Changing initial option and losing the bet

[Davidvictorson]

That can be a bad habit for a gambler—not sticking to the initial decision—because it may affect your bet or you could end up with a bad result.

Sports betting involves meticulous analysis and a wealth of knowledge about the club, the team and their opponents. Your confidence and certainty grows with these and you will have no fear that you have made the right bet if you do. There are exception to these though as we are humans and can sometimes make these bet decisions in a hurry, on emotions, and just hastily. In this scenario, changing your bets decision is fine. However, you must watch it that is is not guessing or based on abracadabra.

i agree on this point, because if there is a valid reason why you are changing your bet, then by all means, change it. because you won't change the bet if you think you are on the winning side. it is just that not all of our choices are right.
at some point, we are all guilty of this feeling because as we watch the game, something is telling us that our initial bets may not be the right ones, so we changed. so long it is your decision, it is all on you.

When I read your story OP, it made me feel like you don't know how to stick to your decisions.

Changing decision in gambling can be triggered by factors in the game not that i don't stick to my decision. At times odds do change and if you are into sports gambling at times key players on a team might get injured or I'll etc prior to the game these can lead to you changing your decision and there are other factors.

definitely, there are factors in play here why he is changing his decision at the middle of the game. as it is his decision, then no one is to blame about his losing bets. as he is aware of the results of this decision, might as well think of his reasonings why he did such act? because if it is more on impulse without thinking about it, then maybe he is just being too emotional with his choices and not thinking logically.

As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding  a game  to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.


These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.

Lol... that is what it means to go into a game like gambling. Gambling is a game of prediction and speculation, and that is one fear that you cannot run away from because it will keep haunting you to make another choice. But the best gamblers, I think, are those who believe in their instincts.

If you believe that this is what your instinct tells you, go by it and stand by it 100%. It may not be the right answer, but you have no reason to regret later if it turns out to be correct.

So, I think that one aspect of gambling that people cannot run away from, rather than money, is being able to manage your instincts. Are you able to believe in your instincts and stand by them at the particular point in time?

You are adding games to already selected games you have chosen for something that will not be significant to your bet, the highest number that bet can add to your bet will not be more than 2 odds and is it worth it for let's say a selection of 50 odds you have done? It's better to he contented sometimes and also not to listen to people in bets shops, they will only confuse you even more and when you lose, they will not even console you, some are there to even give you bad opinion about your games.

As for me, I don't do physical shops but I do have that habit of adding more options when I see some punters game on X but I have stopped that habit. I do feel because they win more than me, I feel it's okay to add there games to mine but I later realized that they lose more than I even imagine. I stay on my lane and stake on my idea, if I win I celebrate and if I lose, I improve on where I made mistakes.

This condition is one that often arises among bettors who are faced with the task of making decisions based on the probability of a certain outcome. This phenomenon is described as "post-bet regret," where an individual may feel reluctant or even wish to alter their decision once it has been made. Factors that may contribute to this kind of bias include uncertainty, doubt, or the impact of external forces like emotional impulses or social pressure. Altering betting options or introducing new games at the end of an initial analysis can interfere with the flow of thoughts and muddle previously intended decisions.

And an important quality to possess as a gambler is self-discipline and sticking to decisions made through careful analysis. Any changes made haphazardly or without good reason can only increase the probability of you losing your bet.

I have a rule that I have followed whenever and wherever I make a bet I do not cancel that bet, even when the team I placed a bet on is losing I still don't have thoughts of canceling my bet, but it wasn't always like that, It took me a long time to be strong and determined to place bets and not cancel. A long time ago I chose the games I analyzed and then I placed a bet, but as I didn't see the starting 11 I was left undecided whether I made the right choice or not. Then they announced the 11 initial players and I realized that the best players were not on the field playing, so my panic took over me and I canceled my bet, but in this process there was another big problem.

which was that, for example, when I bet 10$ and went to cashout, I only managed to get 4$ and that depended, when closer to the game or during the game I cashed out the value became less, the excess happened in the case of the team in which I bet was winning, so in this scenario the cashout was bigger. but by cashing out I was reducing my bankroll even though I wasn't losing, this started to make me wonder how I could solve this problem. until I started testing myself that when it was simple bets I would only bet when I saw the announcement of the 11 initial players, that way I no longer needed to make a cashout

When they were multibet bets, I just put in a very small amount of money and with that I didn't even need to make a cashout because even if I lost a bet it wouldn't affect me, and I've done it like this until today, when I put money in a bet, I don't cancel it, I don't I'm thinking about canceling the bet. There are times when I even forget that I placed a bet, I only remember it the next day, and this happens to me even though I follow the results of the games every day.

I also behave like that, when in planning and analysis I have obtained data and which ones I should bet on, but when executing I am often tempted by other things and add several more bets outside of the analysis and what I planned beforehand, as a result I often experience defeat 🤦‍

The temptation of bigger odds sometimes gives bad results, we hope to get a big jackpot but the result is the opposite, defeat and defeat is what we get.

I sometimes face the same issue. That's why I stick to my initial strategy to avoid losses. It's important to control yourself and avoid adding any games to your betting plan as soon as you arrive. Doing so will greatly alter your strategy and increase the risk of losing your money.

[bitbollo]

have you ever thought about the opposite, likewise "I didn't change that bet and I won"?
there are some events to which we give greater importance than others...
there is nothing "magical" about it, we simply pay more attention.
Think of all the times you won a bet without changing option

For sure all gamblers had been able to experience out this kind of scenario or moment on which you had already made out some good and in depth analysis and checking with the bets that you are tending to
make but ended up on having some additionals or with those last minute changes due to some intuition or voices out into our minds and have those gut feeling would really be telling that we must be
changing up those bets on point or having those kind of tweak.In the end then it did really result into loses on which it would really be leaving out that kind of extreme regret and you would really be having
that kind of learning basing up on what you have done. Thing here on OP that on the time that you do find out that it do generates tons of loses on your part. Then why would really be continuing on doing that?

In my case, if ever there's a particular strategy that it doesnt work then i do skip into other one.I would really be tending to find those methods on which
at least have some progress or something giving out some advantage or profit, no matter how small those differences are on which i could still consider it out
on instant switch up.

Before never having gone to a physical gambling center will still be the way you want almost the same I experienced in online casinos with the initial game plan just to play slots and sports betting but the thought changed, sports betting was put aside and chose other bets with increased again as a result to lose, I always think why the initial plan has changed like this.

It's because you're not satisfied maybe you try another game better but the fact remains that it doesn't change you lose money, but I again think that in gambling don't take it seriously because it's just enough for fun even though there is a little upset at the end.

The same thing happens when you are investing in assets too. You come up with the perfect plan, start following it but in the middle of the action, you suddenly come up with more ideas. That's good and bad at the same time because:

1- It means your original plan wasn't perfect (bad)
2- You are improving (good)

Sometimes though, your initial plan is actually good and you simply go stupid when you add new ideas. It happens to many students when they are taking an exam. She/he ticks the correct answer right away but when he thinks a bit more, he raises some suspicions and changes his answer... Then he picks the wrong answer...

I guess it is all about your current mind state. If the mind goes rusty, you can fuck up any situation you are in.

[SmartGold01]

It's simply greed why will you book games with the best options you thought will be better for you getting to casino hall or gambling shop you felts so discouraged to either changed the options and increased your selected matches. Meaning you weren't satisfied with the previous options you selected, so going further to touch will always results you losing them entirely therefore the next thing is to regret why you change those option. If i were you what I would do is to have them selected in two option on a separate bets; that is to say when you play the options you selected you could booked same game with different option which your instinct has been telling you on maybe if the first game doesn't play then the second game will pay out correctly.

[darkangel11]

You're a superstitious gambler, OP. You say that changing the bet made you lose, but you did not know the outcome of the game beforehand, so you acted on your gut and you were wrong. Try not changing anything and see how you do. I bet that you still won't be above your average win rate in a 100 games. If you win 40% of your bets now when you change your bets you may slightly improve if you stop, but you can also fall to 35% because it's not some hind of jinx to change the bet, it's just the way you explain the situation to yourself.

Then don't do it anymore if it's costing you a lot.

It's normal to change your bets, options or even the amounts for placing our bets. But if that doesn't work for you and if you think that you've got some ritual things to do, you better don't change often.

Only gamble when you're set with your mind and the amount that you won't regret to lose. That's the key there for us to gamble without any regret and without having a bad feeling.

Because if you do so, you'll have a problem in the long run as you gamble and that can even give you some fearsome memories.

This is always my ordeal and I have said countless times that I will not alter my bet but I am still doing that to date. This has accounted for 60% of my loss so far. Recently, I predicted games, booked the games, and then took a screenshot of the game to play the game later. When it was time to play the game, I altered the games because all the games became a threat to me and I selected options that seemed safer and then lost the game only to regret it later.

[bitvalak]

You didn't explain what caused you to change your options when you arrived at the gambling table. If the decision is just a feeling factor, it means you are not sure enough about the analysis you made previously. And that's normal for some people. I assume you changed your mind when there were a lot of distractions at the land-based gambling place. It might be a different story if you use an online platform, it can minimize distractions that could result in you not being confident in your decision at the start.

There's inarguably a huge impact from the described case -- so huge that it'd determine your failures at about 69% of the times you wager bruh!! Why would anyone behave that way?  What's so special about including games without proper analysis? - maybe cus you saw it somewhere?? Why don't you wager separately as a single odd.. isn't that even more safe?

If you have a certain target then don't change it for me sticking to the task in hand always works, for sure if you have many thoughts in mind that sometimes destroy your focus and change the mood, this will initially instead of winning a certain area in gambling will sometimes can end up in not winning, because constantly changing a task at hand can change the outcome of the game, instead of focusing on one task you will do some multi-tasking eventually this could not help in some ways as the focus will be split into two.

As a general piece of advice, it's crucial to stick to a predetermined strategy and avoid making last-minute changes based on emotions or fleeting instincts. The thorough analysis and statistics you mentioned should serve as a foundation for your decision-making, helping to minimize impulsive actions, and for sure self-control is needed in this kind of situation you will never really know when you could win but for sure sticking to one or less is good enough.

It's not uncommon for individuals to encounter similar challenges in the realm of gambling. Learning from past experiences and developing a disciplined approach may contribute to a more successful and enjoyable gambling experience in the long run.

Happened to me tonight. Picked Udinese to go, put 10000 XFUN, and changed my mind in the last minute, out of fear there was no chance they'd pull something like that off, especially since Juventus really needs to win to stay in contention for the title. Unfortunately, guess I was right the first time lol, and fuckers managed to lose. Second guessing yourself is never good, and when you decide something, usually it was the right way to go from the very start
