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

[Mr.right85]

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.

For me, the Italised part is were it all makes sense  as per how the habit develops in this circumstances. When you've got people following you on what ever media your using.

There is always a burden that comes with having people looking up to you. You've got to be current and at your best to keep them updated. No one wants to be using old tricks or be following up on a looser.
This would in turn put you under pressure to increase on some aspects to your betting and even frequency to always end in profit which could always be the reverse in most cases $lose.

It's a strategy not worth considering.

I don't know if this is an addictive habit but it's obvious that people who post things like that without being casino promoters are attention seekers.

Thinking about the scenario, the person loves to brag about his winning, it is the character of the person.  From that, he is inspired to post his wins, and when time comes that he isn't avail to get huge winnings from his gambling session, the pressure ( from ego) of not being able to maintain his bragging piles up which can lead to the person chasing not the losses but the possibility of winning huge.  This kind of activity will have an impact in the long run.  It will make the person depress when he doesn't meet the thing he wanted to achieve and a great joy if he did get huge wins.  

We know that gambling addiction has something to do with emotions and dopamine secretion.  The ups and downs of the emotion of this person can somehow trigger an addicting effect to gambling which can lead to gambling addiction.

Personally, I don't see the point in sharing winnings posts on social networks, unless the person has a personal gambling channel where he helps to understand gambling, communicates with the community and shares ideas, reviews, etc. And if a person publishes his winnings just for self-affirmation in the eyes of the public, it certainly does not make any sense (at least for me). Besides, such behavior carries some risks for underage users of social networks.

People's behavior is often irrational - someone buys a watch/car on credit that he cannot afford in order to brag to his friends, someone draws attention to themselves in a different way. Apparently, those who publish their bets (wins or losses) have found their niche and in general this is understandable - if they are involved in gambling, then this topic is of interest to them and it is natural that they will make publications in this area.
For example, I don’t like some things, but I understand people who are fond of them, I remember that a couple of years ago some celebrity was exposed who had a “secret” account where she published methods for making onion rings. Sounds pretty weird to me but I can understand it.

Yes in my opinion this is not a good practice and I would not encourage anybody to post a lot of gambling results on social media. First of all, why share your personal gambling experience with the whole world? Do you want to share your gambling results with friends and family, then I would rather send them a summary from time to time and maybe check first if they are really interest in it. It also makes it seem that you are heavily invested in gambling and your family and friends might become worried about you. In case I would share my gambling results with my family online, they would question my decisions and try to talk to me to gamble less. Then again, maybe you have a lot of followers online and positing your results is a form promotion or advertising and you receive money for it. It's important to not try and make more risky bets only with the intention to show them off online and try to look cool. We never know how legit the pictures are in the first place, and maybe someone only posts his winnings and hides all his big losses.

I did like to share my winning in this forum years back as you can see in my post history, but it does not lead me into addiction. In fact I can reduce my gambling activity for more than a year already now. Sharing our winning is fun, it should be done for fun only and should not be taken as a must thing to do. Unhealthy or not, it depends on how you deal with your habit. As long as we can control our own habit, it wont be unhealthy thing.

The best would be to just gamble, have fun while gambling and that is all, no need to share your winning.

I too think it is fun to share winnings, but is it appropriate if you share just your winnings without sharing all your bets too, I mean including the ones that are losses? I think if someone can not share his losses along with his winnings, not need to share anything. During those days that you share your winning, if you lose too, did you share your losses?

I rarely use any social media platforms and I'd never post any of my wins, unless I was paid by the casino to do it, but that would have to be some big money.
My privacy is important to me and I wouldn't jeopardize that just to brag to my friends which is something I can do in private anyway. I don't need applause from people to know I did good.

I don't know if this is an addictive habit but it's obvious that people who post things like that without being casino promoters are attention seekers.

usually only affiliates work with the gambling site and share their winnings on their social media, some are arranged by the team from the gambling site to give winnings to affiliates in making gambling videos on their social media so that people are interested in signing up using a referral link them, sometimes not many ordinary people share their winnings on gambling sites through their social media

Actually I found it more appropriate to share winnings here in forum instead in social media because this is some kind of privacy though will not hurt them if they will share small wins .
but also this will lead them to be transparent from every elements in which some are seeking for potential victims using internet.
so better never to share our private activities in regards to crypto activities if we dont wanna lure scammers or hackers towards our accounts.

Technically speaking, there's nothing wrong with doing that. That's their own social media account and they are the only ones who will rule it. If those posts are being followed by their followers, they are nothing to do with it since, in the first place, there's no part of the post that is forcing people to follow it.

If you feel bad about it, better just ignore it. You can filter things that you don't want to see on social media or forums.

Don't take that freedom from them. If you are annoyed at those users posting their winnings on any platform, simply removed them on your circle.

Actually nothing wrong with it because we have different social lives so quite normal thing to do, but some people just do this to flex other people and some other just want to share like those things made their day, but of course  there's a possible risk with this like getting public your winnings with large amount and if someone has a bad intention to you there's a chance they wait for you and keep eyeing every time you do until they've got your money or other assets.

First off, I think there's no need to post your winnings in social media, because it might back fire at you if someone gets jealous of your winnings and report you or whatever. Anyways, even if you didn't post it on any social media platforms, you will always chase your losses because winning feed your ego too much, that you must win no matter what.

That's why settings goals is important, for you to be satisfied whenever you hit your profit goal in a day or monthly.

I think it's a form of fun from everyone getting big multipliers and posting on social media. Now this does not become a reference if he is a gambler who is pursuing a target of defeat or vice versa. but this needs to be based on that it is just a thing to be happy when a big win can be seen by other gambling players. I do this often but there is no particular impact to suggest that I really have to struggle with getting bigger multipliers the next day.

It is necessary to meet this sharing movement normally. If people enjoy it, they can always do it. We have to respect everyone's opinions. In my opinion; sharing such a share is a sign of self-confidence. It can also be called a little egoistic behavior in some cases. That's why it seems to me as unnecessary behavior, and I don't share like that.
