Have you had this gambling experience?

[Moreno233]

I don't know if other gamblers have gotten this experience maybe ones or more throughout their time as gamblers. Cause I have had this experience a few times though I can't actually pinpoint the numbers.

There have been times I just out of no serious interest or enthusiasm just decide to try a few predictions on football games and due to the lack of interest in the games just decides to stake with a very low amount and boom, the games played, and you just realized the money won is nothing to be glad about.

But on certain day's i take the game seriously and put my mind into it and as a result had to stake in a good tangible amount of money to have the potential money to be won big but the games don't usual play despite all of the seriousness and analysis exerted into putting up the games.

This weekend I had that awkward experience again and the funny aspect is that it doesn't in anyway come to mind to remember to increase the stake seeing how reluctant I was feeling when booking the games just like other random times

Does anyone also has it this way at one time or the other with their predictions.

IF you are a gambler and you have not had this experience, then something is still missing. The statement "I wish I played it big money" actually come from this experience. Reading through the discussion, it is obvious this is an experience that is common among all gamblers. For game that is mainly dependent on luck, I don't know how much this experience occur there but for football and basketball, it happens often and very real. Maybe it is because these gambling events have the ability of going against what is generally expected. For example, there are times small teams will beat a big team in football and this will make many people lose. Sometimes some people will play against the big teams and end up winning and will now realized they played it with small amount of money.

Aren't you going on betting with the wrong approach???

First, you should know that taking a bet after making a complete analysis still does not guarantee that you will win. So when the winner is not sure, we should not put a big amount of money in any bet. That is what I have learnt over time and I do tell this to everyone whom I know is involved in sports betting.

If you blindly bet on any game, it is just a matter of luck, you may win or lose based upon only luck. When you bet using your analysis, still luck plays a factor but you have more probability of winning but still, we should have some rules in gambling. For example. one must not bet beyond a certain amount in a single bet, no matter how much confidence he is on the outcome of the match.

If gambling was to be a profession for me by now I would be stare at as a veteran in the business by those just in coming  but unfortunately I don't take it to that length as I don't gamble regularly, as in, I don't do it on daily basis, and when I said I increase my stakes in those games I put so much seriousness and attention in predicting I don't mean I am staking with what I can't afford to lose out of overconfidence, I know better not to exceed my risk management staking limit not matter the source of the games. So mate we're on same page concerning responsible gambling.

Gambling is much of luck with partly an attachment of skill involved in propelling that long of yours with some advantage compared to someone with no skill knowledge about the sport basically relying only on luck. Importantly, no matter the mental efforts we direct in in predicting a game with all analysis put together, it's still advisable for us to never bet with an amount we can't afford to risk losing as we're not in control of the outcomes. 

[danherbias07]

Most of the time this happens to me.

It doesn't always go as we predicted it even if we do deep analysis on certain games or sports that we know a lot about. We have some lucky moments where we predicted something we know nothing about could win. It's just luck or maybe we just compiled the favorites that were listed by the sports bookies and somehow it also ended up as they predicted it, all favorites winning their respective games.

But, I would not mind doing the analysis at every game that I will bet for. Because that's not about luck why we are doing it, we are trying to increase our chance of winning.
When it regards parlay bets, well, it's really a risky move and we should not expect too much out of it. It's very rare for a gambler to win a parlay but if you do the rewards are so amazing that it could cover all the losses from 2 or 3 days of betting in sports. Try cutting the number of parlays, maybe you can win it with just a x5 - x9 multiplier. Just today I did it right with my own analysis and prediction.
Here is the sample of cutting my multiplier and I am glad I am reaping the rewards.

I usually go for x15 - x34 before but as I checked my history that I am not winning them, I changed it and cut it to x5-x9 and it's been 2 consecutive days that I have been winning the same game multi.

I’ve always had considerable interest in all the games I’ve ever placed a bet on. Why put money to bet on games I have no interest in? I’m worried enough about the ones I’ve got interest in and hoping for a positive outcome.
But I’ve also known people who place random bets with small amounts. They’ve also had wins and losses as well.
Perhaps some individuals who gamble could have some extra money that they could literally play around with. It’s wholly dependent on the individual and how he/she chooses to gamble.

Indeed, it will be easier to be able to win bets on games that we like and we will also really enjoy the game and it is difficult to be able to win bets on games that we don't like because we will not be able to play correctly and end up losing. we get because we can't play the game correctly.
Yes, those who place bets randomly of course have more funds so they can place bets wherever they like and if we are lucky then we will be able to win and I think it is very unlikely that we will be able to win that bet.

To just enjoy it, it true that betting on games that we like can provide more enjoyable enjoyment.
But for winning I don't think so because if this is game that is influenced by luck then it won't have any effect on how like it or not.
As an example of slot game, roulette is clearly game of luck because it has random algorithm and cannot be guessed by gambler in order to produce win, no matter how we like this game it is impossible to make it easier to win.
But sometimes many gamblers play various games recommended by other people or friends and they try it the first time they bet and can win, this is normal because luck is on their side.
Mistake is that they increase their bets more carelessly and aim to get big win because they are curious and want to win in game they have never tried before.
Whether they are gambling carelessly with various bets made, if the gambler is in condition of luck then they can definitely win so it can be concluded that most games do not depend on whether we like them or not.
Most important thing is to maintain financial limits and manage time well so that when we gamble we don't experience bad luck that might disappoint us.
But if it is sports betting then what is really important is not about passion but rather knowledge and skill in making predictions, betting without knowledge in making predictions will only be in vain.
Chances of winning will never be increased if predictions are not based on knowledge and skills in knowing the sport or team being bet on.

This weekend I had that awkward experience again and the funny aspect is that it doesn't in anyway come to mind to remember to increase the stake seeing how reluctant I was feeling when booking the games just like other random times

Does anyone also has it this way at one time or the other with their predictions.

It is this kind of experience that makes some gamblers to come up with a winning formula because since they have understand how the experience works with them, they don't allow themselves to make such mistakes again. Since you have already observed that that's how the situation always presented it self to you, I expect you to increase the amount you wised to stake knowing that it is those kind of games you don't take seriously that will give you a potential win. From today  just take note of it and make it a strategy for yourself.

[bocyaj]

I don't know if other gamblers have gotten this experience maybe ones or more throughout their time as gamblers. Cause I have had this experience a few times though I can't actually pinpoint the numbers.

The gambler who play for the few times are not the full time gamblers,they need to play atleast once in a week and four times in a month.Because the regular gambler alone making money in the gambling,the gambler who do random gambling most of the time had loss of their money without knowledge.

There have been times I just out of no serious interest or enthusiasm just decide to try a few predictions on football games and due to the lack of interest in the games just decides to stake with a very low amount and boom, the games played, and you just realized the money won is nothing to be glad about.

The prediction of football games need to have a football knowledge,if you made the random betting in the sports betting,it may leads to loss of all the time you making the betting in the gambling site.Instead increase your football match and place a bet to make the money.

But on certain day's i take the game seriously and put my mind into it and as a result had to stake in a good tangible amount of money to have the potential money to be won big but the games don't usual play despite all of the seriousness and analysis exerted into putting up the games.

If you had come across the good odd game,So the money making in the sports betting using the odds are not the hard one.The essential one is you should individually check the odds will give you money by the play in the gambling site based on the current health condition of the players.

This weekend I had that awkward experience again and the funny aspect is that it doesn't in anyway come to mind to remember to increase the stake seeing how reluctant I was feeling when booking the games just like other random times

The random betting in the gambling site will never work to the gamblers at any point.Only sometimes the gamblers will use to work in the random betting,most of the time the gamblers had loss their funds in the process.Because the random betting rarely allow the gamblers to make the money in the gambling site.

Gamblers who are eager to make profits ends up building themselves to be at the edge of other gamblers. They're always one step ahead and giving up is not an option for them. We should take things very serious, I know most of us will be craving for good results, imitating to be like one of these top gamblers but putting in the work to be at the top is complex. There's a whole lot of sacrifice and disciplinary measures to follow if one's keen on success in the space. It doesn't happen in one or two weeks, it do happens in months and year.

[bakasabo]

I doubt that the amount of bet has some impact on a result. That little bets can suddenly win large amount, and large bets rarely win big amounts. I think it is about psychology of a person. Before we place large bet, we do sort of a research, try to find help in prediction of the result and etc. But when we place small bets, we often dont care much about it, nor expect much. We dont expect it to win. So when it wins, we emotionally pay more attention to it.

Everyone has probably experienced this, sometimes when we bet a small amount, we can actually win with a big win, even though we never actually expected to win big like that. And conversely, when we bet large amounts, with the hope of winning the bet with a big win, we actually cannot win and can even lose in an instant. It seems like that's how gambling works, we can't predict winnings and no one knows when it will come.
I've experienced this, even several times. When I play with the balance I get from a small monthly bonus, sometimes I can win big. However, when I deliberately made a large deposit, each round was very bad. Luck is very attached to gambling, no matter how hard we chase victory, if luck doesn't come to us then we won't be able to win. However, when we play just for fun or fill our free time, sometimes luck just comes.
So I can take a lesson from what I experienced, that we should never think that we can use gambling as an opportunity to make money, that has deviated from the aim of gambling at the beginning which was to have fun.

But a small amount of money will be impactful if you bet numerous times. Numerous small amounts will be equivalent to one large bet amount, so no matter what amount of money you use to bet, it will affect the gambler in some way. I often place a large bet in sports betting if I'm sure about the outcome of the game or if I have the analysis that I can have a higher chance of winning the bet, but if I'm not confident enough or if I'm not sure about the outcome of who will win, then I will only bet a small amount. This is my way of minimising my losses. But of course I bet a large amount in a bet. If I feel greedy and it can't be helped, it's normal for every gambler. Just make sure that every dollar that you bet is money that you can afford to lose.

[Twentyonepaylots]

I think most of the gamblers have had the same experience. I remember last time I was betting on the NBA, and I have this three-leg parlay that includes the Grizzlies vs. the Clippers. That time, the Clippers were out of sync and not winning games because they had just traded for James Harden and were still figuring things out. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, are somehow a weak team because Ja Morant was still suspended at the time and they are losing games. In my mind, the Grizzlies might win this game because the Clippers were on a 4-game losing streak. It is still risky to bet a large or decent amount of money on that one. Good thing I do have this promo code that was given to me by the gambling app that I am using. So I used it, and then boom, that parlay hit. 

The winnings on that parlay are not that big because I just used a promo code, but I am really wondering if I bet a large amount, then that would be an insane amount of money.

In betting, I guess we should not overthink when staking because it might ruin the parlay that we are building. Also, we should just bet a little amount of money, whether it is just a non-sense parlay or a serious one. Win or lose, we still won't regret the bet.

[Solosanz]

It's why you shouldn't expect to win and prepare the worst, believe me you won't be sad anymore and regret with your decision.

Because it happens to me, or maybe happens to every people. So I try to learn to lower my expectation, if I win it means it's just lucky, if I lose it means I deserve for it.

I usually go for x15 - x34 before but as I checked my history that I am not winning them, I changed it and cut it to x5-x9 and it's been 2 consecutive days that I have been winning the same game multi.

Congrats dude, well x15 to x34 is too big IMO.

Lower than x10 is still quite safe, higher than that is just like hoping you win a lottery lol.

I guess almost everyone has such an experience. As you know, sometimes good team lose their games. Sometimes, the match result ended with a draw. If you see that teams like Man U and Wolves are going to play a match, a person who knows about these teams will surely place a bet for Man U. But, as you know, bad day comes. The game may end up without scoring a single goal, and you may lose your bet.

I had this experience, and I believe most of us already experienced this problem. I guess I shouldn't identify this as a problem because these things happen. We pay more attention on certain games because of the confidence we have on a team.

[traderethereum]

It can happen to those who gamble but have no desire other than to have fun. They don't have the burden of winning when they gamble and just want to enjoy their free time by gambling.
There is only a desire to spend their free time so they can win and that is what we should do when playing gambling. We know that winning gambling games is difficult but since gambling is part of entertainment, we use it for fun.
We will not think about the result, winning or losing. It is a normal thing, so we will just think about enjoying it. Winning will come to us when the time comes, and it is better for us just to enjoy the gambling game.

Gambling doesn't care about us. You believe it's all about the huge money? Rethink your thoughts. It's all about the tension, the suspense, and the adrenaline rush. Small bets allow you to be carefree and at ease, and paradoxically, that's when luck chooses to make a pass. But when you go for it and invest a large sum of money? At that point, it looks away

The truth is that luck is erratic. It owes us nothing at all. The takeaway? Never risk for financial gain. Play for pleasure and only risk as much as you can. It's entertainment, not a strategy for investing. Great if luck finds you! You haven't misplaced your shirt if not. Recall that in the end, the house always prevails

[len01]

I often had experiences like this some time ago, I can't even remember how many times I have had this experience, but it often happens in sports betting and casino games such as dice, slots, etc.
what I still remember was trying to bet on a soccer match in the UCL competition but at that time I didn't have much to ask to bet, only that I had the remaining weekly bonus from my VIP account and bet with a parlay bet with odds @20+ (as I remember) and I I only bet a small amount but it turned out my bet won and after that I tried betting a larger amount on the same competition with almost the same odds but when I had the intention to bet seriously with a larger amount the fact was I lost and in my opinion this remains just rely on luck.

and I just had an experience in a slot game when I bet a small amount trying to buy a spin bonus and surprisingly got a 3000x multiplier but when the next time I tried again with a bigger bet amount, it was like everything was in vain without any luck.
In conclusion, it's all just about luck, even if we use the biggest amount we have, if we are only lucky to get $10, we still won't get a big win unless we accidentally bet $1 in one spin in the slot game to get maxwin.

[Blitzboy]

How deliciously terrible is it that she shows up unannounced and underappreciated when our bets are as half-hearted as a Monday morning smile? I throw some coins into the abyss without thinking, and she gives me a tiny win thats nearly offensive.

Im all in metaphorically and literally certain days. My pocketbook is open and my mind is strategic, ready to enjoy the bounty. And I get? Hard lesson in fate's whimsy. Weekend adventure was the same. How ironic? In that carefree mood, I never consider upping the ante. I feel like my gambler's instinct is drinking cocktails on a beach remote from reality.

[CryptSafe]

Sometimes it happens like that. I have had the experience a few times but do not get me wrong I do not do that to win but on conviction when ever my interest arouse for a game. Most times the game plays and most times it cuts but I do not feel bad about it because it is all for fun and not to earn.

Does anyone also has it this way at one time or the other with their predictions.

What you are experiencing is not peculiar to you as I've heard many people saying that. The truth is that when you think you did not put your mind to the game or make serious speculation, your inner man did, and it was undiluted as though you actually did it with all seriousness. Do you know how his (inner man) own prediction is now better? It's because you came up with the conclusion without relying solely on what you know.

The inner man and luck at times work together as well. I can't really explain whether this is spiritual or psychological. But one thing I can say is that it predicts with instincts and no distractions and it happens mainly during the unconsciousness of the person.

You may not believe this or understand but it is what it is.

[aylabadia05]

This is the fun of gambling. Don't take your feelings seriously.
Very often experiences like this occur in lottery gambling. Pay attention to the basic output numbers to match the latest output numbers for that day by not then buying them, when they are opened they are even accurate even though the bet is not big.

<snip>

This is not new to us anymore. That is why never take gambling seriously. If you want to gamble, just do it because you are looking for an entertainment, not actually to turn your money into instant huge amount.

Greater luck than skill.
Correct. This is nothing new for those of us in gambling. When I first touched gambling, I took it seriously every time I played, even though it was all nothing if we think about it. After observing what I said above, gambling is just for fun.

This is the same as what people who have repented from gambling say, that something they hope for will not come as expected. It's the unexpected that often succeeds.
Betting on small money or betting like the gambling mafia feels the same.
