Gamblers Belief

[JoyMarsha]

Would you give yourself a fail mark on something you haven't tried yet? Even if you gonna fail at it, you would still consider yourself to win the bet. That's the way the gambling feeling is. You will have a positive mindset that you are going to win, no matter how many times you failed.

The mental architecture of people is such that they tend to believe in luck. A believe that luck can shine on them someday despite how many failed attempts at gambling. That's why you see a gambler keep betting like he will surely win someday. The day he didn't bet on gambling would be like he have missed that day's luck.

The never give up attitude towards gambling can be seen with limited number of gamblers whereas the majority of the gamblers have known well about the situation and makes an exit/break. When it comes to gambling the never give up won't work as we all depending on luck for sinner, lunch. Never give up attitude should be carried when you follow your dreams or follow your passion.

Gambling is so old within the civilation and so widespread in western societies that I am sure there must be some paychological studies and papers on the beliefs and thoughts of the regular gambler out there on the internet.

We could argue that addiction to gamble (assuming it has some direct relation to the belief and faith of the people to solve their problems) have a root which comes indeed from unconcious disturbances within the individual, perhaps even dating from the childhood of them. Though, I am more inclined to believe the psycho-chemical theory which associate problem gambling with a production and later need for dopamine and other neurotransmitters in the brain.

We all.get dopamine and serotonine from several natural sources, but if we make gambling the main one then there is a problem building up, in my opinion. One need to diversify one's life with other activities.

I believe every disfunction has two main factors as causes: an environmental and a biological one. Addiction is executed through a trigger. The individual has to identify this trigger and its cause. Since we talk about environmental factors, it's possible to avoid them by adopting determined measures which can be elaborated by the person himself, or with the help of a professional. Controlling the environment it's possible to reduce considerably the impact of the addiction on the person's life and even completely remiting its symptoms, depending the case and the weight of biological factors.

Usually the trigger would really be having that goal on becoming rich with gambling on which this is the one of the main reason on why people would really be pushing up themselves on playing gambling just because
on having this kind of pursuing on what they do have in mind. Greedy at the same time because they are thinking that with gambling, this is the only way that they could deal fast money or quick cash. If you are still that aware on your actions then for sure you would really be stopping yourself on doing gambling or not really having that kind of intent because if you do have this mainly on your mind then you would
be pushing yourself on playing more.

Gambling is for fun nothingless but there were people who do really have those impressions which are totally different on which this had been the reason on why they do really end up on
losing huge sums of money or messing their life because of their wrong impressions towards it.

If someone really wants to become rich with gambling, the best way to go about it would be to play the lottery from time to time and get lucky. If someone is not rich already, how would gambling make that person rich ever? I don't have any calculated numbers, but I would suppose that turning 20 bucks into 20 million bucks in a casino is maybe as likely as winning a lottery for the same money. If they have to get started with small steps in a casino, their luck may not be exhausted for a very long time to become rich in the literal sense. They either hit the jackpot or they just won't get close to becoming rich ever. If they were playing heads or tails and double the money every time and they start with a dollar, it would be ridiculously unlikely to turn that dollar into a million.

You could really make out that kind of comparison and this is why to those people who do have less money, they would rather be buying lottery tickets rather than on gambling it on a casino knowing that those amounts
would really be just peanuts or something that you cant really be able to turn out those few bucks into millions which same as you said.This is why these are the main reasons on why it would be pushing up someone
on making bets on lotteries despite of the winning rate or odds which is close to impossible.

The most important thing on gambling field is that never ever make yourself spend on the money which is really that out of your limit because on the time that you are already doing this then you are basically
making yourself putting on such risks on devastating your finances which is something that must avoid while its still early.Each person does have different takes when it comes to
to certain things and having that self awareness on what they are doing.

If you want to see a person full of hope and belief, then gamblers are the perfect example. The hope of winning and the belief to win is found in gambling. Even if you tell them that gambling is risky and the result may come out differently (not in his favor), they refuses to accept it and have 100% belief that they will win at any cost.

This type of belief and commitment is not found in any other walk of life. People doing business or spending money somewhere have doubt and fear that things can do against them, and they may face loss too but the gamblers are so firm in their belief that they never look at the other side of the picture. They want the win, and they 100% know in their subconsciousness that they will win. that is the reason they will never hesitate to put money into gambling.

I do not agree with what you are trying to say, I believe there is a walk of life that even have a higher form of belief and which is faith.  Religious people are the best example of what I am saying.  I actually disagree with you that a gambler has that belief because as a gambler, I am not confident about the result, though I hope for the best I don't believe that the next role result will be a max win. I believe many gamblers also have the same idea as me when it comes to gambling and gambling result

I reckon, there is a better walk of life where people are thinking for the betterment of themselves. We're not just used to it and we don't see it when we're focusing a lot on gambling. Everyone, you and me, are all the same for the results and they should be positive. However, we don't have control of the situation thus, the results always differ. People is simply taking risk and that's why we are unsure of what's going to be the result of it but it doesn't mean we don't believe that we're not going to win.

[Chikito]

We are not talking about the result which comes later on, once they gamble. They may lose too but the passion and belief of winning among the gamblers can't be seen anywhere else.

That analogy should make sense, but as far as I know, almost gambler is hope 100% won. no one to expect or hope intention to lose, normal gambler is expect to win after put his bet to the table. I also often to see gamblers have a plan like : after this winning I will stop, No, I rare to see this, they will definitely continue, and deviated from motivated before until spending all their money.

There are gamblers thinking that way even they know the chances to lose their money is high. It's because of their expectation that gambling is the answer to increase their funds easily. Though we know it's hard to win in gambling, they still keep on playing and just ignore the fact that you can lose your money if you're not lucky.

Well, it's not bad to play and believe you could win however don't get your hopes too high. If you do so, then that's the start of the problem because it can lead to addiction if you can't control yourself since you're hoping to win.

Gambling is risky, but the gamblers are left with no option than to anticipate in it. Gambling generates both profits and losses; it all depends on how much energy individuals invest in it. I've never seen somebody with a profound belief compared to losing gamblers. They are impoverished and always expect for the most favorable outcome of their predictions. As a gambler, one is expected to be optimistic and confident, otherwise the odds of profiting from the space are minimal. Gambling is the only source of income for some people who rely entirely on it.

At first I misunderstood your point but as I got to the end, I got. And what share the same thoughts with you on what you have said.
Gamblers have that unshakeable optimism just right before they place their bets. I fear that sometimes it makes to be lose track of the reality. But I understand and I do not blame them. These beliefs are fueled by past wins and so-called closed calls with a loss.

If a gambler by stroke of luck won his last bet and was able to double or triple his wager, his belief in winning the next bet would increase and grow stronger. If he has a close call with a win which is actually a loss he goes back, does a careful analysis of what happened and convinces himself that if he had used a different method, strategy he would have won. He would convince himself that he would use that strategy when next he gambles. All of these fuels his optimism and excitement to believe that he would win his next bet 100%.

[Oasisman]

If you want to see a person full of hope and belief, then gamblers are the perfect example. The hope of winning and the belief to win is found in gambling.

Well, to be more precise, I'd say those people who purchased lottery tickets in a daily basis are the most hopeful and full of belief that one day they might hit the jackpot to have an early retirement and enjoy the rest of their lives. Some gamblers (casino gamblers) are actually not full of hope and belief, because there are others who are desperate to win, desperate to win back what he lost and desperate to beat the other player in the table.
Nevertheless, you can't just say that people with full of hope and beliefs can be best explained or an example is a gambler. In almost all aspects in our lives, we all are full of hope and belief to build a better life and a successful career. Honestly, I don't see any hopes in gambling, not unless if you own a casino or an online gambling website.

In past I thought people behaving only through belief are making a mistake. I would generally blame them being blind to life. But after experiencing some different issues I realized belief is very important source of life. When gambler believes to be successful he can be. Belief is reason that will push you through taking risks. And risks can create awesome outcomes. In my opinion gamblers are doing something right.

Gambling is a process that people engage their minds in. Participating in gambling only presses the win button because their money is bet.  Especially since I myself am a bit addicted to gambling so I bet and only think about winning and keep my mind so strong that I wait until the game is over. Real gamblers are full of gambling all the time and earn more money with more experience and always aim to win more. Until the resource is exhausted, one only hopes to get the resource back (if lost). Many have lost their betting fortunes while making up for losses.

[Crypt0Gore]

After all, you gamble by believing in gambling. You don't just say, "I'm going to give my money to this guy and I'm going to lose it," because you believe that your gambling will make you money because of your own analytical ability or luck.
Let's put it this way;
When you do a job for the first time and make money from this job, you ask yourself the question "what if?" Because your luck has gone well and when you make money from an area you don't know, especially from gambling, you gain self-confidence.
Gambling is, of course, a money-making / losing mechanism that always involves risk. You will continue on your way in a way that minimizes this with the risk and amount that only you will determine, because it is in your hands again. Even if your friend or friend says stop it for you, psychologically, it is difficult for those who step into this addiction once to get out.
Because here, when you look from the outside, it seems like easy money, but when you get into it, you realize that it is not always like that.
Even if you have your last 1 dollar left, maybe with that 1 dollar you will start dreaming of becoming a millionaire.

You have a point, but gambling is a game of luck that's needed to be treated as a game of luck, since you are betting on your luck you should know that we can't always be in good luck, that's where people need to wake up and use their senses.

Game of luck is something that we shouldn't have much expectations from, the luck side of thing should bother you if you know what you are doing, this is where you need to know that losing chance is much higher than winning side.

It's possible to win on a good luck day but it's much more possible to lose, you don't need to be told to gamble with low amount of money that won't remove a hair on your head for anything, expectations to make money from gambling should be the lowest.

Losing money through gambling is real and far more possible to happen.

You should reduce the time you gamble to reduce your gambling addiction. It's worth doing so you don't see your gambling addiction grow because if it grows and you lose control over yourself, it can make a mess of your life. Never think about winning because it will be difficult to get but enjoy gambling because gambling is just entertainment. Real gamblers can make money because they can limit themselves by not exceeding the limit, so they will not lose more money. Even though they were losing, they managed to control themselves well and took a moment to calm down their emotions.

Maybe that could be one of the way to stop being addicted, reduce your time to gamble so that it could be beneficial for the gambler it could help them to reduce gambling spree and will help them to reduce their expenses as well. In some thread they set a certain percentage that can help them to minimize gambling expenses but for me I think setting up just only a limited budget and time can help us to at least avoid addiction.

[Maslate]

gamblers are happier when they gamble and also hopeful to win. if they lose, they will still have hope that they'd win the next time they bet. you can't put good gamblers down.
even the gamblers who already lost everything, you can see them they are still laughing at their mistakes. i think the only gamblers who are already lost hope are the ones who successfully committed suicide.

It's a never-ending cycle regardless of the outcome of their bets because that same hope will never cease as we have a saying that tomorrow is a new day, and that is the reality for us gamblers. Being hopeful is fine as long as we know how to keep our boundaries so that we can still keep ourselves entertained in every time we are gambling, the bad thing will start if we will be chasing after what is already lost, and worse it will become a habit.

[CarnagexD]

Hope is a good thing, until you let it poison you.

It's good and great and all that but sometimes staying grounded and realistic will save you from trouble too. Such as with gambling, you can't stay hopeful and faithful to the process cause you know out of all people that the process is rigged against you and it will come for your ass if you let it. So staying a little realistic and setting up boundaries is just as important as having the propensity to take risks. Just as what some people have told you about in this thread, having hope is not going to guarantee you wins. It just gives you the confidence to make those choices and switch up when you need to. You have to differentiate staying hopeful to copium and making belligerent choices in the name of profit.

absolutely. there should be a balance between realistic expectations and having an audacious goal. Having a clear set of rules with your gambling would be how much you are allowed to lose in a day, how much time can you dedicate each day, and how many transactions and deposits you could allow yourself. those rules will help you save money and not lose it because you have clear boundaries and rules for your gambling. This will also remind you that your luck is not every day. So when the signal is there that the odds are not yours, then just leave the table.

In most conditions of life, we tend to believe about some certain things even when we know that there's no certainty in what we are hoping or believing for, yet we make more steps in building confidence on a positive outcome, gambling is for fun and not for making money, it's not an investment or a means to earn profits as other businesses do, but when we have some earnings while gambling, it must be counted an opportunity and not a mandate we must always fulfil by making money from it.

is there any in-depth research on this topic of yours?

why do you generalize everything into one conclusion, fear must be possessed by gamblers because fear is one of human nature but self-confidence masks that fear.  people might think when i gamble, i'm not afraid of losing money but to be honest in my heart, i'm very afraid of losing money when gambling because getting money is a difficult thing nowadays but my confidence covers it especially in gambling which i'm very good at so the defeats i receive are very few.

[Cryptomultiplier]

The hope of a gambler often leads them into situations they often regret upon losing the funds that was meant for something else. Courage to do so without minding the cost is what even makes the gamblers belief in hope much stronger.

OP, you know we can also allot pride and ego to fit very well with hope in this gamblers corner, because the hope of winning must have been spurred from previous wins, and the mind that the cash used for gambling is inexhaustible and sufficient.
Inasmuch as what drives the gambler is different for different folks, hope for some individuals is nothing more of a believe in a better tomorrow and it has been programmed in the subconscious.
It only really manifest because the person has channeled it to focus on gambling.
