why do people get carried away by their winnings

[Awaklara]

Usually I have came across few topics where they kept saying that when they should stop if they were winning, and I was like do they really understand why they are gambling?

Some gamblers are satisfied with small wins, but there are also those who prioritize and chase big victories. I think this is also related to the games being played. Gamblers find it hard to stop when they win, possibly because they truly enjoy gambling. For such gamblers, the duration of the game is very important to help them finish their gaming session. Ideally, a big win should end the game, but if what they get is a small win, some gamblers might think it's better to lose everything rather than settle for just small wins.

Okay as a gambler it's always important to set winning limits or losing limits, this would also help you reduce addiction and also help you to manage your fund when gambling because they wouldn't be that carried away while gambling.

Depends on the purpose for which an individual is gambling. A few do it for fun, so there's no biggie if they don't stop when they're winning. However, it will be a totally different story for the gamblers who are always chasing a huge win. It's not that they need to understand why they are gambling, but what they need to understand is how gambling works. In the long run, as a person gambles, he will only accumulate nothing but losses. It might not always gonna be the case for everyone, but for the majority.

Those who start gambling in a new situation have good luck because the chances of winning in gambling are high in a new situation. Again, there are some people who have some money in a new situation and then their interest in gambling increases, which eventually leads to them becoming addicted to gambling. Therefore, one should never be excessively greedy while gambling. Whenever excessive greed is shown, the chances of winning in gambling will decrease at that time.

It was a true revelation to me when I learned that many long-time gamblers themselves no longer understand why they even win the money they started it all for in the first place. They realized it had become a game of dopamine, and so even when they win a good amount of money, it's just a way to hang on to the game as long as possible.

It's a terrifying situation, like a donkey chasing a carrot dangled from its head.
Therefore, it is necessary to constantly evaluate our condition when constantly playing gambling games.

Obviously this is an act commonly seen among gamblers. A gambler lose control after any big win because the experience activates the brain's reward system, releasing dopamine and creating an avenue of seeking the flexing of gambling, this often leads to the tendency of taking more risk, where previous wins are gambled away more freely.

Early big wins can also create a false believe of control or the illusion that big payouts will repeat, provoking a desire to win back losses or achieve another bigger win, ultimately leading to further risks and unnecessary increase of gambling behavior.

Once greed takes over a gambler, even if they win a large amount, I am pretty sure they won’t immediately stop gambling to cash out their winnings. Instead, they’ll keep playing even more, thinking they can win an even bigger prize.

But if there’s no greed, I’m also sure that the gambler won’t get carried away. Once they know they’ve already won a decent amount from gambling,
they will willingly stop playing and cash out their winnings.

Of course, it is better to gamble within a limit. At least until you can maintain a limit, you will not be able to keep your decisions stable. Because when you start gambling and keep gambling, you will not immediately realize how much time you are spending on gambling and how addicted you are to it. For this reason, you will not be able to maintain any kind of limit if you do not start gambling with a limit plan from the beginning. I agree that a limit is definitely necessary when gambling.

It's normal to get carried away once in a while especially with gambling...There have been cases of people that haven't gotten a particular amount of money before but they manage to get lucky and get through gambling, this can make them overly excited and carried away..another way people get excited by their winnings is when they keep on chasing more profits after winning hoping that they can keep on making profit

It's a habit that some people battle with controlling it, and if it's not controlled, you know it can in turn have a negative effect on the gambler, especially in the aspect of leading the person to go back to spending that amount they have won because they would want to win more than they have already won.

That's exactly why i always think the best time to be more cautious is when they have actually secured a win, because a lot can happen within that period of time, that excitment can push people into doing some crazy things, and that's why it's advisable to first of all withdraw whatever you win out of your casino account, maybe you can leave a little amount amount there for later, but don't leave evrythinh there, else you'll definitely feel like trying again and pushing your luck further and that is mostly where the problem starts.

Wise thing to do is to withdraw your earnings and if you still like to play back just leave small portions in your wallet to satisfy your desire playing again, but like you said taking out your profits and enjoy while you still have it brings additional enjoyment with your gambling, unlike if you push forward and aim for more, you'll find yourself ends up losing back everything together with your initial deposit.

I readily believe that many gamblers, flushed by a few successful wins (and thus a boost to their bankroll), begin to experience insane happiness and feel like kings of the world. It's easy to feel this when we watch movies about them, but is such behavior sustainable? After all, after a while, this fairy tale will end, leaving them depressed and penniless if they continue to rely solely on their feelings.

Yes stopping when you are winning is not a bad idea and it is not wrong and I know the reason why people gamble is for money or profit but at same time someone needs to be wise, if someone have been winning and all of a sudden they start losing, it will be wise for that gambler to back off or better still go home if it is a gaming hall. The fact that you are gambling for money doesn't mean you should gamble till you lost all you have won from them that is stupidity and foolishness if you ask me, wisdom is very important and necessary because even the Bible said we should get wisdom and in all thine getting that we should get understanding.

Essentially, stopping and taking a break is always recommended in any situation, and when you're in a winning situation, it really depends on you. This depends on your goal. For example, if your goal is entertainment and you're still not feeling well, then it's okay to continue playing. Just remember that the amount you're betting is an amount you're prepared to lose so that when the situation turns into a losing streak, you won't regret it.

I do the same, but sometimes I stop and cash out my winnings. I don't set a specific amount. Essentially, when the amount exceeds my bankroll and I start to get bored, I cash out.

The thing is, winning inspires. In Russian, there's a saying, "dizzy with success." It's a very accurate one. The paradox is that winning, especially frequent winnings, is dangerous because it creates the illusion of omnipotence and kills critical thinking. Deep down, a person understands that their winnings are random, but a string of wins makes them believe in their own genius. It's nice to believe, but people love to deceive themselves. People love to believe in all things beautiful, and especially in the idea that they are exceptionally talented, a genius, and that they are special in everything. And then, when a losing streak suddenly begins, a person's emotions change, they sober up, and only then do they develop a critical attitude toward their abilities.

For those that gamble for fun, is very easy for them to set their winning limit and losing limits in gambling because they don't take gambling as an investment like the way some gamblers do, when you win from gambling, you don't need to organize a party that will make you to spend all the funds you won from gambling, you need to save some funds that will allow you to continue gamble to bring another luck that will help you to establish a good investment that will make you financial stable in gambling, This is the reason some experience gamblers keep advicing new gamblers to have a daily budget on gambling so that they will know their limit whenever they are winning or losing in gambling, and it will be easy for them to quit immediately.

That is right because if someone sees their friends win, they want to have the same feeling. So that attracts them to playing gambling and even some of them will use more money without care with their losses before. They realize that the winning will be random. Only those who have the luck will have a chance to win so they want to chase it. But if somehow they are losing, they will not stop for a while and take a deep breath but they will continue and want to chase the win.
