Gambling with a winning amount in mind

[LUCKMCFLY]

At least, I've had moments like that in the past and while it's true, greed will always be there. But the point is, a gambler will be able to have a good feeling or mood in gambling. So, when gamblers feel such moments, then of course it will be easy for them to continue betting of course to make higher profits.

And that's when we are seeing that the biggest problem in a game is our Own fault , feelings of having more and more appear, greed , avarice, are things that we should take care of, but to avoid this and cloud our mind it is necessary to have a plan, limit money to bet and withdraw when necessary and when I say necessary it is that even if it seems like little money we should do it, if we are lucky enough to withdraw a lot of money , then that's where it should be done , and lower the bets to the minimum to risk , for me that is betting very intelligently.

What are your thoughts?

Not sure if having an amount in mind is a good thing or bad thing according to the writeup, but one thing I certainly know is going in which a plan helps keep you in check and prevents you from going out of the budget or playing all day..think of a plan as a thermostat to help stop you from being an addict  

Otherwise gambling for fun or gambling for an amount in mind all comes to the same thing... making money/profits as no one what's to gamble to waste their precious time!!! All in all gambling addiction is not as simple as amount setting in mind, a whole lot of other perimeters need to be crossed to be flagged for it.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

I believe the first goal of people who gamble is this, the winning amount from their mind which is really given. You always think win and get that money!

Sometimes there are disadvantages and advantages of doing it, the advantage is you think positively to win always - you attract to win.
The disadvantage is being greedy - if you can't handle your emotions, you think more greedy and the result will be in your actions.

I think it is natural for gamblers to think like that playing by considering the victory that will be obtained because these gamblers play by betting their money in the hope of winning big their target may want to change their fate through gambling but unfortunately life is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, we can hope but we also have to be realistic because gambling with a big achievement target will only make someone's life uncontrollable and eventually destroyed just because of excessive gambling.

Gambling is not to change fate or used to replace our daily jobs because it is very dangerous we will lose everything we get from our previous jobs if we take gambling seriously.

playing chasing a specific target is a big risk in my opinion because it leads you to bet just to reach the target.

You can also lose useful opportunities because once you reach the target you would not bet anymore..

Betting because of the target goal, if not then he can continue to increase the bet in order to meet the desired target in gambling this is the human desire in gambling.

Usually people who have reached the desired target multiplier will increase the bet again, they may forget to stop after the target is reached, sometimes the opportunity will be defeated by addiction.

Even if we do something simple, we should consider it very seriously. If I take any task simply then I can never finish that task well. Gambling is completely different from such ordinary work, so gambling should be given the most importance. If we do other work, we will get money, our salary will be given, but if we do not pay attention to gambling or there is any mistake, then the amount of money we invest in gambling will be completely lost. It was seen that the amount of money we earned hard in one month only because of some wrong decision lost all the money in one month but it will create bad effect in our life. There are some gamblers who do not gamble in any particular science they bet money and lose and they bet money and it is seen that at some point they become very addicted to gambling. Becoming addicted to gambling is more dangerous than losing money in gambling. Because an addicted person thinks about how to continue gambling and how to manage money, they don't even know when they are committing a crime.

I think that there is no problem if a gambler has an expectation that he can get a certain amount of money from his gambling that day - it is very reasonable considering that besides seeking pleasure, people gamble also to get money. What needs to be considered is how his attitude towards gambling and being responsible for it. Because if he is responsible and does not gamble carelessly, then no matter how much expectation he wants to get from his gambling, it should not make him easily addicted to gambling.

I don't know while we always Lament on addiction, it's obvious and understood that what makes us to be addicted in gambling is basically through our intentions, and anything and we are over desperate on it and we participate on it frequently, it's called desperation, I know very well, getting desperate much is not good for someone who is below eighteen years old, but someone who is advanced I don't think that is good for we to Lament whenever it's in frequent gambling

Gambling is a gambling, people who is addicted in gambling basically knows the risk measure that's attached in gambling, so I know quite well that gambling has to with own ways, so if you fails to know the strategies of gambling you will not know when you will become an addict of gambling, so in summary, anyone who wants to be addicted in gambling is left for the person not you. Because this campaigns of be addicted and not be addicted has taken over the community for long time ago.

[Lida93]

I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount  they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.

It's just like waking up every morning before you leave for your daily job. You have a target to meet that particular day, and even when you appear exhausted, you will still want to push yourself harder in order for that target to be achieved.

It is for me kinda abnormal to set a target to meet on an activity like gambling where we don't have control on and which outcome doesn't depend on how hard we push it or try. I think the motivation to push harder on life's issues is way out of context in the inclusion of gambling.

 

That's the same way I picture gamblers who have a specific winning amount target set, just the same way some of us set our wager limit. If they don't hit that number, they will always keep trying over and over again until they eventually lose what they even managed to win.

Specific targeted amount is a broad way to gambling addiction because it will encourage loss chasing, also leading to spending much time on gambling more than necessary thereby abandoning other important things about ones life. Maybe gamblers should just be contented with what comes their way and walk away for another again. As the popular saying goes, "he who fights and runaway lives to fight another day".

One thing I know is that everyone including you and I have this mindset to always win, and of course we must win but this aspect draws us more close to consistently gamble without knowing that one is gradually becoming an addicted gambler. About emotions, yes you can not control your emotion while losing, in fact people can't stand watching their bet always cut no matter how tolerance you seems to be maybe there is a trusted game you have and you give you higher bet amount thinking you would win and you if don't it bounced back you where you could feels so disappointed about the amount you used to placed the bet.

When a gambler can practice responsible gambling, he will be able to keep his expectations within a limit. But if the expectation is too high then that gambler has failed to practice responsible gambling. A gambler's urge to win is the source of his addiction and gradually transforms him into an addicted gambler. After a gambler has won a few bets, one type of winning confidence becomes more active, but this type of confidence is the main cause of losses in gambling. A gambler can never win with certainty on his bets. He must also rely on luck. When the gambler bets for more winnings without controlling his greed and subsequently loses the bet, he can realize his mistake to some extent. But only those who can come to a good solution of those issues in advance will be successful.

Those gamblers wants to win so they take gambling seriously and still playing gambling until they can win. Even if they win, they will not reduce or even stop their gambling because their greediness becomes big and want to win more.
That will be dangerous for them as that can makes them use more and more money without they realizes. They will even difficult to know that what they do is wrong and will not think to reduce their money.
We don't know what is in their minds that thinks gambling can gives money to them. They must realizes that they will difficult to win and will suffer because of their losses.

Well alot of people have different mindset on how they go about with their gambling winnings,some earn alot through this so they don't hesitate to stop gambling cause it soots their bills and needs,so definitely they would take it very serious like their life is bent on it.
I know that Gambling has it's Good and bad benefits but then putting so much hope in it and specific amounts to win in mind is totally not ideal.

Yes it's okay to picture what you want but not in the aspect of gambling, probably when doesn't come out as planned,what then will be the outcome,this is why some persons having loss in gambling tend to be repulsive to anyone around.
I definitely don't gamble with a particular amount in mind,but necessarily I do it when I have spare income to gamble with and just for the fun.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind. In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

Having an amount that you want to win in your mind will make you to gamble much more and that is true because it has happened to me before when I gambled because I wanted an amount of money to use for something very important to me that I have already used the money that was meant for that thing for something different. I lost all the capital I had because I did not know when to stop. You can deposit $100 and have in mind that you want to win $500 but you can lose everything despite making $300 profits but just because you want to complete it $500, you will continue to gamble and by then you have already been too involved that you can not stop gambling regardless of what is happening because all you want at the moment is to complete the amount in your mind.

I stay with you on that one. Having a winning amount is okay, but it's okay not to meet it at the end of the session because some days are good, some are worse, and the main thing going for is fun and having a good time, rather than a big jackpot, in my opinion. Of course, if it pays the bills, a person wouldn't stop before he hits the bank, but it can sometimes not happen, that's why it shouldn't be that way.

Indeed It actually sounds somehow setting a wining target on gambling when we all know that gambling is a game of uncertainty, though there is nothing wrong in wishing big or dreaming big in gambling but is better wining big when somebody did not expect than setting a target because one of the disadvantage of setting a wining target on gambling is that if the target is not met the person tends to continue gambling even when they continue losing they would always gamble with the hope to reach there target and through that method somebody can become bankrupt because of aggressive gambling, so perhaps instead of setting a wining target people should reason more on setting a budgeted betting target because it helps to reduce the rate at which people gamble.

What are your thoughts?

Of course it is, and the thoughts and goals in the player's head determine how much he will lose and how quickly he will do it, unless of course he accidentally hits the jackpot, and this can happen to anyone. Of course, I would not focus on the money that I have not won yet and would not think about this amount. Why think about something that does not exist, it is more productive to take real steps towards a dream and take those steps that will bring us closer to it. There is nothing special in betting that could bring us closer to winning, the main thing is not to make gross mistakes and stop when necessary.

Exactly, something to remember is as you said that there is no point in always thinking about things that have not happened or something that does not exist, and this is why a gambler must understand and know the meaning of the word "chance", remember that it is nothing more than a probability or possibility that cannot be ascertained will happen.
So I think having a mindset focused on winning will only make a gambler experience many unwanted things such as large losses, and that really happens to gamblers who are now addicted where instead of producing many wins, the opposite happens.

We also have to understand that goals, hopes, and beliefs will not always be able to influence the results of the game unless luck comes, but in any case, luck will only happen occasionally because there is no element of consistency. So of course it is better to focus on risk management and being prepared to accept the consequences of risk.

When a gambler can practice responsible gambling, he will be able to keep his expectations within a limit.

After a gambler has won a few bets, one type of winning confidence becomes more active, but this type of confidence is the main cause of losses in gambling. A gambler can never win with certainty on his bets. He must also rely on luck. When the gambler bets for more winnings without controlling his greed and subsequently loses the bet, he can realize his mistake to some extent. But only those who can come to a good solution of those issues in advance will be successful.

Big part of being addicted is the lust and desire that can't be controlled, there are gamblers who thinks that they can simply win and will be able to achieved their set targets, but eventually that target keep increasing to the point that they are already being controlled by greed and along the way they will keep experiencing losses and will continue to repeat that same mistake.

Though there are discipline types of gambler who can keep and execute the strategy and due to experienced they'll able to keep it up
and win decently.

What are your thoughts?

Depends. If the goal you set yourself is realistic, you won't have any problems. However, if you go to the casino with $100 and you expect to walk out with $100,000 because you think it's the only solution to your miserable life, it's easier when you lose the $100 to take out another $100, or $1,000 or borrow it or whatever.

Yes this is true. yesterday i loss in gambling and that was borrowed money Although the amount of money is not very big but since I don't have money, the amount is too big for me. This morning I borrowed some of my money and paid off the previous loan with profit from gambling. And in the afternoon I again borrowed money from friends and gambled and lost that money again. Gambling is very tempting.  It's like if we don't mind losing $1000 but winning $100 on a single bet makes us much happier. And this is how we gamble again and again, forgetting previous losses.

I don't do this, because I do not have anything in my mind that I set out to do. I usually end up with whatever I win or lose, because I have a set limit on what I would deposit in a month, if all that money is gone then it is gone and I do not invest into anything else, if I set out to not do anything then we are going to do end up losing more than we should, so limiting your loss is important.

But after limiting the loss, there is no limit on the wins, I can turn my fifty bucks into a million and I would still gamble however I want, would probably cash out most of it, but that doesn't mean I would stop, I would continue to gamble after that too, with a bit higher amount of course but would still not stop gambling all together.
