Ever Projected how to spend gambling profits while the game has not played yet?

[EluguHcman]

The worst ridiculous and ugliest moment I have ever encountered pertaining gambling is when a friend told me and few other friends that he was going to take responsibility of the bills for our weekend hangout.
He had us that confidence to be unfailingly.
Guess what???
It was actually from a game he booked against the weekend that had him that morale to had projected this weekend hangout amongst us and it was not that he had secured the money to be assured.

As a matter of fact, he was nowhere to be found all through the weekend and could not even take his calls because he felt messed up of himself for the false promises.
While time passes by, you can imagine how he narrated the stories and felt remorseful of being a d!ck head as the game failed him as predicted.

There’s nothing on being optimistic about how you will manage the future profit of your gambling. The only problem on this story is he already committed while the result is not yet out. He should at least make his plan available to him only before he start committing with the potential money he will earn when his prediction works out.

I usually done this whenever I want to buy something before I proceeded to gamble. The only difference is I’m okay whether I win or lose since I can still purchased my desired item without the help of gambling profit. I’m just doing it to have a goal on my gambling so that I will not over committed to earn more outside my target profit.

You mean he won and used all the money to gamble and later lost all? That is gambling. Or you mean that he staked a bet and thinking he is going to win and told you that? That is not wise at all. Or maybe he staked parsley and have won almost all but the last matches or match messed things up for him.

Even if a friend tells me that he is going to pay for everything when we hangout or in a bar, I make sure that I have enough money with me in case of any disappointment.

[Frankolala]

We don't need to use the money that we are expecting from the game that we bet on to havejope of paying our bets or make promises to people. Neither should you rely on such money that have not been won. The reason is that there is no sure bet, until the game is over and you won, that is when you can say that you are lucky.

What your friend did is not new, and that is why you see gamblers staking with the amount that they cannot afford to lose, and when the game is over and no luck, they might start chasing their loss, because they cannotwt go of the money, and they want to win by all means.

[Davidvictorson]

On the other side of the coin of do not borrow money to gamble is the do not make any promises or plan from your imaginary future wins that hasn't been confirmed. It was just being over-confident. I understand his disappointment and yours too but it is nothing to worry about. We all have been there, we make plans from money that is not in our hands or bank account. This proves that no matter how confident we are in our bet slip there is that huge unknown which is out of our control. Next time your friend makes a promise of this nature, quickly chip in a "what -if". "What if you don't win?"

[348Judah]

Does it even occur with the online gambling platforms that you may play a bet in advance to pay later when the game starts, i don't think of that and anyone who also engage in this kind of practice for the physical gambling will only be disappointed because he cannot recover back the money to the gambling platform after he already lost the game, what i know is gamblers paying before gambling, except they lend from friends to gamble.

[Peanutswar]

At the first place that conversation of yours with your friend doesn't have an assurance, that he will owe money, just a casual arrogant way to get superior with the decision-making that is always normal into a conversation with a group of friends just to become dominant, and another thing is don't rely too much with other people or act they will owe something from you as long as there's no assurance and just a words don't trust anybody. I don't think so could be related to gambling or in an off-topic.

I consider this as an unwise decision made by most gamblers. It's like building a house without any foundation. I've seen so many gamblers in my local area, pricing and making plans to purchase some new items hoping that their next game will come out well. Shouldn't we consider this a bit of addiction? I call it stupidity as winning in gambling isn't guaranteed and you don't know what might happen, you will end up losing more than you imagined. Your friend shouldn't be like that but rather wait for his winnings to be sure of first before planning out such weekend gatherings. Though I don't see any reason for him to be hiding as even you and others should know very well that winning in gambling isn't something that happens as expected.

You 're right, this might sound like building a house without foundation but actually many gamblers act irrationaly. They count on money they didn' t win yet and if they are really addicted they believe that next game will give them winnings they often already spent in advance. Because for such gambler failure is not an option.

[aioc]

In the back of my mind, I do have plans but I'm not making specific things that I will do with my winnings even if the game has not yet been planned, I don't want to be disappointed it's like counting chicken when they are still eggs it's very premature, you have to focus first on the game if you're in luck and if you win then you can plan what you want to do with your earnings.
It is a great feeling and you can plan well what to do with your winning if the money is already in your hands. although there's nothing wrong with doing that, planning ahead if you can accept the outcome win or lose.

No one can deny that they do not have this type of thoughts in their heads especially when they are damn sure of the game. When I have these sketchy plans of what to do with my gambling profits it is not buying something massive like as house, a car or business but to spend it on having a good time.

Shouldn't we consider this a bit of addiction?

No. It has nothing to do with addiction. It only does when it done to the extreme. I think is normal but some persons over do it. The addiction component is when the gamblers gambles more often than they would normally do in a week with the hope of using their gambling profit on something. Anyone who maintains his regular gambling routine but still make plans ahead of what to do with the profit isn't addicted.

As long as you are comfortable with the result and the outcome will not make you feel disappointed I don't see anything wrong with it, I sometimes do that, and it motivates me to do and try to have good bets.

The most important thing is you know the fact that there's no guarantee on your bet and it could go either way you can laugh at your choice and those plans you have while starting to bet.

Acceptance in every bet is important you will not become disappointed it's ok to plan what you will do with your winning as long as you prioritize your enjoyment more than your profit.

This story of yours OP is what most gamblers experience especially if they have obligations to fulfil to their families.

Imagine, you have this promise that you must commit but you instead relied on something that is absolutely risky to answer for such promise and obligation. This is also the reason on why gamblers should not have any kind of moral and financial responsibility if they want to gamble in the first place. If you cannot provide food on the table to your families since you rely on gambling as your funds, then might as well quit and assume responsibility on it.

I think you are somehow missing the point that OP said.

His friend promised them something in which the promise was contingent on him winning on his bets and gamble. Imagine if this were a different scenario- you have kids and you have a natural obligation to provide them with their basic needs. But in order to provide them with these, your funds must come from winning a gambling game which is VERY outrageous to begin with.

[ethereumhunter]

The lesson from the story is don't promise which you can't gives because that can makes you in trouble. You can say that you will buy foods for your friends after you wins in gambling games but no one can guarantee you can wins in gambling. When you lose and your friends asks you to buy them foods, you will confuse how you can buy that foods. Your friends will disappointed because you can't keep your promise and they will be sad. The worst of that story is his friends can leave him alone and will not trust him anymore because he can keep his promise. 

We must not to be like that, especially with our best friends because they are our closest friend. It's different if they are not our closest friends but we can't still do that to other people.

It was actually from a game he booked against the weekend that had him that morale to had projected this weekend hangout amongst us and it was not that he had secured the money to be assured.

This is not strange to me. In fact I know of a story where the hopeful gambler took his friends to a drinking joint to merry and watch the last game to his bet, the game that he perceived as sure bet but alas! the game didn't favour him while the cash out that he was encouraged by his friends to pick up had disappeared. Thus he was painfully left with the bill of close to $22 to pay, if not for his understanding friends that rally round to contribute and support him to clear the bill. So such happens when you have high hope and confidence in your bet. It shows no prediction is perfect because as far as football is concern, it is FT whistle that determines the outcome of the match.

As a matter of fact, he was nowhere to be found all through the weekend and could not even take his calls because he felt messed up of himself for the false promises.

You guys are quite lucky he didn't take you people to the hangout already while waiting for the cash out, otherwise you guys would have paid with your own money or washed the dishes there

Every gambler are optimistic until they lose everything, Lol. And that's what happen here, he think that he can win and so he take that big risk to gamble that money because he is "very positive" that he turn it around for the better. Seen this before though, even I had this kind of encounter, saying that I will meet with my family and celebrate holidays and unfortunately I have like $600 that time and I say that I will help and cover some expense.

But at night I go to a landbase casinos and lose everything and I had to this "disappearing" act and I felt guilty about it when I look back. Fortunately for me, I have learn that hard lessons and moving forward I don't do that kind of s**t things.

This is really unwise to even think of, already spending the inbuilt profits when the physical one hasn't come,I use to describe such experience like saying the spirit of the money has gone whereas the money hasn't come.
It's really ridiculous,what then will become of him if eventually the game didn't play as expected,he really has so much fate in this game I can see that but he should have waited for the big win before ever having the hangouts.

A friend of mine too fall into such like to him he would cash out $1000  and we know how huge this is but then the money hasn't come but he took his guys out to chill hoping to pay the next day once the money drops but hullaala it shocked him.And he had find his way out to clear the mess.

He was expecting a win but failed. I would understand that he didn't have the money but he shouldn't really making promises like that. He probably wants to impress friends, the problem is that the money isn't in his hands yet.

Can't say this is a gambling problem but him promising things like that. We all have friends that you really can't rely on, a friend who says he wants to do this and that but does something else. Unless a friend is reliable and promises something and disappoints me, that would need an explanation. But if he isn't the reliable one, I would not expect it. Could it be that OP expected too much from this friend?

Projection is powerful it helps you to be motivated, its disadvantage is the likelihood of getting disappointed, you can project on other interests or areas like tasks in your work or studies, projecting that you already passed the exam and working in a top company will motivate you to work hard to attain these.

But its different when it comes to gambling because however you project your plan, your chances is still 50/50 so better get used to accepting whatever outcomes when it comes to gambling, imagination is powerful but acceptance will relieve you of any stress in gambling.

[Samlucky O]

It is not advisable to put hope on Gambling outcome. I can not put my hope in gambling expecting to use the money I will win to take my guys on a hangout, because gambling game is a game of luck which may or may not play. Instead I will have set aside some fund for the weekend. If I win the game I stake at the end of the week, it is an additional amount to replace the spent one, but if It doesn't then I forget About it.

In conclusion this story entails or emphasis on Puting false hope In Gambling which is not a god one, because some people may owe a big dept hoping for a game yet to play, and if the game disappoint them, they become emotionally devastated and may end up having issues of dept. So let be careful in Puting false hope on gambling.
