For some of us this might be a moment of reflection...

Many of us gamblers comes into the casino with different intentions, some visits for relaxation and fun, others for quick profits and others as a source of income(professional gambling).

We've seen some people who claimed to come gamble for fun and during the course of having fun they switched their intention from having fun to chasing profits.

We've also learned of those who came to chase little profits and things didn't go their way and they switch intention from chasing little profits to trying to recover their losses.

Some would say the desire to get more casino bonus enticed them and made them spend more time  on the casino.

The list can keep going on....

My question is what do you think are the reasons people who come to the casino with an earlier intention have a switch to a different one? maybe as it's applicable to you and how well did it end for you?

Finally, what would you propose as a solution to help weak-willed gamblers maintain their motive on the casino without deviating situationally?

I don't want to go into too much detail here, the simple answer is that the human mind is always changing and for this we will see that different trends are going on in the world at different times, and at the same time people like new things.

So in this case I would say that it is very normal for people to switch from one casino to another, but yes, those who switch casinos mainly because of greed and hoping for bonuses or jackpots are actually moving towards the stage of creating gambling addiction. Yes, it's not because gamblers don't change gambling sites, but I'll leave it under a normal process.

Maybe you missed the point, I was not talking about switching casinos, I was referring to a more logical aspect of being on a casino. Switching intentions, more like before engaging in a casino, you had in mind to gamble for fun and in the end you found yourself chasing profits. What are the reasons for such shift in intention while in the casino and how do we maintain our primary motives without diverting to another intention while on the casino

Switching intentions is normal in gambling, even if sometimes do switch but the most important thing is that we should always find our back to the intended form of our mindset after the session, so we don't make further wrong choices like making extra deposit which wasn't a planned from the beginning.  One of the reasons people switch intentions might be because of an enticing offer. For instance there was i day I log in to a casino and as I was about to make deposit I saw an offer to double my deposit if I increase my deposit to the designated one, so I did increase my deposit because I was having some extra cash, but to my greatest surprise I didn't get that bonus and that pissed me off

I'd say it's the same where it changes everytime where a person is gambling on a casino where let's say that he/she won a decent amount so instead of withdrawing the money but instead he/she still gambling to earn more money yet the results ended in losing it all and become frustrated because of losing it all due to greed. In other words, starting from fun and thrill became chasing profit because of greed.

Actually I don't think there's anything as professional gambling, because if you are good at something you won't expirence loses. However I can only switch my intentions as I gamble anytime I am on a losing streak. But switching intentions from gambling for entertainment to chasing your losses and making profits mostly end up losing more to gamble. So it's even better not to switch your intentions as you gamble. You just quit gambling when you see you losing too often.

I think this happens because we seek to feel what betting generates in us, the adrenaline or the sensation that the chemicals in our body spread when we bet, and generally if you change your focus on the game you are only choosing an excuse to seek that feeling, although winning money will almost always be the main reason why most bettors start in this world.

Firstly, Gamblers shouldn’t take gambling as a source of income, it just doesn’t make any sense..unless there’s a way to do that without gambling at all(still doesn’t  make any sense ;D)..

Gambling for fun has to be done without  expecting a return..so, it’s pretty much like playing without expecting any profit but yeah, it could occur and it’s even common, because they were never trying to to play for fun even though they thought they were actually gambling for fun..
There’s nothing like chasing  little profit imho, so it’s always about the money and that could result to chasing losses, it’s that easy :)

Well, the human mind is a complex organ, a lot can change during the course of your "gambling career". I remember myself starting with simply playing the crash game on Bustabit, then moved to other casinos and slowly expanded my options. Added Dice, Roulette, the "usual" casino games and eventually added others, such as CrazyTime. I then progressed to sports gambling, which is my main activity at the moment.

My point is that just because you start something, doesn't mean you'll always continue doing what you initally did. A major win in sports betting for instance may change your stance into believing that you could sustain a relatively steady income through it, the same applies to roulette, poker, you name it. This isn't necessarily "bad", but you need to be concious of what you're doing and why. I personally don't believe that you'll get far chasing money through gambling, but that's my opinion, it doesn't mean that I'm not after the money, but it's not my main goal, which is why my betting is also rather conservative.

Basically, a gambler or bettor has their own goals when gambling, and some of them are as you mentioned. However, it is important to realize that each of these goals carries risks, and the risk of loss is a major factor that can lead someone to other risks, including the risk of emotional changes, or switching intentions as you mentioned. I think emotional changes can lead a gambler to change their initial goal, which can result in losses or wins. I think this is an indication of irresponsible gambling, as they lack a strong foundation for wise gambling.

Well, I think this is all closely related to the goal of "revenge" for the comeback, and I strongly advise avoiding the desire for revenge, as it carries significant risks. So, I advise continuing to play wisely, whatever happens when gambling, do it responsibly.

For me, it's when a gambler, even if it's just for fun, starts winning, and thinks they've discovered a pattern, that they've found a way to beat the casino. Betting stops being just fun and becomes a source of profit. It's a turning point in their mind. We know there are successful people in the betting market (at least that's what they show). They start to think they'll be too.

Any advice? It's hard to give; we don't know exactly what someone is thinking. I'd say, keep having fun. If it's no longer fun, it's best to stop and find another activity, as you could end up addicted and suffering huge losses.

I don't know for sure because every player has different thoughts and different responses to the results of their game because in my opinion what they experience while playing is a strong reason for players to change their intentions.



Players must have good self-control, if they control themselves then their intentions will not change even if they see other players getting better results.

So, whether you are referring to online casinos or landbased casinos, one of the reasons which some people may not be thinking of is customer service. Your customers will face one issue or another as they use your casino and if you have a shitty customer service, they will leave. Even I will leave. And shitty customer service shows up in delay in response to a customers query, totally ignoring them, being rude and other attributes. While chatbots are replacing them, they can only go so far they need humans at the end to pick from the place where the chatbot can continue.

I never did go to casino yet, i never have that kind of attitude too when i'm already there, say, already in casino app/website that wants to play, i didn't think of backing out if i already deposit and started until i'm satisfied with the result regardless if its win or loss. It's a behaviour of mine to avoid getting regrets later on, cause god, i hate regrets lol.

I think many people change their minds because the emotion of the moment ends up speaking louder. Those who enter just for fun can be seduced by the idea of a quick profit, and those who enter seeking profits end up being carried away by the desire to recoup their losses. It's quite natural, because the casino plays a big role in our emotions.

In my view, the solution would be for each player to have a clear limit before starting, both in terms of time and money. If the idea is to have fun, then keep it that way without putting pressure on the outcome. But of course, maintaining this balance isn't easy when the adrenaline is high.

I remember Mike Tyson's saying, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Although he's apparently referring to boxing, I think this is also applicable here.

Everyone has a plan before going inside a casino. But everything goes out of the window as soon as one is in a losing streak or winning streak. As soon as the adrenaline hits, winning or losing takes effect, or the desire to win more or chase losses becomes strong, and so on, all plans are forgotten. I myself have lost track of time and expenses countless of times. When you're already absorbed in the game, it's very easy to forget all prior plans.

Does it work if you keep a company every time you go to a casino so that one can remind you of what you've initially planned?

To be sincere. Such gamblers' real intention in playing the game is never for fun, but they choose to hide under the guise of having fun through the game, all because they don't want to accept the fact and take responsibility for their actions.

Everything you stated is something an irresponsible gambler uses as an excuse for their addiction or immature gambling habit, when the house's benefits are always prioritized in every game, and the chance                    

People can change their intention to come to the casino anytime because that will depend on them. That can also happen to me where I can play in one or two casinos then move to the other casinos. No one can prohibit me from doing that because that will be up to me.

People will have many reasons to change their minds and move to other casinos. We will not know and they don't have to tell their reason. So it is better we just think of ourselves and choose the right casino for us.

The thing that I can suggest to them is just to keep their self-control and not be tempted by the promotions. They need to take care of themselves and not spend too much especially if they can not see more losses.

Surely as human we are bound to make changes at any moment, just like the saying goes that the only thing constant in life is changes. So do we make changes at anytime. Although the main aim or reason for every gambler to gamble is to make profit, and even though they claim to be having fun they also target the money. No one is happy gambling only for fun while losing money, infact the money is the main reason for Gambling, but people call it fun because wining is not certain. So if you ask me I would say that they didn't switch from having fun to making profit because that was the intended reason for gambling.

For me I gamble to make profit, I don't have any intention than that if there are people who have other intention or motive of gambling, I don't know about that but for me I gamble for the money. I have never switch from one thing to another and it has been goin well for me even though wining is by luck.

-Indiscipline: Changing your goal of gambling might be caused by a lack of the strong will to stand by your decision. When people are moved or influenced by circumstances and not by their own resolution, it shows a sign of indiscipline.
  
-Greed: Gamblers sometimes decide to pursue money or chase losses when they see that another person just won. They assume that they can also win if they change their stance and start betting for cash.  

The solution is to have a strong will and always stand by your decisions regardless of the pressure to sway.    

It surely applies surely, but the official there makes sure that things don't get out of hand. You can also relocate that by funding your account only with the amount you're ready to lose and discipline yourself not to fund more than once, but quit when your deposit gets exhausted. It's always good to normalize running away after a good win so you don't lose it back to the casino.

I've done this before for a bossom friend and guess what? We almost fought in the casino and everyone present began looking at me as the bad person and were asking me to leave him alone. We could only leave the physical casino with some very good profit because I collected his big win myself and seized it, so the next time his balances were low I had the opportunity to drag him outside and we headed home while cursing ourselves on the way. He gave me a tip from the money and thanked me for saving him the following day.

I'm not sure about the others but when I started with online casino, it's out of pure curiosity and after a while there are times that I'm winning and losing and later on I just started losing (not that big but if combined together it's big for me) and after that my reason change into winning it back and keep losing until I realize that I'm just wasting my time and resources and so I just keeping a budget weekly to entertain myself, no matter win or lose but of course it would be nice if I am winning.

The solution for weak-willed gamblers, limiting the budget, setting maximum bet, and setting a stop threshold. These are the things I think might help them.

People often change their original intention in a casino because emotions and excitement can take over. Those who come for fun may start chasing profits, while those aiming for small wins often try to recover losses. A good way to avoid this is to set limits and play responsibly, focusing on enjoyment rather than just the outcome.

My proposal and advice for weak willed gamblers who had made up their minds about the strategy or method that they will use to gamble but changes it in the middle of their games is for them to build self control. Gambling has the potential to make gamblers addictive and any gambler that doesn't have that awareness will fall into the trap of indecisions which often leads to addiction on the long run. When you want to gamble you should come fully prepared and be disciplined to gamble responsibly, if you don't have that strong will power to resist the temptations of irresponsible gambling you will be trapped.

Most people that start gambling are doing it because they think it can be a fast means to make money. So I will say most gamblers have ill intention when they want to start gambling but the intention will start to fade when they see that they are losing money instead of making money.

Each gambler should advise themselves or gambling will teach them a lesson. In everything we do, there should be moderation. It should be in moderation and not in excess. We should not spend money excessively or wastefully.

Many gamblers enter the casino with different intentions fun, small profits, or professional gains but often switch focus due to losses, the lure of bonuses, or the thrill of winning, so what do you think causes this shift, how has it played out for you, and what could help weaker willed players stick to their original goals? I myself always aim for a fun and comfortable gaming when I do casino. Never always aim to win so big on a pot money. Its like the bonus on my stead.

I admit that traditional casinos and online casinos have different atmospheres, and anyone can lose control when carried away by the atmosphere and games. This can cause gamblers to lose control and lose track of time, as traditional casinos are designed for that. Therefore, when I want to visit a traditional casino, I never go alone and always bring a friend to help me if I start to lose my bearings, especially if I've had too much alcohol, as it can make me lose control of myself and time.

Online gambling is different because we can focus completely on the game and there are no other distractions, so online gamblers can always play according to a predetermined plan or goal. They can play calmly, cautiously, and also easily control themselves. Although it all depends on each individual, that's how I feel.

Sometimes I really think that intentions suddenly change base on situation happens. Since if winning streak will occur sometimes people became greedy to chase more for thinking that they could able to take home big profits since they are in winning streak. Lots of people actually fall for that and some of them lose in the end especially when they totally lose control then increase their bet size then bust all those profits they get including their capital.

I guess what can really help people to avoid committing mistake is always to stick on their plan, also they can limit their bankroll so that they can lessen the damage they get if they lose on what they are playing.

Well I think that person didn't commit with his intention in the first place, that's why he switch the intention.

Words came from their mouth, the brain that think to gamble responsibly, and other people that suggest to gamble with amount we can afford to lose, but those aren't enough if there's a small thing on their heart saying "if I didn't earn, I'm a loser".

So the reason they change aren't because of something.

It happens to me a lot of times. I guess I am a vengeful type of guy.

At first, the reason was just to have a fun time testing my luck with 100 rolls in slots. Then, it gets me angry that it didn't even take 15 minutes before all my funds are gone.
That's when I will deposit more to get back the money that I wasted, and soon it will go up to 500 rolls in slots with the same results. I hated one local online casino for not having a good RTP when that happened. After that, I didn't use that service again and came back to the old online casino that I am using.

There are professional poker players, who participate in poker tournaments. I don't know about "professional gamblers", who are using gambling as a "source of income". Have you ever seen "professional" roulette players, slots players, dice players, etc.? Sports betting is a whole different story.
All gamblers have one intention. To make money AND to have fun. I don't want to distinguish this as two different intentions, because there's no contradiction between them. This isn't some kind of "one or the other" type of choosing. It's both having fun and making money.

You know, there are really some gamblers who gamble just for fun, while others are simply hoping to get lucky when they play. Then, there are those who use gambling to pass the time, maybe because they’re going through certain problems and gambling is their way to relax, even just a little.

And there are also others who treat gambling as a source of livelihood, and above all, there are those who are truly addicted to it no matter what happens,
they’ll do whatever it takes just to be able to gamble, something like that.

It is natural that humans are quick to switch plans and reach a decision in situations as this while gambling, but however, I will just summarize it in a few sentences. As a gambler, self-discipline should be a thing we must inculcate into our gambling life. We must also stick to our gambling budget or plan so that we do not exceed our daily gambling limit. Having a self-orientation and knowing the gambling principles would go a long way to keep in check our gambling lifestyle.

As a gambler, chasing losses is normal, but it doesn't show good sportsmanship on your personality. If I may ask, have you seen any sports activities where, as a result of one team losing or having lost, the umpire decides to extend the game again for the losing team to equalize or win back? I know you will say no, and it is so because the game has already been scheduled to take place within that specific time allocated for it, and that is it, nothing more, nothing less, and that shows discipline, coordination, and orderliness on the part of the organizers and also the teams who have participated in the game. The same thing should apply to gamblers when it comes to their gambling schedule, plans, and budget. Once you exceed your gambling budget and time for that game, stand up and leave, irrespective of the fact that you are making a profit or loss, it shows you are disciplined in taking such steps, and till you can imbibe this habit, you will still be switching intentions while gambling.

I think some is trapped by the loss they had. Some people go to casino to gamble with the little they have but that amount they have, they don't have the mind to let it go and once that money leaves their hands, they don't know when to accept the loss and move on, the urge to get back that money becomes an entitlement, they do anything to get the money but in the process of trying to get it back, they loss even more and more they get trapped until reality finally kicks in.

There are various reasons people can get trapped at casino but when you look around, it's the money that drive all of them. If we are talking about addiction of gamblers, deep down when you check it properly it's people that has loss money to casino at some points but are ready to take back the money by any means, it's still financial situation, when you look at people that are making money and want to make more, it's because at some point they have won more and they want to win more, all is momey driven.

Despite the obvious downsides to casinos that threaten weak-willed gamblers, I believe gambling isn't bad. When I first discovered casinos, I had a tough, tedious job. Visiting an online casino after work was a way to relax, but I only ran off to play for fun. And it worked, especially in poker. That's why I always advise gamblers to take things easy and not build business plans around online casinos; that's naive and ridiculous.
We need to see the positive side of gambling and embrace it. Then gambling will help us, not harm us.

I hear a lot of people say something similar and it's usually poker  :) But I'm not sure if the same applies to playing slots, where it's always just you against the machine, so to say, the gameplay is faster, and designed to keep you playing.

Professional doesn't mean perfection. I noticed many persons on here misunderstand the meaning of someone being a professional gambler. Before I clear the air on what a professional gambler mean, I want to ask you a question, does a professional make mistake or loses sometimes?

When they mean by professional, we are talking about someone who have a high quality in doing something. In gambling we can say a professional gambler is someone who keeps to the gambling principles, mitigate risk, and win in the long-term. They are similar to a professional investor, trader and many more.

Whatever the purpose of a gambler, most gambler can control it for the first few days, later he either gets greedy or loses control due to his loss and starts betting according to his will. Some people try to recover their losses. When the losses increase, they can no longer gamble normally. Whatever the purpose of the gambler, if he loses control, then the amount of his losses will increase. The problem is more in the case of gamblers who do not have strong willpower. In this case, my advice is that if the gambler can take a break after losing in gambling, the chances of its disaster will be relatively low.

Fear of Missing Out can cause switching intentions reason because you See others win big can tempt you to switch games or bet sizes, hoping you’ll catch the same luck.Having said that,the longer you stay,the more tired your mind gets,making it easier to ignore your original plan and play wisely.

If you are a regular visitor of gambling shops, you will realise that there are many reasons that van make you switch intentions. I remember sometimes we visit gambling shops to watch football matches with people which can be fun but somehow you end up placing some bets on some.of those arches to try your luck even though this was different from yiut intention of visiting the shop. There are several other reasons depending on who you ask and what is prevalent in their neighbourhood.

Yeah, the effect will be always in the end, it's like a step-by-step process for gambling addiction. People still doesn't know that there's a trap waiting for them, if they're trying to gamble continuously without looking at the risks, danger is incoming. Most of the time, they don't take a break because their thinking is why take a break if you can still continue gamble and you might win in the next bet, and that's the biggest mistake of their gambling journey. People should always reflect and learn on every gamble they're making, it's not a game, money is essential and it's the consequence if your loss so we must be careful and act responsibly in every move in gambling.

It's possible to walk into a casino just to have fun and later switch up to gambling irresponsibly. One of the main of the main reasons why some people have change of intentions is mostly when especially when they planned to gamble only for entertainment is when they end up losing a lot of money, without self control this makes them swing into trying to recover their losses and we all know this doesn't end well

In gambling, we may have a day with the intention not to gamble and at the cause of visiting one or checking their platform online, this changed and we decided to gamble for an interesting reasons being personal to us as we got convinced of it to gamble, same also happens in the opposite direction, if we intend to gamble but all of a sudden we discover about something and the whole thing changed and we decided not to gamble again.


They should work on their self by not allowing emotions to get over them and make them behave strangely, they shouldn't gamble to please anyone while displeasing their own self, lastly, it's not a source of income, instead should be for fun.

This is indeed a problem, and still a story of having a good plan until the effects of gambling get the better of you. I've seen, and even gamble with, fathers and mothers who are reminded of their children that it's late or that they still have something else to do, and they get angry. The child often goes home crying after getting scolded. The same with friends or brothers. What often happens is that when a gambler is already focused the reminder becomes an annoyance.

For me, it was just fun at first. Then it evolved into trying to earn something, to make a profit. The final stage was that I had only one desire: to win back the money. And so, day after day, imperceptibly, I developed an addiction. It developed into something that even now I can't explain. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't have time to process anything. Therefore, it's not just a matter of consciousness, but also of the circumstances that push us to commit rash acts.

I think emotions has a way of making you go out of your way, even when you try to be so disciplined. The worst of it all is in physical casinos where you can be gambling and losing, turning to your side, you'll see others gambling and winning, subconsciously you might feel that a little more playing and you'll hit the big win like them, you go on and on until nothing is left with you.


From experience and discussions in the thread, I've come to fully realize that physical casino is more of a trap than online casino when it comes to switching intentions because the environment has an impact on the gambler already coupled with the gambling activities he's undertaking.

Alcohol too is a very bad simulator. It would push you too extreme engagement even when it's detrimental to you.

Could we say it's safer to only go to the physical casino with the money you plan to utilize without your gadgets nor credit card so that as soon as it's lost you find your way out even though you're unhappy about your inability to continue playing?

Pretty much the obvious, they are losing big on that casino that's why they decided to stop and move on to other to see and try their luck. I mean why would you continue if you are like having a bad losing streak. So as humans, we think that we should switch to other casino and maybe our luck might chance. Or simply they got bored on a particular casino or they think that they are not treated very well even if they've lost so much already.

For some there could be gamblers who think that they are entitled or should have been given the privilege and it's true. There are casinos who give their gambler VIP status. But for unknown reason, gamblers might think that is not enough to they move on other casino and transfer their VIP status and then hope that the next casino will be treating them much better.

See... No one goes to play in the casino or betting platform without prioritizing on winning which usually comes with profits.
It does not matter what the contrary vision maybe.

Like the addicted gamblers, where all started as responsible but in the same vein, they gets carried away chasing neither the profits or looses. Those who are strict playing for fun are also indebted to make profits rather, they don't deviate from going lengthy taking it as a source of income.


Acknowledge gambling is never favorable if treated as source of incomes and Instead, you will loose more in the long term.
That is if the player has not been victimized in regrettable situations, then, you will remain strictly abiding to your initial will but if already becomes a victim, then would need to work on your emotions.

Quit if you have to and limit your interest at when necessary.

Do you like to play games? I mean any game... chess, cards, sports, Sony PlayStation, or PC games. Playing itself can be fun... winning adds excitement.

It's the same with gambling... we play to win, and with winning comes profit. So there's no
changing/switching the intention. We play to win. But all games are full of ups & downs, and even losing can be fun, but only sometimes... when the game feels fair, or if we learned something (applicable only in some gambling games).

There is nothing crazy about chasing profits as a form of having fun in gambling, the difference here is the gambler can afford to lose the money he wagers and in return he run after profits, isn't this better than chasing losses? I bet it does.

What you must not do is running after your losses once you lose the money, and also make sure you risk what you can afford to lose because this is the first step that people take which eventually lead to the reason why they chase after losses.

If any gamblers can follow this rules, everything else turns to fun, no problem at all, you fool yourself if you tell the world that you gamble for fun and you later do something else in the back.

Normally as humans there is a spontaneous vulnerability of switching intentions drastically without realizing ourselves most times doing one thing often can be boring hence we try to explore and maybe can still later come back to were we started, I wouldn't suggest anything to help maintain motives because I intensely belief in certain level of exploration and trying new things when you feel like but in a more diplomatic way, I can decide not to gamble in a particular day but while scrolling through I might bomb in to game that I might be interested in and gamble without over things, for me it is ok to switch intention at some point to spice experience.

I have been a victim of this in the past, and these things added to my experience that shaped me into a more responsible gambler that I am today. I was mostly the victim of trying to get a quick profits to chasing the recovering my loss, and the loss was never recovered. I used up money that was intended for another thing in the casino and I lost, I didn't go home immediately I decided to gamble some more to see if I will recover my loss and it got worse.

In the same vein, switching intentions when faced with gambling decision is all about mind set or am being driven by my instinct whether to or not.

I might switch intention due to my awareness of those who gambled and had a massive win, then am attracted to game.
Or seeing the frustration of many with huge losses, I can also switch my imtention to engage.

Well, as for me, if maybe my friend told me a day before the day I went to the casino that he won a huge amount, while am at the casino, if I remember his statement of winning a huge amount, I might also wish to keep trying my luck if I could win just like he did.

It’s always the greed makes a gambler change their mind mid way when gambling. Their goal becomes overextended instead of trying to earn small profit they will chase more when they experience small to big win.



Have some limits or gamble only what they can afford to lose. This way they have no choice than to stop if they don’t have money to play or when they hit their limits.

Switching intention is actually not a problem, but been able to gamble responsibly is, irrespective of whatever you may face as a gambler while gambling. Because as an individual who could have started gambling with a huge balance, and starting seeing his balance reduce drastically, might opt to wanting to recover his fund, since the aim was to gamble for money an not fun, and in such scenario, and in such scenario, inasmuch as he is willing to only gamble what he can afford to lose while trying to recover his lost funds. It's still actually okay. Hence, my solution to weak-willed gamblers is to always gamble what they can always afford to lose.

When people step into a casino with one intention and end up switching to another it often comes down to emotions mixed with environment the atmosphere is built to make you forget time and logic so even someone who just wanted to play casually for fun can suddenly feel drawn into the chase of “what if” moments small wins spark greed small losses spark the urge to recover and both can shift the original motive quickly. Bonuses and promotions add another layer they make you feel like you’re missing out if you don’t keep playing it becomes less about the original reason you came and more about not leaving empty handed or thinking you’re wasting an opportunity.

To keep from falling into that trap one strong method is to set hard boundaries before playing not just a budget but also a clear purpose if it’s for fun then treat the money spent as an entertainment fee and accept it’s gone once used if it’s for profit then approach it like work with defined limits just like in risk management for trading another way is to step out once emotions get too loud because that’s the signal that the original intention is already at risk. Discipline is the real tool here and it needs to be set outside the casino not while sitting at the table or machine.

This conception of gambling for fun has not be well differentiated for the gambling for-profit. As I have seen others said gambling fun comes with winning and if the gambler is a losing at all time, men there is no fun there instead sadness everywhere. Many people are using the phrase "gambling for fun" as a cover up stories but deep down in them they are gambling for profit but because of the losing nature, he would covert it to fun.
Gambling is not something people would take as a gun event because it is a wallet/pocket drier and make you to go home empty.

Some people worry about switching intentions after doing something new, as intended, just because they adjust to the outcome, but are not firm in their intentions. If that's the case, they are easily swayed.

Sticking to and being accountable for your decisions is better, regardless of the outcome. In my opinion, you would get better results when you come to those senses.

Humans often change their thoughts, which is related to the firmness of each person's mind. It is very possible that other thoughts arise due to the influence of suggestions from others, whether they are friends or newly acquainted people.
There is no solution; the best thing is to strengthen one's own will and never be easily influenced by others.

Humans are eligible to change at any point in time and sometimes when one fits in to gamble for fun there would be a change of mind making them have another thought or intentions about it, so it's meant to occur in most cases the switch in intentions of gambling. I've had that experience and I won't deny that which is quite cool but the reasons may be anything the fun, comfort and excitement may results to that.

This is the main reason people can change their intentions about gambling. But I think many people are gambling more than to entertain themselves, they gamble because they want to make money from it. I may be wrong but I first start to gamble because I want to make money from gambling. If there is no money involved again in gambling starting from now, most gamblers will stop visiting gambling sites.

While playing at the casino, I might adjust my bet sizes or perform various actions, from increasing my bet to increasing my frequency. This could only be caused by losses and bad luck, after which I'd want to quickly numb the pain. But there have been millions of such cases, and it never led to anything good. In short, in the casino, you need to be able to control yourself and make gradual betting adjustments rather than sudden ones. These kinds of changes are what shake us as players, and we need to be stable as players so that nothing influences our behavior in the game—that's how professionals think.

When the game is not going as at when planned, or due to fear of losing all their money at a spot, on getting to the casinos, their expectations are not met, when you are away from the casino, it is a different ball game entirely because your instinct might be different from what is happening .

That is how gambling is, you may decide at any point in time to switch over your intention, mainly for those that their intentions are always for money, it is for your benefit and personal reason, at times it use to be favourable, therefore either for fun or for money it is his own personal decision that the blame will not be shifted to anyone but himself .

I've said this alot on the forum, we sometimes just talk about gambling for fun, for the sake of not getting too attached with our losses. Many gamblers gamble not for fun but for the profits, that's their real intentions. No hard feelings should be attached to our games, if you wins you take it's and accept your fate when you make losses.
For weak gamblers you can just fix your mindset on not making profits because that's only going to be the beginning of your loss. When you begin to chase after the bags, it's might not get to you...

Perhaps the intentions were not entirely clear in the first place.

Yes, we can lie to ourselves and confront ourselves when we do something that is not supposed to be. :P

I guess it is very common to have one thought for a while and say let's fuck it I am gonna do it any way or I want to try that and see how it goes and the list can goes on and on and there doesn't need to be any particular reason for people change but if they do then they are the one who has to face the consequences.

I don’t see any wrong if a gambler suddenly shifts his intention towards gambling in the casino. If not for fun, then it would be for pure profits, these are the two most possible intentions that any gambler would seek in a casino. Otherwise, if you come to a casino with unclear goals, you are just like literally gambling your money, and willing to lose them easily because that’s what mostly possible to happen when gambling.

Gamblers are just humans, and are subject to being compulsive gamblers at times. And any time, changes will always be possible, which depends on the current situation of the casino while you are gambling.

Every gambler has the prerogative what to do with his games. So he can switch anytime he wants, and do what is necessary if he thinks he can benefit from it. So more than likely, if you switch, you are seeing an advantage for yourself, right? Without seeing an advantage, I don't think you will have courage to switch. So for me, that's normal. As a human, the tendency to switch is common as you need to find some benefit on what you are doing. If you are not seeing benefit at your side, you will surely stop and find another one. Just like any other habit that you want to pursue in life.

Even those who gamble for fun inevitably experience a change in their intentions, especially as we know this is likely more common after a win. After all, the goal of many people gambling is profit, and even those who gamble for fun are certainly looking for wins, or bigger wins, but perhaps they're more able to think more rationally. You're right: if there's no more money involved, players' interest may wane.

First of all, I did not explain my point well, I like to play sports betting and I have a high chance of success here, but many times I feel that I should pay more attention to casino games. Such thoughts came to my mind and I started playing casino games, but every time I thought about playing casino games and every time I felt that I might not be able to achieve anything good by playing casino games, rather I would only lose my money by playing casino games, so at many stages of casino games I came back from there and started playing sports again. I think everyone has different characteristics when it comes to gambling, some gamblers like to play casino games more and some gamblers like to play sports betting more. I am also one of those gamblers who play sports betting.

Yes, it always happens if you don't have boundaries that shouldn't be crossed and implement management strategies to overcome compulsive gambling.
Some casino situations such as the losses that keep happening and still have big hopes to win, it will give more losses if it doesn't stop for a moment

Sometimes some players are too naïve to admit that they have lost but keep insisting on making another bet or starting a game that makes them lose again.

Humans will never be consistent with their original goals and the rules that have been made if they are greedy and no longer know how to stop the activities that make them addicted.

I think it has been well differentiated in some thread which you must not have come across, when some people say they are gambling for fun, it doesn't mean that they don't want to win a single bet, it doesn't mean that they won't feel happy about the winning they get but the primary purpose is not to go after the winning and make a living out from it, but there are people who are using gambling as a source of income or a source to supplement their small income, meanwhile those gambling for fun do not use gambling as a source of income or supplement for their income.



Can you clarify what you are trying to say here?

We are emotionally attached to our bets because money is involved, and there is a desire to win. There’s a roller coaster of feelings involved during the course of betting because of unexpected results and situations that we are not familiar with, like winning a huge amount of money that we have not won before.

I always advise my friends who have just started gambling not to add more money than what they have initially put on, and to be satisfied with small wins. If they decide to continue after a win, they need to accept whatever the results are and moderate their greed.

This is a common practice among many people: after winning, they stop playing and try their luck again on another site. Some believe that continuing to play will eventually wipe out their winnings, as the longer they play, the more uncontrolled their playing style becomes. This seems normal for anyone; it all depends on their own willpower.

imo people change their intention because sometimes emotion & cunning strategies interfere with our plan. You know emotion &  chasing losses catch up with us when we lose unexpectedly. Similarly when we almost win but lose or win too many times, gambler fallacy &  dopamine rush prey on us, causing us to bet even bigger

wanna avoid such shit? you should set a pre commitment regarding bankroll &  session time before you start playing. If you see bonus requirements that push you to overplay, you should avoid them. Use site self exclusion &  deposit limits & exit as soon as your predetermined loss limit is exceeded. These strategies are actually more effective than just willpower. so automate limit & plan cool headed. dont let your casino carrots or hot-cold streak thinking reroute you. save your cash &  your head lmao.

I think for most people is it’s usually “frustration” I know this might sound a bit off from what other people have said but if some gamblers go to a site and then play for a long time without having good wins some times they’ll think that the system is rigged and even if it’s a provably system they’ll be too frustrated to even believe it and would want to switch to a different system.

That’s one of the reasons, others could be boredom - there are people who usually want to explore and check out what other sites are doing and that could lead to them switching to a different platform despite loving it at the beginning. 

It is still possible to gamble even though there's no money involved since gambling can be done with material things too. I've seen guys place their phones as stakes for football match outcomes. I've bet my portion of food in the past during my younger days.  Although I get your point but I wanted to correct your statement first.

If I've nothing to gain, personally I wouldn't be gambling. Those grabbling for fun are still profit minded but the exert a great level of emotional control, discipline and planning with a budget and because they don't go to extreme lengths to secure profits, it's branded that they're gambling for fun.

Having change of mind can be good because it can help change the outcome of the bet that you're having. People change because what they're currently doing isn't giving them the result they wanted. You won't change what's working for you hence when I hear change, I associate it with changing from what isn't working to what you think might work for you. There are many reasons why I change or switch my intention on a casino but the main one has to be to entertain myself. I don't necessary gamble because I'm lacking financial support but I can do that when I'm not having the desire fun that I wanted before I started gambling. Gambling should be fun first before anything else, you can decide to make money from gambling but that shouldn't be the priority or you'll go broke trying to achieve that.

In my opinion, that's where we get it all wrong. When we increase our bets and the frequency without a little bit of rest.

I will admit that I have been there, but I did learn my lesson. Now, I play one time with a small deposit, and when everything is gone, I will just come back after a few hours. It's the stress that I am trying to avoid because I realized that many times, I am stressed because of the losing streak that will happen, and I take revenge by depositing over and over again until I am almost depleted.
It's not right, and it could damage us emotionally and mentally, so I won't recommend it to anyone to gamble for a long period of time.

it is a bit of a paradox, to be honest

people are having fun because there is the promise of money but does this mean they are here to make money? not necessarily because some people have day jobs and only go to gamble for stress relief

Once am gambling and see that things are no longer the same way as I've planned or expected, then it is likely for me to have a change of mind and switch to other things for another day, to gamble and later be in harsh mode is not necessary and that is why we have to control anything that may happen or lead to such experience, we know what we want and how to get them achieved without be told, except if we don't know what's good for us and we are only gambling without being observant, else, nothing should stop our decision from gambling aside this or time.

We can't find a definitive answer as to why our intentions change when we're in a casino, but there are several reasons that might influence it. First, the location. Casinos are businesses and will do their best to provide the best service to their customers. This comfort can alter our initial goal and make us play longer. Oh, and music, this also can't be ignored, as it can create illusions. These two factors can be a reason and ultimately provide emotional drive, which can begin to take over logic, eliminating the original goal. This is normal, because no matter how disciplined we are, we will still experience moments like this.

Finally, I think having fun is only for the rich, but I believe deep down they also want to make a profit. This also reinforces why our intentions can change.

For me the main reason I personally can switch to another casino, caused by close friends, friends are us coming to the casino every day, even though we sit and drink without gambling.

In physical gambling, that friend has a role above average, if my friend no longer comes there, I also leave.

There is no proposal, all of us have principles, anyone is free to do anything, while there is no crime.

Yes people do this only when they come to gambling only for fun. I was doing such an experience from the beginning but gradually my motives have changed. As a human being it is possible to do everything. So it is not impossible to change the decision at any time. But now I am focusing on making money most of the time. And many times through failure. But I think everyone should enjoy such an experience. This method works best especially in learning something new.

Usually people turn to other casinos because of a successive defeat, based on the rationale that +maybe in other places we are more fortunate "there is always logic like and I think it does not only happen to me who is upset with defeat and defeat without any hope of winning, or on the other hand there is a problem with the casino so that it makes us switch to other casinos.


I only suggest that keep gambling responsible, whatever your goals, whatever your motives come then the solution is to gamble responsibly, whether you switch casinos or not.

You even answered the question in a way before asking it, some persons changed their reasons because  they were possibly loosing more than they did expected, so they want to recover and some later found out that the fun was derived the most when they were winning and so they decided to channel the efforts into seeing how they can win so they will be able  to secure  the actual  fun, so these are very valid reasons for which gambler behave the way they do but to help them, they are the ones who just have to decide, there is almost no way to help them if they have not decided to stick by a rule, this has nothing to do with whatever advice you give them or how much you  try to make sure they are not stucked in such.

If maybe you were expecting to win on the first 20 minutes of starting but unfortunately your luck was not favourable, will you winde down, or you kind of remember your luck in the previous days and then switch up to playing for few more minutes or hours if you can hit the same luck as the previous days?

I feel the switch in intention is mostly determined by emotion overtaking logic. Firstly, the aim may be fun or a little win, yet as soon as money is involved, greed, loss chasing, or maybe boredom may enter.
The surrounding of a casino is created to make sure you continue playing, such as the lights, sounds, bonuses, the near wins, they all force people to change their mindset
For solutions, I can say discipline should be built before you go into it. Lay hard boundaries especially on time and money, don't just set it, stick to them despite the result. Writing your intentions down can be helpful before playing and taking it as though a contract with yourself.
To protect weak-willed gamblers from drifting, self-exclusion and boundaries setting tools on casinos should be helpful.

That's because of their emotions, which can change or switch your intentions in the casino after a while. A person is losing money, and that loss triggers them to chase it, or a person wins again and again, waking up their greed, and they start betting constantly. The casinos are designed in a way that you can lose your control, the lights, the music, and the hope of one last chance at success can change the decisions or plans of any gambler. The real solution to this problem is to bring a fixed amount to the casino, and if you lose all or your profits, decide with yourself that at that point, you will leave the casino at any cost. That would be a good solution to it.

Yes, it all lies down to responsible gambling. A gambler can switch and go to different casinos whenever they want to.

But it still will lead to how do you gamble and motives are just the second thing when you're out of emotion. So, if you're used to jumping to different one after using it.

Maybe it's your way of dealing how fun it is but many of us don't do that because sometimes we just want to be stuck with a good one and never leave it.

When we win and think, "Maybe I'm just lucky," this is when our goals can change. The option might be to continue gambling, increasing the bet amount in pursuit of a bigger win. It would be hypocritical if I hadn't experienced something like this during my gambling career. Furthermore, I think almost everyone who gambles experiences something similar. Furthermore, when gambling is involved, things can change. While there were limits to gambling, such as withdrawing all winnings, when the casino offers a profit, which can lead players to believe it's easy to win, gambling can become more prolonged, even deviating from the original plan.

Of a truth gambling is supposed to be treated just for fun, but there's a certain stage where you will no longer enjoy the fun. Because you can't keep losing all the time when you already know that there are two things involved, that's wining and losing. But how come you're just having one particular experience without also experiencing the other, if you get to this stage I'm sure that you will be overwhelm. And this can probably lead into change of decision that's either you think of quiting or you try forcing win to come.


If you're this set of gamblers who have been gambling for years and they have been having one particular experience, that's loss, loss. You know if you find yourself in this situation if you're not disciplined enough there's no way you will Stick to your decision without deviating. So therefore the only advice I can give to people regarding this issue is that once you see that you have started feeling weak in your decision then you have to take a deep break to clear your head before you will think of to continue.

The question is whether those people actually put their money to gamble only for fun in the first place or whether they were just deceiving themselves, because it's easier to say something when your true intentions are different, and it's also easier for someone who is lying to himself for his true intentions to be exposed based on action. That's what and how I consider those who start chasing profit from being someone who claims to be gambling only for fun and entertainment.

Does it really matter if I walk into the casino with the intention of having fun and suddenly change my motive? Whether i gamble for fun or not, the end desire is to win and be excited. No gambler gambles with the intention of losing. The only difference here is that one needs the money badly and the other can do without the money.

Whether for fun or for the money, we should be concerned about how much we gamble with and how much time we spend at the casino. If there is no balance, the consequence will not be different irrespective of the motive behind it.

I don't believe the casino was designed to lose control; its primary purpose is to provide entertainment, not to control gamblers to keep you lose.
It is human nature to lose control, but it is up to us whether we continue or not.
We should limit ourselves to gambling and not worry too much about potential profits. If you can limit yourself, your intention will not change to chase losses.

It's possible for some people to switch intentions when they are in the casino this happens mostly with people that have issues with self control when it comes to gambling...it's similar to someone that plans to use just a certain amount of money to gamble but after a while they start gambling wrecklessly just because they are trying to recover what they have lost...in order to avoid this you must be disciplined

Often, when people think about going to a casino, they only intend to have fun. They don't think about making a consistent profit. Of course, they think about getting lucky and winning a lot of money. But when they're at the casino and winning a lot, they immediately think about returning the next day. And when they return the next day and win money, they start to look at gambling as a way to make money consistently.

The problem with this begins when they lose everything. They start chasing losses and destroying their lives. They lose everything and become addicted to gambling. I've read many stories of people who lost everything gambling, unfortunately.

So, I think the casino places are very conducive to changing people's intentions... they are desigend to stimulate intense emotions in us players. The adrenaline of an unexpected win or the frustration of losing streak causes most gamblers to lose their initial goal quite quickly.
Who hasnt caught them selves on a winning streak and thought, "I am feeling lucky, I need to seize this moment?" Or after many losses, thought:  "The bad luck cannot haunt me forever. I wll keep going, and eventually I will get it all back."

A gambler's main goal is to set very clear limits before starting to play and to have strong emotional control so as not to be shaken and change those limits while betting?

I wouldn't say it's a trap, but we get comfortable with a casino and don't easily switch to another. Some people chase their VIP level and, once they reach it, enjoy it every day and every week.

Some people are like you say, maybe not a few, but what if that were you?

This is because humans are dynamic, their minds can change at any time, and that's what makes someone change their mind. It could be that when they see someone win big or an offer seems particularly tempting, they're tempted to try something they never thought about before.

Casinos often create marketing strategies specifically designed to trigger this sense of curiosity and euphoria, so it's not surprising that sometimes, when someone comes in just to have fun, they end up spending more money than they intended.

Greed is the brain of it all, greed has a way of switching once mind or intention automatically within a tinkle of an eye. I know of many folks around my area that has sink deep in addiction because of greed, at first it was fun all the way but am still in shock how the whole thing just pum up, their is no single day this my guy will not stakes off his last card just to make sure he take home with something which is bad. Gambling shouldn't be a do or die affair the more you chase it with so much aggression the more it becomes toxic or even makes you become more addicted to it.


It is cool for us sticking to the initial plan, we shouldn't deviate thus we attract issues to our self.

Secondly, we should do away from greed because greed is the only factor that can compel any gambler to go beyond his or her limits. However Ballers shouldn't be carried away by initial winnings because that's just like a teaser to keep you coming for more if you're careful.

The biggest gambling trap is when you have been gambling for a while and you have never make a big amount but all of a sudden you hit big money, you have tasted a forbidden fruit, if you are not a strong type you will loose your guard down and you will allow stupid thoughts in your head to lead the way henceforth.

Some people loose guard once they see other gamblers that are close to them hitting it big, maybe one after the other, they will want to get the same result and they might ask them how they do their gambling.

Be contented with your own risk tolerance and strategy, don't be influenced by others around you who fortunately get lucky, yours will come too but it is better to expect when you least expected.

Some gamblers start gambling in casinos with a plan, either by winning or losing, and their initial goal may change. This is most often seen in those who lack self-control. Some gamblers may become greedy for more wins after several wins, while others, after losing money, may deviate from their initial goal to recover money from the casino. I think these two factors play a major role in switching gamblers' goals.

In my case, it's usually the promotions of casinos or sportsbooks that trigger the switch to scrap my current plans because the ones I opt in are always easy to clear, so I might as well include them.

There are also times when it's the opposite. I start it off with a plan of clearing a casino bonus, and eventually, I could end up abandoning ship if my luck isn't treating me well.

My advice for those who keep on deviating is to lower their budget because i've also been there, and reducing my bankroll helped me stick to my initial decision.

Change is a phenomena found in all aspects of life and it can be influenced by situations in midway as we go. For the gambler, intentions are common and any experienced gambler can agree to this. Like in sports betting, there are times I may want to only bet on not more than 5 games pick in my parlay and I eventually end with more than that number because I came across a specific game I didn't thought of adding bur it looks possible to play out well if i add it.

Unable to accept the losses is one of the common reason on why gamblers are changing their intention from having fun to recovering their losses. Many of us started just to have fun for sure. But then, when you already use the amount that is not planned to bet in gambling, that's the start of the real problem.

Set a limit on how much money to spend and have discipline. Because if you follow your rules (when to stop, amount to use and hours to play) you can end your session without a problem. Just don't be greedy because that's a temptation that many of us can't resist.

Not a trap, we agree with that.

It's also a matter of those VIP benefits that makes the others stay on the casinos that they use to play with.

And with how others are jumping to another one, it's about the benefits and the experience they get. If they are not treated well, that gives them the idea to go to another that might be treated well than the past one that they have been gambling with even if the level they have there are VIP level or top already.

This greed will indeed emerge when players have already achieved a win. For those who lack self-control, this will kill them slowly or quickly, leading them to a gambling addiction that is uncertain and will never be easy to stop. Therefore, the best option when winning is to withdraw everything and stop gambling. Only a small percentage of players know when to stop gambling. Changes in plans can occur while gambling, especially when winning.

One day I won, and I made a different plan, a change that cost me what I earned. It was foolish. I intended to retire with enough money to have a good time in 2 or 3 days , well, something like eating out and being calm, but no, I started inventing how to multiply it, I'd have double the amount to buy some pants, and I ended up losing what I earned. You shouldn't do that.

We must appreciate profits; we can't treat them as something bad, but as a blessing.

Yes it can be an indication of someone to change casinos, customers must be given the best service to make them feel nayaman so they don't want to move, occasionally even if they move to other casinos to get different things they will return to their old casinos if the new casino they use is not as comfortable as their previous casinos.

Sometimes there is a boredom, and the game in a limited casino will be easily left by their customers.

That's true, after moving and they don't get the satisfaction that they are looking for to the new ones that they try, they'll still going to come back to the old ones that they have been playing with.

And this is what's good being a gambler, we can either be loyal to the casino that we like to gamble with or, we're free to choose and try the other ones.

There is no cap for our choices and we've got the freedom as a gambler to play the games that we want to.

You are right about that, we have freedom of decision and we can play where we want and the games we want, we are not married to a particular casino , if we want to be loyal to one or two casinos that is fine , but we have the freedom to decide, the only thing is that they are trustworthy and reputable casinos, where there is no risk of fraud.

The freedom to choose anything and where to play will of course always be put forward, no one can regulate it.
Anyone has the right to use any casino and as you said the casino really should be trusted and recommended, reputable and not commit fraud.

There are many casinos that are recommended from this forum and provide many advantages for forum users.

Although it doesn't have to be tied to one casino, but having a favorite casino and the best one will be more convenient, as it is the main place to play.

The goals of a person playing in a casino aren't very diverse. They're mostly entertainment or thrill-seeking. The author mentioned "professional gamblers," but in a casino, these are only likely to be poker and other gambling players. Generally speaking, being a professional gambler requires tremendous skill and an extremely significant competitive advantage. I don't even know what that might be. Modern poker has been thoroughly researched, and it's difficult to invent anything new. It's logical that people come to the casino with certain intentions (and illusions) and leave with different intentions (and often different illusions).

Permit me to say that gambling is one of the hardest thing we will do without deviating, because I have seen Alot of people going with a certain plan but after some years I discovered that they have switched from thier initial plan which is fun in the first place and start chasing profit, Right now the guy is gambling recklessly.

About the issue of greed, of course greed is one of the major problem we are having. Moreover this greed is not only apply in gamble both in other aspects And greed can easily mess up our plans or lead us into danger which is why we need to abstain from greed especially in this gambling section so as for us to be safe.

For me this is something Fundamental , we Should all start from this because those who look for online casinos without any kind of Argument or something Similar , well, things are riskier , here in the photo when I was a Novice it was when I Started to direct Myself more Safely to the casinos, in fact I almost fell for the 1xbit scam , which in the Forum I saw was a Scam.

Of course, most players want to win and think they're the one who can do it, but with time and play, they realize how unfavorable things are. Therefore, their intentions change during the game. This could be due to a run of bad luck, after which they simply stop playing, or, conversely, they may want to win back and start betting more and more. Ultimately, players who change their minds, tactics, and bet sizes are perfectly normal, as players aren't robots who bet the same amount every time, and everyone has their own reasons for changing their minds and intentions.

That's a good reason, sometimes a bad streak just leads me to Change my mind and therefore changes the whole tactic and strategy in the game, and Although that is a very dangerous Decision it is part of the person who wants to take that risk, at least I don't do it because I know myself and I Don't work like that, as I said before I am more of a wait to see what Happens and accept things as they are , if I win great, if not I assume.

The human mindset is bound to change consistently, it is something that's constant, which is why many gamblers deviate from their initial reason for gambling to something else, some get carried away by their profits and see it as another source of getting money. Anyways the truth of the matter is that if you don't have self control and discipline yourself from being greedy then your real intentions for gambling would definitely deviate to something else, gambling involves money so it's something that could attract greed if a gambler is not very disciplined.

Losses can affect me too, but the truth is, if you take professionals, they'll quit because losses haven't affected their gameplay. They understand their strategy is winning and they just need to play as much as possible to make a profit, as well as get a big rakeback to get more bonuses. We're probably not professionals, but we still have a strategy, and if we don't think it's winning, why play at all? Besides losing, I personally can be affected by my overall mood; it might be down to work, fatigue, boredom, or bad relationships. This can make me depressed, and when you're depressed, it's best not to play at the casino at all, because losses can be indifferent to us, and in the morning we'll be very sad about what we did and regret it.

Nothing can make me more to change thoughts about a casino or gambling on a casino than a losing streak, I mean there are times that we might have set our mind for other results but when we start everything then starts to go the other way and in such situation I think the best thing to do is actually stop or choose not to gamble on that particular casino depending on what and how my emotions might have carried me up to.

There could be multiple reasons, and very few of them are eve closely tactical. I might get bored in the old casino, their games or i find more interesting sport books in some other site.

It's mostly both matter of taste, but free bonuses for newcomers and casino rewarding their players with a token are huge reasons. That is if the token and tokenomics makes any sense. And that's not always the case.

Without a doubt, if we are going through a bad time, a disappointment or something like that, it is better not to play, because if we lose we will feel worse. When we feel like with those low moods, sad for something else , it is better to do other types of activities, but not playing in the casino, because you lose money.

Do you think you'll have more luck that day gambling on a different casino and do your emotions tell you that you that the present losing streak is as a result of gambling on the said casino? Of course its better to stop if your losing streak is on a sky dive and bankroll continues going down in a way its now affecting your emotions.

Maybe it can help if you switch your intention from gambling for a longer while to quitting due to a consistent losing streak, but to pin your losing streak to gambling on a particular casino, that isn't a good judgement since lots of people win from it too.

It always has to do something with money and profit.

If you are in an environment where you see people bet huge amounts of money where they celebrate their winnings, it is inevitable that you would compare yourself to their situation. A lot of "what ifs" would cloud your judgement to the point that you began second guessing yourself whether gambling for fun is the right thing to do.

This kind of situation happened to me once where I switched my intention from having fun to chasing profits. Let me tell you- that was a dark day for me as I lost more than my whole winnings.


You will always remind yourself on the purpose on why you gambled in the first place. The foundation of your purpose should be unshakeable to the point that no person could influence you from changing your perspective.

You are right mate, in times like that, a gambler is not even supposed to gamble because losses might make them more frustrated that they can decide to unleash their frustration on the game they are playing, it can result to making of rash decision which in turn hurts them more. I don't gamble when am not feel it myself because it can even cause me to make mistakes in making prediction.

Do not forget that this can happen to any player(whether you or me) and you should not think that it only happens to people that are not disciplined. There is a way you will make loses in a casino even when you are gambling for the fun, you will immediately switch to profitability mode which is to enhance your journey in striving to make profits.

You can find yourself in this can of mode but you might not really know about it. Gambling is a little bit different from the way we see it in reality and we don't have to judge people that have been in this kind of shits severally.

Yeah, emotional triggers are obtainable, but the discipline I uphold whenever I gamble are only two

• Depositing only the amount I'll use for the gambling session
• Not depositing again when my balance is zero

These two has helped me to prepare for the worst from the time I'm at my best. Whenever my deposit is exhausted, no matter how much loss I encountered or I was chasing, I quit and if my emotions are still high, I simply distance myself from my device for a while. As long as you don't deposit more than once, you'll control your emotions more since you cannot continue chasing your losses on a zero balance.


More understanding and encouragement, less judgement I agree.

The fact is that whether you gamble for fun or you came to gamble for entertainment or you are a professional gambler and so on, when you lose your funds, they're gone. Although you may have tangible points to some extent, some scenarios here you have highlighted, I guess, normally happen to those that were newly introduced into betting or gambling. I am not denying the fact that some people's intentions today are just to make money through betting, and if we were to generalise everyone's intentions, I think anyone who's into gambling isn't gambling for fun or entertainment; everyone is gambling for the interest.

However, some people may pretend not to showcase that, but after being into too many losses, they eventually confess, i have seen someone who doesn't have any work, but he's into gambling, and he has been succeeding with his life with the little income he earned from betting.
