How tricky is this?

[plvbob0070]

It's so much disappointing when you are in this situation because you already have that hope but then, your bad luck strikes. Several situations may happen to the players or in the sport itself that's why even if it's already the last game, it can't be always on our side. It's indeed upsetting but for me, I just always try to move on after some time and think that I'm always not that lucky. If it's not meant to be, then I will just try my luck next time.

The near success syndrome is only in the mind of the gamblers. If we know how gambling works and we are realistic, we will understand that the word, near win or almost a win, does not exist, there are only two outcome, a win or a lose, that says we never know the outcome, that's why we guess or predict it.

many times i confess to my partner that i almost cash out and win in my gambling session but she replied that its not my time to win .

what she replied to me is simillar to what you have posted on here .

 its hard to accept at first and its hard to move on if you will think of that " close win" but i am learning now and im starting to remove that mindset .  if its your time to win , you will win including in the impossible scenario

I agree. The tendency is that gamblers would consider the slightest chance of winning, to bet further or to play more because there's that idea that "I almost made it, so probably this time I would". It is a matter of trying to force things or to push luck to be in your favor but that's not how gambling works. It is either you are lucky enough or you have to make decisions that will affect the outcome. The result should then be close-ended. No linkages should be a basis to how will you play on the next "round".

I think I had this situation before, when I had a multi with two wins and then the third one was a loss and I lost the whole bet, of course. However, I don't think it's usually the last games that are lost in multis, so it's actually neither bad luck, not tricks. Obviously, it can't be a trick if you yourself choose the games for your multi bet. But the assumption is probably formed due to confirmation bias (you notice more when it's the last one and remember these cases more, even though there's no statistical significance).

There is this near success syndrome that is associated with compilation or multiple bets. I'm damned sure most bettors who use the accumulated bet strategy must have experienced this a few or lots of times and it usually feels so disappointing and the day begins to feel like it's not one of your best days. The thing is,

"In an accumulated bet, why is it often the last games that goes rugged and you end up loosing what's supposed to be a best bet and was already preparing for a cash out or the next step"

It's always never funny when this happens. What's the trick about it, is it that, bookmarkers just knows and tends to push the game to the last in the series for an accumulated bet option or it's really bad luck, if there is such a thing as bad luck or other reasons. What really is the trick about this scenario.

I know what you mean but it is just bad luck, bookmakers do not really have any kind of control over the games, they give themselves an edge in every single game in order to make money which means that you are playing at a disadvantage against them and when you make several bets in a row like that then the chances that they become winners and that you become a loser are huge, you will just have to accept that fact even if you don't like it, and if you are tired of losing then you should leave behind those kind of bets because the probability that you make one of them is very low.

I am interested to learn and read more about this. Could you perhaps give an example based on your text? I once read about a Slicers bet on Betfair a long time ago, but it has remained a mystery to this day.

And this happens not only in gambling. For example you take part in some contest and you think that your chances is pretty high, but in the end it turn into you lose. And you have the same syndrome (i know it pretty well).

The only solution to not get such syndrome is not to put high expectations.

Generally, you can't really choose what combined bets you'll take, you just take the bets available at this moment on the sportbook. Then it induces you don't bet on events you really master, and the chances of failing increase.

[hahay]

I personally feel like it's just about bad luck but apart from that, when there is a last game or bet that makes us lose maybe it could also be about greed or even the overconfidence factor. There is nothing definite to identify this incident because I also experience it a lot, but it is not always about low or high odds and I just think it is about bad luck because gambling is a game of luck and not a game of greed.

[Lanatsa]

It is really bad luck as bookmakers have no real power in the outcome of a sport event at least in theory.Most of the times it is our own greediness which tells us to add this game too and another and another and this leads to the multi bet going lost,often times in that last game we placed.It is never funny I agree and it is simply bad luck nothing else.

Correct!

Bookmakers are just handlers of bets not totally a thing that can really affect a certain games outcome.I don't know why some people do think that
they do can really affect the result which its not that relevant to think off.Its just pure bad luck and just because of greed and that kind of impulsive
reaction which makes the situation even more worst.

It doesn't matter if its single or multiple as long you do know those certain games and you do know on what you are doing.

Don't make any blames to others just because you have lost.Just move on and bet another one which you do seem fit into your criteria.

[Inkdatar]

This will resorting to success in a bet if you are good at predicting the game to win. If I remember, when I'm in a game the guts of feeling that you are almost near to success or to win the game but the outcomes turns bad that I was losing the game. Every placing a bet when having a tricks does not turns out well that luck is not in our way to win. So when accumulating a game it is good to have it small bet to minimize risks.

That's what I am thinking as well, maybe our greediness is the reason for this thing, most of the time we feel this thing when we win so many times, we urge ourselves to bet more, to play more so that we can earn more and more money, by this thing we sometimes makes all  in bet without thinking that we might lose all of it, then when the time that we expect to win but we lost all of it? that's the time we will be frustrated and depressed, it may lead us to addiction or to desperation.

I doubt that this will decrease butthurt from loosing a final bet even if there is small amount. People often looking not to amount of the bet , rather to ratio between bet and potential amount of win.

The way to decrease such syndrome it's just to be calm and patient.

Not all would really be having that kind of characteristic on being calm and patient where majority is on the expecting or advanced thinking side where they are already preparing on getting their
wins even if the said game isnt over or done yet.I do feel out that kind of near success emotion but i dont believe that this is a syndrome.This is just a normal reaction since we are just human
being and if our mind do tell that we are somewhat sure into those bets that we had made then we would really be having that kind of reaction or perception into things that
we might do after that.We are imagining on getting our wins even though it isnt over yet and this is where frustrations sets in when reality slaps you in the face.

Because if you will linger on your losses, you will go crazy thinking about what should have done or should haven't.
So better move on fast rather than think about your bet over and over again.
Just admit that this is how gambling really is. And yes, bookies don't have anything to do with the results.
If you can't handle the stress, just look for other games that will calm your senses.

[FlightyPouch]

For me it is not a trick, it is a result of uncontrollable urge of the gamblers to win huge money. If they can control themselves they would be able to stop slipping that loss unto their hands. They would be able to take home that profit, it is not the bookmakers, it is not the luck that you have since if you would just control yourself there is no problem.

[crzy]

There's no trick behind it, I want to say it's mostly bad luck because you never know when will the team have a bad day and at the same underdogs stepping up their performance (hitting career highs). Sometimes there are certain factors like injuries and the schedule for example if the team is playing 3 games in 5 days. The actual win rate on parlays is just smaller overall whenever we add a match it only becomes significantly harder even if we take all of the big favorites.

Not their lucky day for sure, almost winning the game and yet they failed to do so well this is gambling and that’s a sports where everything can happen so don’t over confident. If you think this one is a trick then you don’t understand much the gambling. Know when to take profit on gambling and in sports, just keep consistent.

[Baofeng]

Probably this is just what we call "Gamblers Fallacy". So as others have said, there is no trick, it's just the mind tricking us into believing that we can still win and we discounted the fact that everything is base on luck. That it can be influence be by past events, so we believed that we really know what would be the next outcome, so it's an error on our part to rely on this fallacy.

[TedMosby]

it happens to me almost every time I picked multi bets. It's bad for mental health.
because it's like it pushes you to have high expectations about it, and then you just fall down.
it will ruin your day, more stake more time to recover from your stress time because of this kind of situation.

THE MOST PAINFUL DAY IN MY BETTING CAREER by laycon

My problem with it is when it happens to be just that last game in the series. Is as though, it's been enchanted to scrim pick me to your subconsciousness and you just begin to see possibilities bdo you go for a trier and before you know it, your nervous and shaky all through the 90minute, praying for that one shot or header or own goal that would just save the day and the referee just blows his  final whistle but it never happens.
Again, could it be possible for Bookmarkers to have an influence on the game of the day, like the last Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham draw in the EPL following highest picked games?

Seems like you are a very intense person mate,That's why your reaction is really above the others,I sometimes react exaggerating Specially if the Match is too close but not as far as you do,Are you betting for the team or player that you really love?or this is just pure gambling?
Because if this is about your Super Favorite Player/team maybe i can say it was normal but if not?and your Bet is not even a million bucks for this kind of reaction  ..
Maybe try not to engage in intense Games instead try to Play in calm gambling like Cards maybe.
