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

[irhact]

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.

Every individual that gambles must at some point encounter such though because it's either you loose or win and since one is aware that they've got chances of winning then it's normal to make plans of what to do with the profits incase you win. There's no law against that but the only problem is making good use of the profits when you win. Some individuals instead of taking their profits to make better use of it would rather try to double the profits and end up losing everything.

 It's a good thing that you're not depending on gambling as a mature source of income, the fact that you make such statement means that you got a good paying job and you understand carefully that gambling should be done for fun or as a side hustle and not to be taken as a major source of earning a living. Individuals like you could barely get emotional when you lose a bet cause I believe you use your spare cash to gamble.

This scenerios remind me of something that happened sometimes ago with a friend, on that faithful day, he was bragging how he own and hold 21 million of our local currency in his possession, at first I was surprised how he can carry 21 millions in his pocket without showing at all or even carrying a bag to convey the money, but to my ultimos supprise when I enquire further he told me that he hold the money in a bet he staked and waiting for the outcome.
I became ferrous with him because he over play it when he can put so much hope on a game that is yet to be played, but then it shows the level of high s addictions and imagination outside whatever possibility that he may thinks possible for him to own or win that money.

If you have good plans for money before you get it, and then you win finally, you may become distracted from spending on unnecessary things that you forget all the good plans you had for the money you were expecting. Whenever there is a good plan for money before the money comes, write down the plans and then avoid people who you know can make you spend unwisely on unimportant things.
It is best not to make gambling the only source you expect money from to accomplish any plans that you have.

This what you called irresponsible, being too ahead of himself without securing the money first before boosting about anything, if I where him I will really become shameful of course and will not show up for sure, I have never done this kind of scenario to my family or friends because I also dont want to jinx anything, like I dont want to mention things that is about to happen until it happens because I know the saying that its better to stay quite until what you expected to happe, happens, so that man let his arrogant take over that's why he jinx his own prediction, anyway ai hope he learns his lesson and will not do that again because it can also affect your friendship, look how shameful your friend is, he didn't even show up and might take a while before he do so, in gambling there are no certainty so dont get ahead of it and just believe or rely on the end results.

You are just shaming yourself if you do this kind of act. Why compromise yourself for something you don't have yet? Definitely, you will get ashamed for what will happen if you failed your bet. I don't think you will have the face to meet up with your friends after such failure.

I don't think it is a smart move promising to your friends for something you have no idea what the results will be for your bet. You are just subjecting yourself to uneasy position.

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.

From what I understood from the whole story, the guy has not even won the game at all, but he was hoping to spend money on the game he played and was very sure the game would enter according to how he had predicted it.
 
He was very confident enough that he would win the game. Maybe this is due to all his games playing as predicted, and only a few were left for him to finally win the game, and due to that confidence, he promised his friends a hangout with the money.

[lienfaye]

When I was a newbie gambler I also did something similar by projecting what I will do to my winnings without even thinking that there's no assurance to win at all. As we know, it's a game of chance and luck is a major factor in order to win. The difference is, it's just in my mind and didn't promise anyone to have a false hope.

Well, it's a lesson learned that in gambling you should not be too hopeful to win and don't borrow money just to sustain this habit. It's funny how a person made a promise knowing that he is just relying on the result of his bet. He just humiliated himself for doing so.

[SatoPrincess]

I have seen this happen many times not just with gamblers but with other people too. It’s incredible how people can make plans off a promise of something that they have not yet had. Attitude like this makes the loss extremely difficult to handle because now not only did he lose money, he plans for the weekend got ruined and his pride has been hurt. There is no assurance in gambling, it’s a game of odds and you just have to accept that sometimes the odds are not going to be in your favor.

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.

This happens everywhere not only when people gamble, and the reason for this is that most people are not really equipped to deal with uncertainty, it is because of this that we get newbies looking for investment opportunities that give them huge profits and that cannot fail.

Investment opportunities that only exist on the minds of scammers, as anyone that wants to get huge profits must be willing to take the corresponding risk, so it is common for people to look for the sure thing and instead find the opposite and lose their money as a result of the fear they have towards uncertainty.

Who has never made plans hastily when they already knew they would earn extra money?
I myself always spend the extra money I earn a month later on my employer's end-of-year bonuses on my credit card.
However, I have never been so foolish as to make plans with something that was not guaranteed.

Probably, this person you mention was very confident in his bet and something very wrong must have happened hastily to ruin his plans.
In any case, I think the friends were much sadder than the bettor, after all they were counting on getting a free party, which didn't happen.

[Julien_Olynpic]

This is called “sharing the skin of an unkilled bear.” Well, or there is another proverb that instructs us not to utter shouts of joy until you jump over some obstacle. Indeed, this is very stupid. You've just prepared for the game and it's good if you've done a thorough analysis. It’s good if the odds for your possible victory are high and you have a large bet amount. More precisely, it is impossible to say unequivocally that this is not good. After all, one small nuance remains: the bet still needs to be won. Many people underestimate the probabilities of random events. But the truth is that no matter how right you think you are, there is always the possibility that somewhere you made a mistake. First, wait for the game results.

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.

Not at all... He actually had overconfidence in such a future game which he booked during the week against the weekend.
Unfortunately for him the play failed him and he has already fixed a weekend hangout amongst us as friends with the expectation that when the game had played, he would take care of the bills at our hangout.

So it was like he disappeared and disappointed all those promises all because he does not have the funds to cater for the hangout since the game has also disappointed him.

Where I'm from this is called "Counting chickens before they are hatched" and that is not good at all, in fact I know that many people must have a lot of confidence in themselves and well yes, it shows that this gives a great effect. . I am positive and as far as I am concerned things can be very different because it is good to have confidence, positivism and everything that can be done, but you also have to have your feet on the ground, in casinos you cannot trust everything. time on yourself that you are going to win, no, in casinos what you have to do is guarantee that what you are paying as money is exclusively what you have to spend and assume if you lose, but we can never count winnings that you do not have yet, because if the opposite happens the emotional blow is strong, then you have to have a little peace of mind and wait to play and obtain the results.

[rahmad2nd]

In my story, I interpreted what you said in this thread, if I win gambling, it means we hang out somewhere and I will pay the bill. yeah, we do it a lot like the title of this thread says. but I personally, never promise anything definite. whether it's friends or family. I never promise anything, because the problem is that what we are after is the winnings in the betting predictions that I made to fund the hangout that we are planning. usually I'll say, "if" I win the bet I bet on, we'll hang out and I'll pay the bill. in our place, this is something normal. however, not because we are very sure that we will win the betting ticket that we make. This is just a discourse, if we or I win a bet, especially one with a big reward, we often celebrate by hanging out at the weekend or when we win.

There are also things where things like this become a tradition of a certain place, country or region. For me it's normal, especially when I bet with a high bankroll. which means, if we win, we can use the funds like the story in this thread. but in your case, the problem is that your friend said he would be responsible for the bill for hanging out on the weekend. It's as if your friend promised and believed that he would definitely win. contrary to the story I told, I can do it "IF" we get a win. whatever type of gambling, especially in my story is football, it can be a single bet with a large bankroll.  or, bet multibet at very high odds. well, what I told you is almost the same as your experience. the difference is, we, I, or my friends, don't make definite promises and are responsible for making it happen. because, we are well aware that in any type of betting, everything is subject to possibility and is related to luck.

This people is just dreaming unrealistic thing that's how they get disappointed especially if the result is not as what they expected. That's also the reason we should not lead things in advance because the result would really be different and for sure that if we are not lucky then we will be disappointed then might come up with idea about try to catch up more and win which is dangerous action since in gambling if you are unlucky for sure this will occur whole day. So to avoid getting any problems on gambling activities having a conflict with other people its better to settle all those necessary things that need to pay attention and gamble only when everything is clear. Since if we are stress for sure this will give us negative result since negative feeling will brought up some bad energy and it result to bad luck.

We have all made mistakes as no one is really perfect, but at the same time there are some mistakes that are understandable and some others that are not, and to me this mistake falls into the latter category.

Since failing to fulfill your promises to your family or your friends is never a good thing, as the next time a person where to assure them he was going to pay the bill, there is no way they are going to trust in him when they have such an example fresh on their memories.

[danherbias07]

Yes, I sometimes do imagine where I would spend the money if I won the game and I have already successfully done that. I took my two kids somewhere they will have a lot of fun and they did after I won like a month ago with my highest multiplier ever in slots.
The wrong thing about what your friend did was he told you all that he would pay those bills for your hangout even if he had not won anything yet. That I don't do.
First, I will try to win the money and everything that I am projecting is all in my mind. The good part of doing this is the element of surprise. Even my wife will surprised when I suddenly tell them one weekend that we will go out somewhere to have fun and the most surprising thing is you are not even looking at the prices of anything they want, just buying it all for them.

[Poker Player]

Well, yes, but because poker gives me income on a regular basis. If you bet in a casino and plan what to do with the jackpot money, it is not a very serious planning because you don't know when you are going to win, and by the time you win you will surely have spent more money in that game than the one you win, so it would have been better for you to save it.

[Psynthax]

some people are just optimistic and thats fine I mean someone can have a dream despite the outcome might shown different result, I mean if you are a fan of arsenal for example, and you know full well that you put your money at stake for this club at a reason and you know very well based on your own judgement whether arsenal gonna comes out victorious or not, what do you think? wouldn't you project your winning later on because you're so sure.
there's most certainly no harm in being optimistic about the result of your judgement,on the other hand if its turning out to be a lose then a lose is unavoidable and what you can do is accept it anyway.
I always project my winning even before the game played, what kind of phones i'd get with the winning money, its just a small joy before the match thats not gonna do something bad to you.

its only become bad when your expectation is too high to the point where it just gets unhealthy that makes you think you can't afford to lose your money, only that case it will affect your mental heavily.

What he did was to inform his acquaintances that they should not trust him because he broke the promise he made to them. That's why there is a saying "don't speak without certainty" because a lot can happen if you lead it with promises. It's true that nobody's perfect, but we should also be aware of the words we say because like what happened to him, his image can be damaged by the people close to him.
