Story of my life

[Crypt0Gore]

Have you ever noticed or am I the only one?

The more active I become with gambling, the more it drags me back, luckily I keep risking only what I want to lose.

The less active I become with gambling, the more positive it gets for me, not most of the time but my results are simply better than when I was very active.

It's like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers. I don't know, so far I can only find someone who has seen such before.

A friend who lives far away from me has also said the same, he got tired of gambling because it wasn't going his way but when he started talking it less seriously, that's when he started to get positive results.

Has anyone had the same experience before?

Has anyone had the same experience before?

Positive result on the sense that you arent that losing money once you do lessen out that kind of involvement with gambling on which this is common sense. If you arent doing something then there's no spending or
depositing funds on which you are really not that losing any funds but on the time that you would really be doing the opposite then of course you would really be having that risks on losing big amount.

It would really be understandable on how it works because  this is how gambling do works as simple as that. The more active involvement then the more spending you would be having which is unlike
if you do ignore and keep it to minimal level or really that taking a full break then it would be that means that you arent losing money.
Same goes into those typical decisions that we do make into our lives, like spending up lavishly on non worthy things would be ending up for you to overdropped
or out of budget. Same goes with other things in life.

What positive results you are talking? Is it winning?

Well, I guess what you are doing is just trying not to be addicted with gambling, so with less gambling activities, you don't think about it much. Actually the missing factor is only discipline, because even if you are gambling on a regular basis but you have that discipline, you'll certainly get the positive things you are looking. Most of us are aiming to win, but we know for the fact that gambling does not make everyone a winner, in fact only few of us, so we have to understand that reality so we will not expect too much especially if we know in ourselves that we are not doing good in terms of profitability.

A gambler may be his own enemy. If you gamble reasonably then you are free from such thinking

The more active I become with gambling, the more it drags me back, luckily I keep risking only what I want to lose.

You are probably gambling with all your intention to get profit, chasing your loses and struggling to survive with gambling. When you left that style of gambling and had a free mind to it probably enjoying the bet then you reason properly and stake rightly. Don't gamble as you can not bear.

The less active I become with gambling, the more positive it gets for me, not most of the time but my results are simply better than when I was very active.

You got less active and started thinking rightly and that will positively influence your analysis and of course you will do better than chasing your loses.

It's like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers. I don't know, so far I can only find someone who has seen such before.

Casino has no business with messing with you being active , afterall you have not said you were winning big  Casino may have house edge to be more profitable because you are playing a lucky base game and probability of your losing will be higher than your winning and those loses will naturally go to the casino. So casino doesn't have to mess with active player except you think you are being manipulated.

A friend who lives far away from me has also said the same, he got tired of gambling because it wasn't going his way but when he started talking it less seriously, that's when he started to get positive results.

He probably started gambling the right way like you

Have you ever thought about how this whole system is designed to keep you playing? Your story, the whole "less active, more luck" thing - that's not some cosmic sign. That's basic human psychology coming at you hard. Casinos don't need to rig the games, man. The numbers, the odds, they work in their favor from the jump.

It's all about the pressure. You play less, care less, and boom, suddenly it looks different. Same for your friend. It ain't about taking things lightly, it's about your perception shifting because there's less on the line. We're pattern-making machines, always trying to find reasons, even where they don't exist.

Now, if you're only playing what you're willing to lose, that's huge. But this "lucky streak" idea. The casino business, it's built on the idea that people get desperate, think they've found some secret to beat the house. That's the cycle, and they know it. They know the house wins in the long run.

So here's the question, the one you gotta answer honestly: is that occasional win worth the constant drain on your life, the potential for more loss? Think bigger picture here, think about how this whole system is designed to manipulate you.

[xLays]

In my opinion, this is common among gambling addicts. Of course, the more you gamble, the more you lose. Just because you gamble frequently doesn't mean you have a high chance of winning; in fact, the chances of losing are even higher because the odds are always in favor of the house or the casino. So it's really better to avoid gambling as much as possible. It doesn't bring any good outcomes (well unless you're really lucky lol).

It is the same for any other bad habit. Have you seen a guy who got better as he drinks more and more? Have you seen somebody who got betters as he smokes more? The more addicted you get to something, the worse the situation will get. The trick is to keep these addictions under control. If you manage to do it, it even won't be an addiction anymore. It will be a harmless vice. I mean you'll still damage your body if you smoke but it is not going to matter much if you do it once a month. You'll still lose money when you gamble but again, if you do it less, it won' be a life changing amount.

If you are talking about taking gambling "seriously" then this might be the problem already.
Since gambling is supposed to be entertainment, taking it serious already takes it way too far.

People imagine the worst things when they feel conspiracies and so on. I can relate. I also feel like once I raise the stake suddenly the losing run comes. Since I can't prove anything and they say it "provably fair" that's just how is.

The brain is a powerful tool but can be manipulated very easy.

[Oshosondy]

Has anyone had the same experience before?

Yes. I also see more positive results when I did not take gambling seriously unlike when I was in gambling addiction. I use small amount of money this time and this makes me to change my strategy and risk on more games that I will be afraid of if I use high amount of money. But surprisingly I win at times and I win than before. But there are times of losses, no matter what. But I prefer now than then.

[Frankolala]

The more you put all your hope in using gambling to make profit, the more you become frustrated in it because it is not going to give you any wins. It happens to everyone that gambles because they want to double their funds with it. Most people that win big, don't take their bet serious, or are not going to bet because they believe that they would win that game, but they were lucky enough to play the game at the right time of their luck.

This is why gambling should not be taken that serious so that it does not messes with your emotions. Only gamble like someone who does not care about the outcome, and that will make you feel happy when you loss, and happier when you win.

[mu_enrico]

The result is random; if you achieve good results, it might be due to coincidence. But I do agree that people should play with moderation, as you will waste a lot of time playing games if you are not careful. The result of too much gambling is obvious; it will degrade your life's quality: poor sleep, lethargy, laziness at work, bad mood, etc. I recommend setting one or two days exclusively for gambling and not playing every night, even if it's just for one hour. In the heat of the moment, you may not realize the time, and suddenly it's morning and you have to go to work!

Casinos are not wired in anyway as that like you think, you been too active limits your concentration on making correct predictions when you keep getting losses on each bet that how you keep acting emotional towards the next bet you are to make.

No offense, but why will you be too active with gamble, are you that jobless or what. The mentality I have about active gamblers is that they are either jobless in all ramifications or they are addicted gamblers which to me they really need urgent help.

What we should be active on shouldn't be something order than a job or reliable income source. Reliable in the sense that it's not hanged on chance or luck for profit to be achieved but on our skills and abilities. Not gamble.

[Assface16678]

But for how long? Maybe these recent days or your gambling sessions are lucky and a coincidence that you often win, or you say that it goes your way, but the thing is, what is your basis? You should somehow show or provide some proof because, from what I think, you only believe that it goes your way. That's why. Anyway,  my advice is that it will not last long, so until you have the time or will to stop being too addicted to gambling, stop it or limit it. I never once treated gambling poorly or not seriously because I knew the consequences of losing money. Even though it is extra money or money I can afford to lose, it is still money. Anyway its your own money and gambling experience maybe it really is being according to your wants but also remember that everything has a consequence so still do gambling with precautions.

Actually the advantage of staying consistent with gambling only have to be the experience you get as you continue but asides that you will get your mind messed especially when you continually experience losses and the taught of trying to recover will gradually set in and that's the beginning of you probably getting to change losses and staying at risk of become addicted which is one of the aspect most persons definitely want to avoid.

Whenever you stop gambling in awhile you seem to clear your mind of the losses and the whole risk you were exposed to gambling so you definitely start again with a fresh mind and definitely helps you gamble better,  that way your gambling decisions will definitely be more informed than it would be when you are actively gambling and your mind is possibly messed up and you are not in the best mind to take proper decisions for gambling so that's why it usually looks like the casino messes with active gamblers and probably get their minds in a State that causes them improper decisions.

The less active you are gambling the better your chances of you not getting your mind messed while trying to make your picks and properly getting yourself a chance of winning even when the Gambling is basically luck base you still get the opportunity to create an edge for yourself so you don't get to loose all the time but have your chances of winning a few times when you use your edge.

Are you trying to say that you experience a financial set back the more you get on gambling too often and you see the reverse in the other way if you're less often in gambling, this will have to do about you and not the gambling you're doing, you should gambling base on what you can afford to loose, this is an indication that you're spending too much from you're earnings on gambling in which should because some aspect of your life is going to be affected at the cause, plan yourself right and adjust from the way you gamble and the amount used for such, remember we are to gamble and get entertained and not to make money from it.

People will correlate what is happening to them to what they feel in the situation. But usually, we only have that kind of feeling and not the population in general. It is like thinking of a belief that you highly believe is working on you, but in general population, it is not happening. In most cases, it is just a mere coincidence why it happened, but some people will give it a meaning and think that such belief is working for them.

But whatever people will think on their gambling situation, at the end of the day, it is still gambling. We can give meaning all we like, but one thing we need to take care of is our financial limits. We should not forget our boundaries before it is too late to get out.

[alani123]

At least with provably fair gambling games it's impossible to mess with you in this way because the results are pre determined so the casino can not change them based on your bet amounts or how often you wagger.

So if you are paranoid about this but still want to enjoy some small waggers just stick with provably fair gambling games just to put your mind at ease. With games like slots it's also entirely possible that the casinos or providers could rig them. Maybe they do it, but probably not. It's only impossible to prove that they don't as they're not implementing proofs systems so far.

[Sim_card]

I guess your problem is that you are not gambling with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, and you don't have time limit on your gambling activities, which makes you to just keep on gambling. Don't think that the longer or more serious you are with gambling is how lucky you will become. Instead when you play more and form to be very serious, that is when you will lose the more, because you will be controlled by your emotions and you will think that there is hope of winning the next game, which is not true. The reason is that you want to win by all means.

[michellee]

You are right that the more active we are in gambling, the more we will want to return. That is why we must have good self-control so as not to keep returning. Many people have become so immersed in gambling that they can no longer stop themselves.

If we can learn to control ourselves well, we will not gamble excessively and stick with what we are used to. We will only gamble if we want to and have no desire to chase victory because it is difficult. We just want to enjoy gambling in our free time and don't want to spend more money.

We know that playing gambling can make us forget to stop gambling. But with our self-control, we can stop ourselves from gambling enough. We also won't allow ourselves to gamble any longer. It will only make it difficult for us to stop gambling.

I think it is just the same for everyone, and to be honest, you don't actually win more when you become less active in gambling simply because you became less active, but you win more simply because, this time, you spend more time analyzing games, you gamble more carefully this time than when you were actively playing, so, this carefulness, together with the fact that you now place less bets, overly contributes to what seems to us like we are winning more.

But on the other hand, when we gamble more actively, we place alot of bets, and out of those lots of bets we place, majority are likely to turn out as loses, but also at times, alot too could be a winning bet, but because we place alot of bet, and most tend to end up being a loss, we usually fail to notice the bets that actually won.
We could actually say that it's our minds playing it's usual tricks on us, in the end, if we observe the difference between this two scenarios carefully, it is actually the same thing, you gamble more, you lose more and also win more, if you gamble less, you lose less, and also win less.
