Gambling with a winning amount in mind

[Moreno233]

This is a common thing for gamblers especially in sports bet and some casino games that winning amount is know from the beginning. This means gambler already know what he plans to win and that will be the motivation and also influence the amount the gambler will bet. For luck based games, you can only hope to win but cannot know the amount to win from the beginning. In such a case, your mind is not fixed on any specific amount, but mere hope although you can have in mind the range of multiplier you wish to win.

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.

Every gambler expects to win, they want money.
It is as simple as the motivation of most gamblers. If there is no money, there will be no 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.

Sure, whenever we gamble excessively, it is one step of an addiction. Make a limitation for our gambling activity, it is the only way to avoid addiction. But we must be aware of the bad impacts, in this way we will be serious to prevent from an excessive gambling.

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.

Gamble much or less, it depends on the capital of the gambler. How they determine the capital, it will depend on the goal and the financial level of the gambler. Generally, I can assume that much or less will be quite subjective. Someone can say spending $50 is much in a day, other may say it is less. But the right way is to spend small percentage of our income only (below 5% is better).

By the way, it is sometimes difficult to define "success" in gambling. How do you define "success" in gambling? I think very few gamblers who assume the success in gambling is to have entertainment on it. Most of us will determine the "success" based on the amount of money got from 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.

The problem with a gambler pursuing a determined goal is that he won't rest until achieving that goal. And since gambling is a game of luck, he may never achieve that goal... And if it's the case, he is going to spend all his money in a desperate attempt to win the amount he has in mind. That is insanity, because the gambler is going to compromise his whole financial life for something which may never happen! It's possible he may bankrupt in the process, so it's totally advisable to not have winnings amounts in mind when gambling.

Let randomness decide what your fate in gambling will be and accept it humbly in the end. Gamblers can't overcome casinos on long run, so they should just accept the outcomes without taking it as a personal challenge which has to be won against the house, the algorithm, the gambling community or any other person or entity the gambler wants to prove his capabilities.

What are your thoughts?

That is true.
We've got targets in our minds and that's why we keep on gambling. The specifics are there but it doesn't happen at most times.
And that's why when we gamble, as long as we're marked up and the profit is there, that's much better than to chase those losses and then that goal that you have set.
It's okay to chase goals as well but if we're talking about gambling, everything changes with that. You don't get to see your goals on a day to day basis and that's why you need to be careful with it.
Change your mindset, as long as you are in profit or break even, you're doing well than the others.

Gambling with a set goal in mind can be ok but also you must consider the risk and what it takes to get there. Are you OK to lose your initial? If yes, fine and do whatever you like. Because you should be certain that it's a very likely possibility to lose anything you wager with. Otherwise it wouldn't be gambling.

But many people don't think logically and therefore for them gambling with a profit goal in mind can lead them to lose their everything by simply falling in the trap of chasing profits, and depositing more and more to attain your goal as you incur losses also.

when you want to gamble, you should be ready to lose the money you bet, because that is something that is most likely to happen, so you must be able to accept that the money you bet is lost in gambling. even though there is a chance to get a reward, the chance to get this reward is not as big as the chance of losing, so don't be upset when the money you bet is lost. besides that, don't expect too much from gambling because with high hopes like this, it can usually make us unable to accept when the money we bet is lost in gambling.
what you said is right, the wrong mindset where they think that they can definitely get profit in gambling can actually make them lose more money, because when defeat occurs it is not accepted well until what happens is the emotion that leads us to want to recover the loss only while there is no certainty that there can be a reversal of the situation where there is a victory that can cover all the losses that have occurred. this is what each of us needs to pay attention to when gambling.

each gamblers have their own way of thinking and plans , but remember that yours is not what mine .

but being serious in gambling means one thing, and that is for me a desperation because they are relying things in Luck.

targeting amount keeps bringing losses so best not to be one mate.

its always the better thing? to put specific amount to lose and not how much to win.

[Blitz23]

When it comes to gambling, the mindset a person adopts can have a significant impact on their behaviour. Gamblers who have a specific winning amount in mind often keep playing because they’re motivated by the idea of reaching that goal. This can make them more persistent, but it also increases the risk of addiction. They might gamble more frequently and with higher stakes, chasing after their desired outcome, even if it means risking more than they can afford to lose. On the other hand, people who gamble for fun, without a particular goal, tend to approach it more casually. They’re usually more likely to stop after a small win or set limits on how much they’re willing to lose. The thought process a gambler uses whether they’re focused on a goal or just enjoying the game can determine how much they gamble, how often they do it, and whether they’re more likely to develop a gambling problem. In the end, while having a goal might make someone more disciplined, it can also push them towards unhealthy patterns if they become too fixated on it.

By the way, it is sometimes difficult to define "success" in gambling. How do you define "success" in gambling? I think very few gamblers who assume the success in gambling is to have entertainment on it. Most of us will determine the "success" based on the amount of money got from gambling. 

Many stories from my friends say that success in gambling is when you can stop or in other words you can stop your greed and addiction to gambling. I think someone who still wants to win a lot of money from gambling cannot be called successful. I know there are some people who get rich from gambling but it has a very small probability. Most gamblers who want money and victory end up being addicts and spend all their money. I think having fun is better than getting money. This is my personal opinion and I still respect any decision from everyone.

I used to be gambler with characteristic attitude that aimed to bet money for victory and I thought about being able to have target of victory with certain amount of profit.
But if really think about it carefully and calculate everything well between victory and defeat to the profit with the loss, then I find that the defeat and loss are much greater than the amount of victory that can be obtained.
It will always fail if have mindset like that, all targets will fall apart and cannot be in accordance with expectations, until in the end we as gamblers will never be able to really feel the benefits that are deserved.

Moreover, gamblers who have target will always have fairly high gambling intensity and in reality they can have greater chance of getting series of bad impacts and also the consequences of gambling.
All of this is really not worth doing and is highly discouraged.

Pretty sure on the moment that we are just starting on gambling or complete noob then it would really be that normal that we would really be thriving out to make some those kind of thoughts that we would really be able to make easy money with gambling. The main priority that you would be having in mind is to make yourself a winner because on the time that you would be losing up money then this is where you would be making up some realizations that this isnt how gambling should really be treated. This is why it would really be that important that you shouldnt really be that making yourself that being too hopeful about winning in gambling because on the time that you would really be losing then this is where self realizations would really be kicking in. Gambling should be just for fun but it cant really be denied that we are really thriving on becoming a winner.

Even if we do say about into those old and veteran gamblers on which we are really that targeting for making some winnings but the most important thing that you should consider is that
you do able to enjoy at the same time you are really that having that chance on making some profits or winning on which it would really be that in second priority.
Just dont make yourself that being too greedy then you should really be just that fine.

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..

Then, why to embark yourself  on gambling if not to dream about jackpot. I'm sure that the latter is the long-cherished goal of every gambler whether he likes to acknowledge this or not otherwise he is from  the  class of   hyppocrites. And such dreams are not bad at all even they are not destined to come true.

The knowledge of the downsides of continuous betting should encourage you to keep things moderate, yes you can hit the jackpot when you continue betting even after reaching your target, and of course you can loose everything if you start experiencing a losing streak.

Furthermore, keeping to your decision to quit after reaching your target enables you to be more disciplined and less careless in your gambling involvements and limits your chances of being an addict in there near future.

Jackpots are everywhere, you can hit it in your career, don't just attach too much hope of hitting it while gambling for your own sake. The damages are real and should be avoided at all costs.

Bit risk to the fact that everything is unsure in gambling. Consistency is not always good since sometimes it will just lead to more bigger loss to us if we decide to continue even if we are already in bad situation. That's why we just need to feel each condition of our bets and if we think we are already losing then its better to quit.

Thinking about chasing losses is not good action so people must settle for what they experience to avoid getting more larger risk to lose a lot of money.

People just need to enjoy their game and think about winning huge or hitting their targets is just a bonus. Since if you are lucky those bigger rewards will came especially if you play on a casino games which give you a chance to hit those big multipliers.

What are your thoughts?

The lure for many gamblers is winning big, and this leads to frequent, at times compulsive, gambling. Such a vision of hitting a big jackpot may overshadow smaller wins, thus creating a higher risk factor for compromise. Gamblers who are purposeful or goal-directed with bets on specific amounts they would want to win could be overcome by impulsive and "chase" mentality, which might render them very prone to problems. Compared to people who gamble for fun and without any financial goal in mind, which greatly discourages it, leading to a more downward approach in gambling characterized by The continuous theories of gambling upon which gambling was based, whether it was motivated by future gains or a focus on pleasure, played an essential role in determining the act of gambling Although some measured win by numbers won gambling being hazardous by nature, lasting success was uncommon. These complexities need to be recognized, in particular as gambling starts to become problematic, to make informed decisions on when and how to get help.

I agree motivation is a huge factor in how you behave as a gambler if your goal is to gain or recover your losses, chances are you are not going to spend more than what you can afford to lose.

The right motivation should be to accept whatever the outcome of the game is and not force yourself to achieve what you want. If you're lucky, you will eventually hit your goal.

In gambling, you may not get what you want, but you may have a chance to do that when an opportunity opens up.

This is the main point of maintaining a "golden middle" in everything. I mean maintaining a balance. We can't blindly move towards a result, forgetting about your life. But we can't forget to live here and now.
Therefore, all work, all rest and all hobbies like gambling should be balanced and only then will we have success in life.

Good point, if you plan things out and you manage to practice whatever set up you created, then the chance of making money and enjoy your session can be fulfill, though it's good to think about making decent but also you need to have that kind of control if how much is the amount that you are willing to let go.

Both win and lose amount should be plan and should be inside your mind to practice controlling yourself and not to allow any emotions to lead you losing more than what you can afford to let go.

If you are not playing for fun, you may have some idea that makes you play much more often than regular players do. These ideas can be very different. For example, a player may believe that he has some ingenious strategy that will help him win such a significant amount that it will change his life. And until the player is completely convinced that this idea is untenable, a very long time may pass... In general, sometimes it is very difficult to understand the potential of an idea. However, it may well make you play much more often.
