Gambling with a winning amount in mind

[Issa56]

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.

Most gamblers are not always satisfied with the little amount they win, they are always wanting more. That’s why, after winning a little amount of money, they will want to gamble with it just to increase it. At the end, most of them do end up losing everything, even the little win that they had when they started 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.

If you are gambling for fun, then there is no way that you are going to be addicted to gambling. The only people that I know get addicted to gambling are the ones who are gambling for the sake of money. They are the once’s that I know who get addicted to gambling because they are always desperately in need of money, and after winning, they always have the confidence that if they keep on gambling, they will increase their win.

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?

I don't think any gambler will be stupid to get this kind of mindset and also want to gamble. It's only logical to see a person that win or lose without a reason than losing because you're to greedy with a define amount of money on mind. I'm not sure if that is longer gambling but a way to make money, not a way to fun but a way to look for money and that beat the intension of gambling.

Even though you are the gambling freak and likes casino very well, it will not end well when you have a definite amount amount of money to be made. You will lose everything to gambling before you win something frkm any casino that you bet your money into.

What are your thoughts?

Here lies the diversity of gambling where people usually gamble with two types of goals. A group of people who participate in gambling for money will certainly react strongly if you lose a bet. But those who gamble primarily for entertainment do not experience any negative reactions if they lose their bets. However, those who bet with the intention of winning money are the ones who mainly face large losses at the end of the bet. So mainly entertainment should be given priority to participate in gambling.

[Accardo]

Weird. Isnt just winning is already enough? Isnt to win is a good goal before starting a game? Because from “winning a specific amount” it start to look a bit like chasing losses. While trying to win a specific amount, a gambler might bet again and again, until it is to late to stop. I would say that having such s goal is dangerous. I would better place a bet and hope I was right at might prediction, then be happy about it, then trying to win a specific amount.

Having such a goal is a little dangerous when it's realistically small and more dangerous if the player expects to win a huge amount. Setting a high goal in gambling develops a negative impression on a player and increases his chances of chasing losses. But, if a player got in mind to achieve a smaller amount, he can achieve his goals, and he'd have no reason to go for more.

That's not true... People get their motivation from different sources and sadly, that's the only way they can quit or keep the consistency.. I mean, you barely know which ticket will cut it, so how do you get enticed?

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.

There's absolutely nothing fun about gambling with a specific amount in mind... Why do I really need to feel entitled to a win? It looks to me like that's just another way to assert too much pressure, there by, counting on more losses.
Having this kind of thought is as good as hoping to get a jackpot on a a particular ticket... meanwhile, somethings don't just happen when you want them to.

Good thinking, I also believe it, where people who have an orientation towards money in gambling then he is the one who will experience addiction faster and lose more money than people who just play for fun.

The thought process affects a person in understanding an object, so with gambling, use your brain to talk about the possibilities in gambling, especially in games based on luck.

You are right! And I think fun should be the corner stone for people to strive for, not the money. Because that way, it's better for yourself in the long run.

It could be dangerous if you don't have any self-control and more likely to chase more winnings. And when you thought that you are lucky already, comes in the late games some unfavorable result to you. The OP mind have been correct though we should have a profit in mind, but when the game begun, it's very hard to control and even if we have that money in our pocket, who knows, maybe you will continue till you win or lose in the end.

As for my experience, sometimes I fall for this, as again, as I was playing, most of the time this philosophy have slip my mind and so I will have to really master myself and be in composure that I should be happy already with the winnings in my hand already.

Totally, it's important to not only have this thought in mind but to utilize it in the situations where it's needed. I wish you good times ahead and to master yourself even better

Fun is addiction dont you know? When you gamble for fun you tend always to want to have fun every day and most people spend so much time gambling every day with the idea that they are gambling for fun. And if you check how much they must have lost you will understand that it is no more fun again because they start chasing wins to recover from the loss—gradually their mood changes then it's now about the win. Gambling for fun is just an idea on the surface that blinds so many people into gambling to think they are not addicted to gambling. It takes time for them to realize that they have been addicted for years and would quit gambling.

That's a beautiful talk, our mindset towards gambling matters and we need to preserve it. Anyone desperate for the money will always face gambling on wrath, except in a few cases where the gambler is lucky. Anything we want so badly will always cause desperation and desperation will always ruin gamblers. Though it's not so bad to gamble for the money but we should never let it get to the level that it will be pushy or gambling as if our lives depend on it, the end will never be fine.

If we told ourselves the truth as well, you'll hardly find those who are gambling typically for the fun of it and yet some are making money with that mindset. This can only suggest that one can still pursue their gambling goals regardless of whether it is for the money or fun, but they need to have a viable plan on how to make it work for them without hurting themselves. If you are gambling for the money, you should have your plans on the strategy to use, the budget and risk management. These must also align with the kind of person you are because if you calculate them wrongly, there is no way it will not affect your psychology when you are losing and this can cause some undesired ripple effect that may not limit it to frustration.

I agree with @TopTort777 that it could be a dangerous goal. We must not set an exact number because a problem might happen.

I am doing this now.
Let's say the minimum withdrawal is $20 and a gambler deposited $10. Now, what's next? If he wins and makes it to $20. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
Now, let's say the $10 increased to $19 so he has no choice but to gamble more and then he wins another $10 which makes his total $29. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
No exact number but as long as I hit that minimum withdrawal point, I stop and think. That way it will help us decide what to do next. If we are satisfied with it, walk out, withdraw, and enjoy it.

             -      Gamblers don't have the same goal in mind; to be honest, what about other gamblers whose only goal is to have fun and who don't care if they lose? Right? It seems that entertainment is really the only reason for gambling.

Although there are others who really gamble because they consider it a source of income, others cannot complete the day if they don't gamble every day of their lives, and these types of gamblers are really addicted.

Someone who makes gambling a place to have fun and doesn't care when they lose, in my opinion is one way to avoid addiction, with the note that even though they don't care about losing, they still shouldn't chase the loss. Or in other words, when they lose they will stop gambling and come back after having some money that can be bet. However, if they don't care when they lose but still gamble, that's not good either. However, it should also be remembered that this can also be the beginning of addiction, even though at first they have fun and can stop, but when it becomes a habit then there will be an urge where when they don't gamble it's like something is missing. This must also be considered, don't let that feeling control your mind, because if it's like this then it will still end up with the same case.

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.

$100 invested in Kaspa months ago is now six figures, I am not saying that all crypto investment are like this but I will rather take my chances with something that's likely to happen than gambling, $100 is too high for gambling even if I am making thousands in a month, this is just common sense, gambling is wired to be unfair to gamblers.

My advice is it is better not to have your mind on hitting the jackpot as a gambler, you will start misbehaving sooner or later,  expectations over expectations, winning is not a must in gambling, lower your expectations, risk very little amount.

I think a wise gambler never makes jackpot as motivation and goal. I agree with you that setting limits in gambling will cause someone to keep chasing losses. I personally never set win and loss limits or limits on how much return I have to get to make a withdrawal. I think if we withdraw all our money then one day we will make a deposit again. So I prefer to keep my money and just have fun in small amounts. I know there are gamblers who want to get big money from gambling to change their lives. But from my experience, it is very rare for gamblers to be successful. Most gamblers who try to chase wins will become greedy and emotional and eventually lose everything.

Playing casino without thinking about losing? Like drinking without a hangover, it sounds great until you wake up with a pounding head and empty money. The issue is that you are essentially allowing yourself to keep running towards that high when you overlook the losses. You believe you have control, but the house always wins at last

The reality check is that you're not having fun and you're addicted if you stop gambling when you're broke and then start back-off when you have money once more. Money reflects your decisions, not only about what you buy. You are not controlling your money if you cannot control your gambling, hence tragedy is almost certain

Gambling occasionally is fine. You have to be sincere with yourself though. Are you seeking escape from something or are you doing it for fun? Is the game running you or are you in control? Maybe it's time to back off if you can't respond those questions honestly.  One should choose to gamble; it should not be a need. Keep it from ruling your life

Well well, I definitely understand the angle you are coming from, and sincerely, it makes sense to me.
But also understand that there are people who are so obsessed with gambling in the sense or to an extent that they will rather spend that $100 on trying their luck with gambling, rather than invest that money on a crypto asset where they will be forced to wait several months, if not years, before they can have the opportunity of cashing out anything reasonable or tangible.

But again, like I said before, I understand the angle you are coming from and I buy into the same opinion as you, I will rather invest my $100 on a good crypto asset, than risk it on gambling, gambling should be done with no expectations in mind, not even about lowering expectations, but one who really wants to enjoy gambling should do it without any form of expections in mind, because when there are no expections, there is no cause to be disappointed when games don't turn out in the favor of the gambler.

The house always has the win, period. We are not discussing a laid-back poker night with friends; this is a calculated system meant to drain your funds. It goes beyond simply the lost money as well. It concerns the illusion of control. Though in actuality the game is playing you, you believe you are making decisions. The adrenaline hooks you; you chase that elusive win and before you know it you're not in control at all. Dancing to the tune of the casino, you are a puppet on a string.

A gambler and the casino have no kind of cooperation in their connection. Its a predator-prey relationship. Though you believe you are running toward liberation, you are really caught in a dependent loop. Thats being played; its not winning.

Knowing when to turn away is the prudent action. Its time to change if gaming ceases to be enjoyable and begins to seem like a need. This is about being wise with your life as much as it is about your money. Like any tool, money is one that may be used or abused.

Of a truth, different gamblers set different goals in mind before gambling but for  a gambler to gamble for fun and wouldn't mind about the outcome of his gamble, it means he's financially buoyant and doesn't need the proceeds from winnings in gambling to survive so you don't expect his objective to be the same with someone who's gambling because of what he stands to gain. That being said, it's very important for a gambler to set out his expectations before engaging in any gambling activity so it helps him to always remain in check and not exceed his limits

Players like yourself who possess a strong level of self-control can impugn the withdrawing after winning strategy. It'll save you the stress of depositing money often. Those who can't hold the urge when their balance isn't empty may withdraw to deposit later. Whatever works for a player such that he could be in control is admitted.
