Double when you win, or double when you lose?

[sompitonov]

Bankroll management with a fixed amount can feel boring sometimes, that’s why we get tempted to switch it up and try different betting styles. Not quite Martingale, but upping the stakes occasionally definitely adds more thrill.

Between the two options, which one do you think actually delivers more wins than losses in the long run for you?

Thats a tough one,  long term though I'd say double when you win. When you're on a streak and you're feeling good and are on a jody high roller kinda night I just feel like those always play out pretty good for me. Trying to double up after a loss is painful and if you lose again you're cooked.

I think it should be a more balanced decision, taking into account what proportion of the bet we are going to double, our morale, our willingness to take risks, and also predict how upset we will be if we lose or win this bet and get joy from it. I think all this together should give us a better decision whether to double or not our bet at this moment. Sometimes I may not do it, and on another day I will do it differently, so there is no universal answer to this question, we always have to consider individually, based on many specific conditions of each player.

Individual approach, how to double in case of loss, but as soon as I win I immediately return to the usual bet? Of course you can do this, but in case of a series of losses you can lose the entire deposit and this can happen quite quickly. My position in this approach is unchanged, I am against doubling the bet, no matter whether it was a loss or a win, you can win the next bet, without doubling and this will cover your previous loss and it will be much safer than doubling every time you lose.

Combine both options depending on my own feeling and guts. Both options are risky so we should be ready to accept the fact that if we lose it, we should not regret our decision. Double when you win may give us bigger win when we are lucky while double when we lose may recover our previous lose but at the same time both options may lead us into a complete loss. Any decision has its own consequence so ask ourselves whether we can take the consequences or not before we decide what to do.

No doubling at all. Win or lose. That's what I do. I don't really mind just playing on the same amount at every roll or even in sports betting because I don't want to have that greedy habit that could also ruin me in the long run. I think I am satisfied adding some spice on the sports games by adding a bet on it.

Let's not waste too much money in gambling. If we win, let's withdraw and enjoy it. If we lose then stop for a moment and think about whether we should deposit more or we can take the day off and just call it a day.

Trying to double the bet in the long term I think it is not effective to do, although there will be a different sensation but if done continuously, it will be easy to quickly experience losses. But if only done occasionally this method is a natural thing but we must also always check the amount of capital available to bet

Come on let us be sincere here, increasing the amount you stakes could only be thrilling if we are winning because it as well increase the RTP but if when the looses are coming then it becomes frowning because we will be running out of our bankrolls as quickly while maintaining our initial staking decisions accordingly to our bankrolls will keep us going for a longer time.

There is no accuse about it, increasing your wager is a course of greeds because of not chasing big wins there is no other felling that would opt us to going against our management when our source of income has not also increased since we calves out our gambling budgets from our incomes.

[hyudien]

Sometimes I also do this occasionally but in my winning position I double the bet if previously luck was on my side and it doesn't matter if I lose at that time because I am aware of the risks that will happen to me later but for option no. 2 I don't do it, I have to be disciplined in spending money if I lose I won't try again especially by increasing the bet.

Trying to double your bet in the long term is not effective, as stated elsewhere in other posts, they are techniques studied at the table to push you to play, more and more and more money.
You don't have to fall into these traps, just think of gambling as a pastime.

You are not better than a martingale gambler if you double your risk after winning or losing. I see that as impulsive, and it can't take you anywhere.

It's better to maintain a neutral standard in gambling and follow a good budget and money/risk management. Nothing better than sticking to a particular wagering amount and keeping it the same throughout the gambling session. This helps you build stability, otherwise, emotion might set in, and you will triple, quadruple, or even more with the risk if care is not taken.

I tend to increase my bets when I win, thinking I was lucky this time. But I stop then when losses occur. What I did was to make a balance of the situation. I could go wrong with this strategy, but I tried because I wanted to know. I only chase winning, not losses. But I still know that whatever strategy I use, I will lose. So I would say that gambling is not a tool to make us rich. We can win, but talking about the amount we lost will surely be more. We don't want to discourage people, but I believe it was their right to know exactly.

That's actually what gamblers should do, but most people can't do it, some because they can't control their emotions once they lose, some because they want to have some fun when they win, so they go ahead and increase their bets. The ones who had lost do it to recover their losses, and the ones who won do it to experiment with the money they've already won, only to see if they can win more with it or not. However, as you said, it's carelessness, and one should be aware of the possible outcomes and then decide whether they want to do it or not.

Usually, those who do it for fun or experiment wouldn't be bothered much even if they lose, but the ones who double it because they've just lost the previous bet and want to recover their money, they will have a hard time letting it go and going back to their original betting amount because now they have lost more money and they want to recover that as well.

I watched how one successful (according to him) bettor reasons, the point is that every time he wins he starts to reduce the bet amount, his decision is based on probabilities, since he believes that with each subsequent bet the probability of his loss increases. And when he loses he starts to increase the bet, the point is the same, it is based on probabilities and with each loss he expects that his next bet will be a winner. I don’t do this, all my bets are equal, but this method has something to think about.

Once you dont have that such control then you are that bound on experiencing up the worst specially on affecting out your financial condition. Double when you win? thats a sign of greediness on which we know that its been always the bad thing specially when dealing up with gambling. Same goes with on doubling your bet amount when you do lose then this shows that you are already that addicted into it because you cant just that accept that you would be having that loses on that particular time then it do shows that you have lost your sane at the moment that you do experience loses on which this is the most cases on which people or gamblers do able to experience on. The best thing to do is always be considerate into the amount that you are currently that being doing and not just that making yourself that going or proceeding without having those risks management or simply handling up with your entire gambling capital or bankroll. Once you do make yourself being impulsive or becoming that too naive or numb about financial handling then it will be resulting into those regrets later on on which at the moment that you are experiencing financial struggles or unfortunate conditions then this is when the time that you do find yourself having no money left to get into your pocket and already affecting overall your finances. Gambling should be fun and entertaining and not something that becomes stressful or something that could make your life miserable. Never make yourself having that kind of mentality that gambling could make you rich or making it as a source of income because once you do then this what pushes you to play further and wont stop as long you do have the money into your account account or pocket then you will still continue on what you are currently doing. So its good that you should be wary into the actions that you are taking rather than on becoming impulsive.

That's why you get tempted, not me lol, that fixed amount is what's guiding you from every disadvantages of gambling, you choose to break the boundary so embrace whatever comes next for doing that.

If your fixed amount is too low for you then find a way to make more money so that you can increase your gambling bankroll, the so called thrill that you are looking for is really not thrill, I believe it is you trying to spend more time with gambling believing that you can win if you do so.

I wonder what you will do if you win, it looks like you are someone who will continue to gamble until you lose it all, it doesn't take me very long to understand that the chances of losing is very high in gambling, if I am given the opportunity to win just once I will stop gambling.

Even if I am not satisfied with gambling on that day I will force myself to stop and look forward to gamble again on another day.

I don't think either option is viable. If you lose in both situations, your loss will be much greater, and if you win, you'll be at zero to zero (practically a tie). It doesn't make sense to me, and I don't use this "strategy".

How about we don't double our stakes in any of those situations but only continue to gamble in the same way we have been gambling that made us the profits or losses. You're supposed to know that why you're losing or winning isn't because of the amount of money that you're staking but only your luck for casinos games and your knowledge for sports betting. Despite the amount that you're thinking is going to make you profits, you're wrong because you can lose despite the amount you staked.

As you're gambling, you should also think about not trying to losing instead of putting all the attention on trying to win some money. Take decisions that'll protect your money more often and you won't be one of those gambling addicts that's always losing money. Instead of staking more, stake less so you can protect your money.

This is not a good strategy I would say and in most cases when you tend to double when you win you lose it all and it's applicable to when you lose as well and that's because gambling is two sided which is built on lucks sometimes. But comparing between both options I think gamblers get more win than loses when they win and stake up with more funds. But in most cases you may tend to lose in the both situations.

OP, I would rather double up on winnings than on losing. However, I won't do either of such to avoid anxiety. I will still retain the pattern that won me money (if I won) and review the pattern that lost me money (if I lost) and gradually gamble what I can afford to lose. It's better that way for me than rising the stakes and then increasing my adrenaline pump.

This was what I did that made me lost all my money after winning a parlay of 3 and 4 game each twice. I won the first parlay, 3 games and was happy, I took another parlay and won that one but the last game, the odd was small and the game was live already, so I was very confident that the game will be successful and I used all the money I previously won to stake in that game, just two games, the first game made me lost everything. That's why, in gambling just be prepared for anything you see.

I think that expression, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" appropriately was made for such a scenario as you've described. When it comes to gambling (also in trading) over confidence should be relegated to the lowest ebb. No one is an expert in any of those two. Therefore, over confidence shouldn't come up at all.

I have tried both, but it’s primarily led to losing the money I deposited in the casino. In my experience, it’s more winnable when you do it when you win and not when you are losing. Every time that I lose, I feel like I will lose again the next time, so doubling it wouldn’t be ideal.

I agree. It's way better because your mindset is not to chase the losses but to maximize your profit, though it is risky if you have no contentment. However, many gamblers are thinking that double when you lose is a strategy to get back what you've lost fast. Martingale strategy is ideal if your bankroll is pretty decent to sustain the bet, otherwise it can only drain your bankroll in snap.
