Winning Can Ruin You Too

[JunaidAzizi]

Mostly, here I hear about how dangerous loss is, it ends many lives and can put someone in big trouble. This is a clear issue, and people are protecting themselves from it. However, there is another thing that can also ruin one's life, and that is winning. Winning is the sweet and a pleasurable trap where you can stuck your life happily without knowing that it engulfs you until it comes to an end.

When you win, you think that you know gambling better and assume that luck is on your side, which leads you to jump into a big risky bet. You start losing, and at that stage, you change your mind to recover the money that you lost and start chasing it, falling into the trap. All your winnings and original money are gone, leaving only regret and sadness on your side.

The purpose of making this thread is to share your experiences with others about how you lost and fell into this hidden and unknown trap. The second piece of advice is that whenever you win, keep that money and leave for the day before you lose all your money.

Winning is not the problem rather greediness is the main culprit that makes you pursue more to bet when you are already in profit.

I personally don’t view winning with negativity despite the example involved since I knew that it’s not the winning but greed. Losing or winning greed is the common factor why people lose in gambling.

[Akbarkoe]

This kind of thing is often said in forums, so it's not something new, but sometimes you have to remind people again and again.

You have to know, why should you gamble responsibly? because if you can't control yourself with gambling it will make you go deeper, the error of thinking will take away your wealth.

[Merit.s]

Greed is bad when gambling, because it's only greed that will make you not stop playing when you're winning. No gambler can win in the long run if he continues gambling, because you lose more than you win. Of course, when you are winning, you feel like enjoying that moment forever, but nothing last forever and changes is constant. If you win, expect losing next.

[salad daging]

It depends on your own control - after you win will you jump in again or stop enjoying the money?

Sometimes there are still people after winning they increase their bets because they are confident or addicted to them they can win big with the expected multiplier from the big bet, but in the end they lose and wipe out everything they have won before.

There are people who know after winning they should do what - usually withdraw most of the winnings and set aside a little balance in the casino to try their luck.
Or withdrawing all the winnings would be better than playing again.

The good ones withdraw their winnings, never be greedy to get bigger, it is clearly a trap for you.

It is strange to think that win will ruin us. I still can't accept that. If win has been achieved, it means there is no loss in that session, as long as he makes the winning the right time to make a withdrawal, he already on the right way. But if it continues until he loses, because he expects more, then it is not his win that ruined, but the greed that he is not aware of. Chasing past losses is not a a part of the win, but the way of thinking that is passionate about achieving it, turned the win into deeper losses. Because of another target trapped gambler to lose everything.

If you study the life of Arnold Rothstein, you’ll exactly see how dangerous it is. AR won his first bet when he was a kid. When he was a grown up he fixed the world series and that’s how he got his fame. He always thought he somehow had an ability to read people. See the stuff which others cannot. He thought he was special. And he was lucky for a long time. He thought he was invincible. He thought he is destined to win, always. And when he finally lost? He lost everything. He only then realized the trap he put himself in but it was too late.

Another example is Jesse Livermore. The world’s most famous stock trader. Almost same story. Same pattern. Tragic ending. He won so much, he thought he can’t lose anymore… You know the rest of the story.

So the thing ruining you is obviously LOSING!
Because if you had kept winning, you wouldn't have had any problem, right?

The second piece of advice is that whenever you win, keep that money and leave for the day before you lose all your money.

Well, quite funny, your adive is also just texbook gambler's fallacy:

Gambler's fallacy refers to our belief that the probability of a random event occurring in the future is influenced by the past history of that type of event occurring

The fact that you have won doesn't mean you're going to lose, just as continuously losing doesn't mean you will win.

So you don't believe them? Do you need confirmations yourself?

Okay? ...so you mean if I won about $2 million, it'd ruin my life and put me in a position where I stay unhappy without knowing? Do you gamble at all or this is just another dickhead stories from someone who knows nothing about the game..
Put that in a better perspective; "some wins can ruin you just as much as some losses can groom you". Deep, but we're not trying to be delusional here -- I've seen a lot of comments about "control" You can only control what you put in, not what comes out.

It has happened on several occasions that people were found celebrating and at the cause losing their lives for one reason or the other, this could be pathetic because it is not what they knew could caught them in such manner, therefore, this call for us to be more careful as we are jubilating in celebration, so that we don't end up in another mood we may be speechless of talking about.

Alas every unfortunates are still pointed on loosing. It's not new that some greedy ones who had been lucky to win some good sum would think it's a ceremonial season for them probably when they've been lucky enough on consecutive wins without knowing there're traps in the continuity where they can lost everything while greedily chasing more wins.

There are no lies detected here, winning comes with a feeling like you are invincible and this can be as a result of having constant winning streaks. Winning can be destructive only when you let it, if you become over greedy and you can't get satisfied with your wins then in the process of chasing more you might end up in losses. You need to be careful when you are losing and also winning because they are both dangerous

Victory can indeed trap us into looking for and feeling other victories. But isn't it when we bet also expecting victory? And that's what we are looking for.
It's just that sometimes victory does make us too obsessed with gambling, which results in increasing our gambling activity. As long as we can still control it, maybe there won't be a problem. It's just that sometimes we forget.

Winning Can Ruin You Too

That's the nature of human life.
You already have a house type/40 but you are not satisfied you want to have a type/80 house bigger than the beginning, Is it normal, of course it's normal, Likewise, other examples of humans are never satisfied for one, two, three and to death, gambling is money, money can destroy yourself and money can make you peaceful.

Now back to yourself individually, the way you think of gambling, whether it's when you are indeed or lose.
For this reason, it is important for us to control the emotions and goals of gambling, While you can control your victory and control your financial management I think you remain in Amam, you will think 100x to pursue a bigger bet, Everything returns to each other, that's all the risk gambling we understand about it.

Winning is ideal, but having thoughts like this/ on what our next actions would be solely depends on the person in question. I don't feel that way whenever I get a win -- that's exactly how greed kicks in very easily, without having you realize how deep It's gone. Since the damages don't appear to be physical, most gamblers don't even have control over their next line of action.

You start losing, and at that stage, you change your mind to recover the money that you lost and start chasing it, falling into the trap. All your winnings and original money are gone, leaving only regret and sadness on your side.

That's the quick flip in gambling. I'm sure every self-acclaimed gambler has lost at least once or twice, and so they can understand the risk behind trying to spin the roulettes more frequently because they just hit a jackpot. If making a fortune is all we gamble for, when it shows up, we must learn to keep away from spending everything back into the game, that's crazy!

[Marykeller]

The cause of winning more in gambling has become a rising issue we learn about every day of our lives. Many gamblers don't want to take home a little money when luck is on their side when gambling. They want to win a lot of money before they can be satisfied with the day's gambling.

Unfortunately, those gamblers who are hardly satisfied with how much money they have won don't end up telling good stories of how they went from being in profit in gambling to losses.

It's an ugly experience for any gambler not to experience. Sadly, some gamblers would still be experiencing such because of greed within them

It is not winning that ruins people, but their inability to control themselves after winning big. Some gamblers are controlled by greed, so that they are not satisfied with the amount they have won. They keep gambling win the mentality that they will win bigger.

From the early time I started gambling, I knew that any win is an opportunity to recover several losses. So it is important to effectively maximise your wins instead of risking it again on betting.

[collecttmaster]

Winning has ruined a big number of people, and those that refuse to admit this is funny. How many lottery winners have ruined their life? It is the same with gambling. Besides just gambling again, you can't spend money on stupid things without it having a bad effect on you. A lot of big winners waste a lot of the money, it is very sad.

This is not the only kind that can ruin you. There are people who win big and stop playing, but they do some very stupid things with the money. Overprices phones, clothes, cars, and such things.

[Ricardo11]

This is the most common problem for a gambler, most gamblers face major disasters because of this kind of mentality, when they win, they gamble with excessive excitement and when they lose, they gamble even more with excessive emotion, that is, no matter what the result is, you cannot stop yourself in the end at any result. This is the most terrible problem, the basic principle of gambling is that, you have the tendency to stop gambling at the right time, but in that place, most gamblers cannot stop themselves at the right time, but even they continue to gamble more uncontrollably and only face major losses. This kind of situation has happened to almost all gamblers, but those who understood the right thing in time, they were certainly able to get out of this harmful effect very soon, but those who did not understand the right thing, they lost everything over time.

If we look into it, it is not the winnings that is dangerous, it is the reaction and how the winning person reacts and how he looks into things when he wins.  If one got drunk with the victory and forgot about reality, thinking that he could duplicate to triplicate his winnings so he goes on a spending spree and bets recklessly until he finds out that he is chasing winnings and all his savings are emptied. It is not the time when he won's fault but the time when he forgot that the gambling result is random.

When you win, you think that you know gambling better and assume that luck is on your side, which leads you to jump into a big risky bet. You start losing, and at that stage, you change your mind to recover the money that you lost and start chasing it, falling into the trap. All your winnings and original money are gone, leaving only regret and sadness on your side.

In this case, winning does not mean the person goes into financial ruin; it is the losses.  As stated in the earlier reply, it is not the win that does the damage; it is the greediness of the person and wanting to win more.
