Is this a good advice?

[carlfebz2]

I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.

Is this true?

This advice is actually making gamblers believe that they can win when they spend a lot of more time in the casino, they strongly believe that not stopping or taking break will bring them closer to their jackpot.

One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.

On the time that you are being forced or already that being stressed because you are being pushed hard because of someones advise then it isnt really that healthy anymore or something that wont really be giving out that kind of good feeling on the time that you do gamble. It is really just that not right that you do keep on playing just because other people do say so? Its not really that something idea. You should play according into your own preference and interest and not on others likings. Somewhat there are really some points on which you would really be thinking that the things that they've been saying was true.
You wont really be able to hit up jackpot if you wont really be playing further more.

If you are that someone whose really have that kind of main thinking about hitting the jackpot then most likely you would really be listening into this advise but if you are that someone
whose really that responsible when it comes to your gambling activity then you wont really be caring about others peoples suggestions and advises but rather
you would really be sticking on your own on which i could say that it is really just that a must.

Certainly,  a very bad advice that gamblers should never believe. Otherwise, you will end up gambling with an empty pocket because of gambling addiction. And just accept the fact that the moment you gamble, you are already losing, and as much as you want to prolong your gambling habit, then the bigger the amount that you will lose, and not because you are already close to winning.

I have seen a lot of gamblers chasing their losses, so they gamble up to their last money but still have never hit that jackpot prize. This is mostly done by beginners, as they believe that after consistent losing, they might end up winning big, but it's never true, instead they lose all their money while regretting.

You're right and that's the proper way of gambling, gambling should be for entertainment and not a do or die activity to make money. You can't know if you'll win or lose a bet to be assured that you'll make profits. If you're gambling and making profits then you're lucky but that doesn't mean you'll keep making profits everyday and that's something every individual gambling must know. You're mightn't be lucky and stop before you're about to win.

But this doesn't mean if you don't stop gambling that you'll win one day. When you're tired or lost you should take a break. Resting is good for your health as it makes you to get your mind in the right state of mind and think straight. When you think straight, you can then decide better if you should continue gambling or stop for the day. Stopping for the day is always a good answer as you live to fight another day because if you continue gambling due to revenge, you can lose everything

Spinning slots or playing any other game of chance is totally random, no matter when someone decides to stop.  The truth is there's no hidden jackpot ready for the person who quits at just the right time - every outcome is pure luck.  Which makes it kinda sad when folks really believe those myths about almost winning big if they'd just played a little longer and  they get their hopes up, when really the results could have gone either way.  It's frustrating how those false ideas stick around and end up messing with peoples heads.  At the end of the day, each spin or roll is independent.  Walking away earlier doesn't change your odds of winning later on.  Those persistent myths can really lead people down the wrong path.

I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.

What I often hear people say is that you won't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. A follow up to that would be the more you buy then the more chances of winning. It's not exactly the same but I think the same concept applies. Is it wrong for them to say that? Not really. You can win the jackpot with just one or a few tries since it's a game based on luck but the odds are most likely lower.

Most people like to think that they can actually force their way to getting that luck that is involved in gambling. And every gambler thinking that this, is clouded with the more you play the better chance of you getting the win syndrome especially when it comes to gambling like jackpot or lottery. I can understand this type of thought on sports betting like football or basketball when you can you have slight chances of prediction the outcome.

Is this true?

To some extent, YES!!
For the fact that it's not guaranteed doesn't mean it ain't happening... That's why most time, I'd always wanna say gambling is more of luck to skills and experience - mind you, I'm not saying skills & experience isn't good to have, but sometimes they don't even matter..

This advice is actually making gamblers believe that they can win when they spend a lot of more time in the casino, they strongly believe that not stopping or taking break will bring them closer to their jackpot.

That's actually why isn't called " gambling"

Kinda confused with what OP said since the "quit too early" part and "not stopping or taking a break" part is contradicting. I'm just gonna assume it's the latter meaning, aka don't stop till you hit. Anyway, sounds like a dumb argument really, many people probably lost a lot of opportunities in their lives due to trying to hit some random opportunity they found and honestly, they have higher chances compared to gamblers who wish to hit it big in casinos. It's that same corrupted mindset that people think where money that isn't even theirs is already assumed to be, well, theirs!

It is a gambling thing and a belief between gamblers to always want to try again. You will not blame some gamblers or people who tell other gamblers this because they are only trying to share the believe which gamblers should have as a way to uplift the spirit of a gambler who maybe just lost. We have to just be careful who we are giving this advice, so we do not give to people who will misinterpret the meaning we are trying to convey.

Responsible gamblers do not have such advice for themselves they play the game by allocating their time well thus making them less excessive gamblers.
In my opinion, this kind of thinking is what makes gamblers continue to carry out their activities so that they can become addicted to gambling. People like this are usually very ambitious to win big, even though as we all know, gambling is not a way to make money or get a definite income, but rather to find entertainment.

How much time we spend on gambling does not necessarily lead us to good luck. The more we want to win, the bigger the losses we get, so we should be careful in carrying out gambling activities. Spending a lot of time gambling will encourage us to become compulsive gamblers.

It is a bad advice and it does not apply to gambing at all. Why do i say this? in gambling there are 99% chances of loosing, so why would anyone tell a fable about being closer to winning than loosing?

What should gamblers do? Focus on your gambling techniques especially the one that gives you highjer chances of winning. Have a gambling budget and do not do beyond your financial capacity.

No, that kind of word will just give a false hope to that gambler who just lost—a false hope that if he keeps on playing, he will eventually earn. What if that moment does not come? Will the gambler keep on playing until all of his money is gone, or will he suffer from debt or anything bad? That will never be advice or a way to uplift the spirit of a gambler. If you yourself are a responsible gambler and know how to control yourself, then you will advise them to stop and take a rest. Don't let your greed take over and lose control. That kind of advice or word is too risky; it has a lot of grey areas. If you are saying that it is just sharing the belief, then that belief is wrong; it will only lead to either a good or bad path. If you are experiencing numerous losses, then don't try to chase them.

A very bad advise indeed because it would really be just making you desperate because you are really that aiming for making money and not for entertainment.It all matters always on what are your
plans and intents towards gambling. If you do keep pushing forward because of the potential big wins that you are hoping, then stopping or quitting midway would really be unlikely.
This is why it would be advisable that never ever tend to hear out someones advise specially if its a fellow gambler.

Saying about you should not stop is something an addicted persons advise or simply they are really just finding someone that would do the same thing on what they are doing.
You would really be finding yourself on such big trouble if you are really that listening to them and following on what they are mandating.
Play according into your own will without needing others advise and recommendations.

Is this true?

It is the most stupid Word you will be believing from other gamblers.

Imagine you are so close then why did not happened? because you are not destined to have that in Life.
Gambling sometimes is about destination and not just something that will always happen.
sad but reality that this is not true and only a term used By addicted gamblers so they will have something in common and that is being loser all their life.

Stand for what you believe and understand mate , listen to no one but yourself , because remember that your money is at stake and not theirs.

you have a good gambling attitude so better to continue as that.

[bitzizzix]

Advice that seems strange, because no one knows that the luck of winning the jackpot will be on your side and maybe it won't happen until you actually lose everything and then realize that the advice is not true and actually makes you poor.
It's best not to easily believe in words that will actually turn things around, bet according to your own beliefs and according to your abilities both in terms of finances, time and the skills you have.
And enjoy your gambling game, maybe sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you lose. And have fun in your spare time with sufficient capital.

Is this true?

That's probably because you're reading it too literal, the jackpot that they're talking about is the freedom from having to slaving away your life for your gambling habits and I think that it definitely is the truth because no jackpot in gambling will be worth compared to your time and life being spent on other much more meaningful things. Or I am the one that's reading this wrong then if so I would say that they're the type of people that worship the Gambler's Fallacy through and through and no amount of logic can dissuade them, that can only be true if the game that you're playing is rigged in a way that there's a set amount of plays and then will guarantee you a win.

That's gambler's fallacy for you and peer pressure at work, they are already miserable at gambling although they don't know it yet and so they are trying to drag you with them in that metaphorical muck that they're stuck in. What you're doing is the right thing so don't be so discouraged when you do that, some might say it's cowardice but that's the bravest thing to do in that situation which is walking away and calling it a day.

This is the right mindset but I do hope that you're practicing what you're preaching because treating gambling as an entertainment is a difficult thing to do especially with money involved, you will only know that you've done it when you lose big time but then you are still genuinely having fun at gambling and not just fake laughing to prevent yourself from crying over those losses.

[danherbias07]

Take that hope out and you will see fewer gamblers or gambling addicts.

That hope is what keeps them going. Let's say they only have 10 bets left in their wallet and they will still sacrifice all of those because they are hoping in the next 10 bets the jackpot will come out.
It's a perspective that keeps the gambler gambling because they know somewhere out there their luck will come in and they will win big. But knowing when that will come is unpredictable. All we can do is keep on betting and wish that it will happen as soon as possible before our cash runs out.

Well, you have the right application on how gambling should be. It should be fun and entertaining but there will be times that it feels like we are being cheated and we just want that money back so that we can continue that entertainment.
Try playing a high-risk jackpot style of betting like 3 lines in slots, 16 lines high risk in Plinko, or 15 bombs in mines, and you will feel like the RTP doesn't even exist.

[retreat]

Yup, it's true that people who listen to advice that they can win more when they spend more time and money are misguided people and it's hard to make people like this aware because they are covered by their own stupidity.
They should understand that what they are doing is just a waste, and what you say is the right thing, regardless of whether they reject it or not is their business, the most important thing is that you are right and firm in your stance.

[Hirose UK]

Take that hope out and you will see fewer gamblers or gambling addicts.
~snip~

It doesn't seem possible, all gamblers definitely have hopes of greater achievement and hope can indeed make the situation worse but everything still depends on what is expected and how to make those hopes come true.
About hoping to win big and having to spend more time in the casino, this is clearly the wrong approach and has bad impact on everyone.

Well, that gambler mistake where they can't differentiate between what is good and bad for themselves, when they only listen to other people advice in gambling in the hope of winning then that is not something that should be heard or done.
We gamble and win when we are lucky and we ourselves determine when is the right time to gamble and how long in gambling to be able to risk money and have luck.
When gambler spends more time in the casino, the percentage of losses will also increase and they can even have greater risks.

[Kakmakr]

I see it like this :

I will explain the gambling pattern of two types of gamblers, below

Gambler 1 - [ betting ....$1 ==========================================================================================================
==========================================================================================================
======================================================================================] Total spend after 7 days = $5000

Gambler 2 - [ betting for fun ..... Day1 $1 ======================  spend => $100 .... Day2 $1 ======================== spend $150 ...etc...] Total spend after 7 days = $1000

Now let's say Gambler 1 persisted and managed to win a small Jackpot of say $3000 ........ what was his end result ===> minus $2000  

What I am trying to say is this, the longer you play... the less you will win in the end..... so just play for fun and if you win... it will be a bonus.  

[Makus]

The idea of keep trying in the mind of gamblers is one of the reason some of them turn to addicted and irresponsible gambler, gamble is not one of the ways to get rich except your can manage the risk properly without getting too irresponsible with your gambling stakes, often times, this idea is the reason some persons loose every thing they have. While gambling, I know my limit and I tend not to exceed my limit like making extra stakes, even if I am on a winning  strike, I quit when I am a bit satisfied with the loses or wins. People who act towards the idea of keep trying oftentimes end up in regrets after losing everything they have.
