Story of my life

[Shamm]

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?

I don't think that gambling can make us a good profit cause we are all know that once we gamble for profit then one thing for sure we will surely get losses. And about what you said mate that is one of the best example that once we are betting more then we will loss more and once we are betting too low then we got small losses and have a chance that we will win a good amount of money. But we must know or put our mind that every time we put a bet we don't have the the power to control the outcome.

Now that's a good tip for all of us. We should start not thinking about betting anymore. It's just like what they say you'll find love when you are not looking for it. And so in gambling, you hit the jackpot when you don't keep wagering to hit the jackpot.

It sounds a bit mental really because, within you, you will not mind how much you are losing when you don't think about it. But seriously, no one gets tired of gambling. In fact, you get addicted to it more and more because you want to win.

I feel like in that story, you're aware that you're already slipping away OP, this is just my hunch but you're getting addicted to gambling already and what you've just posted right now, it's not the whole truth, sorry for being doubtful but this is the Internet and there's really no demerits to lying to people here right? People do it all the time to troll others. The reason why I don't believe you is that I don't think you'd be adding those compensations at the end where you're gambling only what you can afford to lose, there's no way that you're going to say this without any kind of reason right?

[uneng]

Has anyone had the same experience before?

Yes. I've already had the impression that the more often I gamble, less positive outcomes I get from it. On the other hand, when I gamble for shorter periods of time, and less frequently, it seems results are much better and I don't encounter long loss streaks, being possible to quit the gambling session in profit. I imagined that could be the house baiting me to continue playing with higher sums of money, however, that wouldn't be possible considering there is a provably fair algorithm which ensures the legitimacy of every bets, without being possible for the house to manipulate outcomes.

So I guess it happens just due to the fact when we gamble too much, we hit the long term more often, where the house always have the advantage, but when we play once in a while, we tend to stay inside the short run margin, which is still profitable for gamblers.

That is gambling for you. The more active you become, the more motivation you have to continue the habit and at that time, you are always thinking to win big so you will be creeping into the addiction stage of gambling. And the less active you are in gambling the less interest you have in gambling. And if you are not an active gambler, you might even leave gambling one day. But if you are active it will be very difficult for you to leave gambling. Therefore always control your gambling habit and play with the funds that you can afford to lose.

I for one do not think that gambling drags you back and you lose only what you want to lose and somehow, you have just had enough considering it didn't affect your wallet balance.
 
I want to know how gambling affected you in a negative way such that you lose funds, become indebted, become mentally drained and sometimes unstable and then you just stopped somehow because it was clearly ruining your life.

Everyone is aware how addictive gambling can be and am sure you got bored along the line and just got fed up because it became more of a serious job rather than fun and thrill as it is supposed to be. Perhaps if you switched to another type of game, gambling would become exciting again or should you decide to play online instead of offline.
Occasionally gambling is more fun as always and it is better enjoyed when one has gambling limits for a day as much as when one does it when the mind is free and relaxed.

That is gambling for you. The more active you become, the more motivation you have to continue the habit and at that time, you are always thinking to win big so you will be creeping into the addiction stage of gambling. And the less active you are in gambling the less interest you have in gambling. And if you are not an active gambler, you might even leave gambling one day. But if you are active it will be very difficult for you to leave gambling. Therefore always control your gambling habit and play with the funds that you can afford to lose.

Of course, the more often you gamble, the harder it will be to stop and this will definitely become addictive. Because it's only because of your curiosity that you always hope to win when playing, and play again and again with the same hope, which makes you keep gambling and lose control.
And if you rarely gamble or are not an active gambler, I think you definitely have the ability to stop at any time if you want. And usually such gamblers always use money that they can afford to lose, because most of them gamble just for fun with a few dollars and that too when there is an urge to gamble. Otherwise, they wouldn't do it.

For sure it is evident with most of the gamblers except for those who are really lucky. But if you're one with those who doesn't win regularly, playing more frequent will just yield to bigger loss. Same reason why I never believed of the martingale strategy of doubling up the amount I lost for the next bet. We're having no assurance at all and things will just become a cycle; win 2 times then lose 6 times, continuing with hopes of getting back with losses then once you're close to that purpose, you'd desire of winning big but things won't go in accordance with what you want IF you are not lucky.

Gambling less frequent would at least save you from big loss and will give you time to gamble efficiently. Same thing with winning, if you know when to stop and what amount is to be secured for that day when you're in winning position, then things would go better than to push things and keep on being left with nothing. As I always say, imposing self discipline would be best than to chase for that much of profit. We just tend to forget that this is gambling and nothing's really certain especially winning.

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.

I also believed that once since there's a way to learn players gambling patterns over time, but that was because I came to gambling from IT and I knew that it's very rare for a business not to collect data on its clients. They not only check what you buy in online stores but also what items you compare, what you click, so that they can later target you with commercials and can show you certain items on their home page. Casinos can easily do the same seeing that you only play one game, like dice and double your bets Martingale style, starting with very low bets, the casino can adjust to it making you win your first small bets and then trying to get you into a small losing streak to zero you again and reset the game.

That's just speculation though. We could have a number of conspiracy theories, like my favorite ones that a casino owner can set the system to overdrive if someone wins a lot of money.
Since there's 200 people playing at the same time, if one person get a jackpot the system can make half of the players lose their next 2 rounds to get some of the money back and balance the bankroll.
If this happened nobody would know. The jackpot winner would go home happy that night and the rest of the casino wouldn't even know that they all took a hit to pay for his win.

Again, that's something that could be done with a bit of coding, but doesn't mean that it is.
Although when Karpeles found out his exchange is bankrupt he made a bot that was trading against his customers to earn him back some money and keep the exchange solvent, so things like that havebeen done before.

[Churchillvv]

It's not like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers but it's just because most people put more effort trying to make big profits from casinos and that intention is always what we speak against here in the gambling world.  Until you realise that gambling is not for the eating purpose as we expect the more we are likely to begin to win more in casinos.

As long as you keep your eyes on the casino whether online or land based casino you will tend to be making mistakes every time you gamble because you desires will be to hit big even when your predictions are wrong hence you will keep staking again and again making you feel like your not wining when you should have just relent from staking already.

Sincerely, I experience this and I'm still on it. Long time ago when I was very active in gambling, I kept wagering and lossing because I felt been so active staking will increase the chance of winning but that's not how gambling works, untill when I started only when I feel like then I began to win more.

[adpinbr]

Yes, this is because you are taking precaution and also taking your time to gamble. You are not just gambling for fun or gambling because you see other people you are doing it because you have a reason and you have cutting your prediction before placing your bet. this makes you succeed than those people that just wake up in the bed Every morning and gamble I’m not even concentrating at home or at work. All they do is just a gamble those kind of people end up losing all the time because they taking their whole life and gambling and they don’t even want to understand that gambling is a risk  that need too much precaution.

[karabiber]

Has anyone had the same experience before?

When we gamble, we always play to win more and this is the trap that casinos want to trap us in. Play more, win more. That is a trap. I was in the same situation as you. When I gambled to win more money I was always losing and I would gamble more and more to win back the money I had lost but I would start losing more and more money. Once I realized that there was no end to it, I started gambling in amounts that I wouldn't get upset if I lost.

I started to win more and more money when I gambled as the purpose of gambling turned into fun. Set a plan for yourself and do it for fun. When you win even small amounts of money, know when to stop. Because the casino wants to suck you in and as the casino makes you money, it will take it back from you in a lump sum. I think the most important thing is to know how to stop when you are making money from gambling. And the most important thing is to gamble with money that you don't feel sorry when you lose.

Gambling is like a fire sets close to the Riverside the more the breeze keep blowing the more the fire keeps burning. Meaning, if you keep giving attention to gambling the more you are thinking a ways to explore it more better, since the gambling would be ringing on your brains therefore making you to think that when you start putting interest you would get more winning. It could be that you are starting to develop interest on a particular side be it sport betting or wrestling, in as much as you have gamble before and make some possible winning it's like a free ticket for you to sink into it fully with the mindset you will continue winning all time you gambling.

As long as you are in the gambling place, you can control everything and are not affected by the conditions around you, then you will remain calm when gambling. Adjust the capital you use to gamble. When it is finished for today, we will leave the gambling place, continue betting again tomorrow or another Time again, don't be easily influenced to always spend money at one time. Betting on sports is really fun because we can see directly how the players are doing before competing. At least gambling with less risk is sports because we can predict it a little.

I agree.  When you gamble amd its stressful you make bad decisions or chase losses, etc.  Take the emotion out of it and have fun.  Then you won't feel the need to gamble when you are having an off day.  For me it's entertainment so win or lose I really don't care.  It's helped me make rational decisions when awhile ago I wasn't when I was playing to win.

That's a fascinating observation, and you're definitely not alone in noticing it! It seems like when we take a step back and gamble less seriously, we're not only less stressed about the outcomes but also somehow end up with better results. Maybe it's about the pressure easing off, or perhaps luck favors the relaxed gambler. For sure there's something about approaching it with a lighter heart that makes a difference. It's interesting how taking it easy can sometimes work in our favor!

I haven't noticed that. Sometimes I win sometimes I lose also
But that doesn't mean it's determined by my frequently being online in gambling.

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.

Whatever or which ever way you know you are good at making success in gambling, then you should go for it. Each an everyone has his or her own ways of making progress in gambling and which I cant say you shouldn't use that way. The goal is to succeed no matter whatever.

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.

Things work out the way we believe. your friend has a believe on that aspect and he always got what he believes as a result. So he should chose the line between talking much about gambling and not talking much about gambling. Like I said which ever way that favour us should not be compromised.

Has anyone had the same experience before?

Like I said before I don't have that kind of experience before but I win and lose like every other normal person will win and lose.

Maybe it's because the less time you spend, the less you lose. I also notice this trend and yeah, it would seem that the more you play, the more chances you lose as you stay longer on the table. And the house definitely knows this. Like trying to lure fish with fish bait lol. They love people who have less self-control where a single loss would mean more drive to stay longer and bet higher. If you think about it, it's a game of luck, mostly but your chances are less than 50-50 the longer time you spend playing. I guess that's where the challenge and excitement comes for many gamblers.

Gambling gives us hopes that within fraction of seconds we can double the money. Now when our brain receives this information, it creates adrenaline rush inside us, and also we take stress about it. After all we are risking our hard earned money right? Hence in this type of situation, when you avoid gambling, you get relaxed. This happens with almost everyone. No need to take tension of getting losses, and hence life goes on easily. So it’s always ideal that gamble frequently when you can afford to lose or for recreational purpose only.

You really nailed this. For me, gambling for OP is really not for him/her.
There's still a chance to stop and move on, accept the losses, and move forward because sometimes stopping to gamble is the only key to making us more successful financially as gambling is not for everyone.
