Gambling with a winning amount in mind

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Despite being an addicted gambler or not, there's always a belief that we all have that makes us to think that if we don't win today we will not miss the next days ahead of us. Being addicted to gamble even makes it harder to win because it always runs in the gamblers mind that we must win, and most times we don't win at all. The thing is, we must know that if we don't win to day we shouldn't chase our losses because chasing loss will bring more losses.

It's natural to feel that way because every day is not always the same, and as humans, we always have to feel positive energy and wish ourselves luck. So, if one actually gets defeated today, the person always has the feeling and wishes to get lucky next time. But an individual becomes so addicted when the gambler has made it a must to win a certain amount, and even when they are not hitting that amount, they continue betting until they might end up losing everything.

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.

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.

What are your thoughts?

That is very true. When a gambler has a said amount as a goal to win then his mind diverts him into gambling more.
This is because his mind wants him to achieve his goal quickly but that turns out to be a nightmare in most cases.
When a gambler don't have any budget in mind then he gambles freely without any conditions and quits whenever he wants.
Even when the winning amount is very low or none but if he has satisfied his gambling needs then he quits but the gambler with an amount in mind keeps gambling to win that amount.

This is the mindset that normally make gamblers to gamble with much amount of money because they feel they can actually make some specific amount of money, but gambling is a game of surprise which you can't really tell if one will win or lose. It is better to take gambling as a game of fun and play with amount one can afford to lose and never to have a specific win as a target. Having an amount to win in mind in gambling can make one to be very desperate which can lead one unable to have control in gambling, such mindset can also make a gambler to be addictive in gambling. It is just better to gamble for fun and not having any target in mind.

Gambling with a winning in mind is not totally a bad idea. It will only be disastrous if the expected winning amount is outrageous.

• I'll stake 100 to win 110 (not bad)
• I'll have to win 1500 with 100 before I'll leave this casino today (bad).

Talking about gambling for fun, I am yet to know the fun in gambling when you are lossing money.

You have a good point that we should not have a winning amount in our heads, or else, it will be a catastrophe as it could lead to emotion and emotion can lead to anything else. Although this does not necessarily lead to addiction, nevertheless, it is good that we have clear minds towards gambling and rather work around reality than dreams that will never happen.

Gambling is so risky, it can't be vouched for in terms of winning/ outcomes and we should be happy if we are lucky to win, it can't be a function of our expectations. So since we can't control what will happen in gambling, not even with the situation where the chance is so high, we should then ensure that we have viable management towards our portfolio and plan on how our bettings would take shape with a plain mind.

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.

Disciplined gamblers need not worry about near misses like others who get moved by them. I don't condemn having a winning amount in mind, but it shouldn't be exaggeratedly high. Having in mind to win smaller amounts is not wrong or addictive because it's an attainable level of wins. But for a player who deceives himself with huge win expectations, his anxieties would grow easily.

A "gambler" is going to gamble all day and stop when broke or when tired. That's their nature. A player that is looking to make a few bucks and call it a day is not IMO considered a "gambler". Yes they gamble but not every hour of everyday like a real gambler.

IMO you need to be a mix of both. Gamble and gamble alot if you want, but always consider having some sort of goal in mind.

That’s all about the gambling you will never seee a person who take the gambling activities very serious and always given his self full that they have doubts for any game they stake that it will surely come, since there been a while the the system that the gambling is not about experts. Because they even those that they didn’t have any knowledge about the gambling there also winning the amount that they didn’t expect, and that’s part what is given so people so much motivation in gambling.

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’m wonder for some peoples that always putting a winning amount in there mind when ever they come to gamble if not be some people how can I be predictable winning amount on top of gamble that I never know either I can even win or lose.

That's the question of what's considered a "real" gambler. The main thing going, in my opinion, should be the emotions, not the bucks or the amount of gambling. Sure, bigger prizes mean more emotions, but it should be noted that only the money that is okay to spend should be used.

That way, the gambler will have both of the worlds, as you said - having a good time (which, in my opinion, should be the goal in mind) and the emotions behind the process.

Good point. As for me I believe that every positive thoughts attracts luck faster than negative thoughts. And one who's gambling we always need to have a positive thoughts but he shouldn't take it serious because if what's he's planning didn't work out the way he thinks it he might not gamble with a good intention anymore.

Staying positive can make wonders. And I too think that good thoughts are like the beacon of light that brings good fortune with it

What do you mean by positive thinking in the sense that a gambler directs his mind to the belief that the journey will end in victory? Or do you mean by positive thinking that is gambling calmly and without being based on any ambition? I hope this can be explained in more detail so that it can be more focused or the intention so that it does not become a misunderstanding.

Because when a gambler thinks positively which for example means that the best will come like victory, then it is the same as putting hope in a place that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee that it can always happen, and of course this can cause significant disappointment when it turns out that everything does not go according to expectations.

I'm trying to let you know that in gambling we gamble most of times to make money and it's few people I will say that they gamble base on fun, let me use this question as illustration,  what's the intention of someone who is poor and engaged in gambling, I know that the major objective of someone who is into gambling is to make money through gambling, it doesn't have any other intentions expect  to make money through gambling and that's why I don't believe In someone gamble with for fun, people gamble for fun and other people also gamble for themselves to earn a living

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

How many of us have been having a particular winning amount in consideration and we gamble to see that the same expectations were meant, gambling could be unpredictable in most cases, when we set a target on it, then we have to make sure that its base on what we can afford to lose, when it comes then we take it, but if it doesn't then we accept the fate, there is nothing too sure about the end result we may have in gambling than when luck work on us.

That's right, I've been through a phase like this, where in gambling opportunities I target the amount of winnings I want to get, if I'm not mistaken 4 months ago I did something like this because I needed a little extra money to do activities on some newly developed altcoin projects and I needed about $400 dollars, then I used $50 money to do gambling, which in the end took quite a long time and I had to make two deposits to be able to get $200 winnings, and finally stopped before reaching the target for fear of losing.

I think your thinking is the same as mine, and it's true.

Is there any gambler out there who brings out his money to gamble without having that positive spirit to win? Every gambler desires to win whenever they gamble and that's the positive thought.  But then, does these positive thought influence there winning all the time? No it doesn't.  This is to show that, just having a positive thought towards gambling is not all that is needed.  The most important thing is having an open mind towards gambling so we can accept whatever results we may get from the games we've played.  Any gambler who relies so much on positivity without really having an open mind will get disappointed quickly if his expectations are not met.

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.

The best way to avoid this calamity from happening is the limit our urge for greed and profits, and focus more on fun regardless of how we feel about the games, sometimes, many gambler's feel so confident about a game to the point that they risk they entire balance on a single bet, instead of to bet with limits.


This is why is important to have a set limits target at each point so that you can avoid unnecessary level of loses all in an attempt to reach a profit level.

Better than nothing right? I mean if it's close enough to what you expect why bother pushing for more if you can wisely withdraw your earnings and enjoy,  it's serves as your tips while enjoying the game,  not all have that capability as most of the gamblers will think that they need to seek for more while luck still backing them up, it's always good being practical even you have something in your mind but it's still great to have and secure your profits.

That's exactly my point: Why risk everything only to end up losing more in the process? If I supposedly have earned $50 but my goal is $80, I'm better off redeeming my current earnings; it's certainly better than nothing. Sometimes achieving our gambling goals isn't feasible; we're not talking about minor amounts of $5 or $10, but a profit of $40 or $50 is beyond reasonable to overcomplicate things. It also depends on how much you've bet. I'll be satisfied if I place a $50 bet and receive $80 in return.

[Juse14]

Those who have a target amount of winnings in gambling, actually do not have that target. Greed always envelops, and emotions are often uncontrollable.

When someone gets a big win, which means they have reached the targeted amount of winnings. It is difficult for that person to think rationally about gambling, and decide to end the game. Because there is always a feeling that drives someone to continue betting, with the intention of multiplying what they have got. Which can make someone lose what they have got because after getting a big win, there will always be a desire to bet more and bigger than before.

But it's not enough there, when someone has lost what they should have gotten, then the desire to get that win back will always be there. But as we know that gambling is full of uncertainty, so in the end he will not only lose the winnings he has got, but he will also lose some of the money he has

I have a very clear idea about your question. Firstly, I agree with you that playing for fun is more useful than playing for money or winning. But I would like to point out a number of cases when a person comes to gambling for pleasure, but over time the thirst for money outweighs it in favor of a big win and the pleasure stops and perhaps even addiction occurs. I want to say that for each person similar processes can occur differently.
