Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Such psychological patterns are typical not only for casino games. And for sports betting too, and even for trading too. We know that, for example, in the crypto market, the bulk of inexperienced players come only after being impressed by the big wins of their friends or acquaintances. As soon as a large mass of inexperienced and non-professional participants comes to the market, crypto whales begin to unload their positions on them. Approximately the same thing happens in casinos. Big wins are relatively rare in casinos. But when they do happen, then the casino tries to advertise it in every possible way. People have a cognitive distortion - what attracts their attention seems to them to be an event that occurs more often.

That's why we said in life, everything is gamble. Other win big, maybe getting a car or a house. And so when we here it, maybe some of us would be envy of that person specially if we know him well throughout his life.

Similar in gambling stories that he heard, we can only wish that we are that person who won the lottery or the jackpot. With that, we will go and say to our selves that we will be the next millionaire. However, each of us are very different, our luck is not the same as the person who have won that lottery.

We know that winning is what everyone who gambles wants, whether they gamble for fun or just to fill their free time. Everyone who gambles definitely wants to be able to win a large amount, besides that, many people gamble with the intention and purpose of wanting to double their money with a small capital and wanting to be able to win big, but we must be aware that winning in gambling is not easy to get. The statement about having to risk a lot of money to get a big win is not certain, the size of the funds wagered will not guarantee that we can get a big win because winning in gambling is based on our own luck. I'm sure out there there are people who can get big wins with the funds allocated that are low and vice versa.

Indeed, there's no serious arguments against putting big risk is an assurance but that's what I've observed from random strangers I've known from different places. They're really exerting a lot of efforts just get that big catch of winning, eventually they'll taking successful bets and sometimes a failure. The more chances of winning depends on how a gambler managed his funds during the game regardless of how high is their potential of winning.

That is his statement and it is quite sad because the amount of effort they put in tends not to get them what they want, what happens is the opposite of what they want is a reality that often occurs. Sadly, there are still many people who gamble with the wrong assumption that they think they can get a big win easily and will make a good career, even though that is just the first door to their suffering.
With no clear certainty of being able to win, this should be one of the things that must be realized, even though we see our friends get a big win and hear, see, and maybe even feel the victory they get because they are treated to a drink by a friend who wins, but don't let us get carried away if we can also get what our friends get, because luck no one knows when it will happen, while winning in gambling tends to depend on our luck.

Sadly there is nothing for anyone to do to ensure that they will by gambling because most games in gambling are not skill based not even knowledge based. All you need is a lot of luck and it’s  not something you can acquire by force.

Maybe if we were talking about a specific profession or investment project then we can apply the mindset of “if he can do it, then so can i” but in gambling? Forget about it. It doesn’t work like that.

Yes, that is the use or function of self-control, which in addition to preventing you from the possibility of greed, can also prevent you from significant regret and also give you the opportunity to enjoy money from winning when at that time you managed to achieve a number of wins.
On the other hand, we must remember that different times will also have different results, or what is meant is even though for example now you have managed to win, it does not mean that victory will come again when you choose to continue the game because of the urge of greed.

Another thing related to choosing the right casino, of course, it should be done if you have the ability to distinguish between which casinos are safe and which casinos have the potential to commit fraud, meaning that we are advised not only to focus on various preventive measures but also to pay attention to various other things that can also cause problems.

Self control surely help you from anything bad that already happened to many gamblers. You won't that bad experience because you know how to avoid it so gambling will not be bad for you. There will be no urge to keep playing gambling especially for chase the win because you know that will not be easy for you or anyone. So you just playing gambling and enjoy your moment in gambling.

You can choose the right casino for you and avoids the casino that looks suspicious because you can learn from other people experience. It is better we prevent than have the problem because that will be difficult to solve. And when someone win from gambling, you will not trigger to try playing gambling using more money because you will reminds that playing gambling needs luck to win.

Well, the possibility of a big win is what usually attracts us to bet. It's like the EuroMillions lottery, the possibility of winning tens or even hundreds of millions if there's a jackpot is what makes you buy tickets, even if the objective probability of winning is very close to 0. What you have to be aware of is how unlikely it is that you will win a lot in relation to what you bet, and not compulsively spend your month's salary because you hear that someone else has won a good amount.

The worst mistake you would make as a gambler is to have inspiration from a blockbuster win you heard about and start gambling more with the intention of winning like the other person. You are heading straight to addiction and the possibility of the negative consequences are high. Also people share their success stories and never their failures, so before you believe that the person is so lucky, try she hear the ugly side off his journey to accertain if you can also beat possibly going through that dark part or even worse case scenario.

All that glitters are not good and most especially in gambling, there is more possibility of recording loses than gaining, so we must be careful of the kind of motivation we welcome in our gambling life.

Yes, that's right, the simple meaning is that no one will ever be interested in getting involved in gambling if there is no money behind it as a reward, especially if the amount of winnings is very large, and as you said that's what makes people interested in gambling.
On the other hand, as you said, what gamblers should be aware of is how small the chances of winning are, many people gamble at the same time to get the big jackpot provided by the casino and of course the chances are very small to be the only one or one of the gamblers who managed to get the jackpot unless you are really lucky, but unfortunately usually gamblers always feel that they are one of the lucky ones out of 100 gamblers who play at the same time, that's the disease.

There are two different types of people on the moment that they do win up something big on which there would be those people or types that they do really want to flex or boast up their winnings publicly which dont care whether their friends or the public would really be able to see their winnings. They would really be that proud of on what they do have get or won atm. It will really be giving out that kind of feeling on which they will really be having those thoughts that it will really be something that proves out that they are lucky. For those people who do able to see around then it would really be that up to them whether they will really be having such
 kind of boost up of emotions on trying out to achieve on what those other gamblers been able to achieved?

On the time that you cant be able to control your emotions then you will really be that most likely be ending up on having such problem on where you would really be assuming that you could be able to get or experience
on the same situation or scenario into that someone whom you do able to look upon. If you wont really be that careful about your emotions and mindset then likely you will really be that desperately be doing gambling like a mad man on which you will really be having those assumptions that you could be able to win up on the same thing or situation.

There's a limitation on how we should be proud to our wins. It's understandable if someone speaks out loud in the public with the friends because it's probably that's just how natural the tone of their voice.

But if it's too much and you don't want to engage with any conversation to them, it's best to just go away and avoid them.

And never be too jealous to their talks if you've got your own successful bets. Your time will come at the right time and forum where you can discuss and talk about it freely with whoever you're right.

Yeah, the big winning opportunities given by the gambling platform to the gamblers are what often makes more people interested in gambling there, even though the chances of winning are usually lower than usual, but that doesn't matter to them, because it's like a hope for them to try to get something that can change their lives. and even though they are likely to lose, it doesn't matter because at least they have tried and if they are lucky they can win big.

One of the reasons why people are so attracted to gambling is because of the big winning opportunities provided by the casino, sometimes there are always some of them who really bet large amounts of money or the last money they have, even though it is clear that the chances of winning are quite small which means the possibility of experiencing defeat is much greater.

Actually there is nothing wrong with gambling because in any case the bad impact of gambling depends on how a gambler treats his gambling activity, in the sense that if they bet with an amount they can afford to lose then the bad impact will not befall them, but unfortunately only a small part of the gamblers think in that direction, most of them always act excessively and recklessly in making decisions.

Another thing is that it is okay to be attracted to the big winning opportunities provided by the casino as long as you really understand and are aware of the risks so that significant regret does not befall you.

True, many people also know everything behind the scenes of how gambling works, the chances of winning in the lottery, and the risk involved in spending your own money. The possibility of a big win is usually what attracts us to bet.
It’s more natural to feel excited when you hear about someone won a big jackpot or see others hit it big in lucky games, slots or table, and it’s even a part of why lotteries and high stakes games are so tempting to play. But it’s important to remember that those big winners are very rare and a tight chance , and the odds are stacked against us.

While betting for fun with limits in place, and viewing any opportunity to win as a bonus rather than a necessity, keeps the experience enjoyable and under control.Chasing the money you have lost is not an act of responsibility, it’s important to know that this activity is risky if you don’t understand it.

[tusandii]

It's worrying also to see how tempting it can be, especially when people are caught up in the excitement, but I feel like I need to step back and share my story among with the feelings I got towards it. Anyone else feeling this pressure too? Let’s have a discussion and share your opinions.

That's what happened to me a few years ago, hanging out with friends and then the discussion turned to gambling and all the big win stories came flooding in. Not long after that I felt a strong pressure & intention to gamble, you know what happened then? I got a big win like my friends stories. I realized it was not a good habit, I still gamble now, but I stopped gambling because of the pressure.

Hearing someone can win a large amount of money from gambling does sometimes arouse the desire for other gamblers to do the same thing and they think they will get lucky like the person in the story but the percentage of winning from gambling is very small and uncertain if we gamble with such encouragement of course it is not good and will cause anxiety when we fail to win the gambling that we initially hoped for instead losing money that you yourself are not willing to lose it is important not to be easily tempted by other people's wins because each person has a different fate of luck.

[Mpamaegbu]

What’s more worrying to me is that the casino they are using seems suspiciously relatedr to one known scam casino around here. I won’t mention its name because I don’t want to promote something shady, but it definitely raises much red flags as it's targeting my region now.

There used to be a popular one here a year or two years ago. I guess we are talking about the same site. Anyway, that's how most casinos and betting sites are built – just to scam most gamblers. They allow a few win so they can get that euphoria out there and get many more hooked on it. People don't as fast as share their loses as they would do their wins. It's the few wins out there which are often exaggerated that end up convincing others and more victims fall in.

This is something very natural that we can feel when we hear someone has won a large amount. The urge will always be there and we may even be curious about what game they are playing and start thinking about playing the same game. Sometimes we forget for a moment that our luck and those who win big are different.
But when I started to realize that different luck, it could suppress the desire to play when I saw other people win big. Especially if we no longer have a budget that we can use for gambling. Because when we follow that desire, we may not be ready to lose money.

The mechanism of gambling is to build a golden city in the subconscious of those who come here, just by visiting this city, considering the values ​​that this city provides, visitors will constantly urge themselves to invest here to receive an additional part of the benefits but on closer inspection it is a temptation, a trap, spreading exaggerated rumors, throwing out great victories as well as legends of achievements, thousands of people do not think much to join in to become a gold digger king, looking for a vacant position to dig and the quicksand will bury them

[Orpichukwu]

This is you being you, thinking about the possibilities of winning and that of losing, calculating the chances, and knowing fully well that it's based on luck to win the jackpot, and our luck defers, but someone somewhere is still very intriguing: if the last person was able to win the jackpot while can't they, must they be the shortest finger among others? Until some gamblers develop that knowledge of knowing that gambling results are not in their position to control, a lot will be hit by great disappointment.

The feeling is real, I myself have experienced it when I gambled with friends together but the results that each of us got were different, with me failing to win while my friend managed to win even a big win that he got, it made me jealous but fortunately I could still control myself well. I can't imagine if my self-control was lost, maybe what would happen is that I would continue to gamble without thinking about the money I lost.

You are right, we should not be easily influenced by the wins that other people get because it is possible that it will only make us continue to gamble. We should be aware of being able to gamble well and be aware that winning depends on each person's luck, maybe today is not our lucky day but another time maybe luck will be on our side.

In recent years, especially when I saw big winners in slot games, my desire to gamble increased. I was particularly intrigued by the replay videos of Pragmatic Games. After a while, I realized that even if I didn't gamble, I was spending a lot of time watching streamers gamble on Kick, and I started to question myself. Now, I only focus on sports betting. Slot games are really fun, but for someone like me who struggles with self-control, they can be very risky.

Alot time it's always as this having dropped a particular act and boom out of pressure and much energy from people your surrounded with you end up finding yourself doing that same thing you've definitely Zeroed your mind not to. Well it's great that you had a win after all but it's best to keep up to your decisions inorder not to have regrets later on. Just like dropping smoking and then finding yourself around friends that does it and you had to join in again it's really disheartening tho standing on one's decisions it's quite a huge task but it ought to be.

People will always be surrounded by temptations and it is really hard to resist them, but to give in to the feeling of fear of missing out on something interesting just because someone nearby won a big win is not very rational. Every minute someone wins at gambling, but that doesn't mean you should put all your money on the line. Greed is what often gets us into trouble, so there is no point in chasing the winnings. During such a chase, more often than not, people spend all their money.
