Winning Can Ruin You Too

[Raflesia]

Basically gambling is for entertainment, while winning when gambling should be considered as additional entertainment. When someone gambles, he or she should understand what he/she is doing, and not be too greedy to seek victory, because usually when someone is too greedy to get victory when gambling, then usually he has the potential to experience a big defeat. So from that, I think that winning from gambling cannot be considered as a trap, if someone has problems because of that victory, then it is his or her own fault. Sometimes I even see people who blame gambling when they lose, even though we know that it is a consequence that he should be aware of when he is about to start gambling.

It is true and there is no doubt that gambling is a means of entertainment and with the winnings or profits obtained it is a bonus that players can get as additional entertainment, even if they are lucky in their gambling. For people who can stop at the right time, they have quite good self-control, but many of them are greedy in their gambling, such as not being satisfied with what they have gotten. I myself have felt something like this.

Someone who has problems with their winnings, such as losing their previous winnings, is indeed their own fault, it is very ridiculous if people who lose their winnings blame the casino again, basically we ourselves have the will to gamble that we do. People who cannot accept defeat are the group of people who are wrong in viewing gambling, therefore they are not ready to lose the money they bet.

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.

Not being contented with your win can be one of the reasons why you might end up losing more, you have a point on that. The main reason why a lot of people lose after winning is because they chase after more wins and as a result of this they end up throwing their stake and profits away. Gambling is a game of luck and whenever you get lucky it's important that you take advantage of it and stop chasing

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.

Yes for new gambler winning could be a trap. It breeds overconfidence pushing player to make bets recklessly. At that rush moment, once you lose, it starts faster finally gambler falls into it.

One of my friends staked 10 dollars and hit 15x, boosting his greed instantly. It is really hard to overcome such a situation. Sadly, my friend wiped out 900 USD at the end of the day. It is a very old story after hitting the big jackpot and chasing the win again n again until your full bankroll collapses. so only knowledge is not enough, rules and regulations are needed. You should have to set stop loss, refresh your mind by walking away after big win, keep your judgment untouched, not let success impact your judgment. Without responsible gambling, even a single win is enough to lead you toward bankruptcy.

If we are realistic about it, it is very unlikely most gamblers would feel satisfied with what they earn after a lucky streak, because none of them step into a casino having a ceiling to their potential winnings. Most of us just want to be lucky enough to become millionaires inna single seat and not having to work ever again, that we could not do that even if we had the luck to score a couple of thousands of dollars in a single crash run, for example.
It is kind of ironic if you think about it, how we all have floors and budgets to what we are willing to lose or are capable to lose, but we don't have the opposite: a maximum amount kept in mind before we withdraw from the casino to our wallets and spend it on whatever we wanted.

To be more precise, greed makes you lose your senses. Because there are many gamblers like that where they are unable to control themselves when they win and are too greedy to chase more money than they should, and in the end they only lose more money. In this case, self-control is important to avoid losing more money when you have won. Gamblers who have self-control are able to set their limits and avoid things that make them lose money because of their greed, because they are aware of what they are doing, disciplined, know when to say enough for the day.

Greed and emotion are the biggest problems of humans, because of this, most gamblers always face huge losses, people lose self-control and cross their limits only because of greed and emotion. When a gambler can control these things, then he can control himself in any outcome. People become greedy when they win and emotional when they lose, but a gambler can control these things only when he can remove his greed and emotion. One has to be aware, and always keep himself disciplined, a gambler who can adapt himself to anything and stop at the right time, is definitely a responsible gambler.

Not only for new gamblers, winning is always a big trap for pro gamblers. Even veteran gamblers can make mistakes and fall into traps if they fail to control their greed.

To me, gambling is a trap, winning is just a bigger trap within that trap. That is why when gambling we need to know how to control greed, gamble responsibly and know when to stop. Or better yet, gamble with a mindset of entertainment instead of thinking about making money and getting rich from it, we will never fall into any trap.

I do not know, in my case, I have never had any problems with winning. On the contrary, after I win, I try to stop to keep that feeling of euphoria for as long as possible. At least for that day when I managed to win well. So, I definitely do not see anything bad in winning and I aim for it. Actually, the same happens with losing. One or two losses, and I stop. I do not like playing on emotions.

You did not have a problem with winning, because you havent won a jackpot yet. An amount of money that changes ones persons life, the amount that was received easily, always twist mind. Imo that is why winning are more dangerous. If you win, you want to win more, again. But if a person loses, then most likely after recovering amount he has lost, that person learns lesson and stops gambling. If a person is losing, his gameplay is limited with his funds, he does not have plans for future. If a person wins, he start to make plans how he would spend money, and while thinking, people realize that its always not enough money to satisfy all their wishes.

That's how gambling is made, especially when there's a house that can control everything.

The first win will probably be a trap, and if we win, we do have a choice whether we will keep on going or we will exit. A neighbor of mine told me a story, and I was amazed at what he did. He deposited $6, gambled it the first time, and then won $75 in the process. He then exited with the money and never went back. I told him he is the real winner when it comes to gambling because those who never went back will not lose anymore.

We always have a choice after winning, so it will depend on us. Will we bite the trap or will we withdraw after a win? That's up to us.

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.

I think this problem can't come from the opposite side as you said from a win. Getting into a losing streak because of that seems less likely I think this can only happen in one case, if a beginner starts playing and gets lucky right from the first bets, then he might decide that he is very good at gambling, and might start increasing the bet amount. Or if he does not increase the bet he might place a lot of bets, and then a loss will come, and he will try to win it all back. In this case yes, but if the player is experienced, and has been playing for a long time let?s say several years then in this case a good win will never be able to mislead him.

the fact is that surely a good initial win, or a series of initial wins can influence the future trend, it has always been like this, in fact the worst players who then lose everything are those who win at the beginning and believe themselves to be the masters of the world, winning, but then fall into the most total abyss, because they believe that it is a temporary thing

Greed and un-satisfaction is what made them kept on gambling and lose all the money they won, it is not because they win. When we are discussing about why people chase their win we should not generalize that winning could ruin us. We ruin ourselves if we cant be contented. So, anyone gambler using this as an excuse is not ready to learn, he will keep making the same mistake if he dont realize he is the main reason for his losses and not his wins.

It's actually wrong to gamble because you want to make money from gamble to become a millionaire. However, it's not guarantee if you are going to win and become a millionaire through gambling. Although a lot of gamblers have actually win huge amount of money from gamble and they still lose all of them because they wanted more. Because the game is risky, anytime you are lucky and you won from gamble, it's better to stop gambling at that moment and withdraw your winning.

Very often you can hear one simple truth from gambling addicts: "I won money from the very beginning, it would be better if it didn't happen." Because later they say that it was after the first quick win that they were sucked into gambling and they could no longer tear themselves away. Naturally, 90 percent of them have not yet lost everything they won, and later everything they deposited themselves. This is sad, because every win in life is good only when it remains saved.

The only trap on here is about into your mind on which if you are just that sensible and responsible towards your gambling activity then you wont be finding yourself having any issues or problems towards this one. There are just that those times or moment that on the moment that you do make out some winning then you will becoming that optimistic in towards into further winnings then this is the time that you will be that become desperate for more wins. If you do have that kind of positivity towards further winnings and you had that made yourself that getting derailed with your initial limits or simply with those control when it comes to fund or risks management. There are those situations that due to that kind of positivity, you had forgotten yourself on doing things on what they should gonna do at the time that you had lost up all the balance you do have on that particular gambling session. It could ruin up someones life if you arent that good on self control because this is where this business becomes profitable due to this kind of common behavior of gamblers on which at the time that they will be playing gambling then they do want to have that more winning without even trying to look up for the possibilities of losing or the moment or time that you do become that delusional already.

Everyone, both old and new gamblers already know that people win in gambling, but it hits differently when you're the one who hits that huge multiplier, especially when you're relatively new in gambling, this has the potential to open the gambler's mind to potential opportunities in gambling, and this can be really harmful to some gamblers as it can stir up greed and reckless gambling.

I remember when I started gambling too, I also hit a pretty huge multiplier and this made me realize the possibilities of unlimited wins in gambling and this affected my approach towards gambling.

If a person is not ready for big money that came to him in an easy way, for example through winning, it can destroy him. At best, the money will simply disappear as quickly as it came. Money, no matter where it comes from, requires discipline. If someone wins a sum they don’t know how to use wisely and for their own benefit, they may start acting recklessly, which can eventually harm them or even drive them into debt. Believing in luck and hoping that a fortunate coincidence will happen again, they risk losing everything they had, and even more.

[Strongkored]

If winning can ruin your life, let alone losing, then it's better not to gamble, if that's the end, even though many gamblers win and their lives become better than those who feel their lives are ruined.
Gamblers whose lives are ruined because of winning because they are not able enough to manage the big money they get, or never feel enough, greed controls them to get more without taking a break at all.

Win is win, not winning that destroys life but the wrong mindset.

The topic is saying that winning can ruin you too. Winning can destroy your life means that if you don't win, you may not have destroyed your life. It is correct and that's what we are discussing here. Very few people have good mindsets about anything, so we are not talking about those people. We are talking about the majority that is affected by these things.

I cant agree that winning can ruin our life, winning may increase or trigger our greed but still losing is the one that may ruin our life.
Your example is clear that someone can ruin their life after winning because he is betting bigger but lose it all eventually, so basically losing is the one that ruin someone's life.
Winning may change our mindset which lead us into high level of greed so actually greedy and losing are those that can be said as the factor that may ruin someone's life instead of winning.

[SOKO-DEKE]

If you have said that winning has ruined some people lives based on the greediness of chasing bigger wins by risking high amounts of money whenever they want to gamble after experiencing a win, I may partially agree with you. However, describing winning in general as ruining peoples lives, I would not agree with that because it depends on how the gambler reacts to their winnings I have seen some people who won a reasonable amount of money from gambling and used the money wisely. In fact, they used their winnings to establish a business, and it has been more than 5 years now and the business has not gone under, and it’s not that he stopped gambling but he understands the kind of risks he takes.

It's just that winning brings out those things that could have been hidden in a person for a long time. Maybe he's been thirsting for this all his life, and after winning he started to show his true self, not being shy about saying what he thinks, including various unpleasant things. At first glance, winning seems simple and that a person should become more cheerful and positive, but this is not always the case. And other players may never have a big win, and then these feelings of greed or some other feelings that he did not show to himself and others will not be revealed in him.
