive for our brains.

The more often you win, more you want to continue winning, despite it being a low or high prize. That is my take on this matter.

Instead of scary why not use the phrase over exciting. This mostly happens to beginner's in gambling, especially when they have their first win/big wins. The excitement kicks in, with no one to guide them, they will be triggered to start betting impulsively. From my experience, wining often in gambling, gives you a much higher chance of gambling again, because you are on profit so you have the mentality that you are gambling with the profit you make not the capital thus you still have more money in your bankroll.

We don't win lottery more often so if you had already won and did the math then you decided that you got further less chance to win again and decided not to do it, even though it's not an intentional decision still our mind can work in mysterious ways. ;)

In general, more you win then you will be happy to bet more as long as you are winning because in gambling if you starts winning the amount will be big that will tempt anyone to gamble again and again, so play with moderation and don't lose your self-control whether it's a win or loss.

I like your mechanism of preventive gambling measures, having the ability to decide to withdraw when there is a win and staying away for a while week before gambling again is something that will ease your mental pressure of the previous week and also reduce your level of risk of losing your won amount and also reduce the level of anxiety that you face also, what I don't support is you withdrawing everything then depositing back again when you want to play again the next week.

It's different for every person, and it's based on the game he is playing. I understand if it's a lottery due to the odds, and it's challenging to do it again, but in casinos and sports betting, winning can encourage you to push your luck and gamble frequently.
Winning is a significant motivator for gambling, just as losing can cause some people to quit.

Winning will in fact make you to want to gamble more and also to risk more than what you do risk in a bet because of the big returns you’ve won. The stimulant to continue to bet often happens more when a player gets lucky to win the game again and again, forgetting that a game of luck does not function that way and will still make you to lose when luck is not on your side anymore.

As a gambler, facing a lot of loss will definitely make you lose interest and not seem attractive to try your luck more and more on a particular game. Losses breeds more displeasure in the game and will want to make you limit your losses when it becomes prevalent. Only a gambler without proper risk management won’t feel bad when losing money in gambling consistently.

If money is strictly a motivation for gambling, you will be focused on trying to win something to be encouraged to gamble more often. When you do not win, you may take it more seriously than someone who is merely gambling for fun. While, if you are gambling for fun, your encouragement to gamble does not come from either your loss or win, you are maintaining a budget and simply gambling because it's an activity that you have another benefit from other than the financial gain that is possible also.

Sometimes what lead to such confusion and heavy loses in the end is that, those newbie gambler who witnessed a few early lucks will always be thinking that they are special or have even developed a way to win constantly and this assumption lead them into gambling continuously and looking away from their losses in the end which becomes worst with time.

Believe it or not, winning actually contributes the majority of the stimulants when it comes to gambling. It is also why, after winning, people become drawn to gambling or, in the worst case, become addicted, it's just that it doesn't affect different people the same way. There are people that doesn't really get the urge to gamble again even after winning a lot of money, and there are people who do get affected and get the urge to gamble again when they win, just to try their luck again.

You’re right, gambling circle has always been like this, I’m glad to see something different from the op meanwhile winning a bet or lottery always give a gambler the confidence to try another chance probably if care is not taken few intend to bet again using an extra money including the profit won from the casino immediately. It’s so wrong but, how can one stop the confidence that comes with winning a bet frequently, aside the fact op habit is different obviously other games can still lure op to bet more.

Winnings, regardless of its amount, will always lead you to gamble more and make more money. That’s why in gambling, some are given beginner’s luck because once they experience winnings on their bet, they will aim to increase their bet so they can double or triple the profits, not knowing that it’s all just a trap so in the end, they all lose their winnings including their capital.

Honestly, let's be honest, not hypocritical, when we finally get a win, there will definitely be a feeling of satisfaction and a strong desire to bet again and again, because we feel so confident that luck will be on our side. I often experience this.

Luckily, once again, I have someone who can control me in terms of gambling. So, reluctantly, I immediately stopped gambling after winning, and held it back to continue the next day (because I have a daily fund limit to bet on.  ;D ;D

I wouldn’t say it does encourage me to gamble often but, it sure does give me the free hand to try out gambling even when I didn’t plan on doing so. That’s to say, I’m always open to allowing the gambling site to cut in on some of those wins you know, they sure do get the chance to win some of the money back but, never all of it, nope. I make sure I spend some do those won money on just anything that comes to mind. I’ll like to see what I would do with a huge win when I get that though, it’s just been distancing itself from me and that’s so uncool.

It depends on what game, since he said it's a 3-digit lottery. I bet on this, but I only win once.
Usually the 3 digit that I bet came from the birthday dates of my kids or mine. I only bet on the 3-digit lottery when the birthday of my kids or mine is coming. I do bet daily until the birthday ends.
If I am lucky enough to hit that 3-digit lottery and win, I'm satisfied. I might bet again, but I don't have a strong desire to bet and bet again. To me, I just bet again just to thank you, meaning that would be my last. I would bet again on the next birthday. I'm not sure why I do this as a habit, but my father does the same.

I believe it's a natural thing for every human to be encouraged to do more when they experience some winnings in their endeavor. But, when it comes to gambling, the first intention and plan set before playing the game should be top priority and main focus, or rather, the encouragement gained from the game through constant winning.

It depends on how big the jackpot is really to the brain of the customer.  If it is life changing money and there are no other opportunities to get there, then it may seem attractive even if you lost years in a row.  That is because you know that if you win, it will change your life.  But even the opposite is true, you can find a particular type of lottery attractive if the chances are better while the winnings are way smaller.  You win every few days, it makes it seem like the bigger win comes closer to you now.  It is all about whether the winnings are attractive or not for the chance you get.

I think it's 50/50, someone would have heard about gambling and they just wanted to experience the thrill of how easy/hard it is to make money off gambling,  after a win some do comeback because of that inner greed a human has ..then others don't comeback if they feel the time and risk isn't worth it.

But naturally 3/5 players that try gambling 🎰 for the first time and win will surely comeback to try replicate that mini victory  ::)

It’s really the love of the game. Personally, I’ve had more losses than wins  and yet I’m still gambling. In a way, I even find it more fulfilling when you go through a tough losing streak and then suddenly hit a big win. That kind of challenge makes it more satisfying.

We all know we’re not going to win in the long run, and accepting that is part of the mindset. When you reach that point, you’ve probably already absorbed the true meaning of gambling  which is entertainment. Because if you’re not enjoying it, then there’s really no point in doing it at all.

For me, even a single win can make you greedy and think you can always do it. You start feeling confident, even though you know that every day isn’t a lucky day. Of course, it depends on the person and their mentality. If they have a strong mind, they won’t fall for it so easily. But a win is still a win, areason to come back again and again. It fuels the desire for more, and we all know being content isn’t exactly in most gamblers nature, not all, but a lot of them.

Winning in gambling can encourage some people to gamble often. Their greediness will become high and think that they still have their luck and win more. But if they don't think that there is no guarantee they can win more in the next rounds, they will not risk their win money to gamble more. They will stop gambling and cashout the money and enjoy it without think about the next rounds.

We need to hold ourselves not to gamble often especially after winning. We can not get the same winning like before because this is gambling which never let us to win much money very often.

You may be right about the stimulation of certain types of games that make gamblers motivated to continue betting. It is not only the winnings that make gamblers finally decide to bet and play the same game. Like in sports betting, there must be a motivation related to the hobby of the related sport that makes gamblers continue to bet.
In casino games, maybe the winnings obtained can be a motivation for gamblers to continue playing. Like slots that give wins at the beginning and make gamblers want to continue playing slots.

Your statement is beautiful, buying the tickets to "buy a dream", in fact the probability of winning is practically the same.
The feeling is beautiful to buy the ticket go to bed and before falling asleep dream about what you could do,
the hope of a change or maybe of making a wish come true.
I also really like this type of bet, low investment, low probability but stratospheric winnings.

Of course, winning always affects our mood and usually helps us maintain the spirit of the game, allowing us to continue playing. I think that this happens to many, but I always keep in mind that it is unlikely that I will always win, and if the next games do not go as desired, I stop playing. However, a positive attitude will motivate me, which is not to say that it will always work out, and I may lose more than I would like. Therefore, attention and understanding that gambling is a rest, not earnings, is the best stimulant to return to games, but there should always be reasonable limits on the time spent playing.

Yea, I gree with you that a single win can make a gambler to become very greedy, I think people should understand what gambling is, it takes a high level of descipine for a gambler to win without wanting to go for more, am very happy that you stated some fact can never be left behind, winning a bet or any gambling stuff at all comes with a different mindset, when some gamblers win they have this mindset that that's the right time to gamble more because they feel that before the amount they have won will get exhausted, they would've win even more than they have won but what they forget to understand is that such may be a trap and again gambling does not work like that, I think your conclusions are right.

I think that you are correct. Winning would leave a good memory and will want you to return asking for more because you want to experience that same feeling of winning over and over again. It is a stimulant that when not control becomes very addictive search that it can drive you to continue gambling even when there is a loss because you just want to feel that winning Sensation.  Which is why we continue to advocate for responsible gambling all the time.

When I was new to gambling, the winnings I got were something that made me happy and excited, there was a desire to pursue a bigger win when I had won before. I think everyone who gambles must have experienced something like this, it would be too hypocritical if they didn't admit it. In addition, when I managed to win and managed to withdraw it indirectly, this made me feel confident that in the future I could win again and again, but I forgot that gambling depends on luck with its winnings so it is impossible to always win, especially since we know that the chances of winning in gambling tend to be lower than the chances of losing.

I would take it that lottery isn't your thing, else you would've returned to chase your luck even more starting from that very day you won.

Having a great win stimulates not only the person who secured the wins, but any other person around him, especially if you tasted the winning money with the gambler ;D

I had a friend who detested gambling and always advised me against it. Boom, one day I won about $900+ and pleaded with him to accompany me go get the funds which he agreed and we went, claimed the money and I gave him around $20 tip. Long story cut short, within a little while he started developing interest until he even gambles more than me and we were addicted at the same time.

He keeps blaming me that the tip I gave him that night bewitched him and stimulated him to start gambling, something he detested earlier ;D

It's probably connected to what experts call "predisposition to gambling". And apparently you don't have it at all. It's just that for many problem gamblers, it's the first easy big win that becomes the beginning of the ladder down to a serious addiction.
Well, congratulations on being truly resilient, because the words "I wish I had never won in the beginning" belong to those who have lost a lot of money in gambling.

I’m not a problem gambler but I do start my interest on gambling by winning big using a small bankroll back when I still exploring online casino.

This positive experience makes me interested to play more due to fun it can give whenever I win. I have a full control on my gambling session and never have an addiction problem.

It’s up to user mindset on how can they handle the effect of their big win.

In theory Yes, winning deeper into online gambling sites, looks more interesting, but I once asked my friend when they won the jackpot.
Do you want to double or bet in large quantities in other games.
The answer is 'no' the answer is simple, one full month I bet and paid never to win the jackpot, this I just felt a big victory, withdraw all the money and left.

From the experience that has happened to the big victory/jackpot of thought back to each individual.

Winning encourages me to gamble and I can say it without any doubt that even my friends and a lot of gamblers are stimulated because of the winning they make from gambling or the thought they have in their head that they will win more money when they are gambling. Apart from those that claim that they are not gambling because they want to make money, maybe they will not be stimulated by winning but something else like the fun they want to have while winning is just not a major factor for them.

  why not put it this way -- you've had a better Oriental discipline that big wins don't encourage you to gamble often regardless... There's at least an 85% chances a gambler who played and won would always want to try again. Especially, if the first impression didn't cost him a lot before the wins.
What are these stimulating factors -- if you don't mind, could you list them out for us to learn with you?
  What I think? Well, I don't overthink on simple matters like this. The first and only important reason why we gamble is for the cash, every other thing falls under the secondary factors like you said. It's not rocket science!

In my case, what motivates me most to bet is soccer, as it's a sport I truly enjoy, and also the game of billiards. Although I don't feel addicted to gambling, I recognize that when money or some type of bet is involved, it triggers an extra level of excitement, regardless of how high the sum is.

I believe there are several factors that can influence how much betting stimulates us, including:

The degree of passion for the game or sport in question.

The lifestyle you lead. If your routine is somewhat sedentary, betting can become a fast track to getting that dopamine rush we usually get in social settings or when we go to the gym.

The feeling of winning.

And finally, competition or the desire to outdo others.

I don't know if I'm right, but I think that betting alone is not enough to create a routine and that there must be a combination of certain factors to become a repeat player.

It's an endless cycle of repeated events, the more you win the more you want to keep playing. But overtime I had to instill the habit of giving it a break after winning because I know what might come next if I continue. This is what gambling is all about you win and lose, the only way your profits can be utilized is when you take a long break after winning. The ones that truly win from gambling are those that stop totally after winning

Not everyone gambles like this, winning encourages you to gamble more because that's greed controlling you... it's human nature to give into such temptations, I used to get too comfortable when I'm on a winning streak, it makes me want to deposit more and keep pushing my luck but experience has taught me a lesson, you need to be more careful when you are winning, if possible lock your account after winning

This is true, started to bet small at first and making win, feeling lucky your bets will go higher and still wining and that is fun and good  as you can gain from it.
as you are on the top betting  bigger thatn usual you will experience defeat. you will  bet more as you think yo will hit bigger and get what you lose.
But you will just  start to bet bigger and  lose more. Its a trap!

I don't think this is a fact and just your own assumption, winnings motivate me to continue and so do all the gamblers I met, we have two goals why we are betting and these are to have fun and make money if there is an opportunity,
the main factor that activates your dopamine is being rewarded for something you did.

Although winnings are not something you expect when you expect and this is one of the main goals, I have never seen a gambler who is not excited about his winnings It is the materialization of his desires, it's a motivating factor for him to continue.

So why are we chasing our losses and analyze and do a research on our bets if winning is not something that motivates, even if we are motivate to play for fun still in the back of our mind we are thinking and hoping to win money, I agree its for every gamblers preferences there are gamblers who play for the sake of playing but I can assume that majority of gamblers are motivated to win money.
I have been into a cockpit arena and horse racing betting stations and even lottery and the excitement of thinking that they can hit the jackpot encourages them to do better in their bet.

That takes a few big hits to the stomach before you actually get it right and realize the temporary lack of awareness and caution can destroy your life.  Locking the account up after winning, I really wonder how many people do this.  It seems like something that is least likely to happen after a win.

Fund management is the first thing to do.  You won?  Withdraw the chunk and play the rest.  But even that is very hard to follow by a lot of people.  Unfortunately, like I previously said, before gambling one really needs to make sure they are mentally there.  If you end up gambling in the middle of an unstable mental state, you crash really easy.

I agree with you that winning will always be in the mind of a gambler despite that he's playing fof fun.  However, profit shouldn't be our focus and target because it will make one incur more losses. If you are gambling for fun and we win your bet, that will make your enjoy the fun more.

In whatever activities that we partake in, it's better for you to bring out the best in you even when gambling because you don't know if your strategy can give you a big win.

That's right mate, gambling with the mindset of getting reworded from it will eventually make you lose more money. For a better way of gambling, it's better to gamble with the intention of entertainment than making money because that way, you will enjoy the fun. Although, you will enjoy the fun more when you begin to win. All gamblers want to see themselves win but the fact that you keep on gambling when you have the free time and the amount you can't afford to lose, one day you will also win.

The moment you start to win, that’s when you should start being strategic with your betting because if you allow the wins to for to your brain - you’ll start to increase your bet like you said and if you make any mistake that leads to a lose of bet; you’d lose more than you’ve been winning because of the increment of your betting amount.

This is actually related to my previous response to this thread, where users tend to have more confidence in their bet and as a result of such confidence they’ll start to increase their betting amount and a single loss would clear up all the profits they had from several wins.

Any action that brings us positive emotions is recorded in our memory as something we can repeat regularly. This applies to absolutely everything. The experience of a successful game will definitely bring us back to the game, but there must be an understanding of what we are doing. If we soberly assess the chances of winning, and once we get it, we form a positive experience, which cannot be said about losses. Here, everything is just the opposite. If we play and do not get either good emotions or profit, is it not reasonable to stop this activity? Going ahead in gambling seems madness. Simply accepting the fact that gambling is not for everyone is the conclusion of common sense.

Casinos wanted to make every gambler feel the urge to win more. That is why they let new gamblers win in their early days and make them think that there is more to come. Just like what you said, there is always a pursuit because it appears in their mind that it is easy to win here. Unfortunately, every day is not always a good day for us.

That is why we should not fall in love with gambling because the moment we fall into addiction, the harder it is to control ourselves.

Yes. It's the desire to feel the win again after getting a high multiplier. That happened to me, and I still cannot stop thinking about all the high multipliers that I won. I can still remember them all up until now, even though it happened many months ago. It's like it's all fresh for me.

This is one of the reasons why the gambling business is growing. They know that a person cannot just go away even after a big win. They will come back for more, that's for sure. There are no losses if you are the gambling business owner, but a gambler will lose. Imagine doing it every day and just getting one high multiplier after spending way too much. That's what makes us lose because of our greed.

There is no way that one will not be encouraged to win more when gambling, mainly at the initial stage.when you begin to win consistently, most persons gamble in other to win in as much as we say gambling is for fun, but as soon as you win with a particular strategy, you will be tempted to use that same strategy to see if you are going to win again, and if successful, you start enjoying the wins and increase the amount you use in gambling in other to have a bigger wins, and that is why when we see gamblers that often win, we want to know how and what ways they adopt to make them successful, and tat is why we respect people like that and get fond of winners no body wants to be a loser or associates himself with losses .

When you win, most times you are always very happy with yourself and it  boosts your confidence, motivates you and makes you to reinforce and brings out various types of skills in you.
Winning encourages and brings out the best in you.

Right and that is the strategy that casinos have to keep gamblers in the game by showing everything that is tempting at the beginning which indirectly brainwashes gamblers to misunderstand what and how gambling really is like feeling that winning there is easy as you mentioned above.

So when a beginner comes without bringing any knowledge about gambling then they will definitely end up like that because of the misunderstanding that underlies every action and decision, it all starts from high hopes which in the end when they win they will become more addicted and when they lose they will become more curious, there is no self-control, all there is is emotion and regret.

Surely that depends on individual differences, if your wining does not constitute a large enough percentage to become gambler overnight does not mean that it is applicable to all. Everyone has their stimulating factor which could be win or lose. But I believe you are the type that is not moved by win or lose. Will I say you are a responsible gambler who doesn't want to be moved to gamble more despite any condition.

I tend to agree with this, lol.
I recently remembered when I was gambling in a scatter game, which seems like the slot games that are very common here in my country.  
This positive feeling serves as a powerful boost to your confidence and motivates your belief in your own abilities.  It feels as though your brain is rewarding you for your efforts, encouraging you to keep pushing and striving.  While playing again, you keep hoping that you will win once more. ;D

But if you limit yourself, this will amount to nothing, and you will easily avoid this kind of stimulant.

It would take time to be a gambler. But it is quite easy to be hooked up with the games as most of them are quite entertaining and would consume your time if you are chasing your losses. So it is a challenge for a gambler to contain himself once he got his interest on this game.

Totally agree with this, because I myself is an example of this. Once I win a coupon I become so excited and carried away that I start feeling like one guru in predicting game. I use them use the same pattern and start analysing various games based on how I had previously played it when I won. But the sad reality is that, gambling doesn't care about your emotions or how much you've won or lost. I find out that I do lose everything I won and more, yes, once I win it encourages me to gamble more but it doesn't end well.

sometimes unfortunately it’s really just luck at the end

even if they use the same strategy it still doesn’t work because it was never about the strategy before so they may want to share this “strategy” but without luck no one can recreate their win

I think a little diferently... I believe that every gambler is motivated by a small winners in order to have more motivation to continue playing with regularly, and it does not need to be a big prizes for that.

I see that casinos, whether physical or online, allow us to have small wins occasionally to keeping us motivated and with that feeling of "next time the prize will be biggest", but without us realizing it our money is completely drained.

I don't see this as a bad thing, if its demonstrably fair... the game was made to keep us entertained and they do it very well. So it is the player's duty not to let themselves be consumed by this desire and to manage their finances wisely.

Playing the lottery is not like playing normal gambling games, I myself will never play the lottery again if by luck, I play it and win once, this is because before the win came, one must have played it for a very long time, so the winning is almost like a way to make up for all the money you have previously lost to the game, so when the win come, you feel if you continue to play, it will take you a long time again to win if at all you will even ever win again, so best thing is to quit at that very moment of the win.

This is not the same thing as playing slot and other gambling games like casino games and sports betting, a win in slot can cause the gambler to keep playing more because this is a very fast game, he or she feels he or she could win even more, it takes having a strong self control to not allow your winnings cause you to gamble more.

That's how we are being controlled, and maybe you are right specially in online casinos, if they see that you might be a new account and so they do make us win and feel that everything is good and that we can replicate our winnings.

So there might not be a good answer to the OP, still up to the individuals on how they are going to response. As this is a human stimulus, so others might react different if we are in the positive or losing a lot of money already.

The thing I feel when I get a win is clearly wanting to get a bigger one, but that must be defeated by the awareness of winning in gambling which is a matter of luck so withdrawing winnings is one of the best ways to do. withdrawing the winnings directly or continuing, I have done both but for the most frequent I can't be sure, it's just that what is clear is that defeat is something that often happens more often than victory.
In addition, I think almost everyone who likes to gamble is the same, when they win they definitely have the thought of wanting to get a bigger win and the option that is done is to continue gambling.

It depends. Small wins surely do not encourage you to gamble more as they are not relevant in making you feeling really good or enthusiastic. It is a totally different thing for example when you hit it big and hit the max win with a substantial bet, that surely makes you feel the euphoria and you are by default enthusiastic when such things happen. Normally you will see a lot more often small wins and extremely rare will be the max win, no longer than yesterday night I was watching Youtube videos of streamers where one guy was so bored that he was losing a lot while in the end he hit a massive 750x multiplier with great bet and he forgot everything, claiming it was worthy waiting these years for such a wonderful max win.

It doesn't really make a big difference to me either. I’ve tried withdrawing my winnings, I’ve tried leaving them, and I didn’t notice any difference for myself. I’m quite capable of controlling myself and sticking to my limits, so for me, it doesn’t matter whether I keep the money in my wallet or on a deposit. I think the danger is there for those who know they might not be able to stop in time one day and lose everything in a single day. But if you have good discipline, then there’s no difference at all.

From your experience I believe that you will be a responsible gambler, you didn't continue on that type of lottery game because you won, you stopped simply because it didn't appeal to you anymore. Some gamblers would have continued because they won once, they will believe that they will continue to win and eventually they might exhaust all the money that they won. Gambling should be about the games that we love to play not necessarily for profits because it doesn't happen that way, you need luck to win whether you like a game or not. You don't need to like a job or business that you do, you can put up with it because you are getting paid but gambling is different, you wouldn't be handed wins because you love a game or not, you need luck to win.
