Which one is more painful for you

[laijsica]

Gambling is not like the way it's has been always profitable for many of us. 

Of course gambling is no longer working as it used to work before, I could remember those days when we keep hearing success stories about how a gambler hit 1m in gambling, and this keep trending both in social media platforms and as well offline. But nowadays I think the rate at which gamblers is wining from gambling have reduced more than that of the early stage when the system was not filled up with gamblers.

There is a logical reason for this. Most online scammers have set up a trap for you and are trying to trick you. Your source of entertainment from reliable casinos and gambling sites is getting narrower. Experienced gamblers may be getting the entertainment they expect from reliable gambling sites and winning from them, but for the relatively newbies finding and choosing the right gambling site can be challenging. I think the ideal of entertainment exists in offline gambling but it fades a bit on online platforms and the tendency to extort money through fraud is high, which creates frustration among gamblers. Experienced gamblers should determine the recommended gambling platforms so that their losses can be reduced.

There are two types of pain to deal with when gambling and losing.

1. The first one is the money you risk and lose.
2. When the money you almost win is very big.

Losing money when gambling is already a major risk because the comparison of experiencing defeat is much greater than getting the victory. If we realize that it certainly will not hurt.

Taking steps to continue the game even though you have won is much more painful because the decision we made to continue betting did not produce any results, in the end all we get is regret, the money that we have clearly obtained cannot be owned, it is all gone, nothing is left.

2. When the money you almost win is very big.

I am a conservative gambler and careful with my funds, so I would say that the second option is more painful for me.

Although I always have a set budget for my bets and never bet more than I can afford to lose, the idea of ​​almost winning a large amount of money and losing it is much more frustrating than losing the money I initially bet because when I bet, I knew there was a risk of losing and I was prepared for it. However, when I am close to winning a large amount of money, I start to dream about the possibilities and think about how I can use that money to improve my life or achieve my goals.

When I miss out on that opportunity, I feel a sense of regret and frustration because I know I was close to achieving something big... whereas losing the money I initially bet is easier to deal with because I knew there was a risk of losing and I was prepared for it.

Yes, I can feel the annoyance. That ghost of the win is basically blue-balling you, the universe, or the house. You begin to fantasize about upgrading as you spend the spoils in your mind. That's not like losing your stake entirely. The score is known and the possibility of a tie or a loss is accepted when placing a bet.

The "almost-win", though? That represents a higher order headfuck. The destruction of the almost-reality you lived for a second marks more than just the loss of the money. The hope felt more like a confirmed signal, momentarily true than it did just hope. Then, poof. Your predictive mind is about to take a swift and decisive hit. A clean loss lets you start over. This almost-miss leaves a residue, a poisonous "what if" that taints your judgment. You're not just sad about losing the money; you're also dealing with a fake glimpse of a different life, a psychological trick meant to make the loss feel personal and targeted. It's more about your intentional weaponizing of your own expectations than about the result of the gamble.

People generally do not like to lose their money. That is why many people do not gamble at all. They are afraid.

For a beginner, losing your own money is especially painful. A beginner does not yet know how to set ambitious goals in the form of a big win. This requires a certain amount of gaming experience. A certain amount of time must pass.

However, over time, the player begins to set such ambitious goals. And at this point, a new fear begins to form in the player - the fear of not getting a big potential win as a result.

And this fear is actually greater than the initial fear of losing real money, which is typical for a beginner.

This is probably one of the most unique descriptions I've read on this forum. I don't know if I've experienced something as dramatic as that, but I do occasionally remember some mistakes and regrets when I'm bored. Stuff like "why don't I sell this or that, I'd make some decent profits after that" always shows up every once in a while, even outside of gambling.

Fortunately, I don't feel that the universe is actively against me. It probably helped that some of my decisions turned out to be a blessing in disguise, even though I'm still not as lucky as others.

Taking steps to continue is what becomes the problem most of the time. I don't think this can be removed from the mindset of other gamblers who win but end up losing in the end. But if they could just practice the limits of gambling, if they are really disciplined as gamblers, it is certain that they will not continue playing when they see that they have won.

But that is not usually what happens to gamblers, but they are also always the ones who make excuses to hurt themselves in the end. Of course, they have already been hurt in the end.
The decision they made cannot be undone.

All depends on the financial situation and capacity of the gambler, there are people who have alot of money even before they get into gambling, for such people, it is assumed that they won't be that afraid to lose money so long as the amount the spend on bet is within the amount of money they can afford to easily let go..

The problem is with poor and average people who are still struggling to feed well, let alone sparing some fund to spend on gambling, this is why I often say that gambling was really not supposed to be for the poor and average people, but unfortunately, it seems that it's even the poor and average people who gamble the most because they are in search of an easy breakthrough to a life of riches and wealth, for some, they end up succeeding, but for others, gambling just end up being a means for them to lose they little they have, unfortunately.

OP's thinking is simple, losing gambling while using money that should be used for daily needs. Or, almost winning a lot of money, but take a risk to not to making a withdrawal until losing everything because continued betting.

In my opinion, the most painful is the first one. Because it is mentioned that using money to take risks, if the money is not free money, then he will be regret and feeling pain because that are allocated for daily needs ^{(for example)} , but because he was taking a risk with gambling, unfortunately he loses all of his money. Almost winning and losing, this can be interpreted, even if you lose it doesn't matter, because there is a money saving for shopping or daily needs.

In short, experience. If a gambler has never yet experienced losses in an amount that he/she cannot even think of then it will be difficult to accept the initial losses. Most will quit and just let it go, and I think that's a good thing. But for those who cannot accept their losses and still have the ability to deposit, it will be a long fight for them.

Sometimes, gamblers forget what their purpose of gambling is. Others would just like to have fun, but because they are vengeful, they tend to stay and fight back. This is actually where it all goes wrong, and frustration will happen.

It is certainly very painful when you are on the verge of a big win in gambling and then lose. That moment is very exciting and then there is a great joy of winning. When that joy goes in vain, it is very painful. It is easy to accept a loss after placing a bet in gambling, but it is much more difficult to accept a loss once it going  to winning moment. However, when starting to gamble, it is important to remember that the money deposited for gambling can be lost at any time.

Yes, I agree with you. Usually, if you have a great fear of losing money, you will definitely lose it. Such fears come true and lead to negative results.

A poor person with limited finances plays too carefully, while he may not have the opportunity to take advantage of his lucky break - after all, he must constantly save his money (and not take risks).

I remember reading an article by a mathematician who argued that the casino owner has an advantage over roulette players not because the wheel has sectors such as "0" and "00", but because the player has a limited amount of money, and the casino has an almost infinite amount. If one casino runs out of money, it will be brought from another casino.

And for the player, if he runs out of money, the game itself ends with it, and he will have to go home. No one will play with him on credit.

Now ask yourself which one makes you feel pain even more? On my own part, losing what I risked is very easy for me, it is still money but it is the type that I can afford to lose.

How much damage can $3 do to someone who makes some hundreds of dollars per month? I can only feel the pain if the amount I almost successfully grabbed is very big.

Normally it is a bit more tricky to win large amount with small amount of money, but we move, how about you?

Losing & winning is a common thing in gambling, everyone must have felt it. So, I don't think it will have any impact, but if it's talking about big wins, not everyone has ever felt it. It becomes a rare moment & when it passes, I think the curiosity & desire to get it's even greater. For those reasons, I chose to be painful to almost get a very big win.

I would say the both is painful but the second is more painful, firstly before going into gambling you have two things in mind winning or losing so when it happens you rejoice but when it didn’t come definitely you will be sad but before you risk it gamblers have one mindset which is money they can afford to loss so it can’t really get to them , but the most painful one is when the money they  almost win is very big , yes imagine you are about to hit a jack pot but with a twinkle of eye everything vanish , the trauma , the sadness and pains it can cause when you are almost at your peak or verge of winning big and can even lead to depression but the money you risk can’t really caused you that kind of pains.

I also agree with you, if we expect a lot about something, but at the last moment if we do not get that thing, then this matter becomes much more sad for us. And we also know very well that nothing is guaranteed in gambling, so why would we go to expect too much where everything is uncertain? And gamblers do not want to understand this matter in any way, they should try to understand the reality, in sports the situation changes at any time, so we should never make any decision by expecting too much in such an unexpected place. Because this increases our disappointment, so we should not only think about winning but also be equally prepared for losing.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Losing is always the most painful. It doesn't matter if it was a lot or a little. For me, there is no such thing as “almost winning”, you either win or you lose, it's that simple. You don't feel sad because you almost won, you feel sad because you lost.

Losing has always been a bigger problem for me, I am not someone who likes to lose in general. When I lose, I can take more risks to win, but in order to be aware of this, I distance myself from making decisions emotionally, it is not always possible to protect this, I just control my emotions a little more each time, in short. It is painful to lose big money, but the real thing is to lose your own money.

There is no money that we gamble with that is not put at risk, and as such I literally don't feel too bad if the money I gambled is lost when my prediction doesn't go as planned. Because what seem to be the most painful scenario in gambling is when you might have placed a multiple bet slip of 10 games, and the first 9 played and you were given a very huge cash-out, but due to over confidence you refused to cash-out but waited for the last game to play, but only to be disappointed as the last game cut and you end up losing all your money without receiving a penny. That's the most painful scenario in gambling. Because I have been in such scenario many times, and today I no longer wait for my complete bet slip to play in full if I'm lucky enough to have the first 5 to 7 games play. As most times I always makw double bets, so that if I cash out one, I could leave the other to play full.

And this fear is actually greater than the initial fear of losing real money, which is typical for a beginner.

Setting bigger goals is not bad, what is wrong is that the big goals cannot be covered with our financial capacity, if we play with more money, that money that we put at risk is because we can put it at risk without compromising any basic needs or distorting our life, but if you commit more money without having financial solidity then you are making many mistakes in just 1 step , that is what must be considered, from there comes the saying of losing only what we are willing to lose.

Thing is the casino runs on your ego - if your ego is such that you cannot accept a loss and continue to chase the loss, the casino will whole-heartedly accept your money with open palms.

The fact that we gamble with the hidden desire to make money is the reason why we tend to have that pain. To prevent this, stop the notion that casinos are places to make money for the player. If you keep telling yourself this, eventually you grow a thick skin and this prevents you from playing at the casino and wasting your money.

Correct, in order to stop that attack on your "ego" or in anyone's "ego", one first need to understand casinos are not charity organizations, but rather companies and businesses with need to secure a reliable source of income, which source of income is their losing gamblers m(the majority of gambler lose money, anyways.
It is matter lo learn how to enjoy the moment and have some company to gamble with and turn gambling into a social activity of possible, so you switch the objective: now you are not there to make money, but rather to have fun with whoever you decided to invite.

I agree with what you say bro , currently social networks show us a face of what can be and do in the casino, I consider that above all the person who is going to play and invite someone should be clear about how the casino works, its business and its way of making money , considering the house advantage and that our chances of making money are there, but it is not an obligation that the casino has to reward us because we entered , if those things are clear we will avoid many headaches.
