Winning Can Ruin You Too

[Questat]

Will aggressive gambling and wish to try again really can ruin or it will stop when you run out of money. Or its worse if you win, but keep on winning during losing all the money. Imo chasing loss is least dangerous manifestation of greed. But when people win. Have you noticed how people always find it now enough or wish to have something better, bigger, more? In my gambling experience, I was more disappointed when I won and continue gambling, decreasing final amount I have won, than moments when I gamble and lost my balance.

What is actually dangerous is not winning or losing, but the decisions made after that. Winning can be the beginning of destruction if it is used as an excuse to continue playing, instead of stopping. Many people think, while they are lucky now, when in fact what happens is they start to lose control. Likewise when they lose, instead of stopping to reflect, they chase their losses. The main problem is in their mindset, emotional decisions, lack of discipline, and always feeling like there is a next chance. In gambling, repeated bad decisions are far more damaging than one big loss or big win.

Losing or winning, both have a negative impact. In the case of gambling, those who can accept losses will blame and look down on themselves, thinking that they are not good. But when they win, they also think that gambling is for them and continue.

Whether it was a winning or losing bet, a gambler thinks it depends on the outcome of the game. Gambling has a huge influence on the mindset of the person. That is why we see a lot of gamblers lose control of their emotions because they have trouble accepting results.

Winning is wonderful, but it only brings ruin to those who have no control and are greedy. When winning, it is advisable to save part of the winnings for other purposes. If you have the habit of setting aside money for your bets and managing your bankroll, it is unlikely that you will lose everything. If a person is not aware of this, what will lead to ruin will not be the winnings, but rather the lack of financial intelligence.

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.

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.

Honestly loosing and winning is an underlined necessity of gambling thus this is what you are to expect while gambling, moreso it's either it's end in positivity or negativity and gamblers makes it seem that way when they think it's a choice to win and not a choice to lose. And mostly this is generated through greed and thirst for quick money in no time and then when you lose it gets to you, as well as when you win, regardless we are the main reason for being ruined in one way or the other.

This is not general but what's more general is chasing after losses, some people can win and step down, take a break for some times or days, it's only the greedy gamblers that would want to keep gambling even after they have luckily won a huge amount, they are not comfortable and can continue gambling even while losing. Our of the majority, it's just some gamblers that does that often but the majority of people that have become addicted because of losses and chasing after their losses is very large. I think losing do more harm than winning.

Yes, it would be giving out that different impact on which it will be basing up on how you would be reacting into it on which on the time or moment that you do become that having those kind of reaction on which you would be ending up on having that kind of bad decisions then it will definitely be ruining you up and this is something that you must be look up into or would be that totally be mindful about it if you dont like on getting messed up with your life specially with finances because gambling is something that will be that exhaust up all of your money whether you are winning or losing on which it would be still ending up on the same story and thats why you should be that mindful and be careful on dealing up with it or making up decisions because if you do chose up that bad decision then it will be that ending up on having that kind of negative impact on which you havent been able to find yourself earlier because you've been aiming for something even more.

Lets talk about winning on which this could be also that ruin you out but it would be depending or basing up into your decisions because if you do know on how to cherish out your winnings without having no issues then you would be having that kind of advantage on which this should be done in the first place on this aspect. If you do know on what you are doing and having that kind of control when it comes to this manner then you wont be having that problem towards gambling possible effect because you are wary into those possibilities that might happen ahead. There's no way that you cant be able to distinguish on whats good or whats bad when it comes into this manner. It is just that if you are a greedy type of person then you would be finding this to be that regretful at the moment or time that you do lose up those winnings back to the house because you are trying to want for more money and thats always ending up on negative.

For me, blaming myself that I should have stopped and did not continue gambling, after I have won, was more disappointing. When I lose my deposit its not a real tragedy, as I was ok with losing those money when I take decision to start a gambling session. When you had and lost is most destruction than when you had nothing a lost. When you lose after winning, it has that special aftertaste.

I accept that I could be wrong, as I havent experienced chasing loss, making new deposit to regain lost money. But I have enough stories when I have won, kept playing and stopped when my total was equal to amount I have deposited. Spent time, gained nothing, that is more disappointing for me.

When we discuss big wins or moderate wins, we must understand that these wins change our worldview. It is not only about greed. A person begins to look at himself differently, he begins to evaluate his skills differently, more positively. He begins to think that he has previously greatly underestimated himself. In other words, a person develops a very strong and often very persistent cognitive distortion that makes him take a less responsible attitude to the game. Many call this greed, but it is not only and not so much greed. It is precisely an incorrect perception of the world and one's role in it and an incorrect assessment of one's gaming skills. Over time, after a winning bet begins to be leveled by a series of losses, a person becomes more adequate.

[fruktik]

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.

Indeed, it is not only about winning, but also about the player losing control over himself and the situation. Under such conditions, there is always a desire to get another win, but much more than the previous one. All because appetites grow. We can say that this is greed, which becomes the main problem. It is difficult to do anything about it. This is how people are made. I did not have such a problem, but with the desire to constantly be in the game - it is huge.

[madnessteat]

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.

Some people believe that winning can also ruin someone's life because it is a link in a logical chain that leads to losing.

In my opinion, winning and losing in gambling can alternate endlessly, and I think that the point is not that losing or winning leads to the destruction of one's life. The point is that when we stop perceiving gambling as entertainment and perceive it as a way of earning money, that's when the problems begin. After all, a gambling addict returns to gambling regardless of whether he won or lost in the last gambling session. He destroys his life by losing control of himself.

That's right, and the gambler also begins to develop another distortion that is difficult to correct, this is the devaluation of money. He begins to win by getting easy money quickly. While his friends work for months for a low salary, he can get a triple salary in an online casino or at a bookmaker with two clicks on his phone. And at that moment he understands that this is how he wants to earn money. But when the period of failures begins, this guy will constantly hope that these times of easy money will return again. And he will really not want to go to work again.

Yeah right, if you are not capable in contrlling your emotions the chance of not going to enjoy your profits is not by far, as you might push for more and aim to win larger amount instead of taking that opportunities to cash out whatever you already won, it's instinct that you unable to control, thinking that you already have the secret method to keep winning and you'll not going to suffer to any defeats, on that side, the chance of losing again is the next thing that you'll going to remember, more on controlling your money and your emotions each time you manage to make some success with your gambling.

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.

Loss is only dangerous when you gamble for profit and try to gain back what you have already lost in gambling. Otherwise, loss is a normal and logical part of gambling, we should look at it like we look at video games, we pay for the service and the experience.

It's funny but statistically, I've seen more people harmed from wins than from losses. Loss is a lesson, despite the fact that many people struggle in life, many of them recover from it, improve themselves and are becoming more successful people with self-control and ambitions but those who come from nowhere and win the jackpot, they often fail and fail harder than those lost many things from gambling addiction. Lots of money shows poor person the life that they haven't experienced before and when they fall from this life, they get extremely depressed and their lack of smartness, puts them in worse position.

There are many stories of people receiving large sums of money—either by winning gambling or the lottery, or through inheritance. But they don’t understand how to manage that money properly. They start spending it thoughtlessly on entertainment or make poor investment decisions. This leads them into depression because they can’t figure out how to make their money work for them. It feels like it highlights their inadequacy, and they begin to unconsciously punish themselves, which can lead to serious life tragedies.

Indeed, it was a pleasure trap because addiction starts from winning. Many gamblers assume that after winning, they will be more like that. Unfortunately, it was not the sweet wins they were about to experience, but losses. Getting out of control of our excitement and chasing wins will never end well, but in terrible losses. That is why we see that there are some big winners who become broke due to uncontrolled spending habits.
This gives us a lesson to ponder: gambling should not be taken seriously, and we should stop chasing wins because that causes financial problems in the end.

It's can be difficult to be controlled by some gamblers but it's not impossible and if you can control it like you said you don't have such problem, then anyone can also control theirs if they have the determination to do so, like myself I don't allow my emotions to lead me and not carried by greed. If anyone that is having this issue really want to stop it, they can fight it and stop themselves from it.

I fear for beginners who at first wins in gambling, because it can easily mess with their disciplinary way of thinking, while you are on your path of becoming discipline around gambling if you have a taste of winning at very earlier stage if could be the reason behind your losses in the future.

Some gamblers went out of their boundaries after they win, thinking things will remain the same and that will be the beginning of their downfall, they will lose control of their once determined strategy of safe gambling.

We are all different as human, so not everyone will experience the same, it's better to be in full awareness of yourself, don't be too excited after every win, make sure you are still on your right path or else the win will control you.

There are many gamblers who get very excited at the slightest thing. For those gamblers, if they win big, it can definitely be a big problem. Just as gamblers have to control their gambling, they also have to be very careful in using the winnings. Gamblers who do not know what to do after suddenly getting a large amount of money should not get too excited and remain calm after getting the winnings. There are some who do not use that money for any profitable purpose but spend it with friends in various ways and even where it is not necessary, but when the money is spent, they have to take financial help from others. Just as a gambler should have control in gambling, financial management should also be controlled, otherwise the results will be zero.

All your winnings and original money are gone, leaving only regret and sadness on your side.

And it's because of greed for wanting to gain more. Winning can ruin you if you don't have plan on what to do incase you became fortunate. If a gambler can't control himself and will be greedy to continue playing, there's a high possibility to lose the money again. That's why it's crucial to have self-control and discipline as a gambler to become of aware of your limit regardless of you win or lose.

We should not say that winning can ruins us. Winning does not ruin us. Our greed ruins us. Basically, greed is the reason we lose a lot of money.
When we win in gambling, we feel happy. And we get motivated to gamble more. And gradually we cannot control our greed. We become greedier along with winning. We cannot control our emotions. And in this way, we lose everything. Basically, it is because of excessive greed and lack of self-control that we cannot succeed in gambling. First, we have to learn to control our greed.

You are an idiot if you win big amount of money from gambling and it's the sole reason why you decide to use all the money to try your luck again, it means the person doesn't deserve the win in the first place. All I see here is complete greed of a gambler.

Many people just believe that winning happen for a reason, if it happened once it can happen again, while I agree to this there is also a part that it might never happen again, I don't take winning for granted.

It's like buying a shovel to dig the ground for gold and after many ground covered you luckily come across a bar of gold, you thought there should be more without thinking about how much energy you have spent on digging.

Every win as a gambler must never be taken for granted.
