Winning Can Ruin You Too

[kawetsriyanto]

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?

He actually wants to remind us that we mustn't be greedy when we win the games. He only can't find the proper way to convey it.  
Sure, winning surely isn't a problem. If we keep winning, we must get more advantage. We even can be rich instantly if we keep winning. Unfortunately, this is something impossible. There will be always the time for losses after few wins.

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

It is not funny at all. We convey to people the fact. We also try to make people gambling in the right way. What is wrong with this way? It is also a problem for casino sites if there are many people who get a problem in gambling. They can't continue to gamble if they have no money anymore due to addiction or excessive gambling.

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.

This is totally true, winning is not a problem Rather greediness. Greediness is the reason why people often Chase after loses or chase after more wining and end up losing all. These factor are the main problem why people keep repeating same mistake. Greediness is the problem of majority of gamblers, if they can be contented with there win and pause or hold after wining and come back later, they would have done well but when greed has overshadow a person, it will make them not see reason to quit at the right time but keeps gambling and hopping for more when there is no hope for more.

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 will not be too greedy and it will be wrong to expect big wins again and again. Basically greed destroys people. Gambling depends on luck, if you are lucky you will win, if you are not lucky you will lose. So you should gamble with the intention of having fun, if you are lucky you can win big.

Now I have no story of losing big, I gamble for fun, and not gamble with more money than I can afford to lose. Now I also lost but not financially affected.

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.

I totally agree with OP, victory can also be a disaster for ourselves, because victory will always cross our minds and the desire to try again is very big, this is where our selfishness begins, some stick to their stance, some are careless and continue the game

It is also a problem for casino sites if there are many people who get a problem in gambling. They can't continue to gamble if they have no money anymore due to addiction or excessive gambling.

On the one hand, if an addicted gambler won a large prize, there is a good chance that he will soon drain it back, and at the same time, the entire deposit. In this case, this is a great user for a casino because he brings income in the short term.
But on the other hand, casinos really should be interested in preventing gamblers from becoming addicted because such gamblers won't be able to bring profits for a casino in the long term.

I don’t think winning is that dangerous, because if you win a jackpot, you will have more belief in gambling and may start gambling more often. To me, that is not caused by the win itself, but by your greed.

That is correct, when we are people who understand that when we are in a casino and we are lucky enough to win or if we win the lottery we must understand that we should not risk large sums of money to multiply, no we must take that money and invest it, the idea is to increase it in that way and take advantage of the luck that was had at that moment and things should be seen in that way , for that reason I always advise that when you win you Withdraw.

Exactly, if a gambler can have that self-control, I don’t think he will be a victim of greed, because you gamble with the money you can afford to lose with no pain. And if you’re lucky enough to win the game, the best thing to do is to withdraw that money and look for something to do with it that will bring more profit.

But over time, I think many people are victims of gambling addiction based on their mindset. In most cases, these are poor people. Because if you meet a poor person today and ask him what his plans are to achieve his dreams, he will start talking about luck. He will say things like, “If I’m lucky enough to marry a rich man’s daughter, the man will give me this and that,” or “If I win the lottery or a jackpot two or more times, I will be able to do this and that.”

In this case, you know that such people will always stay in their delusions and remain poor, because they have zero plans that will realistically help them escape poverty.

Now I have no story of losing big, I gamble for fun, and not gamble with more money than I can afford to lose. Now I also lost but not financially affected.

Greed will always lead someone to ruin, I think it can happen in all things, not just in gambling. Gambling with a small budget will make you fine, there is no pressure after losing, life can go on as it should, so there is no neglected responsibility. Winning will be the only thing that brings pleasure in gambling, but it must be understood that it does not happen every day. I think experienced gamblers will understand it very well, self control not to exceed the limit is the main foundation when gambling.

Indeed. I even doubt that addicted gamblers can enjoy the prize even if they win a large prize. They probably will dream to win again and again bigger prizes. So, they may have no idea to stop temporarily enjoying the prize. True, they easily drain it again soon since they are trying chasing more wins. For me, enjoying the prize is a must. It can make us more comfortable and it can be a good booster of our mood.

But on the other hand, casinos really should be interested in preventing gamblers from becoming addicted because such gamblers won't be able to bring profits for a casino in the long term.

TBH I won't blame them, it is their money. But this addiction probably makes them to have a very short time in gambling. When their family knows their addiction problem, he must be ordered to stop permanently. Addicts also have no idea about managing their funds properly. So, they must have a problem with their financial in the long run. Once they have the financial problem, they no longer can gamble at all.

That is correct, and that is also one big sad thing about all of this. People actually believe that they will enjoy it and some even use it as an excuse to continue their bad behavior. However it is not possible to enjoy it, biology does not let you. At best it will be a very short high feeling which will dissipate fast because of the addiction. That is also one of the reasons why big winners ruin their winnings, it does not feel good as they expected

Sometimes many newbies get their gambling life ruined by their first big hit winning, this is what mostly happens to those newbie that will think that he have suddenly developed a strategy to keep hitting such big winning on a consistent basis, this make things a bit tough for them along the way since they come to a point where resistant becomes an issues and at that time they will begin to lose uncontrollably.

And also the winning money goes to the wrong place. Empty and uncontrolled spending, which can lead to other addictions. For example, it can be alcohol addiction. I read about one such case. One family managed to win a lot of money. Several years passed and people were surprised by what happened to them. They became drunkards and drank away absolutely all the money. It was hard to believe, but this also happens.

Normal gamblers should enjoy the wins, meanwhile addicts probably can't enjoy it due to expecting more wins. That's why we must avoid addiction if we want to enjoy the gambling process. Also, we must be aware to keep thinking realistically. This will ensure us to not expecting something impossible such as winning every time.

This is related to the nature of the people. The family who become drunkards and spend all the winning money, they probably have bad nature. They may have no self-control, no future plan, and no financial management. If a family has no these things, it easily spends everything instantly.

During gambling, for example, if we consider the game in slots, a change of mood occurs in the gambler's head, and this happens very brightly and sharply. In fact, the brightest emotions change very quickly: despair from the fact that the deposit is almost lost, then hope when the bet increases and excitement, and when the increased Bet brings profit, returning the gambler's deposit + winnings, the gambler feels crazy joy, and continues playing. I do not know where else in life a person can experience such fast and bright emotions.

What you say is true. I've experienced the same thing. At the time, my profits were actually many times my initial deposit. However, I had already withdrawn the initial deposit amount, and the profits I earned continued to grow. As time went on, my profits grew larger. However, because I was tempted by the prospect of a bigger win, I continued without any desire to withdraw.

Thinking it was the casino's advantage and that I wouldn't lose my own money, I ventured into placing a fairly large bet. The results were disappointing, as I lost all my winnings. I feel fortunate that I stopped chasing wins after losing.

That hange in mood leads a gambler to overexcite themselves and instead of following their strategy or the patterns that they at first use, they suddenly become greedy and aim for more, and there where the casino will start to win against the gambler as greed leads to create mistakes and bad decision.

It will be more on the side of the house once the gambler already been attached that much either they are experience some wins they'll push for more then lose it back again.

That can happen, and not only in gambling. I remember a story of a popular boxer who made a lot of money because he is good at what he does, and winning many fights. Years later, or when he is near retirement, he spends all his money on gambling, alcohol, and women. After he depleted all his money, he became poor again, living in the province and didn't even have a house of his own or any savings.

Anyway, you are right that a gambler can win millions and just switch to another addiction because he badly wants to spend his money on a luxury that he hadn't experienced before.

Despair from the fact that the deposit is almost lost, then hope when the bet increases and excitement, and when the increased Bet brings profit, returning the gambler's deposit + winnings, the gambler feels crazy joy, and continues playing. I do not know where else in life a person can experience such fast and bright emotions.

The festive mood is the reason why many gamblers admit that they return to gambling, not having the strength to quit it. Many say that they do not care about money, they want to hide and forget about reality among cheerful bright pictures and sounds, timidly hoping that the win is waiting around the corner. Our brain is chemical reactions, and if someone does not know why he wants to play uncontrollably, then this gambler should know that he has become dependent on the substances that our body receives during entertainment. But the trouble is that outside the game the world becomes dull.

It is the mindset of the gamblers, especially newbies. When they win, they think that there is more. It is a common trick by most casinos. However, every casino promotes responsible gambling. Even though casinos wanted more gamblers, it was still the decision of the gambler to fall into addiction or remain responsible. It now depends on how gamblers manage themselves.

Leaving out of control of ourselves will never bring us good but trouble. Therefore, we have to act responsibly, and we don't let our emotions control us.

not only newbies feel this way no matter how much we try to fight it there is still a part of us that hopes we can win again if we just won but sometimes we can rise above that hope and just take the prize and move on

[Dunamisx]

It is not the winning itself that ruins, but the way we reacted or responded to the wining as its coming, this has been happening on several occasions whereby you see that people are winning a bet and before you could realized what's on, they are already taking wrong moves towards anticipating for more, while in the actual sense, gambling don't work in a one way direction, the same way we can win a bet, also comes in the same way each everyone of us has the probability of losing and if care is not taken, we can lose everything together with what has been won at the cause of getting more.

Hmm, I could imagine exactly the feeling when you chase after big wins after losing profits until boom everything disappears. That craving for “one more” hit is the classic chasing behavior in gambling where we increase bets to recoup losses but most of the time end up getting nothing. You know the craving for chasing and once you start increasing bets to recover, your brain gets stuck and your decision-making ability goes out the window. Good thing you stopped chasing losses, that was the hardest but wisest move. So from now on don't forget to set strict limits always focus on withdrawing your initial back, when you make profit keep it as fun money nothing els.
