Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you?

[Docnaster]

I believe that some bettors may have wished to monitor the total amount of bets made in a game in order to assess if it was worth it for them to participate. Yes, it makes sense that individuals would think that way since certain gamblers may be more likely to participate in the action if there is a lot of betting activity and large stakes being risked, believing that there is a chance for a large reward. On the other hand, I believe that some gamblers may become less interested in playing if there is minimal betting activity or little money wagered, believing that the game does not offer enough potential rewards.

What you said here is actually very true. Many bettors have allowed the result of other people's bets to determine how they engage themselves in their own bets and that I think is an attribute of someone who doesn't have a mind of his own when it comes to gambling. I can't go about monitoring other people's games just to know when and not when to gamble because sometimes they are wrong with their own predictions and some other time they're also good in their predictions.


 

However, I would much prefer to decide for myself and go cautiously. But there was also a part of me that wanted to do what others did, that is, imitate their betting strategies, but doing so makes me feel reliant on them to the point that I need someone else to decide how much to bet.

Deciding for myself on how and when to play my own bet have been ahd will always be my own way of betting because trying to pay attention to other people's bets and the amount the use in betting and allow them to determine how I play my own bet have never been my style of betting. I Just go ahead and predict my games by myself and also stake on them. If I lose I blame myself and try again and if I win, I celebrate myself and abd also learn from it and become more strategic

Thats why when we see others hitting it big with big bets, there's this natural urge to join the club, right? It's like you want to be part of the winning crew. But we should remember that everyone's luck in gambling is kind of their own thing. It's cool to enjoy the gam but don't let the pressure of big bets mess with your comfort or budget. Just do your thing and have fun without stressing about keeping up with others.

Very short, simple and the plain truth, most people's problems start the very moment they start to look at other people and want to become like them.
It is also same thing in our gambling journey, some gamblers problem starts when they begin to look at how much other gamblers are betting and winning, the desire to feel among lead some of us into carrying out bet we can't bear or afford to lose.

Had this particular experience my self in the year 2022, during the 2022 world cup tournament in Qatar, some guys are had acquaintances with were staking really high on games and winning good money, I wanted to feel among by proving to them I could stake high and win high too, I lost my $3000 dollars on my first attempt, even though I bet on a game I was very sure I was going to win, it some how did not play in my favor and I lost my hard earned money, I learn a very bitter lesson from that experience, and that is not to do because I see others doing, most especially when it concerns gambling.

Indirectly, we will be influenced and want to do it too, especially when we see people placing high bets and winning, this is very natural to be affected because we see the amount of their winnings, but it is different when we see them lose when betting with a high bet, in our hearts Our little one would laugh at how stupid he was to spend so much money in gambling

Excellent point, do you a.d don't get pressured about that which others are doing because I'm the end if they lose you lose lesser then they do, they only time it sounds different is when they win and you don't, you shouldn't see their big stakes as intimidating, if they win and you staked the same game, yo all are even on the win except for the difference in stake.

You shouldn't be expecting some one who risked more to profit the same with you, some of these persons are at the stage where they can afford to loose such amount and yet they are still good so it will be injustices to yourself if you wear such shoe at the expenses of your finances such that you have to go broke after such stake a d if you are not lucky you have to start all over again because you have lost all that you have gat but in a situation where you can afford such risk comfortably then it's fine but conclusively do not stake as much as others are staking when you know you can afford to loose such amount, don't be influenced by other people's stake.

If you are influenced by other people's bets bigger than yours, you may be triggered to try placing big bets like they do. If you lose, you will immediately lose a lot of money, impacting your finances. We should avoid placing big bets like them because we don't have as much money as they do. We can't follow what other people do because we have different responsibilities, so we better stay responsible for ourselves and only place bets according to how much money we can afford. Don't place excessive bets if we can't bear to see the losses we will receive.

But what if I also have a lot of money? What if I am a millionaire, but keep on placing dollar bets all the time? Shouldnt by watching others bets, people should at least have an idea to start behaving like them? Btw, have you ever heard such proverb as "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" ? Btw how can we learn or do correct if not by watching others? Imagine you are new to gambling, you play low bank, but have enough for more brave bets. You see others bet more than you. What would you do?

Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

its a normal feeling to push yourself a bit harder in whatever you're doing when you see others that are into the same thing with you being more profitable than yourself but you have to be matured with how you go about comparing yourself with them.

Their is no guarantee that if you stake more that you will have better result so the best thing you can do for yourself as a responsible gamer is to plan your gambling routine and the maximum minimum amount you can work with on a daily bases regardless of the turnover of the game.

You should also understand your financial strength with relation to that of the person you are comparing yourself with so you wouldn't try to use your average income to make a comparison with someone that is already established in a business or firm and that can withstand certain loss.

I used to be moved by a friend who is into gambling, whenever she won some money I always feel left out but due to the warnings from my father about gambling I dare not give a try at the time, and later she keep some distance, only to find out that she lost almost everything in gambling that was why she was avoiding me.

I helped her in some categories and after I told her everything my father told me, we are still good friends till today and she already quit gambling, later after I started making some money I start my own gambling activities but when I told her she doesn't seem to be interested or moved about it.

There is no point in paying attention to gamblers around you, most of them always become a victim to their own desire and greed through gambling, it's better to avoid them and take your responsible gambling very serious, watching others can fuel up your desire for gambling and it can lead you into making wrong decisions.

Bad influence on you by friends is as old as time, I am sure that there were some cavemen who were bad influence on other cavemen as well back in the day. So, it is not really a shocker that you would have a friend like that, we should not be shocked about it, we should accept that as normal and not really focus on it too much. I get it, it's normal and we all got that friend who did something that was bad. Mine was smoking, it wasn't gambling, I got into gambling all myself without looking at anyone or seeing anyone or getting influenced even by online people, it was all my own decision.

But mine was smoking, a friend of mine smoked, and he smoked near me all the time when I was a teenager, and slowly, I started to get one from him, now at my age, I am a smoker who smokes all the time, it all started with him. We have those kind of friends.

I think that is what one would call indirect peer pressure and it would be better if any gambler avoid to be affected by it as much as possible, because of all the obvious reasons many have already pointed out here in this thread. Funnily enough, there is a group of gamblers which are very aware of the peer pressure they could be subjected to: poker players.
It is a very common thing for a experimented poker player to try to deceive others on the table about how good their hand is compared to others, so they increase to wager significantly to or not much to influence on the wager of the foes. In that case one either increases the wager as well or lose the round.
It is a similar mechanism with crash, though gamblers are not competing against each other whatsoever, just against the house.
Though, it is not a coincidence the casino allows players to see the wager or the rest of their fellows playing at the same time, so they will also feel influenced by the indirect peer pressure to increase their wager even further and further.

It is indeed a natural thing, when someone does the same thing but has a difference in profit, and someone who sees other people get a big profit of course it can affect them, because it is a natural thing especially things related to profit of course everyone wants a big profit. But what must be remembered is that luck is different, so even if they follow others by placing large bets too, it does not guarantee that they will get a profitable victory.

It is true that you said that the best for yourself is to be a responsible player, this needs to be considered, because many gamblers are not responsible for what they do which leads them to huge losses. And indeed we also have to look at our financial strength, if it is not able to place a bigger bet it is better not to be rash, because luck can be on anyone's side, and does not look at the amount of bets, so even though we bet with a small amount if we are lucky, we will definitely get a profitable win. Although it can affect but it is better to introspect yourself first, so that nothing happens that is not wanted.

I've done this before and it was really bad.
Why? Because we see a lot of people winning, generally we can only watch or only want to watch the success stories. Of the 1000 people who are playing, we can only see those 10 who are winning, or we purposely ignore the other 9990 who are losing because they are far from our focus of interest.

What is the result of this? When we try to replicate the bets of those winning people, we see that we are hardly part of the 10 successful players we were analyzing, in fact we only increase the amount of the 9990 who usually lose by making the same type of bet.

My advice... observe others, that's good, but also observe the bets of those who lose... also learn from other people's mistakes, not just from victories and after all this, place YOUR BETS based on what you can bet and what you are willing to lose.

That will be up to you because, once again, you are responsible for your money and understand that betting millions of dollars carries the risk of losing in gambling. If you accept the risk, you can continue placing bets, but if not, you will not want to place bets with a lot of money. Yes, you are right that by watching other people bet, someone can have an idea to follow what that person does. But everything must be adjusted to the funds we have and our readiness to accept whatever results we will get after finishing gambling. If I have a lot of money and have watched videos of other people betting with a lot of money, I will only place bets with a little money because it will put me at risk of losing a lot. I prefer to place bets with small money because that is the amount of money I can afford.

There is nothing wrong with us suggesting something best in general about what gamblers should do when they are in a certain situation, we have suggested the best and the rest is up to them whether they will follow the advice that is really the best or not, because yes of course as you said that gambling is about someone's readiness to take risks, Simply put if you  are not ready to lose the amount of money they allocate with a note based on the feeling of wanting to follow the amount of bets made by others then don't do it, unless you have a lot of money or meaning you are ready for all possible risks then obviously it's all up to you, because after all you yourself will feel the impact.

Being a responsible gambler is something that is more advisable for every gambler, I understand that there are many temptations in gambling and one of them is very likely for gamblers to follow what others are doing such as gambling with a larger budget for a much bigger win, and if you follow it but on the other hand cannot afford to bear all the risks then  I think the problem here is "awareness", anyone can indeed be affected when in such a situation but not all gamblers are affected if they are able to maintain their awareness of the dangers of risk....

It is indeed a natural thing, when someone does the same thing but has a difference in profit, and someone who sees other people get a big profit of course it can affect them, because it is a natural thing especially things related to profit of course everyone wants a big profit. But what must be remembered is that luck is different, so even if they follow others by placing large bets too, it does not guarantee that they will get a profitable victory.

Although it can affect but it is better to introspect yourself first, so that nothing happens that is not wanted.

You are correct in aspect of betting higher in a different game,,, that's true that one can not get the same profits as the other might have gotten but I can hopefully say that if the both person's are betting on the same games and the same amount they will definitely win the same amount of money.. but when they don't bett on the same games and buy staked the same amount, when the both both gamblers won, the only things that can make their money to be different amounts will be the cause of the odd, why because the others might be picking bigger odds while the next person will be picking smaller odds.

I really agree with you because by increasing our bet we will not necessarily have the same luck as the people who win because in fact in gambling there are many people who experience losses and only a few people are truly lucky and win. Gambling is an uncertain game and winnings are random casinos cannot determine who will win, but if we try something that carries risks, we also have to think about the percentage of losses.

And it's true that we have to be able to learn from other people who make mistakes and we also have to see how many people lose in gambling so that it makes us realize that winning in gambling is very difficult to achieve, we can see these people in making their bets and learn the strategies they play, but never try to bet big, stick with money you can afford to lose.

Thanks for the comment. I really searched for something like that. I just watch, gather statistics, enjoy my game. Probably marvel their result. I feel sometimes envy when they win big, but when I see they lose big, it is sobering me. Maybe that is why balance is still not zero.

I would say, that I have tried copying others gambling strategies, and it never worked well for me (to those who still think I watch others to try to find a key to always winning).

Just do your thing and have fun without stressing about keeping up with others.

When we consider the adage that says "seeing is believing" then we would have a firm understanding of why winnings from people can trigger others to participate in gambling. There are a lot of people who don't believe that people are making it from gambling because stories about how people ruin their lives or commit suicide abound everywhere in the social space. But then, it takes a big win from a friend or someone they know to change such thoughts and begin gambling.

This shouldn't generate surprises because humans generally desire good things and whatever guarantees a good living humans will always give it a try. But then, gambling cannot guarantee anyone a good living because it is characterized by luck. Only luck can guarantee a gambler win. I have heard a story of a boy who won big from gambling on his first attempt and that changed his life. On the other hand, some people have gambled for years without a good measurable success.

Thus, I will advocate that people shouldn't gamble because someone else won big from the game. After all, as we are built differently and reason differently our grace differs. Hence, if we must gamble it should be for the fun of it and not because people are becoming rich from it. That might not be our case.

In the end, in what I have experienced in a case like this, because I have also done it, maybe I think everyone has done this kind of thing by looking at other people's bets and trying it. in the end I sighed and thought that everyone has a difference in terms of profit, the logic in luck inherent in the side of every human being cannot have the same fate or the same end, it must have a difference or even the opposite.

In the end, I also rely more on myself in any gambling decision, both in quantity and strategy or whatever it is, yes, although sometimes I still pay attention to how other people gamble but I prefer to be in my own hands, it is much better than imitating other people's gambling which in fact will not find similarities in our gambling if applied.

In terms of ambition, I felt it and even wanted to place a bigger bet at that very moment. However, because of the nature of ambition, sometimes I only feel it at a glance and then I realize that I have to bet an amount that I am really prepared to lose. In the Crash game, it seems easy to bet large amounts, you just need to apply cashOut automatically. 1x or 2x is enough if with $1K. But at the same time, after we achieved 1x with automatic cashOut, the rocket increased even more until it reached 20-50 and made us ambitious to increase the cashOut limit. A wrong decision because what we have gained from winning 1x and 2x will be in vain.

Lets just make ourselves to be realistic all the time and not to be having those delusions on which you are really that making yourself that be desperate because you are really that
trying to mimic those players who do have deep pockets on which we know that there's always that inequality into this world on where you would really be able to make yourself cant be able to do such
things on what others can do. Stick into your own thing and bet according into your financial capacity. Dont make yourself that being wishful or really likes on making some reflections others people bets
or amounts. Always set up limits and always having that control and moderation on which we know that gambling isnt something that you could really be able to handle it out
once addiction would really be kicking in.
