Mistake that prevented your big win.

[Mr.suevie]

So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

Greedy is basic human nature, nothing is wrong with that. I ever in the past when didn't take advantage of the opportunity so that make it all gone. what we can be done this is how to manage it. The meaning is, we should not do the same thing again in the future. So when we have the same situation again, we should be as much as possible to control it. I know $1200 is big money, who doesn't want to get big winning, but if the reality is we only can have chance wins of $200, there is no harm if only take that $200 only. 

That's a problem for most since not all the time we can control ourselves. There is a time that we are too aggressive and wanted to win more especially when we got the momentum already without thinking that the next bet will be our unlucky bet. That is why I would say that most gamblers usually can never take home big winnings. This is how gambling works, we can win at this time but can't think that we can win all day and this is because luck never stays long for us. 

Once you have started experiencing streak of winning the whole process plays in your mind and your head like an event that is going to continue happening because that thought of you actually lossing never plays in your mind and I bet that even after you pause for sometime you will surely go to try and win more which is why gambling seem somehow irritating especially when all those luck have ran out of you.

Smart strategy fueled up the good luck in gambling, a gambler have to possessed these key points inother to start reaping substantial earnings. Winning is the ultimate target of every gambler in the system, but not everyone would achieved this because they easily get carted away by greed. Mistakes occurred every single day in the system, I have made a couple of them and corrected them on the right path, we just sort out measures to reduce them and learned from the previous mistakes. Experience is the best teacher, one could learn from it and hope to become a more advanced version of himself.

After losing a few times using Martingale strategy I have not made such a big mistake again. I would rather play it safe than lose big. The downside of playing it safe is that you also won't have very big wins. There's been a few times where I chose a huge underdog, like Holly Holm against Ronda Rousey, but I was too scared of losing that I chose not to place a bet. The next day there was stories of people winning thousands of dollars from that event and I kind of regretted my choice.

[Fredomago]

I think greed ia definitely one of the biggest gambler mistakes ever. Many gamblers are making careful and accurate guesses but seek only more and more profits. This mood literally triggers bad omens in my opinion. Its best to be calm like water while gambling, not caring that much about it, not giving it utmost importance etc so you could wake good omens. I am not huge believer but I think this can work in nature spiritually.

And that is a mistake we often see on the forum, after all once in a while we read the story of a gambler that was already making a lot of money, but due to a moment of extreme greed they made a huge bet and they lost, then not happy with the results they decided to keep betting hoping to recover the money they have lost, only for luck to turn against against them and more losses to come their way, and when they finally realize what they have done the only thing they could do was to come to the forum and post their story as a warning for anyone looking to make huge profits while they gamble.

Sharing that awful experienced and trying to be a good example of being greed will not lead you to anything but just a suffering from big losses, it's better to have a calm mindset and not to dwell in any mistake that will let you out of control with your bankroll, if you missed or lose a bet or a chance to win with supposed bet better to stay focus and not to be aggressive, with calm mindset your strategy will remain the same and you can keep with the patterns that you are following, let that mistake pass and keep that composure never lose your control over your emotion.

You don't need to regret about it. You will get another opportunity. When you get it take your time and reason about it with a cool head. Any decision taken with a hasty mindset will not help you. Sports betting is all about data and how you use it deduce a conclusion. Yes you would need a bit of luck but mostly your mind to get to the desired result. Mixed martial art has been getting some serious attention from bettors. It is a good choice for sports betting as per my understanding.

unfortunately there are still many who repeat that mistake even though they have experienced this mistake in the past because it is true what you say that all of that will be defeated by greed. although a gambler who has started to learn from experience to improve in the future when one day gets a winning streak will change his mindset and ignore the lesson and repeat his mistakes even more to continue betting.

as bettors, we must always be smart about learning how gambling works to continue to think positively, not worrying too much about big wins.

It's better to play it safe and get a normal win than to risk a big loss, especially if we place a bet we don't know or we are in doubt. Every decision we make is better analyzed and thought about in advance so that we are really firm in making that decision and will not regret that decision. Sports betting requires collecting data and research about the teams that will compete. I don't know much about martial arts, so I've never bet on that sport, and even though I'm very curious, I still don't look for supporting information, so it's better for me to bet on other gambling games.

Learning from our mistakes is not as easy as some might think, there is a reason we make those mistakes to begin with, and unless we do some heavy introspection about why this is the case then when presented with the opportunity we will make the same mistakes all over again, this is why we see a person suffering an awful hangover and swearing they will never drink again and then a week later we see them making that promise again, and the higher the frequency of this pattern then it becomes less likely for anyone to ever change and correct those mistakes.

So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

When I gamble, I usually make a basic mistake, and until now, I haven't improved yet. My common mistake is winning many small orders, but when I encounter a losing order, I often tend to double my bets in the next orders and end up suffering a series of losses. I have realized that when I face one or two initial losses, my psyche becomes unstable, and I easily break the rules or strategies that I set at the beginning. I believe many gamblers may also experience the same issue. Therefore, the most important thing I am trying to learn and improve is my trading psychology to win consistently, rather than focusing solely on a winning strategy for big gains.

It's part of the game, you'll also have a feeling of missing out on something if you decide to cashout and not continue so it's better to risk and see what's going to be

Cashout is also an equally important part that affects your trading results. When I achieve a big win or earn a considerable amount of money, instead of cashing out and being satisfied with my earnings, I usually become greedy, which often results in losing all the money I earned.

This has often happened to many gamblers who are not satisfied with their wins. And that makes them continue playing gambling until they can get a big win. But instead of getting a big win, they only experienced defeat after defeat which, in the end, spent all their money, including the winning money they had previously managed to get. You better stop immediately and cash it out to not lose that winning money. And unless the winning money has not reached the minimum withdrawal limit, you don't need to continue playing to get more wins because that will be difficult to achieve.

Great comparison, there's a reason behind that mistake and without doing good adjustments chances that you may do the same mistake over and over can happen to you, you need to re-assess and take time to cooldown if you suffer from a loss or losses that you may avoid if you didn't make mistake, or something that prevents you to win, there are times that you are ready to go all in but you change your mind and the outcome happens that it's a win.

Regret is there and aggressions can bring you that pressure to re-try, but things did not favor you and you losses your pick, additional frustration that can be avoided if you did not follow that emotion inside you.

[QueenVera]

As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

Greed is one of the things that's made many gamblers to win huge stakes from gambling most times some gamblers would get up to 3-5 good games online from punters online and the game has low risk and high chances of winning  but instead of them to stake higher and win a fair price they'll want to include more predictions making it up to 20 games and stake little fees to win huge money that's very careless and such makes would always make them regret but I don't see your own situation as being greedy but a miscalculated attempt because if the other 2 games left had played you would have been giving testimonies instead of feeling remorse.
 But I get your point because even though you cashed out and the game played you won't had beeb very remorseful as you are went you lost, atleast you would've still had $200 instead of losing out completely, but anyways you've learnt a lesson and I hope you don't make such mistake because one thing is making a mistake and another is learning from it, I love the fact that most online casino are now being fair in rewarding customers with cashout options so as not to lose out completely and if your games have played to a point where your cashout is 2x greater than your stake then it's fair enough to take it instead of losing our completely.

[LUCKMCFLY]

How is there nothing wrong with greed? It's a negative emotion that makes you do things that are unnecessary only to get extra gains over what you are already getting or have gotten, and that usually makes you lose what you have already got which is why it is something that we should avoid at all costs. A greedy person can barely become successful at any venture, be it gambling, a business, or any financial situation in your life, be real and try to get what is rightfully yours or what you are getting out of luck but never get greedy.

The thing you mentioned at the end is exactly what greed is all about. When destiny is giving you the opportunity to get $200 which you can get immediately but you become greedy and wants to get $1,200 that only is a possibility and you might not even get it, you will even lose the $200 that you could get and might not get $1,200 as well.

This mindset needs to be overcome and anticipated, as expecting more in gambling often leads to the opposite result. We cannot control the website's system, especially in online games; instead, the system manages us. Humans cannot alter the outcomes predetermined by the system. It's a matter of luck – you might experience a big win if you're fortunate, but if luck is not on your side, you may end up losing more.

Well I agree with what you both say, in part if I have $200 that I won I think that is an indication at least for me to withdraw with profit of course there is the other part which is if I bet that full $200 to make at least 1200 usd is not a bad thing , but that risk implies something very Important that if it is lost, those 200 usd that we already had secured and tied up ready to be withdrawn will go away, it is a decision that is difficult for many , but I have it clear, if I withdraw it based on my criteria, based on my experience, I don't care if they later Classify me as fearful , or a Person who Does not like to take Risks , because that is Something that can also Happen.

In the event that we decide to risk it , and if it is lost , how do we stay? with a bad taste in the mouth, and our brain is something that we cannot avoid repeating the simple message of "you would have retired, you would be enjoying that money" that Always happens, of course now, if not, it is possible, it leads to a profit of 1200 usd is because firstly he was very lucky and secondly he has an angle that does not leave him, that's for sure, so there is no choice but to celebrate, but obviously that is a very remote possibility, I would not do it.

Each person has the power of decision, things can happen as long as our way of thinking decides it and sees it as something correct and possible, I know how I act in the face of some eventualities, but I cannot expect the same reaction from another person, such as such maybe the other person is in a better financial Position than me and doesn't Care if he takes a risk or not.

When we are in a casino , sometimes our logical and reason thoughts can be distorted and go elsewhere, because the same Emotion of the casino makes these logical Thoughts decrease when playing, it could be the casino environment, the music, all this causes an effect of another type of environment that is pleasant , so when we decide to play we have to have a Plan for Each event that Occurs.

[Slow death]

as bettors, we must always be smart about learning how gambling works to continue to think positively, not worrying too much about big wins.

the reason why many people seek to win big is due to the fact that when a person, for example, makes sports bets and always bets on games with low odds in the long term, no matter how much that person manages to hit many bets, that person just loses in some bets you immediately lose money and this brings frustration and depression, imagine that you have a month hitting 10 bets with odds of @1.25, you are happy and celebrate, in your head you start to be very optimistic, you feel like a true gambler esporivo, but in just 5 days losing 5 consecutive games and when you look at your balance

you realize that you are already at a loss, you think: what was all your effort and victories for a month for? your head starts to hurt and you think: is it really worth it to keep betting? and when you decide to give a few more chances, you spend hours analyzing the game and then betting, hours later you lose, your frustration increases and all you will think about will be giving up and never betting again or you will start looking for bets that when you win you will have high profits that to put you in losses will be very difficult because you would have to lose a lot. so with that you would already be beating the bookmaker. this is the reason why people try to bet on high odds

[Juse14]

So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

Recently I won from the lottery gambling where I should have won a big win but that didn't happen.

In a full week I placed a lottery bet with a relatively high bet, but it's a shame that that week I didn't get any wins at all, the numbers I placed didn't hit at all. So this is material for my consideration to continue playing with big bets for fear of deeper losses.
So I decided to lower my bet on the lottery game, and unexpectedly I won when I placed a low bet. But I'm quite grateful for it...well, it's calculated as a replacement for the losses that I experienced before.

Consistency in determining the amount to bet is also important

[STT]

Surely the mistake would be to always take the cash out and this would literally prevent any big win occurring because you will cut every bet short not allowing it to play out.   I would ideally want to cash out half the bet and allow the other half to ride.   Your cash out could pay for the bet win or loss to take place and mean you cannot lose any of your original stake, this is the ideal.     My mistake would be a repeated one, planning to bet later but forgetting to do so and running out of time.

True, everyone has their own decisions when it comes to gambling. Different emotions and mental states from time to time will influence a person's decision-making when they win. Sometimes, when I win, I always remember the times I lost, which makes me continue playing. Of course, no one can be blamed, even the player themselves. Although it may be the wrong action when we think rationally, during the game, emotions lead us to a state that ultimately eliminates the chance of winning that was right in front of us

Yes, we all see that at some point when we are playing many things go through our heads, including stopping at a moment to stop playing and protect our money , then we feel that if we should continue playing, but something happens, that We leave with doubts, and at least it has happened to me that when I was left with that feeling, I was looking for the opportunity and began to make those types of plays that I had pending, and when I ended up in the game, I would arrive exactly at the exact point where I always stopped , and if I took a risk, but it was not going very well, from there I realized that things in the casino should be taken calmly , not looking for the biggest Profits , because when I looked for them there was the turning point, At least for me those were my results, that's why I've learned those Details of not Getting out of control as Well , and most of the Times when we feel that we should have continued playing , it's Better not to feel it, because I didn't just try once, I tried. more times and no success.

Of course, there are times when players are Successful, that's why I've always said, he who has luck has it, there's no doubt about that, however, I believe that things should be done here with great intensity but not despairing , those feelings of "I feel that I must continue" you have to be very careful , and think that what has been earned if it meets expectations or not, in my case I learned that things must be done at a much higher level of measure than the to let myself be Carried away by impulses, as far as I am concerned, I am only speaking from the point of view of my experience, which perhaps has happened to some and they do not say it, or only their Personal experiences remain as learning, for The Reason is that I have Always Applied, that I take care of the Balance I Earn.

There is also the option that there are many players who continue to take risks and leave with success, here it is a matter of personal decision, whoever Wants to take a risk is within their rights and if they can do it and win , then all my Admiration and Respect.

Wagering on games does not guarantee earnings; we must develop our own way to achieve that. Over the years, I've made a habit of underestimating typical clubs, always leaping to conclusions without first researching the game's fundamental structuring and statistics. We've all made mistakes that have cost us enormous losses in wagering. Perhaps I regretted mine whenever I flashed back in time, but it was critical that I fixed them because it affected and repeated in all of my games. Presently, I'm relieved because most of my flaws are reduced to its minimal extent.

This is the problem of gamblers as they always have that positive thoughts to win the game. Some gamblers goes as far as not giving up in their gambling activities when they have the opportunity to quit after a good win. They will believe that since the game is in their favour that they should continue playing and they forget that they might not be lucky in the next game. This pushes them into betting more than quitting because of the greed of winning more,which ends up into a great loss because what they have won will be taken away from them. Greed is the road to big loss.
