Want to win big but don’t want to bet big?

[Agbe]

If you have control over how much you can spend out of the money you have and the ones which are disposable, that's a good one, but you also need to study and limit the amount of time which you also spend on the board because you can have an amount limit to spend from your budget, but if you are lucky and get some winnings, that limit might never get finished, which is where time control comes in; if not, you will end up losing that money you manage to win.

Limiting amount we can spend on gambling is important so that we don't have to use all the bankroll to gamble for nothing.
I gamble with the amount I know I can afford to lose and this is the pattern we ought to use and gamble.
Using small stake to bet is better than using big stake and later losing the money for nothing.

Some gamblers set out a particular amount of money as their bankroll for a certain period of time but they end up exhausting it in a day and start funding more money from their bank account. limiting the amount we spend on gambling is very important, a lot of people think that setting out a bankroll automatically makes them responsible gamblers but that's not all, bankroll management is also very vital.

We should not be taking the wrong approach to gambling, because we are being able to win not by how much we stake to bet a game,  irrespective of the amount used, the chances for winning a game is still under probability, so we should expect all this and be well prepared to either win or lose as we Gamble, don't also take the risk you can afford all because you intended to win big.

Yes, and we have to look at it from the most intelligent perspective. If we don't have our health, we can't play. We must be very healthy, both mentally and physically, because only then will we have the energy to participate in activities that demand a lot from us, to manage pressure , control stress, and above all, manage our money, which is my top priority. Many things stem from that, and it can significantly impact our understanding of the game.

If gambling requires such a comprehensive approach from you, along with high stress resistance and even good physical health, then it’s clearly not entertainment for you, but an activity that puts your emotional well-being under serious strain. That alone should make you question whether it’s worth engaging in at all if it affects you this way. I believe gambling should be treated strictly as a form of entertainment. And if playing causes you too much stress, try lowering your bets so that it doesn’t become so overwhelming for you.

If gambling gives you so much stress because of fear and frustration of losing meanwhile you still like to gamble, the solution is to always lower your expectations of winning big and use small amounts to gamble with. This strategy can reduce physical and emotional stress and increase entertainment for you, it is gamblers that wants to get rich through gambling by all means that faces these challenges. If you start to see gambling more as where you can thrill yourself by risking small amounts to test your luck then loses won't hit you badly, you will know that loses are a part of gambling likewise winnings.

So what’s your take on this, is it smarter to go big when you feel confident, or stay safe and settle for small wins?

If you bet big just because you think you will win it is blind betting, you should focus on mathematical analysis. If you keep betting your mind without any observation, you are actually asking variance to mug you. Winning big is not about guts or confidence, it is about value and math. You need to find +EV bet where the odd of winning are higher than the actual odd. You need to set the bet size in such a way that when the bad times come you can survive and your bankroll will gradually grow. That is why I never bet big in a hurry I always play using the Kelly Criterion formula to reduce the risk when betting

Actually nothing is impossible in gambling, it is not uncommon for me to hear or see gamblers who managed to get a big jackpot with little money, even under $10, but yes we all know that the chances are 0.001%, meaning very small.

It does make sense with what the OP said that big wins are more likely to get with big bets but on the other hand we also have to look at the consequences, because in gambling the amount of your bet does not affect the results at the end of the game, so if I myself prefer to bet small, because if we calculate it by percentage then the victory is quite decent.

Probably OP has not hang around with gamblers that understand how to bet multiple bets in long order. This is not they say, it's what I have seen and witness from a guy, he bet $6 to win $1250, this was pure combination of football and basket ball mixed together of different market. I still don't know how he manage to combine those games but I did withness that game and I even became part of his community immediately he won that game that day.

However, there was a catch in that bet. It's always difficult to make that kind of bet and won it again. I tried to play some of his bet, drop a couple of bets after that one and all I keep having is cut 3, cut 2, cut 5. If out of all those games, these are the result he was having then I'm impressed by the outcome, not all gamblers get those kind of close result but I couldn't just stand the loss and I quit but such bettors, they exist and they are very reserved.

It is true that gambling more does not mean winning more, there are many people who start gambling with the wrong mindset, they think that gambling can be a quick and easy way to win a lot of money, in fact, there is a higher chance of losing money than winning money through gambling. It is better to gamble with the money we have the ability to lose from the beginning, as a result, we can maintain self-control over ourselves. Many people become more aggressive after losing while gambling, which is not right at all, as a result, the risk of losing more money increases. By keeping a cool head and gambling correctly, control is maintained and the possibility of addiction is reduced.

This is well said and we need to be smart and make sure that we don't try to make money when their is chances of even losing more money than we have ever imagined. Gambling has a lot of risks and it will be good for gamblers to have a set bankroll for gambling and when exhausted, they don't have to rush and make a deposit because they want to regain their lost funds.

I think if they lost all their balance and want to continue gambling they have to deposit something, but I agree that it shouldn't be for regaining your losses. If can afford to lose $100 to gambling in a month and you want to deposit $100, that's okay, but don't blow it away with the next hour. OR, if you did, don't gamble(and don't deposit) for one month after that.

So what’s your take on this, is it smarter to go big when you feel confident, or stay safe and settle for small wins?

I dont think “going bigger” just because you feel confident is automatically smarter infact this is heavily against when it comes to gambling. Confidence in betting is always emotional, while the outcome is still based on probability and math, so increasing your stake should come from a structured plan and proper bankroll management, not from a feeling in the moment but again dont forget the house edge doesnt disappear because you are bold. For me i think its better to stay disciplined and realistic about returns than to chase massive wins and risk wiping everything out in one move at leaast then you can lose less.

I had once think that winning big does not necessarily demand you to use big amount of money to bet which I had sticked to for several times which from what I can conclude from this is wastage of money.

Instead of betting with small odds like from 2 to 5 odds and putting reason amount of money which can make you win big even if the odd is small but the amount is big. If you try to increase the odds to about 100 odds to 1000 odds, the probability of the bet ending in a win can be 30% of of 100% which is true.

[junder]

I've experienced that I want to get a big win but I don't make a big bet because I don't want to lose, although it can happen too but still the amount of winnings is limited.

And I once took the risk of making a big bet and experienced myself lucky at the time to make me manage to get a big win, but I realized it should not be a habit because the risk of losing is just as great too.

Here we must always follow caution and limits, it is very easy to lose here. It is very possible to lose here, so here we should gamble within a limited range with a certain bankroll that is acceptable to lose. When we set our limits and play with a certain amount, then even if we lose, that loss will always be under control. People exceed their limits only because of excessive expectations, they want to win more and more, that is why they play more and more, and this is the only reason for big losses.

Wrong approach always lead some gamblers to bad results, because there is no way you will win what will make you to repeat the same approach in the future. You can use any amount of money to gamble but make sure you can afford to lose the money in case you lose, because this is where some gamblers is missing it not to experience good mood from gambling.

When you know that there is lost and win in gambling, I don't think you will have anything to worry about when losing or winning in gambling, because you know that if you are not winning today you May win tomorrow to recover what you have lost, which is the best attitude gamblers should acquire before going into gambling.

We’ve all been there, dreaming of that massive win while risking almost nothing. But let’s be honest here, that kind of thinking is the main reason most bettors lose over and over. You can’t expect casino-level payouts if you’re always scared to raise the stake even a little.

It’s like expecting millionaire results with a 10 dollars risk, it just doesn’t happen. If you really want to win big, either go bolder when it makes sense or lower your expectations. Betting isn’t magic, it’s still math.

So what’s your take on this, is it smarter to go big when you feel confident, or stay safe and settle for small wins?

Winning big while betting small is the easiest thing in the world. Just do not expect to win.

The lower your bet the lower your chances of winning a lot of money. But it is still possible. E.g. buy a lottery ticket and you can have the chance to win millions of dollars all at once. But will you? probably not.

But to be honest it is foolish to think you will be better off betting bigger. The result will be the same except you lose even more money.

I prefer betting small amounts and expect only entertainment. That way you do not suffer from anxiety.

Most people are like that too, they think they can get big wins with small capital, hoping to get the jackpot to get nmax wins but it's not that easy to get, even though when using bigger capital when getting a sensational win in slot betting it's very big, if the capital is small it's not that valuable which makes us keep betting and betting to get bigger wins so that when we make a withdrawal we can use it to buy lots of things.

The risk is directly proportional to the reward we get, but the most important thing is to stay within our capabilities.

Yes I agree with you, that is correct not just in gambling but also in other areas where risk are certain.
Staking with high amount is not a warrant for winning big, mostly in sport games.
Many times high stakes leads to desperation for quick recovery of uncalculated losses in gambling.
If we see as gambling as fun and not a business venture for quick money schemes, this will help us to control our staking will.

~ If you try to increase the odds to about 100 odds to 1000 odds, the probability of the bet ending in a win can be 30% of of 100% which is true.

No. If the odds are around 100.00, the probability of the win is low, it's around 1%, actually. So you have to be ready to lose your bet and that's it should be a small one. With 1,000 odds it's even lower, around 0.1%, but winning is not impossible. The vast majority of your bets like that will be lost, but those of them that you win will bring you so much joy that waiting is worth it. So, that's how you can win big even if you don’t want to bet big.

This is the reason I don’t fancy depositing money I intend to use later on the casino, I don’t like seeing money just lying around on the casino account cos I’ll always be pushed to keep playing. So what I do is deposit an amount I wanna just use at that moment so that when it eventually gets exhausted I’ll leave immediately, every gambler actually have their own perspective on matters that concerns bankroll management and that’s completely fine as long as it works perfectly well for you.

It depend on your approach to gambling, if someone decide to gamble for fun, I see no reason why he will want to stake something outrageous that if loss, will not be something he’ll regret, rather,  it’ll be part of the fun, there’s this other set of people that see betting as a get rich quick scheme, those ones that are likely to stake high and still end up losing. It’s not by staking so high, rather gambling relies on luck.

Those who want to gamble for fun do it based on the entertainment they want to get, and such people don't have a big win as part of their plan unless it just happens, and those are not the people the OP is referring to in this thread; those who always want to win big and come out as jackpot winners are the ones who sometimes do go with staking high amounts, and sometimes they stake low, but it depends on the type of game they are playing; that will determine how much could be used to win big.

I more often come across stories about people who try to make money through gambling but end up at the bottom financially instead. Unfortunately, I know such people too closely, so I don’t comfort myself with that illusion. Gambling gives certain emotions and sensations that can be addictive, but everything is good in moderation. So keep yourself under control, you can find less risky and more predictable ways to earn money.
