Unexpected wins vs expected wins, which excites the most?

[Darker45]

That's also true for me, probably true to almost all gamblers even. It's more fun to get the unexpected than the expected. That's true to gambling. That's probably even true to other events in our lives. That's very human. There's a good story to tell about the unexpected rather than the expected.

But I don't agree that it is "regardless of the amount of money involved." I don't think so. Even if it is expected, anticipated, and you're even preparing for it, if it's a life-changing amount, it's always more exciting.

Unexpected wins excite more than expected wins and that's because you didn't see that coming, you didn't even plan that win, and it hit. I remember once a user was playing dice for the first time, he tried to place a bet to the biggest chance to win with all in, and by mistake he placed the lowest chance to win, but we all know how the newbies luck works, he won the bet and the profit was huge. So, that's the kind of unexpected win that can change your life, just think about the party he did for that win.

Unexpected wins may be more likely to excite players because there is no hope and plan from the start, but with players who have the goal of gambling to win, they certainly want the gambling they do to produce a win so they can have a certain target and when they have succeeded in getting a win, maybe this also excites them, or these two things are difficult to compare completely.
With those who gamble wisely, it seems that these two things do not have a big influence, so if the gambling they do can produce a win, they will take advantage of it and for those who gamble unwisely will continue to feel excited even though they get a small win and will make them continue gambling. It is indeed difficult to compare these two things, but I myself prefer unexpected wins.

Definitely, we credit our foresight and intuition when we win something we thought we measured and calculated before the game. But when we win by chance, it is imposing, and here we attribute luck solely to chance.

But if we talk about reasonableness, then for me, it is better to have an expected victory with a more probable win and a high stake than to twitch luck by the tail regularly.

I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.

Recently, I placed a bet on sports match, and somehow, I was very certain I was going to win it, the match started and at the end, I won my bet, odd was 1.4, not going to mention the amount I used for bet, but I won a good sum, i wasn't all that excited because it's a winning I had expected, in fact, I would have been more surprised if I hadn't won.

Then I remembered that some time ago, I was playing plinko with a random balance that was remaining on my account, I wasn't expecting any winnings, I just wanted to have fun and empty my balance, I set the risk level to "high" and was betting $0.1 on each ball that came down, I can't tell how many rounds I've played but soon enough, my account balance that was below $5 was already $40+, this money was not near the amount i won from sports betting but I was overly excited, possibly because I never really expected to win this much.

This is why I've come to this conclusion that winnings that are unexpected are more exciting than winning that have been predetermined/expected.

Feel free to comment your thoughts on this, or perhaps you have an experience to share, please feel free.

Yeah, I think the fact that something is unexpected clearly makes it more of a big deal in our brains.

If something is expected then it's kinda irrelevant and we just simply ignore it.

Our brains are great at doing this, just filtering out all the stuff that we know how to handle. Walking?, easy, you can do that without thinking, but try walking backwards, that will be much more difficult as you will require concentration...

It's something based on the idea that our brains have two ways of processing information. Thinking, Fast and Slow is a great book by Daniel Kahneman that explains this in more detail.

I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.

Normally, winning a game unexpectedly is more sweet and encouraging than winning an expected game. If you are expecting to win a game, you will definitely have a plan for that win, but if you just take the risk of playing without expecting any win and you end up winning, you will be the happiest person on this earth.
 
Although my experience on this was not a good one because most of the time if I am expecting to win a game, I mostly end up losing it, but any game that I don't expect to win, that is the game that I mostly win, so even if I am to gamble, I always keep in mind that I might win or lose, and I don't make it to myself like a most for me to win. That is how I actually play my game. I always expect the unexpected.

What make you excited is how and when the winning comes and how their are delivered to you as a gambler, truly anyone who have read what the ops wrote will understand his plight since majority's of us here have experienced something similar to that at some point in time while gambling.

There's no kind of winning that doesn't excite the gambler, what excite people the more is when they have won a huge amount of money. For example, if you stake $5 and won $15, you might feel a bit happy but when you stake $5 in some accumulator and at last all the selected game was successful and you realize you have won $1,500, you wouldn't know how to express your joy, because you will be extremely happy for staking such little amount and won a huge amount.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Of course, unexpected wins are more exciting, but I seriously doubt that this is always a good thing. An unexpected win is better than an unexpected loss and is always pleasant. But personally, I would prefer an expected win. After all, the unexpectedness of a win most often means that it is random for you. You could not predict it. You did not count on it. Should you rejoice in chance? Today you are lucky, but tomorrow you may be just as unlucky. And if today you feel happy about an unexpected win, then tomorrow you will feel sad about an unexpected loss in the same way.

[sompitonov]

Indeed, I have also noticed such emotions in myself, even when the bet is smaller than usual, but the event is much more unlikely. It just starts to surprise me, especially if it happens several times in a row. Maybe many people need to reconsider their interests in gambling and play enough with small bets and unlikely events. I think that I will never get tired of it. Another thing is that I do not like betting on small odds at all, I would say that 1.5 and higher are starting to please me, so lately I have been making similar bets and do not get very upset even when I lose.

[danherbias07]

Truly it is more exciting to win such a huge amount.

I personally was surprised by a max win in slots and that got me excited to play more slots although I don't want to go back to the previous one where I won it because I have this thought that they might get it back from me.
Recently, I won x900 in a local online gambling site and that got me more excited because now I know it is possible to receive such a high multiplier in that game.
But sadly, there's also that losing streak that we must be aware of because it happens way too much rather than how rare a big multiplier hit is. IMO, surprising wins even in sports betting are nice and I had also one good experience with that. I cashed out though when I saw how high the multiplier was.

[nara1892]

Basically I think winning is a situation that will always be fun regardless of whether you previously had expectations or not at all, but maybe I will also agree with the point of view of some people here that unexpected wins are indeed much more exciting, because when you do not have expectations for victory and it turns out that the victory occurs unexpectedly then it can really surprise you and feel disbelief that you can get that victory.

And also I think it also depends on how much you get, and how little capital you bring when you manage to achieve that big victory, because usually getting a large unexpected victory amount with only a small capital can be really exciting. But in the end and the point is there is no significant difference in these two things, because regardless of whether the victory is based on expectations or not, in the end it is still a fun situation.

When it comes to winning then its true that this is something that will really that make us that excited and this is really that a normal reaction for human beings to have.
We do really want nor like to win up gambling and doesnt matter whether an expected or unexpected one, we are all that thinking up this way and this is something that
will really be that normal approach for us who do gamble. The issue on here is that due to those expectation for winning then people do really end up on getting addicted.

This is why its really that important that on the moment that you do deal up with gambling then make it sure that you wont be finding yourself that becoming impulsive or really that too desperate.
You are the ones who would be needing up to have that control or else you would really be facing up such issues or problems.

It's excite you when you see that you are winning decently without anticipating, unlike with fixed odds where you already expecting that after you win your bet you'll take away such amount, but with unexpected wins like maximizing odds and place a bet just for fun then win the game, it also happened when taking heavy underdog then win with that big upset, that's really gives more pleasure and excitement, more on your emotions that feel the pleasure of extend enjoyment and fulfillment.

Unexpected wins vs expected wins, which excites the most? For me unexpected win is the best i mean not just in the sport bet sometimes it can be happen on any bet.

Let's say you play blackjack the best card game ever haha you see 11 on your deck you double the bet and you think you gonna lose but the dealer is bust. Oh man the double money flow is crazy delicious 🤤 hahah

[hahay]

For me, unexpected winnings and expected winnings will have the same pleasure because after all, even though we don't really expect to win because we also just bet randomly and just for fun but still, in our little hearts there will still be hope for victory regardless of the results. Therefore, for me, unexpected winnings are the same as expected winnings, I personally will not ignore such things. Although, I also realize that we also often have a remaining balance on the gambling platform and when we have free time, then at least we will also play it even though we don't expect to win but basically we as bettors will always have the hope of winning.

Yes, the difference is that from the start we see that we have a small chance so that most likely there will be no hope involved like when we choose an underdog club that will compete with a team that is always favored because of the difference in performance for example, and of course it is true as you said that when it turns out that the underdog team that we choose actually manages to win for some reason such as the opposing team making a mistake on the field then of course it is a victory that will be very surprising, not only for you who watch while betting money but also clearly for the fans. Actually if the scenario is like that then even if for example we do not involve betting then the joy that occurs unexpectedly will still be felt by you but when you see it while involving betting then clearly the level of joy can be more significant, so I quite agree that unexpected victories can be much more exciting than what was previously expected.

[libert19]

Unexpected, I mean in gambling everything is unexpected, your bet on 1.40 odds could go haywire too.

Though, I feel that excitement often depends on circumstances, God forbid if your financial condition were to be weak then you would have been more excited with sports bet win than the small plinko win.

[aioc]

I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.

Not only in gambling but on all things you receive unexpected results will thrill you more than what you anticipated, but its more thrilling when it's on gambling because there is an unpected money involved.

I have experienced it on one boxing match when, out of mistake, I bet on an underdog before where I gave up on my chances to win as the underdog was taking a beating, then in the final seconds he scored a win via a last second knockout.
It was unexpected who would have thought that a mistake in a bet would give me unexpected winnings.

[slapper]

You're damn right, it's about the surprise! The unexpected is what gives life value. Is winning a bet thrilling? Nah, the excitement, the uncertainty, the chance for the unanticipated that gets your pulse running

When you bet on sports, you're basically a prisoner to the odds. You are expecting for a particular result. It's mundane and predictable. Plinko is chaos, on the other hand. It's unpredictable, it's thrilling. Every win surprises you, a small win against all the odds. That is what remains with you

Think about it: you remember the underdog victories, the come-from-behind wins, not the expected blowouts. That is also true of your own life. The unanticipated successes and the times of surprise and pleasure define life's worth

[alastantiger]

I don't know about any other person but personally, I've come to discover that winnings that are unexpected excites the most than the winnings that are expected, regardless of the amount of money involved.

Unexpected wins excite me the most because I didn't expect the win to happen but somehow all wins are planned because no one is gambling to lose. We're all doing it because we believe that we can win hence when we finally do, we shouldn't be that surprised just as when we lose we aren't surprised because we expected it to happen.The most exciting win for me are unexpected huge wins that goes into thousands of dollars because it is big and I won't be expecting to win that much.

Sport betting are plan wins for me because I know the teams and play it save when I'm betting but with casino wins, they are unexpected because I didn't know if I'll win or not especially when I'm gambling on slots that are so unpredictable.
