How has big wins and jackpot stories affected your gambling habit?

[Gozie51]

I have come to notice that gambling stories play a great role in determining if a gambler will reduce his gambling, go more aggressive in terms of the amount used in gambling or even quite gambling momentarily.

That kind of scenario happens temporarily but not permanent, it is just at the time you see or heard that a gambler lost huge amount of money then you have that nostalgic feeling to slow down on your bankroll because you don't want to experience that too but after awhile in the game, that fear goes off and you continue your normal bankroll staking. It is just like when a driver on a high way comes in contact with accident car, he is likely to slow down, feel bad for some time because he would as a human reflect on it assuming he was the one on the accident scene and then sooner than later, he would continue on his speed pace. Therefore,it is like gambling too. When you see a gambler who lost huge you may not want to take the amount of risk he took at the point but later your appetite for risk will increase again. So there is always the fear factor.

we know that apart from the fun that some gamblers enjoy while gambling, the majority of others gamble basically because they want to make money from gambling, and in doing this, I have come to notice that gambling stories play a great role in determining if a gambler will reduce his gambling, go more aggressive in terms of the amount used in gambling or even quite gambling momentarily.

I've read and watched stories of people who hit a big jackpot and from a first-person point of view, the first thing that comes to mind is that " I wish I was the lucky person" and the effect of such an experience has always been to keep trying with the hope that I might get lucky to win my jackpot.

Different individuals go into gambling with different ideas, there are those who see it as a form of entertainment and there are still people who gamble for the profits and I think the number of those who gamble to make profits are more than those who see gambling for fun and entertainment cause the number of poor people are much greater than those who are wealthy and we all know how lack of money could lead someone into different ideas of getting it.

 Most of these poor people go into gambling cause of the big wins and jackpot stories when they hear that a close friend made a huge profits from it, they'll want to try and see if they'll be able to benefit as well, but I think it's wrong when someone go into something they don't have good knowledge about cause of greed gambling is a game of luck so it shouldn't be rushed into without a proper understanding.

Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?

 

Hearing the stories of other gamblers is very interesting but come to think about it, some people that doesn't know how to gamble and how to select a specific games joined gambling because they heard of other gamblers interesting stories.
Months back me a neighbor was discussing about gamble and another male neighbor came in to discussion and he was telling us how he was winning hug money from his bets and the whole stories he told us was fine and the other person including me told him to teach us and he refused. This way I was quite handling the internets so well then I just open an online betting account but since I don't k ow were to start from I abandon it. I am saying this because there are people today that they are into gambling because of the successful stories they heard from another gambler. And most of these gamblers are addicted.

Every time I come across stories from various threads showcasing their gambling experience where they hit a big jackpot, I have this hidden pressure where it somehow compels me to try it out and to test my luck. Additionally, whenever I see people wagering huge amounts of money, there is also this feeling of conflict- I think that instead of wagering that amount of money, they could have invested in into other things that can give them a long-term strategic advantage over the others.

There was a time where I was watching some gambling ads and I came across this YouTuber promoting this specific gambling website. He was livestreaming his games and he also admitted that the funds that he received from that gambling website was "sponsored" to him for use.

Of course, he won and tripled his money at the end. It got me thinking whether I should try it out and to personally see it for myself. Long story short, I tried it out and lost $50 that night.

To conclude, it really depends on how you view it. Some people may find it inspiring while others may feel conflicted and scared of risking that amount of money for a potentially life-changing jackpot.

Nope.

I am not reliant to someone's winning story to increase my betting habits. If I want to adjust, I'll do it with my will and not because I've seen someone won big.

It is inspiring to see other gamblers win and I am happy for them but it won't affect my gambling habit because I want to remain in control and to know what I do.

[darkangel11]

They don't affect me at all. Yes, I do feel envy, but that's it. I'd like to feel that adrenaline rush players feel when they face big win and can't believe their eyes. We all crave that, but I can live without it.
I don't start playing in the casino where someone won big and I don't try to play the same games with similar betting strategies. This is one of the biggest traps when you want to achieve something and you try to mimic some random guy that just got lucky. The truth is, you're not going to start your own company and become the second Microsoft or Google and you're not going to win big if you go play his game because you feel like the game is lucky today or something.

Nope, never. I've had a few friends who have hit it by a bit, not a life-changing amount but enough to splurge for a couple of days to a week with no problem. That has never encouraged me to try to achieve it though lol, kind of ignores the purpose of having fun by playing it since you're now playing it to earn money, which is a trap zone that's pretty hard to escape from if you fall in it. Nonetheless I have felt jealousy over it, I just never let it go over my head.

As for jackpot stories, I'd have to hit one first before telling one

I could really tell the behavior i do have when it comes to gambling or towards it:

1. Doesnt really make myself that reflecting someones winning condition into mine. Why? You would really be just that finding yourself that become too desperate and this is bad on gambling.
2. Play for fun and not for money because once you do have that kind of mindset on which you do really believe that gambling could make you rich then you would really be having that huge mistake.
3. Dont try to reflect others luck factor into you on which we do know that this is something that will really be that different on each other.
4. Dont chase loses- This is something the most common when you are trying to achieve something
5. Big wins doesnt mean that those people arent experiencing big loses too. You dont even know if they are really just that having that breakeven.
6. Play games without stressing yourself on achieving this and achieving that.

Jackpot stories is really something that could really put you into a mind state that what if you have won that big amount? For sure you would really be buying all the things that you had wished for on your entire life
which i do consider this to be normal since we are just humans and we do have those kind of wishes on which it cant be avoided.

Though, sometimes we get motivated by hear so many stories of how others won huge amounts from gambling it still shouldn't be a drive to bet more than what you used to. Yes you might be lucky enough to hit a jackpot but what happens when you loss so much money at that time out of greed or other peoples stories. I don't think I see this as a reason for me to increase the amount I use in gambling but I might be tempted to gamble even more than I used to, when I see someone very close to me that have won a jackpot.  You can as well, try to learn from them on how they managed to pull it off but remember that gambling is about luck and they might have been lucky at that point in time.

[...]Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?

I would be lying if I say it never did but I already came to a point where I can control how much I should bet on a game or a match. Of course I still wish to hit the jackpot every spin but I'm not desperate to increase each bet.

I often hear stories like this in lotteries. They buy more tickets when they know the jackpot was won.

[Ojima-ojo]

Jackpot is one of the reason why most gamblers are into gambling in this current time, because from all that is happening, the hope of winning a life changing prize from your games session is what build the motivations in most of us, but although this kind of mindset can also have a significant bad effect on the gambler himself if his expectations never comes to past.


So for that, it is better to only gamble with the mindset that you may likely never going to hit a jackpot and taking the time to just cashing fun regardless of what the outcome of your bets may result to.

Many people want to get the Jackpot, but we have to realize that our chances of getting the Jackpot are very small and we even have to sacrifice a lot of money to get the Jackpot. When someone has a mindset like that, we have to keep our distance and remind him as much as possible not to spend too much money in gambling places. Make him remember how much capital he has spent and how much profit he has made? Also ask what the real results are from the gambling you have done so far. In this way, a glance can touch his heart and mind to make him think again.

[AnonBitCoiner]

People if they win the jackpot then they should use their mind in order to be more successful in future because if they use this jackpot again in gambling then they will come to previous status again. Most of the people when they see that his fellows have won the jackpot in gambling then they also want to start gambling but in gambling everyone cannot win as it is the luck which makes you either a profitable or loser.

I am not affected by others through the winning of the jackpot because maybe they are lucky in gambling that's why they are winning but I don't want to put myself at risk. A person should have his own concept and thoughts so he will not be affected by the money of others and should trust your own work as slowly but surely it gives you a better income.

In short don't expect that what happens to others will also happen to you, especially in gambling ang hitting a big jackpot because it will only give you a false hope and that's right that might be the cause of your misery, at first I play gambling because I get inspired to those gamblers that is winning a huge amount of money and hitting a big jackpot, that's why I get curious and try playing gambling in hope experiencing what I saw, but reality hits, I hope and failed and I learn the lesson in a hard way, that's why at early stage of me playing gambling I learn not to hope and expect anything in gambling because not all people will have the same luck as the others, mind your own business and luck in short, if you win then good for you but if you see someone winning, don't let that affet your gambling activity, gamble at your own phase and your own routine.

When I was new to gambling, I was like others who were inspired by the achievements of other gamblers, especially when I heard of someone winning a large sum of money.At that time, because I didn't know the struggles of those people how or how much they gambled for a long time before getting that jackpot price, There are times when I envy them so what happens is that I imitate their playing technique, it almost reached the point that I would give up a large amount just to win because that's what people usually do winning at gambling, but when it lasted, I realized that it shouldn't be like that because no matter how much we bet, if the opportunity to win is not for us, we won't really get it.

[pinggoki]

It didn't affect me really, I mean that's on them, they're a lucky person to win that much money and I know for a fact that I'm not going to be able to win that because gambling is a really risky and heavily favors only the people that are on the other side that's facilitating the gambling, even if you try and lie to yourself, it will always be the same, the odds won't change no matter and that's why it didn't my gambling habit in any way, I guess the mentality that gambling is only for entertainment has taken a root in me that I don't care about winning anymore aand that I should just let things be.

[TopTort777]

Imho those big wins and jackpot stories suppose to work as a motivators, like stories of success (bought an apple for 1 cent, sold for 2 cents, now I am a multibillionaire). But for me they work opposite. They never encourage me to gamble more, they never worked like "with enough effort you can achieve everything". I see them as lost opportunity. I was gambling to win, but now, as guy has won jackpot, the maximum I can get are several thousands. That is how I see them. If this is an offline casino and I would hear that someone just has won big, I would leave it. This is the case when "lighting does not hit same tree twice"

I don't think jackpot stories can influence one's gambling habits/routines. It's nice to hear a story about a big win or watch a video about it. There are a lot of games and I believe that anyone who likes a game likes to watch or hear a story about a big win in that game. I like to watch these things and I believe it influences me to want to play that game the next time I gamble. I believe that is the case with most people, when we see something interesting to us, we want to try it.

Playing with higher stakes brings more excitement, that's why we like to increase the stakes sometimes. When we watch someone playing big we wish to play big as well, but we need to know our limits and our "max bet" limit.

because gambling is where we can generate more money from small capital in short time but the problem is
about the risk and the consequences.

but this does not affect me because never that i Won jackpot or huge so maybe i have nothing to contribute from this part of thread.

In my case, I don't let myself be affected by the news about people who have won a lot of money in gambling, I understand perfectly well that the cases of people who have won a lot of money in gambling are rare cases, it's not something I look at and I say that if I play a lot maybe one day I can win a lot too. I would be fooling myself if I thought that way. as I only focus on sports betting because I believe it suits me, I have seen some people in my country and even on the internet posting photos of multibet bets in which they won a lot of money, I don't know if they are fake photos in the case of the photos of internet, but in the case of the big victories of people in my country, it is something true

but even so, I don't copy and I don't follow the same path as bettors from my country, for example for bettors from my country, they keep placing bets with odds above 50x, they are multibet bets with more than 20 games, I don't I see this being something that a person can win frequently, which is why I prefer to place my bets with odds of 10x maximum in which there are up to 7 games at most in the multibet.

Now it is undeniable that most people who place sports bets when they hear incredible stories like this:

Texas furniture kingpin Jim McIngvale—better known as “Mattress Mack”—won $75 million on Saturday after his bet that the Houston Astros would win the World Series paid off, taking home what is believed to be the largest payout in legal sports betting history.

tend to be more motivated to place multibet bets with higher odds to also win a lot of money with a small money bet
