Illusion of control

[Promocodeudo]

Greed and misunderstanding are the only things that can make a gambler feel this way. Some gamblers believe so much in themselves that they think they can recover any money they have lost by gambling.

The problem with gamblers is that they are not being realistic about gambling; they approach it with just their own understanding. That is why they think they can gamble without realizing they are harming themselves even more.

You're right, there are gamblers who think that they have gone roo far in gambler and for that they know how to go about the gambling thing in the aspect of getting back their loses but thats funny because, if as a gambler, you weren't able to win earlier, you later think that you can win all your lose may be because of the deceit in your mind then serious losing awaits such gambler, the best way to go about gambling is by allowing by gone to be by gone, letting go of the past, concentrating in things that are about to come nothing more, not all gamblers falls to this cheap trap, I believe that there are many responsible gamblers out there who won't dance to this tune.

If a player has lost before, then it is useless to wait for something to change in the future, for this you need to change your approach, strategy, possibly bankroll management and much more. And if you just wait for it to change itself, then this will definitely not happen, because nothing will change by itself. Sometimes players after a loss try to increase the deposit and try again, but this is a sure-fire loser, because first you need to change something, because under the same conditions the result will remain the same.

If what you just said is paid close attention to, you'd group gamers with this kind of thoughts as very close to compulsive gambling. Instincts can a lot of times fail gamblers, and convincing enough to lead players into high rolling, over a pure profit. When the money keep going, the gamer coin new strategies. After the process and no big win, gamblers begin to accept the state of mind of being unlucky. This conclusion, unknowingly affects emotional and productive level in other life responsibilities - poor or slow body movements, which could attract the attention of a close friend or relative, that something is wrong somewhere.

If you get statistical and logical, you will remove these thoughts and you will not become overconfident or superstitious.

Logic says that if we wish to win, we need to take some risks and place some bets... Whatever happens after placing a bet is out of our control. And we can be overconfident or superstitious, but that doesn't affect the outcome in any way. Overconfidence & superstition can affect people to bet more, or even to risk money they can't afford to lose, just because they really believe it's their moment.

We can't control wins & losses, but we can control our actions. How much we deposit, how we play the game... we can try to control ourselves and stop & hit the withdrawal button when it's time for that.

So let's place some bets & hope for the best outcome, and never forget to play only with the money you can afford to lose.

Gambling should come with an understanding, those that have the wrong expectations in playing games always fall under the category of those being disappointed, because they are not going through the right approach to gambling, instead they are on a wrong mentality and work by what is merely impossible to achieve in gambling, these will lead to one action and the other until everything became obvious that everyone knows and sees them.

[Floxynice]

Illusion of control is the major cause of all the problems gamblers are facing. I have been in a situation where I tell myself confidently that I will take a certain action just once, after that one trial, I will call it a day. But somehow, it doesn't always end at the first trial, it goes on and on. Just maybe if I admitted from the beginning that I don't have full control, some precautions would have been taken.

All the huge losses, addictions and messes gamblers get into are as a result of the confidence they had in themselves not to go beyond their limits. Newbies and older gamblers are all guilty of this.

[Porfirii]

More than in pure gambling, I think that the illusion of control is more typical in sports bets and card games like blackjack or poker, where skills play a role, but not enough to securing victory.

Because, if you play a game that is based on pure chance, you must fool yourself in order to believe that you have any control over the results. Better call it delusion of control. But the illusion of control is the belief of being skilled and, therefore, capable of circumventing chance, like those who build an intricate strategy, or believe blindly in the effectiveness of training, or analysis (with TA it's the same, btw).

It's true, and it's evident from his facial expressions and way of speaking that when he wins, he puts his words into action. But when he loses, he often withdraws, thinking, "Where else will I get more funds to play again?" His ultimate fantasy is winning the fight and recouping all the capital he's previously spent.

I think whatever it is, when it's time for a break, it's best to relax, join friends, and laugh for a while to relieve the stress. There are still plenty of opportunities if he wants to return in a more relaxed mood and less mentally stressed by his previous defeat.

What really makes a gambler lose? Is it greed? Well it is the illusion of control. Illusion of control leads to continued gambling and the more a gambler plays the more the casinos win, right? As a gambler, you should be able to identify these illusions so you can at least get a hold of yourself...

Very often, the motive that makes a player return to the game is the fact that the player wants to win back after losing and thereby loses even more money. And this happens instead of stopping the game and returning to it the next day when the emotions calm down.

Many gamblers believe they can control the outcome of their gambling with a strategy or approach they believe will guarantee a win. However, this is simply an illusion, as no matter what strategy a gambler uses, it will never guarantee a win. Gambling, essentially, operates on a system designed to benefit the operator in the long run. This is why so many gamblers end up suffering heavy losses, because they mistakenly believe they can outsmart the system, when in fact, they cannot.

Absolutely right, no one can outsmart the system because it was designed for gamblers to lose. This is the reason why it's funny to me when some gamblers come up with strategies and claim to have a sure system that works, my first question is always "what makes you think someone else hasn't thought of this, tried it and and failed". Having control over gambling outcomes is impossible and experienced gamblers know that

[Jaycoinz]

Both greed and the illusion of control can make gamblers lose. Gambling is designed to favour the house in the long run, this is how the system is programmed. It's okay to have certain strategies but it's delusional to think that this is a guaranteed way that you can keep winning. Most people think they have a control over certain games especially when they are skilled based but this is actually a trap

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Victories are never guaranteed, but for example in the sports field you have an extra probability if you know how to read the games, that's why I prefer this type of bets above all, I don't choose too many games, I moderate the amount of money, and I enjoy the journey win or lose, I think it's the healthiest thing possible, because if one goes chasing money in bets we are starting off on the wrong foot.

That's the very good way to go about sports betting, don't take it as your source of income, go along with the amount of money you can afford to lose and always know that you can not be accurate all the time, if you have a good knowledge about the games you are betting on and also a regularly viewer who watches the games and read highlights, you will definitely  have an edge of coming up with good predictions and can be winning regularly.

Therefore, perhaps the best ways to win something in a casino are preferences in games where not only luck can influence the outcome of the game, but also the gambler himself, and these are games such as poker or blackjack.
However, these are games that require the ability to analyze and study in advance the strategy and general game approaches, so its are not for everyone.
If someone does not want to think and strain in a casino, then he should count on the fact that his chances of winning will be dictated solely by luck on this day.

Well, it is all about greed that drives something like this "terrible illusion." Why? Because when a person thinks about money and winning at the casino, all the things that appear in their mind are about winning. And they will do anything to make it happen. Unfortunately, casinos don't allow it. Instead, casinos make use of it to make these greedy gamblers lose more.

As long as we've been driven by greed, there's no way to find satisfaction and happiness in gambling. Instead, this will easily put us into the trap of addiction.

Yeah, I think you're right.

At the end of the day greed is the main driver of casinos and gamblers.

Ultimately only of them gets the money though, and it is usually not the gamblers.

[MainIbem]

Ofcourse, the house would always be on the winning edge, infact they use the funds lost by other gamblers to settle lucky winners. There are things every gamblers should take note of so they won't have the illusion of being controlled towards a habit that could lead to constant lose, one is that every gambler should acknowledge the house edge, avoid being too greedy is another thing and also acknowledge that they won't always win. If every gambler can take note of these three things I've mentioned maybe it could help reduce the pandemic of irresponsible gambling which always leads to addiction.

Well said dude, you know what greed is the root and the foundation of losing in gambling, some gamblers mindset is very much bad, some people be like, I will use the money I make from gambling to buy a very big house and establish myself but isn't this the illusion itself, it baffles me when I see some gambling wallowing in self deceit, thinking highly impossible things, am aware that we can actually win  big in gambling but am not aware that winning in gambling is certain or assured and this is where most gamblers get it wrong, I think most gamblers should change their mentality about gambling, if not for greedy that leads to individual gamblers thinking that they make casinos run out of business is the reason for reckless and uncontrollable gambling that in turn favours the casinos by making them more rich which I don't blame casinos for anyones stupidity.

Don't play against the house then and your strategies have a bigger likelihood of creating wins in the long term, assuming that they are good strategies.

At the end of the day greed is the main driver of casinos and gamblers.

Greed is the main driver of casinos? Greed is the main driver of any company then? 

Ultimately only of them gets the money though, and it is usually not the gamblers.

That's how the world works. The consumer of anything is not the one who is supposed to be getting money for their consumption.

The only rights approach gambling have is when you have a budget especially when you have a weekly and the monthly budget on your gambling, except that gambling does not have any right approach, sometimes what triggers some people to be addicted in gambling is when they are chasing their losses, so I believe that is one thing that makes some people who is into gambling to be addicted and gambling without knowing

And the one who want to benefit from gambling should not gamble under pressure and also make a research In previous events in gambling so that it will compare I know the right thing to follow, in summary gambling attention that is why you need to make sure that you investigate well before you Gamble to make a profit it will definitely lead you to addition
