What I've learned so far as a gambler

[blckhawk]

If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

This is easy for someone to say but if you ever do that for real, you will not be able to do that, the serotonin that you get when you win is going to make you decide differently and make you want to stay gambling even more because your brain if not discipline will make you think that your luck might not be running out yet so you push it even more until you lost all the money that you have, I dare you to try it for real and see if you can do it after a win.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

That is not the devil whispering, that is just your mind and you only trying to justify playing another game and yes I do agree that when this feeling of whispers is starting to accumulate, it is a good time to stop but then again this will be based on your will and discipline again. If you can resist playing more games then good for you.

The only game where you have some power is in Poker, not the online one, this is the best game in casinos, as making profits off of bad players is possible.

As for Other games, You are at the mercy of the house.

Blackjack has the lowest house edge so technically, it is not just poker that you have some power or control. But it can be argued that if you are doing good in Blackjack, you might raise some eyebrows in the casino as Blackjack is notorious game for card counters which is not exactly illegal but it is definitely frowned upon by the casino.

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.
Always remember this, you are there to win a game where its statistically impossible to win at, it's not impossible to not understand this about gambling, a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

I am at a loss here, you are not most people that say that casino is for fun including me, I do not think that people that think like that is going to be good for casinos because playing for money will inevitably lead you to the path where you will try to chase losses.

A gambler that knows what his doing, knows when to stop.  A lot of times, you can actually go to casino with that same $200 and you will end up not winning a dime. So for you to even double your invest by gaining another $200, that's a plus to you. So like you said, the best thing is to leave after a successful win,  don't let the devil trick you to stay a second,You can fight another day.

About the thing that a gambler that knows what he is doing knows when to stop, I kindly disagree with you about that, not generalising all the gamblers but mostly many gamblers become addicted because even from the start they know their limit or what they are doing, it is unavoidable for a gambler to become too addicted for a certain reason. Logic and thinking responsibly will be nothing to a gambling addict. That's why, from the start, if you know you can't control yourself, don't do gambling.

About doubling the initial capital, it's not that easy and you can't always do that. That's why it's much better to know when to stop and when to don't. For example, if you have $200 and you are playing for quite some time and still not gaining or doubling your capital, you should know that you need to stop. Don't push to reach that. For example, you can stop if you see that you've earned quite an amount. A win is a win, and a profit is a profit, no matter what amount it is.

True what you said, most of them when they get a win they will shake with their intentions which initially will withdraw all winnings and when winning there will be a sense of dissatisfaction, curiosity, greed, which encourages them to continue the game and like you said they will feel their luck has not run out, so they decide to bet again to continue the game, because with so many strong drivers making them to play again.

They themselves decide in the future to make decisions they will be driven or haunted by high curiosity and greed that controls them, they should know if they continue the game will be like what, and they should feel enough with the winnings they have earned and cash out the winnings and then go from gambling to rest their minds and enjoy their winnings.

Yes, just take your winnings and get the hell out of there. The moment you think you can double the winnings, that is the exact onset of your gambling addiction. Listen to so many gamblers who struggle with its addiction and you will hear this familiar line like, "my addiction started when I won $100 , $300, $400 and continued gambling." Their new goal will be to make even more money. From there onwards, they'll continue to invest significant amounts, even exceeding his initial winnings. It is a spiral that doesn't end and soon after they are caught in the gambling web.

Why do you say that? It has been proved many times that if someone can play good poker in land-based casinos, he/she is good in online games too. I think it's because this body language stuff is bs. What matters is the size of your bet, the time you spend before betting, and your previous actions in this regard. Whether you are playing online or in a real casino with others at the table, doesn't affect your performance in the long run.

~ a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

If you ask me, the man who said it wasn't that wise. Owning a casino isn't enough to make money. It's a complicated business and you should know how to run it.

Those who get involved in gambling must have a goal that they will bet and from there increase their money by winning more and more. The number of such gamblers is high. There may be some number of gamblers who may come to gambling for a period of time and after winning from there they will quit gambling again. When a gambler wins, he tries to get the next win and thus his demand increases. This is a common nature of gamblers. I myself will try to research how to get another win if one wins. But if I win 200 dollars, I certainly won't bet 200 dollars in the future, and I don't think I'll have a chance to win 1 million or more from gambling. I am sure those who continue their gambling with the aim of getting more will definitely lose all their money. Gambling should be done under control otherwise there is a chance of losing everything.

you are telling the truth to gamblers who bet for money. I mean betting with the aim of making a profit of course they will gamble and after getting a win they will find it very difficult to stop because the thought "I can win again" is always a terrible mystery for gamblers like greed which can ignore self control even greed like this can destroy healthy mindset.

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.

dont misunderstand the meaning of some of the words you say because there are most people who gamble just to have fun. In fact, I also think of this as just a place to entertain myself like playing video games and I am not a hypocrite that when we are playing video games it impossible. we want to lose continuously, of course we also want to win and its the same as gambling.

Always remember this, you are there to win a game where its statistically impossible to win at, it's not impossible to not understand this about gambling, a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

makes perfect sense. but unfortunately not all bettors gamble only for money.
as we know logically, big gamblers who are able to bet hundreds of dollars or even millions of dollars may be a whale and they could have set up their own gambling business but they choose to gamble. this is what I mean by gambling just for fun.

I think stop playing is the best for someone who can't afford to lose his money. Gambling is very much unpredicted, playing a again can be a time to lose the money entirely and not having anything left. Playing gambling and still winning back the capital is still big win, one don't really needs to win million to call it a win. It is better to to win the capital than lose it all without having. Still keep on gambling is not a guarantee to win this time again. The best thing is to just have a break for the moment and try again. Playing continously is as if one needs to win desperate which losing always trun up to be painful.

You're just a damn genius!

Doubling your money is better than losing your money to zero. Who will argue with this? - Nobody. Which gambler would do exactly this? - Nobody.

It's almost like "the best fight is the one that doesn't happen". In gambling, it’s about the same thing: “the best gambler is the one who stays away from the casino”.

Just so you don't end up among the bad players, but otherwise, this is an ideal scheme.

This mentality is one of the major setback of gambers as they ain't contented with the amount they won and I just think is greediness. You will see a gambler play a casino and wins some amount of money that's almost double of the amount they budgeted to play with instead to stop betting they will feel that they can win more if they continue playing and by so doing all the money vanish.

Though gambling is meant to be played for fun whether we win or lose but in a scenario whereby we make some profit in it then we can stop playing for that day, one can still continue some other time as continuous playing might lead to excessive losses that will be regrettable at the end.

[Suzume]

I have learn as a gambler don't do anything with emotion. Emotion is the main enemy of your life in gambling sector and in your real life. Emotion force you to take wrong step and emotion force you to decide very fast which always creat problem in your life. Emotion control help you to being success in your life because if you can control your emotion then you can think what you want to do what you can do in cold mind. Gambling help me to know how emotion controls helps in life.

[danherbias07]

Come one, degenerate gambler.

We come to conquer and take casino money as much we can, 200$ is not enough to pay the bill ~XD Go get 10,000$ and moving on to other casino. In-case you lose, at least the first casino are on net-negative.

Just add some joke on these.

Haha.
I don't think I have the guts to go that far. Just $500 of profits will put my tail between my legs and I will probably run. That's a lot of money in my country and I would definitely withdraw if I get such an amount. It's enough to pay the bills for a month or two mortgage, electricity, water, and internet with some groceries too.
I still believe there are a lot of gamblers who are disciplined enough to take advantage of what they win from casino games. It's not easy to win there so we better get out if we multiplied our capital by two times or maybe even higher than that.
Savour it first then go back to gambling like a brand new player again. I mean, it can help us refresh from all the stress that gambling has done to us. I've done it twice and I can say it's worth it, took my two sons to the mall and let them eat what they want and play what they can. For me, it's a satisfying part of my life.

If I go to the casino and can double my money then I will try to keep the initial capital used and only play with the winnings, maybe not playing the same day but the next day because I want to enjoy the fun, because even though losing money is not fun but I'm sure there are many who still go to the casino because the intention is just for fun and you know that when you want to get pleasure in other forms there is also money that will be sacrificed to get that pleasure, indeed there will be those who say it's stupid to get pleasure from gambling because people always associate gambling with throwing money or other stupid things, but not with people who really just want to get pleasure from gambling.

That is how most people do when they gamble or do something that they have set a limit to, if they are enjoying what they are doing and are having fun they tend to be loose with their limit and so end up breaking it up entirely. OP is out of touch and think that his advice about people just stopping when they have doubled their initial gambling money is a pretty easy especially with a lot of people not being trained or have a discipline to quit while ahead.

You are right, in most cases it has been seen that when one wins a bet but for the greediness takes another take and ends up losing his main fund along with the profit. And I think most of us gamblers have faced this situation more or less. And I think in most cases, this situation has to be faced more when playing slot games of casino games. I myself have faced such situations many times.  But now, so that it does not become an addiction, I have not set a limit in advance that if I win a certain amount in today's bet, I will no longer bet. It is the same for losing.

[piebeyb]

That's a good experience my friend, you have learned a lot of things from the gambling you do so you can share that with beginners through this thread in the forum, it's important to understand that when playing gambling you have to be wiser as you said in the thread that all games are true. above the control of the dealer so don't feel confident that you can beat the dealer and it is also important to learn to trick your mind or divert your mind to a more positive mindset, consider it as entertainment, something that is fun, it is very good for you to do it.

I also learned a lot from all my gambling experiences, the most important thing is how to limit your gambling budget consistently because if you can do what you did above it will automatically be done. Limiting whatever time and budget will make it easier for us to control it well will help we can avoid addiction.

I think it would be better if it's like this "As long as you win even how small it is, go home". Not every time you gamble will make you lucky enough to double your money. A small winning is still considered as winning. Be satisfied with every win you have, because no one knows when you're running out of luck.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

No. It is only your greed; Aiming to get more winnings and assuming to make more money as you're currently unsatisfied with the current winnings. To avoid this, you need to have control over yourself and discipline.

[livingfree]

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

Haha, this is with everyone. We tend to think that we can still go on for some more games and that's why even if we've got enough money and profit.

We think that it's fine to at least do some or a few bets before we leave the casino. Yeah, someone is whispering us and telling that it's fine to carry on because you're not on a losing streak.

But if you're too soft and not careful, that mindset you've got is going to be the main reason why you're going to lose more than your profit together with your bankroll.

You're right, that's how gambling addiction begins. The one where you have already won double but you still want to increase it because of your greed. Learn to be content and control yourself when it comes to this because regret is the last thing.

I know someone who has won double like this but because of his greed he used up all his money including his car he bet just to get back the money he lost, this mindset is wrong for me. If you want to increase the money you won, I think you should bet 10% of what you won when you lose, maybe stop there and be satisfied, especially if that win will change your life.

Emotion control help you to being success in your life because if you can control your emotion then you can think what you want to do what you can do in cold mind. Gambling help me to know how emotion controls helps in life.

However, you have to learn to control your emotions, especially since we often gamble, where we will experience an increase in emotions along with what we get from gambling. Making decisions due to increased emotions will also affect the results we get so if, for example, we lose, our emotions will definitely change. There is a possibility that we will use even more money. So we have to learn to control our emotions well so that we will not be affected by any situation we face and can still enjoy gambling well.
