Yesterday was trying to place bet and during the process something in me keeps telling me to increase your wager do you know if you would hit something you never won before.. I was like is this how other people are being controlled by gambling or is it how it works? I said, no wonder some people gamble and finishes their allocation for the week or month. This can even lead someone to also go borrow if this feeling is not killed and stop, you can also see that this attributes in gambling addiction.

However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos?

That is how gambling is, as someone is gambling, a thought like this will come to the person's mind. The person will want to increase the money to gamble. Infact, this is one of the main reasons gamblers easy lose money while gambling.

We have always say that gamblers should use little amount of money to gamble and they should not go beyond their gambling budget which should be a very small amount of money to what they re earning.

That's why it's important to control yourself when gambling and manage your mindset correctly, every gambler feels the same thing and often feels like pressure inside of us trying to force ourselves to play beyond the limits of our abilities, that's why it's important for us to limit each gambling budget and be consistent so that Don't exceed your budget limit when gambling, every thought and feeling about increasing your bets should be avoided so you don't get addicted to gambling.

I often feel that feeling where I sometimes feel bored with the game and want to finish the game with higher stakes to immediately spend my budget money, but I don't do it because I know it won't make my feeling of boredom go away because I will just feel like never satisfied to continue betting, after all, by following our feelings within ourselves it will only mislead us from playing responsibly. Gambling must be wise because that way it remains in good control.

But the most important thing is to stand on our mindset, sometimes if our mindset is not right then we will think about unnecessary things by betting high recklessly, our mindset must be like rich people where gambling should be for fun so there are no thoughts. to be too eager to increase the bet and want to win gambling quickly. the best way is to ignore what forces ourselves to win big. because it all started from there.

I say this thought only comes into the gambler's mind if they have fantasized about it before. When they were alone  and not gambling. They must have had this type of conversation where they said, what if I increased by bet size, will I win bigger than I used to win? This thought doesn't spring up from no where. It is always premeditated.

Of course yes. But if you have a plan and maintain discipline these thoughts would hardly last a second. Best way to overcome these thoughts is to not gamble regularly. Reduce the days and hours spent gambling. Be active in other activities outside of gambling. Be opened about your gambling with trusted friends. They are majorly the ones would can talk you out of giving in to such thoughts and gambling irresponsibly.

Right? Use a small amount that won't dent your wallet. Once you start chasing losses or upping the stakes, that's when it gets tricky. Keeping it light and within budget makes the whole gambling scene way more enjoyable without the financial stress.

I think I am going to say that I have two most popular thoughts that come to my mind when I am placing a bet. First one is how I am going to spend money I would won. I think everyone have such though and plan or dream how money are going to be spend after withdrawal. Second though is rather controversial, I start planning my next bet. "If I win, then I would make my next bet as...". This is close to OP said he was thinking about. I doubt that gamblers have different thoughts. All of them are more or less the same.

For most gamblers, after placing a bet, the first thing that comes to their mind is that they can achieve a sizable win. Because after placing a bet, sometimes the hope arises that by placing a bet we can multiply our money many times over. And this is quite normal and normal. However, when we are unable to control these feelings, expectations that are too high sometimes cause us to become out of control when betting or gambling.

And it's true, when we expect too much or have too high hopes for gambling. Because this can lead to disappointment and greater financial risks, which we may regret later. So it would be better if we viewed gambling only as a form of entertainment, not as a way to gain wealth. Because expectations that are too high can encourage irrational betting decisions. So it is important for us to have a realistic mindset and understand that gambling always involves an element of luck.

That's how gambling is, and the gambler, as much as they want and as much as they let their minds take over, they will keep on betting until there is no one left. The thing is, how can you control yourself? Maybe for first-timers or beginners in trading, they will keep on betting or, at worst, raise the wager that could lead them to addiction. Why addiction? As long as the gambler loses, they will keep on betting until they recover what they have lost, but the reality is that it will never come because as long as you keep on chasing the losses, they will keep on adding, leading to, in the worst case, losing all money or assets. The mind of the people is also their enemy; there will be voices that urge you to do things that are beyond your limits, and if you can't control them, then it's your own fault; you are your own responsibility.

I will agree to this because most newbies gamblers prefer to see gambling as a way of making money, it is the losses they saw that makes them to later change but some will continue and that will make them to become an addicted gambler that is wasting money on something that is not giving them benefits no more. Gambling should be seen as an entertainment and it should not go beyond that, gambling is not a means of making money.  When I start to gamble, this affected me as I want to use it to make money. I lost so much until I stop this bad mentality of gambling can make me rich.

I think such feeling or thought is just as normal as it can be, it is what every gambler feel or think from time to time, I said "from time to time" because this not a feeling or thought that comes to a gamblers mind all the time, like myself, i do have such feelings but not all the time, I usually have such feelings or thought when placing bets on some games I am most convinced somehow, that I would win, so, when placing bets on such games, after seeing the amount i could possibly win, I usually get that feeling or thought that that amount is too small, why don't I increase the bet amount, so as for the potential win amount to as well get higher.

There are times I've actually listened and acted on such thoughts, and at the end of the day, I lost all the money, and I blamed myself for not going with the amount i initially wanted to bet with.
And again as well, on the other hand, there are also times I end up winning, and I still say to myself, had I known, I would have increased the bet amount even much more higher  ;D, a true confirmation that humans can never be satisfied.

This is natural in gambling and not being able to resist the temptation to bet more is common among gamblers. The reason why people gamble is because they want to try their luck at the game and attempt to earn a fortune by their luck. So essentially the emotion at work here is greed which needs to be controlled because the winning is a sort of an illusion and almost all gamblers will lose in the long run.

Gamble only in amounts that you are willing to lose. Betting more and more does not increase your chances of winning but increases your loss amount.

I have had almost similar kind of feeling before, where I was tempted to increase my stake in a bet i wanted to place, sometimes too i also fall for it, i will just double my stake. But nowadays, I only stick to the amount I want to use, no matter how the urge comes for me to make increase, I will just stand my ground. I feel as a gambler you can have multiple feelings at the same time, the ability to control and resist the urge to go beyond your limit is what makes you a professional. Gambling totally gives you a different kind of mindset and I believe if you have good losses as a gambler it shapes your gambling strategy and style of play.

It's different for me; I have no desire to increase the wager. Whatever budget is set, that's it. So, my constant reminder when placing bets is to stick to the plan and not forget my limits. I dislike chasing my losses, so that's really what I remember; if my set budget is depleted, I accept it and move on, and that's it. I also ask myself why I still use this strategy even though the majority of my sessions often result in losses. But it's okay because I am aware of any outcome; I'm prepared to win or lose.

There is a lot of concrete evidence from fellow gamblers here that gambling cannot make you rich. most expressed their defeat and shared their experiences here. Hopefully their experience will be a valuable lesson for other gamblers, especially for those who are new to gambling.
If you gamble, it is highly recommended to take a break and not continue playing if you have experienced consecutive losses. and don't ever think about doubling your winnings, because it will all be in vain and you will only end up losing.

This is a normal feeling in anything that has to do with investment or gambling, the instinct is a factor that differentiates human. So in gambling, because you don't know the outcome of the bet you are trapped with this feeling of increasing your bet but I think it is because of greed that a gambler begins to reconsider that against his staking power. What matters is the capital and capacity that you can bear to lose but it is a natural feeling that comes in the mind of a gambler to double or triple your bet incase of winning but we also should consider losing too.

I have been a victim of this all the while, many times I used my signature payment to gamble and some week I exusted all my balance gambling inline with this kind of thought, because most of the time that I make such decisions, I always lose, and I regret why I allow my emotions to control me to that extent.

But what I have come to practice that works for us that, I always take out my balance from my casino wallet and only left behind only an amount that I have set aside the gamble with for that week, and this way, regardless whether I win or leave se at the end, I won't have such emessed bad feelings of letting myself down totally by gambling with my entire amount.

This feeling you just stated isn't alien to gamblers especially those who are not gambling for fun but to make money from gambling or probably to win a fortune off gambling, such people do have this feeling more often than you can imagine because the dream is always to win big against all odds, some times they get lucky and the other they lose their money.

Listing to that voice or thing in you that keeps telling you such often will only get you to the point of gambling addiction so it's better you try to stay within your gambling budget and what ever you win be contempt with it and not wish to have won even more as this will increase your greed level and cause you to start chasing loss which me be the beginning of your journey to chronic addiction which will means you may need help to get out of it if you ever want to quit in the nearest future.

The money you deposit on a casino in the first place, you should be comfortable with losing. Casinos are just a past time, not an investment making activity.
Think of it like going to an amusement park. The money you spend on rides is never getting back to you.
It's just that sometimes on casinos you step on money you get to keep. But it's not a given.
Once a change of mindset is performed, you will no longer have to worry about these issues.

       -   The only thing I do is what is the minimum bet in the casino. I never bet a large amount unless I'm throwing away money. That's why I don't do that because the amount I gamble is really limited. And when it runs out because of my gambling loss, I stop, and that's what I always do.

Though sometimes it crosses my mind to bet a big bet to win a big amount too, that's why I don't try until it's really crossed my mind because I'm thinking that I'm not sure I'll win and I don't want it to end right away in gambling as well.

Thoughts like that are normal, because every gambler will definitely think about increasing their bet, but you don't need to do that, it's our greed, where we feel sure we will win a bigger amount, it's better to play relaxed and enjoy the game. If you fall into your thoughts, there are 2 possibilities between winning big & bankruptcy

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times, the kind where someone whispers to you to increase your bet, or maybe you should continue playing, even though you know on your own that it's not right and if you follow the whispers you hear, you can be in trouble. Maybe this is one of the reasons why many people are addicted to gambling, you will really lose your mind especially if you don't know how to control yourself. It's scary if you lose to the temptations that come to you.

The gambler who start to gambling on the site would like to make their first big win in the gambling site.Because they may get into the gambling by the way of their contact person who made the big win in the gambling site.The gamblers who want to build their game and profit percentage in the gambling site.Most of the gambler will do the multiple betting to get some profit from the gambling site.The gambler who wants to get good money need to do the increase of the gambling skills.Because the skills alone make the gamblers away from the random gamblers.The gamblers should not loss their capital by random gambling to achieve huge profits.

And talking about winning in gambling, this is something that is quite difficult for us to achieve. So when we are given the luck to win, then use the winnings for something more useful, rather than having to waste it again in gambling. and indeed, the victory we achieve can be a motivation and reason for us to bet even crazier and exceed the limits we have previously set, which includes time and financial limits. In responding to this problem, as much as possible when we win, act as usual, so that we remain in a calm position. By remaining calm, this can help us consider the next betting decision more objectively and help us minimize the risks that will occur. But even better, if after getting a fairly large win, it would be better if we decided to cash it in and take a break from betting activities, then think about allocating the winnings for more useful things, such as; increase the amount of savings or investments we have.

"The euphoria after winning can affect a person's mind and can make a person take unnecessary risks, which only leads to losses and regret."

I believe that at one point in time every gambler has thought about this.

There have been times when the thought of increasing our bet comes to our mind and also times when the thought of lowering our bet comes as well. Myself I have participated in both, when I decrease my bet it always as a result of my thinking about some factors about the match [referring to sport betting here].

But in casinos – crash, slot, plinko and the rest I’m pretty sure I’ve only increased my bet a few times [although, I’m still bombarded with the thoughts of increasing it, like what if this comes out good? Won’t it make you win more?] but I still managed to resist but in the case of sport I give im easily to that thought.

I did have an idea to do that but I don't have the courage to make it happen. I am so scared of the "What if it loses?". So, I just stick with the same amount most of the time and if ever I win big, that is when I will try to increase the bet a little bit, an amount that I can still manage to lose.
This is where we get wrecked, I've seen it happen a lot of times. Casino games will always win and there's no perfect strategy for making high profits. Even the known Martingale can deplete our wallet first and that kind of strategy is only for the rich, those with deep pockets.
Anyway, it's not wrong to just imagine the "what if" we bet high amounts on the next rounds because we feel lucky but I won't recommend that to any casino game. Stick with the amount we can afford to lose because that way we won't feel deep regrets if ever it goes south. This is where we lose our money and maybe lose our minds too because of the stress that it will bring to us.
Might as well just enjoy the games while betting low amounts and trying to hit the jackpot. I played Keno a lot of times and I can say it's not that easy to hit those but RTP will help to bring back a part of the losses and give us more chance to survive the next rounds.

In my opinion, this often happens, because I myself feel that way, when gambling and the gambling that is done is going well and well, so I also occasionally have thoughts about increasing the amount of the bet, but my experience is that when I increase the amount of the bet but the game doesn't change. became bad and spent the money I had on that gambling. but with that I realized that not everything we do in gambling will produce something good. So I think we still have to gamble carefully, don't forget ourselves or lose self-control.

because what I know is that if we lose self-control when gambling then the consequence is addiction and being addicted to gambling is not a good thing, because it will destroy our lives in the future. When placing a bet, of course we want to win, and that is the hope and goal of all gamblers, but I suggest you don't expect too much from gambling, because that will only get us into big trouble. So if you have lost then stop, and when you win immediately cash it out, even though there is still a chance to win but it is just possible, not guaranteed!

So many times I experienced that, but you have to go through this if you want to develop your control, experience is always the best teacher, and the urge to bet more is always there because the mind always wants challenges, this is the only way you can think and you can argue with yourselves when you went through a lot, you can think of your allocation and your bankroll and from that, you will consider what's the right moves to proceed.

You can only think clearly and you will have the right judgment if you've gone through these things, this is the big difference between newbies and experienced gamblers, they know how and when to decide to keep their bankroll and protect themselves from addiction
But it will be ok if you will not go through all this, and develop critical thinking.

as you said, that's the usual dilemma of most gamblers, they have the feeling that if they continue to bet, they have the chance to hit big. but unfortunately, the usual circumstance is that, you will bust your bankroll fast if you don't know how to manage your funds.
if you follow your desire to play, definitely, you won't stop playing. that's the magic of these gambling games. it is very addictive and if you can't contain yourself, you will find out soon that you are under the spell of your games.

it is understandable that if we place bet, of course, we want to win. who wouldn't want to win, right? but always keep in mind to be a responsible gambler. bet what you can afford to lose. and not think that it will give you winnings to pay for your debts. because the probability of winning is not always 100%, even if we say, you live and breath that particular sports. upset does always happen, and so you can't assure the outcome of your bet up until it is already over.

I think such feelings are no longer strange if they arise when you are running a session, but in my opinion it depends quite a lot, I mean depending on what exactly your goal is to come to gamble, feelings like that must be there but it depends on you, if indeed your goal is to gamble in order to get a number of wins then it seems like there is a great potential for you to be influenced by such feelings that end up being tempted and do it, even though it is nothing more than a temptation that arises because of the hope in you so that it indirectly creates an illusion in the mind that seems to encourage yourself to try to increase the amount of bets.

I think the point of the problem is in the purpose of your arrival, because this is very much related to the expectations that exist within themselves for an end result that is in accordance with what is desired and also on the other hand this is the feeling that addicts have where they always think and feel confident that there seems to be success in getting a big win if they increase the amount of bets. when in fact all of that is nothing more than a temptation that will only trap themselves in the end result which is usually disappointing, which is why it is always not recommended to put hope in gambling.

I concur with your point. When people begin gambling it is often because they have been influenced by peers or the social media stories that paint gambling as a very lucrative activity where there are only wins only. And it can turn them into an overnight millionaire. Mostly the people who fall into this category are college students, high-school students, those who have little or no experience in life. Gambling is an entertainment, should be done for fun. It should be done with the right mindset and the right orientation. If you start to notice that you are aways thinking about your next gambling session, take a break or quit if it is taking a huge toll on you psychologically.

We have mixed emotions when placing bets, if money is our intention why do we play in casinos, we feel worried and excited because it is money that we worked hard and we are risking it, we are excited when we just want to have a good time and also make money because we are in suspense mood trying to guess if we are going to win or lose.
Control and discipline are very important in gambling, your bankroll is the measure of how good you are at controlling your gambling, experienced gamblers have no problems with their bankroll distribution, they know when to stop and how to pace themselves.
Pacing is very important to keep your bankroll last at your allocated time, if you cannot control or do not know how to pace, you will eventually lose your bankroll at the earliest time.

When placing a bet, the first thing that comes to my mind is a big win. However, someone once said to me, don't get your hopes up and have high expectations about gambling. because gambling is full of uncertainty and winning is only a possibility. And believe it or not, the higher your hopes for gambling, the greater the feeling of disappointment you will experience. where the feeling of disappointment can make you stressed and crazy.

So it's better if we gamble according to our abilities, betting with an amount of money that we are prepared to lose. And if betting or gambling is done carelessly and haphazardly without considering everything, including the potential for winning and the risk of losing, then the gambling we do will only lead us to a loss. and the loss I mean is not only in the form of financial misfortune, but also in terms of time we will lose. because if we gamble too often, we lose opportunities and very valuable moments, whether in the family, career or business world.

Too bad it means you have a lot sins, you need to confess your sins in order to be forgiven. :P

That's a process to beat yourself, if you can't beat your mixed emotions, you will not able become a responsible gambler because sometimes you might follow your emotions instead of sticking with your beginning plans.

I think it happens to every people, while you work you're thinking to take a vacation, when you're already in vacation you're thinking with your jobs.

This is normal because of our greed. We are always tempted to increase our bets especially if we are experiencing winning bets due to the potential additional profit we can get for the increase.

Casino rely on this gambler instinct to make us loss quickly because we have limited bankroll and the chances are we will encounter lose bets on one of our increased bet if follow this kind of instinct. This is why it’s important to know when you will ride your win to properly take advantage on your luck by efficiently increasing your bets when you have the winning momentum. I created a thread about this before that helps user to deal on this kind dilemma when gambling.

Whenever I place a bet I think that I am going to hit it and that is the standart feeling for most gamblers.Of course when we are betting on realistic odds of less than 50 for example that is the feeling,while when I place such bets with odds of 1000 or more of course the feeling is much different,it is the feeling of if it hits it hits and no normal person with reasonable reason would think when placing bets with these odds are going to hit those.

This is about emotional control and it plays important role in our decision making process as far as gambling is concern. As a gambler, the first thing to do before even making your selection is to know how much you are going to spend on that particular session. If you are able to do this and abide by it consistently, it will reduce the chances of your mind being influenced to increase your wager that might probably lead to your colossal lose.. It's normal to have those feelings and it happens to everyone but if you are always trigger to act based on your feelings, you still have a long way to go and your bankruptcy is imminent. Remember we can not be 100% satisfied with our decision and there is always regret no matter the outcome.


It's pure greediness without thinking about the opposite side of the action. Increasing the wager will definitely gives higher potential returns but likewise the wager is your money and if the bet should lose, you partway with such amount. It's just about risk management and if you can contain the result it's fine. However, going hard to the extent of borrowing money should never be in the option at all.

We all have adventurous thoughts in us that tells us to go beyond our risk limits to achieve greater results, although this thoughts can help us to achieve greatness, but it's not in every aspect. Gambling requires discipline and budget and if a gambler sticks to these methods he'll not be distracted by that inner adventurous voice inside, instead he'll stick to the plan and gamble the percentage that is budgeted for the bet. So the key factor for gambling should be to gamble responsibly and to achieve this is to have a budget for it and be disciplined not to exceed it.

Yes, I feel that too. When you see better odds you usually increase the bet to get a bigger return. Likewise, when we get a small winning streak, there is a feeling of wanting to increase the bet for better results.
But to be honest, situations like that are normal for gamblers to experience. but the results are sometimes just the opposite. But some get lucky when they raise their bets and get bigger wins.
I consider all of this not a gambling strategy. it was purely our luck.

I have something else in mind after a series of losses I made just last Saturday. I couldn't say if it's adventurous but sillier because I'm thinking of betting on the opposite instead of the initial choice. I thought all my bets seemed wrong so I'll just ignore the first choice that comes to my mind and pick the other for I may win this time. This is just in the mini-game I play from dice and lottery.

The thing that comes into my mind when placing a bet is just acceptance that it could be a losing one in order to save myself from frustration and regrets. But likea usual gambler, I do have second thoughts of not proceeding with mu bet or instances that I wanted to increase or decrease the amount. It was just later that I am prioritizing to anticipate the negative outcome more which so far made things better. I now enjoy gambling more than mu early months in this industry since I was before chasing the win and profit but as we all know, things won't be going easily.
We tend to have such thougts after the result; either regret of betting because it is a losing bet or regret of not going all out because it turned out to be a winning bet. I do practice deleting these reactions in every bet simply because it doesn't make sense and will just affect my next betting experience. If these thoughts are owning you everytime you are playing then just stop gambling because it won't let you enjoy playing. You should accept things right from the start that we don't have full control of results which are in accordance with what we want.

I feel the same way as you do many times I wish that I will finally hit the jackpot so I keep adding up if you have no self-control you will eventually lose your bankroll in the shortest possible time and you will end up chasing your losses and adding more money to keep you playing, you must have control on your bankroll it's a sure sign of addiction if you have poor management of bankroll.
I remember my one week allocated for bankroll only lasted 3 days and I had to take some of my savings to add to my bankroll for my next session, It is easy to fund your account online which is why online is where I lose my bankroll faster and easily.

sometimes a gambler's enemy is his own mind, which often provides deceptive voices that make gamblers make wrong decisions, such as increasing bets, continuing to play, and so on. that's why it's important for gamblers to be able to control themselves to be able to play based on the strategy they determine, not by following their own thoughts because that will sometimes lead gamblers down the wrong path.

though it is quite difficult to fight these deceptive voices, if gamblers are used to being disciplined and have been trained to fight against their own thoughts, this should not be a problem for gamblers.

Any thought can come on anyone's mind when they place bets. But one thought we all have in common is the desire to win and make money from all our games. These desire most often influence the decision and choices we make while betting. While many might have the urge to stake higher amount to get higher returns, many others just like you will try to be extra careful with our predictions so we do not lose. As we all know,  this is gambling and it is a game of luck. There is no 100% certainty that your predictions will be accurate, you just have to accept whatever the outcome of your bet brings.

The most important thing boils down to how we control all these desires/urges. We wouldn't be talking about discipline and self control if extreme gambling measures do not have negative effects on us. A gambler that can control himself while gambling does not have any problem at all.

Yes, I've had that feeling, but I don't know where it comes from. I felt like a voice or whatever told me to place a higher bet than usual. But that doesn't guarantee that I can win because I still lost in some games, even though I won too. It may be greed that tells us to place bigger bets than usual so that if we are tempted, we will immediately increase the bet. But even though there are feelings like that, it also doesn't guarantee that we can win because we don't know whether those feelings tell the truth and lead us to win or are just whispers that lead us to experience loss. We should stick to our usual bets and only bet with money we can afford so that we don't regret anything that happens.

When I initiate my gambling session, what comes to my mind is each step of the plan I already had in mind before I started playing. So I execute the plan, and scheduled. If I win, my mind tells me to stop, because I have already reached the profit I was dreaming about when I planned my gambling game. However, if I lose, then it's a little more tricky, because there is an inner conflict inside my mind, like those small angel and devil on each side of your ears, telling you to stop and the other telling you to continue, respectively.

I confess it's not so easy to stop when this happens, because you never want to swallow a defeat to the casino. So what comes to my mind are new possible strategies and plans to continue playing and recovering the loss money. Since this kind of thought is nothing new to me, I already have some experience calming emotions down and taking control of my mind, hearing the advices of the small angel, instead of the devil one. If the same happens to you, don't desperate yourself. Remain conscious to make a rational decision. Don't let your mind take control of you and you should be fine.

That happens to me when I become greedy, which I get a lot of the time, and it's what usually kills most of the profits I get instead of simply chilling throughout the day. Once you have those quick and easy wins, it could give you a boost of confidence to go for something aggressive like doubling up, and most of the time, it backfires to put you back to reality. It's okay to play the way you want as long as you can deal with the aftermath, and that's where most gamblers struggle, as these scenarios will continue to occur in most of your sessions.

It comes from greed. Actually, that voice and feeling is the greed itself pushing you to gamble further, since you have already pictured the potential winnings and the things you could do with all that money. That is the feeling most of casinos try to rely on to tempt people to continue to gamble further in the long term, increasing their profits.
I would say that for us to be responsible gamblers and not to take steps in the casinos which could lead us to regrets, it would be ideal not to only think of the potential winnings of our bets, but also consider the posible losses which could come with that increased wager we start to consider when putting our bet on the table.
It is not all shinny and promising in your eyes when we take a second to realize we are allowing greed to take over and makes us assume we have a guaranteed win in the next match. All of it is an illusion, a falsehood, highly religious people would even say it is some kind of evil entity whispering in our ears.

Anyways. It is better to identify those feelings exist and try to control them instead of ignoring them and not acknowledge them.

This is common for all gamblers or anyone taking any risk at any point. There is a usual urge to do more, especially if it's more rewarding to you. Although these thoughts are good for everyone, they're equally motivating if it's another aspect of liFe, not gambling, but when it comes to gambling, it's more about self-control or emotional control because if you fail to observe this control, you will surely go into wasting your funds out of greed to profit more.

Maybe it seems awkward because it's your first time to observe this urge to gamble, but for most of us here, we have been experiencing it, and that's why we have come up with the option of having a set limit for ourselves in order not to waste resources or capital.

There are 2 factors why someone wants to achieve the expected high winnings even though they are not ready to lose betting funds because their gambling scenario is controlled by greed. Firstly, as you mentioned, the previous high win has increased your confidence to increase the bet and you speculate that you will get the same win on the next bet. Second, every gambler will not stop gambling before the winning target can be achieved, say there are 3 high winning levels in gambling, so every gambler definitely wants to reach level 2 of the gambling winning level because level 1 including jackpot wins is difficult to get in every bet.

If you can handle both 2 factors it will be easy to control emotions in gambling, never target high profits but it is better to "take profit" on every win and you will have capital for gambling the next day.

Are you just starting to gamble, because I think if you are pro then I believe this particular feeling won't be new to you anymore because this is a common feeling among gamblers but for those who tend to gamble with no control because the moment you start thinking to add more staking power to your bet then be sure that's when things can start flipping because sometimes you would go beyond your boundaries and do all type of things you didn't intend to .

Several thoughts do come to my mind on gambling but due to the way I have programmed myself to gamble to bet less, I try as much to subdue the urge to bet more whenever it comes for me to bet more in aspects to win more.
I can't begin to bet more when I have programmed myself on a particular amount I am going to bet in a gambling house. Betting more just because I have the urge doesn't make me a gambler who wants to only have fun in gambling, but also has the intention of making wealth from gambling. That attitude alone makes me a liar to myself. Not telling myself the truth

I had these types of things when I started gambling, I remember that at that time I would make a bet and then I would start to think that I should have put more money on that bet, so I would look at the bet and cancel it, of course I lost money when I canceled a bet, but I made the same bet again, putting in more money and losing. When I lost, I started feeling very guilty about the loss, I started thinking that I shouldn't have made that bet. In other words, I was very sorry about my choice. but it was unbelievable that when I made another bet, I made the same mistake and then started to feel very guilty again. There were times when the game I bet on was a game that made me very confident

I was very confident that I would win that game, for that reason I went back to betting on the same game but with more money, but at the end of the game I lost my bet again, that cycle lasted a few weeks and eventually left me very sad to the point that I I decided that the time had come to stop playing and I stopped playing. It's funny that when after years I started playing again, I remember that in the first few days I made the same mistake as I did in the past. but this time to correct myself, I chose to stop placing bets without first having a solid plan, I decided to start learning more about bankroll management and how to better analyze each game and its markets, I started learning about the most common mistakes that people make. should avoid, and thanks to that I no longer made the same mistakes as in the past

Honestly, I can't expect too much from the gambling I do and the amount of bets I place. Because gambling cannot be expected. Moreover, at the time of gambling and placing a bet, I got more losses than wins. I have tried as much as possible to play calmly and make decisions that are quite appropriate and wise. Maybe I'm not too lucky in gambling. But even so, it is extremely difficult to escape from the world of gambling. Especially if we have put gambling as part of our pleasure.

It's completely normal that you felt like this, OP. You're simply overthinking the bet, going "what if" for too long. We all did that and it happens not only in gambling but also in investing, even withdrawing from a bank, selling or buying things. Should I buy this car, or go for a cheaper one? Should I buy this house or go big and spend all my money on that bigger and better one? Some of you say it's "deceptive thoughts" but it's not. It's normal analytical thing our brain does. We're programed to do this.

This happens to those that only think of how much they will win without considering that gambling is a 50-50 chance of winning and losing, So if you allow greediness to overrule you when gambling, then this is when you start to feel this way and try to increase your stakes, and secondly, if you are someone that don't have self-discipline, and a budget when engaging in gambling, that is how much you want to risk or stated amount to be used on a particular game you will always be tempted to increase your stakes.

I bet whatever comes to mind when I run out of strategies and I do it that way because I like to give luck and a different game a chance, all the time I play with an order with some steps, with a routine, I feel that the casino knows how I play and I can't win that way, so sometimes I make unplanned plays and plays that don't seem logical to see if I'm lucky, I think everyone has applied that strategy to see how it can change the game, this is a way to mislead the system, that's how I see it.

But when I'm playing my mind stays very focused on what I'm looking for, trying not to make mistakes, and always visualizing that I can win, that's my goal, to be able to win and be able to do something so that I can make a difference, I don't do anything else. Another thing, for me it is important to win and earn some money, to see if I can do something profitable one day in the casino, I always stick with having fun and with few profits.

I know it wasn't easy to handle with this kind of feelings when it comes of placing bet because you could be tempted to increase your bet above your monthly gambling budget, sometimes I felt is greed that causes most of the things while trying to increase bet is always a result of Greed so anyone who can control this feelings can as well maintained a healthy gambling practice than becoming irresponsible gambler.

Every gambler at all curse would want to win something big while gambling, this mindset doesn't have to leave you sometimes after you might placed bet below what you wanted immediately you will regret to say how I wished I could have increased the bet above your limits and this often happens when you don't have additional funds in your bet account to place another bet, if is offline this would lead you to go borrow money from a close friend within the gambling environment.

That's your conscience telling you to gamble more and you'd feel regretful if you don't bet that much, correct? It's a normal thing and it is yourself that have it on your mind and probably before you're already like that. There is a serious matter that you have to control for yourself because if you're not going to do some solutions on it, you'd listen and obey the whisper of your conscience.

Yes but that was before. But right now, I was able to control myself and if there will be that type of whisper that wants to me think that I should win and I should bet more, I ignore it.

That's gambling friends, the more we get carried away with a game, the more obsessed we will become and want to continue playing with the amount of bets that can certainly continue to increase every time we force to continue betting on the game.
It happens because we enjoy too much and make us complacent because of the gambling done because it is not wrong if almost most people say that gambling increases dopamine which makes us constantly feel the adrenaline in the body increases so that the obsession to increase the bet is getting bigger because we are increasingly challenged by it.
That should actually be avoided because however in a situation like this even though we are a gambler but we should not continue to force things like this because after all it is a condition that is not too good if it is done too often, therefore the importance of self-control so that such situations do not occur.

If thoughts like this keep coming your mind the be ever ready in giving it the reply that gambling is a win or loose game and will a be able to adapt ithe conditions if I loose bet, we do make winning not by how much we deposited to play bets but how skilful and knowledgeable we are in gambling with the luck attached.


It isn't how it works, it just an iIlussion trying to instigate you for loss.


Yes, but what comes straight to my mind anytime is can I be able to afford loosing as well, if I can't then I shouldn't risk it for nothing.

The gamblers mind usually have a lot running through it when ever they initiate the action of placing a bet any of the games of their choice, this taughts ranges from how they are going to win, if they should add or increase their stakes or if they should rather not place such bet all this put together makes the mind of some gamblers indecisive and make some of them to make choices that may look improper but then a good and responsible gambler will know how shot all other aspects of their minds and make a decision on what they feel is best for them.

The fight against these taughts are usually not easy to battle but the more you gamble and have these experience, out of your experience you be in a better position to handle such situations.

The analogy to the "rich person mindset" is clever. Approaching gambling as a recreational activity, rather than a desperate quest for riches, removes the pressure to win and allows for a more balanced experience. Ignoring the internal urge for quick wins and focusing on the present moment are key elements of this mindset.

Ultimately, responsible gambling starts with a strong and stable mindset. When our internal state is aligned with healthy priorities and realistic expectations, the allure of reckless bets and chasing losses fades away. We can then truly enjoy the game for what it is, a source of entertainment and social interaction, without succumbing to the potential dangers of addiction and financial ruin.

Such kind of thought don't just happen in gambling but in other areas of life. You will always have the feeling to put in more money in gambling or other endeavours because you might perceive that you might win big. Humorously sometimes it turns out to be the right decision and you win big from such a bet increase. And you will begin to tell how your intuition was just correct but in some other cases, you tend to regret your action and even claim that such thoughts came from the devil.

I have had this feeling several times and in may of these cases I regretted my actions because I lost. From then henceforth I am not greedy to increase my bet because of a mere feeling. I always follow my gambling plans no matter how I am feeling. Although I might have won bigger in some occasions if I had increased my bet my decision has saved me from unnecessary losses and regrets.

I usually think about actually having money in my pocket, or what has been the case lately, XFUN in my XFUN wallet. Regardless, I try to visualize it as best as I can. I know it doesn't really do much, but it keeps me at ease, at least until the games start hahahah

What really comes into my mind when I am betting is "I will win this bet" and most times the game ends up being lost and sometimes I won the bet but many bets have to get lost before one will win a bet.
Some people have the luck of betting that they didn't need to lose their bets all the times before they won but there are some that have to lose before they win. I can't really explain this but that's what I can say for now.

The things kind of start with losing self control while doing gambling and then it becomes greed have it becomes to addicted. So I think before doing we have to control our mind if we lose our self control then there is a most chance for facing loss that's why always set a leave it before gambling and stop after the crossing of your limit.

The number one lesson you should learn and always take with you is never to gamble with the influence of emotions or greed, because from what you explained, i can see that your greed took over you and at that making you to gamble exclusively on above what you set aside to, this temptation always come along the way, but you must have to control such emotions and not allow it to get the best part of you because if that happens,  it will result into a heavier loses at the end so it better we stay away from emotional gambling.


First before you gamble of pick a bet, always have your target and limits to what you stake and how much you have set aside to take that risk, because your losing ratio is always higher than the winning ratio so you have to get yourself prepared for that at any point in time.

Of course, what the OP said, I have also experienced this, but in reality, when I increase the amount of money per bet, the results are not suitable or result in a loss. Not just once or twice, but this happens often. Surprisingly, when we place bets with small amounts, we often win until we replace them with a larger amount of money in one fell swoop and instead lose.

after I place my bet, what always comes to my mind is that I hope to win, it's always like this. I don't increase my bet because he already has a budget, whether the bet is big or small, that's how it always comes to my mind that I hope to win haha. It's not bad to always think of winning, but the opposite always happens.

That's how gambling is tempting, it's like there's always someone telling you it's not enough and you need more until more is nothing. This leads near to addiction if you keep following that thoughts and can't even control your emotions and strategy.

While me having no thoughts when rolling i don't even wish a win lol but of course i want it in the very first place, that's the reason why i gamble.

Well for it to be easy to understand, if you play games gamble to win money you might feel tempted to bet more and more. However, it's important to be careful because those feelings can trick you into making bad choices. It's like hoping too much for a big win and sometimes it can end up being disappointing. So it's better not to rely on gambling to make your hopes come true.

Yes, I experienced this as well. I guess it's a normal feeling especially if you're betting on something that you think is most likely going to win or when you feel that it's your very lucky day or bet. Of course those are just your gut feelings. They're not really feelings that are based on something solid. In the end it will be up to you to either give in to that feeling or avoid falling for it once more. I'm sure this feeling had already hit you in the past and instead of winning you ended up losing.

All players will experience the same thing, in my opinion, keep thinking about what amount to use, increase or decrease or stay at the limit that is usually applied, because usually players will calculate how much profit they will get and also the opportunities for losses, so that's not just what happens in your mind, and these are all temptations that players must be able to overcome well, otherwise gambling will damage our finances, because we cannot overcome all temptations so we gamble beyond the limit, and I will stick to my limit and will only increase when previous gambling gives a profit so that it can be used to increase bets but of course not all because we should also be able to enjoy the profits obtained.

As matter of fact, that is the main reason for gambling addiction. Almost all gamblers have that mentality. There is always a driven force that controls the innermost part of you, which drives that force of making you think such. Expecially when you had the opportunity to play a certain game with big amount and hit a jack pot and you never did, due to fear of failure. When nest you want to play your instincts tells you to stake higher that you have made this same mistake before. So now is the time to hit the jackpot again. If you are not careful you play with emotion and loose.

I think this happens if someone is unable to control themselves, this feeling will always be there if we want big profits. If we increase our bets the amount of profit is also big but the risk of losing is also big so we have to be careful so that gambling doesn't dominate our mind us because if we easily increase the bet without thinking about the risk of losing it will make us lose money quickly because there is no guarantee of winning when gambling.

Sometimes I also feel like that when I am betting on sports and increase my bet because I know the chance of profit is big and in the end it makes me regret because I have to lose more money, sometimes we also have to be able to restrain ourselves from spending too much money in although betting has a big chance of profit, in betting the risk of losing is still greater than the chance of winning.

Everyone will have some kind of suggestion or belief in what they will do, especially in gambling there must be series of beliefs such as things that are taboo but will always come and haunt each gambler.
No one can avoid it and the only way is to suppress it.

This usually happens and with every bet I also experience the same feeling, especially if the predictions have are truly convincing in order to increase chances of winning then the desire to increase the bet amount will also be greater.
But because I have limits and control, I can suppress my desire to increase the number of bets and in the end I only bet what I can afford to bet.
If increase it and experience failure, will definitely feel regret and I don't want that to happen.

Not only after experiencing a loss. There is a theory in psychology about "the mind that reminds" (sorry but the technical term may be different in English) which states that before we make a decision we think about the ulterior consequences and the regret we may feel if we're wrong.

On the other hand, there is "the mind that experiences", which is consistently looking for pleasure.

As a result of the clash of both systems, we make decisions. So that's what comes to our mind when gambling.

That was ridiculous, Why the guesture probability that "you may win" instead of whispering that "you would win"? So that you could be confident about it even if it was a false whisper. Lol.
Well, in gambling there is always a thoughts that we basically can't abidt with them all because you would be encouraged and discouraged by the UPs and DOWNs along the lines.

The act of going astray in gambling is a responsibility of the gambler to decide his/her gambling status and of course be self determined with his prediction.
There is always several thoughts while staking and predicting on the gambling board.

Op that is what we all as gamblers pass through. It's normal and that is just a trick in gambling that can easily get you to become an irresponsible gambler. That is why we always recommend you are discipline before you get into gambling, so you'll no when to say no, even when the I looks like you have a high probability of winning the bet. "Stake higher this might be your lucky day" that's the thought that always come to my mind, but I just shun it and keep doing my regular. Gambling is for the strong minds and not for the weak.

I don't think like everyone, honestly the first thing that comes to mind is that I will probably lose the money I am risking, I don't have the eager to win some money, it's always me giving my money away and when I don't see it coming, the casino gives back at times and sometimes the money is good enough.

How can I always wish to make free money when I don't plant any seed to make me expect some gains? I only expect money from where I put in a lot of effort not like gambling, this gambling thing is like giving you an opportunity out of 100 of bad luck, you can't rely on gambling like you should with your business or your source of income.

If you don't have a skill, start looking for one, if you are into business don't destroy everything with your gambling activities, let your business be your main focus, if you are making good amount of money you will be able to gamble out of fun, not trying to be a millionaire by gambling.

Thoughts and feelings change when people play. They care about losing, but they want to take more chances to win more. When people are stressed, they might do stupid things, and some might even get hooked on video games. Although it's not true, this is how many people feel in a casino. Not knowing how the games will end is both exciting and scary. You need to control these feelings if you want to be a good player. Spending too much or doing things that make you want to win when you know you can't are bad ideas.

That is rather strange logic. Either you are a huge pessimist, or I dont understand why you gamble in general. You place bet and think about loosing. Why dont you try not placing a bet, but give money to others from the start? (as you say that you always share money). I think you should change your attitude to gambling and start believing more in yourself. You already start with "I wont make it" mood. I can suppose you have such attitude not only with gambling. I suggest to be more positive.

Many gamblers can't control the urge to increase their wager when gambling as they think they can win more when they use higher wager to bet. They can win but winning when gambling isn't what we can depend on, we'll hope to win but also we should tell ourselves that we might not win so we won't get the urge to increase our wager. When we use small amount to gamble, we give ourselves more chances to bet for a longer time and them we can win from one of those bets.

When I'm gambling, I'm very disciplined to not let my mind tell me to increase my bet, I would rather reduce my bet than increase it. There are ways we can avoid this feeling and that's by having a budget for the week and each game we want to bet on. We can get carried away when gambling but if we have a budget, we'll always be reminded that we're exceeding our gambling limit for the day to stop.

I had such feelings too when I first started with gambling and had to learn the hard way that these are not productive thoughts. Our brain likes to engage in wishful thinking and will imagine all the potential profit from gambling, completely disregarding the risk we take. With lotteries this behavior is the strongest for me. My mind keeps telling me to place additional numbers to double my winning chance. Even though a winning chance close to 0 is still close to 0 doubled. The only thing that really helped to not fall for that behavior again was to have fixed budgets for every type of gambling. Only with a hard limit on my bankroll I can tell my brain there is no additional money to be used.

Yes hearing such an idea is quite strange when someone wants to lose in gambling :D, but on the other hand I think it seems like he is quite desperate with his gambling involvement because he always loses in the previous sessions maybe, or he has the right understanding of gambling which is a game of probability that will only be able to give you a win if you are lucky, and with this makes him not expect any victory there. I slightly agree with this idea because it is true that "hope" is usually always the starting point for a gambler to do some out-of-control actions such as chasing a win because they gamble based on hope which indirectly makes them feel less accepting of the possibility of risk if it happens.

But on the other hand your statement is also quite reasonable here which if indeed someone does not want to win at all then it is better to give their money to people who are more in need like beggars for example,. Another thing is that gambling is nothing more than a probability activity as I said above and this understanding really should not be ignored and must be owned by every gambler, because with this then I think you will be able to maintain a consciousness not to act out of control, after all as our friend said above that even if we don't put any hope if we are lucky then the victory may also come by itself and he has experienced it.

Greed will come to us without us being able to realize it, and most gamblers will follow greed and continue gambling even though they have already experienced loss or won. They will never be satisfied with the results they have gotten, so they continue gambling, and even though they finally manage to get a big win, they only stop for a moment and continue gambling. When we start playing gambling, there will be a desire to win the gambling game, and it will be big along with the wins we get. Many gamblers who have won big do not immediately stop gambling, but they decide to use some or even all of their winnings to gamble again. But the hope of getting another big win is just hope because they experienced a loss that cost them all their money. If we can win, we should immediately stop gambling and not think about continuing to gamble because that could cause us to lose.

We can identify those feelings, but many of us reject them and say they are fake and not real feelings. That's what caused them to decide to continue gambling.

There are times when I doubt whether I placed the right bet or not. I always check and re-enter my betting amounts whenever I do a bet because there's that one time wherein I accidentally placed $100 instead of $10 and that bet ended up losing. It wasn't a pretty scenario , and it made hyperaware of my betting amount since then because I was trying to make something and not lose it. If I were to do it again, I'm pretty sure I'd lose my shit and just stop betting altogether  :D

you will have the same feeling especially when the bet is still active. and all your prayer will be not to lose that best and if it is people like us that gamble with a small amount of money, even if I lose it won't bother me that much, and once I lose that game I will just humbly leave gambling for some time to recover from that lost and by all means not crossing that limit of not ending up becoming an addict. I always try to be content with whatever I have. and have seen a lot of people who during gambling are always scared and might end up even making silly decisions just in the name of wanting to win. and knowing fully that gambling is luck. and that no matter how you gamble if you are not lucky you won't win.

And that is the problem I have with addicts they forget that if luck is not on their side they should forget about it. and there are several ways you can put limit at least gamble small and try other things. not just gambling always. and people always love the exciting part of gambling once they win. the next thing is that they start gambling every day, before you know it your money is finished.

I personally would like to think most gamblers out there which may be struggling with control other their wager and their greed are self-aware enough to realize there are feelings which are not supposed to be normal and they need to deal with them. Besides ignoring those alarms in their heads. I also think many gamblers choose to garbain with themselves in order to cope with the losses and the fact they may be addicted to gambling. They say to themselves that they will quit gambling forever as soon as they break even off the gambling losses they have had, which is very unlikely to happen, but helps them to rationalize and not feel as bad.
Even in the rare case some gambler manages to break even, if they are addicted, they would continue to find another reason to continue to gamble that same day, without pause. They could tell to themselves that since they managed to break even then luck in their side that day, and it would be foolish to waste that luck, so they continue to gamble.
It is a lot of coping and self-delusion for them not to feel bad, but we all know that such perpetual circle or lies and losses cannot be perpetuated forever, the person will break down eventually and hit rock bottom.

Ideally, they are not supposed to hit rock bottom before seeking for help, though.

that's for sure, when they make big bets of course their goal is to get a big win too, actually the small or large number of bets played will not have an effect on the winning percentage, even if they bet with a high number of bets in my opinion it will only make money they run out quickly, indeed there will be wins that can be obtained but it is not certain and there is also no guarantee that by increasing the bet amount it will be easy to win. If you are lucky, you will win, even with a small bet amount.

I agree with you, because I also do the same thing, but gambling can change someone's mind in a short time,  therefore we still have to be careful even if we bet a small amount, because it doesn't cover our possibility of feeling emotions related to gamblings. remind ourselves no matter what  because everyone has different thoughts so I think everyone has their own way.  What is clear is that you should not be lulled by a victory that is only temporary.

The first thing you need to do if you don't want to get poor in gambling is to control your bankroll and your urge to increase your bet, only do it if you're 1005 sure of the outcome, this is where addiction stops you cannot control your addiction, in trying to win more you increase your bet and you lose everything so you want to get back even if you don't have funds you resort to taking a loan or selling your important items.
So if you cannot control your addiction you're in big trouble of losing everything.

Interesting, I think almost every gambler has experienced the same thing as you said in this thread. so you see, when we go through a gambling session, there are many things that will come to mind including increasing our bets. especially, if this is the first time. I mean, everyone who gambles will usually have their own standards and levels. By the way, it all relates to a person's experience in gambling, regarding bankroll, and also what games are being played. plus, what level of victory have we achieved? Instinctively, humans have an instinct to do something challenging. whatever it is, including gambling. We are often encouraged to increase our bets, especially when we are getting a good streak. but it all depends on our situation and conditions, because these things also involve the psychology of the gambling we do. Well, I can't answer for sure whether this is influenced by gambling games. or, our minds begin to be lulled, incited or carried away. For me, gambling is complex, we can be faced with different situations when conducting a gambling session.  as you said, the feeling of wanting to increase the stakes will always be present for every gambler. Just imagine, if the gamblers were like you said. they can even spend their weekly, monthly allowance or even borrow. and this is where it usually becomes a problem for gamblers, not just addicts. this situation is familiar to me personally, whether I gamble offline or online. the point, as I said above. Well, I often say that in almost every post. Gambling involves understanding, responsibility and self-control. although basically in practice it is quite difficult.

This is something pertinent in almost all gambler's mind including myself have also been in this condition were i was wanting to double my staking amount but at some points got controlled over it because I knew it was greed that was gradually rising from no where so what i did when gambling is that I won't credit my bet account above what i planned to gamble with otherwise you could be tempted to keep staking till you gets to your desired amount which you wanted by causing more lost to yourself.

By the time gambler's began to know the simple truth the best for them because from little content have been reading here it shows that people easily got addicted if not carefully controlling their attitudes and character it will lead to getting worst, gambling is a game that destroy people if they don't apply cautions while gambling.

Anything like 1005 sure ?
This is to show that is not possible for someone to have such value or to be real result as an outcome, naturally it's one thing that desperacy causes among gambler if they are too desperate to have a specific payout in their bets it would lead them to increase their bet amount in order to meet their targets without knowing that is just a total waste since gambling can not be defined as a game that is too certain for the outcome between players or even to the bettors. Well have learnt my less never to follow my instinct or that which keeps pushing me to increase my wager when next i will be placing my bets.

And the fact that happens to most irresponsible gamblers is that they spend their money gambling, they not only lose their capital to gamble, but they also leave debts so they can gamble. So apart from that, we must continue to improve our knowledge and skills in gambling so that we can always increase the possibility and potential of winning. However, there are more important things that we must have and master, namely good self-control, emotions, time and finances. And in my opinion, by making a double bet, it will only increase the losses we will experience and by making a double bet, that is a form of someone's greed in gambling and betting.


Yes, at least we must have a healthy mindset regarding gambling. Gambling is entertainment and we will pay a lot to be able to get this entertainment. For the sake of a healthy and responsible gambling activity, we must at least impose a limit on this activity, both regarding the time we dedicate to gambling and the money we spend to be able to carry out gambling. So that the gambling activities we do do not disturb the balance of life and other activities that are more important than gambling.

Every gambler deal with this problem. It’s not a feeling that can be “killed”, and if you have been gambling for years, you would know that the thought never goes away. It’s a feeling that you have to control, most times this voice comes when you are about to place a bet that you’re very confident about. It can only take self control to overcome such temptations of a bigger win. As a gambler, it’s vital that you have a fixed amount you’re comfortable playing with for the day,week/month and make it a priority not to exceed that limit.

For sure that all of us would really be having that kind of inner voices on which on the time that we do play where it would really be normal or something that everyone is really that experiencing.
This is why self control and discipline would really be crucial into this one because if you do let yourself getting on lose and would really be ended up on being impulsive then this is where
shit things do really start to happen. This is why we do really see different life conditions or situations of those gamblers on which there are ones who are really that able to have
such moderation and there are ones who do wreck out themselves.

This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on what you should gonna do because if you do find yourself that being
controlled with those inner voices and cant be able to control your emotions then this is where shit things happens.

This happened to anyone like voices on your head to increase the wager but I do ignore it because what I have to bet is what I have to bet, I don't have money elsewhere to bet more than I have. Its only when you don't have gambling discipline that you succumb to such voices on your head and I guess that many people has turn into debt because of this. This is even more reason why you should have gambling budget and bankroll to help you in times like this, if you deposit finish on time, you don't have reason to deposit another money.


But why do stupid things when you are stressed when you know the repercussions and the dangers of even gambling when you are tired. I don't gamble when I'm sick nor when I don't get myself because I don't see this gambling as a do or die thing. It.should be something of convenience and what you like because it's not even like trading that you can wait for price to go up in case you fomo, money loss in gambling can't be recover, it's not a wise thing I want to do with gambling.

It is a normal feeling, we always have the desire to increase the wager if we assume we have a good chance to win the betting. I also feel this, especially when it is about the football match. I always wants to increase my bet when there is a match between a strong team and weak team. But I always remember that sometimes the strong team can be defeated by the weak team. That's why I can stop the desire to increase the wager, I'm trying to keep realistically. So, it is all about how we can handle our desire by thinking the risks.

If you're an experienced gambler, I'm sure you have a good self-control. Moreover, if you already bets for many years. You must understand the risks and the potential things to happen when you're rising the wager.

Physical casinos are overseered by regulatory boards, and it's highly possible that they are being audited every so often just to see whether they are compliant and no cheating is going on. They would immediately be shut down if there are anomalies in the machine that they are operating, at least here in our country. Inspections are also regular, so you can be sure that they are really keeping things in check.

It's indeed perplexing why people might engage in potentially harmful activities when stressed, despite being aware of the repercussions. Sick or fatigued can impair judgment and increase the risks involved. Gambling is just a form of entertainment that should be viewed as a matter of convenience and personal preference rather than a high-stakes.

The irreplaceable nature of money lost in gambling aligns with the importance of making informed and thoughtful choices. Gamblers need to have a commitment to financial responsibility, and it's a mindset that can contribute to a healthier relationship with activities like gambling. Developing a mindset that values informed and thoughtful decisions can go a long way in preventing impulsive actions that may lead to financial losses. It not only mitigates the potential negative consequences but also allows individuals to engage in these activities within boundaries.

It's probably the dopamine kicking in and talking. It's usually caused by either an intense rush of emotions hence the high dopamine, or that you're experiencing a low after experiencing high dopamine so much that your gut wants you to hit those big wins once more (to experience it again) hence why you keep thinking you can win something you've never won before. It's not that you "can" but rather it's that you "want" to.

I've definitely felt it before. I just have various ways to stop it like having a limited budget or having a limited time to play. That way I can keep it strictly under control.

feelings like this are very common and are felt by most gamblers, but usually feelings like this appear when a gambler thinks about winning bigger and in the past I have felt like this but never now.
even though most gamblers feel this, this doesn't mean that your feelings are controlled by gambling, but it's just that greed starts to control you when you want to bet a small amount but your feelings say you have to bet bigger to get a bigger win.

therefore, we often share advice with each other to control yourself and gamble responsibly, which means you must have self control to avoid being greedy or feeling greedy and limiting the amount of bets you make.
the most important thing is, dont be tempted by everything in gambling, even though it looks very convincing, but remember, betting large amounts carries a big risk.

Yes, I have had that feeling before, and I believe is not peculiar to them and you but all gamblers. After all, who would know the next bet that would win, what if you use a small amount and later blame yourself? Many people do this, and some who were lucky to have used a bigger amount made more money. Again, what if you increased the wager amount and lost the money? Of course, a lot of people are losing their money to gambling, so we have to be careful, nothing is fixed or certain here.

Many thoughts will just be running through our minds as gamblers, and even in trading, if I planned to use a low lot size, in losses due to revenge, or through greed because I wanted to win more, I would increase the lot size. To the extent that I might increase it to x10, which is not good. In all, I think we should not fear or be greedy when we gamble, we should rather have plans before getting into the gambling house and never let emotion cause us to do otherwise.

Gambling is always good if we do not lose too much to the extent that we will be bittered with ourselves and everyone around us, why not preserve that habit and mindset even if we could win big? This is good enough since winning big in gambling has never been a certainty, so why risk too much with the mere belief that we might win? That is not a good mindset. We should rather zero our minds as the outcome could be to either win or lose, we should not strongly believe that it will be a winning bet as it often puts people in trouble.

this what gambling made people to have extra ordinary thinking either to add bets, to less bets , what if this what if that , if we did not follow our instinct and it goes better we will blame our self , if we followed our instinct and goes wrong we will also blame our self.

don't you see the scenario ? gambling is making people crazy and never contented .

Of course, if my intention in playing gambling is not for fun, I think that I would be lucky to win when I play or bet while I play slot games. Even though I know that I always lose when playing, I still hope for luck to win. me somehow

But if my motive is just for fun and entertainment, I will be happy to gamble, and I will be even more happy when I experience winning in my betting on slot games.

Here it is important to understand that it is better for players to play when everything is fine and they are calm, and not after a quarrel with relatives or friends, breaking up with a girlfriend, or something like that. If you enter with bad thoughts, the player will look for salvation in the game, his bets will be indifferent to him, such a player will lose everything completely, even if he has intermediate winnings. He came precisely to lose, and this is what he will achieve. And then his thoughts in his head will spiral to the very bottom, I don’t even want to talk about the consequences here.

It is important to remember that it is better to play with pure thoughts, not to use various substances or drink alcohol. It’s better to concentrate on the bets themselves, your playing strategy, this will probably help us achieve better results and make better decisions.

This feeling is the feeling of greed. Sadly, it is this feeling that accounts for 70% of why we lose in gambling. Each time I accumulate games, this is exactly my thought but then, 60% of the times I have controlled this thought, I have recorded winning.  

I will share my experience here. I remember a time I predicted a game from home and then took the game to the betting shop to stake, on getting to the shop, I told the betting attendant to hold that I wanted to add another game to boost the winning which I did and the last game I added ruined the bet ticket.

It is normal for a gambler to have such a feeling but the ability to control the feeling is what differentiates an experienced gambler from an inexperienced one. It is very easy for an inexperienced gambler to be guided by this thoughts than it is for an experienced gambler.

Situations have different output in your thinking, if you are winning your mind keeps telling you to bet, while if you are loosing their are lots of things going on for sure like me if I make a wrong bet, sometimes it keeps telling me that I should have not bet on that, this things is normal but you should not make bad results dictate your next move, meaning get over with the lost and focus.

The thought of trying to get a big win that could make them stop gambling forever is always in their heads. But the problem is, it's difficult to get that big win, and even though we try many times, we still can't win big easily. We might spend more first before we can get a big win, but many have used a lot of money but haven't managed to win a lot. That is why we must be realistic in not trying to chase big wins and just enjoy gambling as it should be. In this way, we can at least avoid serious problems in gambling where this problem has made many gamblers addicted to gambling, and they don't even realize that they have a gambling addiction. But if they have reached their break-even point, they will not immediately stop gambling but will keep trying because they have just reached their break-even point. But they don't realize that by continuing to gamble, they have the potential to experience more losses, which may increase because their desire to win will increase. And if they don't realize it, they will only experience huge losses, and many will even experience bankruptcy because they no longer remember how to control themselves.

That is why they must be able to remain aware of their gambling activities so that they do not experience even greater losses. Yes, they do need to get help before things get messy.

That's right, that's the beginning of losing in gambling. Because we can't control our greed, ultimately that feeling controls our brain to continue betting and increasing our bets whether we are winning or losing. and in the end without realizing it, all our money is gone.
This case occurs in almost all gambling players, only a few are able to overcome it and can take advantage of real winnings.

Same with many of us, the result is what influences and affects our thinking at some time and this has been a regular noticeable thing for us in the gambling industry must especially in sports bets, because that is where we get regular winnings than losses which have made many sport bettor to have a pre-determined mind toward winning when picking the games, this is not same with in house games.


The first thing that comes to mind is the risk and then the winning,  without much thought for losses or even making provision for such when it happens, but the main thing is that losses still happen regardless and it always comes with regret of what you should have done or should have not done while making the bets.

Yes and I think most of us experienced this kind of feeling while placing bets. Since I am a lotto fan it happens to me before when I thought of buying a ticket for multiple draws and unfortunately for me my feeling got my final decision and ends me up not buying what I intended to buy in town as the change I got from that bet isn't enough for the fried chicken I promised to my family. Instead of having the fried chicken 2:1 per family member I only got it 1:1 and that is where conscience hits me.

Greed is something we cannot control but we still can prevent it from taking over our gambling habits. Greed is simply a manifestation of our mindset; if you are too eager to make huge money out of gambling then for sure you'd be prone to it. Next thing in line is self-discipline; set a limit of how much you can afford to lose and an amount you'd be happy taking home with. We do all want to win money from the games we engage ourselves with however we do have our own standards when it comes to 'how much' are we referring to. If it is millions, then thing won't be happening if you'd be greedy unless you are lucky to hit jackpots. Most of the tme you'd only win a small percentage of that idealization and it is for you to decide whether you will bag it already or to continue as much as possible. Indeed you'd be unconscious of things along the way and that's why discipline is important; you would probably win less than your ideal but for sure you'd also lose less than what you fear.

Not to brag but I'm quite in good terms in this industry; not winning that much but also not losing big time. Result? I'm not stressing about money I am spending in gambling and at the same  time enjoying things more than what I was doing before.It is indeed envious to see how others are winning however whenever I am thinking of the amount they have lost, which are often amount I cannot afford, I am sticking with what I am doing at the present. It is okay to have second thoughts or hesitation 'coz what will matter is your action afterwards.

Yes I agree with this statement that greed is indeed a disease that most gamblers always have and apply especially when they manage to get a certain amount of winnings, sometimes people who have a proper understanding of gambling along with having good control and limits are not uncommon for them to end up breaking the rules they have made before that end up acting greedy, all of this is due to a lack of awareness when they are gambling and the sensation they feel in a winning situation really makes them carried away and finally they increase the amount of bets with the aim of getting a bigger amount.

However, regret will always come at the end and greed is usually what will more often lead gamblers to the end result that makes them regret, after that of course the inability to accept reality will be felt and some out of control actions such as gambling with the aim of chasing wins to pursue break-even will be their main choice which ultimately actually makes the number of losses even greater. So this is the danger if you can't maintain your mindfulness, no matter if you are losing or winning because there is still a possibility for you to become a "greedy when you win and impulsive when you lose" gambler.

Certainly, as the opportunities to win in the game increase the more the player is willing to risk more money.
A win on a bet of $100 or $1000 will bring you a much larger profit, but many people don't think otherwise... "What if I don't win?" How many chances will I be wasting?

As much as a person is willing to lose $1000, they need to consider that their chances of winning by betting $100 in $100 can be much greater than if they make a single all-in bet of $1000.

So, the advice is to keep your mind calm, resist these emotional impulses and follow your pre-defined betting schedule.
Sometimes it's good to follow your intuition, but in gambling they usually end up not being a good choice.

Of course I have had same, I know for sure that almost everyone who gambles might have had this thought running through their brains although mine only comes when I have started hitting some good run during that session of playing and that's when the thought will come to play telling me to increase the stake and it's because of thinking that I might win even more but many times the result always turn out to be the opposite of my expectations.

Honestly, the initial thought process for me is about the game itself. If it is a game that I am going to watch, I try to prefer to pick the side I hope that wins, and not that I think it would win. Obviously this isn't really a smart decision so I gamble less on those games, I want to see a team win, and betting on that game means I would have even more incentive to win that game.

This doesn't mean that I am going to end up with a win, I could very well lose, because who I hope would win, may not be the team that is better. However, if it is not something I wish to see win or lose, like if I don't care, if it is only for a bit of gambling fun, then I gamble more, and I try to bet on the favourites and then it is a totally different situation.

I agree, if you've got some intuition that you shouldn't bet anymore because you're going to lose more, you better believe that thought you have that tells you to stop. There are moment that you might freak out because you think that you're near to the luck that you are hitting and amount that you're trying to reach. It is doable and no doubt with that but what matters is that you have to look at what has a greater chance to occur and that's losing.

Actually yes and for sure many gamblers will feel that way  in short they are thinking that the more we put our bet then the more we will win a big amount of money. But in reality is that it's hard to control ourselves and that's the reason why we fall in to a trap and loss more money. cause once we win then we doubled our bet in order to win more amount but again we can not predict the outcome of our bet so it's better to be vigilant and wise in interms of gambling.

When placing a bet I always consider risk and reward.  If I lose, how will this effect me?  If I win, how will this effect me?  Is it worth taking the risk of losing and facing the consequences of my actions for the glory of the potential win?  Will I have fun either way or will I ruin my night if my bet doesn't land?  These are all things people should look at before risking their money on anything really.  If you ever find yourself in a position where a loss would effect your life or lower your mood, you're better off spending you money on something else.  Even hookers and blow will put a smile on your face...

If we have bet and not won the bet after betting several times, it would be better for us to stop first to calm our minds first and not force ourselves to keep betting because we will lose a lot, so it would be better for us to stop for a moment to be able to reflect on the games we play and set new strategies if we still want to bet again.

When we almost reach the winning target that we want, of course we will be very greedy in playing bets because we are sure that we will be able to achieve the target that we have set, but if we play uncontrollably, there is a possibility that we will miss out on the winnings that we will get because we are too greedy in playing. the game we are betting on.

But that's the problem when we're about to stop, the mind tells us to go for some more bets because of having that chance and what if we miss another bet that suppose to let us win.
IMO, this should be stopped and don't let that thought of yours eat your system because that's not going to give you a good ending. It's usually the problem of many gamblers and they end up being empty with their pockets for that reasoning.

I guess every gambler has experienced this. But if you have set a betting limit or budget, whatever you may hear deep within you, that won’t work anymore. After all, the choice is yours if you will listen to that and be carried away, or be responsible enough to think what is right from wrong. One thing is certain, if you don’t gamble on an amount that you can afford to lose, at least be ready for its consequences afterwards.

That’s normal in gambling, but you have to control yourself when gambling, if you can’t control yourself, then you will end up causing yourself more harm. When gambling, you will always want to increase your wager just to increase your potential win. Sometimes you will even think maybe it’s because you are not gambling with a huge amount of money, that’s why you haven’t hit a jackpot yet, and you will be tempted to increase the amount you are gambling with. Even if you increase the amount you are gambling with, you will still end up losing everything, which you will regret later. We shouldn’t be tempted to increase the amount we gamble with, and we shouldn’t be desperate to make money from gambling.

I do have similar feelings, but if you can always control yourself, then you will get over it. Both online and offline gambling are the same to me, if you spend more or less on gambling, then you will do that irrespective of where you are gambling. If you will be addicted to gambling, then you will definitely be addicted, whether you are gambling online or offline.

for someone to into this it depends on the amount they are using to gamble at the moment and if they used the amount they haven't used before to gamble and it happens they lost it then fine such person can never be in happy mood because he has lost what he weren't set for, so what happened next is either go home and think about what they have lost or go somewhere else to catch fun with people around until the mood is being eased away. That is it's very crucial and compulsory that before using any amount to stake it should be that win the game is lost he can withstand the pain without having to affect other people around them.

Actually what you said is true, but sometimes the mind can be deceiving, by following the wrong path. thinking how to reinvest in gambling instead of Bitcoin is not a good gambling habit. At least anything goten as profit from gambling should  be used for either Bitcoin investment or buy a useful thing that whenever you turn your eyes, you will know the importance of using money wisely.

That is why before someone starts gambling, he needs to set limits for his gambling and does not need to increase his bets even though whispers tell him to increase his bets. When playing gambling, you only need to use enough money so that if you lose, you don't lose too much money, making you feel sad because you have lost the money. If you can restrain yourself by not increasing the bet amount or depositing more money, you will only use enough money and will leave the casino once you have had enough of gambling. There is no desire to recover from losses or chase wins because you have had enough of gambling. This is very important for us gamblers to remember so that we don't exceed our set limits.

Yes, that's right.
We should be wise enough to know our limits especially if it will hurt our whole budget for a week or more. We don't want to spend that saved amount or else it will buy our stomachs which won't be filled or our electricity will be cut off if we don't pay the bill.
I've set my limits on how much I bet but there will always be demons that tell you to try and increase it for a faster way to chase the losses. Sometimes I yield increasing my bets for a bit, while there are times I put it back the the amount that I started betting. Casino games can sometimes fuck us up by eating a whole bunch of our budget and destroying our plan, that's when it will cloud our mind and think about betting higher.
The only problem is even if we increase the bet amount, it might not go our way, it could actually bury us deeper until the last drop of our remaining balance.
That happened to me a lot of times with RTP coming too late and I don't have enough funds to continue betting so I could recover my losses. The next time I am back it's a different day with a different route like everything restarted.

Yes I have had this kind of feelings several times when I was new into gambling. When the feeling comes in and I have extra cash I always increase my stakes. Sometimes it favoured me but most time I lost. It was after several losses that I made a resolution to stick to my initial budget of betting. So gradually I learnt not to listen to that feeling whenever it comes. It does come around every once in a while but I don't need to it anymore.

Yes, I have also faced this issue. This is actually normal and how it works in gambling. Most of the time this causes losses for gamblers. Only rear you could have a big win.

I also believe that the game's algorithm (it is made like this) takes these opportunities. That is why you notice while you are increasing your bets most of the time you will have a bigger lose strike.

But, I think there are also times that we bravely follow our gut and turns out that we are right. It can be luck and skill if we do a detailed analysis. If we are betting for quite some time, the scenario may have occurred to us a couple of times. So it is also hard to resist them, most especially if most of the results that we get are a win. If not, we will think not only thrice but a lot of times, and maybe still ended up not continuing.

For me, no matter how detailed the analysis I made, I won't still be confident with it because I know that sh8t can happen, especially here in gambling where manipulations are rampant. The only way I can do this, is if I'm involved in a sure match-fixing.

And even in the case of a big win, there are those who bet everything and end up losing. I have a friend who worked for years in a land-based casino and he told me stories of all kinds, of people winning a lot of money, continuing to bet and ending up losing everything and more. Others, after the big win, made a cashout, left the casino but showed up again two hours later, bet again and lost everything as well.

Not all stories were like these, though, there were also those who after the big win knew how to stop, cashout and not come back until after a week or so.


I'm not so sure about that. What I think happens is that we tend to want to increase the stake when we win. That is, you are betting x, you win ten times that amount and you think: 'if instead of betting x I had bet 10x, now I would have won 100x' so you raise the bet.

That's us why is not good to gamble without listening to human spirit, when you listen and control yourself through gambling you not lose much or be addicted with gambling, sometimes why some people lose in gambling is because they don't listen to their spirit and some time too they do take decisions or methods of another gambler use to win gambling thinking that everyone have same grace in gambling, so that is why I always tell people have a drawing board for gambling so that if they lose they will know exactly what makes them to lose in gambling and secondly they should also know how much suppose to be allocated to gambling for them to win gambling, so I believe that gambling is luck and if you have no grace you will not be opportune to win gambling

Well whenever I place my bet, I think about the jackpot that I may hit or the losses that I can potentially incur.

Normally, it is common for me to overthink whenever I place my bets. There is this mixed feelings of both regret and hope dancing around my brain in which I am ready to experience whatever the outcome may be. I tend to prepare myself always for the worst outcome to at least rationalize to myself that what I did was wrong. Then this kind of mindset quickly turns around whenever I bet and I incur some profit along the way.


This is precisely the reason on why it is recommended that you only bring a handful amount of money whenever you bet.

Not only does this prevent you from overspending but this also limits all of your expenses in a single day. Always limit what you bet on a single day and you will be surprised by the amount of money that you can save from it.

This happens to me a lot, and it turns out that increasing the bet amount isn't the best choice, even when I'm really confident. Talking about opportunities, I personally think they're something to be careful about. Instead of winning more, I've often ended up facing more losses. This has happened multiple times, especially when I go all in on sports betting. While the outcome is sometimes fun, I mostly remember it as disappointing.

I agree with you on this, that losing control and being drawn to the uncertainty of money is a sign of a gambling issue. It seems like I get tempted by the excitement and end up losing control too easily.

Crossed, yes that's for sure,
However, what comes to my mind when gambling or placing a bet is only one thing, namely winning and being able to get money, that's all, nothing else, even if the bet you place loses.

Everyone certainly knows that gambling means spending money daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly, for that reason there are various things that can cross people's minds when they enter the gambling arena, everything you mentioned comes to mind, but that's the world of gambling, the attraction to do it is very strong like a magnet, the point is that big wins always come.

This is the importance of having the right understanding of gambling, because by having the right understanding of gambling, to be honest, I don't think they dare to put an amount that exceeds their limits as you discussed here and it is clear that in the end luck doesn't come at the right time. , meaning that they lose at the end of the session so it is clear that there will be no feelings of happiness at all but instead they will be disappointed and regretful and usually this is the starting point for a gambler to be controlled by his own emotions due to defeat which is usually some action out of control that they are very likely to do because of their urge from uncontrolled emotions.

Yes, I understand that you are suggesting something quite good by telling them to immediately go home and find other entertainment to calm their minds, but we also have to look at the fact that it is not that easy to ignore the emotions that are taking over us, if it was easy to do then wouldn't it? Does that mean humans don't have desires? Obviously, this is a difficult thing because we are creatures of feeling and gambling is an activity that can stimulate the brain and mind as well as human feelings which in the end usually makes them unable to stop themselves from taking actions out of control. So what must be correct in my opinion is that you should never try to invest an amount that you can never afford.

I don't think there is a gambler who has not felt that way before, gamblers always have a feeling that they are making the right picks and that if they increase their wager, then they would have the chance to win more money for themselves.

It is recommended you gamble with only an amount you can afford to lose, do not fall for the urge of increasing your wager because you are not sure of the outcome of the game you are about to play, just be a responsible gambler.

Nothing is telling you to increase your wager than that of your very own mind and sometimes it can be misleading too, I don't want to listen to any voice in my head, I don't need to, only those who expect so much from gambling will want to win by all means, you shouldn't probably be gambling if your mind is saying you should take more risks, why can't your same mind tell you to lower your risk?

Whenever you want to gamble, always recite if possible that " gambling is by luck" maybe this will make you remember that it's all about luck and nothing else, when you think about the positive side you should think about the negative side too.

I have gotten passed the person that will let his mind fool him in gambling, it's possible that I get fooled in something else but not in gambling, you don't know what's awaiting you next, you should be risking money that wont cause you any pain, every profits is good profits, if you win it's great but what will happen if you lose? Think more about this as a gambler.

I think it's also useful when you gamble at offline casinos by bringing less money just to limit your budget so you don't exceed the limit, even though sometimes it's difficult too, anyone can still go home and play again with the remaining money at an offline casino, So this happens very often, that's why good consistency is needed in limiting the budget because it is important to limit the budget to free us from gambling addiction, playing outside the limits and recklessly.

Always make sure that the money used is no more than 5% of your income because you definitely won't regret it even if you lose it because the average gambler always uses a large budget and almost all of their income is used for gambling, that's the wrong way and very dangerous if it continues, whatever You have to play responsibly, such as playing calmly without targets and goals to win big, the most likely thing is to be able to enjoy the game and it is also good enough. everything must be done consistently because even if we bring a little money or make a small deposit it can still be violated. if you are not consistent everything will feel difficult.

It is not something that is special with only gamblers, when someone is having or engaging in a fun activity that requires them to spend their money and their money planned for that activity is exhausted, there is usually the urge to pull out more funds from other budget to try and have some more fun, it is the same with gamblers. This urge is a test of self-control, and every adult and mature gambler without self-control will fail this test. As a gambler, the more resistant you are to this urge to lose self-control, the harder it will be for you to become an addicted gambler.

Gamblers make decisions quickly without thinking about anything, including the risks and consequences they will receive later because the temptation of gambling is heavier than they imagine. And when they place a bet, they imagine getting a big win and a lot of money but in reality, they will lose a lot of money. But that doesn't stop them from gambling, and in fact, many of them still decide to gamble because they still want to try to win big. Everyone has different luck, so everyone can't win the same. That is why while we are gambling, we have to pay attention to how much money we use and always try to prevent large losses because it will hurt us if we experience it ourselves. And when we know how much funds are allocated for gambling, we will not try to gamble excessively because that will make us lose even more money.

Some people who experinced a lot of lose, some time that not making them to stop from gambling, or gambling with excessive. They may even fail to stop themselves from gambling when he think he can win. This is normal and happens more often. So, maybe for you, losing will teaching you not to gamble without preparation dan follow the limit that has been set. However, lose more often traps people into gambling continuously. 1 more time break the limit of money they must be spent, they will try another one.

True, when you're like in a carnival and even if you have that funds, exact amount that you're going to spend there. But when you have fun and you think that it's worth it to spend more then you'll be pulling out more funds.

And with this test for our self control, this is where many are failing because they can't help themselves but to keep on pulling more money out of their pockets when they are already having fun.

That urge to bring out some extra funds is actually normal with almost every gambler and fun seeker, it's actually not a new feeling i'v had a similar experience before Andi tried my best not to further use money ment for something else, at a time I had to take a walk and leave the place and that helped me save the money I would have used again.

If you have got some level of discipline, you will know how well to control yourself not to get hooked in the trap of using another Money which wasn't ment for such to fund such entertainment or gambling. This discipline which helps you get much self control over your emotions and urge to satisfy that desire will help you not get addicted and aswell not to loose or spend money you wouldn't have ordinarily and avoid some issues that would have come around such aswell.

The challenge in gambling is greed which makes you keep thinking about aiming for the biggest prize from the casino. I think this is a trap that will make you think you have a great chance of winning the jackpot. So you take the riskiest bet. When placing a bet what I think about is how much money I can afford to spend which I take from my entertainment fund. I never thought about winning the jackpot because I was worried it would make me addicted and lose even more money.

Wait, wait a moment...increasing the bet should not be something strange or bad, in fact it is a good gaming strategy, at least for traditional casino games, for poker other considerations come into play such as potodds, BB, buyin, etc. The context of the situation is very different.

But for traditional Casino games, it is normal, what is not normal is that you have $100 and start betting $1, first bet, then $5 second bet and so on.

If you make a correct betting strategy, increasing the bet is an alternative to playing, and that is why crypto games are so fascinating, because you can make initial bets from 0.00000001, if your casino does not offer that and your bankroll is $100 Look for that casino, there are some.

Do not create wrong matrices, increasing the bet is not bad if you know what you are doing.

Many gamblers have likely experienced the same thing. This kind of thinking involves mixed emotions such as positivity, doubt, nervousness, and greed. These emotions can make you think about increasing your bet for a chance of winning much bigger. Sometimes, it's also because of the adrenaline rush that you may want to increase your bet to have an even faster-paced game. Although it's normal to feel this way, it's important to try to control yourself during these situations, even though it can be challenging.

This happens from time to time since second guessing yourself is very normal, but how you deal with it is that matters the most, as there are many gamblers that change their minds because of those doubts and make some reckless debts because of them.

So in order to counter that, you need to have very present the reason why you make bets of that size, this way whenever you have those thoughts you can ignore them as you know very well that the amount you are betting is your limit, and going above it will cause you to not make as much bets as you would have liked during the week or bet more money than what you had in your mind, and both of those outcomes are not desirable.

But of course, if we have self-control, we can really limit our gambling in the field of crypto currency, even in offline casinos. This is what self-control behavior does to us. Because, after all, gambling will lead to addiction when we don't really control ourselves properly.

In addition to what I am saying, we can also remind ourselves that we are gambling responsibly, because we know that what we are doing in gambling is not just to find entertainment or comfort, but we can also train ourselves not to be greedy gamblers.

Yes that's right, I think almost all gamblers experience situations like this, and in my opinion some thoughts like this will be easy to arise when you are too excessive in responding to the victory you managed to get, then obviously the thought will arise to increase the amount of the budget because in such situations greed is really difficult to ignore especially if from the beginning you have a goal to get a win. On the other hand, we may already know the fact that if a gambler is too excessive in his gambling activities in any way such as chasing victory or applying greed to get something bigger then the final result will usually be very disappointing, after all gambling is a probability activity that does not provide any guarantee for gamblers to get a win, therefore some acts of greed are really not recommended because it will only make us feel excessive disappointment at the end of the session if you have too much hope. Therefore, I always emphasize to everyone that we must have self-control as well as some other limits and you need to be really firm in maintaining awareness, because if not then you will be very easy to get carried away on the wrong path.

The thing is that, as a gambler you should be conscious of yourself, don't always think that every of your stake will be successful that's deceit on the high side, like you said, everyone experience that when it comes to the point of placing a bet, you will battling with your yourself either to increase the stake or reduced it but if you are really in charge of things you will know what to do at this point, gambling should not be done with greed that why people spend more in gambling, as a gambler you should be able to mange the risk that's is accompanied with gambling, if not you will see yourself spending your savings in gambling and this might lead to huge debt if not handled we'll.

Two things always pop in my mind each time am gambling, the time frame I have to use in gambling and the rate I want to use for each specific bet am playing while gambling, from my first response which is about time frame, I will play bet base on how free and being chanced I am while gambling may my free time, there are time I will like to stake bets with the mindset of staying long to enjoy playing more and there are times it's just once and for all, I may not have that much time in playing, so I would prefer having it once and use the entire budget for the day that same time.

Those who have experienced defeat will try gambling again another day because they still feel they can win the game. That's why they will try again and even if they still lose again, they will still try again. Maybe their losses will increase, but unfortunately, they will not be able to realize it because their goal in gambling is only to win and win a lot of money. But it won't be easy because many other gamblers also have the same desire, so there may be competition between these gamblers. If they violate the limit of money they spend, it won't be a problem, but it will make them repeat it again another day so that their losses will increase, and they will have difficulty winning the gambling game.

There are two types of gambling I indulge in and I treat and look at them differently. Sports betting and other casino games.
My sports betting are of two kinds. One where I plan beforehand, had my stats, following every football leagues, teams, players, their performance against the opponent at home and away. I have proper budgeting and what to do on loss and what to do on win.
The next sports betting are as a fan where I have no sense of being right but thrill for betting on a team. It's much rarer and riskier.
My casino gambling are also either planned or unplanned. The loses are acquired on unplanned gambling are more but the amount I bet are on planned betting. When I'm gambling with no plans, there are no budget or strategy restriction stopping me from rage betting.

I admit sometimes I was in that same situation, especially at sports betting, and already made up a good analysis on the said match I was just to bet with. It's something that maybe I'll try to stake higher than my usual bet amount because I'm feeling lucky today or something like that.

Since I'm gambling already, why not try to face more risks since in the first place, I'm sure about my preferred bet.

If I successfully nailed it and won, then no regret. If lose, I still have no regrets but at least I tried. Better luck next time then.

Its normal to have such feelings during gambling, there's always this hidden voice assuring you of success and encouraging you to stake higher to earn better benefits, truth be told, that's the voice of destruction. If you listen to such voice, you might  ruin yourself. Every game  looks very encouraging until it turns out to be a loss. You might gain from it,  but as you continue entertaining such ideas consistently, you would observe that you're now gambling as a source of revenue and then the policy of gambling for fun is defeated.

Its advised to stick to  your initial plans and principles of gambling. If you win, its an added advantage and if you lose, you continue having fun. Increasing stakes unnecessarily births greed and increases possibility of  loss and frustration in gambling.

Yes it's frequent but you must be very careful with that because when you place many bets at some games like slots or table games, increasing your stake of few dollars or few dozens of cents can be catastrophic for your bankroll. Because the more you bet the more you are likely to encounter long streaks, and when it's a losing one your bankroll can be wiped out if your average stake is too high. 150 losing bets of $1 is a $150 loss while it's $375 for a $2.5 stake.

Everyone is sometimes in the same situation when it comes to this kind of thing because after all, even though there are limits that we always pay attention to and always emphasise that we are responsible gamblers, when we are already in a gamble, sometimes things like this are not controlled because we are too focused on gambling and too obsessed with a game so that our brains become out of sync because our focus is only on the game without seeing anything else.

This kind of thing is not strange because surely all those who are always in gambling whether it is in a land-based casino or indeed on one of the sites all still feel the same way like this in some conditions.

Are you new in gambling? If not, I'm sure you already experienced this before. It happens when we see that our results our great. Other than seeing more money in our account, we also think that maybe this is our lucky day? And we know it's not always like this every day. This is why some tries to follow their instincts.

The only problem is they don't have a control of their selves. I'm talking about when the results are going side ways. You are right that this is how gambling works. It's not always about being lucky, so it's better if we can just stay on our betting limits. Trying to bet more can also lead to a habit. It's money-consuming. This is why I force or control my self to never get tempted to it.

We are people who when we are doing something we see that it can be done in such a way so that it does not happen, that is, well, yes we play in a casino and we are always going to look for a better way to win, if we do not achieve it, sometimes that is when Self-control comes in, we are also aware that since we have some experience in games, we realize that things can be different , for Example , as a player, you know that when you go to the casino the first thing you do is have a Balance Ready to play. spend, second, if what you do is concentrate or spend everything because you let Yourself be carried away by emotions, then that is another thing, if in case you Cannot do more Things , then we have to see everything from the 'more point of view' Optimally, if you can't play and have control, then I think you shouldn't play anymore.

In this order of ideas, we are Players who have a lot to think about things, we always do what we please because when we play we do it with our own money, I don't know any player who plays with someone else's money , so these types of things are the ones we must see.

When we are playing or doing any type of thing, we are People who will be Affected First if we are winning, because if we are winning we want to keep doing it, we do not want to lose a single second, but win, second when that winning streak ends, we We must be smart, we know that a long losing streak is coming, in that case it is when the players lose the most, because they are so excited and feel so lucky that they do not accept that it is time to lose, then this is what the casino does , Well, practically it is only what the advantage of the house does , that is why when we are Looking for ways to do things bette r, that is why we are People who are always going to look for the best for us, it is logical.

I'm sure many of us have experienced something like that, but they don't notice much because their attention is focused on betting and gambling. That's also one of the reasons I see why many of them lose their control even though they have a plan in advance of what to do when it comes to gambling. I agree that we need to stick in our initial plan and principles, no matter hoe many desctruction may come, Always remember what's the real reason why started in gambling.

People often forget the reason they ventured into gambling and start doing something else which in some cases turns around to their detriment but then if only they were disciplined enough to stick to their reasons maybe they would have become better gamblers and thats why discipline is very much important while gambling.

Something I have similar experience where I will have a different plans on what I want to achieve a d do while gambling but on getting to the casino both offline and online I see enticing options and I begin to struggle between my decision and what I'm seeing at the moment then I will literally end up trying both of them but I don't allow it happens all the time because I'm aware how much it could cost me if I continue in such light all the time but it's very important you always stick to your plans it will save you some money and help you stay responsible gambling.

Deliberate gambling to momentary excitement is shorter than we imagine. Being able to resist casino temptations has been a challenge for me. But understanding this challenge is half the battle.

Before gambling online or offline, I have a plan. Developing the discipline to follow this approach has taken time. Not failsafe, but setting time and money constraints has protected me. I get the thrill without the spill.

Fostering fun, responsible gambling is crucial. Ride comfortably without losing sight of the shore. Shared wins and failures can create a culture that values discipline as much as gambling. The key is to play smartly and have fun.

The view of the experienced people was different towards the game of the new gamblers,because most of the fresh gamblers will get depressed on the game.The gamblers should understand the loss of money can be recovered in the gambling,because the gambling is the game.But some of the new gamblers start to revolt against the gambling site in the social media and forums about their loss.The gamblers should understand their loss if they take part in the gambling,because the game had two sides like the coin.The gamblers should not use the money which is needed one for their real life expenses in the gambling site.

That feeling that you should increase your stake and that that bet could probably be the life changing opportunity for you is what is planted in the mind of every gambler and that is why the ones that are not disciplined ends up being gambling addictors. It is always advised that all gamblers should have a budget and probably stick to their budget in order to control their emotion while gambling. But with the thoughts that you could win a jackpot if you go to a casino with a certain amount of money you would likely end all of them in that casino. That's very thought is not a good one and it is good to be killed in the mind of all the gamblers in order to make them gamble responsibly. They should understand that no type of gambling is sure and that is why it is called gambling. So always comeble with what you can afford to lose.


Unlike you what comes to my mind whenever I want to gamble is that I am going to waste that particular money that I using for gambling. Is why I will always jokingly say to my friend that let me go and waste some money. How sure the gambling seems to be I call it a waste but if in the end it turns out that I can win I will take it but if it's finally wastes I will take it in a good fate because I anticipated it . This could be a real definition of gambling for fun.

Perhaps it was an inner sensation that made you wonder why you felt drawn to gamble and stake money, even though there was no assurance you would win. For me, there's a combination of feelings that come into play when we gamble and place our bets, such as excitement, anticipation, or the need to make up some money lost.
As a result, I believe it is best for us to be responsible with our gambling by creating boundaries, understanding the chances, and choosing to follow logic over gut feelings. In fact, we should approach gambling as a kind of pleasure and fun rather than letting our emotional losses control us. It is appropriate that we don't have high expectations for it.

I don't feel excited when I am placing a bet because I hold this belief that any money placed is already lost and so, excitement only comes when I win.

Although, sometimes I anticipate winning because this feeling is normal for gamblers. If there is no anticipation I don't think any money-chasing gambler will even gamble.

That is a problem for every gambler, bumping into what they had planned beforehand. In my opinion, this is very natural because emotions play there. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be able to control our emotions in every gambling game and be able to enjoy the game without feeling cheated because we experience more losses than wins. People very easily change the bet amount up and down just to satisfy their desire for revenge without thinking that the closer they are to losing a lot of money because of their careless actions. Or worse, you will look for a loan to bet again until you really don't have any money to play with.

The bottom line is that this will happen to every single gambler out there making this a very common occurrence, so we need to find ways to deal with it, otherwise the bets that we make will be way higher than what we wanted on the first place.

Luckily there is a very easy way to deal with this, simply by setting a limit to how high we want our bets to be during this session and taking a few minutes after each bet to calm our minds, in the case we experimented a bad loss, is probably more than enough to avoid that outcome.

I have already killed this feelings because if not properly taking care of it could results to something very disastrous to life without us even knowing when the effects is being nurtured in our life. Gambling is above feelings of life, most times whatever that speaks through our heart doesn't directly related with the gambling ethics but we try's as much possible to implement them into gambling to becomes reality knowing too well it would never come to live as we might think instead is causing serious damage to us.

thoughts like that are always felt most gamblers and this is why you and most other people say that having self limitations would be the best way to avoid the impact of bad thinking like what you say here.
planning budget limit or setting limit on the number of bets would be a good strategy to pressure our minds to get used to these limits and not have assumptions that the next bet will win even though having thoughts like that if we already have limits that we are used to doing I'm sure someone the gambler will not do anything he thinks that can lead to long term harm.

Well you have a point and that's valid since your statement is correct, All the money that we've placed is already considered as lost, that's why some people only gets the excitement once they win. Many gamblers especially those who used to gamble for so long, doesn't experience the excitement feeling anymore, what they feel is the nervousness and anticipating feeling every time they play, one of the reason is that, they are hoping to win because some of them placed the only money that left to their pockets.

Stop getting emotional as a gambler, if you are the type that still listen to your head in gambling you are not in control, don't make gamble decisions because of your current situation, it's what gambling want you to feel like, lose control and start making the wrong choices, you need your calmness and this is only possible if you stand on your believe that small money in gambling is the way.

It's always those who want the best results from gambling that get caught in this stupid thoughts in their heads, do not listen to your thoughts, find a easy amount that suits you, the type you can easily afford and don't ever risk more than this amount no matter what happens later.

Even if you lose all the amount, you are to happily move away and accept that today is not your lucky day but there is always a tomorrow, you don't know how many more losses are waiting for you, if you have risks too much you will feel frustrated, this is because you use large amount, but while the losses are passing away and you using small money you will be able to keep up, until you finally get lucky.

what you say is correct. but unfortunately, situations are sometimes difficult to predict. even when we have tried and consciously made a plan for betting allocation. Sometimes we are so out of control that we bet more than our previously planned allocation.
we could have decided to go out defeated and come back the next day. but the situation may be different when we are on a winning streak. it feels like we are on a lucky day, and that makes us keep playing until we forget to take the winnings. Of course, every gambler has had an experience like that.

We must be able to understand and accept that hopes cannot always be realized because hope or plan is only wishful thinking that will not necessarily come true.
When everything fails or does not match expectations and we can accept it, it is clear that emotions will not arise and when we can accept whatever results happen, we will be able to have clear control and be able to maintain everything.
The pleasure of gambling can only be felt if we gamble for fun and when another goal of gambling is to make money, then when we get results that are not suitable, we still cannot get that pleasure.
A gambler habit is to consider money as the most satisfying result and winning is happy success, but this is not easy because winning in gambling will always have smaller percentage than losing.
It is much better to avoid all careless attitudes and be able to control yourself whatever happens, this can have quite good impact in the future.

Definitely,I think this is a hard rule to follow as a gambler, because as your doing it, there's an inner spirit that energized and encourage you to do more,and you can't resist it.
When placing my bet what comes to my mind is to double my earnings but when I fail to hit my target I don't force it,cause if I do so I'll be controlled to use all my allocations and savings for staking and betting more and I end up loosing?No.
So I work with my mind and I can control it myself,some can't do so that's why they find it hard to get loose from it as it cause havoc to them.

Every day might not be your lucky day,if you win today you might as well loose tomorrow but that doesn't prompt you to use your entire savings to keep gambling cause your aiming at something bigger.

OP, I never think of gambling in online or offline casinos. But a few days ago my desire to gamble in online casinos was awakened. But I tried to get an idea from one of my closest friends to gamble in online casinos. Then I found out that in online casinos, gambling is not safe. Then I instantly changed my mind to not gambling at these online casinos. Basically I prefer to bet on cricket and football games. Because I have enough knowledge about football and cricket game. But before I place the bet I think that I can definitely win the bet on today's match and get good profit from the bet.

Any reason why you think that online casinos are not safe enough for you to gamble? It is true there are casinos with a bad reputation out there, and if you deposit your coins in one of those casinos then you are never going to recover your money.

But as long as you check this forum and gamble only in some of the most reputable casinos and you follow their TOS then you do not really have anything to fear, since those casinos are managing millions of dollars each day and they will not risk losing all of that money just to scam a single person.

It seems that there is a desire within you that makes you want to try gambling at online casinos. But after you think about it, you change your mind about not betting at online casinos. This is a normal thing that gamblers encounter when they start gambling and that feeling will usually prompt you to gamble at a certain casino. And when you are in the casino, some whispers say you can win so you immediately start gambling. But the reality is that you don't win but instead lose, but that doesn't alert you, and instead, you continue gambling while saying that your win will come after the next few rounds. But the victory doesn't come and ultimately frustrates you because you don't get the win. And that's what happens to many gamblers so they continue gambling.

In my opinion, when placing a bet, of course the win they can get, hopes that the bet placed can get a big multiplier which can make them get a profitable win, but with this, many people are trapped by this, they hope but it doesn't happen, It's true that in reality, the chance of losing is greater than the chance of winning, so it's natural that many things happen but don't live up to expectations.

That is indeed the main problem and it has been discussed a lot in other threads, because gambling must be done with good self-control, many gamblers experience big losses because they do not have good self-control. It's good to force yourself to be able to refrain from gambling, because it is very rare in my opinion for anyone to be able to restrain themselves from the temptation of gambling, especially if that person has already gambled and has won at gambling, of course refraining from gambling is not easy. because it requires good self-control.

MainIbem, you should be little bit more precise when asking such question. Because while placing bet in sports betting, table game, slots or default house games, gamblers have different thoughts. Otherwise there is nothing much to discuss, as each gambler thinks only "hope my bet wins now" about. Different games makes gamblers think differently. In poker, gambler thoughts are mostly strategic. During slots or house games gambler can thing about anything, but while placing sports bet, gambler usually think about sports event and evaluate the game.

For sure, people want to wager with more money in a bet because they think they will surely win the bet and if they put more money in the bet then it will be like more winning amount. People forget that by increasing the wagering amount, the risk of losing also increases. There is no way you can tell that a game will be won by a certain team with 100% surety. If it was possible to know this, everyone would have invested every asset in the bet, but this is not how the betting works. As you can have upsets and results of matches, that you never anticipated.

Gamblers' mind is full of greediness and no matter how hard we try not to put extra money in the bets, sometimes we make these types of mistakes, and sometimes we lose a lot of money. Even if by wagering more, one can survive and win a few bets, for sure, if he continues this way, he will make a big loss on one unlucky day.

That is how gambling works. Especially if you always lose, you tend to get greedy and try to recover all the money you lost. Gambling wants you to get greedy; it wants you to think more; it wants you to crave more winnings. Well, yes, if you win, it is great for you because you gain a lot of money, but what if you don't win? You will have nothing.

That is why you need to have control over yourself; you should have discipline when gambling. Gamble what you can afford to lose, and yes, wagering more money can give you a good amount of profit, but don't do that. There are no sure wins in gambling; always play "low bet, high odds." It won't cost you that much because you are just gambling with a small amount of money.

The urge to gamble has a different meaning for people with different financial backgrounds and capabilities. If you come from a rich family and your financial capabilities have no limit, the urge to gamble would only be to get some entertainment because you can't think of winning more money from gambling when you already have a lot of it.

On the other hand, if you are from a poor or middle-class background and you don't have much money, the urge to gamble will mostly be based on hopes and dreams of winning something significant and possibly changing your life for once.

A person would also have different emotions based on how they see gambling and their reactions would be based on their emotions.

It is definitely a good advice if gamblers plan to make big bets with small amounts of money as there is a chance of winning more money and the fear of losing is reduced. But some gamblers spend more money on low odds bets to ensure their win. Here the probability of winning is high but if lost, the gambler stands to lose a huge amount of money. When a gambler gambles, he has to make all the decisions about his gambling. Any odds are not a problem if he keeps himself under control and conducts responsible gambling.

Greed is closely related to gambling. When a gambler gambles, his latent desires are attacked by greed. Uncontrolled gambling and excessive greed both are major obstacles for gamblers. There is of course no substitute for controlled gambling to bounce back from such adversity.

The desire and the financial problem in our life will come,because we are using the money which satisfy the desire and the financial problems.But thinking such things will leads to the pressure to the gamblers.So they will start to play the game with the emotions,the emotions on the gambling was not accepted one.It was most important for the gamblers to play the game without keeping anything in their mind.Because the gamblers will make the correct prediction without the mistake.Many gamblers start to play their games after the money arrived to their wallet.Instead they need to wait for the good mindset to play the peaceful gambling.

It’s clear that I’ve had this feeling before, it’s happening now, and it’s going to happen in the future. You always want to bet a lot and win a lot. But it is also obvious that if you are an adult, then you evaluate not only potential profits, but also potential losses, that is, you are aware of the risks and will never go all-in or bet money that you need for urgent needs.
Life is full of temptations (and this applies not only to gambling), but we are given intellect so as not to do stupid things and act rationally (but we must admit that not everyone is given intellect  ;D ).

Of course, that has been experienced by almost every gambler. Moreover, if their level of confidence is high, it is possible that it will cross their minds to increase their bet in the hope that the results will match their feelings.
 But is it a sign of addiction? I think that could be possible, because it will make people continue to look for funds to be able to prove their feeling of beating gambling.
I also often experience this, but fortunately I can still endure it, because I realize that self-confidence is not enough to win at gambling.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and this isnt something that would really be solving out some poverty problems or loan problems because once you do then you are just fucking up yourself and putting into that tough or shit situation even more. On the time that you would really be doing gambling then you shouldn't really be thinking something that do pertains about getting rich or making it as an income or having those winnings because it would really be just that making you desperate on having this kind of mindset on which this is something that you must be avoiding in the first place.
Once you do have these kind of things in mind thenyou are just basically be putting up yourself on such risks and this is something that must be avoided.

By increasing the amount of your wager already a sign of addiction? That can't be right. This is only a sign of being greedy. Addiction is a different thing for some who experience it by playing non-stop and keep thinking about gambling. Even without money, the only thing they have in mind is gambling. Increasing the amount of your bet is only a sign of being greedy because you assume more winning by trying your luck.

Goodness, I haven't.

I haven't come to that point of thinking to borrow money just to go gamble. I may say that I am fortunate with my feelings and control but I wouldn't go deep pockets to gamble and go to that point of asking a loan to gamble.

It's true that many gamblers come to that point of their lives when they're too emotional and can't get over with their losses. That is a hard feeling to resist and many go into deeper feeling and losing themselves not just in gambling.

This is probably not a good feeling. Sometimes intuition can tell us something contrary to a reasonable decision, but if it concerns betting, then most likely this voice is not worth listening to.
In any case, I wish you success and wisdom. Think with your head and keep your emotions under control or they will control you

We desire if we keep thinking on that thing, and the financial problem will come if we use our limited money on fulfilling that desire, if it requires money. If it gives us a pressure, then why not stop? Continuing might only affect your plays and you will lose the money that you can't afford or is intended for different purpose.

Playing with a clear mind won't still mean that we are now going to win surely, this is why it is still important to use only the money that are considered as excess from our budget. If you think you are not ready yet, why would you deposit? That's risky because the site can get hacked or we don't know what if the casino messes up with our balance, etc...

And we must make an effort to not reach that point, because once a person begins to ask for a loan to gamble then this indicates they already have a massive problem, a problem that will get even worse.

Because even if they were to get lucky and win some bets with that money they got as a loan, if they do this enough times then the day will come in which they will lose it, and instead of realizing the dire position in which they are in, most likely they will keep asking for more loans until no one is willing to help them anymore and end up with an unpayable debt.

I think it's a hunch, everyone will have it and it will be different depending on the moment. For me, when I lose consecutively at gambling, I often have a premonition that I will lose the next game, and my confidence almost disappears. But on the contrary, when I'm winning and my confidence increases, I have the feeling that I will continue to win.
It is not excluded that there are special premonitions that suddenly flash in our thoughts when we are about to bet, but it is often difficult for us to recognize because our psychology has been largely disturbed due to the results of previous games. I believe that hunches that suddenly come to me when I have not yet started playing any game will have higher accuracy, those are my personal experiences.

And we consider it the most fatal mistake in gambling, how small the money borrowed for gambling is a mistake, even if we have more income but when we borrow money from anyone to gamble, there will be a bad habit in the future, this is triggered by the thought that maybe it will be given a win, borrowing a small amount feels that there will be no problem with the pain, and the longer it is spoiled like you describe it, it will end very badly.

And the reaction is very bad when getting a sustainable win, feeling confident about receiving another bigger win will make us crumble easily, this is common for us as gamblers, including people who already have a sense of responsibility in gambling, thoughts like that must exist but they can reject it because they know when to stop.

The urge to gamble should only be for fun and there is no need to use a lot of money because that will only make someone gamble longer than usual. They may forget to stop their gambling activities because they are too busy gambling and use up a lot of money. This should have been prevented because it could result in them experiencing bigger losses.

This will happen to people who have a lot of money or those who don't have a lot of money because they will think that gambling is the only activity they can do to get pleasure. Even when they place bets, they should be able to remember that they come to gambling just to have fun and not to make money.

And if they can't control their emotions, they will only be more eager to continue pursuing victory. And even if they lose, it won't stop them from continuing to gamble so it will also make them run out of money faster than they imagined.

If we can use money well and correctly, we will not only use money to gamble just to satisfy our desires and to double our money from gambling. We will think about using money to provide something useful for our lives and not just to get pleasure. After all, there are things we can do that can also provide enjoyment so we don't always need to resort to gambling for fun. When we place a bet, we should be able to think about using the bet to have fun and not think about making money even though we can win from the bet. And if we can have the right mindset in using gambling, we will also be able to have fun from gambling and will not experience any problems from gambling.

I'm sure all gamblers have experienced the same things or feelings as you are experiencing. However, how to respond to this depends on each individual, if we are easily swayed by beliefs that were previously true, then indirectly we will be dominated by victory by playing continuously, even though in fact winning is better for us. to just leave it like that. a place to gamble and have fun, but if the gambler is not controlled with good thinking and understanding then he will stay there and play irregularly.

Let me say that you are the one who is expecting more while the reply to what the OP asked is right in front of you. You should know that this is a general question and, not a directional one, so you capture your responses generally as it is. But if at all you must be directional in some of them, I believe you are free to do that on your own but not believing that the OP is not right. For me, it is all good, it is just a means to know how gamblers generally feel towards betting before they do it and even after committing their money to it. I see this as more of a survey though I do not know the main intention of the OP to have asked it, regardless, let the fun continue.

Or maybe you never read the OP because he even shared his thoughts and the reason for the question, and I feel that he was fighting a spirit/mind at that time of his betting. I also felt the same way when I started gambling, and that was towards some certain lotto games before it later stopped. I've also never been a victim of any before. This is because I make sure that I wager the amount that will not hurt me if I lose it and that has been the best key for anyone to overcome any psychology of gambling whether it is positive or negative. I see no reason why I should wager too hugely because my mind tells me to do so at the time of betting. I act based on my plan and it doesn't change.

When making decisions then it would really be that entirely be that depending on you because not all would really be that the same about their own views and impressions towards gambling.
Some be thinking and be that desperate on making money and some are really just that playing for the sake of fun nothingless.  Results or outcomes would really be that depending
on how you do treat up gambling because if you are really that desperate on making money or profits with gambling then this is where problem do actually come from.

Its none others business if you do want to bet, on how you do bet and what behavior you could have. The only thing that you should really be mindful
is that you wont really be excessively be that engaging into it. People do mess up their lives due to this very sole reason.

It is often and I assume that we are optimistic about our bet and the only thing that appears in our mind is to win that is why most of us are disappointed with results. That is why I could understand why new gamblers got angry and why many of us raise their tempter as it was hard to accept losses when we already thing about winning. But this is gambling life, dare to understand that situation that we can't be all right as winning is just a bonus. That is why it is important to control and emotions and not get too attached to gambling in order not to feel hurt when we lose and also not to be overjoyed if we win.

Exactly, it all depends on us. A responsible gambler knows his limits and bets without any hesitations or nonsense like trying to convince yourself to bet more. The plan should be followed. We always have plans before entering into something and that's it. Maybe only make adjustments with our winnings but not with our gambling capital or even worse the money that is not supposed to be touched.

When I place a bet, I just think that I want to win that's it. I am not hoping for miracles to happen like thinking about betting more so I can earn big. I only bet what I can afford to lose. This is actually simple and people should not make it complicated.

It is always tempting though, but no matter how the situation might be, there is still need to play responsibly because if you dont control yourself you may end up loosing all your fund, hoping for a great win mean while Gambling is a game of luck and trying by error.. for me I have been in that shows before and I know quit well how it use to be. I have been tempted to play such a game and win and also been tempted and lost, so there is no big deal there. What really matter is satisfying or clearing your doubt no matter whether it played or not. Because if it play why you didn't bet it, you will be angry at your self. But if you play and it cut you will clear your thoughts.

Yeah increasing  the money might multiple ur earnings sometimes but what comes to my mind other than this is to win,just win so I can get a double of my funds used for it .
A certain time I want to gamble,I invariably use a little amount tho and won at first,was so amazed so instead of collecting my earnings and leave I had it in mind to use my proceeds to stake again,which was a double of what I use to Play but the results this time around was shocking.i lost the entire game and I had to balance up cause my stake was above my expectations.

Do that's it,I took time to assimilate what had happened,my friends that were around were just laughing at me cause I would have just followed up and take my first win and leave but I learnt from it tho.

What comes at mind in times is that you will be thinking that when you didn't follow your instinct when due you might feel something important is missing and if you don't satisfy yourself at that moment you might think the game has played, if mistakenly it plays out correctly then when next if such happened again you don't mind even going to borrow money to gamble with the mindset of what happened previously will repeat itself again. I have actually learned my lesson not to be always controlled by such feelings when placing bets.

To me, it is more about how you think about the games that happened previously. Like if a team is about to play, I just check the last 5 games, and then injured players list, and then the booked ones. If you could do all that then you are going to get a sense of what will happen, and that should be easier to handle. Of course it is not going to be done in a single day, but it is going to be a good dedication and understanding if you get used to it.

I still miss some of them at times, like forget about booked ones could be the most common one, but I just do it. Like I thought Salah was back when he wasn't and wagered and lost, it is just common. At the end of the day, you take it step by step and you get better results from it whenever you possibly can.

I would like to give more general information about both feelings I experience;

First of all, when I gamble especially in sports betting, like every gambler I think and evaluate how logical it would be to increase the bet amount considering the profit I will get if I win. In this way, I dream of other expenses that I can make by earning more money in case of a possible gain. Of course, on the other side I think about what impact this loss will have on me if I lose the bet or what I can do with the amount I intend to use for this bet. This prevents me from placing lower bets on bet slips that have a low probability of winning.

Finally, I would like to finish my message by adding that I generally don't focus on winnings in slots and similar games of chance and I rarely increase my bet amount if I feel like a free spin is coming. So, in general the thoughts and feelings I mentioned only occur in gambling types with a certain profit rate. In games of chance, which are completely based on luck and I don't know how much profit I will get, I almost never increase the bet amount by thinking optimistically.

This is a common sports betting scene. I understand the appeal of bigger profits vs losses. A strategic dance, right? Evaluating the logic of betting more for larger gains is sensible, but loss is always possible. Many have disappointed themselves due of optimism.

With games of chance like slots, your strategy seems conservative. Its smart considering such games' unpredictability. I like a balanced approach: knowing when to take chances and when to pull back. My experience has taught me not to let excitement outweigh financial risks. Remember that the long-term influence on your finances is as important as the immediate gain.

Yes but the bottom line is "sometimes" means it's not often and it's not easy to get and that means if you try 10x tries with bigger money then the probability of winning is probably only 2 - 3x and that means you're likely to lose the rest of the tries, you can do the math and you can see that the number of losses is much bigger than the wins. I think what you are thinking is that everyone experiences that when they manage to get a win with a small budget then it is a situation that will be very tempting for them to bet a larger amount with the aim and hope of getting a bigger win.

In such a situation of excitement, a gambler will usually ignore the aspect of possible risks and therefore they become brave to increase the amount of bets without any consideration from various sides, and when the session ends then you will find out the real fact that it turns out that what you expected did not happen, and this is the scenario of a gambler doing a lot of actions out of control because their expectations did not come true. Therefore, it is not advisable to bet large amounts regardless of the situation because gambling is an activity that can make it difficult for you to ignore all the temptations that many gamblers end up with addiction because they cannot control themselves when in this situation.

Checking injuries and last games? Basic. Ever considered player morale, weather, or home vs. away performance? The gold is there. Forgetting booked players? Mistake by novice. Your method is flawed, and Salah not playing isn't it. The foundation of your approach. Layers, analytics, and psychology are needed. Sports betting is science and art, not a gamble. Without evolution, you're just another loser. Step up and dig deeper - you could get the outcomes you want

Of course, when we win, dopamine flows out, which causes us a steady sensation of excitement and eagerness,  and we are much more likely to engage and gamble again. Because we believe that we have accomplished something when we win, and this helps us feel more confident. right?
People who wager money as a sort of entertainment and who view the money they spend as a necessary expense of having fun are, in my opinion, the reasons why money they have already bet is also regarded as lost.

Because of this, when we gamble, we should only use money that we can afford to lose and set a limit. Additionally, we shouldn't spend money that is intended for our basic needs. I think it's important that we have self control when it comes to gambling, and I hate people who are so focused on themselves that they can't even make a small adjustment in their behavior. They are not concerned with what may occur the next day; rather, they are simply focusing about the happiness and fulfillment they receive today.

You are right, this is literally a strategic dance and it is a situation that can be encountered frequently, especially in betting slips with a high probability of winning. Of course, considering that there is always the possibility of losing, there is a tedious dilemma of increasing the bet amount. Especially depending on the result, thoughts such as "I wish I had bet with a higher amount" or "I'm glad I didn't change my bet amount to more" occur. Especially in sports betting, although the outcome seems guarantee, we shouldn't think completely optimistically because even a bet with a low odds of 1.01 will always have the possibility of losing.

In games that are completely luck-oriented, there is no other option than relying solely on feelings and making changes in the bet amount accordingly but I still think that the possibility of feelings being wrong is quite high and it shouldn't be forgotten that these games are completely luck-based.

Attempting to increase your wager is a common thing that happens to every gambler. But this needs to be controlled, by either bankroll management or limiting the amount of bet you can place for yourself.

In gambling we will not see the players win in the long run so increasing the wager after every bet means a devastating upcoming loss. So if you think you are losing too much, just cash out and leave. If you won big, also cash out and leave.

The increased number of bets you place, the increase in risk you have to face.

It's why we need to have limitation when playing gambling to avoid any problems that can occurs. We can feel excitement but if we playing gambling for a long time, we will not feels that because that will changes into something different, chasing the win or recovering the lost.  When playing gambling, it is normal we are hoping to win but we must realize the fact that winning in the gambling games is difficult and not many people can win. If we can use the money we can afford, we will not have any intention and only want to spend our time by playing gambling. We will not spend too much money because to chase the fun because we have self-control to avoid big losses.

not only with the number of bets, sometimes it also occurs if you choose another option, things like this are very common and in the next game we are carried away in the situation of trying a higher game and higher bets, and this is where the main problem point will arise, It's better not to follow your own desires

I have never have such a feeling of increasing my wager because I knew gambling is a game of chance and there is no any guarantee of a sure winning bet  I usually a have fixed amount of money I use to play a gamble with for instance I played a soccer bet last weekend by a placing a bet that Man Utd would defeat Fulham at Old Trafford having analyzed their head to head past records despite that I used a fixed amount of money to place bet not minding that Man Utd has a brighter chances of winning the match unfortunately I lost that bet because Fulham against all odds defeated Man Utd right in front of their fans so I can't never be tempted to increase a wager.

Nope, never had that kind of feeling when I am placing bet,  but there are times that I would think that if I had bet a higher amount then I would have won much more.
There are also times that I would feel like I want to continue on gambling, but I also want to withdraw or stop and take profit.
The amount of money that I would bet depend on the game that I would play.

When placing a bet, what comes to my mind, initially when I started out was that it is a win win for me but as I grew I got to understand that the game is entirely different, when I want to place a bet now, I consider it fun and don't over leverage, if it comes, it comes, life goes on

However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos? The feeling to increase the wager it happen to me like every time and this feeling also happen to me after I win the bet there are always feeling like "Oh man I should increase my wager" but I believe this part an of gambling addiction

While placing a bet what comes to your mind. ? It is simply I just want to win the game hahahah

On the time that we are still that newbie to gambling then we would really be normally having those kind of thoughts and impressions into our minds on which we do really that believe that we could really be able to have those winnings on high chance manner and dont think up about losing.On the time that you would really be experiencing those loses then this is where realization would really be happening and its a normal phase i should say. We've been through all of these kind of situation or moments on the time we do spend up some time with gambling. Placing up bets should really be something that entertaining and something that gives out that kind of thrill because if you are really making out bets and getting stressed whether you do win or lose then better stop it.

Gambling should be fun and not something that gives out anxiety and extreme stress because it did really remove the overall essence if we do speak about entertainment and enjoyment. People would really be usually be focusing too much on how to win. For casino games then you can really have those fast or instant results but dont expect too much about winning up surely because everything
will really be that depending on how lucky you are on that particular moment.Unlike when you do deal with those strategic based kind of gambling on where you can really increase your chance on
winning if you are knowledgeable on a certain sport or really have the skills on how to handle your cards on hand.

I think you have reached nirvana because this is what the casinos dont want you to realize, they want you to think you can beat the casino and thus you get tempted to take the risk and play for the win. But by having this mindset you can actually have fun, lose some money = aka payment for the fun and come out happy and with a smile.

Do this once every few months and you got yourself a nice entertainment mode. ;D

The more you enrage over the fact that why you did not win and thus you need to martingale it, the more you will lose.

I think that feeling is experienced by everyone bro ;D. The feeling of wanting to increase the bet when you see an opportunity to win. Yes it is part of gambling addiction. When you gamble your emotions will control your actions. The feeling and belief that you will win the bet makes you dare to take the risk of betting higher. I think it doesn't matter because there is no gambler who doesn't have that feeling. But how you manage it and not get addicted to gambling is the important point here.

This is why it is called gambling, because we always want to win big, and this was why so many people started gambling. A greedy gambler will never be satisfied with the little amount that he wins. If he wins big, he will still not be satisfied, and he will want to keep on winning, which will finally make him lose everything, and start chasing his losses. All these will make that gambler become addicted.

It is good that we don't allow out greed to overshadow our thoughts when we are gambling, so that we wouldn't think of increasing out bet when we are winning, because it can make us lose it all in one game, and it will affect out emotion when we are gambling with the amount of money that we cannot afford to lose. Self-control and discipline are what can make you ignore that mind that tells you to increase your bet when you are winning.

What causes this intuition of whether to increase one's wager or not is usually maybe you won a previous bet of which you were contemplating on increasing your wager or not and lastly you settled for a lesser stake and you actually won the bet so in the course of placing another bet, one would still have the feeling that what happened last time might also occur again and may increase his wager and at the end you lose everything.

It is necessary to note that gambling is luck as one shouldn't use because you won a previous bet and feel that you will win again and increase one's stake amount maybe different from the amount you usually place bets with.

Though I don't see this action by some gamblers leading to gambling addiction because they can decide to just increase their wager once in a while but that doesn't mean they would keep increasing it in subsequent time.

What comes to mind is of course a bigger win, there is no other way to achieve it except by increasing the bet amount. In my opinion, this urge is also very natural and felt by everyone, and not many people are able to manage their emotions to remain calm when they see the opportunities available. In fact, everyone knows that there is no guarantee that you will win on every bet you place, but therein lies the joy of gambling that makes someone keep doing it.

In many cases, when someone wins, they often forget to withdraw the initial capital spent, because they continue to get lost in the game and fail to control their actions. All you see are chances and opportunities, and keep thinking about greater profits. That's roughly how a gambler normally feels, it's not wrong because that's where the fun in gambling lies.

Hahaha back to my quote for me gambling is fun when you win until you lose, the fun starts fade away but the emotion starts to ramp up what a joke hahhaha.


It is fell automatically right after bigger win I always feel "Hmm I can do more" and yes it is very natural without innocence  ;D . But remember guys do gambling with a budget or you gonna lose it all.

I know sometimes it can be tempting to increase bet to hope for big win. But it's important to not be reckless because it can lead to losses. If you feel that someone or something in you urges you to bet more, you can step back and take break for a moment. think and remind yourself to stick with your budget. maintain self discipline and avoid impulsive betting or decisions.

It is true, there is always an impulse that urges one to bet more or even to increase the bet, but what you say is very good, we must remember that what one imitates is one's own budget, if we go over budget Well, things will not be done well, because basically when we rush to do things in the casino that go far beyond our risk capacity, it may not work out and our money may go away thanks to an emotion or impulse that did not make sense. , for that reason we have to be very coherent people with our things.

Those who abuse their budget and take more risks may find the risk a success, but it is something they should not allow or do, normally with this type of risk the person does not win, and it is normal the casino will always have the home advantage and that's enough for this kind of thing to happen.

How to control that gambling spirit that tells you to increase your bet is what matters, because when you cannot control it, that is when you will be vulnerable to addiction. It do happen to me when I am losing, and that gambling spirit will tell me to increase my bet so that I can win my losses fast. I do fall for it before, not anymore.

Most gamblers that falls for this, are gambling for profit not for fun. Anyone gambling for profit will end up being an addict, because he will never be satisfied with the outcome of his bet.

Very funny feeling that have pesuaded many into exusting they entire bankroll within a shortest time frame and at that you will losing everything at once, and I will like to ask you.

Did you follow that mind telling you to increase your bet amount and there after increasing it?

Secondly how did it go, did you win the bet or you lost?

Many times I have been a victim of myself when I allow greed take over me to the point that is stake up all my entire place.

This is something I have seen when my friends played on gambling sites. Yes, when they lose, other friends will say immediately follow the defeat, because it is possible to get a big win. And when they win, they will usually say to increase the bet amount because each round is getting better. And when my friend followed those words, I saw him receive double losses and when he won he lost his winnings.

I don't think it's good to listen to other people's words, whatever happens we have to stick to the gambling we usually do, whether we lose or win. When people say that to us, we don't know what they mean, it could be that they want to see us lose by a lot, and if we win they want to see that victory turn into defeat.

Several times I saw the same thing when they were gambling, one person would try to get those playing hot and the other would try to influence those who were playing. Indeed, this seems to have become a style of joke in my environment, but it's still not good to follow what they say.

I think that this is how the process should work, while gambling you will always have a certain conflict that runs inside your head between whether you put this particular number of money or raise it more and risk it, it is completely normal because the decision is always tough and the risks are high, so you have to take the right decision that won't make you blame your actions later.
As an advice, try to fight your impulsive thoughts and instead think wisely and use logic, don't let the eager and enthusiasm in you win because things like this don't usually work and luck is very rare. Thought like this are the main reasons that leads a gambler into gambling addiction.

Gambling can indeed become problematic when it transitions from a form of entertainment to a pursuit for profit, because it could lead to addiction and significant financial and emotional strain. One effective strategy to control the impulse to increase bets is setting strict limits before you start gambling. This needs limited budget for each session and the gamblers need to stick to it regardless of whether you're winning or losing. Also It need a limited time for gambling sessions to prevent excessive play.

Gamblers need to focus on the entertainment aspect of gambling rather than the potential for profit. Enjoying the games for their intrinsic value can help shift the mindset away from the pressure to win back losses. It's not just about resisting the urge to increase bets, but it's about fostering a healthy relationship with gambling where it remains a form of leisure rather than a source of stress or addiction. Keep up the self-awareness and effort to maintain control.

It's really rare to continue becoming the boss of a system. I let the bigger handle brings me significant odds, and whenever I'm in the mode to gamble, I'm not just settling for lesser scores. Gambling addiction is never what I've prayed should happen to anyone, rather I'm always ready to apply flexible strategy to be in balanced positions. Gambling is generally and I try my possible best to ensure I'm stacking up the required profits in the system. I don't relent but doing my best to ensured I'm wrapping the gigantic winnings.

Gamblers are to learn from the mistakes of others, but they let themselves get moved by the thoughts and contributions of problem gamblers. Those distractions easily push the player to try what has never been on his mind. I prefer gambling around professionals whose concerns are centered on making strategies, that improve responsible gambling. No need to meddle with players who don't acknowledge the troubles gambling could cause to society. Those who, personally, get the thought to wager high amounts, only require working on their game. And make changes to the time and place they've chosen to gamble.

Behaviors can be influenced by the activities one worries or thinks about at a given time. Playing at a quiet moment is effective when the gambler has enough concentration to search his consciousness to see if his inner mind is suggesting nice ideas. No need to follow it. Sticking to our strategies will make the gambler switch his thoughts to himself, and the inner mind's decision will be completely dependent on the gambler's thoughts and decisions. Sometimes we act but feel it wasn't our initial idea. That's true, yet we have the energy to moderate such behaviors or thoughts. Unrealistic ideas shouldn't get executed. Gamblers must stay careful.

The next bet and how much I'm gonna gain from it most of the time and obviously. I mean I think even people who doesn't gamble for the profit like me, assumes and imagines how much they are going to gain from the bet they just made, just to inspire and rile them into betting more. It's just a normal thing and is not entirely wrong in a manner of speaking.

I'm a baller by nature and with that in mind I am always up for betting more or betting large. I don't mind losing since I am on a budget when I gamble and it's separate from my living expenses so I don't really lose much in a sense. Although of course, I wouldn't mind winning as much as I could which ends up making me bet more than the normal or the average gambler's expense. At the end of the day I make sure I don't lose my shit when I gamble and lose, and I always keep myself in check with every bet to know if I could still go or not, so I don't really worry about revenge gambling or any of that shit.

When you're at a secure position in your life there is nothing that would worry you. Gambling for entertainment and instilling a sense of discipline upon myself allowed me to achieve this state and it's all I'm really thankful for.

Haha so it happens to everyone. the feeling to increase the be bet usually comes when I win big like x2 x4 in a single bet by using a small amount. I usually do 1$ bet and after win I just want more and more and want to increase the bet in the hope I can gain more USD on a single bet but yeah It is part of gambling addiction and I agree with that.

To not get addicted in gambling I think the key is only one BUDGET, so when you have gambling budget and stay in-line with that I think you gonna safe. or if you are looking for fun just play slot in playStore sometime I do like that hahaha

Unless it was your first time gambling if not you should be familiar with that thought. As a gambler is a normal thing to experience things like that where your mind will try to trigger you into risking more than you can afford to lose but it is abnormal for you to allow your emotion to take control of your bet. Human mindset is always fixed and occupied with positivity and will always look at things from that perspective. It can not withstand negativity but will push you to what will bring negative results.

The feeling is not just unique or peculiar to you, it's what every gambler is experiencing on a daily basis. The ability to control this is fully in your own hands and that's why it's important to have budget allocation for your gambling. Of course, this will not exclude you from having that mind motivation to increase your wager but you will definitely not fall for it because you are gambling in accordance with your plan and budget. It's very hard to overcome especially for new gamblers but you either fight it or you allow it to reck your life.

What takes over your mind when you finish playing a bet is money and the things you intend to do with that money, even when you have not won.  and no risk is a waste when you bet big What if you get lucky?  You would not have regretted that decision so our gambling is all a risk. and the truth is that there will be losses than wins. But if you really want to make a big win in gambling, then you have to be ready to take a risk. If you are the scare type, then i will advise you to leave gambling alone. We always encourage people to take risks, so if you feel like betting more, why not just bet more? That might be a good idea, and the next thing will be a super win.

Every gamblers have this feeling when they want to place bet on games or sports, and most of the time, such sounds are misleading, its better to avoid those thoughts because they are not always helpful, it only increase your chances of getting emotional.

It's better to use your brain than to listen to the voices in your head, nothing should change your mind to increase your wager when gambling, what will happen will still happen, but losing is promised more than winning, the choice is yours.

I choose to always use what I can afford to lose, with no emotions attached, and it's better years already, I have been doing fine either as a winning gambler or a losing gambler, what I throw in gambling isn't going to ever affect me in any way.

This makes it really about risk and reward these days people hardly get lucky when they didn't risk any thing, you can not win on bets if you didn't risk anything. One will always regret their actions when they did risk what they can not afford to risk. But can be lucky most times if you aren't the type that's always chasing loses.
IMO it's not everything people should try out, before you risk any money in anything you take time to observe the kind of things you want to involve your more. From the scale of 1 to 10 if you can not risk 5% you shouldn't risk at all because you won be able to risk even 1%. If you can not risk your money on bet you should try investment, if you also thinks that gamble is another means of investment that's a lie, just find another alternative to invest somewhere else, either Bitcoin or real estate but every investment are risky.

It is much riskier when people lend money from other people to gamble because the problem is when the bet ends in a loss and we have to think of a way to return people's money in another way.
Gambling using other people's money is the same as creating new problems and even controlling gambling using your own money is much more difficult, especially if you use other people's money.
Gambling responsibly using an adequate budget will be much better because that way we are a little more able to control the risk of loss.

The feeling remains the same and we imagine that winning will make our mood happier and even though in the end we have to experience defeat and bury our dreams of buying something with the winning money.

Goals, ambitions and opportunities that are clearly visible before the eyes will usually always be the main reasons why gamblers dare to take risks by using more money and briefly increasing the number of bets without any set limits.
In this case, they will continue to chase big win and will actually spend more time and money in an effort to chase that win, gamblers who have this kind of attitude will never escape ruin in the end.
What gamblers forget is about the boundaries that must always be set and cannot keep the commitment they may have made to be in gambling.
But I admit that under certain conditions it will be very difficult to be able to maintain boundaries and commitment to oneself when gambling, this is something that almost all gamblers actually experience.

Regardless of the risks taken by gamblers, there must still be careful consideration of the betting choices made, this will be very helpful because with consideration, gamblers will not make many careless decisions.

That is how many gamblers have be addicted to gambling because, they refuse to reject that spirit that is telling them to increase the amount they have fixed to play the bet and when they miss the bet, they will be thinking where to get money to continue the gambling that very day because they have entered what it will take them some years before  they will be free for such habit.

The spirit use to come to my mind whenever I want to play a bet and my mind will be telling me to increase the $5 I use to gamble everyday to $10, but I use to ignored such spirit because my daily budget for gambling every day is $5 and the moment the $5 didn't bring good results from the gambling, that is the end of my gambling in that whole day .

If you can manage to keep yourself from raising the bet and not feeling the urge to increase the bet you are setting the standard,the good standard in which it will guarantee you will never be a prey of addiction.I would say however that if someone plays every day consistently chances are high for someone to surpass the set limits.I say this from my own experience as I also gamble daily a small amount but sometime I forget such limits because the emotions of the game dictate this to me.

I agree with you, every time we take action in running a casino we have to consider everything carefully and correctly, the goal is that the results do not disappoint us, that is definitely in the minds of all gamblers. And if we have very strong ambitions, of course there is an urge that we have to act on as soon as possible and if we don't act on it immediately then we will feel doubtful and anxious, because that is what will most likely happen. . owned by gamblers who have a strong and ambitious soul. strong greed too.
Therefore, it is better to think realistically that no one can predict gambling, only the host can regulate it.

We are just humans on which it would really be that so normal to have those kind of mistakes or really that crossing up the border line on which it would really be that something that will really be differentiating into those individuals whose really that have a good self control and moderation in compared into those who are impulsive or something that too emotional when it comes to their gambling
activity on which we know that when it comes to this then it would really be that so damn hard for you to get out once that gambling addiction would really be overcoming into you.

Playing up on everyday isnt really that bad as long you do have that control but i do agree on what you have said that making it as a habit would turn out to be an addiction when you are
are already coming into a point on spending up already an amount which is already that significant on which we know that piling up loses and becoming that big does really
shows on who you do commit yourself into gambling too much.

That's a human thought and not strange, but it's a good idea not to follow your lust to increase your budget, let alone follow your curiosity about the gambling you play. I know that it's hard to control yourself when you're in the mood to gamble, but know that anything too much will not happen. it's never good in the end, so stick to the budget limit that you usually set because if you are consistent you will never become a gambling addict because gambling addiction is difficult to cure so avoid it.

Everyone always has thoughts like that so keep maintaining consistency so you don't play out of bounds, gamblers have to be responsible in order to be a normal gambler so don't get carried away by enthusiastic feelings let alone follow emotions because that will only lead to gambling addiction and also cost you a lot of money, me too Often when placing a bet my mind keeps tempting me to increase my bet because of a football match that might be easy to predict at that time, but I don't follow it and in the end the team that is the favorite loses to the team that is not the favorite.

If that $5 continues to provide profits, it will be a dilemma and the mind will arise to continue to increase your daily gambling budget.
This will certainly be very difficult to refuse, when they desire to make more profits, than place bets with an amount of 2x or more than the usual amount.

But if you can control that optimism, you manage not to become a gambling addict and stick to the rules or boundaries you've set yourself.
It is better not to make a profit than to have to lose more money than the amount of gambling budget provided.

That's quite wise advice, accepting defeat doesn't mean losing. We could have a chance tomorrow with the same budget, what is more important is to avoid over-addiction. Sticking to the principles that we have created for ourselves can save us from bigger losses, which can keep our finances stable. Indeed, when gambling, sometimes we only think about winning, therefore it is very necessary to learn to control our emotions when we want to gamble.

This voices from the head is very easy thing to deal with because I think it's normal thing to have your mind giving your some advice. The best way to deal with this is make sure that you use a tight management of risk in gambling. If you have $100 as initial bankroll, let's that be your bankroll and no additional funding should come from anywhere. If from that $100 and $10 will go to each game, let it be that $10. With this strickness and personal rules, even your head wouldn't be able to mess with you.

Most often greed is the reason why here this voices, you probably have $10 with $200 return after making multiple return and despite that having a return of $200 looks more risky, your voice will still be telling you that why not try $40 so that you can round the outcome to $800. If you do and you don't win, you have miss the opportunity to gamble 3 more times and if you don't have nothing in your bankroll, that's all for you for that period.

With the way you talk Mate, it's clear that your main drive and motive for gambling is to make money and to maximise profit through gambling. This way you can incur more losses for yourself more than you anticipated, and it'll be very easy for you to involve yourself in loss chasing, after risking really high with the hopes of winning, all in the name of taking risks that'll likely pay off. Yeah every gambler wishes to win but we know that's not how gambling works, you can't go risking so much for something as uncertain as gambling,  yes the feeling is always fantastic when the wins comes, but what about when the losses comes and you've taken such a tremendous risk that has the ability to affect you.  And at the end you lose the bet and start looking for ways to recover the losses, thus may cause emotion to start flying around and make you start taking bigger risks and the more you go the harder it is for you to go back because you feel you've lost too much and must recover at least half of what you've lost which can lead you to even more loss.

Not only in gambling have someone have the instinct to increase their gambling bets, it does happen in some other things we find ourselves, wanting to do. Like crypto investment, running a business

This kind of feeling can come up at odd times when we never planned it to happen, and whenever it comes up, it will be our duty to resist those urges that want us to do above what we planned for. Not resisting it will make us spend what never anticipated at first and the result will not be what we welcome.

That is very true, because whenever we want to make bets and win a lot, then that is why we bet and make increases in the bets and sometimes we feel bad because we do not win, and that has the consequence that we do not measure our money very carefully and it goes away. everything, that's where the problems come, increasing the bets is not bad, but with a controlled balance, it is not good to bet a lot, or if you bet a lot knowing that if you lose that money it will not be essential for us, but something that we allow ourselves to lose without much problem.

Those are the things that one has to measure when playing in a casino and not try to invent other things where they are financially incorrect and will not cause problems.

This is a very wise strategy, but unfortunately, most users do not succeed in achieving it despite its ease of application. Even if you wanted to double the amount, it would be easy and reasonable since the amount is small. Now suppose you won $300 on your $5 bet, would you raise the bet amount next time?
Every gambler experiences these feelings, whether he is an addict or an amateur, but many psychological factors intervene to determine the extent to which each of them responds to these desires.

That is just the main effect of gambling. If you just allow yourself to be overwhelmed with the profit to gain in the game, you will always listen to that voice that will tell you to add more so that you can get a lot of profit, and if care is not taken, you will end up risking all you have just to gain that win that you are waiting for, but there is a factor that I discovered that causes all those additions for most people.
 
The reason I say so is that I have even met a gambler who gave me his story of addiction. He said he started getting addicted to gambling. After he won a hug amount of money with the smaller bet, which if he had put more, he would have gained more than what he got, so after spending the money, he started putting a hug amount, not minding even if it was depths or a loan, which he always lost the game, so now he is regretting I think this is the same thinking that came to people's minds when it came to such a case.


Sticking to your budget is the best thing to do, because if you are not that sticky, you might end up in the regret zone, like the story I gave above, but to be sincere, a budget is just the best solution to follow to defend yourself from becoming addicted to gambling; if not, the case is different.

Honestly I think most gamblers especially those who have entered the addiction phase will experience feelings like this where they hear rumors in their minds that they have to increase the amount of their bets and I think situations like this are more common when you are in a winning situation which usually feelings like that will encourage you to apply acts of greed which will usually lead you to actions that are actually beyond your abilities such as betting larger amounts.

I also can't lie that in the past when I was still quite a beginner in gambling I also experienced this feeling several times where it was like something was pushing me to gamble with a larger amount and I call it a temptation in gambling that will always haunt our brains and minds because there are so many things that look tempting there, But over time now I no longer listen to whispers or temptations like that because I'm bored enough to end the session with disappointment, and I prefer to gamble without thinking about anything or I mean not caring about feelings like that because I already know and have felt the impact.

If sticking to your own principles or strategies can't, what you expect to get better?
Because the initial principle will determine whether you can survive or not.

Find many people who just gamble without using their brains, just place bets without knowing what risks they will experience.
Always expect victory when they will only lose.

The need to be self-aware and make gambling not just a profit-making machine,
but gambling can be a place to unwind you because it becomes an entertainment.
Don't force putting in a lot of money if you can't afford to lose it.

There are always many things at stake, ambition and greed are common denominators that arise, therefore when we are in a casino betting, what we hope can be done are many things in our favor and win more money, but each one The things we do are always worth having a repercussion, I don't know if it is good or bad, but there will always be repercussions above all, so from any age over 18 years old, we are responsible for the decisions we make. Obviously it has to be under the normal order of the laws, and in a casino what influences us the most is money, without money we can't do anything, if we have things to solve in the face of a big losing bet, I think it's o It is better to resign yourself and insist as much, because losing bets and seeking revenge is the worst of all the mistakes that can be made, almost always you lose that money plus what you have to recover it.

Yes that's right, I see a firmness in terms of applying rules to the boundaries and plans that they have made where whatever feelings they feel even if they are tempted by something that looks tempting still they will only bet the amount that they have determined beforehand and that means as you said that this is a wise strategy. And yes we have to come back to the fact that unfortunately most of the gamblers find it difficult or even impossible to apply this kind of strategy or approach to gambling, where more of them go overboard that they don't even have any rules and limits in their approach to gambling which in turn causes a lot of problems in their lives.

From what you asked here where someone managed to get a big win using only small capital then I think the answer is that it is quite difficult for them to keep the amount of $5 the next time, because usually when someone has just experienced the tantalizing and fun situation they usually think too positively and too confident that if they increase the amount of bets in the next session then the amount of victory can be much greater, but on the other hand I will say that this mindset and feelings will usually only exist in the minds of people who come with the intention and purpose of multiplying the money they bring.

That's not understanding your own limits and greed setting in.  Your first guylt on how much to bet something is typically the right amount based on whatever risk appetite you have for that.  Then greed sets in telling you when (not if) you win your winnings will be higher.  Risk starts getting adjusted or overrides by greed.  Happens all the time.  You need to understand if you are susceptible to that and just stay away then.

This you just spoke about is a typical description of having self control gambling, if you don't have the self control while gambling you may very likely loose a lot gambling because you are most definitely not going to know when to stop and when to continue gambling as it not always safe and better to gamble at all times but when you gamble with self control your get to regulate your habit and when to stop and when you could actually continue Gambling as everytime doesn't avail us the equal gambling opportunity.

Nevertheless it's very important to know that sf control doesn't guarantee that you may be able to overcome addiction, it's very possible you can still suffer addiction even with your self control the difference will be in how much impact it will have on you as compared to other addict's who couldn't control their selves.

I agree with you that it is an almost impossible hypothesis in theory, but recently a funny incident occurred when the sportsbet platform announced that one of the users won an amount of millions of dollars by winning a bet in which he placed 50 dollars. What is even more strange is that this bet was in a slot game that doubled the amount hundreds of times. Isn't it strange that someone bets $50 every time on a slot game? The platform used the user's privacy as an excuse to not reveal more information, which made the story remain questionable from the community. Returning to the topic, I wonder what that user thought to bet in this crazy way in an online slot game. Did he think that he would win if he placed big bets? Personally, I don't think so, and in the best of cases, he would be the luckiest person in the history of slot games.

When placing a bet the first thing that comes to mind is the potential winning at least for me, because that is the only motivation to gamble on sports bets since it out of fun to gamble on sport instead of playing in house games that have some elements of fun in them, so many things comes to mind of a sport bettors, but the first and the most strong one is the winning which could also be termed as greed level, so our greed will definitely drive the ambition in us to place the bet in the first place.

It’s interesting how our minds play into the gamble, often nudging us towards taking bigger risks for potentially bigger rewards. You’re right. that urge to increase your bet is something many people feel when they gamble. It’s a tricky part of how our brains get excited about the chance to win big. This can definitely lead people to spend too much or even borrow money, showing how gambling can become a problem if we’re not careful.
But, as you noticed, it’s super important to know when to stop. Keeping gambling fun and not letting it become a stressful habit is key.

This is all about the gambling. When you're going to place a wager with the small quantity of money you have, something will occur to you concerning what will happen if I put this small amount of money. You begin to doubt that even if I win, the money I receive will be insufficient because the odds are not very high. And then you'll pick how much money to put in, which can result in large earnings, which is why so many people are prone to losing money quickly while gambling.

They do not begin with a set amount of money that they can afford to lose, their sole expectation is that if they take bigger risks, the biggest returns will come back. They do not realize that gambling is not that.

Early before now, when I was introduced to gambling, my mindset was always fixed on winning whenever I placed a bet. I believed that winning was inevitable and proceeded to place bets with that conviction. Nevertheless, as I gained more experience with both winning and losing, my perspective shifted. Especially when it came to uncertain games, such as competitive league matches, I began to acknowledge the possibility of both winning and losing. While some may find the idea of losing unappealing, I realized that it's a natural part of gambling. It's crucial to approach betting with a realistic mindset to avoid disappointment and excessive investment in the outcome.

Absolutely mate you are right after putting our bet  we felt nervous as we aim for the winning for sure all gamblers aim for the win. But in reality in life there's a small chance of winning in gambling sometimes we have our luck in our side then we will win a good amount of money but if we don't have then one thing for sure we will loss some of our money. Also before we put our bet then there's hesitation that we will do it or not cause we think that sometimes we  are too unlucky. But in the end of the day and we won a good amount then nextime we don't feel anything before and after we put our bet.

When you are still new or simply being a noob then you would really be having those kind of impressions that gambling is really just that talking about easy wins specially if you have made out yourself on registering just because you've seen someone who do able to make huge wins online and this is the reason that you have decided to play up gambling. You would really be having those anticipations that you could really be able to make money and same winnings into someone whom you've seen until that reality would be slapping into your face when you do face up some loses then this is where realization would really be kicking in.
Never ever make yourself that delusional if you dont really like for yourself to be that having that kind of frustration or disappointment towards gambling.

When you do gamble then you should really be doing gambling for the sake of fun and not something that do talks about expecting for some winning on where
you do have those kind of projects that you are making some easy money with it because it cant really be just that possible.

It's normal to be nervous every time you place your bet because you have money to take out here, of course you risked your own money for gambling, your biggest goal sometimes is not to lose or double the money you take out. If a person is too nervous especially if they bet a large amount, maybe because the money they risked is not just spare money? maybe the money used for betting is not properly budgeted, or maybe a gambler is already spending their savings that should have been kept aside? We should always remember that when it comes to gambling, we should be smart in decision making, taking risks and we should only set a budget limit so that we don't overspend.

For some people the things that have to do with savings must be a total risk to have them in a casino because it is very easy to use them, so it is recommended not to have that money in your hands and much less if you go to a casino, sometimes the person can say that he is only going to use a part, but he should not do it or take the money, because people who have their savings at that time, their mind and their being will get very excited and they will start thinking about multiplying their money, and even more if it is a person who has never been to a casino, because emotions and impulses will be at the surface, that is why it is necessary before entering the casino to allocate a balance for the casino, a balance that does not matter if it is lost, that is what must be done, because losing the savings of a lifetime in a casino is the worst thing that can happen.

We can control nervous by learning step by step and control ourselves. It takes time before we can calm down ourselves but that still worth to learn because that can makes us calm. Calmness is necessary when we playing gambling because that can helps us to prevents the greedy or intention to chase the win or recovering the lost money. We risks ourselves to playing gambling but we knows that we must reduce the risks not becomes bigger. We don't have to spends much money to playing gambling because that can makes our risks becomes bigger so we don't wants to gets a bigger risks by always preventing the lose. We must have limits when playing gambling so we can avoids the big risks of losing the money. Limiting the money is a must thing that every gambler to do to avoids the big lose in gambling so we can enjoy playing gambling without getting big lose.

As gamblers we all get that instinctive thought or voice in our head and for me I think it tries to test our level of maturity and selfcontrol we have towards gamble. What I can chip in here is that if a gambler found out that at several occasions he has fallen for that then he should next time just carry with him a specific amount of cash which he will be willing to gamble all (for offline gambler) and if it's online same can apply by only depositing a limited amount you can afford to risk in.

We should pay great attention to our gambling habits for us to know our different area of strength and weakness to be able to carve out a strategy against it to prevent us from succumbing easily. Doing so could be helpful.

If they can control gambling to be more responsible then I don't think it will be a problem. People need something more challenging to test mentally but not gamble blindly and put a gambling budget much larger than other needs.
Gambling is like any other activity in that it has existed long before we were born and many gamblers have previously been involved in any form of gambling.
I mean the only person who can control gambling is ourselves, so responsibility is needed so that we are not faced with much bigger problems

Spending a little money on gambling while enjoying the game of football is not a big problem because it will stimulate enjoyment for every individual who is passionate about football.
There are many people who love football and if they bet with a small budget while watching for it is a normal thing.

You're right, we can control that but it really takes time before we overcome that kind of feeling and there are people who no matter what they do or try, they have a really hard time controlling their emotions, especially being nervous. We should really be calm in every move we make, especially in gambling to avoid wrong decisions, because there are times when we are so nervous that everything we do turns out to be wrong, but like I said, it's a case to case basis  because there are other people who we can't just say that we need to be calm when it comes to behavior because some of us have other mental health issues connected to being nervous like anxiety and panic attacks.

People that do have this kind of thought of increasing their wager whenever they want to place their bet is because, they want to use gamble to double their money. This is where the false hope would come in to their minds, that the chances of winning the next game is higher than losing it. Of course, when you follow that instinct of yours, and increase the wager, you will end up losing the bet, and maybe that is when you will not be able to control your emotions, and you will start chasing your losses.

It's true, it does happen to me especially if I succeed in Winning at first so I will be desired to stake high and it can even cost me to even go to the extent of borrowing money or even stealing my brother money. So it's a very bad behavior and just to make things right is by limit on how much I spent on gambling and also divert my attention to something else, that is something I enjoy doing apart from gambling such as reading, exercise, watching movies, spending time with my loves ones etc. Although it's not that really easy to limit or stop gambling but with the help from others like family members, etc and also with determination, we will overcome.

When we ask, how does someone get addicted to gambling? This is one of the aspect of it something in you telling you to gamble more to put more money that you know if you hit high that is how the same thing we also tell you after you lose this one to tell you can you try this other game can you try it? Do you know you hit high do you know if you win now try again play you keep on playing keep on trying you keep on losing so this is the addition aspect of it. It’s really come to our mind a lot. Most people have the controlling spirits to stand it and just gamble with what have already bought to spend listening to any strange set of thoughts we just do the writing that is how camp should be done.

The feeling do come at times, it takes self discipline to suppress that spirit of greed.
Once you succumb before you know it you have breached your risk tolerance level (limit), bit by bit it becomes a habit thus leading to Addiction and you find yourself in a situation were you keep losing more than you can bear because of poor risk system, and greed you gave room for. 

As I would always say it takes system (rules) to alternate another system. So keep building your system so as to stay strong in a world (gambling) were isn't programmed to favour you (gambler).

Avoid pressure or to gamble based  on feelings, to avoid lose which you can't concede, anytime you feel such before placing your bet sit your hand or better still suspend placing the bet for that moment.

While trying to gamble what comes to my mind is how to control my emotion so that I will not spend more than I can afford .Emotions here is actually one of the greatest obstacle to face as a gambler because if not properly controlled can result to an extreme loss .

Another thing that comes to mind while trying to gamble is how much to stake and my possible potential wins. I actually place priority on the amount to win with several positive thoughts like what to do with the money if finally I won it and many more impossible reasonings .lastly another thing that often comes to my mind is how to keep the betting slip safe so as nor to lose it in case it finally turns positive.

Before betting on gambling, there is definitely a kind of excitement between us, especially since I have bet on cricket and football matches, I have a great excitement. Maybe I am losing in today's match. A lot of nervous tension works in me and I am temporarily so scared that I might have a hard time controlling myself. Currently I'm working on equal parts frustration and excitement as I've lost several bets. So I am trying to control myself very hard and for some days I am trying to stop myself from gambling temporarily.

Many people have these thoughts when they feel betting, but I never participate in gambling with such thoughts. I mainly gamble for entertainment I never gamble outside of entertainment. But being too greedy when it comes to betting is actually a very bad sign because being too greedy makes people addicted to gambling platforms. If someone gets addicted to the gambling scene too quickly then his life is over. So it is always better to use a fixed income budget for gambling. Those who use a fixed budget of income on the gambling platform do not become addicted to the gambling platform.

But the games and the UI are built to keep your addicted to the casino and its natural to play on the risks. If you falling prey to those, you have to correct yourself and not think of gambling but what bad it can do and henceforth stop.

Having a rules or strategy to keep the addiction in control is good but stopping and taking breaks, doing some other sort of work to keep your mind distracted is another method to cope with the addiction. These types of things can be productive and you might end up with a new hobby altogether.

Indeed it is possible to keep a balance between the two, but managing the bankroll is tough.

The things greediness can cause are many, including gamble and investment, some people because they want to earn slot if money they will think of staking big money and it will make them not to remember the risks involved on the things they want to put money on, so after everything (many after losing) before they bring their munds dien and think of the kind of risk they involved their money on, sometimes it's too late. Greediness causes additions, and addition is hard to stop.

That's what every gambler feels, We are still in control ourselves not from gambling, it is a process of gambling. When he places a bet and sees a big chance that he will win, of course he will increase his bet, this will naturally flow when gambling. If we gamble, we should still control ourselves, whether it's our emotions or our finances. We should never chase too much after winning or losing our money that we experienced before, this will make you lose a lot of money there.

The first thing on my mind is the possibility for winning or loosing the bet, this is the first thing i use to have in mind, the amount to use and how am being able to afford the use of such amount for gambling base on my conviction, i also though of wining or loosing and all that comes my mind henceforth is the chances for loosing because i already knew that is what is common with every gambler gambling, but when i have a different result and win, it turns a surprised for me.

The thing that crossed my mind when I first placed a bet was my probability of winning the bet. I think almost everyone thinks like me and you. When betting on sports betting I think about what the chances are that the team I choose will win, and after that I determine how big my bet will be. I don't rely on the odds given by the bookie. Besides, I'm not a gambling addict who would place big bets. What I look forward to from placing bets is how correct my predictions are and that gives me pleasure.

Sometimes excitement, anticipation, anxiety, or strategic decision-making based on my knowledge of the game or event I am betting on.

When placing a bit, a lot of unnecessary things do comes to our mind cosigning what to do maybe we should increase the stake and bet  bigger, Well, the demos and put on tennis still think and do the right things, it not just putting money and you are not scared of losing, being careful should be one of the best opinions you should have in your mind, I don’t like a lot of young men running

In gambling, it is very important for us to be able to control ourselves so that we don't place bets that are not based on the analysis we do and hope to be able to win the bets we place. Of course this is very normal, but we must still control ourselves in betting and not to betting an amount that we cannot afford so that it will be difficult to meet the needs we need.

If we chase winnings from the bets we place, of course we will be in a hurry in placing bets so that we will be very unlikely to be able to win the bets we play and what is even worse is for those who have won but are still chasing even bigger wins. so they lose what they have gained and don't have any winnings left, of course this is very disappointing.

We have all been through that, we have made mistakes like that and yet things have made us gain experience, I believe that the main thing when we are playing our psychological way of doing things should always be focused on saving money, not We must think that the more money we spend, the more we should win, it is possible, but if the player loses, he is left with little money and sometimes he spends it all and is left empty-handed and that causes desperation because there are players who lose money. that they should not lose and everything goes wrong for them, it becomes Complicated and they may begin to do desperate things to recover money.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that "I hope that my bet was right and that I would get to make some money betting on this team and it would really suck if I lose right now because I don't like losing my money when I risked betting it on this team." That's the gist of what comes to my mind but that's only at the time when I'm in the middle of selecting the team and betting, after that, I'm just hoping that I did the right pick and then I forget about it and then do some other stuff. I can't be letting my mind wander only on betting because that's what makes someone a little bit obsessed and addicted to it.

That's why we must always learn and practice so we can control it with right and will not being nervous or increase our emotions. If we can calm down ourselves, we can thinks clear what we must decides and see the way without have a problems. When we place a bet, our minds will not thinks about many things because we don't chase the wins and only wants to enjoy our time by placing the bet. We knows how to manage our emotions in gambling so we don't thinks much about gambling as playing gambling is just for have fun. No matters if we lose or wins, we can accept the outcomes and will not trying to chase the wins because we knows that can cause us lose more money. We just playing gambling for fun without any intentions to chase so we don't have many things in our minds instead just to have fun.

Always been confidence of wining is a trigger tool to everyone who gamble and the zeal to increase with expectations of getting greater out at the end, it occur to me I do feel to increase my bet and once my emotion puzzle much some time two things is bond to happen either the game give out good outcome or it end in losses.

That is the goal of most gamblers, of course they must have thoughts like that, because that is their main goal for the gambling they do. Well, if you don't like losing money or aren't ready for it, you shouldn't just gamble. Just listen to the saying that says "prevention is better than cure" you have to be careful when gambling, especially if you are not ready to lose the money you bet, it can be an incentive for yourself to do something that is more risky.
We should be able to accept that we will lose money gambling that is certain, thinking that we are not prepared to lose the money we gamble can possibly get us into big trouble, in my opinion there is even a possibility that it will make us addicted to gambling. and of course that is not the purpose of gambling. No one wants to be addicted to gambling, only me. Most of those who are addicted to gambling are caused by wrong thinking.

when it comes to gambling, we should not be too complacent especially if we are not sure of the outcome of our game, because that is where our high expectations come in and sometimes we can already make plans of what to do once we win even if we don't have anything yet, we immediately lead what will happen so sometimes the consequence is that we lose even more. Not sure but here in our area, the elders have beliefs that don't lead things that will happen in the future because it may not come true or the opposite may happen.

Of course, that is also what everyone thinks when risking money, they will think about winning and winning because no gambler wants to lose, but if it is too much it can have bad consequences.
Those who put too much hope in gambling to win and have excessive ambition to make money will definitely not be able to accept every defeat so that in the end recovering from defeat is an attitude that always occurs.
Just as you stated that you don't like losing money, that clearly an attitude that must be changed because gambling is place that guarantees defeat and of course you money will be lost, whether like it or not, have to accept all of that.
Using money that has been determined to gamble and is accepted to be lost is the most important decision, if you don't want to lose money then it is not recommended to gamble because it will only complicate you own condition.

Isn't it a mind game plotted by the house to spike gambler's fantasies of winning big amount. Players have an inbuilt greedy thought which attacks the responsible gambling necessities. Those change of reasoning sidetracks a player into developing unfamiliar behaviors leading him, the player, to experience a sea of mistakes. Our minds also wants to be a winner, as well. Therefore, gambling controls how players think, while they play. I noticed this, after the game is over, gamblers get to realize that they were probably blind to their gambling mistakes. Sessions are not supposed to be hurried or rushed. Because if hurried the player wouldn't think before executing every single thought that's come to him during the gaming session. Not being able to control this impulse of taking immediate actions while gambling can ruin the finance of every gambler involved.

Come to think of it, these are not bad thoughts, but it seems it's the type of reasoning which recurly occurs to the gambler whenever he's participating in the game. Such thoughts erupt involuntarily but voluntarily executed. Some players, however, would claim they weren't aware of how they wagered the funds. I'd say they've forgotten picking up the decision to greedily triple their funds in one session. As the actions were too numerous for all to be noticed. It comes as a surprise when the player only remembers wagering few times. How then was the whole money exhausted he'd ask himself. That's a self-control deficiency, yet humans can't claim that their gambling losses is all a surprise. The behavior could be sponsored by shock and fear. Saw a meme today, of a man on social media who wagered his house rent in a gambling sessions. He seemed to have forgotten how everything happened. Some may be wondering about what came over them. But, it's as a result of neglecting the need to think twice anytime the greedy thoughts are summoned.

It's mind game no doubt, but I don't think it's inspired by the house or are you saying the house are using spiritual aid to control every gamblers mindset? No i don't think so, what is feel is that the spirit of greed would always occur in anything that involves money and if an individual lacks discipline then they'll easily be misled by such spirit to make wrong choices sometimes people get lucky to profit when they're greedy but it's not advisable.

 That's why I think every individual who gambles should set a budget either weekly or so, so they won't exceed their gambling limits or go beyond their budget without that you'll be easily convinced by that thought to sake higher that your budget and probably lose it all, and then the spirit of greediness would immediately leave once you've lost and by then it would be too late  cause you'll start living in regrets.

While placing a bet everyone expects to win from there but depending on their luck they win and lose. Gambling has now become a place of common entertainment. so now a large number of youngsters are turning to gambling even though it is for fun purposes. But even if one starts gambling for fun, it eventually becomes an addiction and everyone expects to win while betting. and even if they lose, they continue to gamble because they believe that they will win the next bets.

So you see, what you said in this post, psychologically gambling, things like that are normal. at certain levels, a person wants or tries to achieve something that has never been achieved in a previous winning combat session. Sometimes, without us even realizing it, when luck is on our side, we are lucky to achieve a victory that we have not previously felt or achieved. There are also those who try their luck in increasing their bets to achieve big wins that have never been achieved. for me, something normal that most of us experience as an experience in gambling. The problem is, in gambling it is not easy to achieve what we want when betting. The luck factor is very closely related to big wins. unless, you are a gambler who can afford to bet with a large bankroll.

So as you said, when someone is unable to control their gambling, it can cause someone to go to borrow funds to continue their betting. phenomenon like something normal, in fact many of us do it. that is also one of the things that causes someone to experience addiction disorders. referring to your question, as someone who has been involved in the gambling hobby for quite a long time, it is not something foreign to me. so the answer? yes!. Therefore, understanding, responsibility and self-control must be involved when we bet. otherwise, a person will be carried away by their patterns and thoughts about gambling as they wish. for now, with a lot of experience and many things I have gone through from gambling. understanding is important which makes me only bet within the limits I can afford. regarding the title of this thread, the answer is simple. have fun and hope to win. unfortunately, in practice it is not as easy as what we think.

This applies to anything that has to do with risk taken because they believe that they can hit it bigger once they stake with higher amount  but the truth is that it is always advised to make proper budgets in whatever you as not to allow your emotions take in control of you . Emotions can mislead especially when it comes to gambling because several things will come you mind at the time of placing bets but the  answers lie in your ability to control your emotions.

Yes it’s is quite obvious that people lose their money because of wrong decisions at betting points but the main reason is that they find it very difficult to control their emotions then instead they allow their emotions to take control of them and they end up making wrong decisions. Greed and emotions are twin brother and to succeed in gambling you must learn to control their behaviours so that they don’t control your own behaviour.

That is true, the wins do not mean money to every person, sure every win means money but that is not what everyone is after, some people are after just winning. I can gamble with 1 cent per bet and I would still be quite happy to have wins, not going to get much money in return so it means that my happiness is not tied to money, if it was tied to money then I would have to play for a lot more money and I am not.

I think it is quite obvious that I am only gambling to have fun and that means that what I am betting with doesn't matter to me. That is why when I am making sports bets, I usually bet with 10 dollars or 20 dollars at most and nothing more, I have been known to have more 5 dollar bets than 100 dollar bets, I had only 3 times when I bet with 100 dollars, and only maybe a dozen times with 50 dollars, 90%+ of my bets are either 10 or 20 dollars.

And even those sums you are betting can be even too large and life changing if won with high enough multipliers to someone else. Usually if people's happiness isn't tied to money, their financial issues aren't that bad, and basic security is good enough so they don't be absolutely destroyed of medical costs of some injury, but they have enough money for a good insurance etc.

I have a good security net from our government in case of falling, but that's being slowly being removed now, which makes my security and happiness even more tied to money. This is a main reason i won't be betting large bets and taking large risks, even though i would definitely like to win more. And i know in order to have high rewards, it needs high risks, which leads only one possibility: Small bets and small budget for gambling. Low enough to keep me safe. And that makes changes for higher multipliers more appealing. I could grind with low odds and get high i suppose, but so far any tactic to do so haven't produced profits that would make the time worth it.

Happiness can't just value with money but that's a feeling that we can have. We can wins some money and that's not a big money but we can feels happy. But if we are happy because we playing gambling, no matter what's the outcomes, we don't minds with that because we don't chase anything and only wants to enjoy playing gambling. But usually, when people placing their bet, they only wants to gets wins and that's normal because many people feels that when they playing gambling. They don't wants to face their lose but that's the fact they gets from gambling and that's the risks if they playing gambling.

If they can playing gambling for fun, they will accepts with the outcomes and will not thinks to recover their lose if they lose because that's the risks of playing gambling. If they wins, they will be happy and will not chase the wins because they knows that 's difficult to do. They will happy with their wins and will leaves the casino.

When a bet is placed it comes to our mind that we will win that bet and get a good return according to Odd. Gambling always makes us expect great things but in reality no one can only profit without loss. Gambling addiction causes a lot of harm to people. But no matter how much we lose we always hope to win after betting. this is our common thread. But I don't gamble regularly so the win loss here doesn't excite me much

that's one of the common mentality of a gambler when placing a bet on a gamble but for sure they are aware that no one wins who doesn't experience losing. gambling only becomes dangerous for a person if it is not handled properly and if we do not do self balancing, it is necessary for us to be balanced when it comes to our hobbies and other important things so that we do not end up being addicted to it.

The only thing that comes to mind is that my salary is not going to be spent so quickly because every time I allocate my balance I risk losing it , if I spend it too quickly, then it's all over, I am a person who When I play I Concentrate in the game and my mind works like a calculator, I add and subtract, I add and sometimes multiply, but very rarely multiply, and I try to concentrate only on the game and on my numbers, because it was fine that way, otherwise I do lose concentration I can lose faster because I forget the strategies I apply, I don't know, maybe it sounds strange but that is my way of playing, and when I play in a physical casino my way of playing changes a lot, I play little and with less money.
