Are you already happy if you can double your money, or do you want more?

[Rockstarguy]

Actually, I always expect big profits with a 100% return unfortunately to get a nominal profit of that size is very difficult for me 50% is enough the most important thing is I do not experience a loss of up to 100% in an example for example I deposit 50$ if I can double it to 80$ I stop at that time because it has exceeded half of my capital if I continue sometimes it even goes back to 50$ meaning I don't get any profit if I want more.
Honestly regarding target profit I do not really determine victory because luck in gambling does not always match expectations.

Some gamblers may not know but having a low amount as gambling return a big win, though we may have huge amount as gambling return but this is always difficult because it is not easy to just hit the exact return one wish in gambling. Appreciating every little win will even help one from losing so much in gambling because when one feels the return is too small it can make one to decide to continue playing which can end up losing everything. It is better to have a low return as gambling reward and appreciate it than not having anything .one of the reason why people lose more in gambling is because they always want to double up their win which may not up end well. The outcome of gambling can't be predicted.

I am interested to know your personal perspective and experience as well. I understand that as gamblers, we have different financial statuses in life. Some gamble for fun, while others are very serious about it. Can you relate to the question and answer it? How realistic is your target profit when gambling? Are you already happy with a 100% return, or do you want a 1000% return? Please use figures in your explanation so we can understand it better.

To double my money in gambling like sports betting require that I play 2 odds. This is too small for low income guys that want to win something big to be able to change their financial status. Furthermore, it is not a sustainable approach to gambling because of the risk in gambling which  can see someone losing all his money in a single day of bad luck. I think anywhere close to 4 odds should be the minimum target so in a case of one losing, a single win will cover so many losses to keep the gambler in business even though losses will be tolerated.

One thing I know about gambling is that the greater your risk, the greater your profit, but if you will put a small amount of money into gambling and think to get a 1000% return, then the amount of the month at which you will lose will not be explained before you will be able to achieve what you really want, but if it is for 100%, it is understandable and you will be happy, so let go back to the questions to me. All I have in gambling is faith, and I know no matter how my profit is small, I always appreciate and get happy. I don’t always overemphasise having that biggest profit, but if I have a chance to get such bigger profits, I will also be happy. But the main thing is that whatever you have, fit into it and be happy. 

However, this does not mean that we put extra money in gambling thinking that we will get more returns, as this is not how we will succeed in gambling. Rather the more money you put in gambling, you will have more chances to lose.
A better approach will be to implement a proper money management plan so that you won't risk extra in every game and yet you will remain in good overall profits.

Risk management would really be the key but this is something that would really be off or not relevant if you are really that intending those amounts that you had put up would really be solely be used on playing gambling on which you are already that expecting that you would really be losing and prepared that you will really be that busting them all and play as much as you could as long you do have the funds into your account no matter what condition you would be having neither doubling your bankroll or even more. On the time that you do have those kind of aims and goals about on playing gambling then you wouldnt really be minding about on how you would be making out big your capital as long you do play then this would really be your main priority. Each person would really be having their own approach on things on where majority will really be aiming for something more because x2 of your bankroll or capital is really just that too small to consider. Gamblers do know that
they could do something more and this what makes them desperate.

This is true, risk management is always important in anything even especially gambling that's why it is important to gamble on what can afford to lose while though staking big makes return high example like after careful analysis and winning a 2 odd, gambling with $10 = $20 returns while $100 will return $200 but this doesn't mean if you can't afford to lose $100 then you will also be move to gamble base on the return, if things doesn't work as your expectation then you be in the loss and then faces financial challenges and with time in same path bankruptcy.

I often just want to win though I'm tempted of making more profits which makes me gamble more even after winning like 2 to 3 times especially crash games though this is bad and I'm currently putting this in check now, will be content with anything less risky and sure at least to be in a better chance of winning though I'm not tempted to gamble with more than I can afford to lose.

Winning 2 to 3 times is more luck, but I wonder how many times you have lost out of those 3 wins.
Because the losses will be more usually and if you don't stop immediately to take the winning result, it will just disappear in the game.

The chances of winning will always be there, but the presentation won't always happen.
You should also be aware that losing is also quite painful, even if you have already set up the funds you are using that you can afford to lose.

[inthelongrun]

As a regular bettor, I still continue to bet even if my money is doubled already. I am into sports betting though which is not the same with casino games where you need to have strict budgeting and controlling emotions in order to minimize losses or bring home some winnings.

As a huge sports fan of the NBA, boxing, UFC, etc., I'll be very glad if the balance of my account gets doubled. I'll probably withdraw some part of it and enjoy the winnings. I like watching sports with some bets on them and I've been doing this for many years already.

You've just said my mind, I'm a sports bettor as well but I prefer football ( soccer) as known by others and even when I make profits from sports betting I still feel motivated to bet on my favourite team or against some rival teams just for the fun of it, but I'm very careful not be wasting money all in the name of having fun or betting against rival teams but then I love the fact that you talked about taking profits after you win, it's very important and most bettors do make the mistake of going all in with their profits to make more money, well most times they get lucky but it's not advisable, atleast take a huge part of the profits and continue with the remaining and by then whether the bettor loses when they continue, they won't lose out completely, I believe that in everything we do, we should learn to apply wisdom not making silly mistakes cause we want to take risk, keep it up mate.

A wise choice when you start withdrawing your profits and the capital you use.
It's not just about winnings, but about how you enjoy those wins without feeling overwhelmed by the bets that will be made.

The bet will still run with the remaining money that is only used to bet, and it will double when you win the bet again.

However, there are people who aggressively place bets with all their money and hope to win in one spin,
it is very ridiculous and chooses a path that is quite risky.

This pattern of staking is too risky and can make you gamble more if you don't take time,  when you lose all your money or don't gain something substantial from your first try, you can go in all out again and lose continually.

One bad thing with gambling is that patterns are addictive, if you're constantly gambling with this pattern, you might well be addicted to it and it's very detrimental using such gambling force and entering a losing streak. It's easier to break your principles and gamble more in this scenario.

I prefer gambling gradually, slow and steady, one stake at a time, observing the outcomes and adjusting where necessary until I'm done for the day. That's a real experience for me.

This is interesting, there are many cases that happen around me like that, they are too busy gambling which results in dependence until the person becomes an addict. I don't know for sure what the reason behind it all is, but from what I have observed they are too chasing victory without realizing that the losses they receive are too much. If compared, it might be the same as an alcoholic. because both have addictive properties, and will be difficult to cure

back to the topic, I prefer to gamble like that prioritizing adjustment where control within ourselves is always maintained, not lulled by big wins, and of course when victory comes I will immediately cash it out to be used for something more positive, being not greedy is important

Money management. A budget. A number that we can lose but we will still be sane.

Sports gambling or casino games, it will matter. Yes, some say the greater the risk, the greater the profit but let's face it, it will be too long before that profit comes and we as gamblers can be easily frustrated if we are not getting anything after playing for so long. I can tell because I always feel that in slot games.
Like Plinko in 16 lines at high difficulty with an x1000 multiplier. I played that long ago with a 40 thousand bets in my status and yet it didn't even hit it once. High-risk, no profit.
In sports, the lower the odds you take the better chance to win but because many gamblers want to increase their multiplier, they take the parlay and sometimes that is how we are defeated. Are we really going to take an odd of x1.01 - x1.20? I doubt that. For gamblers who have less money, this is not a good option so they take the fastest route to profit which is a parlay.

Withdrawing the money you win is a very good habit to get into. I also try to always secure my winnings with a withdrawal. Only this allows me to get the maximum pleasure from the gambling session, because it makes me realize that I was not only able to win not from the best position, but also to overcome my greed. In my opinion, the best victory is a victory over yourself.

When the game hadn't started I had a winning target, 200% to 500% was my realistic target, but what I planned and what happened after were contradictory. I once made a fixed deposit on Rollbit, it was around $20 just to immediately buy features on Gates of Olympus. Because I made a small deposit, I thought this would be a short game, but in reality it wasn't, I managed to get the max win on buying that feature.

Wouldn't that already be 5000% of my bankroll? sure, and what's next? do I stop and not continue the game? no, I continued until I lost almost half of my winnings. I just want to say that whatever your plans are, if you can't control and regulate your psyche, then all your plans will be destroyed.

This case tells you that you need to learn to stop in time, regardless of your expectations. Many of us have excessive expectations about possible winnings in gambling, but as a rule expectations turn out to be unjustified. Play gambling for fun and do not encourage yourself with any inflated expectations, because in gambling a lot depends on chance.

Gambling is a give and take whatever you give whatever you receive in return except that person is wanting to make a life changing bet where he would use a smaller amount to make what he didn't expect ,but however it is another way of making much lost in gambling because winning could be too hard for such person.

So I agreed with you that when gambling gamble within your limit like what they can be able to lose or risk if there are much lost then the person gambling wouldn't feel it much, alternatively if that person gambles for entertainment to ease oneself from anger or boredomness such person may not feel the amount being spent in gambling as much as there are no much value attached to the amount raised in gambling then they would gamble within their limits.

I learned a lot from my experiences, and what I said above isn't my first experience, this has become a kind of cycle in gambling, if you're not someone who is too deep into gambling, you will not be able to understand what I mean. The image of the plan can be destroyed instantly, depending on whether we're unlucky, quite lucky or too lucky, because sometimes if you're given too much luck, you don't value your bankroll.

You are absolutely right bud, and let me say that this is actually a great advice.
The need for money have made so many people lose what the touch of reality and can no longer accurately diffrenciate between what is or can be real and what's not.

It's like a thread I saw on this board yesterday where the op talked about how some gamblers allow the potential win amount on their betting tickets to carry them away, this causes them to keep chasing what may never materialize to become reality except they are extremely lucky.

My number one rule in gambling is to make sure I am gambling for the fun part of it, and not taking it as a major source of income.

[Lidger]

I don't like to gamble with excessive expectations, I try to be satisfied with the outcome when gambling. If there is too much greed I know I will lose money so I always prefer to gamble with a certain plan to be responsible. I gamble with $100 and I have to convert this $100 into $200 at any price and I gamble with the mindset that I will not stop until I convert it to $200 and I will lose another $300 for this $200. If gambling can be done in such a way that I lose a small amount of money by gambling but my profit is also small, then I think this strategy is better than losing a lot of money in the hope of extra profit. The way I bet my profit might be lower but there my money is not at the high end of the risk limit. Every gambler must first ensure maximum safety of money then think about profit because first capital then profit

Everyone has different targets when it comes to gambling, some people are satisfied when they double their money while others prefer to triple or even go beyond that it's all about preference. But greed should be avoided at all cost because it might ruin your hardwork
Talking about what you said in this context a hundred percent return to me isn't a bad idea, atimes I prefer to even aim below getting a hundred percent, those into sports betting can relate. Sometimes i just chase 1.50 odds with a tangible amount and I'm okay, Take note: I'm not saying it's hundred percent safe but it's less riskier

If you find the right sport to bet on plus the knowledge that you understand about the game then aiming for such amount gives you decent amount of profits, just like what you said, there are differences in terms of gamblers position about doubling or might be aiming for more, just be very careful as we all know that greed will always be behind you trying to push for more, being wise will keep you away from such kind of being careless, instead it will allow you to make something decent when you make that hard stop and quit away with the winning amount that you gain from your gambling session.
