The psychology of betting.....

[seleme]

People always talk about strategy in gamble but I disagree because bet does not have strategy because the more you think you know the more you fail, even when you consistently play a particular odd that favours you one day you will get the greatest shock in the game because it will fail.

I still remember the day when the Sweet Bonanza slot of Pragamtic has failed me after 60 bonus buys on the martingale system bets. I can't get the point of why one slot gonna be so bad even after so many bonus buys, if RTP is based on the gameplay it shouldn't drain my balance in so many bonus buys. Maybe I was doing something wrong but only thing I learned that day was if the slot doesn't pay in the first 5 bonus buys then it is a waste of money to keep chasing bigger. Some users even lose their life savings to look for some patterns on either slots or dice, we have to respect our financial limits in such situations in order to prevent worst-case scenarios.

Some people seem to think that your bet size will increase your chances to win, but that is simply a myth. The reality is that it simply means your payouts will be bigger when you do win.

Bet size has nothing to do with the probability of you winning on any staked game.... Yunno, everything about gambling is manually driven by greed - since man's want is insatiable, it'll simply create an impression of having a maneuver or quicker possibilities of Having a good outcome, Which Is not entirely true.

Have you pressed the "bet" button, before the reels have stopped.. thinking that it will give you a favorable outcome on your bet? Well, I have news for you... the outcome has been decided in milliseconds after you pressed the button for the bet, the GUI interface happens long after that to display the outcome of the bet to you.   (Go into the developer mode of your browser to see this)

Dude, there are no tricks to winning on casinos.... everything happens by chance,...it's that simple. Nobody is noted for Staking multiple times already - so the casino would atleast compensate him for Staking too much without winnings, NOBODY. Winning comes by chance!...

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

I don't believe in gambling.

if you are betting on luck-based games, there's no known strategy that can indeed guarantee your winnings. but you can work with some of the popular ones like martingale, however, you also have no way in knowing when will luck will hit you. so yeah, games of chance, don't expect you will go home as a winner.
people should accept the fact that when in gambling, always use your spare money, otherwise you are subjecting yourself to getting rekt if you will use your money for your bills or for your food.

^ No, it seems like a wrong perception which I don't agree with.
Gambling is a form of entertainment that should be approached with caution and with the understanding that it is primarily a game of chance. While some strategies may increase your chances of winning, there is no foolproof method that guarantees success. It is always important to gamble responsibly and only use money that you can afford to lose. Using your spare money ensures that you won't put yourself in financial jeopardy, which is crucial when it comes to gambling. Remember, the goal of gambling should be to have fun and enjoy the experience, not to make a profit.

I agree with the proposition that we as humans are conditioned to seek patterns in life because the evolutionary process has programmed us in a way that compels us to establish causal relationships between events. However, I don't use very specific methods. I only take a little break from betting when I have suffered large losses. This way, I get some rest and have a calmer mind when I bet again.

There are a lot of factors that affect the outcome of a bet. For example, you can bet on an odds of 1.5 or 2.5, If you are lucky enough, you can bet on a bet of $1,000 or $2,000, which is a lot of money in the long run.

I wasn't sure if this is really the case, it definitely makes the most sense. The code behind the casino games should know instantly if we lost or won, and only takes a longer time to display the results to make it more interesting and exciting for us. Slot machines are very visual games that use different themes to attract players. Even in online roulette games I would expect it to be the same. It's only in physical casinos where we have to wait for the wheel to stop spinning before we can see who won and who lost. Like your friends I also don't like the autoplay button and always spin myself. It's more time consuming but I feel more in control and can stop when winning some money. So far I haven't noticed any patterns in slot games and aren't really looking for some. My favourite pattern in gambling is at roulette to pick the opposite color when there are 6-7 reds or blacks in a row. This is of course superstitious and no real pattern.

I don't bet on any other games than football because it's my favorite sport, so I waste a lot of time there. However, the only betting method I know is how to analyze a team that is playing the game I want to bet on. And I used to wager a lot, but now I don't since I don't trust gambling, so even if I lose the money, it won't be too much as if I bet a lot.Well, I can't fault those who have gambling strategies because that is their decision and how they believe it will work out for them. However, if I want to gamble and use someone else's strategies, it might not work out for me because that person is the owner of the strategies or I might know a little bit about the method, which could lead to me losing my money even though we all know that's how gambling works.

Its sad that many people believe ui and obvious code works at the same time and can't tell their difference. I think people are too much visually addicted so they don't understand what's going inside. Also people just go look around casinos or gambling websites only to win. They count themselves unlucky if they can't. Some claim all games are rigged against us. Its very sad that some gamblers have very weak mentality. I hope people develop themselves.

Indeed!

This is where people should really be wary of on which there's no such thing about strategy or ways on how to make yourself at advantage in speaking about those coded or programmed applications or machines which
there's no way for us to tell if those are fair ones or not.We've seen that there are people who do win up and this what makes us to be interested or really spark out our emotions and this is why we wont really be that mindful much when it comes to fairness.Its a common human being approach specially if you arent that having the past experience of these slot games.

You would really be most likely be going or continue to play without minding about its fairness as long you do see that there are lots of people who had been playing around or sticking with it.
As long you would really be that dealing on a place where popularity and recognition is high then it would really be that sufficient thing for you to get convinced that they are really indeed fair.
Some people are really just that too paranoid when it comes to fairness issue but im not really blaming them considering in todays lots of situation
where trust is always and issue.

That's funny that you bring up the pressing of buttons versus pulling the slot lever when playing slots machines as being considered a "strategy" for some gamblers.  I have been to in person casinos before and had friends who did the same exact thing.  I of course just laughed at them.  I don't think they necessarily thought that it would give them a better chance at winning, but it was more of a "good luck" type deal, where as you state...simply a psychological deal.

[Reid]

There are no patterns for the gamblers. Betting manually in Dice for a long time I have seen that. It's all a superstitious belief. But there will be patterns for the business itself. When they see you winning more or trying to increase the bet because you are feeling lucky, that's when they will take advantage of your weakness. The Greed!
They will try to take it all back and you won't even notice it yet until you found yourself cornered with low balance in your wallet. That's where gamblers will be more foolish and try to chase their losses. Another mistake that will lead to getting wrecked.

What you do is probably the best practice to follow. One shouldn't believe in patterns or superstitious activities when gambling, all you need is a small break and getting back to betting if you have already lost a lot of bets, that way, you will get to change your mood which basically plays a great role in gambling since you will have a control over your emotions.

Though a lot of people believe in these things, changing patterns or following specific ways for gambling, or believing things that are technically not correct is never useful or going to help them win anything more than they are destined to.

If that can make you feel great and comfortable on betting style you do then there's nothing wrong to believe on such thing especially if that could help him create his own strategy on the game. Can't also blame people to believe on something they think it really work since sometimes they learned that from people they are looking up to, that's why they also believe that strategy or belief might work for them. But we should remember that all is random on games which based on luck.

Gambling can be quite risky for people who don't understand the risks involved.

There are many types of gambling games in the world, but not all of them are fun to play and give us a good chance of winning. Therefore, it's important to stay realistic and focus on our goals. If our goal is just to enjoy, then we should be disciplined enough to only spend what we can afford to lose, and with that mindset, there's a slim chance that we will become addicted to gambling.

If our goal is to make money or consider gambling as a source of income, then we should gamble on games that don't have a house edge because that's the only way we can have long-term success in gambling.

They say that sports betting still has a house edge because in even bets, you'll only get 90% of your wager if you win. However, some sportsbooks offer high odds options where we can get +200 odds, which can overcome the house edge. If we consistently win on those types of odds, then it's possible to end up profitable in sports betting.

I know only a few people have succeeded in this type of gambling journey, but as long as it's possible to succeed, we should remain optimistic and try to be successful in the type of gambling that we love.

If there are patterns, that will only be in the Bingo and Keno game. You will need to hit the designated pattern to be able to win but this involves luck as you don't control the numbers that are being drawn. In business, that isn't what you call a pattern but it was a business plan however there is still a chance that a business can fail no matter how strict they follow their plan.

I guess it shows that luck really matters in everything, not only in gambling. Balance is shown when we play so it's almost impossible to not notice it going down. Gamblers just don't know how to stop once they are already losing because they think a few rolls will hit their target. Sometimes yes but most of the time not.

[Fortify]

As humans, we are conditioned to look for patterns in life and we gamblers try to make predictions based on what we see, while we are gambling. The reality is that these patterns does not exist, but we like to pretend that they do because it helps us to bring order to the chaos that are gambling.  

Some people seem to think that your bet size will increase your chances to win, but that is simply a myth. The reality is that it simply means your payouts will be bigger when you do win.

A lot of my friends believe that it is better to spin the Slots manually, because "Auto spin" are rigged by the casinos... but that is also a myth. A lot of things come into play when a bet is made and it has nothing to do with the "auto bet" feature. (Client Seed / Server Seed & RNG and RTP ...)

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

I'm not sure we're "conditioned" to look for patterns, as much as we're comforted by them as it suggests there is some sort of underlying order in the crazy world that we live in. However people are generally terrible at making sophisticated calculations and heavily misjudge what they perceive is a statistic that might work in their favor when it comes to betting. You suggest that the outcome is decided as soon as you press the button, but as far as the end user knows every single bet could have been planned out the moment they registered and is simply following a predefined sequence, designed to give the illusion and manipulate the players in the optimum way, if you choose to play the games.

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?

I strongly believe that these so-called patterns are made by the gamblers themselves in order to pacify the situation that they are facing. They are looking for ways to at least mitigate the damage as they are bargaining against themselves about it. When they see at least a glimmer of hope, they attempt to view it as a "pattern" and convince themselves that everything would be alright in the end.

Though this may be the case, I definitely agree with you that the outcome has already been pre-determined by the casino. Due to the presence of house edges, this gives the casino at least a tiny bit of advantage whenever you try to gamble on their respective platforms.

Back when I used to gamble, I used to believe that my every 3rd bet would win. So made bets that were divisible by the number of 3 and continued it. It at least gave me comfort but at the end I incurred significant losses.

Gambling casinos do not let us gamble to win, but for them to take advantage on our funds and make them profitable. So I don’t believe that they will provide patterns for us, instead everything is already controlled by  the gambling operators before we start gambling in their platforms. That’s how unfair gambling is. But we fail to see it at times we won, instead that creates more motivation for us that we can actually take advantage in gambling by creating some patterns. However, in the end, it’s always certain that casinos have still won back all our profits, because of the constant edge that they have over their players.
