Will This Habit Lead You To Chase Your Losses And Addictive To Gambling

[TravelMug]

Do you think it's unhealthy to always post your winnings on social media and forums because this habit will lead you to chase your losses and bet more so you can post your winning, I find this habit forming and this is bad especially if people are following you and always looking forward to your winning posts.

It's really subjective though, I mean though perhaps those who are posting are like social influencers and wanted to show their winnings. Or they are really a big whales and they need to flash and show their money around. I remember Floyd Mayweather always do that, mentioned how much he bet on certain events with pix of the ticket. If not the ticket then the whole winnings itself, the money in front of him.

But for normal gamblers like the majority of us, I don't think we need to post our winnings. Yeah, perhaps some, but not everything should be exposed. Just keep the winnings for yourself and if someone ask then tell them that you either win or lose.

I see no reason why you should post your winning on the social media, their are somethings you should keep personal, I think it's really bad posting your wining on social media, if you keep on winning and people starting noticing, then some people might start tracking you and will want to harm you or steal from you, that's why I think anything that has to do with money should remain personal.
Am sure the person will only post his winning and won't post whenever he lose, so he will want to gamble always so that he can win and post it and whenever he lose he will keep on gambling so that he can win and post which at the end the amount he will lose will more than the win, just because he wants to impress people.

It's actually bad, what else you'll get from this anyway? Fame? Unless you're not an influencer you'd just wasting time posting it instead. I think it's best to just keep it to yourself, you'll not know one of your post may lead to get a social engineering on you and may lead to hacking or because of your carelessness you posted some personal stuff online.

What people are really looking for is result and this had made lots of persons make more loses because they will want or be like a particular person without knowing what the person had undergone to have such kind of result. Everywhere is tight and some newbies gamblers are not really calming down to learn the strategy or relax enough to gain experience before urging to make bigger winnings even when they do not understand the way things are going.  Gaming is very difficult but some persons still think that everything is always based on luck which is very very wrong.

In this community? I sometimes posts my winning in the sports that I bet, but it's very seldom. I post it to show that I did have a bet on that player because I have mentioned it before the game, but I hide how much money I bet, not good to brag how big you put in. But in social media? no, I don't want to exposed myself and why would someone do that? unless you are really into gambling and that you have a lot of money and followers in all of your social media account. And as far as getting addicted, still base on the individual itself, maybe he will be push to show more of his winnings to keep up with this social media "status".

Aside from this, you’re putting yourself on a bigger risk so I’d rather win secretly than to expose it.
I see a lot of my friends sharing their winning trades, and this is their way to market their other crypto agenda and I think if you are working online, this might help but when it comes to gambling better not to post it because many thinks differently when it comes to gambling activities. You can share your happiness on a different way, but don’t post your winnings, it’s too risky for me.

There are people who do really get proud on sharing up their winnings in public which would really be giving out that kind of motivation for them to play and feeling up being contented because they do able to hit

some winnings but of course it is something that would be always happy days because there would really be those losing moments but eventually those frustrations would be entirely be wiped out

once you do win again.I do somewhat partly agree that having this kind of mindset would really be motivating you or be pushing you to play more which is something
that you could be able to post up something on your socmed.

^ You can try it yourself and do an experiment with this.
But on my side, I won't do that thing for my own reason, I prefer to become low-key and don't tell to anyone that I have won. The reason could be your security and your life may be put in danger if they know you consistently win in gambling. Social media won't be a place where everything your activities people know, all your life happens people know because possible, this lead to knowing more you if there is someone who has a bad interest in you.

Posting the losses on social media is not good for any gamblers. This lets them have a reminder to gamble, even if the user finds a way to stay excluded from gambling. This will make surrounding people judgemental over our activities. Addictive Gambling happens when the gambler is emotionally down.

[Rengga Jati]

In my opinion, it would be better if we didn't post anything related to what we got, including the results of trading cryptocurrencies, the results of crypto payments from any program, and our investments, including the results from gambling.

The reason is for the security of our assets or account itself. Apart from what the OP has already explained, posting on social media will attract more hackers to find out what we have and where. And the online world is sometimes very cruel, where hackers can easily hack what we have. So, to reduce the risk and increase security, it would be better to avoid posting on social media.

What's more, posting gambling results will also make judgments in our social environment, and other people's perspectives on us. Especially if we live in an environment where gambling is something that should not be done. While we may be indifferent to our point of view, what about our families?
Plus, what if the authorities find out about our gambling activities? This will be problematic mate, especially if gambling is prohibited in our country.

This depends actually since you also mentioned about posting only your "winnings" and not your losses.

Posting your winnings and the amounts that you received respectively can most likely influence other people from gambling as well when they see your winnings. The potential danger here is not about chasing your losses but actually influencing the younger generation in this destructive habit. Maybe to balance this out, you should also post your losses as this can be considered your "wake-up call" in choosing NOT to gamble further.

This is the first time I've ever even heard about someone doing this.  First off, the number one rule in finance should probably be  DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY TO OTHER PEOPLE/OUT LOUD.  It is no one else's business how much money you make, how much money you gamble, or how much money you win gambling..

Keep things private, don't talk about what you have or won, it's no one elses businesses.  Plus there's a million other reasons it's simply not a smart thing to do.

It is actually not good to post our gambling wins in social media.  One of the reason is the possibility of people having ill intention to the posters.  Aside from that, if the intention of poster is to brag then it is possible that a person will keep on gambling just to have some winnings to brag for.  I agree that I might develop a habit of chasing losses but I think it still depends on the person.

Posting your own wins isn't bad on its own and it's possible that it could encourage you to chase losses but I don't think it's always the case based on the winning posts that i've seen. Others post their wins as a way to promote the site then there are some that post their wins so they could share their experience. Every winning post doesn't always show how much they've lost before hitting that win but I just think it depends on the person's mindset for example if they require themselves to post their wins in every session.

One of the main reasons I prefer online or crypto gambling is because it promotes privacy. Posting my wins or losses on social media is a no-go area for me because my gambling life is even secret. Secondly, I don't think gambling is a very good habit that should be exposed or publicized. Most social media platforms don't have policies that restrict underaged users from accessing them. Your post might reach an underaged child who might see your wins as a motivation to start gambling. And children are more prone to gambling addiction.

I don't also think it is ideal to chase your losses. Trying to recover your losses can lead to more losses because gambling is unpredictable. It could also lead to financial recklessness and gambling addiction. It is far better to have restrictions and see gambling as a form of entertainment and not a source of income.

I believe this habit of posting your earnings came mainly from players who stream.
However, they often have the purpose of earning some commission for the advertising they are doing on the site.
Ordinary players do this for the simple pleasure of "having to" share their winnings.
I see two problems there... the first is security because many give up their privacy and post these results on social media like facebook and twitter where many know the player personally.
The second is exactly what you said... the "need" to play more and more to keep posting more and more frequent and biggerwinnings.

[Wexnident]

I'd honestly consider any sort of sharing personal info on social media as unhealthy. It's not really a matter of "chasing loses", just that it's, well, you really don't. If you were trying to copy celebs, streamers, and other sorts of famous people, their entire lives center around being public, not something I'd honestly recommend, but well their jobs revolve around that anyway.

But well, if you're account was anon, then I guess it's fine. The mindset of wanting to chase more winnings isn't you posting at fault imo, I mean in the first place before you got that win, just imagine how many losses you had before? You've always chased for a win, whether it's due to wanting to share it or not.

Sometimes it's normal to be proud of your winnings because it can give you joy and satisfaction. However, if you're doing this to brag and to show to others that you're good at playing then I think it's not right. Because if you have this habit of posting your winnings, you might be pressure to gamble often to win and it's not really healthy since gambling is risky and there's always a high chance to lose your money.

Hence much better to refrain from posting and dont make it a habit because it can affect the way you gamble.

I think this is human nature where always proud for his achievements, and on my opinion is not bad. some people will be even more excited after proud the winning, and next, will try to make another winning, if happen to me, I will be nature, I don't want to ambition to must won, if lose, I will also tell it on sossial media also which inderectly gambling is not only win but you will also lost.

I think it is stupid if you do it on social media, unless you make a living from it by being a gambling Youtuber or something like that. On forums you are more anonymous, so it makes more sense. I see more advantages than disadvantages. It is one thing to answer a specific thread on the subject, but to give an account of it as if it were the income statement of a company does not make sense. It is better to maintain privacy.

Sometimes it's normal to be proud of your winnings because it can give you joy and satisfaction.

I think this is human nature where always proud for his achievements,

Are you aware that, with very few exceptions, the results of casino games do not depend on you? It's like being proud of rain or shine.

Yes, I do agree here, sometimes you need to share your experience and post your winnings and your bet before hand. But I don't think it will led to gambling addiction. Maybe the gambler itself is already addicted that's why he keeps posting.

But for those who are not, I'm sure posting will not be an issue for them. And I don't think that they are also going to chase their losses, it's just the experience that they are sharing.
