[rachael9385]

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.

Greed will always be a part of human nature but for someone that's disciplined you must learn to control it so that it doesn't cloud your judgement and your decisions. Most gamblers make profit from gambling but at the end of the day they end up losing everything as a result of greed. Contentment is a virtue and is something that's important to have as a gambler, learn to walk out with what you have a after winning

Yes greed is an atom that every human being has but it can be controlled depending on how discipline and determined someone is but sometimes it is always very hard to control or overcome because of the need and desire one have at that particular time. Even though I would like to say greed is not good I would also like to let  us know that greed can be good sometimes and it has helped people acquire or achieve what they wouldn't have achieved or acquire if they didn't chose to be greed but in gambling we don't or we can't really tell when to be greed or not because you don't know if you would make more profit or not if you continue.

Isn't that, comes under chasing the loss?

To an extent it can be true, winning a huge amount of money that is not big to change your life but something like your entire montly salary in a day then you can get into an illusion like you found a way to make easy money and change your life in a very short term and that's how greed takes over the rational thinking leading to chaos.

Be responsible and keep in mind why you started to gamble.

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.

It all depends on how you handle your wins, being drunk in your wins forgetting that life continues after that wins will ruin your entire life if not carefully taken care of .

A lot of gamblers find themselves in these situations because they all their selfishness to control them and their greedy nature based on that, after winning they keep playing hoping to win more and before they know it, they are filled with regrets left with nothing and looking for funds to cater for themselves.

Each time I win in gambling all I do is just to stop and walk away with whatever I have gotten, because gambling still continue,using all your wins and even above it mean you are chasing your losses and don't even know when to stop.

[HONDACD125]

There was a time when I managed to win a decent amount of money in slots. Then I hit the daily jackpot and there was still money on the deposit. My happiness knew no bounds. What did I do? To please myself and stop gambling for a while, I went and bought household appliances for the family, bought a good mobile phone. Well, and a little more in small things. I am glad that I did not start playing again. I am sure that all this money would have been lost in a jiffy.

Lucky you, most people can't do that when they win something from gambling, because greed hits them hard, and they start thinking that if they could win $2,000, they can make it $4,000 as well. So they go ahead and start gambling again with the money, and eventually, lose everything and then regret it, but what's the point? You have to think about the consequences beforehand and realize that if things go south, there is nothing you can do, so now, when the time is still in your hands, you should use it the right way.

I wonder how those people feel who win large amounts in lottery, which has even slighter chances of winning than gambling games, and then they spend it all on either lottery tickets trying to get a bigger win, or gamble it all away with the intent to become richer with the money because they became overconfident after the win. In a moment, you could change your life with an amount you had in your hands, and in the second moment, you have nothing left of it.

Gambling can be brutal, and only those who can act the right way at the right time can actually enjoy it.

I could really imagine someone who wins the jackpot prize. It entirely changes their lifestyle and spending habits. Instead of stopping gambling and starting passive income opportunities, he becomes more addicted to gambling and spends a lot until it reaches the point that he gambles everything he wins and is empty.

Perhaps it is the greed that makes someone fall into the trap of chasing. That is why there is a need to balance our lives and be content. Otherwise, we easily find ourselves broke even if we have already won big.

[Shadiq]

For those who have no control over themselves, gambling is just a trap or a trap to lose money. Whether you lose or win, the greed for money will take you to the edge of the abyss. A self-controlled gambler will never fall into the trap of temptation or lose everything in excitement while winning. Because he knows how much he has to play and how much he is comfortable losing. But for an uncontrolled person, everything is a trap. Because whatever he does, he will get excited and lose.

Having a desire to have something more is natural to all of us, yet the desire to have more can hurt us when it becomes uncontrollable. In gambling, I have observed that it is not the smart person, it is the person that knows when to quit. When we get the first success, then greed follows and we begin to consider ourselves invincible, and we no longer will play with the goal to win, but in order to become satisfied with our desire which is going wilder every time. When you can not say that enough is enough then whatever you have won before will serve as a lure to descent. Limits have to become a kind of strength and not a weakness. One who knows how to call it quits when he wins, is not a loser, he is a winner instead, not because blind cravings but voluntarily.

Have you ever seen people buying a huge number of lottery tickets? I have seen this. There is a local post office where these very tickets are sold. Elderly people come and start buying a considerable amount of money. For what? They think that the quantity increases the chances of winning. But I have not seen any winners among them. All this resembles a fraud at the state level. It is so disgusting when elderly people are tricked out of their last money that they could spend on their own needs. After all, pensions in my country are very modest.

Talking about self-control, we can say that self-control creates a barrier between the gambler's gambling and losses. Due to this barrier, the gambler does not face any major disaster. Those who will control themselves will also face gambling wins or losses, but the difference is that an addicted gambler will risk all his assets, but the one who is able to control himself will be able to get out of that situation before the situation gets worse.

exactly, you have to know how to manage your emotions and know how to control yourself, I know it's not easy but you have to do it and it saves you from many other bad things in life.
Life is like a game, it only takes a moment and it can end badly, play responsibly.

[Hannah$]

A gambler gambles mainly for the enjoyment of it, but sometimes he wins by a stroke of luck. From this win, his addiction to it gradually increases. When he wins while gambling, gamblers play it in the hope of more profit and gradually become emotional, lose control and face losses. I have noticed that winning is one of the reasons for losses. Winning in gambling is not a problem, but becoming addicted to it is a huge problem.

[nara1892]

If, for example, they are gamblers who understand the actual concept of gambling, then in my opinion winning will not be a trap, those who are trapped by those who are greedy and those who are greedy are those who do not understand what and how the concept of gambling works, especially in terms of results.

This is the reason why we must always know what we are actually facing because that way every decision will be based on measured considerations and when you have the right understanding then you will know how to face a winning situation instead of being greedy and chasing bigger amounts.

[Accardo]

Self control works wonders in all walks of life and in gambling it puts out the uniqueness in every player. Too many of which suffer from lack of discipline complains by alot about the tricky nature of gaming. While it's not easy, self control is learnable, and pays out on the long term; emotionally and financially.

[Jaycoinz]

You actually have a point here, gambling is two sides of a coin. Some people get addicted to gambling when they start chasing and others get addicted when they started winning, both are capable of making people addicted to gambling. It's easy to get carried away when you are winning, greed can take over and you won't be satisfied with whatever amount you are getting. The best thing to do is to control yourself

When you do have that desire, then you would be thinking about on playing no matter what. It doesnt matter about on what other people would be thinking as long you are that doing on what you do have in mind. You would definitely be having those thoughts that you are spending your own money on which its none other business on what you should gonna do on it and thats the main mentality that we do have at the time that we do gamble. On the moment that we are winning then you would be having those thoughts that you will be might still those further more winnings on which this will be causing up for you to bet or roll even more or simply you had that become greedy already. You should be that making yourself be wary about into the actions that you've been that dealing into. You cant just that make yourself being confident that you can win up even more money at the time that you do gamble or making up some winnings. You might be a winner for some time but later on those results or outcome would be that totally different and thats why you should be wise on taking profits while you still can.

Winning could ruin you too not only just that losing because at the time that you do become greedy on what you've been that doing. Its important that you should be wary into the actions that you are taking and not just that simply trying out to make money but generally it would be that on having the intent to have that more fun and entertainment rather than on focusing on making money. These are people who do usually fall into the trap and this what gambling sites do want on which they would be that losing it back again those winnings plus their capital and this what makes that them profitable. Pay into the amount on which you can afford to lose and never make yourself that be wanting to ask for more at the time that you are winning. Always secure and buying up something which is important or something that you can hold rather than on losing it back again into the house. There are just that those who are that too naive on doing this just because they've been blinded with their own greed. If they are just that sensible then they would be able to avoid these such problems.

[silpersurfer]

It all depends on how we respond to winnings, because gambling isn't just about fun but also about satisfaction. All gamblers feel happy when they win, but are they truly satisfied with their winnings? Greed has led them into a never-ending cycle of gambling. They keep spinning the wheel in hopes of winning even bigger than they already have. Whether they can achieve it is possible when they're lucky, but in reality, doing so will only wipe out their potential winnings and deepen their losses, leaving them with nothing but regret for their foolish gambling behavior. This is something to avoid: when you win, take your winnings immediately, and don't assume you can win even bigger at the same time, just because you think luck is on your side that day.

Sometimes winning may be equally damaging as losing, as it may escort to overconfidence  & chasing behaviour. You know we have the tendency to get overconfident after winning, we start to think that we are on control, which may force us to increase the amount  also riskier-bet,  ultimately we end up slipping when luck turns against us. So most often gamblers tend to wager more or play longer,  due to loses or winings, especialy when they run behind success or try to recover the lost money. You could call it win chasing or loss chasing whatever, it is kinda feedback loop that very few player know how to get out of. So we should be sharp enough to counter such kind of human bias &  stay away from falling for these shit that may later become the cause of our regrets.

According to your own statement, it’s not the winning that makes people lose rather their behavior itself which is over confidence.

I don’t view winning negatively no matter what angle I see it because it’s an additional money on your bankroll which is beneficial to all of us.

However, being over confident is a different matter since it’s your own choice to do that and you are using profit as an excuse to gamble for more.

[Dunamisx]

It is not the winning we made that can be devastating on us, but the way we chose to go about how to utilize the winning opportunity or celebrate, we can see lot of instances, whereby some won and earn a reasonable amount of money to avail not, after misbehaving at the cause of being over excited on the opportunity.

Or do we squandered the money and lavish everything to nothing without thinking about investing or having savings for the future, this is more about how we are behaving rather than the winning itself, when the chances comes in, what are the necessary steps we are taking to ensure we stay safe in gambling and never that any winning opportunity for granted, because such may be the last big catch.
