Importance of Double Checking while playing Roulette?

[romero121]

Played Roulette in one of the reputed casino, on consecutive bets value spend was 0.00008192 eth. For the first two bets this was the value and mistakenly for the third consecutive bet unknowingly my fingers have touched the chips based on which value can be increased. This made the further bet amount to 1.00008192 eth, and the bet lost. Further I wasn't able to go for further betting. This ended the day a loss of more than an ethereum. If I've double checked I could've escaped such a massive loss.

Mistakes like this do really happen where you do accidentally press up the max bet button or those chip add ups.I do even have the same situation a long time
ago where it result on wiping my entire bankroll on a single bet.Yes, its really frustrating but you cant do anything about it since its your own error and theres
no one to be sued out,so the thing here is that you move on and be careful on next time if you dont like to experience such mistake again.

It's a newbie mistake but every now and then some people still fall for it. There are cases in which bets are doubled unbeknownst to the user especially if they clicked the "2x bet on loss" function. This still happens even though it's very clear what will happen if someone clicked on that. This doesn't seem to be similar in your case, although you still might have clicked on adding 1 whole ETH (does this function exist on your platform?) without you knowing consciously since you're in the heat of the moment.

I wouldn't call it a newbie mistakes, and I'm sure every roulette player has experience this.

About two months ago I also made the same mistakes, I was in a hurry because of the timer and accidentally click 2x on a number, I was f***ing screaming and the excitement grew as the ball was slowly jumping and eventually fall on the bet. Good that I won, but if I have lost I will be very disappointment and most probably stop playing that time.

Gambling is based on the fairness of the casinos and are purely at times winnings are based on luck. There are various instances where the gambler has unknowingly clicked on a massive bet and they have won. There are recent instances in this forum where the massive bet was won and was higher than the casino maximum winnings and the user has made a scam accusation against the casino as well.

Either way roulette and other gambling games might be won when you have higher bet multiples and can even be lost when you have very lower bet multiples. I have experienced a continuous winning streak in Dice game with a smaller amount, but never played roulette TBH. I have been a newbie in terms of gambling and probably would never spend much for the same.

Haven't experienced such a loss, but same time there'll be someone who have got lucky to spend unknowingly and win big. If Op has won big out of this mistaken spending then this could've made it a big day. Same as people experience bad luck out of mistake, there might be someone around who could've experienced good luck out of the same mistake. I believe even this to be of bad luck.

I didn't experience that scenario since there's no way I will deposit big amount of chucks on a gambling site. A value of .5 eth should be fine for a long-term session (if lucky).

And in roulette, you can notice if there's a change in your bet so I don't know what happened on your part. If you accidentally tick on the max amount, there should be a noticed. Even if not, you need to click several times before your bet will go higher.

What site is this and can you post your bet history?

From 0.00008192 ETH to 1.00008192 ETH? That was one big leap. A whole ETH was added. A gambling loss is much worse when the bet is placed by accident. I am wondering which button you mistakenly clicked and which site you are playing.

But it is great that you stopped betting after that. If that happened to me, I might be clicking the all-in button out of disappointment.

We have many times in making a mistake in gambling, and although we can be careful, we still make those mistakes. From that story, we need to double-check everything, so we don't make the same mistake and make sure everything is like what we want. In any gambling game, we must be careful, so we can minimize the chance to make another mistake. But I see that we are often stand in situations which make us by not coincidence click the bets without checking everything, so that causes us to get lost.

We cannot reverse what we have done, and that is the other risk that we should know in gambling. I think we should not feel sad in the long term so we can to raise again.

Pretty much anything that requires money to be at stake requires double checking. Contracts require double checking, plans require double checking. But still, RIP to you mate. I'm pretty sure everyone of us has at least experienced once that feeling of misclicking and immediately betting. Sadly that's how life goes. Especially in gambling, where you're literally risking every single amount you have. There's a note that I always think of where, when you cash in to casinos or such, the money doesn't belong to you. It belongs to them already. Only when you win, then that's your money.

Don't risk over your asset when you find that's going to fail, because if that case would be a negligence I think it can't be undo. That's why it's very important on some betting site to have email verification before sending funds to their deposit address. There's no problem if you stop betting if in case of an accident, since we know exactly how our bets going to be much worst if you face all risk behind all concerns.

I can't post the bet history. The bet history itself reveals which gambling site I've used. I asked for support, and got a response misclicks won't be refunded. However the mistake is mine, and revealing the sites name is like creating something negative upon the site. I posted this just to keep users aware of such instance and to play safe.

Whenever you are too lazy to check the bet amount or increase on your own then these kind of lessons will happen to us,next time you will be much aware than that lost bet.Casinos also a reason for this to happen because they keep the increase bet amount and bet button too near and small which makes us to click wrong and lose funds most probably.

It would be nice if the mistake resulted to a win like yahoo's case (if you were aware of the issue) but in most cases, a mistake will always lead to loses.
It's important to carefully check your bets prior to pulling the trigger so it will not result to a costly mistake, at this time, 1 eth is affordable but way back 2017, that's more than $1,000 worth of mistake.  

[swogerino]

This is important not only in roulette but in every game we play.If we play with unattended sums that we cannot afford to lose this is a really bad thing to happen.The chance to win that bet is really low and that would be the only time we would be happy we accidentally played with a high amount.Always double check before you hit spin,play or confirm bet.

[Haunebu]

This is why I carefully select the chips and make sure that I placed the right amount before proceeding by checking the total value of my chips on the table. Also, it is best to be careful with the auto-bet controls too since most people lost money thanks to these bots.

at this time, 1 eth is affordable but way back 2017, that's more than $1,000 worth of mistake.  

Its still a decent chunk of money which is why it is still a big loss in my opinion. Op clearly would not have bothered to talk about this if it wasn't a big loss to him most likely.

mistakenly for the third consecutive bet unknowingly my fingers have touched the chips based on which value can be increased.

This is the fatal disadvantage of playing with mobile phones/touch screens. Did you try to find out how your 0.00008192 bet turned to 1.00008192? If your total bankrolls was 1.00008192 then you might have touched the "max" button. I guess that was the case from your random bet amount. Because, editing the bet amount requires 2 or more touch-input and that should need to happen exactly at the first figure of bet-amount. I doubt about that. I like to suggest you to figure out where you might have touched so that 0.00008192 turned to 1.00008192.

If I've double checked I could've escaped such a massive loss.

Double-check or even triple-check is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED everywhere. Places I do double-check: 1. Sending out payments from my wallet; I do double-check both amount and addy. 2. Trading; position-size/buying-selling price/trading-pair 3. Gambling; right coin (when you hold multiple bankroll) and bet amount.

Double checking is definitely the most important thing to do to avoid such mistakes. This kind error is one of the most common mistakes people make while inputting figures.

The casino owners should also try on their part to make it harder for their customers to make such mistakes. I believe they can do this by rearranging or designing things differently

[Mometaskers]

I'm seeing more threads similar to this. Likely just human-error, it gets tiring having to check between every bet and eventually people go into auto-pilot.

Or, it could be by design, interface play a huge part in player experience after all.

Its an expensive mistake but you will learn from it. I had a costly mistake as well and that is by using the automated betting in dice sites. So what happened is I used automated betting, then set the options to increase % when I win and increase % when I lose. This means regardless of whats the outcome, my bet size will increase. The problem is I switched to another game and used the auto bet as well, but this time the system continued to use the settings from the other game I played. Unknowingly my bet jacked up to 0.01BTC per roll and its very costly.
