The Danger's of setting a winning target while Gambling.

[Hispo]

I personally don't have any problem with setting a winning target, if one's expectations are realistic enough and are beyond the relatively close chances of happening in a single gambling session. For example, I could say I want to turn one dollar into three or two dollars, that is a 2x or 3x multiplier, which is not something crazy to get in a single gambling session. However, it would be a completely different thing to try to turn one dollar into one thousand dollars. I could even go further and say it is unrealistic to try to turn five hundred into one thousand using several consecutive dice rolls or blackjack rounds.

The bigger expectations and amount of money one wanted to get out the casino, the easier it is to get hooked and lose all our money, even to start chasing those losses...

Even if we give any theory to someone who has ambition in any form of gambling game, they will not listen to the theories we give because it is a signal from the subconscious and the lust of the players, even though we have controlled ourselves to end the gambling game, the signal will still continue to appear and will continue to be curious to keep trying and trying.

Why? Because of their overly high expectations of winning at casinos and multiplying their money. That's why someone with a gambler's spirit, no matter how bad their game, will continue to try and have high ambitions to win at casinos.

It's not a problem to set a winning target for our gambling, but we also have to think realistically, so we need to be self-aware and avoid thinking that with a small amount of capital, we can set a very large target that is considered beyond the accuracy of the amount we deposit. Perhaps everyone has set a target, but the difference is that some are self-aware of their capital and others are not. The problem is those who are not self-aware. For example, depositing only $10 but setting a target of $1,000. While that's possible, it's better not to.

I agree with what you said. The higher our expectations, the easier it is to fall into deeper gambling that goes beyond reasonable limits. This is what must be avoided.

[Orpichukwu]

Even so, many people still do it, they can determine victory, but the most important thing is to determine the capital that they are ready to lose, victory is a feeling of self-satisfaction, many people are tempted when they have reached their target and are lulled into continuing the game which leads to greed.

If you set a winning target and you luckily reach the target, which we all know how hard it is to achieve, and the gambler still did not feel satisfied by just accepting what has been achieved and still allowed greed to make them ask for more, whatever the outcome turns out to be, they should be ready to accept it and never blame it on anyone or anything but on themselves for being too greedy.

Gambling with target to which someone will win is very dangerous and you are absolutely correct  because setting this target will make us to gamble even when we are not suppose to... and the moment we are doing this we are putting our live at risk because we can turn an addict easily and I think this is the reason why we have so many addict today because of those ( setting target),  we don't need to set target on something that has to do with luck because that target will always move us to do things like abnormal people.

It is very ridiculous for someone to be setting a targets in gambling considering the fact that gambling success isn't guaranteed. Their is one thing I know for sure is that when you are very greedy you always end up bringing pain and regret to your own self, greed has distroy so many people's now and in recent times and we need to understand so we don't keep having similar issues.

Gamble shouldn't be approach with so much expectations in return because nothing is sure in it, just enjoy the fun in it while you stake what you can let go, if you are lucky enough to smile home then good for you but If you aren't favored then let it slide.

Creates unrealistic expectations.
Encourages riskier behavior.
Leads to chasing wins.Gives a false sense of control.
Can turn wins into losses.
Shifts focus from entertainment to profit

Gambling by setting a target is one of the reasons for the loss of gamblers. None of us can assume that we will definitely win the bet. But when we make such an expectation in the bet, there will be a possibility of confusion in our principles. If this happens, I have to win the bet, at that time the amount of risk will also increase. It will definitely be difficult to get the bet result according to the target. Moreover, when the loss comes, it will be even more difficult to recover that loss. In short, making sure expectations with uncertain results is the wrong principle.

[Orpichukwu]

Absolutely right point. This is a well known bias in psychology. Probably this is also the reason for many gamblers to can't achieve any profit.
Plus some bookmakers are forcing players to place bets with big multiplier. of course the winning will be high but meanwhile this could lead to a streak of losses.
Most of players will continue to play "until they are lucky" without really understanding that any profit could vanish in seconds...

Yeah, that is why it’s also important to know the policy of gambling, as it will prevent or support not to gamble recklessly but gamble within their budget.
No one should give you false hope of winning high, yes, one can be lucky to win but it’s not guarantee. One can’t be able to make use of their profits if self control is not there, which is why it’s essential for one to practice self discipline and resist greedy because it will make one achieve their goals in gambling, which they will have the fun in it and not to see gambling as a means of money doubler.

Exactly, most gamblers fall into that psychological trap of chasing luck and ignoring probability they convince themselves that the next round will fix everything and that’s when the real losses begin bookmakers know this very well that’s why they often highlight high multipliers and flashy potential payouts it gives players a false sense of control when in reality the odds are still stacked against them.

understanding gambling policies and house rules helps to stay grounded because it reminds you that gambling is entertainment not a guaranteed source of income self discipline is the real difference between someone who gambles responsibly and someone who ends up addicted or broke setting a strict budget walking away after reaching limits and not letting emotions control your next bet are the habits that keep gambling fun instead of destructive. Once a person learns to treat every bet as an expense for entertainment rather than an investment for profit the entire experience becomes healthier and more enjoyable.

Yeah, first of all, it is absolutely wrong to set a winning target in the first place, this move comes with lots of disadvantages and one of such is the fact that the gambler in a bid to reach that target may spend money he or she didn't plan on losing on the game and stand a high chance of losing the money, and if luck isn't on their side and the money is lost, this becomes a major problem.
Secondly, a gambler who sets a winning target is just an inche away from becoming addicted to gambling if they are not already addicted, and this is because the desire to meet or reach their target win every day will cause them to spend too much time gambling and it will be easy for their brain to get used to the gambling.

But in times when the gambler out of being lucky manages to actually achieve their winning target, and still are greedy for more possibly because the winning came too early while they still have enough money in their initial capital, if that gambler continue to gamble, then like you said, they can only blame their self for the later outcome incase they ended up losing everything.

One reason I agree with the OP's opinion is because it's true that setting a win target can be very dangerous.

The reason is, imagine if, without their knowledge, their luck ran out before they reached their win target? Wouldn't greed set in? Of course, but at that point, the game would turn around and continue to drain your gambling account balance.

Ultimately, it ends in regret, and this is where aggressive gambling begins.

Not to mention gambling addiction. They will get it if they are still chasing the target. They will not realize that something bad has happened to them if they still set a target and chase it. When they win, they will not stop immediately but keep playing because they have not yet achieved their target this day.

Their greed will become big and it is not enough to win just two times but they want more. That will drag them deeper into gambling without they knowing and if others don't remind them, they will become addicted to gambling easily.

Well, most individuals believe that gambling is a quick way of getting rich and this is where the problem starts. Without knowing the principle, a person cannot even manage his  budget not to mention the fact that he does not know how slim the chances of winning are in the real life. Personally I always regard gambling as entertainment. Money is like money spent on a vacation and so when there is a need to make a profit then the game is not a game. People can save themselves a lot of dangers in case they learn to understand that it is not a method of earning money but a fun-thing.

[YOSHIE]

Yes, sometimes the danger of gambling in setting targets can occur spontaneously and be done out of passion.

As you mentioned below.

Dangers of setting Targets for yourself.

Creates unrealistic expectations.
Encourages riskier behavior.
Leads to chasing wins.Gives a false sense of control.
Can turn wins into losses.
Shifts focus from entertainment to profit

For this reason, we have to understand that gambling is a game, where after winning there is no winning a second time, so after reaching the first winning point, don't expect the second and third, you could end up losing everything, be aware of gambling and be aware of the dangers.

As a gambler, in my opinion, the problem with setting profit targets is that people start betting without thinking, losing focus, and this leads to bankruptcy. For example, it's well known that every day there are games from different leagues with different odds, and some days there aren't interesting games or games where team data is easily accessible.

So, if someone sets a goal of winning $5 a day, they'll bet on meaningless games and lose $5 that day, and the next day they'll make the same mistake. If someone sets a goal of winning $30 each weekend, they'll only see one good game with odds of @1.50. Since they set a profit target of $30, they won't bet $60 on a single game; they'll prefer to bet on many difficult games and lose a lot.

For example, I could say I want to turn one dollar into three or two dollars, that is a 2x or 3x multiplier, which is not something crazy to get in a single gambling session. However, it would be a completely different thing to try to turn one dollar into one thousand dollars. I could even go further and say it is unrealistic to try to turn five hundred into one thousand using several consecutive dice rolls or blackjack rounds.

The bigger expectations and amount of money one wanted to get out the casino, the easier it is to get hooked and lose all our money, even to start chasing those losses...

The bigger problem is the reality that we already know that, there is no realistically proven approach that guarantees winning in gambling so for that reason having or setting a winning target is somewhat a wrong approach, but then we can have some other form of motivations that keep the games alive on on terget but that most not be an all winning target since that is not possible to achieve.

Any gambler that set a winning target or limit for himself that is he his not gambling for the money but for fun which means either he wins or losses he his satisfied with it  because he knows winning is not guaranteed

Setting a winning target means you can handle it , it is when there's no target that it is dangerous because it has to do with the amount you are using to gamble which you must have already set aside not just gambling with all your funds, in as much as you can handle it, to me I don't it as being dangerous.

Most of the time, the bettor ends up making a profit precisely because they are committed to having fun. If there is any return, it's just a consequence of this relaxed moment. Playing calmly, without worrying about the money, makes us think better before any play, and this applies to any type of bet. That's exactly why I do it this way, to feel more relaxed and truly enjoy myself.
