Do winnings encourage you to gamble often, or are they just another stimulant?

[junder]

When I was new to gambling, the winnings I got were something that made me happy and excited, there was a desire to pursue a bigger win when I had won before. I think everyone who gambles must have experienced something like this, it would be too hypocritical if they didn't admit it. In addition, when I managed to win and managed to withdraw it indirectly, this made me feel confident that in the future I could win again and again, but I forgot that gambling depends on luck with its winnings so it is impossible to always win, especially since we know that the chances of winning in gambling tend to be lower than the chances of losing.

I would take it that lottery isn't your thing, else you would've returned to chase your luck even more starting from that very day you won.

Having a great win stimulates not only the person who secured the wins, but any other person around him, especially if you tasted the winning money with the gambler

I had a friend who detested gambling and always advised me against it. Boom, one day I won about $900+ and pleaded with him to accompany me go get the funds which he agreed and we went, claimed the money and I gave him around $20 tip. Long story cut short, within a little while he started developing interest until he even gambles more than me and we were addicted at the same time.

He keeps blaming me that the tip I gave him that night bewitched him and stimulated him to start gambling, something he detested earlier

I wonder about this because I remember a few years ago playing a triple jackpot I dreamed of, in the old-school lottery, the one where you only bet on a number of 001:999, something similar to the Daily 3 or Pick 3 in the United States. I don't know if these types of games still exist today, but I clearly remember that the time I bet on that winning number was the first and last time I bet on that lottery. I know it was pure luck. Besides, the odds weren't unreasonable; 1/1000 is something that could happen.

For this same reason, despite having been very lucky that day, I never tried again. There was no stimulating factor that would lead me to try betting on that lottery again. So I assume the winnings don't constitute a large enough percentage of the stimulant to make someone become a gambler overnight.

It's probably connected to what experts call "predisposition to gambling". And apparently you don't have it at all. It's just that for many problem gamblers, it's the first easy big win that becomes the beginning of the ladder down to a serious addiction.
Well, congratulations on being truly resilient, because the words "I wish I had never won in the beginning" belong to those who have lost a lot of money in gambling.

I’m not a problem gambler but I do start my interest on gambling by winning big using a small bankroll back when I still exploring online casino.

This positive experience makes me interested to play more due to fun it can give whenever I win. I have a full control on my gambling session and never have an addiction problem.

It’s up to user mindset on how can they handle the effect of their big win.

In theory Yes, winning deeper into online gambling sites, looks more interesting, but I once asked my friend when they won the jackpot.
Do you want to double or bet in large quantities in other games.
The answer is 'no' the answer is simple, one full month I bet and paid never to win the jackpot, this I just felt a big victory, withdraw all the money and left.

From the experience that has happened to the big victory/jackpot of thought back to each individual.

[Mrbluntzy]

Winning encourages me to gamble and I can say it without any doubt that even my friends and a lot of gamblers are stimulated because of the winning they make from gambling or the thought they have in their head that they will win more money when they are gambling. Apart from those that claim that they are not gambling because they want to make money, maybe they will not be stimulated by winning but something else like the fun they want to have while winning is just not a major factor for them.

  why not put it this way -- you've had a better Oriental discipline that big wins don't encourage you to gamble often regardless... There's at least an 85% chances a gambler who played and won would always want to try again. Especially, if the first impression didn't cost him a lot before the wins.

What are these stimulating factors -- if you don't mind, could you list them out for us to learn with you?

What do you think?

  What I think? Well, I don't overthink on simple matters like this. The first and only important reason why we gamble is for the cash, every other thing falls under the secondary factors like you said. It's not rocket science!

In my case, what motivates me most to bet is soccer, as it's a sport I truly enjoy, and also the game of billiards. Although I don't feel addicted to gambling, I recognize that when money or some type of bet is involved, it triggers an extra level of excitement, regardless of how high the sum is.

I believe there are several factors that can influence how much betting stimulates us, including:

The degree of passion for the game or sport in question.

The lifestyle you lead. If your routine is somewhat sedentary, betting can become a fast track to getting that dopamine rush we usually get in social settings or when we go to the gym.

The feeling of winning.

And finally, competition or the desire to outdo others.

I don't know if I'm right, but I think that betting alone is not enough to create a routine and that there must be a combination of certain factors to become a repeat player.

[rachael9385]

Yes. It's simple math.

You winning more money, you bet more money and losing with the big money you are winning will ecourage you to deposit more and bets more or even bigger due the losses. It's basic math, mostly is like that.

Even my self, doing these.

It's an endless cycle of repeated events, the more you win the more you want to keep playing. But overtime I had to instill the habit of giving it a break after winning because I know what might come next if I continue. This is what gambling is all about you win and lose, the only way your profits can be utilized is when you take a long break after winning. The ones that truly win from gambling are those that stop totally after winning

[DaNNy001]

Yes. It's simple math.

You winning more money, you bet more money and losing with the big money you are winning will ecourage you to deposit more and bets more or even bigger due the losses. It's basic math, mostly is like that.

Not everyone gambles like this, winning encourages you to gamble more because that's greed controlling you... it's human nature to give into such temptations, I used to get too comfortable when I'm on a winning streak, it makes me want to deposit more and keep pushing my luck but experience has taught me a lesson, you need to be more careful when you are winning, if possible lock your account after winning

Sometimes having a lucky win can be very scary, you know how slim the chances are of winning especially when it's a big odd, for some people winning from such might be a trigger to continue gambling while others might decide to take a break. As for me whenever I win I always slow it down for a while because I know that there's a high chance of losing everything my profit if I'm not careful

This is true, started to bet small at first and making win, feeling lucky your bets will go higher and still wining and that is fun and good  as you can gain from it.
as you are on the top betting  bigger thatn usual you will experience defeat. you will  bet more as you think yo will hit bigger and get what you lose.
But you will just  start to bet bigger and  lose more. Its a trap!

I don't think this is a fact and just your own assumption, winnings motivate me to continue and so do all the gamblers I met, we have two goals why we are betting and these are to have fun and make money if there is an opportunity,
the main factor that activates your dopamine is being rewarded for something you did.

Although winnings are not something you expect when you expect and this is one of the main goals, I have never seen a gambler who is not excited about his winnings It is the materialization of his desires, it's a motivating factor for him to continue.

So why are we chasing our losses and analyze and do a research on our bets if winning is not something that motivates, even if we are motivate to play for fun still in the back of our mind we are thinking and hoping to win money, I agree its for every gamblers preferences there are gamblers who play for the sake of playing but I can assume that majority of gamblers are motivated to win money.
I have been into a cockpit arena and horse racing betting stations and even lottery and the excitement of thinking that they can hit the jackpot encourages them to do better in their bet.

[PrivacyG]

you need to be more careful when you are winning, if possible lock your account after winning

That takes a few big hits to the stomach before you actually get it right and realize the temporary lack of awareness and caution can destroy your life.  Locking the account up after winning, I really wonder how many people do this.  It seems like something that is least likely to happen after a win.

Fund management is the first thing to do.  You won?  Withdraw the chunk and play the rest.  But even that is very hard to follow by a lot of people.  Unfortunately, like I previously said, before gambling one really needs to make sure they are mentally there.  If you end up gambling in the middle of an unstable mental state, you crash really easy.

I agree with you that winning will always be in the mind of a gambler despite that he's playing fof fun.  However, profit shouldn't be our focus and target because it will make one incur more losses. If you are gambling for fun and we win your bet, that will make your enjoy the fun more.

In whatever activities that we partake in, it's better for you to bring out the best in you even when gambling because you don't know if your strategy can give you a big win.

That's right mate, gambling with the mindset of getting reworded from it will eventually make you lose more money. For a better way of gambling, it's better to gamble with the intention of entertainment than making money because that way, you will enjoy the fun. Although, you will enjoy the fun more when you begin to win. All gamblers want to see themselves win but the fact that you keep on gambling when you have the free time and the amount you can't afford to lose, one day you will also win.

The moment you start to win, that’s when you should start being strategic with your betting because if you allow the wins to for to your brain - you’ll start to increase your bet like you said and if you make any mistake that leads to a lose of bet; you’d lose more than you’ve been winning because of the increment of your betting amount.

This is actually related to my previous response to this thread, where users tend to have more confidence in their bet and as a result of such confidence they’ll start to increase their betting amount and a single loss would clear up all the profits they had from several wins.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Any action that brings us positive emotions is recorded in our memory as something we can repeat regularly. This applies to absolutely everything. The experience of a successful game will definitely bring us back to the game, but there must be an understanding of what we are doing. If we soberly assess the chances of winning, and once we get it, we form a positive experience, which cannot be said about losses. Here, everything is just the opposite. If we play and do not get either good emotions or profit, is it not reasonable to stop this activity? Going ahead in gambling seems madness. Simply accepting the fact that gambling is not for everyone is the conclusion of common sense.

Casinos wanted to make every gambler feel the urge to win more. That is why they let new gamblers win in their early days and make them think that there is more to come. Just like what you said, there is always a pursuit because it appears in their mind that it is easy to win here. Unfortunately, every day is not always a good day for us.

That is why we should not fall in love with gambling because the moment we fall into addiction, the harder it is to control ourselves.

[danherbias07]

Yes. It's the desire to feel the win again after getting a high multiplier. That happened to me, and I still cannot stop thinking about all the high multipliers that I won. I can still remember them all up until now, even though it happened many months ago. It's like it's all fresh for me.

This is one of the reasons why the gambling business is growing. They know that a person cannot just go away even after a big win. They will come back for more, that's for sure. There are no losses if you are the gambling business owner, but a gambler will lose. Imagine doing it every day and just getting one high multiplier after spending way too much. That's what makes us lose because of our greed.
