Do you think that there are that much difference winning big alone or if front of a crowd in a land base casinos?

a. winning big alone - you might be satisfied, but it could be subdued as you are the only one witnessing that win.
b. winning in front of a crowd - you become the center of attraction, you feel invincible and definitely, you have that aura of a rock star as all eyes on you.

What do you think is more satisfying though? And what could be the difference that you are going to feel besides the two? And which one do you prefer?

I have witnessed a small jackpot win in 2007 in a local casino, it was 5000 dollars with 0.20 dollars bet and a lot of people were around which saw it and was a big encouragement to me so I offered all of them a drink and a fast food meal there. I felt good but not as much as when I hit x11339 on Play n Go slot Return of the Green Knight despite being with 0.10 dollar bet, I needed this 1300 dollars much more on 2024 when this happened than in 2007 5000 dollars. I was in my couch just clicking spin when in the bonus round got to final stage and had some sticky wilds with x100 multiplier, I remember this day much better than 2007 and not it is not because 2007 is more of a distant memory.

Winning in front of a big crowd in land base casinos is a different feeling. I have witnessed someone win in our local casinos and as you have described, the lady feels like she is a superstar as everyone around is congratulating here. I myself have won big but not a jackpot, but enough to be notice too. I just felt very lucky that day and continue to play all throughout the night and stay in the hotel. As compare to you in your own room with no people around, so maybe the adrenaline rush will just be for a few minutes and just celebrate it alone. Or if you are married then obviously with your better half. So there's that huge difference.

Winning in front of a crowd can make you an instant celebrity and draw unwanted attention to you both good and bad. Of course, it commands a great feeling of importance and victory but I thinks it's more of bad than good.

Winning in front of a crowd has financial implications since you'll be expected to do some giveaway or even buy drinks for guys there to celebrate with you. It's not by force but if you don't do it, you make more enemies than friends.

I prefer to stay alone, play online alone or with my close friends and if I win I'm not under any obligation to attend to anybody since almost nobody knows I won. I prefer a private life.

I love winning on solo and not in front of the crowd because I don't like attention and prefer a low key lifestyle. Whether, you win in front of the crowd or not, it wouldn't double your win. Just as you want to be fame is the same way that you will be expose go to criticism.

For two particular reasons, I prefer winning big alone or in private. The reasons considered are

- Winning big in front of a crowd attracts unnecessary attention, which puts you in focus and exposes you to a security risk. You become a target for people who have a motive towards you, and then secondly,
- You may get a lot of praise from winning in front of a crowd, and that praise or those compliments may get into your head, motivating you to gamble more or even become reckless, forgetting your gambling principles that you hold so dear.

When you win in private, no one knows unless you tell them, and then you can be selective of the persons you tell.

The answer here varies depending on user preference. I want to win alone because I don’t want attention when money is involved for my safety purposes while others preferred to show off their win as way to satisfy themselves.

I don’t want to say it’s useless to flaunt your win to the public but if that’s your way to enjoy your profit then it’s the right call for you.

There’s no way I will celebrate my big win in a public. I like winning alone.

Winning alone is satisfying enough for me. I'm not an extrovert and definitely not an attention seeking person. Winning big in a land based casino can have it's big drawbacks, especially if you live in a country with a high crime rate. We've discussed enough horror stories here in the Gambling forum, about casino winners, who got robbed or kidnapped outside of a land based casino, just because a bunch of criminals had seen them winning big at the casino. Gambling is definitely not an ego booster for me and I don't want a bunch of hot women cheering up for me just because I had some temporary luck at a land based casino. ;D

I would prefer winning alone, I don't want to let anyone know that I won, not only that I will be pressured to share tips but it might also a be a potential danger to you. I don't see what could benefit you from winning and letting everyone know that you win, having the feeling of a rock star? No, I prefer to win privately. Also, in my country, once your family members know you won it's not your winnings anymore, it's your whole family.  ;D

If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't want a crowd of people to know that I won at a casino or the lottery. Mainly because I don't want to put my life and health at risk, as there may be those who want to take my winnings by criminal means. It has been noted many times that big money likes silence. Accordingly, you will feel calm emotionally and will not worry that someone will want to attack you at any moment. And if someone wants to have the aura of a rock star, it is better not to achieve it through material gains, as this is simply dangerous.

If you need social validation in order to feel a sense of pride, then it's more satisfying to win in front of a crowd. It's just that there could be some people eyeing on you with bad intentions, and you're basically putting yourself at risk. If you are more of an introvert, I would assume that you are less likely to go to land-based casinos, and just play online instead. I personally wouldn't want any unnecessary attention (for security reasons), that's why I prefer winning alone.

This is also another reason why I prefer to keep things private. Not only your family, but your friends might also tease you, to treat them out and celebrate your winnings. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just don't like the pressure of being put on the spot.

It's more satisfying in a physical casino.

I have not tried playing slots or blackjack in physical casinos, but I did play poker, and the pride was different after defeating one player through an all-in fight. It's truly more satisfying than in online casinos. The excitement part of winning will be gone in minutes when you win a max win in slots. You will remember it, there's no doubt about that, but the joy will not last long.
Unlike how you fought at a poker table and won it. It will be stories with friends, and whenever it's brought up, the satisfaction comes back.

Both of them have their own vibe honestly. Winning along gives you that calm and quiet satisfaction, you will just smile to yourself, you will be acting all happy, jumping from one place to another, then take this deep breath, and enjoy your money without hearing talks like, boss show me love oo.

But winning in front of the crowd? Ahhh that one is pure hype. You'll hear everyone cheering, all eyes are on you and at that moment, you'll feel like the main character. Let's not lie, hype can make you to keep playing more just to maintain that feeling and that is where some people lose control.

So it all depends on your personality, if you're the type that likes hype and attention, then winning in the crowd will make it feel more fun. But if you value peace and self control, then winning alone is much more enjoyable. For me, I prefer the quiet win. Less noise, no pressure and I can enjoy my money in peace

Don't get me wrong, specially those who said that it's satisfying to win big alone. But those I think hasn't experience to play in land based casinos with a lot of people around. I don't blame them though as there could be reasons that they don't want to go outside.

But if you are that kind of person that loves to socialized and have the whole crowd behind you winning big in card games like baccarat or black jack. Then it more satisfying and rewarding to win big in brick and mortar casinos. And for sure it's hard to forget that kind of experience, like once in a life time and it will be priceless.

You’re referring to betting in a casino where you’re surrounded by people, that’s a whole different feeling. When you’re betting alone online, it’s more private and quiet. The big difference is that casino betting is fun and entertaining since you get to socialize, feel the crowd’s energy, and maybe have a few drinks while gambling. Online betting, on the other hand, can feel a bit boring, but the good side is you can focus more and think clearly without distractions.

Why do you need the attention of the crowd? Do you want their recognition so they’ll admit that you’re a great bettor? Personally, I don’t see any need for that. Besides, I try to make sure that as few people as possible know that I gamble. I also prefer not to talk about my finances. That’s why no one in my circle knows how much I earn, and only a few people know that I’m a bettor. So for me, it’s obvious that answer A would be more acceptable.

If getting attention makes you happy, then that’s fine, for some people, it feels like a sense of fulfillment, especially when others think you’re really good just because you won. But honestly, that usually happens only when luck’s on your side. You’re just having fun, you get lucky, and boom you cash out those chips.

But if you’re a pro gambler, it’s different. You don’t want distractions, and when you win, no one really knows except the dealer and maybe the cashier. No crowd, no noise, and best of all  no one asking for “balato.” (ph word)..

Yeah there's huge different about it since you will provably get hype more especially if you get loud cheering from those people watch what you are doing.

Atmosphere is really different especially if you are in front with happy or amaze people seeing the current success.

Maybe people feels like they are fine winning alone since they didn't experience to gamble yet on Physical casino and think about this is better option for their safety or whatever reasons they have. But i think situation is really different depends if people experience to play on both land base and online casinos.

Winning in front of a crowd brings a different feeling entirely but depends on the character of the winner. Not everyone likes a public celebration as much expectations would be expected from you as a winner and unnecessary attention could deprive you of your privacy and social lifestyle as people would always want to be in your space.

It depends on the way people view things entirely, there are people who like the attention and would choose winning public over winning alone so they can be acknowledged and celebrated and that's still not bad based on their perspective or lifestyle.

For me, I would choose winning alone and keep my peace over expecting acknowledgement from the crowd to be happy. I see that as self deceit and not learning to make your own happiness.

I choose winning big alone. I will feel satisfied and I don't need to show others about my winning. No problem with that because I can freely manage the money I win by myself. No one will ask me for money and no bad guys will rob me. I feel that it is better for me to hide my winning from others.

But I don't like to show my winning in a crowd because that can attract bad guys to do something bad to me. I prevent that so that is why I prefer to play online gambling.

Perhaps the b. is more satisfying in general because, although I haven't experienced this kind of situations myself (a few little winnings yes of course, but not something so massive) it has to be an extremely ego-inflating situation. And maybe because of that reason and because I don't usually like to be the center of attention, I would prefer the a: winning big alone, and decide myself with whom share the news about such a big win. But I understand that feeling invincible, like the OP said, is definitely tempting for many.

I think either one’s fine, as long as I get to experience a win. When you’re in a physical casino, people will notice if you’re on a streak, it kinda feels like being a mini-celebrity for a moment. In most regular casinos with a crowd around, some might even come up to you, congratulate you, or jokingly ask for a little share of your winnings.

I haven’t been to any big casinos yet, so I can only speak from my experience in smaller ones, but the experience there is still fun and exciting, especially when luck’s on your side. :D

I've never played in a land-based casino before, but if I win there, I'd rather win big alone. It's not that I don't want to be the center of attention, but more of a safety issue. Casinos are filled with people from all walks of life, and you never know who might have bad intentions or try to take advantage of your winnings. In a place with a lot of strangers like that, it's wiser to maintain privacy and not brag too much about your winnings.

I would prefer winning big alone than winning in public  or in front of a large crowd.There are people that would want to win in a crowd were they will cheer up or celebrated but to me I don't really see the need for this
 The so called crowd weren't there when you faced series of losses. Why get them involved when we finally hit a win, this may attract some kind of risk especially when the money is very huge and we may end up putting our lives and that of loves in risk as a result of  our quest to raise our ego. To me winning alone is more satisfying than winning in a crowd as no one will be expecting you to share or give some part of your winning.

Winning big alone gives a kind of calm that public attention can never provide when people see your win especially if it’s a large amount they begin to attach expectations they start forming opinions about what you should do with your money or even feel entitled to a share while they weren’t there during the losses or sleepless nights that came before that success.

When you win quietly there’s no need to explain yourself to anyone there’s no spotlight that invites jealousy or unnecessary attention you keep your peace your privacy and your security intact public wins may look glamorous but they also bring curiosity and sometimes problems from people who suddenly remember you only because of your success. A private win allows you to think clearly about how to use the money wisely it gives you space to reflect without outside noise or pressure some moments are meant to be enjoyed in silence because silence protects what noise can destroy when you win alone you control the narrative and nothing feels more satisfying than having that quiet victory that belongs only to you.

Exactly, Successful battles kept secret are often those that create a far greater peace than noise. By keeping the success secret, one is in a better position to reap the rewards of his or her work in a more personalised and meaningful manner. One is not supposed to live up to an expectation, he just has time to think about the next move. Happiness is maintained through silence, but not in the presence of nosey people who might develop jealousy. Actual success is a reward in itself as it does not have to be demonstrated to anyone except to oneself.

Both have their own satisfaction, I think the difference in winning in gambling only lies in the euphoria or the boisterous audience, I personally prefer silence or solitude in playing gambling, this makes it more possible for me to focus on playing and without any interference from audience intervention that could affect me or lose concentration or doubt in decision making in each round, And I also don't like being the center of attention in gambling.

Definitely number (1) wining alone: it make you feel satisfied and having the intention to win more, but the problem is that wining alone may increases you desire to win more and not apreciating the fact that you have won big, and this is cause by greed. This greed will make you spend all the money alone chasing winning and later chasing loses when you start losing the one you have won. But I still prefer wining huge alone because it gives me privacy and comfort unlike wining in front of the crowd that will leed to enviness by losers and it may result to attack later by criminals. Money matter is very private to be noticed publicly.

I don't think most of us will even prefer the use of the physical casinos as before ever since the emergence of online crypto gambling and most gamblers will tend to enjoy their own privacy well then relying on what others could take advantage on in knowing about what they won from bets, additionally, we may also consider the risk aspect, which is another thing of consideration because the moment we won, everyone got to know, some gamblers may see this as more fun and game to them, while some may dislike it entirely because of their privacy.

Most of us want to be a superhero in front of everyone so that everyone gives us importance, but there is a problem with this, people will always keep an eye on us. I will enjoy winning in front of the crowd more. Trump always wants to be in the headlines, whether positive or negative. And those who are more self-centered will enjoy winning alone more.

I value my private space much more than the any public space anyone could think of, I have no business even gambling in the public in the first place, so I am absolutely not interested in what ever is known as winning in the public and having all eyes on you, I hate to draw attention to myself because in doing so, you don't know the dangers you are getting yourself into as well..

So be it morning, day or night, I prefer to encounter every of my winnings in my own private space, let me celebrate the win with those I will personally choose to celebrate it with and not with some random persons that might even plan to harm me out of jealousy after celebrated with me in pretence of being happy for me..

I prefer to win big alone any time and any day because it is more private, more secure and I am in more control of both my funds and cashout options.
As compared to winning in front of a crowd where there are cheers and boos to the parties involved. Some may live for the crowd attention and ego but they only make themselves to become popular to a degree they may not like or to a degree that puts them under public eyes and if the government were to want to make an example of gamblers who act like them in terms of taxation and ban and even for ambassadorial campaigns against the ills associated with excessive gambling, they could be called upon to do this.

Many persons arguably prefer to win big alone and private and that's why I think online casinos are more frequently patronized than land based casinos.

The answer to the question hide in character. If a person loves to perform on public, loves attention, feeds when people look on him, then for such person winning in front of a crowd will have an emotional effect. There are also people who dont like extra attention, prefer loneliness, feel uncomfortable when talking to people, a person can be an introvert, then he will feel uncomfortable, perhaps shy when he wins. There are third party of people (people who hide emotions or gamble secretly for example), who stay silent when they have big win, but will explode in emotions when they are alone.

The crowd will rejoice with you, I have seen this happened only for the brother to start complaining later that they started asking him for some part of the money he won, some boys even forced him to pay.

This is the only part I don't like about gambling in a casino, it depends on which country you are from but most of the times in my country people take advantage of others unless the person is not a slack type.

---

If you don't settle them you will instantly become a enemy, this is happening because of the current condition of the country, poverty have turned many into beasts they don't want to  become, better to win in your house and rejoice with family.

personally, winning big alone, while as you said, your reaction might be subdued, the feeling is still there(at least for me)

from my personal experience, you'd more hype and amybe expressive since there would be people around you that might cheer around you(but it could differ what kind of audience are around you).

winning big alone, I mean, while it can be fun winning big in front of a crowd, it can become awkward fast especially when they expect you to give some tips, some even are asking directly.

I agree on this for people that preferred to play on physical casino but since most of users here preferred privacy on crypto casino then I guess many will choose winning alone for their privacy purposes.

I have no problem winning on a huge crowd but if I have a choice I preferred no one knew that I won huge amount since I don’t want an attention on my money.

It’s a different fame.

While there are people that likes to be chanted by its crowd. I like to win big only by myself. There's no one that would like to ask me some tips and I can go freely wherever I want.

I don't like to be the center of attraction and that's why it makes me uncomfortable if I win big with a crowd looking at it.

There are people that will cheer me up and won't like to have tips but, there will be people that might harass me personally for asking some big tips because I've win big.

It's a bit of an odd question, because most people are not really winning in front of a crowd, at most you might have 10 or 20 people around a table which might amp up the atmosphere slightly. Maybe you've watched too many movies where the who casino erupts into applause, but real life is not really like that and it is a much more subdued affair if there are even any other people around. I personally don't care for big crowds and it doesn't really add anything to the experience. If I am there to win, I'll be following a strategy where the bystanders have no significance and if I am playing for fun then it'll just be a little bit more entertainment if people are amused by the outcome.

Maybe for certain people who wants to feel they are above others and this is kind of possible when they are winning on a casino and get some kind of satisfaction but the smart thing to do is to lay low and not to expose much that might affect your next bet amount or in extreme cases could compromise your security by dragging unwanted attention that can end us worse.

Winning in front of crowd can be over excited in that cause of celebrating with others you might be tempted to bet more especially when others try to teach and tell you what to do at that moment. I have seen a gambler who once gambled with everything and luckily the person in question won a huge amount although to an extend such person is knowledgeable enough to quit and enjoy the money in peace rather peers influenced the gambler to bet more stating he’s lucky, wining in the midst of crowd can be effective negatively compared to online casino where privacy is respected aside deciding to share an information concerning win big.

Have thought about how it would be for someone who struggles financially to win big especially during a phase where they are desperately in need of money, whether they win in of a crowd or winning alone there's a high chance of being emotional pr overwhelmed. But it's important to always exercise self control,  reacting based on how you feel everytime when you end up winning isn't really a good idea.

In one way there is no difference, and in another there is. Whether this gives you better or stronger feelings is entirely dependent on the person that is in question. Therefore there is no difference that arises as a result of these events but rather of the personality of the winner that is involved. Others may like to have their privacy when they are winning, and for some more extreme examples of this there may be even those where public winning would generate less satisfaction and more negative emotions. It is because of this that I declare that there is no difference in of itself, but that the difference does exist and it comes through the consequences of the involved personality.

I prefer the privacy, especially if big winnings are involved. Nobody needs to know. I mind less playing in a public casino when I am on vacation though.

In your particular case you can't be sure that whether you felt better was because you were in private or because you had a big need for that money and you won (congratulations by the way). It is possible that being in private had no effect, or that it even slightly diminished the positive effect of winning the needed money (among many other relationships of the factors). Please make no misunderstanding, I am not trying to pounce on you I am just using your example to demonstrate why answering these types of questions is going to result with very biased and subjective answers (and not the truth of the event involved). Objective science is difficult!

To be able to even start comparing, a person would need to have the exact same win in private and in public. Even then it would not be a fair comparison because there are many other factors involved that influence the resulting emotions. They may believe something is true in regards to their preference, but that does not necessarily mean it is true.

The first thing that I can think of winning big in front of a crowd, you'll never know who's going to follow you as you leave the casino.

And those with bad intention of stealing anything from you although there is a choice of not claiming it yet and going back at a random time to avoid them.

But those people with that intention can just swindle you and try to bribe you with anything. Nothing beats peaceful winning when no one's around IMHO.

My preference is winning alone. I don't see any benefit of public winning because it will only bring more attention to you. Relatives and friends are now aware that you have money. So you would have to be prepared for several requests for financial assistance. It also becomes a concern if you live in a country that is going through insecurity. This public show could make you are target of robbers, kidnappers, etc. Winning secretly and living modestly will give peace of mind and, in some cases, promote prudent use of the win.

I think both are satisfying, but there may be different sensations we experience in different situations. For example, when we win in front of a crowd, it does feel more exhilarating. The reason is simple: there are so many people shouting and congratulating you, which indirectly adds to the festive atmosphere.

I like both; for me, the important thing is that I win and get paid, regardless of the circumstances. ;D

It really depends on the person that you are; there are gamblers who want to boost their ego by showing or wanting to win in front of the crowd, and there are introverted gamblers who want to win quietly without the noise.

Both of them enjoy their winnings in their own ways, and there is nothing wrong or to criticise in their behaviour. As long as they play fair, they have the right to enjoy their winnings based on their emotions and characters.

I think wining big alone is More satisfying than wining in front of crowd, because when you win in a crowd all attention will be on you and if you don't share the wining with them you becomes the talk of the town and the funnest part is even when you share some of the winings with them surely they will still complain either the amount is too small or something.

i remember when I had my first win in offline gambling shop I almost spent all the wining because it is a must to share your winnings to whoever that is the gambling shop when you have wining then I was unlucky to meet a lot of people there so I just decided to give round, though I have also benefitted from them also.

I have no issue on both of them the thing is that winning alone should be more preferable because you will not have any disturbance from anybody and your winning is in secret because nobody is aware of it but winning in where there is a crowd that will be a center of Attraction as you said and they all I will be on you because most of them have not win so they may be an atoms of envy in you through those people that have not experienced any winning so I will advise people to pick winning alone because it is a secret something that is between you all alone

I don't even like attention, I can win a billion dollar and the world will not know but there is going to be signs that I have won something big ;D  Joke aside, I think there is nothing that beat solo winning, when you make money from casino, the next thing they do is find possible ways to see if the system has been compromise, if there is no any they make sure they adjust so it becomes harder for people to exploit such ways to make money from the casino.

If you make your winnings public, everyone will want to learn. If that becomes a usual activity in casino they will block it immediately. It's the same for bookmakers most especially if the lower line is low that everyone is winning, they make it hard so people don't win, that's the period casino raked in plenty of money and when they see it's too hard, they adjust again and make it easy again for gamblers to make money, you will have to choose between your strategy getting exposed or winning in solo.

I think winning big alone at Landbase Casino would make me feel the best. Winning big in front of a crowd would not make me feel so good because when I gamble in front of a crowd, my risk will increase and if I win big there, that win will definitely increase my risk. Also, if I gamble alone and win big, no one will know about my big win. Also, many people may not know about my gambling, which will allow me to move forward in secret. Although winning big in front of a crowd would be much more enjoyable, it would never feel perfect to me. Winning big alone would be the most enjoyable. I prefer to gamble and win alone.

I don't like even the online gambling showoff when I wins whether big or small. The fact is that I prefer privacy with my bets even though I am gambling in the land base casino's or physical gambling shop because, I wouldn't want anyone that would ruin my time noting that loosing can be paranoid at times.
So of I can't proudly show off my loose to the public, then, there's no essence of flagging my wins. Moreover controlling your excitement in the public is part of the self control we preaches about here. So if you ask me, there's absolutely no essence to show off wins while hiding the looses.

I would prefer winning alone then in front of a big crowd.  I don't care about being momentarily famous, and I will always prioritize security.  Winning in front of a big crowd may invite unnecessary things.  Those who have ill intentions may take notice and may put my privacy and security at risk.

The most important in this scenario is the huge win, fame, and popularity, which are all just passing moments; nothing is more important than personal security.

About the emotional difference, there is huge difference between winning alone and winning in front of the audience, the level of excitement plus the atmosphere around will boost and even make the excitement/joy to the next level.  

Well, it is more satisfying to win huge in front of the crowd because you have people around who witness your victory. It's like flexing your winnings after losses. But we know there are disadvantages, especially it's not safe since we don't know what's in the mind of the people who envy you for being fortunate.

I'm a private person so I don't want others to know what i'm doing. I prefer to win alone, it doesn't matter even if no one witness because it's not a big deal.

Winning the jackpot and getting my rewards under my control in my account is what gives me the satisfaction in gambling winnings, this is because most of the time, crowd always comes with crisis and expectations, this makes it hard for one to get that satisfactions if the winning comes in front of the crowd, so I prefer to just celebrate my winnings in private rather than making public out cry.

I prefer winning alone, perhaps because I don't like the attention, but primarily because I want to minimize the potential risk of crime if I win a large sum. Besides, what's the point of having your win publicized? I don't think it matters, even if it's the center of attention.

I prefer winning big alone. The last thing anyone would want for him/herself, is to be in a position where they will be forced to do certain things that they're not meant to do, just because they are at the center of discussion. Who cares about being a rockstar?.... Who cares about being the best?, though there are a few that do, but I'm honestly not a supporter of that.

And mind you, considering the fact that money is involved, winning in public is definitely a risk to one's financial security. Aside doing what you're not supposed to do just to impress others, there are chances of you getting robbed or being a target. So, I just feel that there is no harm in doing things alone.

This question is based on personal preference, so to me, I prefer winning big alone. I don't know how to control the crowd over some settled things. I want the win, but basically not a crowded congratulations. That is fulfilment in whatever I have always wanted. So I can also calm down to set things I want to do.When you win in a crowd, there is lots of unnecessary attention drawn to you, which can cause you to spend there, which isn't bad either; at least you also share with your fellow gamblers. To me, that attention is not what I need, so if that's what makes you happy, it's okay.

Definitely winning big in front of a crowd can bring more satisfaction and make one feel invencible, the dopamine of the win is higher and it could easily turn into a moment to be remembered for the rest of one's life. If I lived in a country in which crime is low and there is little risk I get assaulted over money, then I would have no problem with winning big in a land based casino and becoming the center of attention for that night. However, I live in a third world country, where people get killed for debts as low as five hundred dollars, so honestly, keeping that context in mind, I would rather to win alone and with no witnesses.

Winning alone,
I've gotten the experienced of winning in crowd but it was not fun, when I mean, winning, I dont literally mean, sport betting winning, I am talking about winning financially in front of crowd, been financial buoyant in front of those who are still struggling, I became a center of loots, whoever comes close to me was coming for looting, it drains the hell out of me.

Ever since then, I've prefer to win or lose alone, whether in betting or not, doing everything alone is the best feeling you could ever get because, there is no or less eyes on you, no enviness, no jealousy, no pressure which keeps you secured in your own space.

Rather than the first option, I prefer the second. Honestly, I enjoy being the center of attention when I win big, it boosts my confidence & sense of invincibility. Both have advantages and disadvantages for the player. When you win big in front of a crowd, you might become a target for robbery (if it's a truly crazy win). On the other side, the emptiness that follows when you win that crazy win is all to yourself.

Without a doubt, external recognition will be the most satisfying of the two, since it is the most human thing, that search to stand out in something above others, and the result of doing the same achievement alone will probably be to then go and talk about your achievement with someone close because of the feeling of pride you feel at that moment, and this second explanation confirms the first one 100%, although there may be a small group of people who are uncomfortable with this instead of liking it, but that would not be the norm.

When people win, they want to be appreciated and complimented for it, and this is a very common thing among people. Whether the pride of defying odds, pride wants one to share their success so that they can relish it in the open or just to gain appreciation, luck at times plays a role in such instances. A majority of times after winning a huge sum of money through gambling all alone, a person ends up sharing it as satisfaction, by and large, comes from getting one’s success known to other people.

‘Winning in front of people’ is definitely a different feeling; cheers, claps and being noticed by them brings a much stronger euphoria. For a moment there is that ‘star on stage’ feeling that pumps those players with adrenaline. But ‘winning alone’ on the other hand, is quiet and private; still, for many players, it results in unique satisfaction because they care more about the outcome than the edge or others.

There is a difference. The lucky winner will immediately become the envy of many other gamblers. And his aura will be attacked by streams of evil energy (since you're talking about aura). No one will admire him as a rock star.  Well, the risks for him not to get home safely also increase many times. But of course, if a person craves the attention of others, then a public win is better for him than a private one.

This kind of experience is quite difficult for some people because we must realize that in the end, such a situation cannot be created for some gamblers, especially those who always gamble independently.

But it is undeniable that there must be quite a difference when we gamble independently or in a group with colleagues, it's just that when I talk about satisfaction then obviously I prefer to play and win independently :)

In the environment that I feel now it is like an open secret when we play with colleagues and one of us manages to get a win then there is always a situation where the winner must tip his partner and this condition even though there is no specific rule but this situation is always repeated so even though the pleasure obtained is quite a lot but I personally don't really like written rules in my environment so I am more comfortable gambling independently.

I prefer to gamble alone so when I win, I feel more comfortable watching it myself. Why is that? Because what I've experienced is that when I win, many people ask for commissions. In fact, I sometimes treat my friends when I win, but I don't like friends who are uncomfortable asking for a share of my winnings, even though they don't have a right to their share, and they ask for it in a nagging manner, which makes me uncomfortable. Therefore, I feel more comfortable watching the win alone.

Playing alone and winning feels more peaceful because the moment is entirely yours there’s no outside noise or pressure to share or explain anything it’s just you your decision and your reward when gambling in groups it becomes less about the game and more about the social dynamic people expect favors small cuts or tips even if it’s unspoken and that can turn the fun into tension.

In some circles tipping or “sharing” after a win is treated like tradition but it creates an awkward obligation instead of genuine generosity it’s strange how unwritten rules slowly turn into expectations and that takes away from the personal satisfaction of winning independently when you gamble alone there’s full control over your choices how much to bet when to stop and how to handle the outcome whether win or loss there’s no one to please no one to judge. Independent gambling also helps to build discipline because you learn from your own mistakes directly without distractions or peer influence while playing in a group might make it lively it can also push people into betting more than they planned to match others energy or ego sometimes solitude is better because the quiet focus gives more clarity and the win feels more earned.

Of course there is. Some people don’t like publicity, they get nervous around people and they are camera shy. They act stupid and careless in these environments and because of that they might do something to which they will regret later and end up with a financial loss eventually. Other than that, money is money. Money doesn’t care if a couple people or a hundred thousand watching. Some people on the other hand, they thrive on chaos. They absolutely love publicity. They are extroverts and their social skills are top quality. These people probably monetize their this ability of theirs and have mega social media accounts on insta, utube etc with a million subs

Winning alone is better for me because I don't want to expose my winning to others. They can change from supporting me to asking for the winning money. That is I don't like because they easily change when they see I win.

Winning in public in a casino will not make me comfortable because they can see me clearly. Those who don't know me can ask for money, pretending that they supported me before. We don't know who will tell the truth or lie but they want me to celebrate the moment although I don't want that but only with my family.

The thing is, winning alone comes with its own peace of mind and lack of any form of external pressure unless the one you invited. When you win alone, you can process your joy quietly, better plan what you think you can do with your money peacefully and you have the liberty of deciding who deserves to know or not but when you win in the in the front of a crowd, it might look fun but it will just be for the moment and once the noise fades you will start to think about the risks which includes envy, attention and people expecting you to give them handouts and envelopes all together. You're kinda threatened with the momentum of attention you must have gathered especially if it is a big win. And when you also look at the flip side, when you lose alone the pressure is usually less than when you lose in the front of a crowd, the booing and teasing you get can make you run mad mentally.

When a victory is won alone, it is one kind of feeling and when it is won in front of many people, it is a different feeling. I think when someone wins alone, that joy is only personal to him and he feels that satisfaction within himself. It is a kind of quiet joy that can only be enjoyed within himself. But when someone wins in front of a crowd and comes here and has a different experience, many people congratulate him and applaud him and everyone look at him , he feels a kind of strength and excitement within himself. And winning in front of a crowd gives a kind of exciting joy that is deep and lasting.

When my gambling is seen by others and they are friendly with me, then my winnings will excite me more. So winning in front of a crowd is a bit more exciting than winning alone. However, winning big in front of a crowd is also risky in some cases. Because when I win a big jackpot with a very small bet, many people will be jealous and some may attack me to snatch my winnings. So although gambling in front of a crowd is a lot more fun, I think it is better to enjoy gambling alone, thinking about my safety.

As a person who doesn't want anyone watching while I'm gambling, I'll go with the first. For me, you don't need to broadcast your winnings. It's better for such moments to be known only to you. At least others won't ask for a tip. Also, a big win isn't very satisfying if, overall, you're still in negative profit. So there's no need to brag too much. But of course, it depends on one's personality. If you enjoy getting attention, then so be it. Aside from winning, at least it adds to your joy when you're being praised.

I guess if you are playing in casino then suddenly some people saw you win a jackpot or even a raffle for example big money or car, obviously that's gonna be more satisfying it's like your happiness is being shared in public as you cant stop your feeling telling anyone that your the happiest guy on earth. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance yet maybe if I'm luckily win on casino.

It is always good to be celebrated as a winner, the feeling is good as everybody will congratulate you but how many people are actually happy for you, I'm sure that most of them will be full of envy. If you hit the jackpot in gambling and everybody knows about it most of them will feel entitled to receive their share, they will say afterall it's free money. Some can plan to harm and steal from you, some will see you as an enemy because you didn't give them the amount they deserve. Because of all this reasons I will prefer to win in private so that I can decide who I want to share the winnings with, the lesser people that knows the safer for me.

The only situation that will make me accept a public display of a big win publicly is if it is the rule of the casino.  Some casinos want to use this avenue to advertise or promote their company. When gamblers see that it is possible to win big in a particular casino, it might attract them to sign up with it.

But for certain reasons like safety and my love for privacy, I will have to leave that city or state where I won the big. If the week is enough to settle me in another country, I might decide to leave my country. The freedom to move around without the fear of attack is priceless. Therefore private wins will be my option anytime anyday.

I'm the kind of gambler who still prefers to stay private or anonymous even after hitting a big win.
I don’t really like showing off, I’d rather keep it to myself, or just let it be known online without revealing my real identity.

Some people enjoy showing their wins in public and want to be seen as pro gamblers, but honestly, that’s way too risky. There are bad guys everywhere, and once you start flexing your winnings publicly, you never know what might happen next.

So yeah, winning big quietly feels much more fun and comfortable for me.

I'll compare the OP's post about winning alone to drinking alcohol. It feels the same to me. What does it feel like to drink alone? And who drinks in company? Alone, people become more addicted to their habits. I always play with friends, and we spend our winnings together. I've said it many times before: gambling should be fun, bringing a sense of excitement. Of course, we always enjoy looking like winners, but learning to curb your vanity so as not to appear overconfident helps you avoid offending others, thereby encouraging them to try their hand at gambling.

Personally, I prefer winning big alone, because I keep my gambling a secret from my family, who are very religious. Furthermore, I don't want anyone to know about my gambling activities other than a few friends.

It's true that winning big in public, like at a casino, can potentially provide a different thrill because it makes us feel happy and great. However, for me, it would be a problem if my family found out. So I prefer winning big alone, and when that happens, the thrill is just as great as winning big in public, because both bring the same sense of happiness, but my privacy remains intact.

Yeah, I agree.

Winning alone lets you process the entire think calmly.

If you are surrounded by people, most probably you will be spending it all in no time.

I have been in both situations. Winning big in a crowd, or more precisely when I am with friends, is a more dramatic and emotional moment. All eyes seem to be on me, and it feels like people are saying, “How lucky he is to have won big today”. On the other hand, when i'm alone, it feels quieter. The reflex to shout might last only a moment, but the rest is felt in the heart a sense of joy, a calmness that arises when you can enjoy the victory without the public spotlight. It's like inner satisfaction.

There can also ve a rush of emotions in both situations, it all depends on the individual. Some people are triggered emotionally by little experiences easily compared to others, so this isn't the same for everyone. Whether you win in front of a crowd or not you must always be in control of your emotions. When gambling controls how you feel then just know that younare doing ot wrongly.  Few months ago i read a story about someone that died of being overly excited after winning a certain amount. It doesn't matter whether it's a feeling of joy or depression it must be controlled.

One advantage of winning big alone is privacy. No one would know that you hit the jackpot unless you tell your friends about it. This also contributes to your safety as well given that there is a rising activity of criminal cases regarding gambling on land-based casinos.


Yeah- you might feel a rockstar by winning huge but this also puts you in a risky position where your safety may be compromised. What if someone follows you after you win big? What if someone gets your personal identification and while you're on your way home, they might rob you? Lots of what ifs and it's just not that worth it to feel like a rockstar.

Oh yeah and one more thing- if you become the center of attention, people would follow you and ask for tips endlessly.


At the end of the day, this depends on the overall attitude and purpose of the person gambling. If they want attention, then winning big in front of a crowd might suit them. But if the person aims for personal safety and security, then winning alone may be the ideal environment for them.

And the same way will you also be a target to arm robbers, kidnappers and those who wish to steal the money away from you. Because to be frankly speaking, I personally prefer to win huge sum of money alone, in other to prevent people knowing I just won such huge sum of money. Because at least they should be able to know I won big after seeing the kind of physical investments, land properties and assets I have bought, while still having a doubt, rather than be fully aware how much I won in public, which is likely to drag people's attention to you in public. Because for me, safety is my number one priority.

If you are an individual that loves privacy and a simple life style then the win quietly is a go get for you. Because  why would I let the entire world know about my success or achievement? I believe in my results speaking for me but on a low key. Life should be private no need of making noise with your success because I'm sure your down times are mostly never heard so  even your successes should be on the low.  Avoid attracting unnecessary attention and attractuon to yourself. 

When it comes to satisfaction, winning big in front of a crowd can certainly make us feel more satisfied, allowing us to boast and mock those who lost, hahaha LOL. However, when you boast about your big win in front of a crowd, you must accept the consequences if someone later asks for a share of your winnings, and some gamblers will hate you, especially if they are the ones you defeated.

Meanwhile, if you are quite stingy, then it is better to gamble alone. By gambling alone, you can enjoy the results of gambling by yourself without anyone suddenly asking for a share.

As for me personally, I prefer to gamble with friends, so when I win, I can be a little boastful, even though in the end I have to share some of the winnings, whether it's giving my friends money to gamble with or simply treating them to food and beer to celebrate the victory.

To be honest controlling emotions is really the most difficult part of gambling or any competition. I have seen many people lose their joy when they win and make wrong decisions when they lose out of anger or frustration. In fact, the brain works on emotions not logic.

In my opinion gambling becomes dangerous only when it becomes dependent on emotions. Playing with a cool head and knowing your limits is the greatest strength. Because in the end if you lose control loss is inevitable.

Winning in front of others actually come with that rush of excitement and attention, but celebrating alone brings a different kind of peace and a moment where you can truly absorb what just happened without any noise or distraction. Both experiences have their own beauty. It really depends on what kind of satisfaction you are craving at that moment.

This is a personal thing. For someone like me, I would prefer a solo win where nobody knows the amount I won.

I don't want the gossip of, look at that person that won this amount from this betting shop, the person did this, not did that, on that day to them. Don't want that pointing fingers for people to talk about me for some time, when I don't need that, but a private life that nobody knows how much I won or how much I lose

For those who like to show off their achievements and victories, there's certainly an emotional advantage to winning in front of other gamblers. Since I prefer anonymity, I can't say for sure what that difference is. And this would only work in a physical casino; when gambling online, only you and those with you will know if you won and how much you won (except for those who gamble secretly from family and friends, of course).

In my opinion, if you bet and win a big prize, only tell those you trust, or don't say anything at all.

The differences are clear. Winning big alone, no one sees us win. But winning in front of a crowd, many people see us win and we can share the best moment with them. But we should think about the crime that may happen and we don't know who will be doing bad things to us. We can ask for help from the casino when we want to go home to protect us from the bad people. If you're winning big alone especially in your home, you will not worry about that. You can keep your big win for yourself and not tell others. That will be safe so you can choose what you want.

I am an introvert so I am more satisfied to get my own victory without other people knowing, I feel awkward in public and I don't want to be noticed, people have different types but we can conclude that most people are satisfied if they are noticed by many people

I prefer to keep everything to myself. I try to refrain from exposing big wins in front of everyone. Big wins in gambling are very rare. Small gamblers say that only the lucky ones get big wins. But I think exposing a big win in gambling is a bit harmful for that gambler. This keeps other gamblers always watching him. Gambling is not done by luck alone. Real gamblers gamble using some of their own tricks. If someone follows a gambler deeply, the chances of that gambler winning the next gamble are very low. If a gambler is in everyone's eyes, he keeps losing even small gambles. So I don't like exposing a big win in front of everyone. I think celebrating the win yourself is a good way.

Risk assessment and self-control are very important in gambling. Especially after a big win, self-control is important.
There are many people who take risks again because of their confidence after a big win. There are also many who take a break after a big win and take action by planning and analyzing. Naturally, everyone gets encouragement and confidence in the game because of winning.
However, when someone makes risky decisions beyond their capabilities due to overconfidence and suffers losses, it can have a very bad effect on them. They may even lose more than they had previously gained.

Therefore, the increase in enthusiasm or confidence due to winning in gambling can be risky if there is no self-control. In addition, it should be remembered that there is no possibility that you will definitely win in gambling.

I get anxious in front of a crowd, and I become the centre of attention, so yes, it feels different for me compared to how I feel when I am on my own. So the same one goes for the one who loves the attention from others, they will be enjoy such wins more compared to the ones that they expereinced on their owner.

The thing there is that, not everyone wants to be the center of attraction or feel invincible in front of a crowd. Personally, I don’t like too much crowd, I like maintaining a low profile. If I’m to choose between winning a huge amount alone or in front of my family, and in the presence of a crowd in a land based casino, I’d definitely prefer or choose to experience that win alone or with my family, at least I know that people who are celebrating with me are truly and genuinely happy for my victory, which I’m not very sure for strangers who I only met at a casino.

To me there isn't much of a difference for people that find it hard to control their emotions, they can feel this rush of emotions if front of a crowd or even when they win privately...if you are a gamble that lacks stoism you might have issues with how they approach gambling...But this might be different for some gamblers, there are gamblers that get emotional in front of a crowd when they but are able.to contain their emotions in private
