unrealistic target make us lose in gambling

[Ziskinberg]

Have you ever noticed how gambling gets frustrating when you aim high but your capital is too small?

Like, let’s say you have a $10 bankroll but you’re aiming to win $500. Most of the time, you end up frustrated and then you lose control. You start chasing because you realize you're way too far from your goal, and your bankroll is quickly disappearing.

It’s happened to me many times. That’s why I think it’s better to do the opposite: start with a decent capital and aim for smaller, more realistic wins. It keeps you grounded and helps you manage your emotions better.

This is also dangerous as far as you are talking about gambling. I will prefer to use small amount of money but I will also aim for small amount of money. If it is betting, I aim for 1.2 but most commonly 1.5 to 2 odds but if it is gambling with casino games, I aim for 2 to 3 odds instead. When I was betting with huge amount of money, I only realized it was an addiction and I changed after I suffered from many losses.

I think a lot of gamblers have this kind of mindset, we treat it like easy money, so we want quick wins. But in reality, we’re not beating the odds set by the casino. Sometimes we get lucky once, and we think we can do it consistently. The problem is, I don’t have a decent starting capital, so I guess I end up in the same boat as many others.. small bankroll with big goals.

Normally as a good gambler that knows what gambling is all about would never in any way think of become rich quick through gambling. Because you would just end up being frustrated at the end of day. However, it's very essential for a gambler to always gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose because gambling is not were someone can easily double his profits overnight. That is why they keep on saying that we should always view gambling as an entertainment or having fun because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling, is always a game of luck.

Aiming high with a very small capital? That is greed. It is just like gamblers who place bets without taking the odds of the game into consideration, always aiming for high payouts. Chasing losses even after making such a gambling error shows how greedy and myopic the gambler is.

Gamblers need to understand that if they focus more on how to win, most importantly, huge amounts and fail to do proper risk management, it is their finances that will still suffer. Even if they win at some point, with no strategy put in place to minimise losses, the win amount will still not equal the losses when everything is summed up.

Although luck determines it all, gamblers still need to apply wisdom so that even if they don't win, their losses will be very minimal.

This is because people play to make money and not to have fun, if you play little obviously you win little but you risk little
If you want to make money then with your small bet you are simply increasing the risk.
Ok if you enjoy it, but let's always remember that this is not a way to earn and live, it's just fun

I mean, It is rather a matter of common sense and self awareness at that point, isn't it? The amount of money one (in theory) wishes to win from the casino needs to be proportional to the amount of money we have available as bankroll. Otherwise, we would inevitably fall into a deep out of frustration and left penniless after a very short session.
We need to understand as gamblers that those people we have seem on social media who have managed to get millionaire with a small stake are rather a very small percentage of gambling  population and they are the exception to the rule and not the rule whatsoever.

If gambling is any form is a source of frustration to one, one should stop partaking on it and move onto other activity until cooled down and start anew with a fresh mind and a better understanding of how gambling works in general.

[Ruttoshi]

A lot of gamblers are like that, they feel that they can win a fortune with gambling. This is why you see them on parlay bet on 5 games and above in one slip, because they want to use little amount of money to win a big amount.

It's good that the measure we give is what we expwct so that you don't feel cheated when gambling and feel bad after losing. Be happy with little odds and bet on them with the amount of money that you can afford to lose no matter how little the profit is. Gambling is fun when you ain't after making money because your win depends on luck.

Unrealistic expectations is the reason why a lot of gamblers ends up getting frustrated. One of the things that I don't do when gambling is setting a target for myself. The reason why I feel it's not relevant is because gambling is a game of luck setting targets makes it seem like you are in control of the outcome. It's best to just enjoy the game and enjoy whatever result you get from it. Always gamble responsibly.

Having a big capital and aim for the realistic profit won't guarantee a win. When you realize you are bound to lose when you are gambling with small capital, you might as well just aim for the biggest win.  I have few bucks to spare in my gambling so when I gamble, I aim to make a big win also like parlaying which the odds can multiple my bet to 4-5 times.

If you also think you are going to be losing your capital then might as well win big and if you won, its worth gambling more by parlaying again.

Gambling with a decent capital, there is no guarantee one must win. What is most important in gambling is understanding because capital does not determine wins. Gambling is a game of luck, and it is not the amount of money used in playing that is the most important. A gambler needs to consider first playing with an amount that they can let go.

You can decide to play with a reasonable amount of money, and if the game ends up being a loss, if it is an amount that you can't let go, it can cause problems by making one emotional. Don't gamble with an amount that you can't afford to lose because of what you want to gain from gambling. It is only greed that can make one aim big and decide to increase gambling capital that can't be afforded to lose.

It’s happened to me many times.

For real?
You're telling me you had a $10 bankroll and you have set your target to win $500 so multiplying your funds by 50x with betting and you got frustrated because it didn't work out? And you kept on doing it?

No, this needs a ton of follow-ups on this, what was your tactic and what did you plan on doing that you thought even for a moment you could 50x and please in the name of god don't tell me it's slots or roulette, cause this would make the whole thing cringery sad.
To make even the smallest profits in gambling you simply need to understand you have to win a bit more than you lose, there is no magic way of making out of the blue 10x just because that's your goal, you might make 100x with a parlay but be ready to lose 90 times the bet before or after that.

The easy way out is the hardest way, because something very dearly could go wrong, to all gamblers in the world looking for the easy way to make money you will end up getting your foot shot by yourself. I don't have to win $500 using $10, even if its the double of what I risked I am satisfied, you don't want to have a target with something like gambling you will learn the hardest way.

Its better to become a trader instead of a gambler, all you got to do is learn the chart and use different set of indicators, you also have to use stop loss advantage which is not available on gambling platforms, with trading you will never lose everything because you have stop loss.
In gambling its best you prepare for entertainment purposes, this is why I don't risk big amount of money because normally we are all at the disadvantage of the house edge, it's complete craziness seeing people risking a fortune in gambling.

Doing this will only make one to get frustrated and pushed to doing beyond his ability, because gamblers in this kind of behavior do gamble for money and they wouldn't mind if they have to take an extreme risk just to ensure their winning amount is higher as well, I don't think it's a good idea for us to gamble by force, especially when we don't have enough money to do so, because there will always be an opportunity for us to still gamble the more in future.

I think it’s normal for any gambler to aim high regardless of the amount of capital. That is the nature of gamblers. However, you should still set your limits in gambling.

Gamble what you can afford to lose, as there’s still no guarantee in winning. That would be safer that way, compared to start betting with a decent amount and still make more losses than wins. Unless if you’re extra lucky that day, you will make more out of your decent amount of capital.

[Maslate]

It’s normal for most of us to start with a small amount since we’re not really serious about gambling. We don’t think or act like professionals who have a decent bankroll and a well-calculated approach.

For them, winning 20% of their bankroll is fine because they’re working with large amounts. But for us? If we start with $20, are we really going to be satisfied with just a $4 win? Probably not. So it’s something that needs to be understood, mindset and bankroll size play a big role in how we approach gambling.

[Alphakilo]

The most recommended way to stay motivated and in charge of your gambling emotions is through this small realistic goals.

Gambling and staying in charge is more psychological. When you win, you mind is strong but if that goal is unrealistic and you lose that is where you want to do everything to recover the loss. There is a difference between an unrealistic goal and a big goal. It is good to set big gambling goals that can be broken down into small ones like where you use a part of your bankroll for it than to set an unrealistic goal where you will not even know how you are doing to break it down.

Unrealistic goal will burn your bankroll without a notice.

Have you ever noticed how gambling gets frustrating when you aim high but your capital is too small?

I don’t get frustrated because my target profit is always based on my bankroll. It’s only a bonus if I won beyond my expectation.

It’s greedy to set profit goal that is too high compared to your bankroll because it’s too hard to achieved that realistically speaking. Always set a profit based on the percentage of your bankroll to make your gambling in control manner to avoid being frustrated on a goal that is not realistic to your bankroll.

I do not believe in professional gamblers because if they think they are professional, hope gambling will not be the reason they will become poor. Rich people even gamble with the money they can afford to lose.

For them, winning 20% of their bankroll is fine because they’re working with large amounts. But for us? If we start with $20, are we really going to be satisfied with just a $4 win? Probably not.

With $20 I am satisfied with $4, but I will still withdraw the money until another day after it get to at least $10. I am satisfied to withdraw $10 which is 1.5 odds.

Some people may tag their expectations to be called faith and believe that they have in what can happen, which is not a bad thing but being truthful and keeping expectations within a good zone is important. It is not just in gambling, generally high expectations can lead to disappointment. The disappointment from the high expectations can lead to depression also. There is a need to be conscious of our expectations and keep them within a zone where they are realistic.
