Winning Can Ruin You Too

[coolcoinz]

Firstly, OP is confusing winning with losing. If you win and then keep betting high, it's the losing that actually ruins you. If it was winning then betting high would only make you win more. Winning sets you up for a larger loss, but ultimately it's that loss that leads to ruin, right?

Secondly, It's funny how ,most people here say gambling is bad and leads to a loss, yet we're on a gambling forum, advertising casinos. Are you saying that you know it's bad for you but you keep doing it? I think it's good for me, the good and the bad cancel each other

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.

You are absolutely correct in your thinking that winning can be as bad as losing sometimes even worse. People usually lose touch of the dangers because of the excitement of winning. You have the tendency to start thinking that you have a strategy or that you are somehow invincible, still the thing is that this kind of thinking only makes you fall that much lower. You can easily be carried away by the notion of repeated success and end up placing more bets than one should and you can run out of control getting into the loop of the next big feed and lose much money by doing so. I have witness it to some of my friends and even to myself, it is like getting on something high and finishing it off by a crash.


The trick, you see is knowing when to quit. It is difficult to leave when you are on a winning streak and keep that money in your pocket, although it is the only way of saving yourself of what pertains to the dangers of winning too much. The thing is that it is all about balance, about understanding that it is a game, nothing is ever so guaranteed. It is true there is no other way except setting boundaries to yourself and living within them so that you do not find yourself in that trap. The remorse of losing all you really won is dreadful worse than the retention of something in the pocket.

All matters everything on what you do have in mind is that whether on a winning or losing condition then it will be that up to you on how you would be able to react out. It will be just that depending on whether you should be that securing out those winnings and be trying out to buy something or make it something worth or you would be that losing it back again into the house? Everything will be just that depending on how you do treat up things accordingly. If you do see yourself that been enjoying with the current gambling activity that you've been doing then it will be that up to you whether you do continue to play or not. Winning could ruin you but it would be depending into your level of greediness. Each person does have that different level of tolerance when it comes to greed and if you are someone whose that not good when it comes to self control on which this might sound basic but you would be needing up to consider on taking up those wins and making use on the right way or something which is worth. You would be finding yourself having that devastative if you dont know on when to get out and make use of those winnings on the right way.

Just be attentive into your condition on which you shouldnt be letting your greed control you at the moment that you do gamble. Well, its easy to say but all of us do fail into this moment on which at the moment that we do experience those wins then we would be having that kind of urge on playing even more on which this is just that very normal reaction because human beings are naturally greedy on which at the time or moment that you are winning then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how you would be that making up even more wins on which this will be your main priority. It could ruin you up if you arent that good when it comes to self control and moderation. The time that winning could ruin you is much better than when you are losing since you are still on positive then turned out to lose it all, what comes worst is on the moment that those winnings including your trading capital or bankroll has been included then it would be ending up on the same story all over. So we can generalize that everything will be just that on the same situation.

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.

Exactly the way some people tend to act in regards to gambling is alarming honestly, and their manner towards it proves otherwise. Most of this gamblers thinks its always in this manner but then greed is one factor that can either make or break the individual. So when getting involved in gambling be rest assured that gambling is meant for winning and loosing abd your activities towards it will determine if you'll be ruined or not.

Gambling can ruin those who have the wrong mindset towards gambling. There are some gamblers that started gambling in order to win a fortune with gambling. These set of gamblers will be ruined if they don't change their orientation towards gambling. I was once an addict and I know what I suffered when I was addicted.

Winning can be a trap for the gambler at some point because if he happened to become toxic about his first winning, the effect can be so negative also so for that we need to know and agree that winning and loses have the same effect what differentiate their reality on the gambler, is the gambler ability to control both when their happens to you while gambling.

[bitgolden]

Winning gives you the feeling that you are on the right track so it gives you the confidence to continue gambling winning can be deceptive because it will make you to continue gambling which can be dangerous in the long run  so we should be careful with the way that we handle winning

Especially in the first few gambling sessions of a person when they start gambling. If they manage to win something good in them, that occurrance will make them keep coming back for more, because now they feel confident and think that they can make money from gambling because if they could win once, they can win again, and this thing, if not controlled soon, can slowly turn into addiction, and that person will keep coming back as soon as they get some money to try their luck and see if the same thing can be repeated.

This is why I always say that losing money in the first few gambling sessions can sometimes be a blessing because you might lose some money at that time, but that might save you from a lot of trouble in the future because those who lose initially will think that gambling is useless and it's a waste of time and money, and they wouldn't keep trying because they will remember the experience.

Winning with no strong control of when to stop or end a session prepares way for more losses. Mostly the money gets finished in a sitting for players who get thrilled and freaked out by winning and think it'll continue to stay that way. The purpose matters, a gamer should be aware that winning isn't fixed, it comes and goes. Relying on the first few wins as a reason to wager more and more is a sign of zero concern on our emotions and mood.

[kryptqnick]

The problem is not the win itself, but how we react to it, how it affects us. If it's just something we do for fun, having light excitement when winning and light sadness when losing, that's okay. Needing a win is also not always a destructive thing, as long as you don't keep chasing losses because of it. Being able to stop at some point when you keep winning (or at least not going all-in or something when it's happening) is a great skill. Knowing and being able to stop after losing, however, seems more difficult and more important to me.

I think almost everything in this life can ruin a human, either good or bad, and that includes the drinking of water if it is not well managed.
What I am trying to say is that no matter how good and beneficial something is, if it's not properly managed, to bring out the good side of it. It will be a blessing turned into a curse.
The same thing happens with winning in gambling if the gambler doesn't manage the game, buzz, etc. The good winning wil be a curse for th gambler.

True and that means that the real victory is not your success in achieving victory but when you manage to restrain yourself from being tempted to use the money again and prefer to secure it, or it can also be said that the real victory in gambling is when you enjoy the money from the winnings for whatever you want such as fulfilling your life needs or desires.

Another thing is realizing that it is indeed important as you said because that awareness is what will restrain a gambler from doing various actions that should be avoided, but it is clear that to achieve that awareness a gambler must first have the right knowledge and understanding regarding what and how gambling really is.

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.

Victory doesn't trap us it's actually our greed that makes us continue chasing more wins. The main that we should work on is avoiding being too greedy because it's capable of making you lose. Stopping on time when you are winning can be very difficult if you are the type of gambler that deals with greed. Like you said as long as we can control it there shouldn't be a problem, discipline is very important

There is no greedy gambler if he does not get a win. Greed becomes a trait, and victory becomes a perfect tool to trap gamblers.
As long as gamblers can control themselves and are consistent with it, then gambling will be fine. But for gamblers who find it difficult to control their greedy nature, of course, it takes more effort to be able to gradually not be tempted by the victory that traps gamblers, to be ambitious to get a bigger win.

A simple loss is less disappointing than losing the money we just won. This is no longer a simple disappointment, but almost depression. And the problem is with ourselves, namely greed. We should have been happy with the win we had, not wanting more. However, this understanding comes later and not to everyone.

[Accardo]

It's just about the way people think that the moment they win it's going to remain that way. Which illustrates lack of experience in the player and determines their actions. It simply leads to a losing streak, like the fastest way to it, and gamers don't learn out of the experience. The thoughts are refreshing and they can't have enough of that loss, they should have won and must win someday. That's the weirdest form of addiction in existence, because both sides; the addict and house are in a huge competition.

If you have the mindset to use gambling for entertainment, then no matter how sweet the win is, it cannot consume you towards addiction. Now I gamble for entertainment, I only gamble for entertainment in my free time, I use a very small amount of money that I do not regret if I lose money. I gamble with a small amount of money and the win I get is a little more than my little money, which means that the win cannot consume me because my win is not very much. This is just my case and I am talking about the budget that I am using for gambling depending on my income. Moreover, there are many who can use gambling to earn money or use it for long-term profit, in which case the win can lead them to addiction or ruin their lives.

Ok i don't agree with you Pandu, sorry.
I have never seen a gambler get rich, never. Even if he were lucky enough to win, he would lose everything shortly thereafter.
So their strength becomes their weakness, and this of course ends up destroying everything.

This isn't my experience, but an experience of a person here who's gambling as well.

My partner has this workmate where he's winning consistently, and if I will calculate it, he's winning a month of a minimum wage earner's salary in just 2 days. Well, I just said that it's good for him that he's winning, but after that, I said that "If he will not stop gambling, he will just end up losing", and fair enough, a few weeks after I said it, my partner said that her workmate that's gambling is already losing money consistently, and asking for a loan towards her, and her other workmates. Take note that this gambler has a family, and he used that money into gambling as well. In short, he's addicted.

This is the reason why gambling itself is a trap, but it will only become a trap if we don't change how we think about gambling. We always say that we need to know when to stop if needed, and that's true. Whether we are losing or winning, we should know when to stop. If we lose, we need to stop in order to prevent further losses. If we win, we also need to know when to stop so that we can secure our winnings or else... it might end up with you losing those winnings plus the capital. Stop if needed.

Yes but it is also clear that this can happen because of lack of knowledge which is one of the causes, in gambling I think actually a gambler can survive from such a terrible situation if for example they can use their rational mindset correctly, they can know this just by looking at the concept of gambling about winning and losing which can happen at any time, or just by looking at the random concept that underlies each result at the end of the game, so it is not always about experience because there are many other gamblers that they can use as examples, so it can be ascertained that a gambler who always tries to compete with the casino is one who has no knowledge at all about how gambling really works.

And after losing they'll going regret not to quit and stop while they are still in the winning, sad thing is they will continue to repeat that and will continue to lose more instead of having that chance of winning, the desire of maximizing the luck that you currently experiencing is one of the factor that a gambler will not going to stop and will keep pushing for more.

They will keep on trying and when they realize that they already lose a lot some may stop and regret what they've done while others become addicted and still doing the same thing.

Your view on this is correct, winning isn't negative but what you do next would determine whether you would have a negative or positive result...some gamblers win and the next thing they think of is to try again, this is just as a result of insatiability and greed... winning comes with an excitement that if not properly controlled it can make you get carried away... That's why it's important to be in control as as a gambler

These set of gamblers will be ruined if they don't change their orientation towards gambling. I was once an addict and I know what I suffered when I was addicted.

A gambler with that kind of mindset will end up becoming addicted if he keeps gambling with the aim of winning a fortune in gambling. Gambling does not get anyone richer before you win big you have lost a very big amount in gambling and if you keep gambling with the hope of recovering what you have lost then continue chasing the amount you want to win you may end up losing more money and not being able to win anything at the end. Avoid Becoming addicted to gambling should start form the gambler not putting so much trust on what he can achieve through gambling.
