Have you had this gambling experience?

[Lida93]

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.

Many times.. Not only just on sports betting but also in other some casino or luck based games too on which you would really be able to hit up some huge multipliers on slots
on the time that you would really be making up some small bets per roll and something that would be opposite if you do tend to adjust it on bigger amounts which it do really sucks
big time on having that kind of feeling on which it could really give out that kind of frustration on which i would say that it is really that a common thing to happen.

Not only just that limited on gambling but also even on investment. If it turns out that you arent serious with it and throwing up some few bucks but
ended up on getting those x's as compared into those investment that you had put up huge amount of money but ended up on negative or having a struggle
on hitting x2 which it do really give out that kind of pissed moment. 

[electronicash]

it doesn't just happen in football games. even in basketball.

but for the most part, i see this over and over in UFC matches where the bout is almost predictable because you know one is just a completely dominant fighter with one punch KO, and all of a sudden the guy loses. there is just something about someone that a fighter is not successful in striking. Strickland vs Adesanya for instance, a gambler would bet almost their entire salary for this fight thinking Adesanya would win.

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.

Anytime I put money on a game I am not putting 5 cents on it or there is no point. I want to bet enough to get my interest in the games I bet on and make it more exciting for me. If you have a lack of interest, then why bet at all?

[Oilacris]

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

Same thoughts, which whenever you do saw that on the time that you would be making out some huge bets and totally lost in the end. Then why not trying out to reverse those things?
If you do feel out that having that confidence then bet up big and if you do have those  serious approach then make some small bets then lets see on what would be the result.

Just like on what those things mentioned above then if you arent that mindful about on how much you do spend and just enjoying the game  then
you wont really be making out these kind of questions on which you would really be just that simply accepting it and would really be just simply move on.
Well, we are just humans on which we do make out those kind of observations on the time that we do make out some bets, so it isnt bad to have
this kind of discussion i should say.

[aylabadia05]

I have experienced all of this very often in many types of betting, not just in football matches.
When we place a bet and our minds focus on the expected results, but in reality the actual results are different from expectations.
In fact, when our concentration on betting is not really serious, the results are actually good.

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.

More of the reason why I think they say you should also treat it as a sport play it for fun, the games that you get too interested in are actually games where you take things too seriously and probably forget that it’s gambling and you can lose, but this one that you don’t take too serious is actually the one you pick games not base on sentiment but on facts as your eyes is clear. I can relate this to even some other aspects like trading where some set ups you don’t think will yield will even go as far hitting your target. That’s it, maybe you should start taking your games not too serious  ; so you can win more

From my personal experience, it seems gambling is designed this way, and it is a true test of our emotions. When you want to be serious, you will lose more but when you are unserious, the winnings will surprise you.
I have had this experience many times and I end up feeling bad because the games you don't expect to work are those that will eventually work as predicted. Assuming a gambler can adjust to this casual pattern and make it a habit, I'm sure the result will be better than this serious forecast that always turn out very disastrous. 

[Juse14]

Regarding what you are experiencing, it is a fairly common occurrence among gambling players. This applies when interest and enthusiasm for a game decreases, be it football betting or other types of gambling, this can affect our betting decisions. At certain times we may only bet to try our luck, so we place small bets without serious calculations, and perhaps at other times, we may be very confident and really feel ready to place large bets. with the hope that we can also achieve greater victories too. However, sometimes, even by creating and uploading careful and wise analysis results, when it comes to what the final result will be like, whether we lose or win, we really don't know before the betting session actually ends, and the final result could be it doesn't match what we previously predicted. Therefore, it is quite important to always pay attention to our emotions and motivations for placing bets, and don't forget to always ensure that betting/gambling activities are managed as well as possible.

Well, op, the same have happened to me a lot of times I can't even remember or count so as to put them in numbers, and as a matter of fact, things like this will always happen regardless of how much we try to pay attention so as to take some necessary step to potential win big when it seems such opportunity has presented itself.

I could remember one time I was to bet on a game, I was not actually feeling like it, I felt completely uninterested to bet on that game, but for the fact that I did not find any other really interesting game to bet on, I decided to bet on that game  with a very small amount of money, but just before I clicked the bet button, I remembered that sometimes, it's mostly games that I feel very reluctant to bet on that I always win, so forcing myself, increasing the bet amount to a significant amount of money, which brought my potential winning amount to a huge amount as well,, in the end, the game did not play, so I lost the money, and after discovering that the game did not play, something in me told me that the game would have played if I had not increased my bet, this experience actually drove me to thinking that may be there are some forces that control how much we win from gambling on some games, and in some period of time..

So, in essence, things like this I believe is very common with most gamblers, and there is no way to beat it, it will always happen, and when we are too careful enough to notice and then increase our bet, then we likely may lose the game.

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

The game of football just like every other game is unpredictable and small teams can unexpectedly win big teams. You might place a bet with the club that you were sure will win based on recent performance and they might just lose the game due to a single mistake. Sometimes one might just reluctantly stake a game without proper analysis, yet luck might just be at the person's side. These unpredictable experiences show that gambling is a game of luck. Many amateur bettors know little about betting but win big because they are just fortune. Gambling is like a computer in which your financial input will determine what you get, this is why I put in substantial amounts when I want to place a bet.  I gamble within my budget but it is always something that can bring in good money if I win and it is also an amount that I can afford to lose.

[Crypto Library]

I think almost all gamblers face the experience op went through at least once in their life. But I think as the op said that he doesn't gamble with serious interest, this is probably not the case for everyone. Because if you want to gamble, you should have an idea about the sports and teams that you can bet on, and I think most of the gamblers take gambling as fun, but they are serious about it. Because if this interest is not there, the person who bets on sports will not have an idea about the teams automatically, and in that case I think that the gambler will put his money in betting like this, it will be like leaving money blindly.

[decodx]

I've been there too.  You toss a few dollars on some game you don't care about, maybe make enough to buy a coffee and  then you go full stat geek, researching for hours, totally sure of your picks.  But then - bam! - they all lose.  Such a familiar story for any bettor. 

We get that urge to spend way too much time analyzing matchups and numbers even for sports we don't follow.  Feeling like weve uncovered some secret strategy.  Yet more often than not, it blows up in our faces.  Just one of those painful lessons most gamblers have to learn at some point.

[Rruchi man]

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

It is a common experience among gamblers, that is why you often hear gamblers saying when you gamble with your intention not fully on winning, you may get lucky because of not overthinking about your options.

For gamblers yet to have this experience, it will surely come, and no matter how much prepared you are for the situation, you can never prepare enough because it always happens unexpectedly.

[Agbamoni]

This experience is very relatable, and it has happened to me several times. At that point in time, I feel like luck is not on my side maybe I should just quit gambling, or I should continue. It is so frustrating that when you want to play around some games that is when those predictions will actually come true but whenever you need the money so serious you end up losing the game.

Well, let's just say it's an experience almost all gamblers will come across. It has nothing to do with bad luck. Maybe we should just stick to our instincts whenever we gamble it most times work.

Personally I only watch local basketball and football so I can say I am not enthusiastic about many matches. If I was tk be betting o my on games I am watching I would be betting on soccer once every two or three weeks due to time constraints also. The thing I take UK TK when gambling lately is putting low stakes in high odds paroly bets lately as I find this more enjoyable. I like the chances but not being obsessed with every single match to be honest. And being ok with low stakes is better for me.

But of course everyone has their own style. I think it's a bit superstitious to consider that you have more or less chances to win based on if you are interested in a match or not.

[Ever-young]

You are completely correct; this type of betting trend is not limited to football or soccer alone. It can be seen in all sports and games that involve money. And it's funny that you brought up the UFC, where even the most powerful fighters can have a bad day or lose unexpectedly. I believe that the psychological side of competition is sometimes underestimated, but it can have a significant impact on the outcome. A fighter who is overconfident or lacks focus can quickly lose to a hungry and motivated opponent.

[Rufsilf]

Even though you mentioned that you have no interest in football games, you still try to bet on them.
This suggests to me that perhaps your consciousness is guiding you to that field or that you have the guts to do that.
In any case, there are times when following our instincts can increase our chances of winning. Similar to how unexpected things can happen when we gamble because our sole chance of winning is by luck; nonetheless, we lose when we take things seriously or focus. For me, if it is meant to be, it is meant to be but if it is not, then it's not.

I experienced this kind of stuff not on sports betting but it also has something to do with sports specifically basketball.  People who want to earn 20% of the total collected bet try this kind of betting game where they ask the participants what number would be the game ending.  There are 100 combinations to choose from so I always take care of a certain number every basketball gameplay but I failed to win.  The time when I missed betting was also the time when the number combination won.

It is somehow regrettable when this kind of things happen but we can't do anything about it so we have to move on and learn from that experience.  Btw, we called that betting game Basketball Ending where the last digit of the game result is the winning number, the first number is taken from the winning score while the second number is from the losing score. For example if the end score is 82 -71, the winning number combination would be 2-1. The betting game mechanics is also explained in this thread.
