As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit?

[Blitzboy]

`

I am very realistic, I do not have false illusions, I am a gamer ruq has no limit because obviously the game beats me, in the end the game beats you as a player, so if I start to demand myself to look for very large profits to Even getting alive I'm going to spend a lot of money, and that's not what matters either, what matters here is that things can be done with our money to benefit us, I can't be a millionaire thanks to a casino, I don't see it as possible because of my bets They are not big nor are they with tremendous balances, as I have seen that some players make here, some players are very efficient in their bets, and I do not have much money or too much expert sopu and I believe that here if I try to play as if I were an expert , I take my loss at once, so what I do is read, learn and apply what many players do, the behaviors that they do in some games is what I do, I am not repeating many patterns, nor do I go through it In fact, the fact that I go to a casino and bet big, no, never, and that goes with me, there is no self-control there because it is good to know what I am getting myself into.

In this aspect, many things could be said, among the first that I will never establish a profit limit, I do not have the level to do so, because for that I would have to think about spending very large amounts of money in a casino, which I really would not , and in another aspect I see betting as much Easier , but betting on sports betting and there was room for everything , because I couldn't say what my limit would be, because it is also something that does not depend only on me, and that sometimes the strong factor has a lot to do with it, especially in sports such as football that are currently Obtaining results that we do not expect, the most logical results sometimes do not occur and in the event that I am very sure of making a bet on a team , I would be able to put enough money into it, to win quite a lot, that's why I don't know how much I would be able to bet to establish a goal, and I think it is something that I would not Recommend to anyone Either.

Do keep in mind that you're playing a game that always wins while you're babbling on about your plans, lack of resources, and ostensibly "learning" from others. You get it? The house always wins. If you're only dipping your toes in and anticipating an easy ride, reconsider.

Do you consider yourself a realist? Bravo for you! But let me tell you, in the world of casinos, realists typically lose first. mimicking the actions of other players after observing them? Is that your overall plan? That would be equivalent to thinking you could become president by reading a few novels.

betting on sports? Dont even begin with me. You believe that your toughest obstacle in football is the element of surprise? Wait till you realize the genuine obstacles that casinos present you with. But hey, keep acting little and persisting in your belief that you are in charge.

When I first tried gambling, I had this notion that I could always win a certain amount of money each day. Specifically, I thought I could win around $50 to $100 every day. However, my experience turned out to be quite different. I did win for five consecutive days while playing in an online casino, but it was very difficult for me to win even just $10 in the next few days. This made me realize that gambling should not be considered as a reliable source of income. It should only be done for leisure purposes, and only if you have extra money to spare. After all, we all know that gambling is not always the best way to earn easy money.

well there are some people that proposes a more advanced strategy of making up that losses by doubling their bet until it got even its called martingale and even that isn't sufficient, thats the thing with depending purely on luck, its just very random you could lose a row straight or you can win a row straight no one knows.
also the reason why many people are choosing to bet on something like sports in which they could be sure at what they are betting, they could make thorough analysis in regards of their potential bet and they know beforehand how is the condition of both teams going against each other, I guess it just gives them more edge to win the matches based on their own analysis.

[dezoel]

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?

For me, any amount will do as long as it was the lucky amount I've won. I don't know what you mean by "betting by weight of financial needs" but is that you should be betting base on your portfolio amount or the maximum winning amount you need to stop gambling?

That actually means that you might be placing bets to win a specific amount, if you want to win $2,000, you might make a bet with $500 with 4x odds on a dice game which will give you $2k if you manage to win the bet. This means that you are placing bets according to the weight of your financial need but if you are betting with just a small amount, it means that you are okay with whatever you manage to win with your basic betting routine and you won't go wild with the bets.

In my case, I never make higher bets only to win bigger amounts because I don't want my bankroll to get over just after a few bets, I like enjoying my gambling sessions with small bets and high expectations of getting a big win since I usually play slots which can provide pretty high multipliers.

It will never be easy to win gambling, even every day. We will never know how luck will come to us and help us to win even a small victory. So if we have a target of winning, it will be difficult no matter what target of victory we want to achieve because gambling is not a place to make money. And it is true that we should be able to treat gambling as a place of entertainment where we use the money to entertain ourselves, and if we are lucky, we can get the money. But if we are unlucky, we can lose our money in gambling, and when it's lost, well, it's already gone because we'll find it difficult to recover it. Even in sports betting, we can experience defeat because often matches that take place will change in the middle of half-time, making our bets fail to win. So it's better to have fun than to enjoy your time gambling.

Yes, you are absolutely right that gambling will depend a lot on our luck in gambling, if we set a target of big or small wins in gambling then this will put pressure on us in gambling so there will be very little chance of us being able to last long in gambling of course this will make us quickly experience defeat. Setting targets in gambling will prevent us from enjoying a gambling game. I also think that by assuming gambling is for fun, this will allow us to enjoy our gambling game.

from what I understand he didn't understand what the op is saying or asking. the op wants to know if, for example, people talk about the amount of profit they intend to achieve or not before placing a bet, for example if a person wants to bet on the real madrid game and that person puts the minimum profit that he should obtain in this game something like 100$ in profit, so even if the game has an odd of 1.50 this person will put a value of money that the profit allows him to have 100$ in profit, because that person has already defined 100$ in each game, in the case of the game which has an odd of 1.50 this person will place 200$. if it was in a game where there was an odd of 2.00 then that person would only bet 100$

the problem with defining a fixed profit value for each game or defining a fixed profit per day or defining a fixed profit per week or defining one per month and that person, even when having games with very low odds, will put a lot of money and lose, and when he loses that person will double the amount he places on each bet so that when he wins he can recover the money he lost and make a profit, that is, that person will start using martigale and we all know that this strategy is not something viable in the long term even if be used in sports betting

but unfortunately, people who do this only realize it very late and when they no longer have money to continue playing, that is in many cases people, after selling everything they had and having incurred a lot of debt, realize that they have reached rock bottom and that it's time for them to stop, but they don't even have the money to pay bills in the real world. That's why it's very dangerous to define a fixed amount of daily or weekly or monthly profit that you should have as a gambling.

[STT]

OP is questioning reliance on BTC for some kind of income however irregular.  People bet to boost or enhance a budget in some way.   I never would lean on this method but in very simple terms eg.  you only have half the new car purchase value, you go bet it all on Roulette wheel red.   If you win you double and get the money to buy the car immediately and if you lose you are walking for another year till finding a more boring way to get the money.   Personally I would not do this, I've walked too many times and its meaning I waste time when I could be working and gaining towards whatever objective I aim for.     Im boring I dont do this but I guess some do, in my example I just buy a cheaper car meanwhile and only bet much smaller amounts a game not changing my life choices or options.

Of course, if we have a winning target, we can rush to get a win, and that can affect our game. And the pressure will be even greater when we have experienced loss several times, and make us want to win immediately. If we could think of gambling as fun and entertainment, we would not rush into gambling and enjoy every moment. We will also limit the amount of money we use in gambling because we know that winning some money from gambling will never be easy. Instead of having trouble winning the game, we should enjoy the time of gambling, and in that way, we can relax and play enough until we can finally stop gambling on time.

I do not consider that I have a lot of experience playing, because the truth is that there are people who bet more money than me and that is to gain experience, if I bet more than anything in soccer and obviously there are surprises, a clear example was the soccer world cup, with Germany, Japan, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, the one that surprised me the most of all was the game of Argentina, which is the world champion and lost against Saudi Arabia, when these things happen, what makes you think? apart from the fact that I'm not only a fan, I also play, and almost all of us who play and are fans agree on the teams that should be bet on, as well as in contact sports, I mean boxing, haokido, which can be summed up as boxing and UFC, at least I have experiences in those sports, that's why I speak properly.

In casinos I play with little money, and unlike many players, when I play my slots I do not look for profit, incredible right? the why is the craziest reason, and it's because it relaxes me, what do you think? It's not logical for you, but if it is for me, other players may see why I do it, I don't stammer what I do, I say what I do, which is very different.

Regarding the style, I copy what I consider convenient, I absorb the knowledge that I want, because that's how I want to, who is going to stop me? as long as the one who sits down to play with my money is me, it's not anyone else, and as they say out there, everyone does what they want with their money, I can't do what you think, I can't and I don't want to play the way you play or how others play, and if I lose, it's my problem, because I'm the one who plays with my money, not with the money of others, then I can and I have the freedom to play as I want to bet on my sports and that's it In fact, that is the beauty of gambling, everyone has their point of view and is respected, just as you have yours and it is respected, I have my style and that is also respected, I don't see what the problem is there.

Some gamblers who want to have fun will not set a winning target because they already know that achieving that target is not easy and must prepare more money. It also doesn't guarantee they can win a lot or can reach their winning target, so they feel it's better to play gambling for fun. But of course, some people set a winning target, and usually, they are very familiar with many things in gambling and have been able to win many games, so they have a winning target. And that's okay too, because as long as they know the risks, they can overcome them. But often, if we have a target that we must achieve, we will tend to play gambling without stopping because we feel that we have not reached the target even though we have lost a lot of money and that also has not been able to make us recover the losses instead of getting or achieving the target.

I get what you're saying about handling money carefully. Yes, you are correct; winning is never simple. But viewing gambling as purely amusement? This viewpoint is contemptuous and simplistic. Do you believe that those who were enjoying the time created the great empires of history? No! It was the relentless desire of more: more territory, more money, and more power.

Enjoy your little hobby, but keep in mind that gambling is much more than just having fun if you actually understand what it is all about.

yes I agree with you that aiming for the victory we want to get is not very important, because this will only hurt us more and make us lose the profits from the small wins we get.

Deposit limits are things that we have to pay attention to, so we don't have to keep making deposits to chase wins at one time, because wins don't always come every time we play. indeed this is very difficult to do even though it seems easier to say.
But by continuing to consistently apply limits in each game, then in the future you will get used to it. And you don't immediately reduce your deposit limit significantly, but you can do it gradually from week to week to reduce the deposit limit you made.

You're recommending that we play the game of chance while idly viewing a classic film? Not all gambling is "fun and entertainment." It is a war zone. Its about dominance and subjection, which explains the stakes, the strategy, and the adrenaline rush.

Enjoy your little hobby, but keep in mind that gambling is much more than just having fun if you actually understand what it is all about.

Gambling is not a war zone for people who see gambling as entertainment and fun because they know they cannot make as much money as others. So instead of spending a lot of money, which might result in a big loss, they are better off gambling for fun and filling their spare time. It will be much better for them because at least they can have enough after playing for a while, and most importantly, they can stop gambling in time and not risk losing too much money.

For other people, gambling is a war zone, and it's normal if they think like that because that is the goal of each person who plays gambling. We are in full control of our money, so we should understand where we will use the money. And don't think it's naive to be able to make as much money from gambling as possible because there will be times when you will experience big losses. Don't let greed control you to pursue more profits from gambling so that you forget what your goal is to gamble. But if you don't think like that, that's okay too because we have different goals in using gambling.

~snip~

But how about instead of having a "winning target", you go about having a "playing budget" (i.e an amount of money you intend to gamble with for that day), knowing the fact that winning huge funds is not always that easy, and as such just play for the fun of it and if you are lucky enough to win that day, you accept it, but if you don't, you still accept it too, as gambling is not meant to be a do or die affair.

That means we are not looking for victory in gambling but only want to have fun like other people who play gambling. Don't have a winning target, especially if you find it difficult to win at gambling. It's better to use gambling to have fun, release tension after activities, and don't forget to stop after you have had fun. Don't be too passionate to chase victory, especially if you have got it so you won't be greedy.

It's better to use gambling to have fun, release tension after activities, and don't forget to stop after you have had fun. Don't be too passionate to chase victory, especially if you have got it so you won't be greedy.

It's better like that, let's say we are looking for entertainment and paying for entertainment that already makes us happy, gambling doesn't have to be about winning big with big money, let's say we are paying for a game that we can play at a children's game place where we can have fun there, that's the real way to gamble, don't aim for victory.

Having a winning target will make us greedy gamblers in the end that's why we still have to limit all expenses and also our wins and losses, don't be lulled by pleasure, whatever it is gambling always deals with risks so don't look for risks, play wisely according to the amount of money who are ready for us to lose it. because gambling does not always give us victory.

[Huppercase]

Well if I can have such thought running in my mind that must be because I am too hunger of the amount of winning I want, like for instance I in any case uses someone's money to gamble and I lose all the money I will be so worried to get back that money and if I started Winning while gambling I will be thinking of getting back that persons money I loses while gambling previously, although this what make so many people lose more they are supposed to lose while trying to get back the lost money from gambling.

Absolutely,That a crucial aspect of human psychology when it comes to gambling. The desire to win and recoup losses can often lead us down a dangerous path. It's a natural inclination to want to recover the money we've lost, but this can quickly escalate into a cycle of chasing losses and making irrational decisions. In the end, we have to remember, when we are making any bet, we should always be approached as a form of entertainment rather than to recoup losses or make a profit. Staying with that, will bringing us to problematic behavior.

If a gambler is playing a bet, I don't think there is any problem in playing multiple times, if you played and the outcome satisfy your intension, I may continue to play that bet as I don't see anything wrong in that but as soon as I hit the stop limit of losses, I will just logout and exit the gambling platform, I'm done for that day because trying to recover that loss is the main cause of over betting and revenge bet and the casino used it as a hedge against you to collect everything you have win over in the past.

In addition, lack of satisfaction will send you to where you don't belong in gambling, it happen most of the time if you are also the greedy type, contentment is very basic thing a gambler should have in them, when you over come them, anytime you loss a gamble, it will not be a difficult to walk away and when you also win, you will enjoy what you have won so far without been greedy.

[madnessteat]

I have heard and read about people gambling because they had no source of income,  a job or they wanted to add gambling as part of their streams of income. Whatever your category the bottom line is that we all gamble to make money though some group claim it's mainly for fun. But who would want to be losing money all in the idea of catching fun! ~

People are always willing to pay money for fun and it really doesn't matter at all what activity you enjoy. Someone likes sports, someone likes women, someone likes alcohol, and someone likes entertainment that involves risk - trading on the stock exchange or gambling. All these entertainments bring emotions, for which we have to pay and which make us feel pleasure. In addition, these entertainments can bring negative emotions - in sports you can easily get injured, after a closer contact a woman can turn out to be completely different from who she pretended to be, you can easily get alcohol poisoning or overdose, your assets can sharply devalue or you can simply lose all your money in the casino. I think you know what I mean.

But how about instead of having a "winning target", you go about having a "playing budget" (i.e an amount of money you intend to gamble with for that day), knowing the fact that winning huge funds is not always that easy, and as such just play for the fun of it and if you are lucky enough to win that day, you accept it, but if you don't, you still accept it too, as gambling is not meant to be a do or die affair.

There are many artificial limits that we could set for ourselves when it comes to gambling, not only we could use money as a benchmark, but we could only gamble for a predetermined amount of time, or we could only play a specific number of poker hands and limit ourselves in this way.

But at the end what matters is that the limit we set for ourselves is respected and as such we stop gambling immediately, otherwise regardless of the way we choose to limit ourselves those measures then will be useless.

I have heard and read about people gambling because they had no source of income,  a job or they wanted to add gambling as part of their streams of income. Whatever your category the bottom line is that we all gamble to make money though some group claim it's mainly for fun. But who would want to be losing money all in the idea of catching fun! ~

People are always willing to pay money for fun and it really doesn't matter at all what activity you enjoy. Someone likes sports, someone likes women, someone likes alcohol, and someone likes entertainment that involves risk - trading on the stock exchange or gambling. All these entertainments bring emotions, for which we have to pay and which make us feel pleasure. In addition, these entertainments can bring negative emotions - in sports you can easily get injured, after a closer contact a woman can turn out to be completely different from who she pretended to be, you can easily get alcohol poisoning or overdose, your assets can sharply devalue or you can simply lose all your money in the casino. I think you know what I mean.

Well, someone needs to understand that indulging into a pleasurable vices is expensive. All your examples goes along the line with gambling vices, all are expensive and can cause both positive and negative impact.
The idea of gambling is primarily for fun and winning or earning should come second, but because people are forever discontented, they tend to engage into huge pool of bets and huge rewards and so gambling now totally become the other way around. Money changes everything.
Just like how sports was really a sport before, but now it's all about money and business. Perfect example is when 2 elite boxers doesn't want to fight each other just because the deal did not meet their monetary demand.
