Something funny happened to me today

I hope this will serve as a lesson to some people that can make this kind of mistake. The reason I brought it here.

Mistakes like this are indeed quite annoying, especially when the team we should have chosen actually wins the match in the end, it's like we are the stupidest people in the world for not crosschecking first before actually making the slip, even though it should only take a few seconds to make sure everything is correct before placing a bet. But fortunately in your case you didn't place a large bet, at least you were still lucky in that case, and hopefully it will be an important lesson for all of us here to always check everything before placing a bet.

This kind of thing happens to almost all gamblers. If you created a thread asking how many times you thought you were betting on a certain team or value and actually did something different, you would be surprised at how many users would respond. We usually spend our days on so-called “autopilot”, we barely read the text, we just skim it quickly and believe we've seen enough.

Thank goodness the loss wasn't that big, otherwise you wouldn't say something funny happened…

You're right majority of gamblers do make such mistake more especially for those gamblers who prefer playing casino and virtual games, because once they noticed that the time is against them at this point they will  be rushing to bet before the time will get exhausted, and  in the process of rushing to stake the game sometimes you can even end up clicking on the event you don't even intend to click in the first place, so I think sometimes this happens as a result of being curious.

I had a mistake in my past betting. I had taken a bet where I had selected the wrong team. But I didn't know at the time. But when I won according to the bet, I was very excited because the return on my betting odds was very high. When I logged into my account, I saw that no money had been added to my account. I was shocked to see the result of the settled bet. I was so upset that I can't explain it. If I had lost the bet with the team, it wouldn't have cost me anything but when I placed money on the wrong bet, it hurt me a lot and since then I have always been very careful in placing bets so that such mistakes are not repeated.

I thought I chose Chelsea but I chose a different club.



I know the odds are very similar to what the odd would have been for the Chelsea versus Tottenham that has just been played. Chelsea won.

When the match ended, I checked my Stake.com account to see the little amount that I won but I did not see anything. I clicked on settled bet to know that I chose another league.

I laughed immediately. I can not say I am happy about it but I am neither sad and I am chilling right now and excited. Just a tiny amount of money.

Shit happens but the bit exciting part of what you've experienced is how you were able  to handle it without letting it affect your emotions, I love what you did, taking about the amount involved, it might be small but the truth is that if it were to be sole persons they wouldve been bothered very much but your composure is a topnotch.
Though I have heard this experience but the good thing is that I won about 2 different slips that same day so that particular one that I mistakenly made a wrong selection on didn't have any effect on me, actually this what gamblers encounters and that's why if you're not a person that have control over your emotions, you are not supposed to get yourself involved in gambling.

I think this should be something all gamblers should learn from by cross checking there prefered selections before placing there bets in other not to blame themselves later when the game might have been concluded.

See? This is what I was saying in other thread on here where other members are talking about missing out on a big win because of a game gone wrong, if the money staked isn't very big you won't feel the pain so much.

The odd is not very big and you lose the game, you now can't tell if you are sad or happy, yet you are about to laugh about it, this is the way, the way of a true responsible gambler.

Next time always make sure your check again before the match begins, because if you don't learn from this small mistake you will likely make a similar one maybe bigger than this some other day.

I don’t know what’s the real odds of your bet if you place it on the correct team but I’m sure you are checking on the odds before you bet that’s why you click place bet after seeing the odds is low to have an assurance that it’s the strong team.

Do Chelsea FC have low odds against Tottenham on the league that you choose? Because this is painful if the odds is high while the correct league that you bet win too.

Anyway a win is a win. Cheer up!

Sorry for your mistake. I never knew that a club like this exist probably you too.

Most mistakes come from being a haste because sometimes we want to hastily bet on it before they kick start the match.

A lesson has been learnt by you and most of us to be careful. Sometimes the mistake also comes in over staking but the good thing is that it is small amount.

However, what I like that you have done is that it is a single game that you have bet except you only screenshot this particular game.

[cabron]

Its a simulation but why is Stake adding this simulation on the same category. It should have been indicated well to avoid confusion between the real match and the SRL. Maybe adding it on the Virtual sports category will prevent this from happening again. It wouldn't surface on your favorite sports to bet on.

Its a small amount though and I guess a laugh and let this slide for now. But if you make same mistake, that would really be costly already.

Perhaps you were too panicked and too excited to bet on this match. And you were too confident in Chelsea that you didn't cross check what you were doing when you placed the bet. Anyway, this is a new experience that will remind you to remember this and cross check when placing any bet in the future. Some mistakes sometimes cause small losses but save us from much bigger losses later. Your mistake may be one of those mistakes.

It happens mostly when the site doesn't load well time it makes one click the wrong space you may want to choose Manchester City as the winner but instead the bet will be like a draw.

Well, all the best and wishing the luck you deserve to win the bet despite betting outside your analysis, an error like this can still give you the best of luck and seeing the odds is also encouraging.

I don't think I have experienced this as a result of site issue, simulated games are always part of the option but most times the acronym which is srl doesn't show until you click on the game fully especially when the club names are lengthy. And you are right, this error might not change anything but it's still too risky, if you carefully place a bet of arsenal to score over 1.5 goals against their opponent and that bet is based on analysis picking an srl game might give you a different result because those games are based on computer programs.

This is really funny though and do you realize what you played was not actually a live game rather it was a simulated game that is just like virtual game that has been programmed. However, I think you just wanted to try your luck and it was unfortunate for you though sometimes what they play real live is what they will play in simulated and I have witnessed and I have also win from it before.

I know mistakes like this happen. It does happen to me when I'm in a hurry and I just want to stake and move on to something else and come back later to check the results. And yeah, when things like this happen, you know, you have to have emotional control as a gambler. You don't get worked up over it. You just laugh at it and move on and be careful next time. Luckily, you didn't stake a very huge amount, so just be careful with your stake next time, not to stake on simulated reality leagues because it's programmed and  your chances of winning are not that much.

This is an oversight, it is a common mistake that is prevalent in platform that have simulated games of the various major leagues. I have not made such mistake before but I have seen many people who made such mistakes. You just need to be more careful to avoid this kind of mistake although it can turn out to be good for you because what you chose by mistake will work while what you wanted to chose may fail. Such mistake is not good though, hence the need to be extremely careful and to double check everything before placing the bet.

Yes, sometimes we get too excited. Because we are too confident about that matter. We can say with 100% guarantee that it will happen. But because of that excitement, we sometimes make mistakes that we should never have made.

@op You did the same thing. Now we have to accept it. Because there is no recovery for that mistake. You knew that day what the result would be. That is why you get too excited and mistakenly click somewhere else. It gets to a point where you or we cannot take it back even if we want to. So we have to leave it completely to fate. And we have to accept everything with a light smile.

[348Judah]

Anyone is bound to make mistakes, we must be ready to face any consequence that follows the actions we made, that is why we should always avoid being distracted when doing something, not to also act quick without making verification over what we have seen or trying to do, things like this have cost a lot on people losing money for nothing, now in this, we already know that the blame can't be placed on anyone than our own personal self.

Sorry for the mistake op. I've had my own share of mistake too, believe me. For example, there was I time I wanted to bet a match over 2.5 goals and I mistakenly choosed under 2.5 goals, but I've never made your kind of mistake because you went for is stimulated football instead of real football. This is the reason why it's good for one to bet in a quiet environment and also to be in a relaxed state of mind to avoid something like this from happening.

You choose the Simulated Reality League and in there any result can happen, they are being played by some guys in a gaming place I believe (not sure about it) in a gaming platform and people are betting on these guys, how stupid is this I have no idea but it is very popular as a lot of people bet on such leagues. I did also when I had my account at Stake and placed only over goals in these type of leagues because usually there happen some goals in here. The fact that you bet without checking what you are doing served a good lesson to you and that lesson is to be very specific regarding which league you want to bet and be very careful to the events you choose to bet on. Better late than never as people say. For me this is not funny at all despite the small amount but if you say it is funny good for you then.

Sometimes you just want bet on a club and move to other important task. This mistake is common when when you are placing bets in an uncomfortable environment.  In some work places every worker are forbidden to gamble. But some point you horridly place bets during work hours and they might make mistakes since they are doing it with tension or the fear of being caught by supervisors.

I see you didn't understand what he wrote at all.
The odds are low (and close to the odds of the real team) since this is not a bet on a win but a Double Chance - a win or a draw.
Secondly, he lost his bet. If it was real football (where Chelsea won) he would have won, but in the simulated version, Tottenham won.
In fact, it’s a rather unpleasant event, but this note “SRL” is striking, I don’t know how it was possible not to notice it.

[Justbillywitt]

Have found myself in similar situation like this in the past, where I thought I selected a team that I intended to pick that won. It was also a premier league team too. I placed the bet online, and I didn't check the match till the end of the game. I went to my neighbour's shop and got something on credit, you know that feeling when you you know you have won a bet. Hoping that when I login to my account, I will withdraw the money I won and pay my neighbour. Though it wasn't much items I bought. But to my greatest suprise, when I logged in I didn't see the congratulatory message I usually get when I won a bet, I was surprised. I checked the bet slip to know what's actually going on. It was then I noticed that I picked the wrong game which was under the actual team I wanted to bet on. Unlike you, I was so sad because I had concluded that I had won a bet. Can't forget that experience.
