Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false)

[gabbie2010]

Last 2 night I signed up to an online bet called betking (become a KING) and I bet a virtual stake with 1700 naira to win 1,438,540.92 naira, but the game was lost and the bet that made it to lost was the last one I added, before I added the last one that made the winning to be this amount, I was having double thoughts like should I make the winning a random figure 1.5 million or I should stake it at 1.3? But out of greed I refused to bet the game at 1.3 and I added the one that lost the bet, what a pity?
Greed is one thing that gets some game lost, the stake we are supposed to win out of greed we add another that get the game lost.

That was greediness from your own doing, you could have initiated a 50% withdrawal from the total amount won to be on a safer side unfortunately you allowed greediness to overcome you, though from some reliable sources the reputation and credibility of the Casino is questionable, notwithstanding initiating your money would have reveal a lot about the Casino, however atleast your had learnt your lesson in a hard way you have to move on and forget about it, more opportunities might still come your way.

Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.

Your experience wouldn't necessarily encourage people to be interested in gambling rather a lot gamblers will learn one or lessons from your mistake, personally I would have withdraw atleast half of that money and bet with rest once I lost I quit immediately and move on

I wouldn't say your mistake is being greedy, but it's more about pushing your luck by including that one leg that cost you the win. I used to place parlays frequently back then, and it's normal to lose by one, so don't feel too bad about it. I'd also suggest checking out some of the sportsbooks available because they sometimes have a promotion on parlays, and if you placed that same bet on another sportsbook, you could've won at least a free bet instead of nothing.

I think it very much has to do with the circumstances under which that last bet which cost op his winning was placed, that will determine if it was actually a sheer of greed or just him pushing his luck, but based on what or how he explained what happened, i still will call it greed, not him trying to push his luck, and besides, it is commonly said that too much of everything is bad, pushing your luck too much can also turn into you being greedy if its done in the extreme way, Op said he wasn't so sure about that last game, but just because he needed more money as a potential winning, he included it, that is greed if you ask me.

Definitely greed is the most harmful thing for a gambler as well as for an investor. If you can’t control your greed then definitely you will end up making losses. When you are gambling, you should be careful and calculate all the expenses that you spend on a bet. Always set a profit limit and stop accordingly when it is achieved. If you keep on gambling then the chance of losing the money also continues. So whatever OP has mentioned, I am completely satisfied with that statements. Green always causes a loss bet.

[Outhue]

That's a very small amount and that shows that you aren't greedy, because it's gambling after all, with $2+ you are free to keep trying your luck because this is a sign that you are a responsible gambler.

A greedy gambler will use what they can't afford to lose, money they won't be able to recover from, just because they want to get a particular figure.

Also, I heard that this online casino is a bad one, start using platforms that high-rank members are promoting, I am currently promoting Fortune Jack and I also gamble on the platform myself, so I can say it's safe, there are others too, just DYOR.

The only greed in gambling that I am aware of is trying to recover what you have lost or just lost, and the other is trying to win more money after you've just won a round, instead of quitting you sit believe in the luck you just had, thinking it's going to go your way again, this is greed.

The mistake many gamblers are making is understating the game but not the system, if you understand what gambling system is all about you will know how slim your chances are, even if you want to rely on your luck you will give your luck a try with what won't affect your business and your life.

If you don't know how to play safe with gambling you shouldn't be gambling, the money we use or we should use for gambling must not come from our financial life, what I am saying is do not use money that's intend to keep your business or store running to gamble, if you lose such money you are sure heading down fast.

Basically, that's the best thing to do if you still have got balance left in your account. You better withdraw what's the best you think that you should have. You withdraw and then continue to gamble what's left with you, that's the most satisfying decision that a gambler can always do as he takes profit and then keeps on enjoying to gamble.

Yeah, they've got a bad reputation in the community and that's why if there are still interested gamblers going on with that casino they better find another one that has a good reputation and is known to the community.

[Zoomic]

BetKing is a scam casino, it's better for you to choose other casino that's more trusted and reputable, check the representative account in this forum whether the account has negative feedback or not.

The betting that Op is referring to is a Nigerian betting site whose brand ambassador is the famous Jay Jay Okocha. It is not the one that is flagged in the forum. It could be a similarity of domain name but one is .com while the scam is .io
One is fiat while the other is cryptocurrency.
OP, I don't know how you make your own bet but I do not look at my winnings when staking. I just put matched that I know will not fail and I do not really care about the potential winning.

  If only you didn't add the last game out of greed you would have been 1.5 million richer in your local currency, too bad, learning is a constant process and it's a good thing you've learnt from your mistake, although you learnt the hard way, one thing a dislike about losing a bet out of greed is because it makes one very remorseful and while having regrets one could develop emotional pains like depression and it's kind, I've had similar experience as well, but I've learnt from it though sometimes I still become little greedy when gambling buy I try to avoid including games that are very risky.

 There are many gamblers that have been opportuned to win a fortune through gambling but greed has made them miss out on such opportunities, greed sometimes is an enemy to gambling and people should avoid being greedy, if you're already sure of the outcome of an event, be cotempted with the profit it comes with or you could stake higher if don't think the profit is enough for you and not including more games to it. another thing is understanding a game that suits your strategy before including it into your predictions.

I'm tempted to argue here that your own case may not be issue of greed because you never got to the stage of cash out and left it to be filled. You only took a chance to maximize your profit and it happened that way. Any other game would have caused you to lose and not because you added one more game.

Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.

Don't keep fighting yourself because you lost or trying to chase back the lose because you will see yourself playing often and probably become an addict. You have to see your effort as a worthy one and anytime you are moved to gamble you can freely do so but not to put pressure on yourself. Opportunities come and go but they are never lost if you also identify it when it present itself.

Sometimes it becomes difficult for the gambler to control his greed in gambling. Some gamblers may lose big bets simply because of greed. I myself fell into such temptations. I had a chance to withdraw money on a bet that was bigger than my gambling bet but lost all the money due to my excessive greed. Sometimes there have been situations where I bet more money out of greed and lost at the end. So first of all in gambling greed should be controlled. It should be remembered that you cannot become rich in a day. If you don't win the lottery or jackpot. Gambling can be controlled with the mindset that you have to gamble patiently.

It will be difficult if their expectation is so high and they are approaching unrealistic expectation towards their bets most likely they will fall in that category. But if they just bet without any risky intention maybe they can enjoy the game and possibly can take home some profits on those games you played. Gambling can really be control if you are well disciplined and know how to acknowledge the risk.

Greed can cause a gambler to loose what he ought to earn and also loose along what he had already earned and saved, while gambling, we must have the courage to maintain the little we could afford to earn while gambling by reducing the risk involved and increasing the probability for winning than trying to win but ended loosing everything, some bets we made should not be on our emotional control but doing what is right to do at the right time and not being too greedy for a win in other not to accoumulate loss than winning while gambling.

That's very true and there have been many who are greedy in gambling instead of losing a lot of money.
They should be able to learn from other people's experiences that greed will not give anything and instead make them lose.
And if it is gambling, he better overcomes his greed because otherwise, he will only suffer defeat after defeat, which can frustrate him.
We have to manage the money and only gamble with what we can afford and when we have won, don't try to get another win because it will never be easy.
We must try to limit ourselves and know what we can do so we don't cross the line.

Well, I guess you are right... if we are greedy we can lose a lot more than one bet. In most cases, greediness comes when we are in some profit, and we want a bit more. But what happens is that greediness wipes out our balances and extra deposits so quickly... just because we wanted more in some second and we got carried away by pushing and waiting for some big win... that win sometimes comes, but in most cases, we end up broke after tilting.

[Razmirraz]

There is no point in regretting what happened, greed is very difficult to get rid of in gamblers, what you have in mind at that time wants to get a bigger return than the bet you applied. At least you have gained valuable experience from this incident, greed only brings you regret that has no edge. You don't need to regret the money you spent at the casino, it's not your right, you have indirectly let the money change hands by placing a bet there.

[Weawant]

It is true that greed can cause us our bankroll.  Since instead of stopping and quit one session for the day since we are winning, greed make us not contented and aim for a higher winnings.  So we decide to continue our session that make our bankroll depleted while chasing a win.

Sometimes it's just too hard to ignore playing that one bet that might make you lose all the money you were supposed to win so you can try this, play the game as you initially wanted to play because if you add the extra game you might lose but win without the added game.

Instead of taking the risk of losing all you reward, get the reward first then you can bet again to try winning more reward. When gambling we should follow our instinct because they'll always favour us. Greed is one of the biggest enemies of a gambler it can destroy any gambler.

One way of fighting greed when gambling is to always have a plan and follow that plan to the end, ignore the voice that tells you to increase your stakes to win more reward and stick to the plan you had from the beginning. Also don't think you'll always be lucky when gambling.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Greed first begins with the thought of having or adding just a bit more, and then it becomes uncontrollable.
In the case of gambling or betting, where this becomes a problem is when maybe a bettor wins once and becomes so confident or exited, that he decides to try again.
It also is a problem when one strategy of betting or gambling becomes too familiar that one only just has to play without thinking.

Greed is one of the emotions that lead men to gamble more than necessary. They don't just know when to stop and if they do, they just can't stop, mostly when enough is being drunk, it is a weekend or rest duration from work, when the wife or kids are too much to handle.

[bitzizzix]

Greed is human nature and when dissatisfaction is released it becomes a danger for him, and in gambling greed is a great enemy that makes gamblers feel dissatisfied with their winnings which will end in losses as well as regrets.
actually playing gambling can get full benefits if you stop when you are in a winning position even though it's not much. And most of them are never satisfied and continue to play in the hope of getting another win, and that's how gambling actually works which will make gamblers feel dissatisfied and continue to play with ambitions that will end in defeat.
and gamblers like that must be overcome immediately and it is an addiction that will make gamblers lose more than they win because of playing with greed.

Greed could either result in a win or lose but most of the time it would really be in lose considering that you cant really think up more when we do speak about whether on stopping and securing profits or cant think up

about making some strategies on your next bet just because you are really that pushing yourself on making that next bet on a rush way and this is why it would really be just that wise that you should really be
that wise on stopping when you are in profits and proceed if you are really wary about the risks, not all would really be having that kind of mindset if they arent really that greedy in the first place.
This is why it would really be that wise on securing profits while you are in greens or really on gains and dont push through for more bets if you arent that sure.

This is usually the case of situation into those people who do really aims for more when it comes to profiting because they are really that being mindful about having more
wins due to the current situation they are experiencing on.

If you want to play safe you most likely won't be having a change to win much. Word greed has a negative connonation but it doesn't mean being greedy is always bad. Especially if you want to win big you need to be a little greedy. Otherwise you would settle on lesser prizes than huge jackpots. So in short, yes, greed can cause a big loss but that's only because without it you wouldn't have big wins either.

But your question doesn't have one answer. And obviously opportunities like that are rare, but they will eventually come again. And they will come more often if you happen to be lucky. (Not in superstitious sense).
