Title: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win.
Post by: Lida93 on January 03, 2024, 02:19:12 PM
There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.

I agree with everything that you said OP, greed has made a lot of people to lose big in gambling because they feel that it is the amount of money that they use to gamble that will allow them to win big, and they fail to think that what if they lost the bet, which is more common than winning. Whatever amount that you use to win your bet, you should be contented with that win and don't become greedy that regretting that you didn't use a bigger amount to win big. If you are such person that regrets your action for using a smaller amount, you will see that the next day, you will want to stake a bigger amount because you feel that you might win the game forgetting that the game you won was based on luck. If all gamblers consider losing in their mind, I believe that they will be cautious of how much they will be using to gamble, especially when it is an amount that they cannot afford to lose. In gambling it is either you win or you lose and most gambler lose more than they win, but most gamblers put winning in mind instead of losing which is not fair.

I have not thought like this before, that had it been I have used higher amount of money to gamble on certain matches or game that I would have won more. But I noticed that I did increased the amount I used to gamble. That was because the more the money that you staked, the more you can win. Although not because of past games won. I do not think more about the lose but just the profit. And the more that I lost at the time.

I fully agree with you, it's so much more important to focus on the risk side of gambling than it is to focus on the potential profit we can make. It should be obvious that the more money we use the more profit we could make from gambling. The problem is that if we only focus on the winnings is that we face the risk to get large losses. At least for me the goal is more to avoid large losses than to get the maximum possible return. The worst thing in gambling that could happen would be to go broke. Once we lose all our money there is no coming back. As long as we still keep some of our bankroll, we always have the chance to recover at a later stage.

We all know that Greediness is a curse but in the gambling case, it is even more dangerous. Greediness can make your winnings in gambling to turn into losses. People after winning in gambling do not remain satisfied and want to get more profit. This state of mind, (which is greediness), will never make you rich in gambling. You will only lose in gambling if you do not have control over your emotions and greed.

If all gamblers consider losing in their mind, I believe that they will be cautious of how much they will be using to gamble, especially when it is an amount that they cannot afford to lose. In gambling it is either you win or you lose and most gambler lose more than they win, but most gamblers put winning in mind instead of losing which is not fair.

Ideally, a gambler should only put that money into gambling which he can afford to lose. In most cases, the gamblers will not have the extra money but that is not a problem even if they put their money with proper risk management. If they know that on a loss, they will only lose this much amount, they can manage their portfolio easily. The problem arises, if after losing and loses, the person keeps on putting more and more money into gambling to recover the losses, and keeps losing.

Can't count how many times this crossed my mind that I did later on. But I do choose my game which there is a higher possibility that I would win but also consider that amount that is not too huge but not too little. Although there are really times that unexpected things will happen.

This is probably because we are just too optimistic that we will win and looking forward to the reward is always luring us to bet which is sometimes its worth it.

And let's also face the fact that whenever we increase our bets the results become more different on the next one.
This is something we must not do, increasing the bet amount not just because we can afford to lose it but because circumstances will change once we bet differently in terms of money.
I've seen it the hard way which is testing it with my own money. I won for like x1000 and so I tried doubling the amount of my bet. I found myself losing more and I cannot even feel the winning streak happening again. Worst, it even took the money that I kept in my vault because I wanted it all back in one sweep. I mean, revenge will always come after you lose what you won for a long time and then it's all taken from you in just a small amount of time.
Let's not be greedy. I know it will happen a lot of times because we want bigger returns but somehow there is something detecting what we are doing and it will cost us all our money and even our capital.

Good for you if you are not having such thought like some other gamblers do when they have won a bet. It is true that the higher the money you use to stake the higher the amount you are to win but let not forget that the chances of winning is very slim while that of losing our money is massive that's why whether you chose to increase your bets or not the most important thing is that you're betting within the range of an amount you can afford to lose. I know this because I have read many of your comments in the gambling board you have a bankroll percentage you gamble with, so whatever increment in your bet you make I believe is within that bankroll, but what about other gamblers when increasing their bet? The tendency is that they go above their range in a bid to get bigger wins which could be lost eventually.

It can be said that it is greed because you are not satisfied with the amount won only $1,000 of the amount of capital you spend, honestly I never bet a larger amount it is too risky and I can't afford to lose a lot of money in the game.

Yes if you feel comfortable losing $5000 why not? But who is willing to lose that money because it's a big amount for us, I would still consider this greedy because there is no satisfaction of small wins, it's already addicted and wants to catch up with previous losses.

       -   Greed doesn't really do our gamblers any good, to be honest. It is better for the gambler to just focus on the amount he will lose from gambling. Because if that's the only way his mindset will be, that's better, and it's better that you win gambling when you don't expect it.

Because the more you hope that you will win because of luck, the more you will experience losses every time you bet on the casino gambling platform. When you think about winning, it shouldn't be like that. Just in my opinion,.

Many gambler can't controlling well their emotion and greedy, exactly true what said by OP when gambler won high amount with capital $1000 and upcoming day they will use bigger capital to earn more winning amount.
In gambling we must controlling emotion and greedy because both side most important with our bet losses or win, some one have win big amount but greedy and keep continue to win more higher amount make them blame and losses all winning before.
I don't so serious have to bet with bigger amount until $1000 because get fun only with gambling and make small fund for betting just in sport betting, not brave bring bigger amount in gambling with potential could loss more than winning expected.

So many newbies are doing this, they think or plan the amount that they are going to win regardless of the money they are going to spend, they always think that the next rolls are their lucky rolls, so many newbies are doing this on martingale method, I'm guilty of this when I was just starting you cannot blame newbies the doubling method sounds logical, you just need to increase your bet to recover your all your losses.

It is okay to set up a goal on what we want to win, but we must consider that there's no guarantee of winning and the house edge will play out anytime and will take over your game, so be realistic you can hope to win but play only with money that you can only lose, do not put pressure on winning.

I have different point of view tbh, I will not focus on how much I may lose as well as the potential win but I'll focus more on how to manage my money.
Too much focus on how much you may lose will not good as it will bring negative mindset mindset and can be something stressful for some people.
IMO I do not need to focus on how much I may lose, as long as I always stay on my gambling limit, I dont have anything to worry.
Gambling is about taking the risk for something bigger, if we are not ready to take the risk, we should not even gamble at all than focusing too much on losing probability.

If you focus on how much you will lose, that means you will focus on how to manage your money that you are using to gamble, having gambling budget and not using more than what you can afford to lose. So this makes me not to completely agrees with you. It is good to focus on how you can lose for you not to fall victim of gambling loss.

It's better to focus on how to win and be positive for it helps to see better choices while you are already in a situation.

But if you have not started gambling yet, it's best to just not gamble and just wait til you have some extra to wager. I know it's very tempting to just wage a big amount to win a big amount but when you know you have no such amount. Just be with the small amount and maybe try the parlay to win big.

Gambling should have a budget limit so that we don't really regret the money we have lost because of course we have to play with money that we are ready to lose, so a budget limit can also help us not to gamble beyond our limits, let alone trying to think about regretting a bet that should have given us a win but we didn't bet. Even bigger, always remember that human behavior is sometimes never satisfied so when you win $1k don't expect more.

Every gambler must have a limit point to stop gambling when they win in order to remain consistent to avoid gambling addiction and losing a lot of money. On average, gamblers who take action when they win are often greedy which makes them really lose control and gamble irresponsibly. , it is important to be a responsible gambler in order to stay in control of safe gambling.

I do not agree with this. I am gambling and I have friends that are gambling. We focus on winning and we gamble often but we lose more. The more most gamblers focus on winning, the more the house will earn money from them. We have advised ourselves not to use money that can affect our feelings to gamble which is the right advise. That advice alone is because we also focus on the fact that we are losing.

I have also had such though because you will always wish you win more from betting higher. But like you rightly included in your post let our focus be on how much we might lose and not how much we will win. Having this mindset is important because it will help us to reduce over-gambling. But a perfect means of overcoming the temptation or urge to bet above what we cannot afford to lose is our ability to have and judiciously follow a gambling budget. Having a budget will save you from the pressure to gamble more than you can be able to lose.

It can be said that it is greed because you are not satisfied with the amount won only $1,000 of the amount of capital you spend, honestly I never bet a larger amount it is too risky and I can't afford to lose a lot of money in the game.
Greed caused by a lack of contentment could contribute to the motivation to increase the bet because you assume you could win more. I think it is always important to be content with wins because gambling is unpredictable. Nobody knows the outcome of any bet, which is why gamblers should be careful.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.
I have not thought like this before, that had it been I have used higher amount of money to gamble on certain matches or game that I would have won more.

I do not think more about the lose but just the profit. And the more that I lost at the time.
What OP wrote is majorly about sports betting from the tone of the write up. In sports betting, it is safe to go for less risky games with bigger capital that big risky games with small capital.

Everyone should have their special way of gambling not considering what the other man is doing. What works for you might not necessarily work for another person.

Also budgeting and sticking to it is a way to avoid what OP have said. If you have mapped out $5k for monthly gambling and on your own, you exhausted the 5k in one gambling, this means you will be without gambling for the rest of the month only if you are disciplined enough to obey your gambling budget.

Many of us are guilty of this, we focus more on how much or our potential to win than what we may lose, that's because we want to be positive and this positivity backfires most of the time, we pressure ourselves to win to the point that we keep adding our bankroll until we lose everything.
I notice in my gambling activity, winnings come when you least expect them and when you are relaxed because when we are too pressured we tend to make bad decisions, I tell myself to focus on enjoyment and if the opportunity opens up I grab it.
I still focus on winning but I take enjoyment my priority, we should gamble to have fun, and positive results happen when we enjoy the game.

The gamblers that make the most wins somehow had a free or happy mindset at the time and that's why they won seamlessly without thinking too much about the outcome, and that's how it should be always.

When I do gamble on the times that I do, I try to be happy at least. That's why I see many gamblers getting tipsy before or during gambling so as to be in a merry frequency where they don't think about how much spent but how much that's the target winnings for the day.

I think pessimistic gamblers make more luck during gambling than the optimistic counterparts focused solely on how much is going to be spent on gambling alway.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

Yeah, usually any time I win a bet, I do have those kinds of thoughts running through my head. There will come some inner voice saying, "Oh, if you had known, you would have staked a huge amount for that game.". Any time I play Crash, the moment I stake a little amount of money, the bird will keep running for up to 300x, but if I decide to take a risk and increase my stake, it will not even get to 50x before it crashes. It's something that happens more frequently to me.

Despite all those thoughts of not staking with a huge amount ringing in my head, I don't have the self-control of staking with a very huge amount that will make me regret my decision if, in the future, the game gets burned. Gambling is a game of fun, gains, and losses, and if a gambler is not ready to lose, then they must not gamble. If a gambler is not also financially sound enough to stake a huge amount, it's better to stake with the little they have, and if they are able to win, let them be content with what they have won.

Personally, I can't deny the fact that I still have these kinds of thoughts, but I don't allow them to influence my decision on the amount I wish to stake.

Yes the person needs to deposit amount which he can afford to lose or thinking that this is already lost money.
it is true that this thinking of winning big and betting more cause people to lose and sometimes lose everything they have.
here a conditions: if he played with 5k then his mind would not work like worked with 1k because of risk and probably the bet will be losing bet in the end.
so size of bet affect our mind to take wrong bets most of the times it happens with me all the times.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard someone say to focus on losing before but it isn’t the worst advice when it comes to gambling. This sort of goes along with the saying that you should never bet more than you can afford to lose. Sometimes things happen against the odds and if you go all in on a sure thing, you’d better make sure it’s worth it.

If I had to count it, maybe I don't know how many times I lost and if I did a calculation, it would only show that this gambling activity is the most financially detrimental activity. And when we know this reality, there are at least two possibilities for what will happen next. The first thing is that you decide to leave the activity and give up sincerely the money you have spent on gambling. Meanwhile, in the second possibility, you play even crazier, with full ambition to win and make this gambling activity a profitable activity. And full of hope, that when he wins later, then all the forms of defeat that he has experienced will be replaced immediately. it's just empty talk, in fact the more ambitious you are to win, the more difficult it will be for you to get that win. Ultimately, gambling remains a detrimental activity.

Exactly, I share the same point of view. I have my gambling amount budget fixed for every month. I wouldn't have a problem even if I lost them all because the sum is in my budget already. Usually, I spend less amount than my budget LOL. I don't consider myself a gambler either; it's fun to play, and place bets.

in fact the more ambitious you are to win, the more difficult it will be for you to get that win.
If someone is running after chasing the wins, I guess they are likely to lose their bankroll so fast.

I understand the thrill of a good gamble, but it's wise to set a budget and stick to it.  The what ifs can tempt us to risk more than we ought.  Though a big win excites our greed, losing it all sobers us up real quick and 

it's best to play for fun, not funds.  Quit while you're ahead walk away when youre behind.  Win or lose, be content and count both as entertainment.  Then you needn't chase what's gone or fear what's to come. 

Moderation brings lasting enjoyment to games of chance.  With reasonable bets, we weather unlucky rolls in stride, neither destitute nor desperate.  And any surprising gains become blessing not burden.

So I aim to wager lightly, no matter how alluring the odds.  The anxiety of an empty wallet outweighs any jackpot.  And a full one lets me laugh with Lady Luck, win or lose.

focusing on how much you will lose while gambling instead of concentrating on having fun will only reduced the fun that you intend to have while gambling. Any money allocated to gambling should be an amount that you already in your heart have deemed okay to loose in the quest for your fun and entertainment.

If you are still reluctant to loose an amount of money you gamble with, then maybe you should not be gambling with that money in the first place.

Stay in check!

Lately I am focusing on this but in theory I think everyone knows this,I think everyone sets a predefined bankroll to gamble despite that most of the times we don't stay true to that promise and that is what keeps us going,the potential to win,it is exactly this thing that keeps us coming back and breaking our promises to have a defined bankroll to use.I never think if I had more money I would do better in a game as I truly think that every spin is independent of each other and I am talking about slot machines here because this type of game is what has the highest level of addiction and not for nothing is the best money maker to the casino.If we stay true to our promise to not overdo our set budget,we can be safe yet the potential to win keeps us coming back.

There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

these are a whole series of calculations that any player must keep in mind to avoid finding themselves with budget problems. you must have such numbers, if you have a family or you're living by your own work...

Unfortunately, those who gamble compulsively are unable to limit themselves and this easily leads to the accumulation of serious financial losses...and in a "recurrent" way people try to overcome these financial problems by playing even more and exposing more to economic problems...

It is basic human nature, they expect a result and when it happens they get credit for it happening even if they have no play in it and they won't be thinking of otherwise at the particular moment. But the next moment if they go for a big amount then they are supposed to be then that is the problem which they shouldn't do at all.

This is debatable discussion. Let’s lower down a bit the value of bet to make it realistic for everyone here, let’s say the winning bet is 10$ while he was hoping to place bet 50$. The correct answer will highly depend on the amount of bankroll which gambler have that time.

I will definitely think the same if I have enough bankroll to cover while I was hesitant on the amount of bet that I will place before that match start then later on win. On your example, It’s ok to think about what if bets amount if he has the capability to place that amount base on his bankroll because will think about supposed high bets if they don’t have bankroll to do that.

This is how regular think. You’re correct that gambler should set a maximum amount that they can lose in gambling but not to the point that they gave prioritize on it instead of the profit target.

If you focus on how much you will lose, that means you will focus on how to manage your money that you are using to gamble, having gambling budget and not using more than what you can afford to lose. So this makes me not to completely agrees with you. It is good to focus on how you can lose for you not to fall victim of gambling loss.

When you focus on how much you are going to lose in gambling, it means you are doing nothing but management of your deposit and when you manage your deposit, you are indirectly trying to maximize profits; how about that? As a gambler, you should never sleep on your deposit and always check well before you make that move, you should have limit to amount you want to bet and maximum accumulated bets or multiplier you want to use. Just because Mr T win with 200 oods or multiplier doesn't mean you should do the same, you will lose if you copy another person.

In as much as it's good to focus on the loss, you are already making sure of good profits, with this strategy you are indirectly gambling responsibly and it will help you reduce your loses and even plan ahead of what game is good for you because if you play one and it didn't work, you wouldn't try it next time or when you try a method and it didn't work, you will avoid such mistake next time.

Earning money is very difficult, but someone can easily throw it away into gambling. They think that by gambling they can multiply their income, but in reality, gambling will only make you poorer. And even if you get a big win, the winnings will go back into gambling. Because you think that you are capable and skilled enough to achieve a win, so you behave carelessly by continuing to double the amount of your bet, which in the end, the winnings you get are not put to good use and the money you have is used up for gambling. So what's left? What remains is only regret because you behaved carelessly when gambling.

Without good financial management and self-control, the gambling you do will only end in loss and deep regret. So immediately improve yourself, control your gambling activities and finances well. So even if you don't get a profit from the gambling you do, at least you get pleasure from the activity.

I've also been privileged to see many gamblers as well have this same kind of expression towards the end of what they have already achieved, if they won the bet, they will make such statement that had I known, but what if they never had the opportunity of winning at all, can they afford to risk loosing that same amount they would have love to bet with if it came as win, to me I see it as more of being greed than having passion for taking risk in it highest order, don't use the amount you can't afford to loose for gambling.

You know what they say:

“If you don’t buy a ticket, you’ll never win the lottery.”

The same goes for any kind of gambling. If you don’t want to lose or win money then don’t play. If you want to win all the time just get a easy job with good pay or better yet be a merchant and sell stuff.

You know what merchants do. They buy cheap from their suppliers and sell high to their customers. It is like trading, no, it is trading but they are always on the winning side (unless the customers lose their interest on the merc’s items)

When you gamble or trade alts you may end up on the losing side but the mercs are usually not. If you want to make the winning bets all the time, start a business and sell stuff.

I have never found myself in such condition or situation because any one who gamble often and keep saying that you should know that such person is being driven by greed at least he should take whatever they have won than regret for not doubling their wager.
Have they also thought about the lost maybe if they knew about the winning and go double their wager and later realised that they entirely lost all their money would they have to blame themselves or whom are they going to pour the blame on?

It will always be better to anticipate the worse outcome in order to safeguard oneself from regret and frustrations which could yield to a bigger problem it won't be managed. Well, it is normal to expect for profit but at least be realistic in order to not lose that much as well. Losing $100 to a single bet is worse than 10 different bets for that hundred 'coz at least there would be a bigger chance to not be coming home with nothing. In such way, efficiency with your bets is also concerned all will also be considered, making your gambling journey better in the long run.

No one to blame other than gambler herself. Being greedy won't put you to a better place i  most instances especially with gambling wherein it depends on your luck either you lose or win. Let's say you doubled your wager 'coz of clear odds but the underdog managed to comeback and then no ball is being missed(perhaps with nba gambling). Blaming other people won't make things better but will just push a gambler to be nothing.

Op this is true talk, and it always like that when we win a bet, Some of us don't really understand it when they say gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose, they only focus on the winning side and forget that it's a 50/50 thing, the same way you won would also be the same way you would have lost should the bet not go your way, when it comes to risk management trading taught me how to manage risk in whatever thing I do that involves money after that I lost heavily in trading because of greed. So I usually apply risk when gambling too.

I agree with what you said about the topic because this will create the preparation feelings of whatever the game result will be for the gambler and this is the exact impression I always have which has helped me to control my gambling buzz so far.
Whenever I am lucky to have won above my initial deposit what I always do is withdraw so that I can easily gamble with no emotion and when the game is not in my favor I always switch to another which always be in my favor.
This is the strategy I used days ago on Bets and stake.

which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".
This is the thought of greedy gamblers because what every game presents is a chance and winning is not guaranteed. It's better to always go to bet with the amount that won't cause emotional gambling.

I believe people should be more thankful for what they have achieved, instead of constantly grumbling that it could have been better if this or that... When gamblers act like you exemplified, it shows a discontent from their part, despite their winnings, what also indicates greed and evil eye over other gamblers' superior winnings, as they wish to be on someone else's shoes.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play.

Things happen as they have to happen in luck matters. Maybe if he had used 5000$ to bet, the outcome would have been different, because he wasn't intended to make more profit than he made on that respective moment. Luck is a mysterious factor and can't be manipulated in our favour. It just happens naturally and occasionaly. I believe gamblers should focus in having a good time betting, while forgeting about potential winnings and potential losses. If they have selected a limited budget to gamble, it shouldn't be a big issue if they lost the whole budget, since it was one of the possible expected scenarios since the beginning.

Many gambler can't controlling well their emotion and greedy, exactly true what said by OP when gambler won high amount with capital $1000 and upcoming day they will use bigger capital to earn more winning amount.
In gambling we must controlling emotion and greedy because both side most important with our bet losses or win, some one have win big amount but greedy and keep continue to win more higher amount make them blame and losses all winning before.
I don't so serious have to bet with bigger amount until $1000 because get fun only with gambling and make small fund for betting just in sport betting, not brave bring bigger amount in gambling with potential could loss more than winning expected.

We all gamble, but the key is to gamble responsibly. Many people lack this quality, and we all know it's difficult to control your emotions and remember that if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. and acting upon each choice made as a result, your desire to bet more money increases as you win more. If it weren't for their addiction, addicts could gamble to an extent, but there is a limit. Additionally, the amount of money should not be excessive even if you decide to increase it. All of this is only possible when the gambler is constantly preoccupied with work. we know that when you win you will be exited but we should not be over whelmed by excitement. and trying not to be greedy is very okay and one of the best. to me betting 100k is a lot i will be so scared of losing.

Before we gamble, we should allocate a certain amount of funds for gambling, and whatever we use, the amount will still be below the amount of money we deposit. But the problem is that there are still many gamblers who have deposited a sum of money, say $100, as capital to play gambling. But he experienced loss and lost his $100, so he finally deposited another $100 to continue gambling. That means he has exceeded his limit because he has already used $200 for gambling.

But if he could win after using $50 and managed to win $150, he would immediately stop gambling. He will take a short break before deciding to continue gambling or deciding to end his gambling game. And if he is a wise gambler, he will decide to stop gambling and enjoy his winnings.

A full understanding of this topic will help people to stop chasing profits unnecessarily. The eagerness to make profit at all cost makes people to keep pumping money into gambling even when it is obvious that the profit they are chasing isn't forth coming. And if they eventually make one win, they stake more money to win more and the cycle continues. Sometimes people might tag it as greed (which is correct in most cases). It usually starts when the gamblers involved begin to see gambling as a ticket to wealth. If they do not call themselves to order, they will gamble away all they have gathered so far. Gambling is sweet if played well but if you do not play your cards well, you will regret knowing about gambling in the first place.

The gambler who get into the gambling at the early stages will try to make the big bucks as their winnings.But later only he will accept the way of the approaching towards the gambling,So he will do the accept of some dollars as the return.This was the fact used by the experienced gamblers,if you are new gamblers with less experience.You should also accept the words of the experienced gamblers,they will share their own opinions to the new people.You should add additional knowledge along with the words of the experienced gambler.Then the output will be good then the expected one in the gambling site.

The stake of dollars always give them the money,but he should check the website.If the exchange is good enough he can use the money to hold as the stake,surely he will get good returns daily from the same site.But if he had good knowledge in the gambling site,he can do the gambling rather than staking in the unknown website.Even the trusted exchange will get away from us like the localbitcoin,So it’s better to do the gambling if really you had the good knowledge in the gambling and don’t play all the game in the gambling site.Choose one game and improve your skills in the game.

On the one hand, we are talking about loss control. On the other hand, if a person thinks about losing, it will be more difficult for him to win, because winning in gambling is associated with great risk. So we are faced with a dilemma - to fear losing or to take risks. Sometimes winning comes when everything is at stake

This doesnt really only happen on gambling but also in investment as well on which on the time that you would really be that assuming that what if you would be able to stake much bigger amount? You would really be definitely be having those kind of assumptions and thinking that what ifs then this is where you would really be starting on making those bigger stakes because you would really be going having those assumptions that you would really be having on the same luck that you have that encountered. You would really be going into a point that you would really be that too desperate and now that you have those winnings then stakes would become that
higher because you would really be assuming that you would be able to get on the same hit without even realizing that everything was just that because of luck.

Having no contentment and you are really that something that too greedy what makes these kind of mistakes do really happen. You arent really just that making yourself that grateful on the things that you are currently
dealing or having with.Human beings are naturally  greedy but there are those people who are really that having those kind of approach on things as if it was really just that right
but the truth is that they do become  that too delusional.

No one to blame other than gambler herself. Being greedy won't put you to a better place i  most instances especially with gambling wherein it depends on your luck either you lose or win.
This same thinking can make people to go borrow money to gamble knowing too well that even though they increased their wager the likelihood to win is very less so why go ahead to increase and regret at last. Inasmuch as i know there is no clear winning or I am not monitoring the games closely i won't bother myself to start thinking of a game or match I am not sure of due to greed engulfing over him.
We should be more focused with what we have already planned to gamble with and the outcome should be satisfying instead of looking for a more bigger pay out.

This raises an important question: how can a player know when to stop, even if he has won a lot. A lot is also a different amount of money for everyone. Some people will set the winning limit at $2k, while for others $500k will not seem enough and they will want to play more. I also consider it an important point that even if you stop and leave the casino, this winning will end, because almost all players will begin to deny themselves nothing, and there will be nothing left of it. There will also be many relatives and friends who will want you to lend them money. In the end, you can end up without money and with friends who are offended by the player.

Focusing on losses is much more important than thinking about potential gains, I'm sure of that. It’s like comparing reality to distant dreams. And if the player does not think about losses, then these same losses will make the player think about them.

It's basically driven by an element of regret in trusting your own judgement and it is not limited to just gambling, it can seep into all avenues of life. Whether you're buying a stock, or stocking up on a particular product that is on special offer or not buying the house of your dreams at a particular price that was offered. Basically you should assess and take any perceived opportunity that you can if you want to have satisfaction in life, but it'll take you quite a few years of reflections on missed opportunity before you might understand what is worth taking. You shouldn't be greedy either and in the scenario posed, I'd be more than happy walking away with a nice profit because you can become bitter if you dwell on it.

I think there is no question here and the OP has explained the most important thing that gamblers must have both in terms of the limits that all gamblers must have and also with the perspective that must be applied to a win. However, putting any amount that we can be responsible for whatever the final result is, especially losing, will be a much better choice than putting a large amount. I can only conclude that if you gamble by putting a large amount then there is clearly something you are looking for, it seems that your goal is to get a bigger return (winnings) and that is greed.

The scenario that you should have gotten a much bigger win by putting a big amount but at that time you only put the amount you could afford, I think regret still has the possibility to happen because obviously if you put a big amount at that time then the win you achieved must also be much bigger, but this is the wrong mindset and point of view on gambling. The OP already said that we should focus more on the risk of losing than the chance of winning, because gambling is about luck and maybe you already know how difficult it is to get that luck. So I think there is no harm in not regretting at all because after all prevention is better than cure.

I always calculate how much money I am willing to lose and when I put the money in the casino I will play for how long if I am losing consecutively, this helps me to have an idea of how I can manage the money I have so that I play for longer without me putting more money into the casino, then I put the money into the casino and always bet with the same amount of money, for example if I bet 1$ in a game and lose, in the next game I will bet 1 again $, even if I lose again, in the next game I will bet $1 again, that is, I don't chase losses, because when you chase losses you lose control and start to become bankrupt.

when I put $1 in a game and win, I still put $1 in the next game, I don't think I'm the biggest bettor when I get it right, I don't increase the amount of money when I get it right, that is, regardless of whether I always lose or win I put $1 on each bet when my bankroll is small and I aim to play for a long time without putting more money back into the casino, this is a strategy I use because I don't have a lot of money to keep playing. For example, if I set $10 to play for 1 month, then this means that each week I will bet on 2 games and there will be a week when, if there are good games, I will bet $3 on 3 games.

If I manage to leave with a profit and end the month with more than 10$, then in the following month I will put more money in each bet, something like for example if in the following month I have 20$ then each week I will bet 4$ in each game, that is, in each game I will put 2$ and not 1$ as I did in the month I made the deposit, if I lose all 20$, I will not be sad because from the beginning I already have it in my head that the 10$ They are destined to play and lose everything and I won't miss them. having good financial management, having good bank management, having good time management are the key to not complaining or not being sad when you lose and are the key to not becoming addicted

Many gamblers usually feel this way; they think that because the game played in their favour, they have made the mistake of not placing a bet using a higher amount, which could have increased the amount that they could have won from the same game, which is a very bad way to look at games and winnings.
 
Most gamblers with such behaviour, if time is not taken, try out another game, and if they happen to win that one again, the next game, which they will have higher confidence that they will win, might tempt them up to the point where they will need to borrow money in order to complete their wager with the hope that they will be refunded when they win, and such games always turn out the other way around. Most gamblers just need to learn the hard way.

Absolutely, mate. It's a common scenario in the gambling world where individuals, despite winning, wish they had staked more. This sentiment often stems from a mix of greed and a desire for larger gains. However, it's important to know that there's no surefire way to predict outcomes in gambling.Gamblers sometimes overlook the fundamental aspect that luck is a significant factor, overshadowing any perceived skill. The idea of a "professional gambler" is often a misconception because, in reality, the unpredictability of luck remains a constant.

Winning today doesn't ensure a similar fortune tomorrow. It's wise not to assume potential winnings from larger bets and, instead, appreciate and focus on what you've actually earned. Consistency in luck is rare in gambling, making it essential to approach each session with a level-headed perspective. A key principle is to always gamble within your means, using money that you can afford to lose. Avoid the temptation of putting all your funds into a single bet in the hope of a substantial win. Diversifying bets would be a more realistic strategy for a gambler.

No one to blame other than gambler herself. Being greedy won't put you to a better place i  most instances especially with gambling wherein it depends on your luck either you lose or win.
This same thinking can make people to go borrow money to gamble knowing too well that even though they increased their wager the likelihood to win is very less so why go ahead to increase and regret at last. Inasmuch as i know there is no clear winning or I am not monitoring the games closely i won't bother myself to start thinking of a game or match I am not sure of due to greed engulfing over him.
We should be more focused with what we have already planned to gamble with and the outcome should be satisfying instead of looking for a more bigger pay out.
On the time that kind of mindset kicks in on which you do assume that your next bets would be a win, then the nearest thing that you would really be doing because you do have that kind of boost
up in mind that the next one would really be that bigger. I do agree on what people been saying that it wont really be that much of  concern if you are losing that a long streak because it is really just that a normal for a gambler behavior that one single big win will really be wiping up those losses and this what makes you that  dedicated on proceeding until you would be finding yourself that getting bust up.
This is why it would be always important that you should really know on how to assess things carefully whether it would really be giving out such bad impact or not.
Its impossible that you cant really be able to assess things accordingly.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.


I used to have that mindset in the what-if scenario, it is greediness that takes over our mind that is why later on we take on high-risk betting because of that what-if scenario we focus on the what-if we are going to win so with this we keep adding our bankroll and wage more.
This is how we cultivate addiction to gambling we calculate our potential win disregarding the money that we are going to lose and this is how newbies lose their control because they focus on potential wins, of course we all know newbies posting here about methods that they've stumbled not knowing that those methods are obsolete I'm talking about martingale.
Martingale has become a big trap for many newbies because they calculate that they are going to recover all their losses and eventually win disregarding the large bankroll they need to use the martingale.

It's indeed a good thing to consider the other side of the coin. It is indeed a possibility to win, but it is also equally a possibility to lose. The problem with many gamblers is that we are sometimes too assuming, too excited for the possibility of winning that we sometimes forget not to equate it with certainty.

Even myself I sometimes plan or compute how my betting would be after I win this or that amount, but it is not actually the reality. The reality is that I have yet to win all of those money. And winning is not even assured.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

That's why they say: Bet only what you are willing to lose and not how much you would like to win.
Gain is a likely consequence, loss is a concrete reality that will occur!
It can be distressing to see a victory and think that it could be 5x bigger if you had more courage, but the pain of losing 5x more money than you were saving to pay a bill is much more painful. That's why I always say that we should be happy with every victory, even if it's a shame, because if it's consistent, it's possible to reach 5x without taking big risks.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!
An advice that makes sense but that most gamblers will not follow since it is very rare for a person to think this way about anything, they always think about how things will happen exactly as they want them and they are really surprised when this is not the case.

However there is a way around it, and that is by making a budget first in which all your money is distributed to the different areas that need your attention, and only once this is done you can use whatever money that is left to gamble, this way even if you were to lose all of that spare money, it will not have too big of an effect on your finances.

What you are talking about is true and it is a fact that someone will definitely think about betting a large amount if he knows that today he will win and I admit that sometimes I also think like that when I win and to be honest I regret betting small if in the end I win but it is true that's the amount of money I can afford to lose, so I always think about the risk of losing and I always remember that winning in gambling is always uncertain, so even if I win a small amount, I'm still grateful for it and don't try to bet an amount of money that I can't afford to lose us from the risk of greater losses.

And yes I agree with you @OP it is better for us to think about the risk of losing rather than thinking about profits because gambling is a game of chance, if we take risks in increasing the bet amount then we must be prepared to lose that money.

Get the trite phrase mentioned above out of your mind, it is a misused phrase, some believe it is infallible, so much so that they believe it is anti-addict (or loss of money). In the same way, you cannot give advice that works "maybe" on individuality, but it is not the right way, so, thoughts about how much you are going to lose, really, how do you win then, you cannot think about a bet, the Evaluations are monthly, quarterly, etc., that is, long terms,and always in a focus of profits and losses.

this condition often occurs in most gamblers' minds and is very common. I support your statement that this condition will indeed occur in gamblers who have experienced wins before and always say what you say.
even though if he can win using $1k that is already his luck because even if he uses $5k it doesn't necessarily mean he will be lucky because it's all about luck on that day. this is like regretting without thinking about the long term because if you bet $1k, you probably won't have to bear the heavy burden of regret, but if you use $5k but lose, regret will definitely put pressure on your mind and make your mind confused which can have bad impacts such as regret and want to chase losses.

I never do that because after I have full control over my gambling activities, every time I bet, I always estimate the amount I can afford to lose so as not to get disappointed in the long run.
what is certain is that whatever we get today or yesterday is luck that we have got and we have to appreciate the victory even though our minds sometimes say that if we bet bigger, that doesn't necessarily mean that luck will come. respecting money is the key.

Focusing on how much loss we're willing to suffer in gambling is a good thought, so we don't fall into regret, but I'm more focused on how to make a profit in betting, without thinking about big or small profits, because it all depends on the capital we have, then the strategy in the gambling, and the strategies in managing the amount of bets.

You don't have to do that, you know why? Because you'll be paralyzed at how much you're going to lose in gambling and so you end up not playing anymore which is bad in a sense that you end up not enjoying the gambling experience if you continue to gamble because you will be thinking of the potential losses which breaks your concentration so do watch out if you want to look out on your losses because it's going to be a lot of money compared to looking out for potential win, in fact don't even prospect on potential wins, always remember that you don't count the chicks when the eggs hasn't hatched yet.

Maybe you can do this if you want to limit your gambling times or make yourself get more conscious about your gambling since you're seeing how much you're losing, pretty good deterrent into furthering your gambling addiction if you ask me.

For me it was greed because there was an amount that was raised and it was quite significant, especially because I saw or regretted it because the previous bet turned out to be a bigger win if the bet was bigger.
Whatever result is obtained should not be the reason for the gambler to increase his bet unless he has done the calculations and the value he increases is indeed the limit of his ability to lose. Gamblers who like to think "what if" will have difficulty maintaining their limits because they cannot accept the results they get.

Get the trite phrase mentioned above out of your mind,
That's a real shot, I'm not really sure if a gambler can resist saying "ok maybe one more time, what's the harm?" when the previous bet fails. Interactive gambling really tempts you to place more bets. If someone has $1k in his account, that doesn't mean he doesn't have reserves elsewhere to catch up on the $1k he might lose. On the other hand, if we talk about numbers, every big win of one person is a small loss for many others. This means that those who lose will always come back to win someone, this is the gambling matrix.

Greed is the number one problem when gambling. There are times that I set a certain amount or just deposit an amount that I can afford to lose but sometimes go beyond that budget just to try to win back my losses, a few times that I've won a decent amount but lost it all by the end of the day because I want to win more. People as we are we don't have contentment, if we do, those who are already rich would've stopped wanting to become even richer, but we live in a world where money runs everything, the more money you have the more powerful and capable you feel.

As much as possible I try to be contented when gambling and take it as my past time, whenever I win or lose a certain amount I just think of it as an extra bonus while having fun, that way I won't have any regrets gambling.

I have different point of view tbh, I will not focus on how much I may lose as well as the potential win but I'll focus more on how to manage my money.
Too much focus on how much you may lose will not good as it will bring negative mindset mindset and can be something stressful for some people.
If you focus on how much you will lose, that means you will focus on how to manage your money that you are using to gamble, having gambling budget and not using more than what you can afford to lose. So this makes me not to completely agrees with you. It is good to focus on how you can lose for you not to fall victim of gambling loss.
You are free to agree or disagree, we have our opinion for anything and I'm expressing my opinion based on my own experiences a gambler for years.
I was at the time when I focus only how much to lose, what did I get? I cant gambling relax as I'm worrying too much of losing although I had my own limit.
Once I lost then the regret I got is bigger when I'm focusing too much on how much I may lose.
That's why I said managing bankroll is better as it will cover almost everything (financially and mentality), and it will give me more fun while gambling instead of fear of losing.

Regret when experiencing defeat will feel many times over until it is carried away by dreams (because I feel that too).
This will greatly affect someone's mentality, especially me who doesn't gamble too often, just play and bet for fun and there is no target to win big because the limit of funds is also very minimal. .

And I just want to ask you, As long as you gamble the winnings or losses you often get?
Probably have an average count of every gamble you have done during this time,
If it's just having fun, it's certain that there is nothing to count for losses and losses because it's like just paying for the game.

If we continue to chase our money, maybe in the end we will only be more wrecked and wasted, worst is being in debt, right? I just console myself that even if there are times when we lose the gamble, we will get lessons and strategies that we can use in the future. For me, it's better to focus on what can be done to win than to think about everything we've lost, because that will surely affect our thinking and actions while doing gambling.

Well it’s important for gamblers to approach betting with a well-thought-out plan, focusing on what they can afford to lose rather than being driven by greed.  Winning with $1k doesn't mean going all-in with $5k is a sure shot. Don't let the thrill overshadow the reality of potential losses.

Though most gamblers normally say that about if they new they gonna win a bet that they would have staked with an amount higher than the amount the placed the bet with but however, no matter any amount that's being won in a bet you should be contented because having this exaggeration of staking higher amount in a won bet might lead you to major losses next time because you might still have that feeling that you're going to win again and stake huge amount before you know it the bet losses and all your money is gone. So if you're lucky to win a bet, no matter the amount just be contented and don't hope to stake more higher amount next time

If they focus their plans on recovering from their losses, they may find it difficult to recover from their losses. They may lose more and possibly more than the money they have deposited. But if they have won a certain amount of money, they shouldn't be greedy in chasing other wins because that could trigger them to experience defeat. After winning, it does not guarantee that you will be able to win again, so you should immediately stop gambling and withdraw the winnings if you have reached the minimum withdrawal limit. If you can't achieve it, you can leave it in your gambling account to use it at another time.

I agree with your assumption, I think the fact is that it is true that however in gambling if you try too often with the aim of chasing something that has been lost or chasing the break-even point then the number of losses will be more, hmm yes maybe they think that by doing a lot of experiments then they will get a lot of wins or even with large amounts, but the fact is that it is very wrong if you apply such an approach to gambling which basically does not have any certainty for the results.
The randomness of how  gambling works really makes it difficult for gamblers to win, but you can't do anything about it and you can only accept the fact that the number of losses is increasing. Cashing out when the situation is really lucky is the thing that must be chosen, how can you sacrifice the obvious  victory you get with something bigger but still does not have any certainty? Awareness must really be emphasized so that you can choose the right thing especially when such situations rather than applying greed.

Contentment is such an issue for most people on which we do know that it would really be that always best that you should really be having more rather than on being less.In talks about having those limited base bet
then we do know that not all would really be able to afford on making out such bet and if ever they would really be having those kind of looking back into the past on how much that they have been able to
possibly win if they have been just make use of bigger amount then this is where people would really be loving on thinking up about the past. This is where that desperate would really be kicking out first on the time
that you would really be making yourself that too desperate on things just because you do have those kind of mindset on having no satisfaction on the current winnings that you are getting.

It is really that normal for gamblers to be that greedy and this is why its not shocking that they will really be having that kind of approach on things and might be busting up
themselves on the next situations that they would really be that into. There's no way that people would be that easily get contented and would be projecting out those
things that they could potentially win if they had made out such bet.

This is the mentality of an addicted gambler. He will always remain certain that winning in a few opportunities is able to compensate for many losses, and that he is luckier than most gamblers and the casino house itself.

The proposal you are putting forward can be understood by a rational person capable of understanding the gambling system and understanding and organizing its finances. These cannot be the characteristics of an addicted gambler whose mind cannot prevent him from continuing to destroy his finances in addition to the rest of the damage.

When you are chasing your lose, or you are just desperate to make money from gambling, then you won’t be able to plan yourself. All what you have will always be spent on gambling, you might be chasing lose, or you might be gambling just to hit a jackpot, so even if you are losing, you will always have confidence to win if you don’t give up. The only people that are able to work according to there plans are the once that gamble just for fun, they are always finding it to caution themselves when gambling, and most of them won’t gamble with the amount that’s going to affect them if they lose.

We'd rather not gamble if we think about how much we lose as I believe we are not desperate enough but rather think of a way to win.

Gambling responsibly is very important not just to avoid big losses but also, we are controlling ourselves from being greedy. Many gamblers think that if we gamble more, we are increasing our chance of winning. Well, that can be true but not all the time because this will also increase our chance of losing. That is why we should stick to our plan and the said limitations.

They definitely have a point. But its quite safe to point out, most of gamblers are not millionaires so they definitely need to do budget experience safe gambling lifestyle. It can be lot more enjoyable to gamble if you see your budget staying balanced even if you regularly lose.

Gamblers have different reasons why they'll regret whenever the game plays in their favor. First, the player is greedy and doesn't appreciate his lucky days then the instincts and time he utilized before wining the game. Second, he thinks gambling of a place where regret matters. Those who regret no matter how early, it's too late, and nothing could be done about it. Hence they should enjoy their money and try again next time. They also go ahead to make the mistake of staking high amount of money on their next game, which may not play in the player's favor, and he'll still complain over losing much money in gambling. They regret at any outcome; win or lose. I'd say that gamblers need to be prepared when gambling, not just gambling for money sake. The person can not be satisfied. I've seen numerous cases where a gambler gets sad even after winning money. Because he's bothered that he could have wagered a bigger amount.

in fact the more ambitious you are to win, the more difficult it will be for you to get that win.
If someone is running after chasing the wins, I guess they are likely to lose their bankroll so fast.

And that's a fact, and I've also experienced this, that at that time, at the start of the game I got a pretty big win. And stupid as I was, I didn't end the game and withdraw the winnings. At that time I acted silly by deciding to continue the game, because I thought that luck was on my side and I thought that this was a good start for a better final result. I am ambitious to get a bigger win than before, so I decided to increase the bet amount and increase the nominal amount. And what happened next? The money from the previous winnings ran out, I went back into gambling and because I was still curious and still thought that luck was still there, I turned the money in my wallet around again to make a deposit. And in the end, the money from the winnings was lost, and the contents of the wallet were also drained.

A full understanding of this topic will help people to stop chasing profits unnecessarily. The eagerness to make profit at all cost makes people to keep pumping money into gambling even when it is obvious that the profit they are chasing isn't forth coming. And if they eventually make one win, they stake more money to win more and the cycle continues. Sometimes people might tag it as greed (which is correct in most cases). It usually starts when the gamblers involved begin to see gambling as a ticket to wealth. If they do not call themselves to order, they will gamble away all they have gathered so far. Gambling is sweet if played well but if you do not play your cards well, you will regret knowing about gambling in the first place.

On the one hand, we are talking about loss control. On the other hand, if a person thinks about losing, it will be more difficult for him to win, because winning in gambling is associated with great risk. So we are faced with a dilemma - to fear losing or to take risks. Sometimes winning comes when everything is at stake

We understand that gambling is all about taking risks but what we are against are extreme gambling measures taken by a gambler which are not healthy at all. Yea, we all have to take risks, it is even riskier if a gambler gambles with amounts he can never afford to lose. He will weep over that money for days. Where then is the fun in gambling? There are still persons though who can gamble with lots of money and still not feel the impact if they eventually lose. Everyone knows their capabilities,  therefore they should take risks according to their individual abilities. Anything more than this becomes a problem. A gambler who cannot afford to lose his money after every gambling session should work on having other sources of income.

Why would you think any gambler would pile up his lost tickets, just to accumulate the value of what he's spent over what he's won, at a period of time..? This can't even cross up on their minds since they've got so many motivational quotes - which they themselves would use to enslave anyone that chose to listen to them...

I read a review on one of the newest casinos and I was shocked to know what they're being told... I don't even know what words to use but,..that was the worst CAP I've ever seen online.. the way they laid too much emphasis on immediate wins after deposit was terrific... Nobody said anything about KYCs, terms of operation etc....

We'd rather not gamble if we think about how much we lose as I believe we are not desperate enough but rather think of a way to win.

Gambling responsibly is very important not just to avoid big losses but also, we are controlling ourselves from being greedy. Many gamblers think that if we gamble more, we are increasing our chance of winning. Well, that can be true but not all the time because this will also increase our chance of losing. That is why we should stick to our plan and the said limitations.


well, how many gamblers do you think are successful on this? so yeah, that says a lot already when it comes to gambling. thus, if you are not ready to face the worst case scenarios here, better moderate your gambling activities or just totally eradicate this on your mind. this is all on you when it comes to your decision for something entertainment and fun

I would argue that some people will think this will be counterproductive idea because focusing on loses will make you pause a lot - so it may kill your gambling mood and chance. They definitely have a point. But its quite safe to point out, most of gamblers are not millionaires so they definitely need to do budget experience safe gambling lifestyle. It can be lot more enjoyable to gamble if you see your budget staying balanced even if you regularly lose.

absolutely! you will enjoy playing knowing that you are not in debt from someone else and you are just using your own money not compromising anything of your household expenses.
on the note of focusing on losses, so what's the purpose of playing and enjoying your games if you are depressed of your losing side? you will just make yourself sick thinking about your losses.

There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".
That’s the problem, when you are gambling and you only place bet on a game with just small amount of money, most gamblers do get annoyed and do wish they gambled with bigger amounts of money, but the funniest part is that, when you decided to increase the amount you are gambling with, then you might not even win again. I think things like this happen to most gamblers. When gambling you have to be satisfied with any amount of money you win, if you are in hurry to make money, then what you will be losing will be more than what you will be winning, so don’t be in a rush.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.
Let’s me honest, most gamblers don’t gamble with the amount they can afford to lose, just few gamblers won’t be affected if they lose in gambling, most people just want money from gambling, and they do everything just to win a huge amount of money in gambling, they believe if they gamble with little amount of money, then there win will be kind of small, so they prefer gambling with big amounts of money.

Exactly. I don't know why many people or gamblers think that gambling can be a form of source of income, which is really not true. Yes, you can win in gambling; you can hit a jackpot if you are lucky enough, but it shows that in gambling you will lose more than what you can earn from the winnings.

Gambling will never and ever be a subject for earning money. You might be lucky and your life could turn on the other side, but we all don't have that kind of luck, and not all have the luxury to gamble frequently. So instead of focusing on how you will win, it's better to notice how much you can lose. In short, don't gamble if you know your standing in life; if you know that you can't just afford to lose money, gambling is a serious thing. It can be for fun and entertainment, but no one will be happy if he or she is not ready for losses.

It's a delicate balance between the two really. The characteristics of a responsible gambler depends upon how he takes care that he reduces his losses while maximizing the wins that he claims. And sometimes breaking even is still considered a win especially in situations where you're in a massive lose streak.

I myself have this system where I only ever play under three wins/three losses rules, where I immediately stop playing as soon as I hit three losses or three wins. That way I can minimize whatever potential loss that I have if it's a bad day and I really can't catch a win, or I can secure my wins if it's a pretty lucky day and I get wins. In most cases I only ever break even which is still good as it means I have my bankroll saved for the next gambling session without me having to top it up again, saving my pocket from extra spends that is budgeted anyway, but I digress.

Your tip OP is very helpful especially for gamblers who are starting off in the ways of responsible gambling but aren't really sure on how to take the path. Most of us here struggle with figuring out what is wrong and what is right to do as a starting responsible gambler especially if we came from irresponsible gambling ways but posts like these are surely helpful.

That’s the reality when gambling. We often chase bigger profits when we experience winning but we don’t really think that if gambling is capable to make us win, then it’s also capable to make us lose even bigger than the amount we have won. Although I believe majority of the gamblers do not just gamble for fun but mostly to earn a living, but let’s also be realistic that gambling can also make us lose instantly and used up all our funds before we can hit a big win.

I believe gamblers will only realized this if they have made unbearable losses. I just hope that it won’t be too late for gamblers to think on that.

It's better to focus on how to win and be positive for it helps to see better choices while you are already in a situation.

But if you have not started gambling yet, it's best to just not gamble and just wait til you have some extra to wager. I know it's very tempting to just wage a big amount to win a big amount but when you know you have no such amount. Just be with the small amount and maybe try the parlay to win big.
Yes, of course sir, don't be too pushy, especially app or digital gambling. including gambling that is full of mystery sir, technically it can win in small amounts continuously as a small prize and when spending large capital it loses, the more you lose the more curious you are to add and drain more money and savings even though gradually. If gambling offline or with friends in the real world (reached by mutual predictions) not with the developer who owns the game app, of course it is more likely because the chances are the same that one of them can win, even though the friend can have the potential to win continuously :D
====================================
For expert class games only games and some users may have security betting on online sites and offline places, yes all there is freedom to bet anywhere, that financial management is very important to keep expectations not too wild.

As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.

Lol, why gamble if you will always think what are we about to lose? Stop gambling as that thinking was a distraction.

Instead, why not just be responsible whether we are winning or losing? Let's say you hit that juicy win, learned how to stop, and take a break. Enjoy and cash out some winnings. On the other hand, if now on a losing streak, also learned how to stop and take a break as well.

If you are playing on luck-based games, have that disciplined rather than to think what we are about to lose.

Mate maybe you don't get it, putting it in mind that you can also lose your game is simply another form of aiding a gambler in  being a responsible gambler, if the mindset is predicated on win win win alone then it's very possible that just a few series a streak of losses can affect such gambler emotionally which can make him to start chasing the losses based on his win dominated mindset alone, and this could lead to irresponsible gambling in the course of loss chasing.

It is  admirable to go with a win mindset due to how it can influence our luck for the day based on our believe but having it in mind that losses is also a path of the game makes it simple to deal with the both outcome any that be.

I agree that whether we win or lose, we need to know when to stop and when to continue, if you think you've had enough and/or it will have a bad impact if you continue.

If it is to limit losses then before gambling we only need to make a budget for gambling, and that is your limit for gambling, so don't think anymore "how much money can you lose in gambling because you have previously made a budget".

you are right, and gambling on lucky-based gambling, winning is a bonus, and on average you will find more losses than winnings there, don't occasionally think about losses so that your thoughts pressure you to chase losses which will basically put you into the abyss of addiction. and lose more.

Hahaha, of course there will be very few because most of what gamblers think about is how big win or profit they can get, some of them will think and focus on fun or entertainment.
Thinking about losing will only make gamblers carry out various stupid actions which can very possibly bring problems and difficulties, imagine if think about how much will lose.
Wouldn't that just make regret it and try to recover because no gambler can accept it when they find out that their losses are very big, this happens not only to small gamblers but also to rich gamblers.

One of the right actions is to limit all gambling activities by having control, management and regulation of the money and time used for gambling, gamblers will feel the benefits of having such an attitude.
I know that stopping gambling completely is not an easy thing to do, but reducing the intensity of gambling is still very possible and we must try to do it.
We gamble using money that we have earned through hard work or business, so we must be able to maintain financial stability and really avoid efforts that are very detrimental in the long term.

Let's imagine for a moment that you can bet say $0.20 bets for 1 hour and then suddenly increase the bet size to say $5 to win a much bigger jackpot, would it not bankrupt the casino, if that worked every time. ???

The system unfortunately does not work that way, each bet is unique and it has nothing to do with the previous bets or your future bets. Sport betting is a bit different, because your odds and your bet size determine the amount you win.

You do not know what the outcome will be, so you take a risk on the odds to place your bet. If your odds are 30:1 ...would you have taken the risk to bet a higher amount?

It create illusion in our brain when we win many game's at a serial time. That illusion creat that we going to win the next bet. Thes the reason may losses. Especially the losses is big amount. For that reason play it on cold mind don't fall into illusion because illusion gives you over confident and because of that confident you play big amount of that reason your losses is big. That's the reason play safely. Don't fall into illusion play safely and make dayly profit and loss limit.

I agree with your assumption, I think the fact is that it is true that however in gambling if you try too often with the aim of chasing something that has been lost or chasing the break-even point then the number of losses will be more, hmm yes maybe they think that by doing a lot of experiments then they will get a lot of wins or even with large amounts, but the fact is that it is very wrong if you apply such an approach to gambling which basically does not have any certainty for the results.
The randomness of how  gambling works really makes it difficult for gamblers to win, but you can't do anything about it and you can only accept the fact that the number of losses is increasing. Cashing out when the situation is really lucky is the thing that must be chosen, how can you sacrifice the obvious  victory you get with something bigger but still does not have any certainty? Awareness must really be emphasized so that you can choose the right thing especially when such situations rather than applying greed.
That's what will happen to people who create various methods to win. They will always test their methods to find a suitable method to win the gambling game. But even after they see it, the method can only be used once, and after that, the method can no longer be used to win. And they also have to look for other methods to give them another victory. It will be an experiment that they continuously do to try to win, so if they don't realize it, they will only experience more losses.
Meanwhile, they can also run out of money before they can get that win, even though they still have many other methods that they have to test. When gamblers can win, perhaps the gambling game machine will make algorithm changes that the gamblers don't know about, making the gamblers continue to test the method. But if gamblers could know and calculate how much money they have used for gambling, those who were wise would immediately stop gambling and would not continue because they had almost reached their limit. But not for those who don't want to know how much money they have used because they still want to try to get another win.

Simple mindset when gambling keep away from loss although we can't hidden our self from losses, but its not really good more confidence when gambling have mindset will win and make us on pressure position until loss much money but still not get winning yet. I agree with you not get bad mindset with gambling always loss, some time have lucky moment and based on ten or twenty try success huge amount in one time will close or recovery with how much loss.
Talking about discipline in gambling not easy because many gambler become greedy when winning position, can't get limit for how much use to bet and how much need to withdraw before losses all winning fund.

in fact the more ambitious you are to win, the more difficult it will be for you to get that win.
If someone is running after chasing the wins, I guess they are likely to lose their bankroll so fast.

And that's a fact, and I've also experienced this, that at that time, at the start of the game I got a pretty big win. And stupid as I was, I didn't end the game and withdraw the winnings. At that time I acted silly by deciding to continue the game, because I thought that luck was on my side and I thought that this was a good start for a better final result. I am ambitious to get a bigger win than before, so I decided to increase the bet amount and increase the nominal amount. And what happened next? The money from the previous winnings ran out, I went back into gambling and because I was still curious and still thought that luck was still there, I turned the money in my wallet around again to make a deposit. And in the end, the money from the winnings was lost, and the contents of the wallet were also drained.

     -   I think you are not the only one who has experienced something like that; I have also experienced it, but maybe the difference between us is that I was able to stop immediately. I know the feeling that we haven't been playing for 5 minutes, and after just a few rounds of betting on the slot games, I immediately hit the jackpot combo, which brought the total winnings to 142 dollars, because I was still like a snake in my gambling fun. I continued.

Then, when I noticed that what I won was decreasing, I said that if I win again, I will stop, and when I saw that my balance was only 96 out of 142, I suddenly won an additional 65. So the total winnings that I took out were also about 150 dollars that I brought home. So it is also important that we really have discipline within ourselves.

I believe that most gamblers have faced a similar situation. Especially if you enjoy gambling, you might always have experienced winning at the beginning of the game. Still, as you continue playing, you notice that your balance is decreasing rather than increasing.

In this type of situation, it is crucial to withdraw your initial deposit immediately, and only continue playing using the money you have won. This approach will help you avoid losing all your money, especially if you lose control of your emotions, which could lead to losing everything.

I don't focus on either. If you win it means a celebration. If you lose, I have to take a break from gambling so that my emotions cannot be controlled to gamble. I think this is enough. I won't look at my winnings and losses, sometimes it makes me want to keep playing or even adds to my despair if I lose more. just enjoy this game as much as possible to get pleasure, not to get rich.

This is not Worth arguable at all for the OP has made a clear point. Of course to an extend every gamblers who made winning most at times at their first winnings usually have the thought that they would had toppled their stake to gain more profits as if they knew the game was going to play uninterruptedly as predicted.
I take such act for greed and no two ways about it and Such gamblers are never contented to their achievements. Not just in their gambling life but to a general ramifications of their life.

It is expected and supposed to appreciate the fact you made winning with whatever the stake and your winning was instead of living a regret in an unrealistic optimism of no assurance and no tendencies of possibilities of your exaggerations instigating on what may crumble your financial downfalls.

For these reasons that we, as good players and above all, possess intelligence, are that so that something like this does not happen to us, we must always have the money we are willing to lose before playing, money that is not affected by the fact that if we do, We waste everything, because we are not left without money, no, the money we have there is willing to lose and it will not do anything if it goes, now, if the money willing to lose is lost, what we must assume and that that has already happened and that at least we played and had fun, and that on another occasion or in another game session we will be able to make bets without taking into account the previous experience, only what we could have extracted as a learning in the game, and Possibly realizing that it was what we did wrong so as not to do it again and thus our game increases in level, that is the secret, but the most important thing of all is that if we manage to have that touch of luck that we all look for in a casino What you should do is not stop and withdraw.

I know that sometimes there is a little voice in our brain that nods says, even it leaves us without profits, it makes us waste too much and we lose everything, so for me the premise is, first of all, to have the money we have to lose, and if It is a loss not to put in or deposit more, not even because we feel the luckiest in the world, that is a rule that should not be broken, and then if we have a good profit, what we should do is take that profit and withdraw, it is preferable to do so like this and spend that money, enjoy that money, feel that money, let it be seen that our decision was the right one, that we cannot experience another experience, but as I said before, until there is another game session, if not, we will be able to do it alone In those very basic rules, I believe that no one would lose more than they should allow themselves to lose, but the key is to have discipline, if there is no discipline, our own rules will hardly be followed.

I think it's very hard to focus on how much you're going to lose gambling. Everyone likes to imagine how they're going to win. If it were the other way around, no one would gamble. Discipline is the most important thing in gambling. If a gambler is disciplined, he will not be hindered by the fact that he dreams only to win.

Gamblers typically overlook potential risks and the likelihood of large loses in favor of enormous profits. Positive thinking and the intrigue of 'what if' fuel this psychological trap. But focusing on winning is like wearing blinders - it obscures the whole view. You stated gambling control and regulation. Time and money management is smart and self-respecting. It's about respecting time and money. You're right - reducing gambling helps financial stability

The idea that all gamblers seek profit is simplistic. The chance to win big is appealing, but some prefer the thrill, excitement, and entertainment. Considering only possible losses might lead to impulsive judgments, but a balanced view is essential. Risk awareness doesn't mean obsessing; it means being prepared and attentive. This knowledge can protect and ground you. Of course, quitting gambling is hard, but moderation is possible

We'd rather not gamble if we think about how much we lose as I believe we are not desperate enough but rather think of a way to win.

Gambling responsibly is very important not just to avoid big losses but also, we are controlling ourselves from being greedy. Many gamblers think that if we gamble more, we are increasing our chance of winning. Well, that can be true but not all the time because this will also increase our chance of losing. That is why we should stick to our plan and the said limitations.

Every gamblers definitely thinks more about winnings and not thinking about losing and that is true, but in fact gambling is part of losing because getting a profit is not an easy thing to achieve.

Of course, responsible gambling is very important for someone to make the most profits possible with the skills they have, but did you know that gambling is full of risks? Some people think that increasing the bet can increase profits, but if they lose, they will experience a bigger loss because they increased the bet, so it is quite clear that the OP advise gamblers to think about these risks not because they are afraid of losing, but because they are afraid of experiencing a big loss.

I don't focus on either. If you win it means a celebration. If you lose, I have to take a break from gambling so that my emotions cannot be controlled to gamble. I think this is enough. I won't look at my winnings and losses, sometimes it makes me want to keep playing or even adds to my despair if I lose more. just enjoy this game as much as possible to get pleasure, not to get rich.
Honestly majority of gamblers always have that mindset of if they had stake with huge amount of money though I don't belong to that category and I shared similar mindset about the issue I am not bother on my wins or losses because I gamble with small fund in soccer betting I accumulated my odds to atmost 3.00 to 4.00 stake with small fund the amount of money I can afford to lose thus irrespective of the outcome of the bet I am not bothered though I aimed to win always however losses are inevitable thus I gamble for fun being a soccer enthusiast and I gambling not to become rich like the gamblers aiming to win jackpot, I gamble to earn extra income though not consistent.

As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.

Lol, why gamble if you will always think what are we about to lose? Stop gambling as that thinking was a distraction.

Instead, why not just be responsible whether we are winning or losing? Let's say you hit that juicy win, learned how to stop, and take a break. Enjoy and cash out some winnings. On the other hand, if now on a losing streak, also learned how to stop and take a break as well.

If you are playing on luck-based games, have that disciplined rather than to think what we are about to lose.
Mate maybe you don't get it, putting it in mind that you can also lose your game is simply another form of aiding a gambler in  being a responsible gambler, if the mindset is predicated on win win win alone then it's very possible that just a few series a streak of losses can affect such gambler emotionally which can make him to start chasing the losses based on his win dominated mindset alone, and this could lead to irresponsible gambling in the course of loss chasing.

As we set our mind on winning we should also forget that the losing in gambling is easier to frequently occur than the winnings we are heavily focused on. It is  admirable to go with a win mindset due to how it can influence our luck for the day based on our believe but having it in mind that losses is also a path of the game makes it simple to deal with the both outcome any that be.

Mate, here's the catch. It's supposed to be already on our minds that we might lose a particular game. There's no need to keep that in mind.

Instead, why not just focus on how to survive the game and return home with a good catch as much as possible?

Do you mean, that before we start gambling, we should also think how much we might lose? On point though but it's like adding more distraction to our focus on gambling. Instead, think of a better strategy to increase the winning chance in that particular session.

Let's not make our gambling session too complicated to the point that we should worry on all things.

This is not Worth arguable at all for the OP has made a clear point. Of course to an extend every gamblers who made winning most at times at their first winnings usually have the thought that they would had toppled their stake to gain more profits as if they knew the game was going to play uninterruptedly as predicted.
I take such act for greed and no two ways about it and Such gamblers are never contented to their achievements. Not just in their gambling life but to a general ramifications of their life.

It is expected and supposed to appreciate the fact you made winning with whatever the stake and your winning was instead of living a regret in an unrealistic optimism of no assurance and no tendencies of possibilities of your exaggerations instigating on what may crumble your financial downfalls.


The gambler who made the big winning will try to keep the 10-20 percentage of the winning amount.But with my point it’s not the right one,because the gamblers can withdraw the entire funds and make some enjoyment using the money.So he feel the joy of the winning in the gambling site,this help the gambler to keep the tactics in his mind.If the gamblers face the losses after the winning,will make to forgot the tactics.And the probability is more for the loss after the winning was the common knowledge towards the game.So instead of losing the balance 10-20% of the winning money, the gamblers can enjoy and arrange funds and back to gambling after some weeks.

I think it's very hard to focus on how much you're going to lose gambling. Everyone likes to imagine how they're going to win. If it were the other way around, no one would gamble. Discipline is the most important thing in gambling. If a gambler is disciplined, he will not be hindered by the fact that he dreams only to win.
You hit the nail on the head 💯💯. Why would anyone even have the mentality of thinking of how they will lose, I mean I get the point the OP is trying to say but I am pretty sure no ever reasons to that part and I know for sure that once the gambler is responsible in his part of gambling then everything is actually fine. Most person's let their urge to win cloud their judgement during their time of gambling and that's why they always ending being at the wrong side of the gambling table that's if you know what am relating at😊😊, just be responsible with your winning mentality and you will be good to go.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!
Greed is the only reason someone will wish he had add more to his stake and that's the beginning of possibly getting addicted because at that point you already feel it's that easy to win so you will most likely want to further stake more out of the excitement that you were so good with your predictions and can do it again with even bigger amount.

The truth is your win is relative to your risk , the bigger you risk the more you may win and the smaller you risk the smaller you may as well win and same applies to loosing so it will be very much appreciated if you could focus more on the amount you could possibly loose if the games were going against your predictions that way you will be able to still stay long enough in the gambling even if you happen to be loosing at some point but when you consider high stakes because you want to win big by staking big you end up loosing even more when ever you suffer a loss.

The task of the casino is to enthuse the player to such an extent that he does not think about losses. It is best to stipulate in advance the amount of allowable losses - in the case of online casinos, and do not take with you the documents necessary for the processing of credit - in the case of online casinos. Restraining oneself in trying to win back is quite a difficult task

That makes sense, in my opinion successful casinos make many people not think about their losses which makes them continue to gamble so they don't look at the losses they have already had. and it is also a fact that many people have been deceived by gambling, making them addicted to gambling, so they can spend a lot of money in just one gambling session. This is also because of their wrong mindset towards gambling which also encourages them to continue gambling without seeing losses. obtained.

If they already have wrong thoughts about gambling then it is likely that they will not be able to stop themselves from gambling, especially those who are addicted to gambling, in my opinion they will always prioritize the gambling that they have to do. The more they gamble, the more it makes them experience financial difficulties, and indirectly it makes the casino rich, because in one casino of course more than 100 people gamble, and the number of people who lose will be greater than the number who win. victory.

For these reasons that we, as good players and above all, possess intelligence, are that so that something like this does not happen to us, we must always have the money we are willing to lose before playing, money that is not affected by the fact that if we do, We waste everything, because we are not left without money, no, the money we have there is willing to lose and it will not do anything if it goes, now, if the money willing to lose is lost, what we must assume and that that has already happened and that at least we played and had fun, and that on another occasion or in another game session we will be able to make bets without taking into account the previous experience, only what we could have extracted as a learning in the game, and Possibly realizing that it was what we did wrong so as not to do it again and thus our game increases in level, that is the secret, but the most important thing of all is that if we manage to have that touch of luck that we all look for in a casino What you should do is not stop and withdraw.

I know that sometimes there is a little voice in our brain that nods says, even it leaves us without profits, it makes us waste too much and we lose everything, so for me the premise is, first of all, to have the money we have to lose, and if It is a loss not to put in or deposit more, not even because we feel the luckiest in the world, that is a rule that should not be broken, and then if we have a good profit, what we should do is take that profit and withdraw, it is preferable to do so like this and spend that money, enjoy that money, feel that money, let it be seen that our decision was the right one, that we cannot experience another experience, but as I said before, until there is another game session, if not, we will be able to do it alone In those very basic rules, I believe that no one would lose more than they should allow themselves to lose, but the key is to have discipline, if there is no discipline, our own rules will hardly be followed.

I agree - betting only what we can afford is best. Its like getting the most exotic meal at a posh restaurant for the experience, not the food. Isnt that voice in our heads telling us to keep going despite losses like that friend who always offers one more Netflix episode? Though sincere, they'll regret it in the morning! Setting limits before the game's excitement affects my judgment is the greatest approach to stop that voice.

When luck appears, its like a siren's call to keep going. However, I get crafty here. I treat my winnings like a work surprise. Would you immediately invest your bonus in your company? Probably not! Probably pamper yourself, preserve it, or use it wisely. The same rule applies

A lot of people don't care and place bets without any risk management and then lose their money which they can't afford to lose.
Focusing on risk management would help us in placing bets within our budget and that will also make us gamble for a longer time.
It's something that gamblers have to do right from when they start gambling and cultivate it as a habit.

I don't use big amount as wagers when I'm gambling, I use to do that but I had a bad experience that taught me a lesson and almost made me to stop gambling as I would have lost a big amount of money if not for my quick thinking of not waiting for the game to end before I cashout and went home with a some profits. When we're gambling we shouldn't only care about how much we can make but also the amount of risk that we're taking and what it'll make us to lose if we fail.

When gambling we have to be very disciplined and have a budget so it guide us and not make us to over gamble or use to much wager that can cause us to lose big amount of money to make us want to win it back by revenge gambling. When we're only interested in the amount we are to win, we can use big wagers that'll be too big for us to lose and make us to forget about our disciplinary to revenge gamble.

It's indeed a good thing to consider the other side of the coin. It is indeed a possibility to win, but it is also equally a possibility to lose. The problem with many gamblers is that we are sometimes too assuming, too excited for the possibility of winning that we sometimes forget not to equate it with certainty.

Even myself I sometimes plan or compute how my betting would be after I win this or that amount, but it is not actually the reality. The reality is that I have yet to win all of those money. And winning is not even assured.
The coin has two sides, so we can't just focus on one side and disregard the other. But anyway, I just found out that the coin toss is not equally 50/50. And how much more the gambling games that are held inside the casinos? I'm sure the losing chance on them is higher than the winning chance.

Assuming to win is actually better than assuming that we will lose. But, then there is this scenario that the more we expect the less it will happen. Computing or planning is possible even before we play gambling. For me, my plan is to continue betting till I use up the excess amount from my total winnings. After that, I withdraw and stop playing gambling for a while.

You are right on this observation because it is in protecting the capital that every other issues associated with gambling are solved. When the capital is well managed, the various painful experiences that comes with gambling will be minimised.

It will be outright misery for a gambler to lose his entire funded capital per gambling session. Rather than this was, the funds can be well managed in such a way that before he loses everything, he would have made some winnings. The longer one stay in gambling,  the higher the valves of winning gets.

Exactly, because after all the defeat of the gamblers is a profit for the casino and that's what the casino wants so there is an element of addiction in gambling because of the many things that look tempting when we are running a session, it is not uncommon for some gamblers to forget all their prevention plans just because they are easily tempted by something they see. That's why as you said that every gambler should have risk management by determining the amount they are allowed to lose or simply being able to be responsible for the money allocated, not only that because you also mentioned that holding back when temptation comes is a difficult thing to do and that's why firmness really needs to be applied properly. I understand that this will not make us avoid the risk of losing but what is certain is that with this action then obviously the number of your losses will be slightly minimized and I think it is less likely for us to experience financial problems as a result of gambling activities.

First of all you need to understand that gambling is not a sure way to earn money and you cannot win from here for sure. A man gambles with his own money so you have no power to stop him even if you want to. Learn to control yourself before gambling because if you lose 10 times and win 1 time, you may lose more money when you bet again to cover your losses. You should take some time off after winning and try from next day. Again when you win 2-3 times in a row stop your greedy attitude and don't bet again at that moment. Gambling is your cold minded tricks and there is no technology used here so you have to believe in your own consciousness.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".
Though most gamblers normally say that about if they new they gonna win a bet that they would have staked with an amount higher than the amount the placed the bet with but however, no matter any amount that's being won in a bet you should be contented because having this exaggeration of staking higher amount in a won bet might lead you to major losses next time because you might still have that feeling that you're going to win again and stake huge amount before you know it the bet losses and all your money is gone. So if you're lucky to win a bet, no matter the amount just be contented and don't hope to stake more higher amount next time
Yeah, true; plenty of people who end up with great wins and that usually ends up being something very important to realize for the long term as well. I think it's quite clear that we have a lot of people who are mesmerized by their early on wins that it turns out that is something even casinos like to use.

I know a single website, not in the crypto world and a local one, who ended up coding something like "make the newcomers win up until 3x of their deposit" type of deal, where the luck was on the gamblers side, of course they lost at times too, but overall they usually ended up winning, the code was designed to give them more wins, of course you could still bet all-in and happen to lose, but likely that newcomers would win, and then they took all their money.

They may not seem to care about the losses that come to them because they are closed off by the desire to win from gambling. Perhaps that's why they only focus on recovering from their increasing losses, so they are still gambling. Even if they can win, the number of wins will be smaller than the number of losses. So it's better if we don't think about the amount we lose so that we won't be triggered to gamble longer to recover from our losses.

That's right bro, when we are in a good position, we want to enjoy everything, in the case that we have money willing to lose, and if we lose, we assume the loss, but in the case that we do not control ourselves like this we can lose almost everything, there are people who lose so much that they end up killing themselves, and that is what should not be allowed, I personally always think that we have the ability to do things better, enjoyment is based on everything we can do Being happy, yes, I know that the casino and the game there give happiness, but more happiness gives other things too, like going out, going for a walk, going to the cinema, watching a series, all this is what we can do and if we spend it all the money in pure casino and if we lose, well, what are we going to enjoy? As long as we do things in order, knowing how to have fun because we could have better results, we can tell anyone that we play in the casino, that we enjoy it, that we will lose, and that when we win we withdraw the money, but that's still what we know. What you should do and thinking about it carefully is what is correct, that is why every time we are in a casino we must think about all these things.

Sometimes the voice of the brain tells us what we should do and what we can afford to do, so I say something, if we already know the dangers and benefits of a casino we have to be very careful and not do something that is going to harm us. harm, because that is the worst, we have to be very emphatic and always generate what we can, in our life we can be reduced only to a casino, there are things that go beyond this and that sometimes we get lost only in the casino, there are things for which we must enjoy and do everything possible to do things well, so we have a family, children, wife, because care must be extreme, money is something that we cannot afford to lose too much, because the obligations They are what we must always comply with.

While this is a very common occurrence, at the same time regardless of how obsessed a person may be with gambling, eventually they realize they cannot win, however instead of this realization making them to stop, they keep gambling anyway.

And this happens because despite knowing the truth they cannot stop themselves from gambling anymore, I know that this sounds very odd for us, but this is the scenario that is brought over and over again on the books I have read about the topic.

It's already difficult if someone is obsessed with gambling because he will only think about gambling and want to go back to gambling. He would not think about how he could avoid gambling and look for other things that could distract him. But if he keeps thinking about his past losses and there is a desire to return to gambling again, it is only a matter of time before he loses even more money.

Yes, they cannot stop gambling easily because there is an obsession that keeps coming to them and telling them to continue gambling. They will find it difficult to prevent themselves from returning to gambling unless they have a very strong desire to avoid gambling.

Always remember the risk not just the profit or gains, we should always remember that if there is a chance to gain it also comes with risk.
Consider both sides, and control how much you would risk.
Learn to plan how much are you willing to risk and at what point you would stop, it doesn't really matter how much you've already won if you aren't going to take it.
It isn't consider a profit unless you decides to stop and get out already.

Common sense and self awareness would really be the key bad sadly people do really failed up into this one on why they do really always end up on the bad or wrong choice.
It is really just that normal that people would really be considering on playing more because they do hope up for the win that they could get without even trying out to realize
on what are the potential dangers or risks on losing money in the otherhand which we know that gambling could really be only having that two possible outcome
which it is neither be losing or winning on which it would really be that depending into someones luck because this would be always the main factor determining whether you would

I like your post, you're encouraging us to have a balanced mindset in gambling. Its bad for our decisions to be one sided, like thinking only about what can go good and ignoring the possibilities of it not turning out in our favor. Its always nice to have a balanced mentality when gambling to involve a moderate approach to gambling which safeguards us from grave damage if the involvement doesn't go in our favor.

Gambling is an attribute of pure luck, there's no guarantee to a set of stakes.  Stakes are always under probability and you have the same possibility of losing, just like you've to win. Most times, people neglect this possibilities and somehow believe they have the right to achieve a win, thereby staking amounts they're not ready to let go, when the tables turn, they regret their actions or get desperate to recover, and before they know it, they're very comfortable in the arms of addiction.

`

For these reasons that we, as good players and above all, possess intelligence, are that so that something like this does not happen to us, we must always have the money we are willing to lose before playing, money that is not affected by the fact that if we do, We waste everything, because we are not left without money, no, the money we have there is willing to lose and it will not do anything if it goes, now, if the money willing to lose is lost, what we must assume and that that has already happened and that at least we played and had fun, and that on another occasion or in another game session we will be able to make bets without taking into account the previous experience, only what we could have extracted as a learning in the game, and Possibly realizing that it was what we did wrong so as not to do it again and thus our game increases in level, that is the secret, but the most important thing of all is that if we manage to have that touch of luck that we all look for in a casino What you should do is not stop and withdraw.

I know that sometimes there is a little voice in our brain that nods says, even it leaves us without profits, it makes us waste too much and we lose everything, so for me the premise is, first of all, to have the money we have to lose, and if It is a loss not to put in or deposit more, not even because we feel the luckiest in the world, that is a rule that should not be broken, and then if we have a good profit, what we should do is take that profit and withdraw, it is preferable to do so like this and spend that money, enjoy that money, feel that money, let it be seen that our decision was the right one, that we cannot experience another experience, but as I said before, until there is another game session, if not, we will be able to do it alone In those very basic rules, I believe that no one would lose more than they should allow themselves to lose, but the key is to have discipline, if there is no discipline, our own rules will hardly be followed.

I agree - betting only what we can afford is best. Its like getting the most exotic meal at a posh restaurant for the experience, not the food. Isnt that voice in our heads telling us to keep going despite losses like that friend who always offers one more Netflix episode? Though sincere, they'll regret it in the morning! Setting limits before the game's excitement affects my judgment is the greatest approach to stop that voice.

When luck appears, its like a siren's call to keep going. However, I get crafty here. I treat my winnings like a work surprise. Would you immediately invest your bonus in your company? Probably not! Probably pamper yourself, preserve it, or use it wisely. The same rule applies

That's right bro, when we are in a good position, we want to enjoy everything, in the case that we have money willing to lose, and if we lose, we assume the loss, but in the case that we do not control ourselves like this we can lose almost everything, there are people who lose so much that they end up killing themselves, and that is what should not be allowed, I personally always think that we have the ability to do things better, enjoyment is based on everything we can do Being happy, yes, I know that the casino and the game there give happiness, but more happiness gives other things too, like going out, going for a walk, going to the cinema, watching a series, all this is what we can do and if we spend it all the money in pure casino and if we lose, well, what are we going to enjoy? As long as we do things in order, knowing how to have fun because we could have better results, we can tell anyone that we play in the casino, that we enjoy it, that we will lose, and that when we win we withdraw the money, but that's still what we know. What you should do and thinking about it carefully is what is correct, that is why every time we are in a casino we must think about all these things.

Sometimes the voice of the brain tells us what we should do and what we can afford to do, so I say something, if we already know the dangers and benefits of a casino we have to be very careful and not do something that is going to harm us. harm, because that is the worst, we have to be very emphatic and always generate what we can, in our life we can be reduced only to a casino, there are things that go beyond this and that sometimes we get lost only in the casino, there are things for which we must enjoy and do everything possible to do things well, so we have a family, children, wife, because care must be extreme, money is something that we cannot afford to lose too much, because the obligations They are what we must always comply with.

There's no bad on doing gambling as long you do make yourself that responsible and as it should be on which people do really be making things messed up just because they do let or make themselves do those decisions which arent supposed to be done because people do usually mess up on the time that they would really be molding up those kind of things in mind that they should really be playing more so that they would really be having that more chances for them to win on which it is really that a very wrong move to be done by someone specially if they are really that  dealing with gambling. When it comes on potential winning then it would be always detrimental or would really be basing up on how lucky you are when it comes to gambling on which we know that not all would really lucky on the same time.

Dont let yourself that ever thinking up actively about being a winner because gambling doesnt work on that way. If you do keep on assuming or presuming to be winning up easy money
with it then you would really be finding yourself that desperate on which this one would really be pushing you to play even more and this is where addiction do really
starts on which on the time that its been molded up on the time that you do have these kind of intents.

First of all you need to understand that gambling is not a sure way to earn money and you cannot win from here for sure. A man gambles with his own money so you have no power to stop him even if you want to. Learn to control yourself before gambling because if you lose 10 times and win 1 time, you may lose more money when you bet again to cover your losses. You should take some time off after winning and try from next day. Again when you win 2-3 times in a row stop your greedy attitude and don't bet again at that moment. Gambling is your cold minded tricks and there is no technology used here so you have to believe in your own consciousness.
What you say is true because gambling is not a place to make money, and many people already know that. But unfortunately, they still use gambling to make money, so they will continue to try hard to make money. They may not seem to care about the losses that come to them because they are closed off by the desire to win from gambling. Perhaps that's why they only focus on recovering from their increasing losses, so they are still gambling. Even if they can win, the number of wins will be smaller than the number of losses. So it's better if we don't think about the amount we lose so that we won't be triggered to gamble longer to recover from our losses.

This awareness, is very necessary for everyone that gambles. Actually this is what most gamblers fail to realise , gambling is very very trickish. It will always get you close to winning for you to stake more and puts the thoughts of amounts you intend to win alone in you without evaluating your losses. The losses in gambling is greater than the win.

According to national lottery trust fund (NLTF) Nigerians spends estimated $975million daily on sports betting which amount $356 billion annually So you can see how much people are losing on daily basis on gambling. Gamblers should also focus on how much they loose daily on betting than the winning aspect alone.

Yeah there really is no assurance of winning on high capital if you did it on lower one. The fact that the specific time of luck coincide with your lower bet doesn't mean it will happen when you bet high. It is just the matter of luck.  You are just making yourself becoming an addict to gambling as you may crave for more and bigger winning

Always remember the risk not just the profit or gains, we should always remember that if there is a chance to gain it also comes with risk.
Consider both sides, and control how much you would risk.
Learn to plan how much are you willing to risk and at what point you would stop, it doesn't really matter how much you've already won if you aren't going to take it.
It isn't consider a profit unless you decides to stop and get out already.
Some gambler fail to evaluate the risk involved in gambling they tend to just gamble with the high impression of just making forgetting that the game itself was design to steal from you and take it wrongly if you want but I feel thats how the gambling is design to be and it gives a small percentage of gamblers that edge of winning while the whole multitude of other gamblers fall under the donators category and many people have failed to understand that the game itself is and win and lose situation.
Common sense and self awareness would really be the key bad sadly people do really failed up into this one on why they do really always end up on the bad or wrong choice.

It's not that most people failed because they lack common sense and self awareness that lead them into bad decision. I think all people are aware what kind of risk they are about to engage when they start gambling, it's just that we tend to ignore the fact that gambling will hand us over more losses than winning.
Typical mindset of a gambler is to place small bets regularly, it doesn't matter if they lose it since it's just a small amount that can be afford to lose. Most of the time our mind could be trick when we get 1 huge win out of like 50-100 bets we made the whole week. However, the accumulated losses are most probably not going to be covered by the amount of that 1 huge win.

Gamblers are fond of this kind of feeling especially when they win with small amount of stake, they wish that they had increased the bet amount so that the winning cash out will be high but they forget that it can also go into loses both with the small amount. The thing is at the next bet when they increase their risk, you lose which makes gambling a confusing game and luck base. We have to take our bet as we can afford to lose and be happy with it not to regret when we win with smaller amount and get tempted to increase stake unnecessary to the detriment of bankroll.

As long as you are comfortable with the money that you're going to lose, there's no need to focus on what you're going to lose instead it's ok to focus on your potential win and enjoyment, you should not play with money that you can't afford to lose, if you're convenient in betting $5k after you missed playing with that amount then go on the next round as long as you will not blame yourself if you lose that amount.
When it comes to gambling there are more losses than winnings, so if you understand gambling and its outcomes be convenient about what you bet and how much and hope for a win and enjoy the game.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

Thanks for giving clarity to this negative perception that greedy gamblers always have, when they win, instead of being happy for it, they'll rather begin to wonder if they had bet a larger amount definitely they'll be counting a far more win. So the question for them is why didn't they know that they'd win in the first place and use all their entire savings and investments to place the bet? That mindset is very harmful for every gambler who wishes to gamble responsibly, they should be contented with what the winning of what they can afford to loose brings for them. Always considering what if you lose a bet is a better mindset to have before gambling, rather than concentrating on amount to win that is not guaranteed, gambling is luck and the biggest mistake that a gambler can make is to bet amount that he cannot afford to loose.

That is right. It's not ours yet if we don't withdraw it yet. I heard that one before on a moderator of a popular gambling site. Once we enter our money on their website, deposit in short, that's when we lose the ownership of that asset. Now, once we withdraw it, that's when we can say it is our possession. In gaming terms, those are just coins or diamonds. We can use that kind of asset in the game but it's not really ours because we cannot spend it with something else.
The thing about winning is, we always want more. We will keep on trying to increase the winning amount even though we are already at a decent profit where we could spend it for something else that others cannot.
IMO, there must always be a plan set if we want to be responsible gamblers. If that planned amount is reached then there's nothing that must stop us from withdrawing that money or else next to it could be chaos if suddenly a losing streak will visit us.
I think that happened to me for a lot of time although my planned amount is not yet hit. It's decent enough to be withdrawn but I kept on trying to increase it by betting more and deciding to test my luck. In the end, it became a problem instead of a joyful end. Learn how to stop when you lose, but we also should learn how to end it when we know to ourselves that it is enough.

I think if someone is able to manage their gambling well in the sense of understanding the huge risks that are very likely to occur for a loss if they put a larger amount then I think they already have a good mindset, or the point is that they will definitely put the amount they can afford to lose if they are unlucky at that time, none other than because as I said they understand about the concept of winning and losing in gambling, one of which is that the percentage of winning is much smaller than losing so they prioritize precautions by only putting a small amount.

Having a good responsibility in gambling will reduce the level of worry for the final result that is not suitable, it is indeed a good mindset if from the beginning we have given up the money to lose, because by having such responsibility I think it is less likely for you to feel too disappointed, because if you are too disappointed until emotions dominate then that is usually the action out of control you are likely to choose such as putting a larger amount to restore the money that has been lost before. True, in gambling however what can dominate more is losing or that means the risk of losing is much greater because it is difficult to get luck for victory.

If they had some awareness about gambling, they would not find gambling so complicated. They just need to come to a casino, play some gambling games for some time, and stop gambling once they have had enough. It's that simple, but the reality is that not many people can do that because most of those people will spend a longer time gambling, which makes them lose more money. And if they have a winning target, it will be much more difficult to achieve because we don't know when we can win in gambling.

The number you mentioned could be higher because not all numbers have been written down. The number of people who lose when gambling will be even greater when they do not realize that gambling is entertainment. They will still try to pursue victory even though it is difficult. Gamblers can only prevent more losses by limiting their time and money.

At the beginning journey of gambling we have to risk money without thinking any profit. That's true we have to drop our money in water without thinking any profit. Yes that is important in the starting journey is of gambling you cannot start any journey without making risk without money. In the time money is more important then learning because if we learn we can't make it applyable without money that's the reason money is important.

This is when a player just wants to win, he plays, thinks about strategies, communicates with other players, but the main thing here is luck. If he is unlucky, he will be left with nothing and will again look for money to complete this point. He will spin like a squirrel in a wheel.

Let's imagine that the player still managed to win. After this, few people will spend it, but will continue to play again, even if the break is several days. All because he wants to win more and more, he doesn’t even know why he needs so much money, he’ll just press the button like a zombie until he loses everything. This is the main mistake: we need to think about our losses, even if we won a large amount of money and we don’t need any more. I would like for someone to hear us and it would influence him and the player would leave with a win. I will be glad even if it is only 1 player out of all those who write on our forum.

The thing is, if you are only focus on how much you may lose, it will only make your gambling activity doll. Why would you focus on how much you lose in the first place when you already know that the amount of money or bankroll you set is the amount you can afford to lose? It just doesn't make sense IMO.

Focus on how much you can win, this should be it, because if you don't have a goal on how much you will win, you will not know when to stop as that will  make you greedy, and because of that, you might end up losing everything since your luck will eventually ran out.

Well, when it comes to doing things better, it's true that you don't always have and get it into your head that you have to win by swearing, personally I have always said something, a casino and the games have to take care of themselves like the Fun , fun is the only thing that can help us try to save things, because seeing the casino as a way to earn an income, something like a job, well it's not good, things sometimes turn out very lucky, and well It may be that things can be focused on making them the best possible, I have seen how many people always go to the casino with the hope of winning, but they know very well that not much can be Done, that is , one should not see the casino as if it were a case of stress, of something that cannot be done whether he wins or not, well that is something else, but the plans of what happens there is something else.

Casinos are something else now, they have Different ways of seeing things , of course there is something that you have to know, it is that a casino will always have its own way of winning, the advantage of the casino is something that every Player must be aware of, and when a player is aware of that, he Understands and understands that Sometimes things are not so easy, and that many more things can be done to have more ways to play to win , and when one does not win, the player does not have Blame the casino that Stole it , just as you win you also lose , things in casinos have to be known how to do so as not to cause Inconvenience in our Pocket , for Example if we are playing and lose , we should not Insist, we should Accept , they must They always look for revenge in a casino because they lose more than they should, so it is a Matter of growing Up and showing that the casinos when they win have to take Advantage and withdraw the money , because if not, the money is gone, and if it goes, that's it, Everything , in a casino you must have Money , otherwise things will not Turn out well and that is what we Cannot Allow you.

It's right to do so, but also on the other approach, we can always have it in mind that gambling is a fifty by fifty chance on winning or loosing, so we are to prepare for the best and expect for the worst to happen, this will not get us into disappointment when what we expect didn't show up as winning.

Focus on how much you can win, this should be it, because if you don't have a goal on how much you will win, you will not know when to stop as that will  make you greedy, and because of that, you might end up losing everything since your luck will eventually ran out.

Having luck is not by how determined we are by the kind of bet we are playing in gambling, what we know about it also matters, which also comprises the skills we have in it with the luck that comes along with that same particular bet or game we are playing.

Gamblers can profit if they limit greed. If I start my bankroll with 1k and win 10k bets with that money I still want to win more. And when such a gambler's greed works at that time10k or 20k any amount they will loss. A common complaint of gamblers is that they can't win at gambling, but my question is how does a person who won't take a break after winning 10 times keep gambling money? If a gambler cannot keep track of profit and loss, he will certainly not be able to profit from gambling. Again, a gambler should accept losses and conduct his gambling accordingly.

While this is a very common occurrence, at the same time regardless of how obsessed a person may be with gambling, eventually they realize they cannot win, however instead of this realization making them to stop, they keep gambling anyway.

And this happens because despite knowing the truth they cannot stop themselves from gambling anymore, I know that this sounds very odd for us, but this is the scenario that is brought over and over again on the books I have read about the topic.
It's already difficult if someone is obsessed with gambling because he will only think about gambling and want to go back to gambling. He would not think about how he could avoid gambling and look for other things that could distract him. But if he keeps thinking about his past losses and there is a desire to return to gambling again, it is only a matter of time before he loses even more money.

Yes, they cannot stop gambling easily because there is an obsession that keeps coming to them and telling them to continue gambling. They will find it difficult to prevent themselves from returning to gambling unless they have a very strong desire to avoid gambling.
Someone who is very obsessed with gambling will find it difficult to stop because they will not feel regret even if they lose because their goal is only to be able to get as big a profit as they hoped for. If they feel regret they will stop and not be more obsessed with gambling. If one day he has lost everything, he will feel that his obsession has gone too far and plunged him into ruin.

It is not easy to cure someone who is obsessed with gambling, this can also be said to be an addiction, they tend not to be able to think clearly and always think about gambling continuously without thinking about how big their losses are, which is increasingly detrimental. In this case, of course someone will deepen their role and still not think about anything to avoid gambling.

If we focus too much on winning or losing, of course we will rush into gambling and we won't be able to apply any strategy in the games we play, because we think too much about how to win or avoid losing in the gambling we play.
Yes I agree with you, when we use a strategy in gambling and have set a limit for us to gamble I don't think we will experience big losses in the gambling we play and when we have reached the winning limit in the game we play we will of course be able to stop and enjoy the victory that we have obtained.

This is both an interesting and important way to look at how important it is to have a plan and only bet as much as you can afford to lose when you gamble. Instead of a smart and responsible way to gamble, the thought of "had I known" often makes people raise their bets out of greed. A very important piece of advice for safe gambling is to think about what you can afford to lose instead of what you might win. To promote healthy gambling behavior, it is helpful to remind people to stick to their budgets and keep an open mind about risk.

It takes a long time for gamblers to realize this, everyone always have their minds on the winning side only, it could have been harder for me to realize too but I already knew what gambling was all about, so I focused only on how much I am willing to lose over time and that's why I always enjoy my gambling session, few times I always get lucky, when I was not even expecting the luck to unfold on that day.

This is better and safer than having your mind on when you will win, you won't enjoy your game and your will be left with the guilt of mind for losing over and over, to become a good gambler you need to face the reality of gambling, that's by embracing loses over and over.

To make your losing not accountable for, you need to go your lowest, risk only what you can afford to lose, because you will have more losses visiting you than luck, just accept things and enjoy your games, the little the money, the more gambling activities you will be able to engage in, and you will have some winning days.

People who are rich have fulfillment in life with money because they are in a position to do whatever they wish with the money they have earned through different businesses or through investments. For common people or middle-class people, it is really tough for them to get fulfilled as they keep on working to make money and meet their needs. This is why most of the gamblers we saw were poor and middle-class people. When they bet $100 and win the bet, automatically he or she'll think we should've placed a higher amount so that more commitments and needs could've been managed for the month. This is the reality and a natural happening with the common people. As the OP said, everything needs to be calculative if not life gets ruined.

Of course, a gambler should gamble with that amount of money that gambling and losing that amount by gambling will not have any negative impact on his life. When it comes to gambling we forget that they should gamble according to their financial means. I don't think a person would decide to gamble in that situation if all the money is exhausted to support his family with his monthly salary. Not only this, but many times it is seen that even after spending enough money for his family, even when there is some money left, that person should not gamble because if he loses a small amount of money by gambling, it will be difficult for him to take care of his family. Although it is difficult to be responsible in gambling, when a gambler is responsible he will have illusions about his money so that he will not be too greedy in gambling.

This is both an interesting and important way to look at how important it is to have a plan and only bet as much as you can afford to lose when you gamble. Instead of a smart and responsible way to gamble, the thought of "had I known" often makes people raise their bets out of greed. A very important piece of advice for safe gambling is to think about what you can afford to lose instead of what you might win. To promote healthy gambling behavior, it is helpful to remind people to stick to their budgets and keep an open mind about risk.

That's the school of thoughts that we have been preaching in this community, just play what you can afford. But in principle it's really hard to follow that rule as per my experience. Sometimes I wanted to stop already and not gamble the money that I won or simply quit when I exhausted the money, my bankroll for that particular gambling session of mine.

But there are times that I will deposit not one but twice and lose again before I realized that what I'm doing is not correct and it's better to stop and stop the bleeding on my end. So for those who practice this adage, good for you, but I will assume that gamblers are tempted to deposit or have that itch to put more money beyond our budget.

Isnt it like we're all playing this unpredictable game? "Play what you can afford" sounds straightforward, but its hard to do, especially when emotions are high. I've rollercoastered between stopping and depositing "just once more".

Sometimes we forget that gambling is intended to be pleasurable. When you reach your limit, its good to step back. Being self-aware and controlling the game is key.

Its a game, so enjoy it, everyone surfing this wave. Always play within your means, celebrate triumphs, and learn from losses. Responsibility isnt enough - you must keep the game fun. Who knows. They may be the true jackpot we're after.

In my personal opinion I think that we don't need to focus on how much will lose and how much we own potential win. I always think that before doing gambling we should know our afford zone. And then we should make a strategy and set a limit then starting gambling. In this case I think we don't need to focus and your them lose and winning.
If we focus too much on winning or losing, of course we will rush into gambling and we won't be able to apply any strategy in the games we play, because we think too much about how to win or avoid losing in the gambling we play.
Yes I agree with you, when we use a strategy in gambling and have set a limit for us to gamble I don't think we will experience big losses in the gambling we play and when we have reached the winning limit in the game we play we will of course be able to stop and enjoy the victory that we have obtained.

Gamblers who show no appreciation for winning, would regret they won. Those who regret don't feel happy after winning because they would regret not wagering a bigger amount to the game. It's not a good form of gambling and such gamblers end up in huge regrets trying to stake next the designated huge amount in their mind. When they lose out the huge amount, they'll wonder and blame themselves why they didn't wager smaller amount of money. These experiences leave the player not to enjoy his gambling habit. As it's enticing to feel happy after winning, regardless of the amount we lose in the process. Enjoying the process is better than complaining over the amount we won in gambling. There are stages to the amount of money we wager in gambling, and we all can get to a level where we'd wager effortlessly huge amount of money.

This is when a player just wants to win, he plays, thinks about strategies, communicates with other players, but the main thing here is luck. If he is unlucky, he will be left with nothing and will again look for money to complete this point. He will spin like a squirrel in a wheel.

Let's imagine that the player still managed to win. After this, few people will spend it, but will continue to play again, even if the break is several days. All because he wants to win more and more, he doesn’t even know why he needs so much money, he’ll just press the button like a zombie until he loses everything. This is the main mistake: we need to think about our losses, even if we won a large amount of money and we don’t need any more. I would like for someone to hear us and it would influence him and the player would leave with a win. I will be glad even if it is only 1 player out of all those who write on our forum.
This will happen when someone gambles and wants to make money from gambling. He will become more focused on recovering from his losses, which will never be easy because he will probably face many losses. He will probably spend so much money just to recover his losses that he will not realize he has actually lost a lot of money.

When he has won and still wants more wins, he will continue his gambling game and hope to get the next win, as if the win he has already gotten is not enough to satisfy him. In fact, things like that should not happen when gambling because it will only trigger him to experience loss again and again so that he will only lose more money. We do need to calculate the losses and the money lost, but we cannot recover the losses because it is difficult and requires more money, which also does not guarantee that we can recover the losses. That's why if we don't want to lose a lot, we have to be able to limit our gambling activities so that we don't have to lose a lot of money.

Someone who is very obsessed with gambling will find it difficult to stop because they will not feel regret even if they lose because their goal is only to be able to get as big a profit as they hoped for. If they feel regret they will stop and not be more obsessed with gambling. If one day he has lost everything, he will feel that his obsession has gone too far and plunged him into ruin.

It is not easy to cure someone who is obsessed with gambling, this can also be said to be an addiction, they tend not to be able to think clearly and always think about gambling continuously without thinking about how big their losses are, which is increasingly detrimental. In this case, of course someone will deepen their role and still not think about anything to avoid gambling.
It was very difficult to realize that he had gotten too deep into gambling when he was already obsessed with gambling. This will only lead him deeper into gambling without even realizing it, which will only give him more problems. He can develop a gambling addiction because of his obsession, and when that happens, he will not see the fact that he has actually become a serious gambling addict. He will also experience more loss than before because he cannot realize that reality.

If there is no awareness that he has a gambling addiction and needs help to cure it, a person will fall into gambling, and his gambling will become even worse. He will not be able to think clearly just because he wants to gamble, while he has nothing left because everything has been lost or run out due to excessive gambling. A person who can accept the reality and truth about his losses from gambling and his gambling addiction will try to open himself up and tell his biggest problem so that the people around him will try to help him. That's the possibility that can happen to people who only focus on recovering from their losses without realizing that they are already too deep in gambling.

I agree with you, someone who is addicted to gambling or is obsessed with gambling tends to have a stubborn attitude and doesn't care about things that happen, such as the losses they experience. Their annoyance will probably also make them gamble more aggressively. In my opinion, in order for them to stop gambling, it seems like they have to have self-awareness first, because if they are aware of the losses that have occurred, they will probably start to consider gambling.

Of course this is a difficult thing, because it is impossible if they are already addicted or obsessed with gambling to stop completely at once, of course they have to face various things, including restraining themselves from being tempted by gambling. because they could be in the process of recovery but when they see their friends get a big win then they might go back to gambling, but if people are consistent with their decisions maybe they won't be easily tempted, even if their friends get a big win.

We read news about how people who win fantastic amounts in the lottery can only keep the money for a short time because in a short time they become poor again because they are mentally unable to receive the big money.

Gambling reflects our ego, a test of our nerves and greed. At first, many players play calmly, but then they are consistently swung from side to side by emotional swings, like a pendulum. From winning when the player imagines buying a new car, but losing when thoughts arise about borrowing money to continue this entertaining process. So, if a person is calm and balanced, he can simply close the game and continue next time, without the influence of emotions on him, but there are few such players. This will certainly infuriate other players and they will begin to bet more and more each time and at some point it will lose common sense. Therefore, the main thing here is to think about what we are like inside and what the game can do to us in the worst case, before playing it. What losses can we suffer? I am sure that almost no one ever thinks about this, everyone just wants to get rich quickly and have fun.

The different thing in between minding losses over winning is that on the time that you do get used to loses then you would really be that making yourself that somewhat numb towards it.
This what causes you for not to be that impulsive anymore towards gambling specially that you do able to realize those things along the way and make you realize that it was never been that easy
on making winning on gambling on which it is really just that totally opposite on what you had been expecting or anticipating because once that real shit things happen then
this is where realization would be kicking in and this is really just that that typical stuff. Somewhat it cant be avoided that people would really be sticking and minding about potential wins
and even going advanced.

This your perspective is a good one but then it's very much applicable only when you are just getting entertained and be sure it's strictly entertainment you are doing and no form of expectations are involved , not the self decit of entertainment meanwhile you have some other expectations along side.

It's important you focus more on how much you are loosing and that's when you will be able to employ good risk management, this doesn't mean you will not give attention to your winnings, definitely you should also consider what you will get in return if this favours you.when you give attention to how much you could loose, there's this consciousness on how much you will risk because you now get to watch the amount you are risking as compared to your pocket size. Trying to strike the balance keeps you profitable because you know if you win, you are making this much but if you loose you will be Lossing this much too aswell.

When we are used to losing, there will be a tendency to experience boredom when gambling and maybe that will make us try to reduce our gambling activities. We will not be passive about gambling and will not be too interested in trying to gamble again because we often experience loss. It is a way to try to reduce their gambling activities because when they get bored of gambling due to continuous losing, they will realize that gambling is not for them, so they have to leave it immediately. Especially if they can see that they have lost a lot of money while gambling, so they have no desire to gamble again for a while. If they can fill their free time by doing other things, they can really leave gambling perhaps forever, especially with the experience of experiencing continuous loss. It will make them not want to experience it again.

I don't know if life is randomly arranged events or if they are meaningful arrangements, it's almost a given that if we take an overly ambitious view of it, ambition will constantly entice us to spin and lose, typically, in work and study, many people still get promoted easily even though they have no expectations, they just know that they will fulfill their responsibilities at work, instead of proving that their advancement is necessary. It feels like we should build a sense of relief and not adhere to any hope, gambling will automatically become a playground where we can advance, but of course, exploring these random states in gambling is not recommended

Good topic. A lot of people dont realize how much they gonna lose if they place "that particular bet". All the care is to win. No matter how much, just to win. I dont understand why some people would risk $100 only to win $1. $100 is a significant amount, lots of things can be purchased on it. On the other side is $1. Basically nothing nowadays. You can buy a bottle of water on it. People call such bets as safe bets. But there are no safe bets. I have seen people bet large amounts, win that little money multiple times in a row, and then they get busted. Then they bet that little what they have won with risky odds, trying to win back, and lose everything in the end.

Well that's right, I experienced what you said about too many defeats that made me feel bored in the end and this is also enough to encourage me to finally reduce my gambling activities, to be honest at first I was a gambler who could be said to be very active, I couldn't miss a day not to gamble, even one day I can do several sessions on types of gambling such as slot machines which are now very busy in the conversation and when defeats continue to dominate after that I really feel a sense of boredom with a little sense of despair because in my mind I can already guess that the end result will definitely be the same as what I often experience, namely losing so that it makes my interest in winning even less until finally now I am very rarely involved in gambling, I don't remember when I last gambled but if I'm not mistaken about 2 months ago.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.

A gambler who doesn't win will easily stop gambling compared to those who win while losing at same time. The winning helps to thrill the gambler to participate further in the game. The minimal wins for the player, means he could win the bigger amount. Those different thoughts have unique effects on the gambler. Some would reach there, while others will struggle out of the trouble chasing losses leads them. The greedy players don't get content of what they've won. They try to earn bigger amount, by wagering higher than their constant amount money. Here, the gambler can get upset over his new decision. Which can affect their earnings. Staying contented as a gambler, helps in limiting the losses of the gambler to a minimal stage. Thereby, the gambler easily understands his strategies and control himself.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

I've been wondering if these people would ever be happy. Because being satisfied and thankful for what ever i have, has been pretty major reason for my happiness in life. I am not kicking walls not selling one of my altcoin at the top for 20 bitcoins that i would have got at the time when bitcoin was cheap, or selling my eth when it was $12. Or not choosing that next scratch card with the top prize.

Because looking what i could have done more, or better, choosing otherwise, betting more or investing more in hindsight and being bitter over that is literally throwing my time and happiness away for nothing.   

And not focusing on loss has been in my thoughts for a while, especially when ever i hear people saying they can make money short term with with martingale strategy. Because they don't seem to get that even though they are not starting by risking a lot of money There's a change that they are risking their whole budget in one chain of bets.

Yes, I agree that some people truly regret their actions due to greed. While it is true that they will always profit more from large bets, if they have already placed their desired wager, they will likely experience deep regret in the event of a loss, which could lead them to self-doubt.People are so confusing sometimes that it seems as though their thoughts are weather-related. For example, when it rains, people complain that it's not sunny, but when it's sunny, they still complain that they wanted it to rain.
In my opinion, it is usually wise to weigh the possible benefits and drawbacks while making decisions. Responsible gambling, in my opinion, entails being aware of and accepting the dangers involved. Additionally, by concentrating on our possible losses, we may set boundaries, make better decisions, and refrain from taking on too much risk.

I highly agree with this.  We must focus on the "how much I can afford to lose".  This is much easier and less frustrating since we only gamble the amount that we can afford to lose.  If we done that, there is no need for us to focus on how much we are losing because it can be considered as expenses for entertainment just like when we are watching movies and going out to a vacation.  

Focusing on how much one will lose will kill the entertainment because the person will be worried that he will lose his balance and it kills the purpose of enjoying the gambling session.  If we are worried about the losses then I think it is better to not gambling at all to save us from worries which can affect our health.

When gambling, a loss is something we will definitely experience, while winning is just a possibility. Because the fact is that achieving victory in gambling is not an easy thing and could perhaps be said to be inevitable, unless you are skilled enough at gambling or lucky enough at gambling.

And actually, regret when you lose is normal. However, if someone only feels regret without doing anything else, then regret has no meaning at all. Because it should be, when we feel regret after getting unsatisfactory results in gambling, this can encourage us to be better, more careful and wiser in gambling, and also encourage us to further improve our abilities and knowledge to How can we continue to minimize the level of losses that occur and increase the possibility of winning in gambling. And to reduce the feeling of deep regret, bet an amount that we are prepared to lose.

If we are to go by the way of how much we have lost while gambling, we may seemed discouraged in seing how far it has all being and that alone may be a reason for being disappointed on our own self in gambling, we should learn to understand and know the reason why we are even gambling, also, we must be able to engage gambling with the amount of fund we have and can release to go for the sake and purpose of gambling without any regrets in us.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.

I am glad to listen to your own story about quiting of gambling. Gambling at most times comes with negativity rather than positivity.  Although one will say, gambling has some advantages, however the disadvantages of gambling are much more than the advantages.

1. Gambling have caused so many people into psychological problems, because of the high level of probability and unpredictability, many people become highly tensed and frustrated and as such becomes mentally derailed.

2. Gambling makes a lot of people to enter into financial crisis. As bad as the economy of the world is, gambling have caused many people into financial issues and debts thereby affecting them in life.

3. Gambling is regarded as a game of pleasure or a game that people engage in for fun. Because of the nature of the games, it makes it difficult for people to leave it even when they are recording failure. They still stick to playing the gambling games and deriving pleasure in them.

One have to be truly honest about gambling, and the honesty is that, although gambling  have his advantages, but the disadvantages that comes with the advantages are humungos.

i agree what you enumerated about gambling. that's the hard truth about this activity. but, do remember, whatever you will do in terms of gambling, will indeed influence your way of life one way or another. financial or emotional aspect of life. but if you think you can be of control of yourself and contain how you manage your financials and yourself, i guess, you can still experience the fun and entertainment that the gambling can offer. just think of those people who are going to offline casinos on occasional basis bringing only cash that they can afford to lose. i believe they can have a very good experience of a lifetime. and that i am sure, they will appreciate the existence of casinos, because they can truly see the fun side of it.

If we are to go by the way of how much we have lost while gambling, we may seemed discouraged in seing how far it has all being and that alone may be a reason for being disappointed on our own self in gambling, we should learn to understand and know the reason why we are even gambling, also, we must be able to engage gambling with the amount of fund we have and can release to go for the sake and purpose of gambling without any regrets in us.

understanding oneself is the first step to learn yourself, as you can identify your ambitions or your goals why you are heading to this activity in the first place. if you are just an occasional gambler, then, there's nothing to worry about going to casinos. as for sure, you are here to spend only your spare money. but as a regular gambler, you may have some certain targets of possible winnings, and that i can say, you may possibly chase your losses and can easily lost your way along the process. this i think need a check-and-balance from time to time so as not to steer from the right direction.

In my personal opinion I think that we don't need to focus on how much will lose and how much we own potential win. I always think that before doing gambling we should know our afford zone. And then we should make a strategy and set a limit then starting gambling. In this case I think we don't need to focus and your them lose and winning.

Players always focus on what they can get or, conversely, what they might lose and don't look at how much they can afford, whether we can afford to lose or we can afford to win, and this does sound strange because everyone will of course be able to accept whatever the winnings are but only a few are able to manage these results so that they can provide us with more benefits.
We read news about how people who win fantastic amounts in the lottery can only keep the money for a short time because in a short time they become poor again because they are mentally unable to receive the big money.
but if we focus on defeat, our emotions will rise and be carried away by a heated situation, forcing the situation to return to previous defeats, I agree with not focusing too much on defeat and victory, if we focus on winning alone it is also not good enough because no one can we ensure to win in betting
If you have to be willing, win and enjoy
The different thing in between minding losses over winning is that on the time that you do get used to loses then you would really be that making yourself that somewhat numb towards it.
This what causes you for not to be that impulsive anymore towards gambling specially that you do able to realize those things along the way and make you realize that it was never been that easy
on making winning on gambling on which it is really just that totally opposite on what you had been expecting or anticipating because once that real shit things happen then
this is where realization would be kicking in and this is really just that that typical stuff. Somewhat it cant be avoided that people would really be sticking and minding about potential wins
and even going advanced.
Isnt it this strange, pleasant numbness? After a few bumps, your perspective changes. Gambling becomes more like chess with luck than a thrill trip.

Accepting losses makes gambling more pleasurable! Being prepared for a spill at a party makes you enjoy the atmosphere more. When you're not focused on winning, you enjoy the game's pleasure and intrigue.

Remember the social aspect. Online forums like this one become venues to recount losses, laugh at near-wins, and bond over the collective emotional roller coaster. The journey matters more than the goal.

It is gonna go with the tip that we always say about "gambling what you can afford to lose". This is for everyone that may have a positive thought that he/she may win a lot of money as they gamble. But when you're about losing your bets, you're not going to be hurtful with that because it is the amount that you can afford to lose. And when you're okay with the amount that you've set as the bankroll, it's typical to think of the amount on how much you're possible to win.

Yes, I agree that some people truly regret their actions due to greed. While it is true that they will always profit more from large bets, if they have already placed their desired wager, they will likely experience deep regret in the event of a loss, which could lead them to self-doubt.People are so confusing sometimes that it seems as though their thoughts are weather-related. For example, when it rains, people complain that it's not sunny, but when it's sunny, they still complain that they wanted it to rain.
In my opinion, it is usually wise to weigh the possible benefits and drawbacks while making decisions. Responsible gambling, in my opinion, entails being aware of and accepting the dangers involved. Additionally, by concentrating on our possible losses, we may set boundaries, make better decisions, and refrain from taking on too much risk.

When gambling, a loss is something we will definitely experience, while winning is just a possibility. Because the fact is that achieving victory in gambling is not an easy thing and could perhaps be said to be inevitable, unless you are skilled enough at gambling or lucky enough at gambling.

And actually, regret when you lose is normal. However, if someone only feels regret without doing anything else, then regret has no meaning at all. Because it should be, when we feel regret after getting unsatisfactory results in gambling, this can encourage us to be better, more careful and wiser in gambling, and also encourage us to further improve our abilities and knowledge to How can we continue to minimize the level of losses that occur and increase the possibility of winning in gambling. And to reduce the feeling of deep regret, bet an amount that we are prepared to lose.
It's true that you can efficiently manage your risk by only wagering how much you're willing to lose. There is always a danger of losing a bet while gambling, which is intrinsically unpredictable. We can therefore shield ourselves from any financial hardship or emotional distress that might result from losing more than we can afford to lose if we establish a limit on what we are willing to lose.
 
In addition, if you view your bets as entertainment costs rather than financial gains, you'll be able to enjoy the experience guilt-free. By viewing gambling as a kind of entertainment rather than a means of generating income, we can enjoy the thrill and excitement it brings without getting overly attached to the result.
We tend to be more logical and thoughtful in our decision-making when we wager an amount we are willing to lose. And as we all know, making emotional decisions can result in rash and impulsive wagers since they are frequently motivated by the need to recoup losses.

Thinking about your losses is just a way to discourage irresponsible gambling, and this is because it is often the case that when you think about anything, you only consider all the positive things that can happen to you if things go your way.

But reality does not really work like that, and there are many instances in which things will turn out in the exact opposite way that we envisioned, so in order to not forget about it, thinking about the losses you could incur could damp down the chances of making those outrageous bets.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.
I have not thought like this before, that had it been I have used higher amount of money to gamble on certain matches or game that I would have won more. But I noticed that I did increased the amount I used to gamble. That was because the more the money that you staked, the more you can win. Although not because of past games won. I do not think more about the lose but just the profit. And the more that I lost at the time.
Having the mindset of regretting  not increasing the amount of bet to be won can be a serious problem for a gambler that he will always think of increasing any game in the future thinking that it will end up with a win. Since gambling is unpredictable their is no need to regret for not increasing the amount because it is not always winning in gambling occur. Planning to increase a bet expectpecting win can end up to be lose.

Having the understanding of accepting every win in gambling whether it is small or not is the best mindset of avoiding greed  that can end up to be lose. The best way to play gamble is to play with what one can afford to lose , let's not be too greedy of a particular win thinking that it is a guarantee to always win bet in the future.

I don't see a problem with increasing bet amounts since there are strategies that force you to increase your bet amounts for it to be effective. I'm more concerned about the capability of the gambler, if the gambler continues to increase the amount at stake to the point that he cannot support it or he couldn't lose it anymore because it can affect him pretty hard, that is the time where the gambler is about to get Fk-uped.

I believe that every gambler should know what there limits at or their capability of handling high bet amounts. It matters really, having no idea what your limit at might push you so much that you get to the point that you are getting greedy on what you are doing.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!


OP, I want you to understand that there is a stage a gambler will reach in gambling he or she will no longer think about gambling with what they can afford to lose, there major focus now is to putting more effort in other to win, that's how gamblers think, a gambler believe that if they gamble with a lesser and high stake there is a great possibility of them winning than losing because of the safer odd they selected, most gamblers bet high when the win because their mindset is like, we are using the money we won to go back not our personal money and this will make them take more risk than they do before, it is normal for a gambler to behave because that's their reasoning.

This is definitely a very good gambling advice. Gambling in terms of win and loss is usually a 50/50 chance which is a nice odd on winning but also risky on the side of losses.
It is very important for gamblers to take into consideration what they may lose if they eventually loss a stake.

However most times gamblers fail to do that because they sometimes keep a blind eye to the effects of the loss and focus only on the possible win. When staking in a luck based game it is important to also consider your chances of losing as a guide for the right amount to stake.
Addicts in some occasions can even stake heavily when they are aware that the have a very thin chance of winning. This is a very wrong practice.

I agree with you, someone who is addicted to gambling or is obsessed with gambling tends to have a stubborn attitude and doesn't care about things that happen, such as the losses they experience. Their annoyance will probably also make them gamble more aggressively. In my opinion, in order for them to stop gambling, it seems like they have to have self-awareness first, because if they are aware of the losses that have occurred, they will probably start to consider gambling.

Of course this is a difficult thing, because it is impossible if they are already addicted or obsessed with gambling to stop completely at once, of course they have to face various things, including restraining themselves from being tempted by gambling. because they could be in the process of recovery but when they see their friends get a big win then they might go back to gambling, but if people are consistent with their decisions maybe they won't be easily tempted, even if their friends get a big win.
Gambling reflects our ego, a test of our nerves and greed. At first, many players play calmly, but then they are consistently swung from side to side by emotional swings, like a pendulum. From winning when the player imagines buying a new car, but losing when thoughts arise about borrowing money to continue this entertaining process. So, if a person is calm and balanced, he can simply close the game and continue next time, without the influence of emotions on him, but there are few such players. This will certainly infuriate other players and they will begin to bet more and more each time and at some point it will lose common sense. Therefore, the main thing here is to think about what we are like inside and what the game can do to us in the worst case, before playing it. What losses can we suffer? I am sure that almost no one ever thinks about this, everyone just wants to get rich quickly and have fun.

You are right, in my opinion gambling can change the mind of someone who gambles in a short time, because those who initially play calmly can become tense because the gambling they do gives them a sensation that makes them stunned, like almost getting a big win. and this factor also makes their emotions uncontrollable, when they lose but they almost win and that can make them influenced by things that make them gamble again.

Indeed, only a few people can control their emotions when gambling, many of them cannot control their emotions, especially when they lose. When they lose, they should take action to just stop and continue another day, because maybe on another day they will have good luck. side that made them win. that's true, I think almost no one thinks about that, because they only think about the victory they can get, on the other hand,  victory cannot possibly be obtained easily, because the chance of winning in gambling is still less than the chance of losing who is in gambling. This needs to be remembered, because it is to prevent them from doing excessive gambling. just like preventing emotions from occurring, it is completely in their own control, also with emotions that exist it is completely in their own control.

No, if you understand correctly then the chances of losing can be much greater and this is proven by how many more losses get than wins.
When all gamblers calculate the final results of all bets from the beginning until now, I am sure that 70% are defeats and 30% of them are wins, so it can be concluded that defeat is more certain guarantee.
Yes, all gamblers must take into account and consider every loss and risk of defeat that will occur, this aims to prevent defeat.

This is all because gamblers believe that victory is on their side, whereas there is no single aspect that can guarantee victory for the gamblers.
Moreover, when see that there are opportunities that are quite convincing and there are odds that are worthy enough to bet on, then all the risks can seem like they don't exist.
The average gambler, especially those who are addicted, have almost the same perspective and mindset, namely that they don't care about the risks and they forget what defeat is.
This is why an addict can experience bigger losses and even losing streaks occur more frequently.

Yes honestly I am very grateful when people face a lot of gambling problems whether it is addiction or impact or problems as a result of addiction but it turns out that I myself can do something like this where suddenly and without any intention a sense of boredom comes to my mind even though there is a chance of winning which is always a goal by most people but this is really boring for me, you are right friends overall what dominates in gambling is the bad impact whether it is losing a lot of money or even to stress, one of the reasons is because obviously the percentage of winning is much lower than losing and this is also what makes me even more demoralized to gamble again.

Of course, gambling is very mentally and psychologically involved and if you engage in it with seriousness especially if your main focus is on winning then obviously you will feel psychological disorders because the final result is more losing than winning and that makes us emotional.

As pointed out above, the winning percentage is much lower than the losing percentage and this is confirmed by the fact that you must also know that losing at the end of the session is more common than winning and obviously for people who overdo it in trying to win then usually the opposite happens, they suffer from the problems you mentioned which is one of them losing balance in terms of finances.

That's right, it's nothing more than a game of chance without any certainty as to the end result, so the best advice is to be a responsible gambler.

Well that's right, I experienced what you said about too many defeats that made me feel bored in the end and this is also enough to encourage me to finally reduce my gambling activities, to be honest at first I was a gambler who could be said to be very active, I couldn't miss a day not to gamble, even one day I can do several sessions on types of gambling such as slot machines which are now very busy in the conversation and when defeats continue to dominate after that I really feel a sense of boredom with a little sense of despair because in my mind I can already guess that the end result will definitely be the same as what I often experience, namely losing so that it makes my interest in winning even less until finally now I am very rarely involved in gambling, I don't remember when I last gambled but if I'm not mistaken about 2 months ago.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.
Well, I think you are not alone in feeling boredom because I have also experienced it, and it made me try to reduce my gambling activities. I feel bored when playing gambling because the result is always losing and rarely winning, even small wins. But I am grateful that by reducing gambling activities, I can really divert my mind from gambling so that I don't think about gambling even when I'm relaxing. Experiencing losses more often makes me think about the benefits of gambling for me because as long as I gamble, I often lose more than I win. And if people realize that if they are on a losing streak, they may need to give up gambling for a while.

It's good if you can feel calm by reducing your gambling activities so that you don't think too much about gambling anymore. Overcoming boredom by taking a short break is worth doing because it can help to calm your thoughts about gambling. They can also distance themselves from the continuous losses they experience so that those who are bored of gambling can try to divert it to other things so that at least it can reduce their gambling activities. It also helps them to avoid problems from gambling.

~snip~
A gambler who doesn't win will easily stop gambling compared to those who win while losing at same time. The winning helps to thrill the gambler to participate further in the game. The minimal wins for the player, means he could win the bigger amount. Those different thoughts have unique effects on the gambler. Some would reach there, while others will struggle out of the trouble chasing losses leads them. The greedy players don't get content of what they've won. They try to earn bigger amount, by wagering higher than their constant amount money. Here, the gambler can get upset over his new decision. Which can affect their earnings. Staying contented as a gambler, helps in limiting the losses of the gambler to a minimal stage. Thereby, the gambler easily understands his strategies and control himself.
However, some gamblers have experienced loss and will decide to continue gambling because they feel they still have a chance to win. They still feel confident to continue gambling, so they will try again another day and will even try gambling again with more money. If they can win, it doesn't satisfy them, but they will continue gambling to get even bigger wins. That is the greed within a gambler where they don't think about losing again. And if they lose again from continuing to gamble, they will probably be annoyed and say they will come back another day to avenge their loss. If his goal is like that, he will only try to recover from his loss first and then try to win. But instead of recovering from his losses, he will lose even more so that he won't be able to win.

The measure to verify that a gambler is not getting addicted is by how he's very conscious of his bankroll not  gambling beyond what he can afford to lose and if he got to a stage he's no more concerned about how much money he's losing then that's a clear sign of addictive tendency. As a gambler Whether you gamble lesser or higher, let it be that your higher in amount is within the range of what you can afford to lose so it doesn't seem your gambling recklessly.

Quote
most gamblers bet high when the win because their mindset is like, we are using the money we won to go back not our personal money and this will make them take more risk than they do before, it is normal for a gambler to behave because that's their reasoning. 
This is a wrong mindset for a gambler to dwell with, winning doesn't occur regularly for before a gambler could have a win he must have made series of losses that with a single win it is like recouping all the losses he has made previously so therefore having the mindset that it is money won and it is okay to dive all in with all of the money it is all a loss loss for you because the money want wasn't one from the pocket of the house but from your previous losses and that is why each win will make from gambling we shouldn't celebrate as if it was money one against the house that is why it is said we cannot beat the house for that's one of the hedge they have over we the gamblers.

Well that's right, I experienced what you said about too many defeats that made me feel bored in the end and this is also enough to encourage me to finally reduce my gambling activities, to be honest at first I was a gambler who could be said to be very active, I couldn't miss a day not to gamble, even one day I can do several sessions on types of gambling such as slot machines which are now very busy in the conversation and when defeats continue to dominate after that I really feel a sense of boredom with a little sense of despair because in my mind I can already guess that the end result will definitely be the same as what I often experience, namely losing so that it makes my interest in winning even less until finally now I am very rarely involved in gambling, I don't remember when I last gambled but if I'm not mistaken about 2 months ago.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.
Well, I think you are not alone in feeling boredom because I have also experienced it, and it made me try to reduce my gambling activities. I feel bored when playing gambling because the result is always losing and rarely winning, even small wins. But I am grateful that by reducing gambling activities, I can really divert my mind from gambling so that I don't think about gambling even when I'm relaxing. Experiencing losses more often makes me think about the benefits of gambling for me because as long as I gamble, I often lose more than I win. And if people realize that if they are on a losing streak, they may need to give up gambling for a while.

It's good if you can feel calm by reducing your gambling activities so that you don't think too much about gambling anymore. Overcoming boredom by taking a short break is worth doing because it can help to calm your thoughts about gambling. They can also distance themselves from the continuous losses they experience so that those who are bored of gambling can try to divert it to other things so that at least it can reduce their gambling activities. It also helps them to avoid problems from gambling.

Yes maybe you are the same as me in terms of experience in the world of gambling, I don't know if there are enough people who have also managed to quit gambling activities because they are tired of losing or not, on the other hand I think not everyone can take this path when losing dominates them, Or I mean not everyone can choose to quit when they have lost enough because there are also those who are basically gamblers who are unable to accept the fact that they lost and what happens instead is an act of revenge, they come again with a large amount of budget as a dedication to chasing victory and returning something that has been lost and it's not once or twice they do but while they have money then there is a possibility to chase victory.

So I think it depends on the person too, but honestly I don't know what influences or causes why they choose something else, and yes maybe I will predict a little that they don't have the right understanding of gambling at all or it could be that they have a personality that is easily provoked by things that upset them even though it's trivial and that's why obviously when defeat dominates then yes usually they will chase victory. On the other hand, I hope there will be more people who have the same feelings as me or you, which I hope they feel bored when they always lose so that they can slightly reduce unwanted things such as the amount of defeat.

I agree with what you said that a gambler should focus on how much he might lose not on his potential winnings. By considering how much he might lose, a gambler can avoid bad decisions that might interfere with his financial condition. And considering the risk of loss also includes a responsible attitude that can make gambling activities enjoyable and prevent gamblers from becoming addicted to it and maintain their mental health.

It's true that you can efficiently manage your risk by only wagering how much you're willing to lose. There is always a danger of losing a bet while gambling, which is intrinsically unpredictable. We can therefore shield ourselves from any financial hardship or emotional distress that might result from losing more than we can afford to lose if we establish a limit on what we are willing to lose.
 

Yes… these are all just estimates because there is no single strategy that can provide a 100% guarantee of victory. So it's not a good thing if we have to bet everything on something we're not sure we'll get. “Bet correctly, so that it is easier for us to control it” and we must be well aware that there is only a slight difference between “brave” and “reckless”. someone who is brave enough in betting, he will always be able to pay off any amount he loses in gambling, but someone who is careless enough without having to think twice, he is very brave if he has to bet a large enough amount, but he is unable to accept a loss. someone who is careless, there is always regret behind the amount of his big bet.

Quote
We tend to be more logical and thoughtful in our decision-making when we wager an amount we are willing to lose. And as we all know, making emotional decisions can result in rash and impulsive wagers since they are frequently motivated by the need to recoup losses.

And I agree about that. because when gambling or betting, we really have to have a cool head, good emotional control and good financial control too. So the decisions we take are really quite mature and have gone through various stages, such as gathering information, using strategies and good analysis.

Perhaps some people experience the same thing as we do and finally decide to stop gambling for a while. It really helps to be able to divert from gambling because stopping gambling and looking for other things that can keep us busy can provide pleasure as well as the pleasure we get from gambling. Some other people can choose to stop gambling for a while, but they still find it difficult to leave gambling, so they are not able to immediately leave gambling. But if they deposit more money into their gambling account, they may experience an even bigger loss than before. And it will be more painful than the previous experience.

Yes, it depends on the person because, in this case, their honesty will show whether gambling benefits them or they are just experiencing consecutive defeats, which means they have lost more money. Those who are still curious about gambling will not choose to stop gambling for a while because they still want to experience the challenge of recovering their losses or winning again. But it's still not easy, and it can even make them lose a lot of money because, at that time, they may not have good self-control anymore, so they are easily tempted by the promotions they see from gambling.

It is not all gamblers that have that mindset of winning and use their win to gamble back. Some gamblers are lucky enough to have a big win at the right time that they needed money badly to invest into something. The topic that you have presented shows that the man is a responsible gambler and knows what he is doing and what he needs in life.

I have also seen a forum member that posted what he used the money that he won from gambling to buy which was a television. If we spend our win wisely, we wouldn't regret that we have spent so much on gambling without gaining profit.

A balanced approach is always necessary when thinking about all the possible outcomes that may come to happen due to our actions.

Since those that only think about the good things that could happen will take a bunch of unnecessary risks during their lives, while those that that only think about the negative things that could happen will miss a great deal of good opportunities as well due to being paralyzed by their fears, so we need to look at both sides of the coin and then take a decision based on what we think is best for us and the chances of each scenario happening.

But if gamblers have the mindset to win, they have to be careful enough because it can lead to defeat and if they cannot control themselves, the loss will be bigger. That is why every gambler must be responsible for avoiding losses when gambling.

When they can get winnings from gambling, they can use them to buy the things they want. And they should be able to allocate the winnings to meet their daily needs. That is why if we get the winning money, we must be able to know the allocation of how the money will be used.

So we can be wise in using the winning money for our lives. And getting that winning money can indeed be a life changer for us. And that's what we've been chasing all this time.

That's one of the key things most gamblers fail to watch out for, how much you can afford to lose.
Most gamblers don't know how bad it is to gambles with what they can't afford to lose, when you gambles with money that puts you at the edge of your seat, you will always be in a mood of panicking.

I believe that gambles is a thing of fun, so putting yourself in a very tight corner by gambling what you can't afford to lose is very wrong, because at that point, it's no longer fun when the bet is going against you.
I have also had a terrible experience of such, by betting what I can't afford to lose, after that terrible experience, I feared anything gambling till today.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

OP, I vividly understand you, but gamblers don't think this way, note the idea of a gambler is to win despite that most of them know that losing is inevitable in gambling, some gamblers see winning to be a constant thing in gambling but that's is high level of fallacy, gambling has principles and these principles must come to play, it is normal for a good gambler to have it in mind that gambling is not a certain event so that when you gamble, your expectation shouldn't be one sided, you should reason in different direction which is the aspect of failing to retain your stake or getting your stake back with profits attached.

OP, I want you to understand that there is a stage a gambler will reach in gambling he or she will no longer think about gambling with what they can afford to lose, there major focus now is to putting more effort in other to win, that's how gamblers think, a gambler believe that if they gamble with a lesser and high stake there is a great possibility of them winning than losing because of the safer odd they selected, most gamblers bet high when the win because their mindset is like, we are using the money we won to go back not our personal money and this will make them take more risk than they do before, it is normal for a gambler to behave because that's their reasoning.  
As a gambler you should never allow your self to be blinded by the winnings if you are to start chasing big profit from gambling it will take you out of the line, that’s why as a responsible gambler one need to have limit to what they have to gambler at all time.

If you focus mainly on what you can win you will notice that you will start wagering with above your bankroll especially when you see a game which looks convincing in your eyes and you think you can be able to win the game which their is no 100% sure game in the gambling industry we always try our luck and most times it goes against our predictions.

No matter how much you have won from gambling never allow yourself to be carried away by that, always stay with your principles anytime that big win want to come it will definitely come even without chasing the profit it can just happen.

The worst is that they do really able to make themselves that assuming that they are blind as if they arent seeing those things in front of them specially on the time that they are
making some losses on which they arent really that making themselves being wary and the worst is that there would really be those kind of denial that they could really be still be able to cope
up on what they have lost via with their next bet on which there would really be those kind of mindset that they would really be needing up to at least having that kind of assumptions
that they could win up and able to break even their loses. Gamblers should really be thinking about on having that kind of probabilities that they could possibly lose that big and
ended up on a disaster.

If someone is always going to be more interested in the potential profit they would win without really worrying much on the likelihood that they would lose money then such a gambler is destined to be chasing losses for failing to apply a good risk management...and this could be an element of someone new to the world  of gambling! Of course not to say this is only done by newbies but veterans can fall in this if greed gets the better of them.

That's one of the key things most gamblers fail to watch out for, how much you can afford to lose.

This whole thing of winning is based on luck, and I guess they try to stretch this luck by going all out without paying attention at how they are losing their money...but I guess at times this strategy can work for others ::)

know that any person who is into gambling always have a budget except that is someone that is not curious in gambling that will not be have a specific amount of money that it wants to spend in gambling, so it is good to map out money for gambling to know particular amount of money that you gamble with all you spend in any of your gambling so that whenever they lost come you will not regret it, today many people gambles without having a statistics or without having particular amount that they want to use is taking a gambling daily weekly and monthly, so if you don't know the particular amount that is supposed to use for her gambling daily and the weekly and monthly automatically you will be addicted in gambling very easy

In gambling can win a large amount of money that can change the life of any gambler, but the probability of this is negligible. Each of the gamblers hope that he will be lucky, that's why many gambling. No one knows who will be lucky next, but this lucky guy is sure to be found and this further fuels our interest in gambling. You can play gambling 10-20 years, but so to taste the taste of this sweet victory. The main thing that should understand every gambler - you can only play for money, losing which your financial situation will not change.

In some cases, the gambler's greed for more winnings pushes him to the bottom line. A gambler must set a limit on gambling. Again, this can be fatally negative for the gambler who gambles with the idea of a guaranteed win. Because they will think that their win is certain which will increase their bet amount as a result of losing a match can change their money drastically which can cause a big disaster for them. Above all I would also say that if one can keep himself gambling with control then big wins can come from him.

Every gambler is well aware of that fact and that's why most people who gamble are always not dependent on their gambling habits to feed and am just really to see or even hear that someone doesn't think about the risk that is involved in it before gambling. Before ever anyone start to gamble he is well aware of the risk thats is involved so getting the loses is actually not suppose to be something new and more every gambler knows that the loses are always more than the earnings.

I am somehow confused on your statement but let me try to breakdown on what you just mentioned.

First, the gambler who utilizes different strategies depending on the game does not give you a guaranteed/absolute win but it does increase the chances of you winning. For example, in Poker, if players employ different techniques (e.g. bluffing, etc.) then they may be able to turn the tide of the battle even with a weaker hand compared to others.

Second, a gambler that does not employ some kind of tactic or just bets in a "random way" may indeed lose money but this is not always the case. Let's take slots as an example- the only thing that you do there is to push the lever and pray that you win. No matter how much technique you put into it, the result may vary depending on your luck as it is irrelevant.

Lastly, I do agree with what you mentioned that in the expectations of gambling, it should always be a two-way street. This means that either result can be experienced by the average gambler no matter how lucky/unlucky they may be in a single run.

In conclusion, I do think that gamblers should have a reasonable expectation when they delve into this activity. There is nothing absolute nor guarantee in this game- it's either you win or you lose; and the steps that you take after such result will determine your success/lost in the long run.

It’s the common way of the approach to the gambling site,not the experienced or fresh gambler.The ultimate aim of the gambler will be the winning of the dollars from the gambling.Some ready to spend time on gambling,most of them use to judge their luck in the gambling site.Many gamblers who want to make the big win was playing the random betting in the gambling should be avoided.Even after the many loss in the gambling site,the random betting way of approach by the gamblers was not changeable by the gamblers.The gamblers who loss their money in gambling should not target the loss in future game.


I am somehow confused on your statement but let me try to breakdown on what you just mentioned.

First, the gambler who utilizes different strategies depending on the game does not give you a guaranteed/absolute win but it does increase the chances of you winning. For example, in Poker, if players employ different techniques (e.g. bluffing, etc.) then they may be able to turn the tide of the battle even with a weaker hand compared to others.

Second, a gambler that does not employ some kind of tactic or just bets in a "random way" may indeed lose money but this is not always the case. Let's take slots as an example- the only thing that you do there is to push the lever and pray that you win. No matter how much technique you put into it, the result may vary depending on your luck as it is irrelevant.

Lastly, I do agree with what you mentioned that in the expectations of gambling, it should always be a two-way street. This means that either result can be experienced by the average gambler no matter how lucky/unlucky they may be in a single run.

In conclusion, I do think that gamblers should have a reasonable expectation when they delve into this activity. There is nothing absolute nor guarantee in this game- it's either you win or you lose; and the steps that you take after such result will determine your success/lost in the long run.

The gambler who want yo make the big win in the gambling should employee their strategy in the gambling site.The guarantee or absolute winning was not the possible in the gambling site.The gambler should note down their strategy in the separate note.Because it will help the gambler to make use of the gambling notes in separate not for the future game in gambling site.

OP, I vividly understand you, but gamblers don't think this way, note the idea of a gambler is to win despite that most of them know that losing is inevitable in gambling, some gamblers see winning to be a constant thing in gambling but that's is high level of fallacy, gambling has principles and these principles must come to play, it is normal for a good gambler to have it in mind that gambling is not a certain event so that when you gamble, your expectation shouldn't be one sided, you should reason in different direction which is the aspect of failing to retain your stake or getting your stake back with profits attached.

The gambler get into the gambling in the way of getting the winning dollars in the gambling site.The gambler should ready to face the gambling loss when they have the negative side of game.The gambling doesn’t have the constant win or loss in the game,the gambler should ready to face it.The gambler who use the strategy to win the game will able to win the good money in the gambling.The gambler who use to bet in the random way without any stable game will loss the funds at the end.Many gamblers will do this mistake in the betting,the expectation in the gambling should be accepted in both the positive and negative way.

Of course, however and whoever wants to engage in gambling then obviously they must prepare themselves for the two possibilities that will definitely occur at the end of the session, not only victory but also the possibility of defeat cannot be avoided, this is gambling which always runs randomly and without certainty, but most gamblers do not look at the negative side or the risk, They only see in terms of the chances of winning in the sense of putting hope and belief that by gambling they will get a lot of money, even though on the other hand gambling is not created for that, this is nothing more than a game of chance which means that there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee anything at the end of the session, especially the victory they always expect. If they come with the right understanding then I honestly do not believe they will dare to do some careless actions such as chasing victory or applying greed, because by understanding that gambling is a probability activity it already explains that everything there is nothing more than a game of "possibility", meaning you can win or lose.


Honestly on the other hand I never believe in strategies that can be applied to gambling, I understand that sports betting imposes a gambler to apply skills if they have knowledge and indeed it can increase the chances of winning, but isn't the possibility of risk still remains? After all, the name of gambling is always inseparable from the name of risk, all gamblers can win but not all gamblers can control and minimize the risk of losing.

Most gamblers have no plan and they are just gambling to win small change to eat and buy some clothes and that is all they want. The statement " had I know" is a statement of greedy. And that is irresponsible gambler because a responsible gambler calculate his games before playing them so any amount he wins, he is satisfied with it.

If a gambler win $1k and said that he would have stake higher amount to win bigger amount then that gambler is an addicted gambler that play game without plan.

In some cases, the gambler's greed for more winnings pushes him to the bottom line. A gambler must set a limit on gambling. Again, this can be fatally negative for the gambler who gambles with the idea of a guaranteed win. Because they will think that their win is certain which will increase their bet amount as a result of losing a match can change their money drastically which can cause a big disaster for them. Above all I would also say that if one can keep himself gambling with control then big wins can come from him.
Very often gamblers will set a limit to the amount of money they are willing to lose during a session, and while that is the correct decision to take, at the same time very few gamblers choose to set a limit for their profits as well.

So when they begin their session and everything goes according to their desires instead of being happy for their good fortune and stop gambling, they keep doing so hoping for an even bigger win and when their luck turns against them and begin to lose they get desperate and take the irrational decision to keep going even when they are now losing money, and that is how we end up with those unbelievable stories of gamblers that were doing well and then lost all the money they had at a casino in a single night.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

Contentment is also a factor that affects gamblers because no matter any amount they win they tend to find more rather than being contented and be happy that they didn't lose their money and this makes some gamblers become addictive because when you are not always comfortable with your winnings then actually you are creating room for addiction in the sense that while you are trying to win big that's how you keep losing and trying to recover the money you've lost already but yet keeps on getting into more losses so not being contented especially after a win is not good as a gambler

If a gambler spends his casino winnings on clothes and other things, then he not only has a good plan, but also puts it into action. Someone who does not have any plan is likely to spend all his money on gambling and can not leave the game when his deposit exceeds the original. Almost any gambler has a desire to bet more than his risk management allows, but compliance with risk management in gambling is very important.

of the majority of gamblers in this world, only a small portion are able to apply win limits or loss limits and the rest will ignore the issue of limiting losses but will focus on the wins they want to get and conditions like this are very normal, in fact most people will not be surprised by this case like this.

and the case you say is also one of the conditions where all gamblers have felt that when they win they feel happy and happy and when they lose they regret it and behind the feeling of happiness there is a greedy nature that emerges which encourages them to continue gambling with the assumption that they want to get a bigger win and behind it is regret. there is a high level of emotional revenge wanting to take back the money that has been lost.
things like this must be paid attention to, even though it is difficult to set limits regarding wins and losses, we must believe that these limits will save us from bad impacts when gambling.

No, gamblers are not only ambitious to be able to make small change just to eat and buy clothes, but they are ambitious to make big wins or jackpots to change lives and improve the economy.
If only the ambition was only about small change to eat then there would be no cases of gambling addiction, no cases of gamblers experiencing consecutive losses and recovering losses and no gamblers losing certain amount of money from winnings.
Just look, all these problems are caused because the gamblers ambitions and hopes for gambling are so excessive and they cannot accept every small win and will always try to produce bigger win.
If we talk in reality, this is all what every gambler really experiences and does.

Not addicted but because of greed, they are addicted to gambling but the winning amount of $1k is quite large amount, if an addict gets this win it will definitely attract some to have fun such as parties at entertainment venues or so on.
Every gambler will have different characteristics so it cannot be said to be related to planning.

So as a gambler, the amount of money that we gamble on the gambling platform that we will be playing on should be limited from the beginning, and it should also be exact so that when we lose, there is no reason to stay for a long time. And if we see that we are winning, of course we should stop when we have a winning gambling jackpot.

As in general, greed will lead us into suffering, but I can't say that for sure because we could have won even bigger, it's just that most people regret doing it, when they should have made a profit they didn't get a penny, so it's better to stop and enjoy the winnings, don't be lulled by large amounts

Yes, there should be an exact amount we hold on to in our gambling life it shouldn't be a staggering amount so that when we exhausted that exact amount  for the day we will be prompt to leave without further hesitation. What makes some gamblers spend much time all day gambling is because there is no exact or specific amount on ground they have agreed with for gambling and by this they gamble without control.

This is the reason why most of the gamblers don’t know when to stop because greed is what makes them enter gambling.

Casinos do not really have to do anything, as gamblers do a very good job on their own and make themselves believe they have a chance at beating casinos at their own game, something that could indeed happen but that it is very unlikely.

I would think that the idea of beating the casinos is not only attractive for the money they could supposedly get, but it is also attractive as people love stories about the underdog beating the favorite, we see all this time on sports, and I suppose many gamblers see themselves in that light and want to beat the casinos in order to emulate those stories.

It was their fault that they could not be responsible for their gambling and instead used a lot of money to gamble where, in the end, they lost all the money. That is why before we start gambling, we must know our financial limits and how much money we can afford so that we will not gamble excessively. We have to look at the risk of losing money, which can increase, especially if we use a lot of money to gamble. Many gamblers have had the experience of losing a lot of money so we don't need to follow what they do because we are responsible for the money we use to gamble.

I totally agree with that. And it's not just a gambler's problem, it's society's problem in this era. It's difficult to be contented with so much happening in the world.

Gamblers, on the other hand, are mostly the victims of this. One wins x1000 and he thinks it's still not enough. Some also won but want the gambling site to cover the transaction fees too so they gamble more to win that little amount which most of the time doesn't end well.
There are those who will feel that they are lucky on that day so they keep on playing waiting for more to win but I seriously doubt a  win will happen again after a win. The chances of winning become lower and lower whenever we go green. I've seen that a lot of times and there's not strategy to stop it. We may as well just lose it all and see if another big multiplier will come for us.
Then, get the bonuses from rakebacks, monthly, and weekly from all the wagered amount.

Budgetting is a hard financial lesson I've learned. A strict limit that respects your financial health while allowing you the thrill of the gamble is vital, in my opinion.

I've felt unchecked gambling regret. Lost control and money are both concerns. I learned slowly that gambling is about fun, not winning. Embracing safe gambling means enjoying the trip without jeopardizing your finances.

Fun gambling involves accepting risks without being overwhelmed by them. I recommend betting money you're comfortable with like a show ticket. This has made gambling fun and guilt-free. Take charge, enjoy the moment, and say, "Thats my limit for today." Enjoy gambling without regret with this approach.

Yes, budgeting is indeed difficult to learn but that is what we have to do to be able to allocate funds for gambling. We cannot use too much money just for gambling while we forget to allocate funds for other needs.

Many of us regret the consequences of uncontrolled gambling but few are willing to anticipate that it will not continue. When playing gambling, we really have to have self-control and money so that we don't gamble excessively. It can still give us pleasure in enjoying gambling as entertainment. We must realize that gambling is about fun so we don't gamble too much.

Fun gambling means we can accept whatever risks we will accept. And for this reason, we only need to use the money we can afford so that we won't regret it if we lose when gambling. We also won't gamble too often because gambling is just like other entertaining activities that we don't use too often.

I totally agree with that. And it's not just a gambler's problem, it's society's problem in this era. It's difficult to be contented with so much happening in the world.

~snip~
Humans have an innate attitude of dissatisfaction with what they get and every human being will always have ambition that truly never stops, even though they have succeeded in achieving all that, there will always be desire to get bigger things.
In cases like this it will be difficult for them to have the right approach when becoming gambler because what they want is satisfaction or to be able to have better success.
We can see it in how every gambler has greedy attitude towards the winnings they have achieved, the gambler will try to get bigger win and set it as target that must be achieved.
But in the end, when the target has been achieved, they feel less satisfied and there is desire to get more, this is one of the reasons why many gamblers experience complicated problems due to gambling.

A wise and responsible gambler will know how they should make decisions without involving desires that are impossible to have, but there are only few gamblers like this.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The moment he staked for 5K$ , he would have lost. Yes, it's true because you never know by increasing the amount, the luck may have not favoured him and what if he have lost 5K$ or more.

The problem with the gamblers is that they are never satisfied with their achievements. Yes, if someone loses in gambling, it is their right to become a bit sad and wish he could have won if the luck was at his side but then those who are the winners in gambling are also dissatisfied that if they had put more money, they could have earned more money. How strange is that?

It seems like no one is being happy, the one who loses in gambling and the one who has won in gambling, both seem to be complaining. They don't understand that gambling is not a quick rich scheme sort of thing.

It is only greed that will make someone to play game with $1k and after wining he started thinking is why he didn't play with $5k. The truth is that when people win they think why they didn't play with a higher amount but when they loose they become excited and happy because they didn't play the game according to how they wanted , otherwise they could have loss. But I think wether you win big or small, there is a need to always maintain playing gamble with what you can afford to lose.

There will be less activities in casinos if all gamblers think more about how much they are willing to lose than win, many gamblers won't be addicted while gambling, when will keep to their time and walk out of a casino when the time is up, but the problem is not everyone thinks for themselves.

The rulers manipulating his people knew how weak his people are in terms of reasoning, it's also why some people follows their government with whatever they throw at them, like a cat been lured with a fried meat, they just follow like zombies, it's also why many people don't believe in Bitcoin unless their government tell them to start buying.

The mind of human are not always as strong, some can't even make decisions on their own, they always want someone to give them the calling, unfortunately you can't force people, even in this gambling space, almost all gamblers don't think before they gamble.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.
It is only greed that will make someone to play game with $1k and after wining he started thinking is why he didn't play with $5k. The truth is that when people win they think why they didn't play with a higher amount but when dey loose they become excited and happy because they didn't play the game according to how they wanted , otherwise they could have loss. But I sudjest wether you win big or small there is a need to always maintain playing gamble with what you can afford to lose.
Greed is an enemy to any profit seeker in any line of business and not just in gambling alone do gamblers experience greed emanating in their gambling decisions which is logical to say that any gambler that has been able to control or conquer his greed and feel contented with every amount of win he makes from his bet such a dude has invariably conquered his losing streaks rate. Luck to repeat a win instantly after another win has just been gotten is very hard to happen to a gambler but as greed sets in the mind of the gambler all reality to be considered that he can lose it all get submerged by that greed not until all is lost.

Those kind of thoughts are very common and we see them all the time on the forum, but people need to understand that they are taking this on the wrong way, even the few professional gamblers out there do not win all the time, so they cannot rely on being lucky to increase their profits, instead they are as consistent as they can be on their bets to produce the profits they want.

So regretting the decision to not increase your stake once you won your bet is not only a mistake but it is useless as well, since there is no way to know beforehand for sure you were winning that bet anyway.

That's why, as gamblers, we must be able to prevent our greed from getting bigger so that we don't fall deeper into gambling. Only by controlling ourselves and others can we prevent our greed from growing so we will not experience even greater money losses. We can be lucky and win but no longer need to gamble and let luck come to us. By controlling ourselves, we can do that so that there is no disappointment because we keep hoping for luck to come. Greed will always be there every time we gamble, but we can prevent it from getting bigger, and when we can prevent it, we can enjoy gambling well and won't be provoked into greed. We can stop ourselves when we win and will not be greedy in hoping for another big win.

There are many things that need to be put into consideration.

We can also make money from betting but when we are doing it in a way that we are not ought to behave, this could cause a big problem to our mental health. Many of us are always talking about how much we have earned from gambling but we do make the mistakes of thinking about the amount we have lost. Some gamblers do not even care on their loses, they always want to show the world there winnings so that it will make people think that they are professional gamblers and do not incur loses.

You have made very important point here. Greed is the problem of most gamblers with me inclusive. Instead of focusing on the risk one is taking like the OP suggested, many people focus on how much they want to win. This is the reason some people add more games to their selection when the odd is not as big as they expect, most times it is the games they add that will spoil the bet. Assuming the focus is on the risk, it becomes easier to set winning expectations within reasonable limits.

And obviously with this kind of wrong mindset and understanding it is very difficult for them to be able to apply or focus themselves and their minds on risk management, so simply put, there will be no better results in the gambling they do if they always apply greed and there is only one word they always find at the end of the session which is "regret".

I guess it is a normal thing to have expectancy of profit especially in gambling, also it is not automatically greed. However if you desire of being profitable in the long run we should focus more with preventive measures concerning loss.Having both ideologies of winning and not losing that much is a difficult thing. Higher risk means higher reward, indeed. However there are high profitable games such as with parlays in sportsbetting wherein you can engage less amount that what's ideal due to high odds. Winning might have a low success rate however even if you lose, at least it would be a tolerable amount to majority of gamblers who practice such thing over years. My idea is lack of consistency in gambling. If you won't be winning consistently then same thing will go with losing, right? If you will prioritize aticipating the worse outcome, things won"t be as tough as it is with gambling.

And i would believe that focusing on winning is much more higher of thinking on rather than on having those loses. Only a few of course would really be that mindful about on the losses that they could
possibly be able to make on which there's no way that you wouldnt really be having these kind of assumptions and thinking on the time that you do make some gambling.
I could say that it isnt really that bad for you to think off about those things on which the important thing on here is that you should really know on having that moderation
and having that kind of treatment on which it is really just that normal to have those outcomes, on which these things wont really be making you to be that impulsive.

If they have experienced loss, they should leave gambling for a while to calm their minds due to the loss they experienced while gambling. We also cannot play gambling continuously, which will clearly affect our financial condition, and even though we can make money from gambling, it is still not worth continuing if we have experienced loss in gambling several times. Many gamblers continue to think about their losses, so they still want to gamble, which could result in even bigger losses. But if they no longer care about their losses, it will only be a matter of time before they run out of money, and it will be difficult to recover their losses.

We have to overcome the problem of greed so that it doesn't get big because winning the gambling game can make us greedy, and when it gets big, we will find it difficult to control it and will only follow that greed to continue gambling. We must be able to continuously practice self-control to avoid greed and not be tempted to continue gambling after winning. We will try to stop gambling activities before a bigger temptation comes immediately. We can not focus on recovering our loss in gambling because that will not be easy, and we may get more losses if we try.

In my experience most people go way beyond what we can safely call an optimistic attitude, since they do not even consider the possibility of failure at all, so if they think they can win at gambling they do not even think about the possibility of this not happening.

Which is why they are so hurt when they actually lose, as they cannot understand how something they wanted desperately not only did not happen, but they had to suffer the opposite outcome and they lost money instead.

You are in line with the Op's complaints or writeup, the greed in a gambler can cause him too many pains on the long run. Not being able to accept what they've got. Regretting why they didn't wager a bigger amount when there is a win. Those things don't help the gambler emotionally. Meaning that the gambler will never stay happy. What is most crucial as a gambler is staying contented. Those who tend to wager high amount more than they are able to lose, due to greed, feel the pains when the game doesn't play in their favor. Hence, the urge to try again with a higher amount begin to compile in the gambler's mind. Which isn't right. Such behavior as a gambler finishes the player's money really quick. Since a bit of satisfaction is not found in the gambler's mind, it'll be hard for him to determine how much he may be losing. All his mindset is on the winning potentials.

Acceptance is the key but not all would really be having those kind of thoughts in mind on which they are reatlly that tending to secure out and minding about having those tons of wins rather than on loses. Well, this is a common approach on the time we do gamble is that we would really be doing our very best to win up the game without even trying out to realize that losing chances is way more than with winning and this is something that should really be that really be that ideal that you should be wary at least the reality of gambling.You cant win anytime and dont tend to count
into those amounts that you didnt even been able to win up. This is something a very common behavior.

Gamble for fun and dont gamble because you are aiming for some winnings and this is something that would really be making yourself that being too delusional
and hopeful which would causing into possible problems later on.

You're correct also why will you be thinking about losing when you know there's something called the power of mindset, if your mindset is always about lost, you'll lose and not win therefore to increase your chances of winning we have to be thinking positive all the time but as you're having a positive mindset, it shouldn't make you ignore the possibility that you can lose the money that you're staking therefore it shouldn't be a large amount that you can forget if you lost it.

Focusing on negative isn't good energy so I won't advice gamblers to focus on how much he might lose but he should be aware of it and do things that'll make the lost less painful. Staking only smaller amounts is a good way to reduce the amount of money you are going to lose and also not to over gamble by betting on many games. Also not chasing our losses will help reduce how much we are going to lose.

We can have an optimistic attitude, but we have to realize that we cannot be too optimistic when playing gambling because gambling is full of uncertainty, so we can only use it as entertainment. But if we are optimistic in our work, it can give us the results we want, and that is different from gambling, where if we focus on recovering from losses, we will never be able to recover from those losses because it is a difficult thing. We will only experience losses from gambling and it will increase more and more.

They should learn to accept their defeat and try to end the gambling game so they don't experience more losses. Just let other people continue gambling, but we must be able to prevent other losses by always limiting our gambling activities.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.
this is why it is called gambling. It's always not an ideal situation else it wouldn't be called gambling. People would normally want their good prediction to pay off and it's a very normal statement among most gamblers whenever they used an amount that's small to gamble and the game came out successful to always wish they staked with an higher amount of money.

The reality is that if you placed a bet with an higher amount, their is every possibility that you could win or not but every gambler is not gambling just because he is hoping to loose. People gamble because they want to win and that's the essence for such a statement when they placed a bet with a smaller amount.

I totally agree with that. And it's not just a gambler's problem, it's society's problem in this era. It's difficult to be contented with so much happening in the world.

~snip~
Humans have an innate attitude of dissatisfaction with what they get and every human being will always have ambition that truly never stops, even though they have succeeded in achieving all that, there will always be desire to get bigger things.
In cases like this it will be difficult for them to have the right approach when becoming gambler because what they want is satisfaction or to be able to have better success.
We can see it in how every gambler has greedy attitude towards the winnings they have achieved, the gambler will try to get bigger win and set it as target that must be achieved.
But in the end, when the target has been achieved, they feel less satisfied and there is desire to get more, this is one of the reasons why many gamblers experience complicated problems due to gambling.

A wise and responsible gambler will know how they should make decisions without involving desires that are impossible to have, but there are only few gamblers like this.

This is true and I had been unwise just hours ago. I won a good bonus round in slots (Jade Fate of Twist Gaming) I was actually surprised because that's the first time I played that game. After that, my instincts tell me to get out because it's the planned amount where I usually withdraw. But I got curious if I was lucky in that game (in short I got greedy) so I continued playing after an hour of rest. Sadly, the ending is not what every gambler likes, it's a losing game. The bonus came just one more time but it didn't give enough to say I am back with my profits. I chased all the losses and then lose more in the process.
This is an example of an attitude of dissatisfaction and I know it when the game is over. Now, it's all regret that I feel and revenge is now clouding my mind. But, I controlled myself and never deposited one more time. I will be back to play that game but not tonight or the next day. Maybe 3 days of rest when I get a budget again.
The perk is I had fun, it surely was fun waiting for that bonus round but it's too rare, like once for every 200 rounds which could you to lose a heck of money before you get it back. It's not easy to be a wise gambler, there's always that "one more bet" that we traditionally have and it cannot be stopped.

That is the natural tendency for people to focus more on the potential for winning rather than the possibility of losing when engaging in gambling activities. ⁤⁤Many people may be more optimistic about their chances of success, which can lead to a mindset primarily focused on the potential rewards rather than the risks involved.

⁤It's understandable to be optimistic and hopeful about winning, but being mindful of the potential outcomes, including losses, can help gamblers make more informed decisions and set realistic expectations. ⁤⁤Moderation and self-control are key factors in maintaining a healthy approach to gambling. ⁤⁤Understanding that losses are a normal part of the gambling experience can help prevent impulsive behavior and excessive risk-taking. ⁤⁤It's about finding a healthy balance between optimism and realism that ensures the enjoyment of gambling in which is not overshadowed by the negative impacts of excessive risk-taking or addiction.
In my experience most people go way beyond what we can safely call an optimistic attitude, since they do not even consider the possibility of failure at all, so if they think they can win at gambling they do not even think about the possibility of this not happening.

Which is why they are so hurt when they actually lose, as they cannot understand how something they wanted desperately not only did not happen, but they had to suffer the opposite outcome and they lost money instead.
Losing is not in their mind but winning. So if when they win during their first bet, mostly it happens to double the amount thinking they could still win the next round. Being careless with our decisions will also lead to emptying our pockets and even losing more. Optimism is good in other areas but in gambling, that ain't work well as this will also be a reason why most gamblers lose their money. Knowing enough is somewhat needed in gambling and having this mindset helps us save from keeping our winning prize intact or at least we go home with it, not like we go home empty. Because we can't assume that all day we are too lucky, winning is just a bonus.

Going to online or offline casino with a mood of focusing how much I would lose right now also isnt the best attitude towards gambling. Such person already program themselves on a loss, on a fail, on a negative. This might trigger doing ridiculous bets after some time so as not to suffer and think about loosing anymore. Gambler should better focus on a process, then be distracted by thinking how much he would lose or win right now or today.

That good, but forget about whether you can get lucky second time because luck will never come according to what you expect.
When you win, exit the game and spend some money then leave the gambling site.
This will make you feel much more satisfied than thinking about going back to playing and trying your luck again which you obviously won't be able to get, you have to be smart in making decisions so you don't lose what you have got.
What more, it is slot game where it is clear that slot games are games that can only be won with luck, you also have to be able to think that if it is the first game you play, then the win is beginner win.
When deciding to come back, I would say that the thing that will definitely happen is defeat and that will definitely happen, you might think that you can win again second time but the system says no.
They have random algorithm but allow gamblers to have greater percentage of losses, if after winning spin occurs then just see that there will only be defeat after defeat waiting.
A little advice when you win game, if you still want to continue playing, you can move to another game or another provider, this will make it possible to increase your chances of winning.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

Everyone is talking about a good money manager, and it really needs to be respected. But how many people really adhere to this rule: spend only the amount on bets or investments, the loss of which will not affect their daily needs. But I think that every person has a thought in their head: "what if I put everything I have now? after all, I can win a lot of money." This is greed and excitement, and of course you can't go along with this desire.

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

Op is completely right, I myself could remember many a time when I usually-- instead of being happy I won a bet, I become regretful rather, simply because what or the amount I staked on the game was small, I start wishing that I had staked a higher amount.
Meanwhile, when I stake a very small amount of money and lose the bet, I am always happy because the amount of money I staked on the game was small, so, I didnt lose much.

What I actually have to say is that, greed is something or an emotion that is natural in every man, we individually learn to surpress our greed, by not allowing it to over shadow us and bi-cloud our sense of reasoning.
It is always very important for us to always endeavor to play gambling with the amount of money we can comfortably lose, this is to avoid getting ourselves into unnecessary financial issues.

Indeed, there is a large percentage of people among the players who do not understand what to strive for in life at all, and this is very strange! When such people are asked: "what will you do with a big win if you get lucky in gambling?"
 These guys don't know what to answer. And I absolutely do not understand how you can treat your life like this - to be like a boat that is being carried by the ocean. You need to have specific goals and a specific plan in life. And if someone plays without a goal, then he will not be able to come to any result.

We can have an optimistic attitude, but we have to realize that we cannot be too optimistic when playing gambling because gambling is full of uncertainty, so we can only use it as entertainment. But if we are optimistic in our work, it can give us the results we want, and that is different from gambling, where if we focus on recovering from losses, we will never be able to recover from those losses because it is a difficult thing. We will only experience losses from gambling and it will increase more and more.

They should learn to accept their defeat and try to end the gambling game so they don't experience more losses. Just let other people continue gambling, but we must be able to prevent other losses by always limiting our gambling activities.
Your purported gambling optimism? It is a thin mask of delusion. The truth is that gambling is a trap hidden behind flashy lights rather than a friend. You mention limiting your activities, but let's be clear: the only strategy that works is to not play

Give up and concede? Yes, but why not take it a step farther and stay off the battlefield entirely? We are here to shape our futures via conscious activity, not to dance with fate. Making decisions that don't jeopardize our future is key. They must awaken, recognize the casino for what it is—a wasteland devoid of dreams and hopes—and channel their optimism toward actual labor and objectives

You're correct also why will you be thinking about losing when you know there's something called the power of mindset, if your mindset is always about lost, you'll lose and not win therefore to increase your chances of winning we have to be thinking positive all the time but as you're having a positive mindset, it shouldn't make you ignore the possibility that you can lose the money that you're staking therefore it shouldn't be a large amount that you can forget if you lost it.

We agree that optimism is necessary, even in gambling. It's just that, one must know the limits so as not to make something that becomes a blunder. optimism is good, at least to raise our self-confidence. especially, if we bet on sports betting. without optimism, doubt will only make us often lose direction in assessment, research, analysis and choosing bets. referring to one of the points you said, I agree that if we chase losses it will only bring other problems. for example, our emotions are uncontrollable and result in feelings of anger to always target winning to recover losses. however, it doesn't always have to be that specific. there are also some gamblers, who are lucky to recover their luck and even get fantastic wins. so, as you said, gambling is full of uncertainty. however, that uncertainty does not always result in something bad. well, this is what is unique about gambling. where we cannot predict with certainty every gambling session, even if someone has the knowledge resources related to gambling that someone is good at. this is easy to say, but difficult in practice. why, yeah, because it involves feelings, emotions and desires, apart from the idea of ​​entertainment and having fun.


Focusing on negative isn't good energy so I won't advice gamblers to focus on how much he might lose but he should be aware of it and do things that'll make the lost less painful. Staking only smaller amounts is a good way to reduce the amount of money you are going to lose and also not to over gamble by betting on many games. Also not chasing our losses will help reduce how much we are going to lose.

Losing is a certain thing, and winning is something we look for and want in gambling. the point is, it is very important for both beginners and seasoned gamblers to be aware of the risks of gambling.

I really agree with your gambling thoughts. Gambling is entertainment, not a source of revenue. Too often, people get caught up in great successes and end themselves chasing losses. Gambling should be a hobby, I've learned. Limit yourself. I constantly advise friends to gamble within their means. Instead of a frantic quest of winning, this perspective makes the encounter joyful. The odds are usually against us. Understanding that the house always has an edge can avert many heartaches

Gamble for fun and socializing, but set reasonable goals. Since it's a game of chance, stop playing when it gets boring

Not gambling is indeed a successful strategy so that people don't lose any money and can use their money for other things, including their daily needs. This will make it easier for them to manage their money well and meet all their needs because if they use their money to gamble, it is feared that they could experience even more losses, especially if they cannot control themselves well.

By not gambling, we have avoided the possibility of losing from gambling and can also save money for other things. Moreover, there is uncertainty about when we can win the gambling game, so if we don't gamble, we will be saved from losing the money. And yes, channeling optimism into work makes it more likely for us to work well and earn income.

This is one of the best approaches in gambling because by having this approach we will be able to set limits that are truly in accordance with what every gambler should do so that in the future we can minimize quite disappointing failures.
Approach I have now is to be able to make gambling just place to have fun by accepting all the results even if it means losing money and being able to control myself over every result that occurs, whether it win or loss, everything will be pleasant thing.
Sometimes people out there have too much ambition and desire in gambling, they are even too optimistic about some achievements which are not easy to get, they can get them but they don't necessarily match existing expectations.
After all, this is gambling where the only thing that is guaranteed to be successful is the casino or provider, so we as gamblers must be able to be aware of all this so that we can think carefully about what we should do in the future.
With this understanding, we can avoid unreasonable thought patterns such as enriching ourselves, trying to get the jackpot and we will be able to have good limits and self-control because we really understand how gambling actually works.

This can only happen if a gambler gambles with a budget and never goes beyond it, and for that to happen, one needs to be disciplined and have a responsible nature because you might lose the budget that you have allocated for a week or a month in a single day sometimes, that is also irresponsible though, and then if you try and recover your losses, you will probably lose way more than what you had initially allocated as your gambling budget.

So, if a person has a budget and strictly sticks to it, they will never chase their losses and they will stop right after they have exhausted their gambling bankroll. If one gambles without a budget, they will most likely chase their losses and make more deposits after losing the initial balance.

I used to be that person but the emotions of the game and the rage can make you go much further than predicted and can make one in a single moment of weakness go havoc and lose much more than he conserved while being a conservative and sticking to it.I should not talk as it is the first day for me that I am not opening a single casino in my browser and dealing with other things.One day is nothing but it shows that I want to stay away from gambling and most likely this time I will fully realize it because I have lost so much in slots that coming back to them again is pure nonsense.

If gambling is that easy every gambler will be rich right now, some even knew how hard it is to win in gambling, yet they will still choose to risk a lot on gambling, this is why I don't feel pity for any gamblers that get rekt.

If all we think about is the possible losses, I don't think it will make us responsible gamblers. It's not enough to only concentrate on our losses; we also need to think about things like managing our bankroll and setting limits.
Moreover, if we as gamblers only focus on the possible losses, we could miss other crucial aspects of responsible gambling, such exercising self control and getting treatment when necessary if we suspect we could develop a gambling addiction.

We gamble primarily for the sake of winning, so I believe that the majority of gamblers are only concerned with their winnings. We tend to focus more on the possible reward than the danger involved when we have the opportunity of winning huge amounts of money since it can be thrilling and enticing.

Yes, it's true that only gamblers who have limits can stop if the money they set has run out, and this discipline is the main key for someone to be able to allocate their time and expenses as well as possible and not only think about gambling which may not necessarily give us our profits either. We have to think about the losses we will experience before thinking about making a profit. Apart from that, if we are not disciplined in applying limits then we will experience losses that we cannot afford so we will not be able to control ourselves to immediately recover from these losses.

That has become a very important and mandatory part because if we are able to do it by obeying the rules that we make ourselves we will not experience losses beyond our capabilities, we will only experience losses from the funds we can afford to lose.
So we don't try to chase losses and yes if someone who gambles does not set a limit, they have no time limit to stop and may exceed the limit.

It is important that gamblers apply those concepts not only when they are gambling but to all aspects of their lives as well, after all having a gambling budget is a good move, but if that is the only instance in which you use a budget then it is likely that you will go over it several times.

But if instead you use a budget for all your expenses, then it is more likely that you will respect the one you use to gamble and avoid a great deal of problems which could appear if you did not do so.

Mostly we could easily lose a huge amount of money especially if we lose control of our emotions most of the time if we get greedy that is the time when we could lose a huge amount of money, we always get that feeling most of the time when we win a huge amount or sometimes its a multiplier then we regret doing low bet instead of putting a huge bet but at the same time it was an amount that we are not comfortable to bet because its a huge amount of money and losing that bet could be a huge lose as well, It is pretty normal for sure.

I mean it is just emotions that we are getting that is why we are losing focus, for sure we could get a huge profit if we are going to bet huge as well but can we handle the risk of that If you can't fight the emotion you could easily end up losing in the end because you're just betting out of your emotion not really on your strategy, We needed to be contented, on your winnings and not be greedy on our bets, because if we get greedy that is the time that we lose money.

Well I think this is you looking at the whole mindset thing from a very different perspective and that's why your idea about it differs from that which some persons may try to put out as the mindset ideas, if you are of the opinion that your mindset has no role to play with how well you win a bet, it's not a very bad idea neither is it a perfect one too but then it should be known that in almost everything we do you need a certain idea and mindset to be able to get through such.

With betting it mustn't necessarily be that you thinking that you will win makes you a winner but your mindset have got other areas it can affect and not only your anticipatory aspect of your mind. Having a winning mindset could influence the kind of strategy you will employ in gambling which is beyond just anticipation. You just can't anticipate alone and think that's all that should be for you to win, a winning mindset will employ strategies to. Ring to reality the wins but then it isn't a guarantee but it has got a whole lot to do with you actually winning at the end of the day. Have a winning mindset and employ a winning strategy and you will see your wins surpass your losses.

This can only happen if a gambler gambles with a budget and never goes beyond it, and for that to happen, one needs to be disciplined and have a responsible nature because you might lose the budget that you have allocated for a week or a month in a single day sometimes, that is also irresponsible though, and then if you try and recover your losses, you will probably lose way more than what you had initially allocated as your gambling budget.

So, if a person has a budget and strictly sticks to it, they will never chase their losses and they will stop right after they have exhausted their gambling bankroll. If one gambles without a budget, they will most likely chase their losses and make more deposits after losing the initial balance.
A wise gambler will never use gambling too excessive, even if he win the money from gambling. They already have limits in gambling so they will not gamble excessively they want to avoid their losses that could increase at any time. A wise gambler will have a responsibility in gambling because they don't want gambling influenced them and make them gamble all the time, that can cause them experience losses that they cannot accept. He will focus on preventing big losses by always limiting the use of money for gambling so that he will not experience big losses.

That's why every gambler must allocating some funds for gambling and always stick to that because that's the only thing they can do to avoid loss after loss which can come at any time. He also will not chase his losses and immediately stop his gambling activities once he feels like he has gambled enough.

Indeed, there is a large percentage of people among the players who do not understand what to strive for in life at all, and this is very strange! When such people are asked: "what will you do with a big win if you get lucky in gambling?"
 These guys don't know what to answer. And I absolutely do not understand how you can treat your life like this - to be like a boat that is being carried by the ocean. You need to have specific goals and a specific plan in life. And if someone plays without a goal, then he will not be able to come to any result.
I would agree with that but I'd like to add that if these people know what to strive for or get on with their life then they're probably aren't gambling right now, they'd be in my opinion doing something more productive that's going to improve their individuality and their finances. If you really want to not lose anything in gambling, try not gambling at all and see how much money you can spend on other things that would benefit you in the long run but if you really can't stop your nature of gambling, then it's probably a really good idea if you try to make your gambling experience limited in as many aspects of it as you can do like limiting your bankroll, your gameplay time and your days of gambling per month or week, that way you're really losing less money but still like to gain some wins that would make you more happier.

I agree, it turns out that the time, effort and money that such people spend on gambling could bring them some unexpected result.
I recently discovered that many things can produce very promising and unexpected results, and the idea that we can predict everything in our lives is absolutely wrong.

Therefore, it is better not to abuse gambling, but to look for or create other opportunities.

Often people do not think about the possible losses. Gambling is a dangerous thing, and often serious losses of money occur due to excessive gambling. However, you should try to be aware of each of your bets and do not act impulsively. And try to calculate the size of the winnings, otherwise a large number of small losses can easily overlap one large winnings

It's better to focus on how to win and be positive for it helps to see better choices while you are already in a situation.
I do not agree with this. I am gambling and I have friends that are gambling. We focus on winning and we gamble often but we lose more. The more most gamblers focus on winning, the more the house will earn money from them. We have advised ourselves not to use money that can affect our feelings to gamble which is the right advise. That advice alone is because we also focus on the fact that we are losing.
Exactly. While some people believe that focus on the wins on makes them make wrong decisions during their gambling activities, some other persons believe that it help them strategize properly. And actually proper strategy is a very nice way to carry out a gambling activity as it greatly improves our winning chances and lowers our chances of losing.
Like I always say the drive every gambler has is different for each individual but the catch is to make sure you don't  have the wrong choice of drive which can lead you into making wrong decisions or bad habits which can lead you into addiction.

Honestly, if all gamblers focus on how much they may lose they will all be a responsible gambler, many cares only about how much they may win, which is the main thing backing their desires up, they want all the wins by force, they are willing to risk it all in gambling as if they are not going to win a lot as well.

If gambling is that easy every gambler will be rich right now, some even knew how hard it is to win in gambling, yet they will still choose to risk a lot on gambling, this is why I don't feel pity for any gamblers that get rekt.

They know about the risks, they saw it coming, and they are paying for the price, it's normal, but I wonder why they feel sad later, or why they get angry, you understand what gambling means, why risk what you can't afford.
do they even care about how much they lose all they care about is their potential to win, and that is where their problem always comes from every time, and they don't care about the word responsible again they just want to always satisfy their hunger for a win, and gambling is not something you should handle that way, even if they want to win by force, you can not force a win in gambling and when you try to even force it then you will keep losing your money until your money finish.

Am sure some people will spend all their salary on gambling they don't have one single control over there self when it comes to gambling, there is no way every gambler can be reached and that is what they have failed to understand, and they do not want to cut their greed, they are not with a win and all they have is lose always.

Well, the fact that a person allocates his money to a casino and says: "This is what I'm going to spend" seems fine to me, it's a great idea, he thinks things are under control and that's why the game is intelligent. Start from there, there is no other way, the person who applies that strategy can be sure that he will not suffer from depression or addiction, nothing of those things, therefore when we are thinking of having a better strategy until now that one is infallible. For me, there is no loss there, some of those who do this strategy just have to consider something and the most important thing is, never break the rule of continuing to deposit money, if they do it simply because they are not doing anything and it is possible that they From there it loses control.

Most inexperienced players when they Enter a casino, it is normal for them to think about how much money they want, how much money they are willing to risk, but above all they think about the money they will win, and that is a hard blow, especially when they generate The opposite result, the emotional blow is sometimes not very well received, there are some Players who don't even go back to the casino more, because they can't stand the disappointment and that's it they read it all, some don't, some keep trying to play more to see if they will recover. , and those who Spend much more do not have good results, and from that point of view, as some people learn , they learn that at the same time you have to play carefully and you have to control a lot, so these types of things are what we have to learn. to control , no matter how much the house Advantage will always be there and we Cannot go over that.

There is a proverb that applies here, ‘Do not count your chickens before they hatch.’ Hoping to get a favorable results is inherent to all human beings, but to actually consider a given that you will win is an entirely different matter.

As in that case once your results do not match your expected profits there are two possible outcomes, the first one is to recognize the error of your ways, which is what any rational person must do, but the second outcome is to chase your losses thinking that a win is inevitable, and it is this kind of thinking what gets people in trouble.

In short, it's everyone's greed. When we win, we often regret why we didn't bet more money, and when we lose, we blame ourselves, why did we bet so much money? It is a vicious circle that we tie ourselves in, unable to escape without giving up our greed. Before gambling, few people can think about the risks they face if they lose, usually they only think about how much money they will win.
The phrases "Risk and Reward" (R/R) always go together, and it's no coincidence that they put the word "Risk" before the word "Reward", right? The main meaning is want us to think about risk before thinking about reward, but most of us do the opposite ;D

There are two types of gamblers I know the most. One of them is a gambler who gambles with a low amount of money whose aim is no more than having fun. In this type it isn't much important for that gambler how much they lose. Because they just want to boost the fun more while watching that event. There are many people who think it is more exciting to follow an event in this way.

The other type is one who likes to take bigger risks by betting larger amounts of money. This type of people should be much more aware of what they are doing. Maybe they can be rich such as Drake example.  :P  In this case it wouldn't matter to them too much. But if it is rather an addiction then they can lose even their life savings.  :(

You can only make a good decision when it comes to your gambling habit if you have a breakdown list of amounts of your winnings and losses, so sometimes it's okay to check it or make it a habit to do it especially if you know on your own that you are consistent with gambling, like you gamble everyday, you need expenses monitoring but if you only gamble rarely, you don't need to do this.

I think that the most important thing for a player, rather than a cat control, is that he always allocates the money to play in a casino that amount that does not affect his life, I insist a lot on that because basically the problems originate in the casinoif it is because we run out of money, and some players get desperate, they start looking for money like crazy to continue playing because they believe that they are going to win in vain and that they are going to come out almost illusory, and that is not the case, the problem of every player will always be that of money, that's why we have to change our mentality, do we have money? We have to take care of it inside the casino, because sometimes we make bets of 1 or 2 dollars and it doesn't matter to us if we lose, but come on, if we want to play in the casino the casino is not going to give us 2 or 3 dollars if we need it in a game.

For me, this is always the basic mistake of the majority of players, because some enter with large amounts of money, I don't know 100usd in advance, and they don't take care of them, because they believe that they will never run out and that is sometimes the case. can laugh very fast, so this is the time of thing that we as players should avoid happening.

The control of the list of expenses, inputs and outputs, well, it is good, but the control of what we are willing to lose is superior, from then on I believe that things will begin to be seen in a different way, the way and style come into play. of the player, and a series of things that are relevant.

Monitoring our own activities is a peak of awareness. Keeping track of gambling outcomes allows you to identify patterns and trends in your behavior. If you have a clear record of your wins and losses, it enables you to recognize any emerging patterns of excessive gambling or risky behavior. This awareness empowers you to intervene early and make informed decisions to mitigate potential harm.

Effective expense monitoring is fundamental to managing your gambling budget responsibly. Maintaining a list of gambling expenditures gains insight into the financial commitments and can allocate funds accordingly. This helps to prevent overspending and ensure that you maintain control over your gambling expenses. Reviewing winnings and losses provides valuable feedback on overall risk exposure. This introspective process facilitates personal growth and empowers you to make more mindful choices in managing your gambling behavior. Gamblers need to minimize the likelihood of experiencing adverse consequences associated with problematic gambling behavior.

This is common thoughts that comes in gambler mind, after winning a decent amount from gambling. Not only gamblers, but most of people have such nature to want more and more even after having a lot. But greediness is a curse for gambling cause thus a gambler do inject limitless money so that they could have maximum possible return but if they lost the match then they also lost all the money together. So they should focus to calculate risk before staking on gambling and need to be cautious of how much they are afford to lose. Thus is how it would be possible to avoid big losses. Otherwise a only thing that a Gambler will have to do is "regret for his decision"

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

It's super common to get caught up in the "what if" game, especially after a win. Thinking about what could have been if you'd bet more is a classic gambler's trap. It’s really easy to start fantasizing about bigger risks for bigger rewards, but that can lead you down a risky path where you might start betting more than you can afford to lose.

Sticking to a budget that won’t leave you stressed if you lose is key. It’s all about balance and not letting the excitement or greed cloud your judgment. I always remind myself to bet with my head, not over it. Wins feel great, sure, but the peace of mind knowing I’m only playing within my limits is worth more than any potential big payout.

Many people start playing only under the influence of emotions. They don't really have any game plan. I assume they will simply enjoy the process itself. At the same time, of course, it is very difficult to get pleasure from losing. But nevertheless, they do not derive pleasure from positive emotions, but simply from strong emotions. But having received many losses, over time they begin to think about certain aspects of the game. This is a kind of decentralized gambling university. Good knowledge in the field of games does not fall from the sky. It must be acquired gradually, along with experience. And experience always means losses.

Some also have a game plan but  along the way they will be tested and they cannot control their emotion, that's when the game plan has become useful. I know a lot of people like that, they'll discuss what to do before the game but they got lost when they are in the game especially when they are experiencing a losing streak.

So it's really important to have a game plan + discipline in order to execute it correctly, otherwise, we will never win in gambling.

No matter how experienced you can be as a gambler you still play games where luck plays a decent role in games where also skill is involved and 100% luck based games like slot machines who make everyone experience go down in ashes as the slots are programmed to make the casino win.It is true that we start playing from emotions as despite losing some consecutive bets and we start feeling sad it takes just one big win during that session to completely change our emotions to the feeling of expressive joy.That is what keeps us coming back,those huge wins out of a losing session,we all start with that in mind that despite knowing we will lose we hope that during such session to be the luck winner of an x10000 or x100000 max win multiplier,that is definitely what keep people coming back.

Many people start playing only under the influence of emotions. They don't really have any game plan. I assume they will simply enjoy the process itself. At the same time, of course, it is very difficult to get pleasure from losing. But nevertheless, they do not derive pleasure from positive emotions, but simply from strong emotions. But having received many losses, over time they begin to think about certain aspects of the game. This is a kind of decentralized gambling university. Good knowledge in the field of games does not fall from the sky. It must be acquired gradually, along with experience. And experience always means losses.
It's not even about winning anymore. They're addicted to the highs and lows, the gut-punches. This ain't your grandpa's poker night; it's full-blown emotional gambling. As they keep getting wrecked, they're learning the hard way; call it "decentralised gambling university" if you like. But this is a costly self-destruction course. Before bleeding out, how many hits can you take? How far down do you have to go before you realise this isn't right? I value experience, but there's got to be a better way. This is bad for your mental health and finances. Like playing financial chicken with a semi-truck, someone will lose big

I agree, it's important to have clear plans and set limits. This way you are prepared of what you can afford to lose from your potential losses. Losses can lead to reckless gambling behavior and financial harm, so always practice responsible gambling to maintain control and prevent excessive losses.
I think this is where risk management comes in, we should always weigh both the tendency of losing and winning at the same time. If we keep observing our loses and gain on every bet, we are going to have limited loses compared to the winnings. Risky management it to be very effective if we want to earn from gambling and not just to make money and lose it back to gambling after a while. We need to be conscious of ways we could lose money in betting. We don't have to be over relaxed on winning bets alone, also losing should be a thing one need to work on so that things are not going to get worse with time.

This is common thoughts that comes in gambler mind, after winning a decent amount from gambling. Not only gamblers, but most of people have such nature to want more and more even after having a lot. But greediness is a curse for gambling cause thus a gambler do inject limitless money so that they could have maximum possible return but if they lost the match then they also lost all the money together. So they should focus to calculate risk before staking on gambling and need to be cautious of how much they are afford to lose. Thus is how it would be possible to avoid big losses. Otherwise a only thing that a Gambler will have to do is "regret for his decision"  
If someone can wins from gambling, his minds will thinks that he can wins more money so he will continue playing gambling to chase the next wins. But unfortunately, that doesn't guarantee to happens as in gambling, we can wins many times but we will lose many times. We must realizes that so we can prevents the big lose and will not takes a big risk losing more money and only used some money that we can afford. But people becomes greedy when they wins and will not realizes that they must stops immediately after their wins or lose so they can avoids the next lose. They must knows how big the risk that they can gets if they continue playing gambling so with the wins money that they already gets, that will be enough for them. Besides that, they still have another time to playing gambling and not just in that day so they must stops their gambling activity before something bad happens to them.

That is the problem with us most because we feel no contentment in life but always asking for more. We ain't no surprised why many gamblers keep losing because of such a wrong way of understanding gambling as they think that the more they spend time gambling, the more they earn. Unfortunately, gambling does not encourage gamblers to do that but rather be responsible gamblers. There is no regret if we are all responsible and take the right approach but if we deem it to take the wrong way, that absolutely takes us to the losing situation.
If we can control our greediness, we are also winning.

Players face multiple downplays and are prone to failing, yes, but that doesn't imply everyone would end up this way. You in multiple responses sound like gambling responsibly doesn't exist. The destruction you've pointed out is crystal clear and known to every player. But, within our reach, they're lots of gamblers who don't experience the mental illness caused by gambling. Greed is a neglected factor in this response of yours, that causes the problem you seem to use in defining gambling. A "decentralized gambling university" is a term for the first I'm seeing, but in a lay man's understanding, it shows how gambling affects players individually according to how they participate in the game. Players who don't get satisfied with what they own, will get into problem gambling. So, if an ungrateful player regrets every wager of his, he'd probably throw in some money that'll appear to him, after, as a huge mistake. Hence this behavior helps in elaborating more about the individual consequences players have to face in gambling. Not all players will bleed out in pain on the long run. The choice relies on a gambler's reaction to impulse.

In short, it's everyone's greed. When we win, we often regret why we didn't bet more money, and when we lose, we blame ourselves, why did we bet so much money? It is a vicious circle that we tie ourselves in, unable to escape without giving up our greed. Before gambling, few people can think about the risks they face if they lose, usually they only think about how much money they will win.
The phrases "Risk and Reward" (R/R) always go together, and it's no coincidence that they put the word "Risk" before the word "Reward", right? The main meaning is want us to think about risk before thinking about reward, but most of us do the opposite ;D

Its funny but true that "Risk" does indeed come before "Reward" in that phrase, and for good reason. Before diving into a bet, it's so important to assess what you're willing to lose before getting caught up in the potential winnings. It keeps you grounded.
Keeping a positive and balanced perspective, focusing on smart, measured bets, and enjoying the thrill of the game.
Gambling is high risk and difficult to balance that's why you should bet based on your ability. Harm from gambling can take many forms, including financial difficulties mental health problems relationship problems and problems at work. Gambling losses are more common than many people think. It is possible to enjoy everything only if you have the ability to control yourself with a positive attitude. Gamblers who cannot control themselves cannot enjoy the fun.

Agree to that, however gambling is always about a game of probability or what I mean is a game of "possibility" which is a fact that winning is nothing more than a chance and losing is a certain thing and I think we should all understand that.
In this case, it is only natural that, for example, wins come occasionally and can never be predicted because wins will only come by chance when you are really lucky.

Gambling is full of uncertainty, which means this is the reason why gambling should not and cannot be used as a place to make money because it is an impossible idea and we often see that gamblers who come with the intention of making money end up suffering a lot of loss of money. Therefore, it is clear that it is better for us to focus on the possibility of losing rather than chasing something that has absolutely no certainty or guarantee, such as winning, and the point is that the best approach is to prioritize risk management because this is how we will avoid bad possibilities such as problems that arise. when you have fallen into addiction.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!
One should focus on increasing their overall bankroll while limiting risk and exercising self-control. However, there are times when indulging in a spirited gambling session can be enjoyable. Occasionally, I deviate from the plan and take a calculated gamble.

Yeah, that's right. The good thing is, that gambling platforms do offer this feature now.
For example, Stake.com has a responsible gambling feature where you can limit your gambling amount. https://stake.games/responsible-gambling/gambling-limits
If one needs a break, they also have the Self-exclusion feature - https://stake.games/responsible-gambling/exclusion
They are also promoting responsible gambling by giving tips for effective gambling management.
https://stake.games/responsible-gambling/stake-smart
Quote
5 Tips For Effective Management Of Your Gambling Activities
-Effective management of your gambling activities can be done by prioritizing other recreational activities too
-Before a gambling session, have a plan in mind of how much you want to spend gambling, and how long you will be gambling for
-Do not spend more than what you can afford to lose
-Understanding the odds and knowing the risks associated with gambling
-Identify when you are no longer having fun or where gambling has become a problem for you, and stop
-Set loss limits, wager limits to assist with managing your gambling activities

I doubt many gamblers do read these things but it's important that we know them just so we can try and be responsible gamblers. I know it's easy to say but difficult to do. But will we lose in trying? We are only the ones who can control ourselves on when to continue or stop. It's better if we assess our own habits if we are crossing the line or not.

Greediness is nearly every human's behavior, if not, a jackpot winner, wouldn't gamble again. Players wager back their jackpot earnings, despite having enough. We all seek for more money once what we once wished for is gotten. The casino uses this human reaction towards money to milk back all their money including the player's savings. While gambling, it's important to have in mind the game is connected to our emotions. Humans emotionally crave money or fantasies, a place where money is flashed to people will make them involuntarily want to go there.

Out of greed, most players will choose to frequent such places where gambling is practiced. Till they're not able to stop visiting the place or online platform. Also, those reactions happen unknowingly to the player, at a level he would control his choices of whether to visit there or not. I don't think addiction allows its victim the luxury of calculating their expenses. Win or lose doesn't mean a thing to them, the player may need extra bodies to help him detect his troubles. That's the advantage of opening up to people about our gambling habit. People can easily watch over our behaviors.

The thing most individuals fail to do before gambling is setting aside a limit to what they would spend on gambling in a day, you'll see someone with maybe $5k in the account, and would want to use the whole money to gamble so as to double it or make more profits forgetting that gambling is two side, you win and lose and most time if you're not good or lucky enough you might end up losing more.

 Now such individuals are the ones that find it very difficult to quit not that they might not know quiting is the right option when they lose but they'll want to recover their lose and end up losing everything they got. These are some of the individuals that end up becoming addicts because along the line maybe when they finally make little profit they would still want to continue hoping to recover more and lose again. And  they keep going on and on.

Control the activities we're seeing right infront of us. We'll be observing the system, know when it's time to triggered good entries and the significant odds to utilized for our own good. The system is risky, know the risks involved and be capable of doing risk management. We lose everyday, that's same ratio we're winning back to back. Let's understand the system, and know what we need to accomplish. We should our best to comprehend matters at hand and also be on the winning side.

The challenges shouldn't be the reason why gamblers will quit the game. Its captivating nature drags more players to try again next time, despite losing out big previously in the game. What is most important is not allowing those challenges to destroy our lifestyle. Gamblers are facing difficulties in unique gambling sessions. Issues hard enough to sidetrack a player's prior ideas to a wrong and abstract plan. The player on his end would accept he's utilizing a smart strategy, but from other people's observation of his behavior, he'll be hurting himself financially. However, not all gamblers get scared of the challenges, due to the money that gambling offers. Even newbies tend to play more after experiencing few wins.

The money comes sooner that players can't get over playing again. Making fast profits is another gambling setting or strategy that has led multiple players to compulsive gambling. How they subside the energy meant for their daily business, and focus on gambling, shocked me in the past, but don't recently. When I found out they're made to see gambling as a business. Because it can yield wealth. This thought is viral and widely accepted by lots of gamblers, showing how gamblers don't care much about responsible gambling. If they were, players would have been craving for the truth they once sought in gambling. Most players depend on what other gamblers do and tell them. Their knowledge of responsible gaming is limited.

I think focusing more on the possibility of losing can only be done and will only exist in the mindset of someone who really comes and is involved in gambling based on correct understanding, because of course when you understand what gambling actually is then I am sure you will focus more on risk management rather than pursuing victory where they know that victory is nothing more than an opportunity and not a certainty.

On the other hand, I understand that gambling has a chance of winning, but what we have to remember is that it is nothing more than just an "opportunity" which means "possibility" without being based on any certainty or guarantee, so it is normal for example if you often feel disappointed due to the results at the end of the session. not according to what you expected but that is normal because after all gambling is always about risk-taking activities. This means that losing is natural and winning is luck, while luck will not always come according to what you want, but yes, as I said above, the point is that focusing on the possibility of losing can only be done by gamblers who come with proper understanding because of course they already understand how the bad effects of gambling can destroy their lives.

Most gamblers only think about the profits they will make and ignore the money they can lose if they do not go according to their plans. That is greed, and the mentality of not accepting the profits they make even though they have achieved their previous expectations. But when they win, they feel regretful for not betting a larger amount. However, there is one important thing that they always ignore: what if they lose? At that time the loss will be much greater.

That's the difference between players with a clear plan and players without any plans or strategies. These are the players at the lowest tier and the ones who always lose money. We can see this mentality and thinking everywhere from casinos to investment fields such as stocks, crypto... If they cannot give up this mindset, they will always be people who lose money wherever field they are

Many gamblers think like that when they are going to or are playing gambling because they want to make money from gambling. But it doesn't go according to plan because gambling is not a place to make money. They should not think like that and just have fun from playing gambling so that they don't lose a lot of money from gambling. If they win a certain amount of money from a small bet, they may regret it but they should not feel that way because they were lucky to win.

If gamblers understood that gambling was a place to have fun in their spare time, they would not gamble a lot of money. They will only risk losing a little money in their free time. They know that gambling will not give them a win but is just fun.

That's right, I agree with that and I think it is a fact that the majority of gamblers, especially beginners who have just arrived, one of the reasons for their arrival is to see the opportunity to double the money they bring in, which they think winning is an easy thing, even though it is actually the opposite. where it is much easier to experience a loss than a win. In fact, focusing too much on winning will make you or anyone else ignore other aspects of gambling, such as risks which can actually never be tolerated at any time, which simply means that as long as you are involved, the possibility of losing will continue to lurk.

Someone who comes with the intention and purpose of earning then of course they will apply greed when they succeed in getting a win where dissatisfaction about the amount of winnings is within them and as you said in some cases instead of immediately cashing out they instead continue the session with a larger amount because the belief and hope are higher which is basically clear in the end when it turns out that the results at the end of the session are not as desired then the amount of loss will definitely be much greater and regret will clearly dominate.

But if you do that, you won't have the privilege of enjoying your gambling because you're spending your time worried at the back of your mind that you're losing this (what you could be losing at that session) much. For me, it's better off if you don't think of what you could lose and what you could win, focus on what matters at the moment which is the game that you're currently playing, you can't change the outcome if you think or worry about it, just do what you have to do and worry about the consequences later, the it's not called a hindsight if you do it along the way.

Most gamblers only think about the profits they will make and ignore the money they can lose if they do not go according to their plans. That is greed, and the mentality of not accepting the profits they make even though they have achieved their previous expectations. But when they win, they feel regretful for not betting a larger amount. However, there is one important thing that they always ignore: what if they lose? At that time the loss will be much greater.

That's the difference between players with a clear plan and players without any plans or strategies. These are the players at the lowest tier and the ones who always lose money. We can see this mentality and thinking everywhere from casinos to investment fields such as stocks, crypto... If they cannot give up this mindset, they will always be people who lose money wherever field they are
Many gamblers think like that when they are going to or are playing gambling because they want to make money from gambling. But it doesn't go according to plan because gambling is not a place to make money. They should not think like that and just have fun from playing gambling so that they don't lose a lot of money from gambling. If they win a certain amount of money from a small bet, they may regret it but they should not feel that way because they were lucky to win.

If gamblers understood that gambling was a place to have fun in their spare time, they would not gamble a lot of money. They will only risk losing a little money in their free time. They know that gambling will not give them a win but is just fun.

How is  gambling site a place for fun? Are you saying you gamble for fun, in what sense?, Are you implying you care not to lose or win but just bet randomly since it's fun?

Risking little money isn't enough, Risking what you can afford to lose is the key, the often case is gamblers taking the win into consideration and careless about the lose, thus giving room for greed to kick in. Moderation over everything, play according to the rules, understand the fact that Gambling isn't a means of income.

IMO if a gambler is thinking of how much he/she will win on gamble they will not be comfortable when they lose, it's a common thing that happens almost everyday. Focusing on how much you can lose on bet can influence a gambler that starts gambling newly not to spend too much money on gamble. Because if he have some money he can be able to think that if he lose everything there will be no leftover cash for him. So not thinking of how much you can earn from gamble is better than imagining how much you can earn, such thought can make one to lose more money.

I think, it's better if we don't think about how much our possible win or loss is to avoid expectations and disappointments, and if we always think about what we will lose, maybe we will only manifest the losses instead of the winnings because that is what is stamped in our mind. It would be better if we just focus on the game itself while enjoying the moment because the more we think about the possible outcome, the more we lose focus on what we are doing.

Yep, it's really strange why someone need to think about the possible loss while gambling.

Let's say you set aside $100 for gambling, when you gamble, you're keep thinking you will loss your $100 in your mind, how can someone enjoy gambling if he keep thinking like that.

Loss is inevitable and profit is uncertain, gambler only need to focus about how much they can afford to lose.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

~~

Sometimes thoughts might lead you toward making a wrong decision, as you can see gambling is a risk, you won't enjoy the high-risk reward if you take a large amount of wage. Gamble that you can afford to lose, or make a plan of consistent betting, sometimes emotions affect to our decision making, instead if having a plan we make a revenge wage just to gain back those losses.

But if you do that, you won't have the privilege of enjoying your gambling because you're spending your time worried at the back of your mind that you're losing this (what you could be losing at that session) much.

If you are a gambler who really care with your money i guess you need to take a look with the debit and credit of your account, for example you play a lot of games and wage a lot of money and of course, you didnt notice and you won once among ten games does the total amount still profitable or not. You need to measure all things too or unless you don't really care with your money just to get entertained.

If you knew that gambling sites were just a place to spend your free time, you wouldn't think of having any other purpose than just having fun. After all, we gamble for fun and not to make money. If your goal is to get money from gambling, it doesn't seem right because it's not easy to get money from gambling. You will probably lose all the money you have at that time and that will make you return to the gambling site. You may not admit that if you return to a gambling site, it is not because you are addicted to gambling but because you just want to have another experience. However, it is a small gambling addiction that can make you keep returning to gambling sites.

In the beginning, gamblers were able to risk what they could afford to lose. However, they become eager to recover their losses and win from gambling as time passes. It keeps them coming back to the gambling site. If this is the case, they are no longer having fun on gambling sites while playing several gambling games but have changed to wanting to win.

That's not the point, it's precisely the possibility of winning money that makes gambling fun. The problem is not so much getting money from it as being aware that the odds are against you and that, although in some sessions you may end up positive, in the long run you are going to lose money. Nobody should sell you a system to beat the house, such as Martingale, because they are bullshit.

I agree, it's important to have clear plans and set limits. This way you are prepared of what you can afford to lose from your potential losses. Losses can lead to reckless gambling behavior and financial harm, so always practice responsible gambling to maintain control and prevent excessive losses.
The problem is,we always know what to do when it comes to stopping this gambling habbit,but we find it difficult to stop or limit our expenses when you are losing,the hope of getting back the money we've lost is what kills us almost every time,and this happens because our minds are set on winning big in gambling.If we had focused on leaving every time you win a little,it would be hard for us to lose much money,but when our minds are on winning big,and even when we've lost,we still want to play,to get your money back,instead of assuming that day is a bad day for us.I have learnt my lessons in gambling,and my recent attitudes towards gambling is one that I love now.
Despite knowing the fact, we cannot control ourselves at that critical moment. A gambler's propensity to gamble may increase due to either winning or losing, but the direction in which he moves depends on the gambler's psychological state. When people who are new to gambling and lose, they are most excited to find their lost money quickly, because of which they can easily become addicted and relatively lose more. I believe that all gamblers who are prepared to lose gambling will never become addicted to gambling. Although losses are a very common occurrence for gambling, no one wants to accept these losses. It is normal to lose in gambling, but if we learn from the loss, it is possible to get good results.

The possibility of winning money will always exist, but they don't need to consider it too seriously. If they can learn from other people's experiences, of course, they will not want to take the risk of losing more money from gambling. They really have to focus on the number of losses because that is what they will get more often than wins. When they start gambling, they should be able to see how much potential loss they can incur from gambling.

They must be able to start thinking about not using gambling as a place to make money, just to have fun. They should gamble to fill their time and to have fun rather than thinking about winning money.

I disagree with you Mate. The game is fun, but our actual thought was we winning on that game not for the fun of the game, so how then should we say gambling is fun and thinkless of winning,lol.
Time is precious, gambling shouldn't take or used up time for useful process.

I think we are all lieing to ourselves, we just have to moderate it. Gamble within our risk tolerance, avoid chasing the fantasies of casinos this will go along way. As OP rightly said,  think of your potential lose in relative to your winnings before placing any bets to be sure you're ready and willing to accept the outcome.

Games should be seen as just fun. When it says that games should be seen as fun, it just means that people shouldn't put money into games when they know that it's money they can't afford to lose, for example a person has a salary of $1000 per month. month, this person has bills worth $800 per month to pay and has $200 to have fun, so this person should not take the $1000 and put it in the game with the aim of making a profit and turning the $1000 into a lot of money and pay bills. This person cannot think that gambling is a means of making a profit. Another example is a person putting $100 into gambling with the aim of making a profit in the long term, turning the $100 into a lot of money. this person had lost everything

Now when people look at gambling as fun, then they will put in money they don't need, money they can lose and won't miss, and they won't be thinking that the money they put into the casino must become too much. for example, someone who earns $1000 per month in salary and has $800 per month in bills and has $200 to have fun, that person can take $50 and go play and when he is playing he will not expect to win and have a lot of money. She looked at that 50$ as lost money, just as she also put 50$ to go to the beach to have fun and looked at the 50$ at the beach as lost money

Managing the amount you want to risk to bet doesn't change anything, it's more like looking out for the amount you can afford to lose any of your games that you want to wager or bet on because your stake size doesn't determine if you are going to win or not and the amount you lose can't be recover that is why you must manage your risk, manage the money yiu can let go and make sure it's not a borrow funds so you don't have to run hecter for a way to pay back.

I fact, if you focus on how much you will lose, you stand a lot to gain. Imagine you have an option like today match where Manchester City against Nottingham and they gave you an option of 1.7 odds and that means that anything you stake on that game is will give you 70% of what you staked and you then focus on that percentage you will gain, you refuse to look at what if Manchester City lose because football can happen anytime and any team can lose. If you bet your house rent and refuse to think about the money used, you might regret later if Manchester City should have lost that match.

I don't know any other reasons to gamble but for fun or addiction. Or in some cases i suppose some people do that for living. But the fact that risking "little money" isn't not enough for you doesn't mean it's can't be enough for others. And by little money i mean same equivalent of value compared to living. Not just literal same value. Some people can only afford that "little money" after they do their budget. It might be 0.0001% to 5% of the income or what ever. And it only matters to people who are gambling with it. No one else has any say if it's enough.

Not everyone is greedy, and that's just ok. Usually people care if they win or lose, but small amounts keeps it fun and not just for adrenaline and dopamine rush or optimal win/loss possibilities.

I called this kind of people great debaters or greedy gamblers. Yes, it is necessary and also good to take some risk just because for you to get what you want and Betty because nobody can win without the risk but at the same time you should be mindful and know the right thing to do. We shouldn’t use all our money in betting just because we think that if we win, let’s win beat if we lose let’s lose because you may continue losing. Betting is not what’s that you will be short about it’s just a game of luck
