While placing bet what comes your mind

[aioc]

Yesterday was trying to place bet and during the process something in me keeps telling me to increase your wager do you know if you would hit something you never won before.. I was like is this how other people are being controlled by gambling or is it how it works? I said, no wonder some people gamble and finishes their allocation for the week or month. This can even lead someone to also go borrow if this feeling is not killed and stop, you can also see that this attributes in gambling addiction.

However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos?

I feel the same way as you do many times I wish that I will finally hit the jackpot so I keep adding up if you have no self-control you will eventually lose your bankroll in the shortest possible time and you will end up chasing your losses and adding more money to keep you playing, you must have control on your bankroll it's a sure sign of addiction if you have poor management of bankroll.
I remember my one week allocated for bankroll only lasted 3 days and I had to take some of my savings to add to my bankroll for my next session, It is easy to fund your account online which is why online is where I lose my bankroll faster and easily.

sometimes a gambler's enemy is his own mind, which often provides deceptive voices that make gamblers make wrong decisions, such as increasing bets, continuing to play, and so on. that's why it's important for gamblers to be able to control themselves to be able to play based on the strategy they determine, not by following their own thoughts because that will sometimes lead gamblers down the wrong path.

though it is quite difficult to fight these deceptive voices, if gamblers are used to being disciplined and have been trained to fight against their own thoughts, this should not be a problem for gamblers.

We all have adventurous thoughts in us that tells us to go beyond our risk limits to achieve greater results, although this thoughts can help us to achieve greatness, but it's not in every aspect. Gambling requires discipline and budget and if a gambler sticks to these methods he'll not be distracted by that inner adventurous voice inside, instead he'll stick to the plan and gamble the percentage that is budgeted for the bet. So the key factor for gambling should be to gamble responsibly and to achieve this is to have a budget for it and be disciplined not to exceed it.

I have something else in mind after a series of losses I made just last Saturday. I couldn't say if it's adventurous but sillier because I'm thinking of betting on the opposite instead of the initial choice. I thought all my bets seemed wrong so I'll just ignore the first choice that comes to my mind and pick the other for I may win this time. This is just in the mini-game I play from dice and lottery.

Any thought can come on anyone's mind when they place bets. But one thought we all have in common is the desire to win and make money from all our games. These desire most often influence the decision and choices we make while betting. While many might have the urge to stake higher amount to get higher returns, many others just like you will try to be extra careful with our predictions so we do not lose. As we all know,  this is gambling and it is a game of luck. There is no 100% certainty that your predictions will be accurate, you just have to accept whatever the outcome of your bet brings.

The most important thing boils down to how we control all these desires/urges. We wouldn't be talking about discipline and self control if extreme gambling measures do not have negative effects on us. A gambler that can control himself while gambling does not have any problem at all.

Yes, I've had that feeling, but I don't know where it comes from. I felt like a voice or whatever told me to place a higher bet than usual. But that doesn't guarantee that I can win because I still lost in some games, even though I won too. It may be greed that tells us to place bigger bets than usual so that if we are tempted, we will immediately increase the bet. But even though there are feelings like that, it also doesn't guarantee that we can win because we don't know whether those feelings tell the truth and lead us to win or are just whispers that lead us to experience loss. We should stick to our usual bets and only bet with money we can afford so that we don't regret anything that happens.

When I initiate my gambling session, what comes to my mind is each step of the plan I already had in mind before I started playing. So I execute the plan, and scheduled. If I win, my mind tells me to stop, because I have already reached the profit I was dreaming about when I planned my gambling game. However, if I lose, then it's a little more tricky, because there is an inner conflict inside my mind, like those small angel and devil on each side of your ears, telling you to stop and the other telling you to continue, respectively.

I confess it's not so easy to stop when this happens, because you never want to swallow a defeat to the casino. So what comes to my mind are new possible strategies and plans to continue playing and recovering the loss money. Since this kind of thought is nothing new to me, I already have some experience calming emotions down and taking control of my mind, hearing the advices of the small angel, instead of the devil one. If the same happens to you, don't desperate yourself. Remain conscious to make a rational decision. Don't let your mind take control of you and you should be fine.

That happens to me when I become greedy, which I get a lot of the time, and it's what usually kills most of the profits I get instead of simply chilling throughout the day. Once you have those quick and easy wins, it could give you a boost of confidence to go for something aggressive like doubling up, and most of the time, it backfires to put you back to reality. It's okay to play the way you want as long as you can deal with the aftermath, and that's where most gamblers struggle, as these scenarios will continue to occur in most of your sessions.

It comes from greed. Actually, that voice and feeling is the greed itself pushing you to gamble further, since you have already pictured the potential winnings and the things you could do with all that money. That is the feeling most of casinos try to rely on to tempt people to continue to gamble further in the long term, increasing their profits.
I would say that for us to be responsible gamblers and not to take steps in the casinos which could lead us to regrets, it would be ideal not to only think of the potential winnings of our bets, but also consider the posible losses which could come with that increased wager we start to consider when putting our bet on the table.
It is not all shinny and promising in your eyes when we take a second to realize we are allowing greed to take over and makes us assume we have a guaranteed win in the next match. All of it is an illusion, a falsehood, highly religious people would even say it is some kind of evil entity whispering in our ears.

Anyways. It is better to identify those feelings exist and try to control them instead of ignoring them and not acknowledge them.

This is common for all gamblers or anyone taking any risk at any point. There is a usual urge to do more, especially if it's more rewarding to you. Although these thoughts are good for everyone, they're equally motivating if it's another aspect of liFe, not gambling, but when it comes to gambling, it's more about self-control or emotional control because if you fail to observe this control, you will surely go into wasting your funds out of greed to profit more.

Maybe it seems awkward because it's your first time to observe this urge to gamble, but for most of us here, we have been experiencing it, and that's why we have come up with the option of having a set limit for ourselves in order not to waste resources or capital.

There are 2 factors why someone wants to achieve the expected high winnings even though they are not ready to lose betting funds because their gambling scenario is controlled by greed. Firstly, as you mentioned, the previous high win has increased your confidence to increase the bet and you speculate that you will get the same win on the next bet. Second, every gambler will not stop gambling before the winning target can be achieved, say there are 3 high winning levels in gambling, so every gambler definitely wants to reach level 2 of the gambling winning level because level 1 including jackpot wins is difficult to get in every bet.

If you can handle both 2 factors it will be easy to control emotions in gambling, never target high profits but it is better to "take profit" on every win and you will have capital for gambling the next day.

Are you just starting to gamble, because I think if you are pro then I believe this particular feeling won't be new to you anymore because this is a common feeling among gamblers but for those who tend to gamble with no control because the moment you start thinking to add more staking power to your bet then be sure that's when things can start flipping because sometimes you would go beyond your boundaries and do all type of things you didn't intend to .

[Marykeller]

Several thoughts do come to my mind on gambling but due to the way I have programmed myself to gamble to bet less, I try as much to subdue the urge to bet more whenever it comes for me to bet more in aspects to win more.
I can't begin to bet more when I have programmed myself on a particular amount I am going to bet in a gambling house. Betting more just because I have the urge doesn't make me a gambler who wants to only have fun in gambling, but also has the intention of making wealth from gambling. That attitude alone makes me a liar to myself. Not telling myself the truth

[Slow death]

I had these types of things when I started gambling, I remember that at that time I would make a bet and then I would start to think that I should have put more money on that bet, so I would look at the bet and cancel it, of course I lost money when I canceled a bet, but I made the same bet again, putting in more money and losing. When I lost, I started feeling very guilty about the loss, I started thinking that I shouldn't have made that bet. In other words, I was very sorry about my choice. but it was unbelievable that when I made another bet, I made the same mistake and then started to feel very guilty again. There were times when the game I bet on was a game that made me very confident

I was very confident that I would win that game, for that reason I went back to betting on the same game but with more money, but at the end of the game I lost my bet again, that cycle lasted a few weeks and eventually left me very sad to the point that I I decided that the time had come to stop playing and I stopped playing. It's funny that when after years I started playing again, I remember that in the first few days I made the same mistake as I did in the past. but this time to correct myself, I chose to stop placing bets without first having a solid plan, I decided to start learning more about bankroll management and how to better analyze each game and its markets, I started learning about the most common mistakes that people make. should avoid, and thanks to that I no longer made the same mistakes as in the past

[silpersurfer]

Honestly, I can't expect too much from the gambling I do and the amount of bets I place. Because gambling cannot be expected. Moreover, at the time of gambling and placing a bet, I got more losses than wins. I have tried as much as possible to play calmly and make decisions that are quite appropriate and wise. Maybe I'm not too lucky in gambling. But even so, it is extremely difficult to escape from the world of gambling. Especially if we have put gambling as part of our pleasure.

[darkangel11]

It's completely normal that you felt like this, OP. You're simply overthinking the bet, going "what if" for too long. We all did that and it happens not only in gambling but also in investing, even withdrawing from a bank, selling or buying things. Should I buy this car, or go for a cheaper one? Should I buy this house or go big and spend all my money on that bigger and better one? Some of you say it's "deceptive thoughts" but it's not. It's normal analytical thing our brain does. We're programed to do this.

This happens to those that only think of how much they will win without considering that gambling is a 50-50 chance of winning and losing, So if you allow greediness to overrule you when gambling, then this is when you start to feel this way and try to increase your stakes, and secondly, if you are someone that don't have self-discipline, and a budget when engaging in gambling, that is how much you want to risk or stated amount to be used on a particular game you will always be tempted to increase your stakes.

I bet whatever comes to mind when I run out of strategies and I do it that way because I like to give luck and a different game a chance, all the time I play with an order with some steps, with a routine, I feel that the casino knows how I play and I can't win that way, so sometimes I make unplanned plays and plays that don't seem logical to see if I'm lucky, I think everyone has applied that strategy to see how it can change the game, this is a way to mislead the system, that's how I see it.

But when I'm playing my mind stays very focused on what I'm looking for, trying not to make mistakes, and always visualizing that I can win, that's my goal, to be able to win and be able to do something so that I can make a difference, I don't do anything else. Another thing, for me it is important to win and earn some money, to see if I can do something profitable one day in the casino, I always stick with having fun and with few profits.

That's why it's important to control yourself when gambling and manage your mindset correctly, every gambler feels the same thing and often feels like pressure inside of us trying to force ourselves to play beyond the limits of our abilities, that's why it's important for us to limit each gambling budget and be consistent so that Don't exceed your budget limit when gambling, every thought and feeling about increasing your bets should be avoided so you don't get addicted to gambling.

I know it wasn't easy to handle with this kind of feelings when it comes of placing bet because you could be tempted to increase your bet above your monthly gambling budget, sometimes I felt is greed that causes most of the things while trying to increase bet is always a result of Greed so anyone who can control this feelings can as well maintained a healthy gambling practice than becoming irresponsible gambler.

Every gambler at all curse would want to win something big while gambling, this mindset doesn't have to leave you sometimes after you might placed bet below what you wanted immediately you will regret to say how I wished I could have increased the bet above your limits and this often happens when you don't have additional funds in your bet account to place another bet, if is offline this would lead you to go borrow money from a close friend within the gambling environment.

That's your conscience telling you to gamble more and you'd feel regretful if you don't bet that much, correct? It's a normal thing and it is yourself that have it on your mind and probably before you're already like that. There is a serious matter that you have to control for yourself because if you're not going to do some solutions on it, you'd listen and obey the whisper of your conscience.

However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos?

Yes but that was before. But right now, I was able to control myself and if there will be that type of whisper that wants to me think that I should win and I should bet more, I ignore it.

[Raflesia]

That's gambling friends, the more we get carried away with a game, the more obsessed we will become and want to continue playing with the amount of bets that can certainly continue to increase every time we force to continue betting on the game.
It happens because we enjoy too much and make us complacent because of the gambling done because it is not wrong if almost most people say that gambling increases dopamine which makes us constantly feel the adrenaline in the body increases so that the obsession to increase the bet is getting bigger because we are increasingly challenged by it.
That should actually be avoided because however in a situation like this even though we are a gambler but we should not continue to force things like this because after all it is a condition that is not too good if it is done too often, therefore the importance of self-control so that such situations do not occur.

If thoughts like this keep coming your mind the be ever ready in giving it the reply that gambling is a win or loose game and will a be able to adapt ithe conditions if I loose bet, we do make winning not by how much we deposited to play bets but how skilful and knowledgeable we are in gambling with the luck attached.

I was like is this how other people are being controlled by gambling or is it how it works?

It isn't how it works, it just an iIlussion trying to instigate you for loss.

However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos?

Yes, but what comes straight to my mind anytime is can I be able to afford loosing as well, if I can't then I shouldn't risk it for nothing.
