Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health

[Y3shot]

I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.

Your friend is not the first to do that, and he will definitely not be the last to also do that. I have seen a lot of cases where people make plans and budgets for money that they have not even seen or that have not gotten to their hands. What gives them that mind is what I can't truly tell because even if I win a game today in any casino, if the money is not yet in my wallet or bank account where I have full control over it, I don't make plans for it because we have seen so many cases of even winning bets that still turn out to be void at the end or the casino refuses to pay off.
 
If your friend was so much in need of that money and had much preparation for it, why wait for the game to play till the very end, where the last game in the slip has to be cut? Most casinos always give one a chance to cash out their game if the next match has not started, or even if it has started and it has a higher chance of winning, they still give you a reasonable amount available for cash out. He should have gone for it and saved himself this stress that he went through. What led him to that was overconfidence, which he should learn how to reduce in order to survive in this gambling world.

He should have known better not to build so much confidence in an unsettled bets even if the whole games have won and he have just few minutes before the end of the last game,  this is very important because in some cases most of those that bet in such manners always face a lot of depressed situation due to not meeting up to the expectations on a game,  as of the limit to which some one can take be seriously to the point of building emotion around it is when the gambler is smart enough to have used the cash out features to take profits when he thinks he already have enough balance n the cash out since some of the games already won.

This feature of cashing out balance is the reason why I choose Stake over other casinos since its cashout features have helped me to take profits in bets a lot of times.

Gamblers should be able to control their emotions, because this is what makes one a discipline gambler. He got sick because he put all his hope on a bet that hasn't come to pass yet. This is why it is called gambling, because gamblers have that hope that they will win the next game and if it turn out the opposite way, they become disappointed.

There is no guarantee in gambling that you have won the games, until it is over and your predictions were correct. How will one plan on how to spend money that he hasn't won. Don't play gamble because of profit but for fun.

[Vaculin]

Gambling will definitely put your mental and emotional health at risk. That is the reason why as much as possible, do not see gambling as a means to bring you profits all the time. Gambling will never guarantee us to keep on winning. And believing that gambling can be a reliable source of income is a very dangerous thing. Instead, gamble to make yourself relax and entertained, and not in a way that it will pressure you especially if what you are getting in the end is a series of losses that put your life’s savings in danger.

Dont make yourself that already anticipating or making out that conclusive approach until the match is over. I could really be able to tell about the feeling about winning a particular parlay on which your last match is really that giving off that kind of thrill and excitement at the same time specially if its a close match on which you cant really be able to determine on whose gonna win. You cant really be making yourself that able to avoid on not to chuckle with every score that would be made in both teams. If you are anticipating for a sure win but ending up on a loss then it would really be greatly affecting your mental state but of course not all would really be that too sensitive when it comes to gambling results or outcomes. There are really just those moments on which you cant really be able to avoid not to think off specially if the said profit is really that high then it would really be a normal reaction but just been said that dont celebrate it yet until its over because as long that timer doesnt comes to zero then it isnt over and there's always those things that could happen which might be resulting into a loss.

This is why as a gambler or a bettor then you should really that make yourself getting prepared on whatever circumstances or things that might happen along the way. Gambling does really have that luck
factor on which it could be turning upside down on which you do see a one side kind of game but ended up differently.

In my early days in gambling, I use to have this kind of feeling, where after placing my bet, my mind will always be on the game, I will be refreshing my bet app and keeping in touch with the game so to see if there are losses, that stuff use to destroy my mental health, because I will be so focused on it. But with time, I started growing stronger, hence I will place a bet and look at it when the entire game is over, even after my loss, It won't get to me too much, because it's a normal thing now.
Gambling should be for the matured minds, you don't need to put all your hope a game you played, knowing fully well that it can go sideways, that's dangerous for your mental health. Using $1 to win $2500,  that's a huge🤗 expectation, have you also wondered what might be going through the betting company's mind if you had won that money too, going by that mindset, the betting company should be seriously going through depression.

Why would anyone rely on gambling wins to survive? That's exactly the issues I've been addressing in real life, as well as in the forum too... I talk alot about gambling issues

People have different status in life, different ways on how we earn, and what we can do to survive. Most people depend on hard work and other normal activity to earn for the living. But some do actually depend on gambling on how they survive. They more of hoping to have the luck or to instantly have a better life through gambling. So, if they happen to lose, people do suffer their mental health as they can't take losing more money. But what is surprising is, this kind of people still hoping to win in gambling.

This kind of scenario is not common and mostly happen to the people that hardly find ways to make a living. Due to the difficulty they face on their daily life, the only thing they can hope is to end their current status and have a better life.

[mirakal]

It's hard to gamble and never expect winning at some point because the main reason why we gamble is to earn winning profits. However, in order not to compromise your mental and even emotional health, learn not to gamble chasing for profits, but learn to gamble because it's one way to ease our mind and body. Otherwise, if one gambles and focus on profits, then there's only one thing that is certain, you will sacrifice your mental and emotional health that will put your life into a very dangerous situation.

[Accardo]

This example or question is for sport gamblers. The other kind of gamblers like slot players have no reason to wait for the wins. It plays out immediately and everyone would know their fate. Hoping or planning on some specific amount of money always ruins the day for the person, when the money bounce back as a result of one wrong move or prediction. Talk to him about minimizing how he thinks on his about to win gambling money. Stressing our mental health, with whatever reason, especially a constant thought on the losses is detrimental to the brain.  Disappointments creates a bad memory on the brain. And can endure for a long time. The more the player worries on his money the expressions he makes won't look genuine.  The anger can motivate the player to pursue his losses and end up failing to win again. I'll keep wondering why the game cuts by a single game. Imagine the fantasies on his head, during the successful winning of the other teams he chose. On the other flip, what is to come by losing it with just a single game, can be emotionally annoying and stressful. Thereby affecting the mentality of the gambler. Lecture him, OP, about how lucky he is, that soon he'll win big. Don't blame him or discuss about his mistakes. In such situation, the player, should be attended to with kind words. Discouraging words are not encouraged. Executing such a behavior after losing a game doesn't show the spirit of gambling in Op's friend. Also, greed causes the defaulting of a gambling technique. Placing 1$ to win 2k dollars. He assumed the ownership of the wins, not remembering how much he staked on the match. Explain to him how frugal a gambler he is towards staking money. Whenever we notice an unbearable or unfamiliar behaviors from a close friend. So, that he won't take a bad decision, which can hurt more their emotions.

How will you gamble with $1 and expect to win $2500? When a bet like this is placed, you shouldn’t even have hope that you are going to win because the early matches played  were won, which does not mean you will be luck to win the remaining matches. Just zero your mind that you are going to win till all the matches are being played and you see that all your predictions are correct. When gambling with that little amount and expecting to win a very big amount of money, the person should know that their chances of winning the bet are very low, so you shouldn’t even have high hope to win the bet.

Many gamblers had used huge money in the gambling and doesn’t earn due to bad luck,But your friend must be lucky.Because the gambling only help the gambler who had luck in their pocket.Honetly the betting was made on the luck means,he will get huge return from the gambling.But if the gambling was played on the time of unlucky,then the money used will be loss.

The gambler should take some rest in the gambling to avoid of getting sick due to the continuous play.Because the continuous play will give some stress,if you get the continuous loss.Only the continuous win happen in gambling.If the gambler play the game without any emotions.

I hope you don't mind if I ask you, but what kind of symptoms did your friend show when he was sick from this event he suffered while betting ?

It makes me curious how strong is the influence of our minds to control our physical well being. Just think about it, someone is feeling perfectly well, both mentally and physically and then something like this happens and cause them to be "sick" for days.

When you say he got sick you mean he got depressed and could not get up his bed or he actually showed some unexplainable symptoms, like fever, vomiting...?. Whatever was the case, I hope you friend is doing better now and take this passing blow to his mental health as a lesson for the next time he decides to count on money he does not have yet.

[Iroh]

You do not count your chickens before they’re hatched. You definitely do not start to make plans for money that isn’t yet in your custody. The disappointment people get from this can be overwhelming and very frustrating. People have been ruined and wrecked after making plans for money that would be hopefully theirs.

I think people who gets really hurt by their losses when gambling are those who due to being so unrealistically hopeful and optimistic, having positive thoughts only about the funds to be won and already how best to go about using such funds all before they’re actually won.

I thought he was sick because maybe it was his last money and apparently he spent it all so that he was mentally disturbed and it had an impact on his physical health. I have never experienced anything like that, usually I get angry easily and get annoyed easily if I lose a lot of money when gambling.

Gambling is a game that uses money, no matter how strong our mentality is, if we spend all our money on gambling it will definitely disturb our mentality and can have more fatal consequences. Because losing money or not having money will be stressful, especially if you already have a wife and children, it will be even worse for you because they will scold you or corner you in the position of the guilty person.

[dothebeats]

People shouldn't really be counting the chicks before they hatch. I guess your friend has already made some plans for the prize that he's 'supposed' to receive, that's why his reaction went like that. Had he not made the allocations and budgeting in his head when his initial legs on the parlay were winning, he wouldn't have suffered that much IMO. I mean, everyone will be kicking the air after a missed x2500 return on their stake, but it's still something that isn't yours to begin with unless you have won every leg so why suffer that much?

He put all of his hope with that bet, therefore money is the main concern why he felt bad with the negative outcome. Gambling no doubt is profitable but will never provide a consistent outcome or winnings. Some are indeed making a living in this industry but always consider those who are losing huge amount of money in gambling. Best thing to do is to set the right mindset; knowing when to stop and learning to never bet all in no matter how confident you are with your bet. This would be a preventive measure to not be affected by that much of whatever the outcome is. We cannot control one’s mental health which is why we have to take the initiative to lessen the risk of getting our emotions involved with our bets.If you would be too hopeful of your gambling results or gambling wins, then never expect less of addiction afterwards.

Gamblers should be able to control their emotions, because this is what makes one a discipline gambler.

It is a must to control emotion. A person who can't control emotion doesn't deserve to be a gambler.
Controlling emotion isn't the only cause/reason for a person to be disciplined. If you want to be disciplined, you need to stick on your rules. Commitment is the key to discipline.

He got sick because he put all his hope on a bet that hasn't come to pass yet. This is why it is called gambling, because gamblers have that hope that they will win the next game and if it turn out the opposite way, they become disappointed.

In my opinion, he got sick because he bet with too much money but it end up with a loss. He may try to increase his bet since he wins huge money previously. He isn't aware that there is no guarantee to win constantly. There should be time for losses, it can't be avoided. A gambler should understand that he will never have an ability to maintain the wins.

There is no guarantee in gambling that you have won the games, until it is over and your predictions were correct. How will one plan on how to spend money that he hasn't won. Don't play gamble because of profit but for fun.

No problem to gamble for profit but make sure to gamble with a realistic amount of money. Don't expect too much to win a big money, just try luck to earn some money. If we are too obsessed to win bigger money, it will end up with the same story as OP explained on the thread.

[ralle14]

It's almost the same thing with a parlay because the stakes go up after every win and in some sportsbooks, you'll sometimes see the amount as there could've been an option to cash out the bet.

In gambling, you can't entirely remove the idea of winning money, but it can be suppressed to a level where you start to care less about it. It's okay to ride a bet until the end as long as it's an insignificant amount but your friend got carried away and only realized the actual amount after he lost the last game.
