How will you feel if it happens to you just like this?

[gunhell16]

People like those (me) who don't gamble for fun have this question to answer: how will you feel when you don't have money to stake a game that you predicted and better winning games you predicted played the way you predicted it and when you checked the winning was something that could have changed your life for ever if you didn't gambled again after such winning?

This question can be very tough to answer, but believe me, many people won't stop thinking of that if it happened to them, so I want to know your opinion about how you would feel if it happened to you.

If it happens to me, I can't stop thinking of it, but definitely one day I will stop thinking about it and see it as history or not yet, my time for big wins just like how it happened to me when I lost a bet that would have given me long-term smiles.

When I gamble, I don't take it seriously because my gambling is really just a hobby. If I win, it's fine; there's no problem if I always lose. Because I do it just for fun and sometimes just to relieve stress.

That's how I treat gambling here in the crypto gaming business. So I know for myself that I will not lead to addiction. This is something that sometimes I don't understand with other gamblers: why they let their passion for gambling lead to addiction when they can control themselves if they really want to.

Well the story is a very common one and I've experienced  this on several occasions where there was no money for me to place a bet and fortunately all the bets and games turned up to play and I can relate with the pains that comes losing out from a possible  winning.
Well as a gambler, there are alot of things you'll  experience, from losses and winnings and what matters is the lessons you get from all of them.
People really have to learn how to let go of the past and focus on winning the next game but it seems you were really pained from this incidence because this is already the second related topics with regards to this and I'm sorry all you missed out and if you want to be successful in gamble or a core gambler then you should always be ready for any opportunity that comes.

[SOKO-DEKE]

I don't think that there will be anyone who will not keep regretting losing such an opportunity if it truly happened as you come up with the story. Whether you are a regular gambler or playing for fun, if such a thing happens, you may not get yourself for two days because you keep having the imagination of why you have won the money.

This type of thing has happened to me before, despite the fact that it is not the amount of money that can change my entire life, but it is also a big amount of money to me. It happened like this: I predicted a game, and when I wanted to deposit, I was having issues with deposit due to a weak network, so in a few hours the games started, so I was unable to bet it, so I just forgot about it. Later, three days later, I tried to check to see if maybe which game would not come as I predicted, so when I just checked it, I discovered that all the predictions were correct.

[Gozie51]

If it happens to me, I can't stop thinking of it, but definitely one day I will stop thinking about it and see it as history or not yet, my time for big wins just like how it happened to me when I lost a bet

Just like you and likewise other people, such feeling is one that won't go away easily when you miss such opportunity but like every incident and phenomenon that happens, time is the only thing that will heal it.

I have lost some bets maybe twice that wasn't my fault but it happened not to favour me in that bet, I think benfica was in my both bets slip and they lost against my prediction, although not a life changing bet but I felt bad during that time. Yes we are human and missing an opportunity to have your life experience changed for better is really excruciating but time will heal.

In the end everything is defeated by greed, right?
indeed the biggest enemy of gamblers is only greed and emotionality which sometimes prevents gamblers from getting their big wins and what is worse is a gambler who almost never gets a big win and has spent a lot of money on betting at one time to get a big win but unfortunately that greed comes to dominate his mind with thoughts of wanting get even bigger and end up losing again like before.

basically, all gamblers must have good control to know the limits of when is the right time to stop to avoid evils such as addiction and greed, but this must also be supported by high commitment.

Yeah, you're right. Greed will defeat gamblers and they will experience a lot of losses even though if they could stop in time, they would not experience many losses and could even enjoy their winnings. Greed and emotion will clearly prevent gamblers from getting their big wins because they won't know when they should stop immediately, even though they can win a lot of money. They should immediately stop right after winning a lot of money, withdraw their winnings, and leave the casino to enjoy the winnings.

Unfortunately, greed comes when they want to stop and tempts them to go back to gambling for one more round and only then can they stop. And it turns out that the gambler was tempted and took one spin but apparently, he failed to get a big win and instead lost. This made him curious and he continued one more round so he had already used up the two rounds that he should have been able to stop after his last win. And everything turned into many losses because he lost all his money, including his winnings.

These places that let you bet and gamble count on that little voice that says, "Just one more time!" People and luck are not always friendly with each other. Like when you find a great treat and think, "Maybe just one more bite!" even though you're full. You ate the whole cake, bam!

As you said, quitting while you're ahead is the smart thing to do. When you reach your goal, take a moment to relax and look around. Getting better at self-control is more important than the money. Like a diet, you dont have to completely avoid cake, but maybe dont eat it all at once?

[AicecreaME]

Of course this will be something that I will definitely regret if it were ever to happen to me. But there's no point in sulking and crying over spilled milk. After all, if you don't really have the means to place a bet and play, you shouldn't. Because there's also a possibility that you will lose. And if ever you did, where will you get money from? Loan? Borrow from a friend? It will just bring you trouble.

Just do better next time. Work smart so that you could have savings and spare for your hobby and other activities that could bring you joy. This way, you can bet freely without worrying and thinking about what ifs - what if you will win or lose and just calculatedly risk it because now you can afford it.

[zuzie]

Yes, that's right, because behavior like that is only addicts and stupid people who do that sell whatever they have just to gamble, sometimes even steal to gamble, if you don't have money, why force yourself to gamble, whereas gambling is actually only for people who have money to have fun, that's a middle and upper class game, so don't force yourself to look for fun in gambling, let alone money because it will be in vain.

I probably wouldn't gamble if I didn't have money because I usually spend my time working and gambling only on work days off at weekends, I only use a little money as a small bettor just to have fun and if I don't have enough money I never will. gamble on that day, after all gambling must be with money that is not used and also gamble with money that we are ready to lose.

You have done the right thing because you can control the time when you will gamble, you use your time to do real work and gamble just for fun and you don't use enough money to gamble because you already have a good mindset. That gambling will lose the money we bet and we must be prepared not to regret it in the future and that can be said to be a responsible gambler and will not make you addicted to gambling.

Something that may change my life forever? It must be talking about something big but the question is, what kind of game is it? Is it like betting in sports with huge odds? or betting on any other games with huge bet amount but will lower odds? I ask this to make it more real and to compare with my own gambling limit. Since I'm a small gamblers only, I think I will never have the opportunity to win something that may change my life forever. Lets say I have the opportunity to win in something like a guarantee win but I have no money to stake, I'll try to get some money but not from a loan. Maybe I can sell what I have but I will not bet more than I used to bet even though I'm pretty sure that I'll win the bet.

Yes, that will happen; many gamblers have often had experiences like that. They thought playing one more round would be okay, so they continued gambling for another round. But the reality is not what they think because, with one round, they often end up losing. And many of them in that last round use rather large bets, hoping they can take home more money. But instead of winning, they lose a large amount of money that they have used so that the previous winning money will not be the same as before because it was used to bet the last time.

Stopping gambling at the right time must be done and these gamblers must really pay attention to this to avoid losing again while they have already won. But we know that this greed will keep coming to them to want to continue gambling and keep whispering in their ears to play one last round. Only wise gamblers can really stop gambling because they will not think about winning again after winning previously.

Much better to use the money from something that you own, instead of borrowing or loaning that might adds up to your problem if things turns against you, even there's edge or maybe some little assurance that the bet will win, we are still in gambling and no one can guarantee that the outcome will always be at your side.

Though, it's really a risk that you needed to take if you wanted to have that opportunity to change your lifestyle.

All on your own assessment and how willing you are to embrace whatever the result of your actions.

[wiss19]

if by chance my memory serves me right , back in the days when i am still active in local gambling in my former location ,
there is a time that I gamble for how many hours putting big amount in jackpot number combination but sadly never come my way, but when I lose everything and need to stand from the table? then that number combination comes out.
I know this is not too similar in your question but for me there is similar answer.
because the feeling is mutual and that is we wait and pray for that win , yet did not come my way .

You are definitely not alone in that and it happens with everyone at some point. It has happened a lot of times with me when I was playing roulette and betting on numbers. Whenever I place a bet on a number or maybe on multiple numbers, none of them hit and I feel really bad, and when at some rounds where I just have a feeling that maybe 3 will come this time but I don't bet, and surprisingly, that number comes at that specific round only to make me feel bad even more.

That is basically how gambling works, it is not going to make you win just because you are making large bets or thinking that you need to win something big. If you are extremely lucky, you might manage to win something without having to bet high amounts but if you are not, you won't win no matter what you do.

We need to exercise caution to a certain limit while gambling which can be able to help withstand the urge for addiction or greed that may comes in through continuous gambling at a stretch, gambling is not what we should blet our emotions get on us so that it wouldn't cause ue making repeated mistakes over time while we may be thinking of giving several attempts for a win in gambling, honestly this story started well but ended being pathetic because he eventually lost the whole money at the end.

I'm guilty with this kind of habit. There are times that I'm doing this kind of behavior but I don't come to the point that I end up losing given that I stop my gambling activity when I hit my break even point. There's some kind of control in me but yeah, it's a bad habit. This kind of mistake is due to thinking that if ever my last round win, it will serve as the withdrawal fee so I can take home all of my actual winnings. There are times that I stick with the one last round but yeah, sometimes greediness happens and I end up doing more gambles than I should be.

We are just humans and being greedy do normally comes out on the time that we are seeing some opportunities that we might be able to hit up the next win on the next bet or round which this is something that we do really bare in out mind on the time that we do continue on playing specially we do know that we do still have that balance or money that could play with then it is really hard to resist for us to make some other bet and assuming that the next one would really turn out to be a win. Those limitations or controls on stopping midway could really be applied but it would really be entirely be depending on how you would really be making yourself that strictly be able to follow with those actions which would neither be stopping you on getting wrecked completely. There are really moments in our gambling activity on which there are times which we do have that kind of gut or belief that the next roll would be a win and this what pushes or poke you to bet on next one unto another which it would be a continuous process as long you do have the balance then kind of urge to gambling or make bets would really be that so strong which most people do really fail on controlling themselves but not all though which there are really still ones who could do such thing without issues.

That's called "imagination" my friend, and I'm sure every gambler all had that one game they imagined will play a certain way, didn't bet and it eventually played as predicted. So such scenario is not new anymore to me, and I have developed a mindset that whichever game that comes my mind, and I didn't bet on it and it played a predicted will never bother me, because that's an exact sign to know if something is meant for you or not, and for the fact that I never placed a bet on it and it played, is a clear sign such winning wasn't meant for me, and the best thing I could do to myself is not to worry over it, as doing such will never solve any problem, but rather likely to cause you unnecessary headache that is not worth it.

I hope that you have a strong determination to maintain your view of gambling that gambling is just a hobby and just fun. Because what happens to gambling addicts is that they also have a view like that, but over time they get big profits from the gambling they do, which in the end they change their view that gambling is profit and a means of multiplying money. So that after getting this victory, they continue to play and continue to chase victory without control.

That's how I treat gambling here in the crypto gaming business. So I know for myself that I will not lead to addiction. This is something that sometimes I don't understand with other gamblers: why they let their passion for gambling lead to addiction when they can control themselves if they really want to.

Well, that's the hard truth many failed to realized. I can't bet more than I can afford to lose and if I layer loss, I don't count it as anything, will just take it as normal daily thing and move on to the next net if available. If you gamble this way, you don't have to deal with addiction as they so say, you will hardly run into debt because you don't play amount that is bigger to put you into financial problems, you will hardly go to the length of borrowing money or default loans which is great strategy. It may be painful if you lose matches or games you have high hopes on but when you sit down for a minute and think, it's worth thinking about.

I think it's easy to say that if you are holding crypto, it's so easy to consume the pains of losses, the only difference is that gambling take away everything while crypto still have something you can use to recover if you hold strong but even with gambling, right strategy and skill will mount your winnings consistently and get back from those loses you had earlier.

Gambling has taught me a lot. One of the conclusions that I have made for myself for my experience in gambling says that you can not be confident in their predictions a hundred percent as luck in this area plays a very important role. I believe that such conclusions have made many gamblers. Even if I was sure that my bet will play I would not put on the line all that I have unambiguously. I decided for myself that I can risk only those money after the loss of which I will not blame myself.

Unfortunately when it comes to gambling,  for some weird reason whenever you don't get to play but predict an outcome...I bet you the result usually goes that way and you feel this would have been a good catch. But truth be told, when you don't play..you don't use emotions, no fear whatsoever and your mind is clear which is why this works but when it's your money on the line the dynamics change...Which is why I have accepted that you can not win everything.

Right, even if a bet seems easy to you there's always a chance of losing it due to the unpredictable nature of the future. Unexpected events can turn even the simplest scenarios into near impossibilities. So if anyone is considering using a large amount of money to bet on odds that seem highly likely to win, like for example 1.0x to 1.1 ; I would honestly advise against it. Instead, I recommend betting with a smaller amount of money but aiming for higher odds to potentially secure a huge win.
