Consequences of greed

[o48o]

Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.
Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area.
How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games.
But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount).
What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?

Nah, he just lost. There's no "quitting in right time", other than in hindsight. Everything is about luck and just the fact that he won 15 million was because he risked enough. That's greed too you know, and greed sometimes get rewarded. But there's no huge wins on risking less or quitting in right time. Because right time and right bets only exist in hindsight.

We just like to think the winnings were somehow in our own choices and that we were in control, because admitting that it was pure change and luck gets our control away. Only thing we can and should control is our daily / weekly / monthly gambling budget, but controlling that doesn't bring as wins, it just makes sure we don't lose everything.

It may not actually be greed; it is just his own betting technique that has most likely worked for them before. I know a specific sport's better who has a method of eliminating some of the options from his original bet choices and replaying the other previously played games again, and it can go on until he wins.

To me, this is a case of the predictor being unlucky.

[mirakal]

I can not call it greed if he is able to afford to lose the money that he used to stake the bet. If his friend have not won, he may not even think of the bet at all. But he might not like the situation as his friend won but he did not win. He will not like the situation not because his friend won, but because he lost and he gave his friend what to select to bet with.

It could be a little bit of greed but if he's able to bet more than his own prediction, then there's no problem with it. After all, betting prediction has no guarantees that it will bring you good profits in an instant, it's still about luck and chances.

The only bad thing here is your friend won out from your winning bet, wishing you also won because you made that prediction. Sometimes, temptations are irresistible. But don't worry, if you can't win today, maybe you'll end up winning the next day. Gambling is just like that, you lose and you win, but most likely you'll end up losing.lol

It's always like this I think he thought that his potential winning is too small while compared with the amount to be stake so he decided to add more games to boost his odds to give him the exact amount needed by him but unknowingly the game he selected are the architect of his down fall. My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game.

Unfortunately, I have seen many cases of this type. A few years ago, I traveled to another city. In that city, I went to live in a house where there was someone who also bet on sports. However, he was more radical than me in the sense that he hated having small winnings. For him, a bet had to be a multibet, and when he got it right, he would win a lot of money. He would place more than 20 games in a multibet bet. I was shocked every time he kept adding teams to his multibet bet, because in most cases he would get 16 games right, but he insisted that the games should exceed 20. And he would always get it wrong when the games exceeded 16 games.

And he would complain about this. The saddest thing about all this is that when he got 16 games right, the money was a lot. So I asked him: wouldn't it be much better to have a lot of money coming from winning 16 games than to have nothing when you place 20 or more games? He told me that he would rather lose everything than settle for winning 16 games. But I kept asking myself, why the hell does the guy keep complaining and getting sad every time he loses the 20-game bet? That's when I realized that greed was destroying him. He wanted to get rich quick and he went blind.

It's normal for everyone to be greedy because it's human nature but we must learn to control it, went through your story and I must say that the guy that added more games to his slip was really greedy cause why would 15 million naira not be enough profit for you, but that's what gambling is all about, it's filled with a lot of uncertainties.. I have done something similar to this before but it wasn't this bad, my target was 5 odds but after accumulating it I added one more game to make it 6 odds and i that game I added ruined everything

Some people have zero interest in gambling but will have a go if it looks like a freebie is on offer, likely taking the most rational path towards winning. However if you are a gambler there is always added temptation to stick another bet on to increase a parlay multiplier, but which can undo an otherwise winning bet. You haven't really defined what this "betting code" unlocked and how the actual game worked, was it a free prediction type offer? Because those will often have a massive amount of variations and it'd increase the chance of winning if two friends bet on different outcomes. If he was a good friend then surely he might have sent him a bit of cash (only say 5%) for giving him the tip.

I think that is correct that the greed can make you go in ruin.However that friend who lost was also stupid in my opinion as he could have bet the same and bet another ticket to make more money but apparently he was not convinced at all that the first initial chosen games for him would nail such a huge win,that is why in such case I say this friend is both greedy and stupid at the same time,completely different from the friend who he gave the advice which was smart enough to just give a go and of course I doubt he expected to win either yet the win was netted to him in the end.Moral of the story,greed is the evil of all things when we are gambling.

[danherbias07]

Never happened to me, if it did, I cannot even remember it.

It's true that greed could change a lot of things especially when it comes to gambling but imagine this, what if that other guy who added more to his parlay won that ticket? Will we still be talking about greed or are we going to talk about how wise he is by adding more and winning a higher multiplier?

Different people will try a better option especially if they think they can win it. Now that guy took that risk and even though he lost it, I bet he will learn from the mistake and try a better parlay next time or maybe he will just stick with the shorter parlay.

Greed can makes anyone lose in gambling and that is happens for many people. If you can holds yourself from your greediness, you will not lose your money and can enjoy your winning. I never gives anyone a booking code and he won but I lose and if that is happen, I will be sad because I lose my money. If that man stick to his prediction, he can win like his friends and enjoy his winning.

That is why we must control our greed especially if we can win from gambling. If we can do that, we can enjoy our winning by withdrawing the money and we don't have to experience lose that win money. If we want to win more money, our greed will tempting us to keeps playing gambling or placing more amount to bet. If we can not hold ourselves from the greed, we will not get the tempt from gambling and we can enjoy our winning.

Victory will turn into defeat when we are greedy, many people have experienced this, even in the past we may have felt the same thing caused by this greed. However, we can be better because we learn from past mistakes that we have made, there are also people who still do the same thing until now because of their greed.
A few days ago I met an old friend of mine who had just returned from his job. Long story short, he gambled and managed to win a big win at that time. I reminded him to immediately withdraw and enjoy it, at that time he did what I said and he also gave me tips for playing. One day later he met me again, and I asked him what he used his winnings for. He replied that he had spent it again on gambling after he parted with me to go home and he continued playing at his house. That is one example of how greed can turn victory into defeat.

[YOSHIE]

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?

Gamblers often and often do this, especially in sports betting, this is the worst behavior in the world of sports, giving wrong information, but the wrong person can actually win.

I often see the nature of friends treating other friends like that, I see it with my own eyes.
for example: friend B asks friend A about sports betting, what are the good odds for betting on the two clubs (score) for club A or B, friend A gives friend B information about whether club B is good, But friend A didn't place a bet, instead he placed for a different club. Unfortunately, the one who won the score was club B, which provided the information, didn't win, but instead lost, that's not trusting each other and being greedy can destroy ourselves, so give us the information we are also risking, don't think we are smarter and want to fool other friends, in fact we ourselves are stupid.

I agree to your assumption. Additionally, I think he add a pick with a very low odds just to boost the odds a little since some gambler considered small odds such as below 1.1 as sure win which is perfect to bump the odds on parlay.

My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game.

Some people usually preferred to change what’s their personal bet to make a difference to the pick that they gave to other person. Maybe he wants to win with a little higher odds to others when the result of the was known but it turns put to be a disappointment.

[LUCKMCFLY]

For me the worst consequence of greed is our conscience , because our mind sometimes can't let us sleep if it recreates everything we were doing and the possible scenarios we would Create if we hadn't made some kind of move, this is what for me is always the worst consequence, not to mention that you lose money and all this, it is a fact that it will always be like this, those who lose a lot of money by not controlling themselves, I can now say that it is their own Fault , because if we look at it, the casino does not force us to bet.

It's not an unusual thing that he had to make a review of the games he already predicted... Sometimes, it could be about the change in odds, or that he go caught up with games that were likely to be a win.

What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?

I'm not saying GREED cannot be a factor in this scenario, but you gotta understand that other things must have led to that; like uncertainty of how those games would play... I've seen people that wager on extension games, not with the intention that all the games would come forth, but with the precision that atleast 5 would be enough to use the cashout button for whatever profits has been made.  Nevertheless, that only got things messy.

Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.

On the other hand, I don't know specifically why he didn't return to his first ticket, but I'm sure that the only right reason is because he gambled by prioritizing greed so that instead of getting a win equivalent to the amount of the bet he brought, what happened was the opposite, where he went home with a zero balance while his friend managed to win big.

a gambler can usually control his emotions and not be greedy after experiencing some bad events as an experience that he uses as his learning.
many gamblers share stories not to be stupid when gambling greedily. but it will be difficult for gamblers to apply when they do not feel the real situation themselves.
I agree greed in gambling is a bad choice. we can win some but have to lose everything when we become greedy. all choices are in our own hands, and sometimes we forget something that gets bigger also has risks.

What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend.

That's almost $10k and a lot of money. Every gambler is going to learn their lessons the hardest possible way if we can. If the chances are already there or if the money have already won, there's no need for us to be that brave at all and try to do as much as we can because that's what we think is the right thing to do. You take what's yours and don't be pushy enough just for you to make more wins because you'll have hard time getting it.

So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?

Nah, I have never done this and I'm like a solo gambler and never talk about this in real life. I am not hiding though but I feel like it's more securing if no one knows about it and I can be free to gamble anywhere and anytime I want to. But about predictions and referrals, this is common with online betting rather than the typical physical betting house for which is the setup of your story, OP.

Gambling is unpredictable. What if it turns the other way? This will likely happen to you if you cannot moderate your greed. It's hard to overextend your chances. You have to be satisfied and just come back later on. This is where you lose everything and chase your losses once you extend your luck.

I'm sure his friend will give him a share of the winnings, but this is a big lesson for him to moderate his greed and just be satisfied with your winnings; in gambling, the best virtue is knowing how and when to stop.

Its such a crappy feeling the what ifs of gambling. What if I would have placed that bet and won 15 million? I can't believe I didn't place that bet & this other guy I showed how to place won the bet! They are probably thinking to themselves, why couldn't it have been me? Sucks to be in that situation. Hopefully their luck will make a turn for the better!
