Don't gamble if you don't have patience

[Oasisman]

I guess everyone understands where you're coming from and how it feels to be in your shoes as everyone have experienced it at least once in their entire time in gambling and that includes me. One thing that I have to avoid when going to gambling is when I'm already pissed had a bad day just before I started gambling, I know it will most probably going to end up bad - so that's the only time I can control myself from lossing money, but when you're already there and then you became frustrated and pissed because of successive losses, you'll probably going to empty your pocket in no time, going all in will make it faster lol.

been there, done that! However, I don't think it's the best strategy to withdraw funds to your wallet every time you want to take a break from gambling. It can end up costing you a significant amount in transfer fees with each withdrawal and redeposit. Instead, it might be more cost-effective to set a budget for your gambling activities and only withdraw funds when necessary or when you've reached your target winnings. Remember, saving those transfer fees can add up to more gambling fun in the long run!

This happened to me already twice in a row. I'm gambling for a long time but this is the first time I experience this kind of messy situation because it involves the fck up mempool.

I deposit my funds in a casino using a low-priority fee. I managed to triple my bankroll by playing a quick game of Blackjack with huge bets. But since my deposit is so frickin slow to confirm while I don't want to bump my fee since it will create a different transaction on my account. Due to my winning streak while still waiting for many hours, I decided to just play slowly using a 1$ bet. This 1$ bet grows to all-in because I just keep losing for an insane lose streak just because I can't withdraw my funds.

Sharing my personal experience of my recent losses so that no one will commit this same mistake. Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

Which site you are playing? If your balance was credited despite on having that set low transaction fee or something that hadnt been confirmed then it is indeed an instant deposit casino which it is really that
not common nowadays because most of platforms now are requiring 1 confirmation before your deposit would credit out. Would you mind on sharing up that casino name? so that users of this
forum at least would really be that aware on about a site which offers instant deposits.
Getting bored or really that in a rush on withdrawing but because of high fees then you would really be thinking on playing a bit more and hoping that the balance of yours would really be that be growing.
You would be thinking that you might be still lucky and able to make it even more bigger but we know that luck isnt always on our side. It might be giving out that luck change earlier
but doesnt mean that it would last up a day. This is what usually happens if you are really that impatient or having no self control towards yourself.

Now is the time for gamblers to have the biggest patience in the world. Staying way from gambling or online casinos the best decision you have make for yourself right now. I am here wondering how many gamblers can share the same of how much losses they have had within the last couple of weeks. I know you may be tempted to keep gambling because the transaction delay but don't. There's nee other way to say more than the OP has.

You would really lose up money if you are really that impulsive when it comes to your emotion on which you would really be having that kind of act on all-in bets just because you do have in mind that you cant really be able to withdraw right away then it wouldn't be that bad for you to play even more while waiting. Just like on what others been saying above that if you are a kind of person who do have that short patience or having that short temper then you would likely to be doing such act on where you would be playing even more.This is why on the time that you do have this kind of feeling then it would be better that you should
really be finding other activities which would divert out your attention. Making some withdrawal request on the time that the network congestion is already that been solved or already fine.
There's no such thing that we can do if the network is something like this where it does have lots of pending request but if a casino could be having that dynamic fee then it wont be a problem but for sure
it would be taking up a huge slice into your balance which is something that we dont really like.

When it comes to patience it is a really important virtue on betting. Because it makes people make their choices wiser. I have had some serious issues with patience while betting so far. Maybe not most of the time but in some time periods I was so focused on betting on the nearest matches to win as quick as possible. I mean I wasn't even caring about how much information I had about that league and the teams. I was just focused on winning by trying my luck those times.

I don't think this is good at all especially if you turn this into a habit. Thankfully I'm not doing it anymore but there have been many times in which I lost money for no reason. It is always better to bet on the matches you trust the most no matter on what day the matches will be played.

[Slow death]

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was a bet in which, after the game was over, the person who bet changed his mind and canceled because he thought that the team he bet on would lose, but after canceling the game, the team when he bet on her he won the game and after that that person got irritated, this happened to me a lot and for this reason I started to do the following: when I place a bet I don't enter the casino until all the games are over, with that I avoid that I have some kind of panic and cancel a bet and I also avoid watching the game in which I made a bet, only in rare cases do I watch it, but I do not enter the casino

now it is strange that the bet is not canceled but we are talking about delay in depositing and playing blackjack, I also do not understand why they do not use altcoins like litecoin to deposit in the casino, I use litecoin as a deposit method in the casino, I think it is an altcoin very good for this purpose, it doesn't have high withdrawal fees and it's very fast, it would avoid OP going through this whole bad situation, bitcoin without a doubt is the best currency, but you have to be a little critical sometimes, and when bitcoin is not fulfilling its role well so there is no shame in resorting to altcoin until bitcoin improves and fulfills its role well

Sad to see that happen to you but this is something that we usually see happen. It's true that we as gamblers should be patient when it's about to deposits/withdrawals that we do.

As understandable the situation of the network, it's too clogged and will take time until our transactions get confirmations. And that's why when you've got had enough winnings already, don't gamble it as you'll be encouraged to do so and your emotion will tick you until you've got nothing left.

It's best to still control yourself and not just your patience but also your emotions so that you'll still got something to withdraw when you're able.

Patience is a virtue everyone should have because it will be helpful in all areas of our lives. But like you rightly pointed out gamblers need patients because gambling involves money and an act of impatience could lead to imaginable losses. Most times this might not work the way it is meant to but we still have to endure such challenges to enable us to follow our plans. The slowness of the transaction was an unexpected event and it affected your plan. But you need patience to continue with your plan regardless of the problem. The best option you had then was to wait for the reflection of your transactions and if it was taking more time than enough, the next step would be to stop gambling and keep waiting. But we all make mistakes but what makes us better is our ability to learn from them so that we will not repeat them in the future.

If you dont have that patience then this isnt only making some mistakes on gambling alone but also in other aspect or things that we've been dealing off with.Any impatient decision would really be ending up to be disastrous if you arent really that thinking up that sensibly or clearly. Always assess on what are the things that would possibly happen if you do this or do that. It does have that corresponding result.Its not bad to gamble since its our money but if you are really that having plans on withdrawing it but been hindered just because of the huge or high fees then its up to your own choice
whether you would wait until it would subside or would still continue to play and would be busting up all of those balance as you do like. Of course we dont like to lose money in gambling but
we know on what the reality on the time you do step your foot into this field whether you would be that lucky or unlucky on that particular time when you do play.

Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

I believed you are just frustrated that's why you decided to stay away from gambling for a while now.

I'm sure, as a fellow gambling enthusiast like me, you can't surely resist the temptation once you return to your relaxed mind now haha. I am just kidding bro. But yeah, that experience really sucks. Being excited and excited to play but deposits are stuck while on the other hand, instant withdrawals aren't available at the moment.

Just as an alternative, I'm now more on playing at online fiat casinos recently, for now, while waiting for the mem pool to flow smoothly.

[ralle14]

I had a similar problem last week when I made a deposit to place a few sports bets. Instead of the confirmation stopping me from cashing out, it's the minimum withdrawal amount, as they increased it way too high than I expected. Using BTC to deposit and withdraw between casinos is the worst right now, and it's best to temporarily use altcoins until casinos adjust the fees and minimums back. On the other hand, there are casinos (for example, Duelbits) that would let you cash out your balance through another crypto regardless of the crypto you sent to your account.

Or just don't gamble if you don't have the money  . Kidding aside (not really), I'd say it's just because you were rushing for it, which can be seen as patience but I reckon it's something different. I mean you were rushing for funds here for some reason which meant you had or needed to spend it for something. I say try to just leave, close the casino when withdrawing and check it the next day instead. What I do most of the time. If it's still there the next time, then just retry.

Don't get me wrong it happens to the best of us imo. I've had some instances of it as well but I never really went past the point where I'd gamble it again while waiting.

So, the issue you're facing is that the deposit you made is taking longer to confirm, but the gambling site has already credited the amount to your account. As a result, you were able to use it for gambling and you even won. However, since you can't withdraw the funds, you became tempted to continue gambling until you lost control and depleted your entire bankroll.

The thing is, not all gambling sites credit an amount to your balance before it is confirmed, typically requiring at least one confirmation. So, you were fortunate that the gambling site you used allowed it, as unconfirmed transactions can be canceled, and gamblers could potentially cheat in such situations.

Ultimately, it's important to remember that the issue lies not with instant withdrawals or slow withdrawal processing, but with a lack of discipline.

[danherbias07]

Sorry for your loss brother.
It's not just you, many gamblers right now are growing impatient about the transaction time of both our deposits and withdrawals. Do not let this get in your head or your mindset will be messed up and winning games will be more difficult if you are stressed out.
Just let it pass, for now, somehow it will be fixed when the developers see the bigger picture about this problem. I checked and it's still the same for a low-priority transaction, $1, 3 hours.
Just stay out of gambling for now until you receive the complete amount that you are waiting for and next time, estimate the balance a day before if it can still survive one or two more days.

[Darker45]

Bitcoin for gambling isn't the best choice these days. I'd rather use altcoins. Stablecoins are a better choice. There's also Doge or LTC.

With the exorbitant Bitcoin transactions fees and confirmation that is too slow it could take days, we better manage our gambling funds well to avoid making deposits every now and then. We could also choose to leave funds in our casino wallet if they aren't big enough.

Lately, however, I have been choosing to gamble with fiat. It's more convenient this way.

I have always only bet with the money I had in the bank (balance on the site), I think it is totally wrong to have a balance that is not yet available for use, no matter how good or bad the game's odds are.
Anyway, everyone has their own strategy and what might work well for you certainly wouldn't work for me because you need to have much, much greater game control.
In any case, it's really good of you to share this because I'm sure other people should do the same and if they read this maybe they'll start to be more careful too.

Good rest from the games, I hope you can resume soon and manage to reverse the damage.

Well, in this case you blame it on not being able to withdraw as the deposit had not been confirmed but I have known cases like yours, of winning a lot, withdrawing it, and after a while depositing it all again to end up losing it.

Here the question is more about knowing how to stop and hold on to the desire. When you triple your bankroll you have already had too much luck, too much positive variance in a game of negative expectation. Losing if you keep playing is the normal expected outcome.

I can relate to your experience because it also happened to me many times. I really like a casino where you can use your deposited money instantly even without blockchain confirmation because you don't have to wait. But the problem is if you already win and wanted to withdraw your money. Since you really have to be patient and control yourself not to bet again because chances are you'll lose what you won already.

Thus, my solution for this is, if i'm already contented with my winnings, I just simply logged out my account and return after few hours and see if it's already available to withdraw. To be able to do this of course you need to control yourself. Somehow it is working for me, did it twice. But now, I chose not to gamble for a while because i'm currently busy at work.

Maybe it's more accurate not to gamble when circumstances are very unlikely because of many things, like what you are experiencing. It's not easy to stay calm and have a clear mind when things are not going according to what we want, but isn't life will like that? there are times when circumstances that look trivial but damage our clear minds so that we make decisions that can ultimately be very detrimental.

I have experienced what you are experiencing but not because instant withdrawals are not available, but because the casino took a very long time to process withdrawals and it happened to be my first experience playing there, and because I was annoyed with the way the casino handled withdrawals I chose to cancel and play using all the money available until it's all gone after that never again played there, and also usually when playing without a clear plan it will make me have no direction so it is very possible to lose at a very fast tempo.
It's been unpleasant to wait for confirmation from the Bitcoin network but fortunately everything seems to be back to normal although there may be another attack.
