The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured.

[maydna]

It will hurt when the game is almost over, but we lose. I think we have experienced that, whether in luck-based or skill-based gambling games. But that doesn't stop us from gambling, and some people are becoming increasingly passionate about gambling to win. They will no longer remember to control themselves because those who almost won really want to win. They will try to chase their win because they almost won it in the previous round. That will only make them lose more and more and can cause them to run out of money if they don't realize it and stop gambling immediately. As gamblers, we must remember that the situation in the casino can change at any time, and we must be prepared for that. Most importantly, we don't gamble with big money to avoid losing.

This is actually a problem where someone is too excessive in putting expectations on his gambling activities, especially on winning, putting excessive expectations will indirectly increase your disappointment when the final result really loses, and that's why we are more advised to make gambling an entertainment activity just to fill your spare time when bored. And also because there will be a lot of situations that look tempting that will certainly make you even more tempted, and the situation mentioned by the OP about failing to get a big win also certainly has an influence on the psychology of gamblers who come with excessive expectations.

On the other hand, we must return to the initial understanding that gambling is always nothing more than just a probability activity that only provides opportunities in the sense that it is not a promising certainty. So if you do experience a situation of failing to win big then in my opinion you should not assume "I should be able to get it" because that will only make you more disappointed and curious, you must return to the understanding that this is a game of chance, and that means you are not really lucky.

To those who considers making profits a priority in gambling, I have come to observe that it is much more frustrating when you looses your game at when the game was almost over and you were on the safer side (winning) and just a few minute or seconds before the game is over it ended up at your lost.
I come to understand that it is more worrisome when the sure winning opportunities was so huge and got lost lately closed to the end time of the game.

When you have very high expectation and do not accommodate the possibility of your expectation being cut short, you will be very disappointed and may even get depressed when the outcome of your bet does not go your way. There are no sure bets because there is a always the possibility of chance to tilt things the other way. Every gambler should expect to loose as much as they expect to win whenever they gamble. If a gambler has this expectation, they will not be frustrated when they loose.

It's called gambling right?, so it sure happens to everyone once in a while, I am actually not a regular bettor, so, let me say that I have never really experienced this which you said, but then, I have friends who are hard core gamblers, sports bettors and so on, and almost on a regular basis, one of two persons do come around complaining of how he or she feels so so very bad, and when I ask why, its always about a bet that he or she was very very close to winning, but either the other team, or the VAR spoiled it for them by either canceling what could have being a winning goal for them, or crediting a goal that isn't supposed to be credited.

This is all part of gambling, it's never a smooth journey which ever way we try to look at it, so, when things like this happens, it's important we just ignore and move on, sitting, watching and crying over a spilled milk won't bring the milk back.

[EluguHcman]

I have experienced what you are narrating here and it is not a good feeling. There were times the last selection always cut my bets and I was thinking I was being monitored by the bookies. It can actually be frustrating.  

Exactly as that time of a moment when the game is running to an end and you have this 99.99% and just few seconds to a 100% assurance and the game gets cut off. Oh damn such is tormenting and I learnt about some persons whom had committed suicide over such circumstances.

It should really be let assured that no exciting moment of time in a game has a 100% assurance because such could lead a suicidal.

Expectations are what make them feel frustrated, because obviously everyone who gambles of course wants a big win, and this is in their expectations, those who gamble with the aim of winning certainly have high expectations, but it is the expectations themselves that kill them and make them addicted. gambling, where defeat is clearly more dominant than winning. and with their goal of pursuing victory, they cannot accept the losses that occur as a result they become frustrated with gambling.

Many gamblers put big hopes in gambling by hoping that big wins can happen, I understand how they feel, indeed everyone who gambles most likely wants to win because that's what they're looking for, it's just that if we put big hopes in gambling it will only make us become too obsessed with gambling which makes us addicted and it is difficult to get rid of it, and this is certainly not a good thing, especially with someone who is addicted to gambling, I think they are the ones who feel frustrated more often, because the losses they always get will make them they become frustrated with gambling, but I think this is good, someone who is addicted to gambling must be frustrated with gambling because then maybe they will leave their gambling addiction.

To those who considers making profits a priority in gambling, ()

Just simply don't invest your emotion when you are into this. Being emotional in gambling doesn't help at all, what you need to do is to deliver using your skills that are develop by your mind, not by emotional experiences throughout your journey as that is not being objective on what you do.

In terms of strategies, and on how to develop our skills in gammbling, we might be able to come up with one solution, but once emotions are the topic, it's hard to come up with a unified solution. That's the reality!

Lol 

You are telling the words of 90% of the gamblers out there because this would have happened with almost every gambler.
The feeling of huge frustration is what you get when you are just about to quit the gamble for the day on positive side but end up losing money in the last game.
But it is what it is. We might as well not play that last game at all. Call it greed or unsatisfactory results but we should know when to quit.

I think this is somehow obvious given that most people view gambling as a means of earning extra income or profit. Given that most gambling ads advertise the chances of winning huge amounts of money (e.g. jackpot prizes, cars, etc.), no wonder that most people feel frustrated after losing due to this hope that they failed to achieve.

While this may be true, I do think that this happens also to people who gamble rarely. They just want to attempt and try their luck, checking if they can potentially beat the significantly low odds of winning the jackpot.

With all things considered, gambling in general is frustrating. It plays with all your emotions and it also lets you feel things that you have not felt before due to what is stake on the prize.

[taufik123]

That would be a moment that would be painful and indeed stressful.
But before gambling should be aware of the amount of bets allocated and should know that 50% will lose, 50% will get profit.
If a big bet is made in one bet, that's what will happen, when the win is almost here, but towards the end of the game time the supported team loses and loses all bets.

The mistake is in the money management system, you should not use all the money to bet.
Dividing the allocation of money for gambling it would be very good if these kinds of things happened, so that everything is not exhausted in one bet.

It can also be by splitting bets on several games, but not all the whole money, which must definitely have a reserve of money to start over and try to turn things around by betting on other games.

This correct since most of the gambler is already drain on the game while it’s too tiresome to play again just not to close in lose especially if the gambler already spend a lot of time on gambling just to get that profit.

I usually feel this kind of sense of tiredness when I suddenly encounter long lose streak when I’m about to leave the game in profit. Usually I’m all-in bet to end the game quickly regardless of the result since I’m only playing money that I can afford to lose which means no string attached if ever I lose because I already enjoy the game.

[Findingnemo]

Irrespective of the bet amount, the moment will be filled with disappointment, and its kind of normal too but if you regret losing the bet then you have made err in the basic element of gambling, never bet money that you can't afford to lose.

We can't change what happens and we can't predict what will happen which means you can't do anything at all other than sleep on it.

[MainIbem]

When you have games like that maybe you might be sure of your winning what I does most times is to split the bet or replay the entire bet, if you are monitoring the bet and is closed to finishing you might decide to Cash out and allowed the second to play till ending. Now if the game happens to cut at later end you have succeeded cashing out something good, and if the game plays till end then you still have profits at last, but it's mostly frustrating when one monitors a game till ending parts it happens that just a single match cut one off from the total winning resulting to lose all match.

Sometimes this situation can cause insanity. especially when you are about to win almost $30000. I remember. some years back, my friend played a game of which if it wins he would be able to win about $30000 the game was almost over with the assurance of becoming millionaire, not until dying minutes the game cut. This guy started behaving strange he couldn't eat no drink or even bath. He no longer tale care of him self as usual because of the trauma. He has already concluded that he is rich not until he knew the difference between fantasy and reality.

[Blitzboy]

I understand the pain of losing a bet, especially when victory looked assured. As one gets closer to winning, expectations rise, amplifying disappointment. The emotional highs and lows make the gamble fascinating and dangerous.

Though, no such thing as a "sure win" exists. Gambling requires the realization that losses are inevitable, no matter how promising. Manage expectations and reduce emotional suffering using this attitude.

Dont neglect responsible gambling. Gamble with money you can lose and know when to stop. This saves funds and helps avoid mental pain from unexpected losses. Gambling should be fun, not profitable.

that is true, a sure win is when the game is over and you got your winnings on hand. otherwise, the chance of losing your bet is always there. this is why don't ever celebrate early because you can still be on the losing end even if the odds are in favour with your bet. maybe it is only on your mind that you feel you are very assured with your bet winning.

do remember, there are so many factors in play in every game, in which you have no idea of. just think of unknown injuries of the athletes involved, or the capability of the new coach, or influence of weather. so there are so much to consider before you can totally say, you are about to win big time!

This is very common among sport gamblers and I have experienced it many times like other individuals would have experienced it too but there's a strategy that you can use to avoid this problem. If you notice that the game isn't looking very strong to go in favour of your prediction you can cashout before the game ends. Most sportsbook have the option to cashout without your games ending, the prize are smaller than what you would have won but it's better than losing everything.

If you believe your game will win you don't have to use that option but continue waiting until the games ends. Sometimes it's out of fear of not winning that our minds starts telling us that we'll lose the game but if we have believe that we picked the game correctly and don't end the game prematurely, we'll make big profits that can change our lifes.

[Hirose UK]

Everyone knows that making profit from gambling is wrong and of course trying to make some money from gambling is goal that should not be pursued.
It is clear that those who are trying to make money will always feel quite deep sadness if there is loss that costs quite lot of money, especially when game or bet is almost completed but fails, the frustration and disappointment are much deeper.
Many gamblers state that they have experienced several mental and financial problems due to mistakes in having goals in gambling and we must all be able to learn from every problem that has occurred.
Moreover, of the many gamblers there will only be few who are able to accept every loss and from here we can find the real answer regarding this context, surely the answer will be the same as what I have said above.

Lolz, 😂
I've actually had this particular experience before and trust me, it's one of the most annoying thing in gambling, or sports betting rather, I've had a multi-bet of 8 solid games, a game my mentor researched so well and we were very confident, like over confident that we will win it, I staked almost every thing I had on that game, and same goes my mentor.

All the games played in our favor except the last one, at a particular point, I was going to actually cash out since I already made a good profit from that bet, but on a second thought, I decided to leave it since it was just one game remaining, as I thought that if the other seven played on our favor, why won't the last one as well do the same.

And all were going well, Infact, it was just about 3 or 4 minutes remaining for the game to come to an end and we will win our multi bet, the other team scored, and that was it, the end, that was how we lost the bet.
I actually cried to be honest, i just thought about everything and how much I could have won, I didnt know when I burst into tears 😭, this was a long time ago though, I've long forgetton about this.

It really sucks actually on having that kind of situation on which it does really give out that worst feeling on which you are almost there but ended up still on a loss on which it could really possibly make yourself that seeing punching up the wall due to such frustration. hehe. I have already experienced up such game or bet on the time that you do see that it is already that a sure win.
I do remember when it was on an NBA game on which the score is about having that 20+ points gap and having that 10 minutes time left on which i do already make out some
conclusion that it is already over. There's no way that it would be able to caught up which those are the words that i do have in mind and ended up on a loss due to some comeback. lol
