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

[Miles2006]

This is actually funny and disappointing, why will anyone want to hope on something they've not seen or something difficult like gambling, there's a difference between mere joke and faith like I believe your friend had so much faith to some extend he had to promise for celebration, this is strange.
I believe most gamblers who sold out their properties for gambling had same faith as this, let's be realistic there's nothing like 100% accuracy or full confidence when placing a bet but people don't want to listen

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.

of course gamblers do have this thought but I can't express full confidence to such extend, gamblers really need to change this thought cause gambling can't be predicted fully so what will happen next if we never get to win the game we had high hopes on. Winning is fun and exciting especially gamble wins that come unexpected but it should not be taken for granted as we should maintain self control

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.

The only time I have seen something like this is only in skits, I haven’t seen anyone who called his/her friend and told them he would handle their bills for an outing just because they have a game that they are sure they’ll win (there might be some who would actually do something similar but it can’t be me). It is known that no game is 100% sure, even some with 80% chance of winning still end up being wrong because of a small mistake.


You should talk to your friend not to make similar mistake in the future cos if he should keep doing something like that he might end up putting himself in trouble.

Gambling is an unpredictable terrain, hence it is cardinal not to depend on it for any expenses. Some persons do stupid things like taking loans and plan to pay with profit from gambling. I have not replied on gambling wins to fund any expenses because I have always known that gambling is not a source of income. Those people who see gambling as a source of income always end up disappointed.

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.

I don't think any gambling platform offers credit services to customers. Gambling is a risky activity therefore any gambling platform that gives credit facilitates will go bankrupt. Most of the physical casinos I have visited are always right boldly inside the casino that credit betting is forbidden, so you cannot gamble without paying. However, I think OP was talking about his friend who promised to foot their bills during the weekend, meanwhile, his hope to get funds is at his stake. But he lost the bet and failed to show up for the outings.

[Yatsan]

Well yes and I'm sure some gamblers here are betting because they want to earn money to buy something, and that's the same thing. Is it bad? Sort of, especially if that desire pushes you to bet bigger amount despite of losing. I had an experience before wherein I want to buy something worth $500. Although I have the money that time, I chose to gamble half of it and end up losing. Foolish right? But the idea I had there, was to buy something and still have an amount to be left in my pocket that day. However, the decision isn't practical. This may sound funny to some but I believe other related instances were done by the others too, which is the negative side of projecting the profit. It could make you greedy of winning. Expecting to win is not a bad thing but if you'd be overwhelm by your emotion because of that, then that's a must to avoid.

It is known that no game is 100% sure, even some with 80% chance of winning still end up being wrong because of a small mistake.

I also have not seen anyone done something like this before. If my friend said he will take care of the bill, he will. If I tell my friends that they should not worry that we should go out and have some entertaining moment, I will not disappoint them. This is because I have the money I will spend there on my bank account. If the money is not much, I would have told them to know what they will buy. I do not see OP telling the truth but there is nothing impossible on earth.

[Webetcoins]

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.

Of course because even if we badly do, how can we do it when there is no physical cash yet in our hands? It's because it's already deposited in the casino and we are currently planning if what games we will choose and play. If it's not deposited yet, the money can still be smaller than to what we are planning to achieved.

Planning in advance is still beneficial because we might end up spending the money on something that we don't genuinely like and we will only regret it later on. It only depends on the plan though. The ones that is story tell in the OP is an example of plans that we must not do. We also need to know and accept that shit happens.

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.

Been there and done that but the promises I made was to myself and not to anyone, it's ridiculous to for any gambler to try to sell a bird that is yet to capture, that's like giving yourself a false hope that will not end well, what you should do in a situation like that if you have a potential ticket that you know is coming home but probably has two or more games remaining, it's better to cashout half and leave the half if you need that money badly, don't rely on such games when you need the money to sort out somethings.

Another thing is that, such type of games should remain within you, making it public wouldn't help the situation either. I know of high stakes bookies that stake huge amount of money, when they have such type of games with 2 games left and a very big amount of money, they don't bother to post it online because there are situations that if you are a big gambler and gamble millions, there is probability that your game might be manipulated and your tickets will lose, I have seen many of them in local leagues. Not a good idea to even be telling people that you are expecting such a big amount of money in the first place for safety.

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???

From what I understand with the story, I conclude that THE PROBLEM IS YOU AND NOT YOUR FRIEND.

You called that as worst and ridiculous moment of yours just because your friend didn't end up covering the supposed weekend hangout?

The nerve. If you have a weekend hangout then, of course, bring some money as well. Why end up being called that worst just because he didn't fulfill his promise? If your friend isn't able to show up then still, invite him to come along and share the bills instead to boost his confidence and overcome his embarrassment about what he did.

That’s funny to me, gambling doesn’t works like that, you might be confident that you are going to win a particular game, but at the end things might not really go as planned, you shouldn’t have plan for any amount you haven’t won in gambling. Gambling is luck, and you might be really sure that what you predicted will be right, but mistake might happen and things will go against you. I think some people who do take loan to gamble, or sell properties to gamble are always confident about their bet, but at the end things don’t go the way they plan.

[Nwada001]

Funny how most people still have not learned from gambling lessons; they still feel like they are in control of the game, and as such, they just want every game to play the way they predict it to, which is one of the worst expectations for anyone to have and put their hope on.
 
It’s obvious that your friend overrated himself with his too much confidence in the game, which ended the other way around. The only luck that he had was that he had not even preordered anything, hoping to pay once he cash out of the game, because that could have been a total different case here.

Don't underestimate our expectations and that of the system because it comes with different patterns. Profits ought to be generated based on the strategies we've successfully mapped. The projected plans we have successfully mapped out always turn to either our favour or against us. Gambling always go through essential paths and contrary to our actions. It's been noticed how we operates and I must say, it's never one of the challenges to talk about because it's been in existence for lengthy years.

It is stupid from someone to tell friends something he will be doing for them while he is not sure if he can provide it or not.However as a gambler I understand him,I always project myself to what I will spend the money if I hit a big win from the session that I am going to play and that is the main motivator for a gambler,you cannot start a real gambling session if you don't see yourself in some fancy outcome from that session so based on this context I don't blame him that much,it happens that just you make yourself look ridiculous in front of your friends if you cannot achieve what you tell them that you want to achieve.So it is better to keep it to yourself,you start a session to have fun and project yourself as a winner out of that session,however to go telling people that you got something assured as nothing is sure in life.

We can't argue for sure if the OP story is a real event or formulate but from what I have seen about gamblers and how they all behave it is possible this could be true.

I can recall my early days when I started gamble making parley bets, in the course of the early events playing according to my predictions and remaining late events like 1 or 2 games left to play, at that point I just start having imaginations in my head  on how I will spend the money. Unfortunately, at the end the ticket get spoilt by the last game and I just feel disappointed and unhappy thinking of how I have planned on expending that money.

But as I kept on gambling over the years my perspective changed about unfinished parley bets, I don't have to think of the money as my money to be spend until the finally results. So I just believe that anything is possible in gambling going by gamblers diverse behaviors.

I've heard words like these from my gambling friends many times already, but we did not take it seriously as we all know that nothing is guaranteed in gambling, but only the confidence of his game and odds analysis that was pushing him to tell stories like these.
You guys should not take those words seriously, especially with gambling when no results are guaranteed. That friend of yours should've somehow showed up despite of the disappointing result. Well, I don't know what kind of circle you guys are, but if that friend is an arrogant type, then he must have been so embarrassed of his overwhelming confidence.
I really don't believe someone can get a 100% guaranteed results with the bets we make even if it's carefully analyzed, after all it's being called predictions because it is not guaranteed even if there are basis.

Like I said before, I personally haven’t seen anyone do it but that doesn’t mean someone out there is not doing it.

From the way you explained it using parlay I am a little convinced cos there are times when most our games have entered and we’re left with just few more to win a huge some during those periods we might felt that the money is already ours (and that’s what might have happened in the case of the Ops friend).

this is one of the bad practices of people when it comes to gambling, you lead what will happen right away because it can cause problems, if we are not sure of the outcome then we should not think about what to do or how much we will spend because we have not yet holding the money and the fact that you promised your friends right away, you must fulfill it because you told them that you will pay for your food outside and then suddenly you will not show up because you don't have money because you lost the gamble that you did. Lesson learned, let's not lead things. been there done that, the more we expect, the more the chances of having good things are taken away from us.

[dothebeats]

This is why you don't count your chickens before they hatch. It could lead to a lot of disappointments and frustrations, especially if you have already planned to do something on your winnings. It's not uncommon for people to visualize and allocate their winnings right even before they have it on their hands. I did this before and boy it was a bad experience for me, as I was already hoping that I could something the next day should I win the bet that I placed now.

Funny how most people still have not learned from gambling lessons; they still feel like they are in control of the game, and as such, they just want every game to play the way they predict it to, which is one of the worst expectations for anyone to have and put their hope on.

At the end of the day, the odds are always stacked against us in gambling, no matter the type of game we are playing. Gambling is created as a form of entertainment to those who can afford it, and to make money to those who run it.
 

It’s obvious that your friend overrated himself with his too much confidence in the game, which ended the other way around. The only luck that he had was that he had not even preordered anything, hoping to pay once he cash out of the game, because that could have been a total different case here.

If I were that friend and I had pre-ordered anything, I'd definitely go into hiding and disconnect all my numbers and socials for at least two weeks after the expected delivery! It's embarrassing to pre-order something you don't have the money to pay for, especially in front of your friends for the sake of bravado

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I only laugh out loud after reading the title of this topic because when I first started gambling, I exhibited such an attitude of always being affirmative that the game I have staked in will be successful, and I will even start making plans for how I will spend the money while the game is yet to start. It was crazy how, in such a situation, one will be raking his or her brains on how to spend the profit while at the same time losing their mind in suspense about how the game will actually end. 

Don't blame your friend so much if he is actually a new gambler, because I noticed that some new gamblers can actually have those kinds of thoughts running through their heads when they have just started gambling. Such experiences are mostly encountered when the person is staking on sports games that are yet to kick off, or probably someone who just believes that gambling is just something they can do at the casino on their first day and return home with plenty of money.

If I tell my friends that they should not worry that we should go out and have some entertaining moment, I will not disappoint them. This is because I have the money I will spend there on my bank account.

The least the friend could have done was to own up to what happened and not disappoint them.

Life does not always happen as we have planned, and neither does sports betting or gambling. Also we shouldn't be in a hurry to make a pledge at the spur of the moment because we think our decisions are right. These are games of chance where the outcome is random and revolves around not one factor but many.

Yes, were are saying the same thing, it is definitely with parlays that this circumstances do arise with, as when gamblers will be having a few more games left to play after some other might have played and just remaining either a single game or two and they gambler would feel like there's nothing stopping this single game from play in as much as others before it has played.  But there's no sure prediction in gambling and more often than not, gamblers have experienced disappointment under such circumstance. Gambling money is never ours not until the last game has played accordingly as predicted, and this is something we all gamblers should lo accept so we don't end up making unfulfilled promises like in the Op.
