Big stake, low stake

[Africolo]

Most people don't know that the level of amount you use for gambling also determine the kind of win you take home big risk takers go home with the meat at the table well low risk takers go home with left overs I mean no disrespect to people who gamble with low budget though gambling is supposed to be fun but even at that we are supposed to take risk as the popular saying goes only those who takes risk make it big so when gambling enjoy the game and take higher risk

A hard fact, you can't bet with a little amount of money and expect a huge substantial amount as payout, those who take the risks in betting a good and reasonable amount of money wins big if their luck had shine on the day they staked with a big amount, no one stake with a big amount of money and win a small amount of money, it's not possible and I haven't seen anyone that bets with a huge amount and doesn't win big either.

The higher risk we take, the higher amount we win that's the logic of gambling. Though it's not as if one can't bet with a little amount of money and win big but it's very rare and before you can win such games you must have been on loosing streak for a long time due to the low amount you must have being staking with. For example, if you stake 100naira to win 700 thousand you have to book multiple games and it will be on a running slip so you can see that it will be difficult to win big when you stake small or low. The amount we stake determines our wins in gambling.

You got a valid point here, it’s better people move pass their emotions and increases their stake , it’s either you go harder or go home , I have seen many who would have won a jackpot but their mindset limit them , it’s better to take a risk, we all knows that gambling has uncertainty, which means winning and losing is never guaranteed, but if you take the risk and go harder and  luck shine on you , at least one will be sure of his potential win , in as much as we are asked to gamble with what we can afford to lose , it always amuse me to see what most people gamble with, that is why most risk takers always go home with the best .

This is the kind of mindset that ruins a gambler's financial life and then turn them into paupers, please if you gamble with this mindset better desist from it before it gets too late.... I don't think it is even ideal for gamblers to push beyond their limit and stake with the amount that they can't afford to lose, all coz they are trying to going harder... It has already been said a whole lot of times on this board that gambling is and never will be a guaranteed way of making money, and so it best that folks always gamble with the mindset that their money can go at anytime, and when this is done it will make it much more easier for the gambler to use the amount that he/or she very well know they can afford to use, regardless of whether the amount is small...

It is wrong for a gambler to gamble with more than what they can afford to lose in the name of  going harder. This will only result to chasing after losses and desperation will set in.
Gambler is supposed to set a limit for themselves and then stick to that limit instead of going beyond it by gambling with what they can afford to lose. It is mostly an addicted gambler that makes the mistakes of gambling with more than what they can afford to lose and using money that they are supposed to used for other things for gambling. Gambling is a game of luck and understanding this will help any gambler avoid the mistakes of putting more than they can afford to lose in gambling.

It is true that big stakers will win big amounts compared to low stakers who can mostly win small amounts, I'm sure that all of us will like to be big stakers so that we can be winning big but what is the possibility. We should remember that big stakers loses so much money compared to low stakers who only lose what they can afford to so it means that big stakers takes far higher risks than the ordinary low stakers. People that gambles for fun should be low stakers because they are not pursuing huge life changing wins in gambling but those that are gambling for money can go ahead with big stakes so that if they win it can change their lives.

It is true that the possible amount you will get at the end of the game depends on how much you sacrifice to bet, as you have described OP that the bigger the capital you bring, the bigger the chance of winning, I think for this problem it depends on the gamblers themselves because everyone has their own tastes and abilities, but for me honestly I still stick to small bet amounts, it doesn't matter even though the chance of winning is also small but the most important thing is that I go home with money even though the amount is small and also the most important thing is that I still avoid the risk of big losses.

It's also important for me to understand that I'm leaving with money, because I know the game will continue tomorrow or next week, and I won't have to look for money to play if I suddenly get too tempted. In any case, I'm not someone who likes to bet everything and see the outcome all or nothing. I'd rather stretch out the game, each bet, to enjoy the process, analysis, consideration, and risk assessment. That's what I play for, and I don't need to bet too much, which will ultimately knock me out.

The get rich quick syndrome is what makes most gamblers to have that kind of mindset, and it's because of this mindset that most of them ends up playing with someone's money without the person's permission for them to use the money and after they have lost it, they start seeking for a way to regain back the money by using more money to chase losses and at the end of the day, they are fighting for their life since they are already in a hot sit.

That is the thing which makes gambling so dangerous. It initiates the thoughts in a person of winning lots of money. They persuade him into thinking gambling will make them rich effortlessly and they use gambling as a "get rich quick" scheme. This is not a way gambling should be seen as it's really dangerous for the amount you gamble. The Greed for money and the Ego of recovering money you lost leads to a person using other people's money without any hesitation because the feeling of Greed is much greater. IMO it should be see just as an entertainment and if a person gambles he should with smaller portions/low stake.

I have always supported betting big than betting low. And this strategy comes with lots of benefits. I quite understand that betting big does not guarantee winning, more especially when you are unable to make careful selections before placing your own bet. But betting big can minimize the risk of loosing your bet. For instance, let's say you are placing your bet with a staking power of $1000 and odd of 2.00, if this bet is successful, you make a profit of $1000 extra , and with a thoughtful research and analysis, the probability of winning this bet is very high. On the other hand, if you are a low bettor , and you want to win thesame $1000 with low stake of just $10, you have to accumulate about 100 odds which gives you very low probability of winning. With this illustration, someone with big staking power can record more winning streak while the low bettor can gamble throughout a season without recording a single win.

Honestly the real issue here is risk management, not the amount of the bet. If you play big one wrong decision can lead to a big loss, which is very difficult to recover. In my opinion it is more important to play according to your bankroll not more or less. Small consistent wins are often more stable in the long term. Because in the end survival is what matters regular small wins are much safer than one big win.

[famososMuertos]

It is true that the possible amount you :://::

OP that the bigger the capital you bring, the bigger the chance of winning,
:://::.

The probability of winning isn't directly related to the bet amount or your bankroll. Betting $100 or $1000 (etc.) doesn't improve your odds.

In fact, "big stake" and "low stake" are relative to each player and are defined solely by the fiat currency range. There are countries where millions are bet, but that's not considered "big stake."

That's another misconception surrounding the "big stake" category. For example, 1 BTC might be considered a big stake, while 0.1 BTC might be for others, and so on.

[Somto9Light]

To me taking a big risk doesn't mean staking a lot, it means bet with a very small win chance, like 1% or even much less than that. And if I win, I go home "with the meat at the table", as you put it, not with "left overs". I never risk much more than I can afford to lose and, you know what, I'll tell who goes home not with leftovers, but with nothing or even with debt: those who stake a fortune with 99% win chance and lose. I wouldn't wish anyone to be in their place.

Yeah! That's how it should be, gambling and not expecting anything from it because you have already be aware that it a matter of loss and profit, which are mostly decide or determined by how lucky one is and having the right mindset towards gambling makes one to gamble with the amount they can easily let go without feeling any bad about it. And also to remember that gambling is totally for fun and sticking to it makes it easier for one to gamble and also not to expect anything from it.

Sure if you stake big, then when you are winning, you going to be winning big and when you going to believe losing, your loss is going to be small. But we should also know that if you stake big, whenever you going to be losing, you will be losing big, and if you stake small, your loss is going to be small also, and whenever we are gambling, we shouldn’t joke with our risk management, you shouldn’t be too desperate to win big, because if your loss is high, you might just lose everything you having within a very short period of time.

i will agree with your suggestions, if you know that betting with small amount of money or betting with single game or more than single game will give you a small amount of wining and you are being wining it constantly, it's more better than gambling with big amount of money and expecting to win big amount, if I'm wining in small amount, I will be more comfortable than waiting for when I will bet with big amount and win big money, gambling is strategy and luck, if you know the strategies that will be favourable by you, do it and do not be greedy

[GiftedMAN]

Gambling is all about risk and determination and one thing to note is that the amount you gamble with determines the outcome of your profit whenever you are lucky, same thing goes to the amount you will be losing when the luck is not on your side. If you are always consistent in gambling and you can afford to stake high the chances of you winning big amount is sure but if you always use small amount to gamble when the luck gets to you the result of it will be small because of your staking power. A desperate gambler will always lose in gambling but if you follow your budget and not risk what you can't afford to lose then when you lose it won't affect you much.

We should gamble based on how much we've got in our bankroll. Because the more we gamble that's outside our budget, the more losses we'll make.

And the harder recovery that we should go. To be honest, about the recovery. One who gambles should forget about that anymore.

As we gamble, we should accept the fate that we're more likely to lose the money than to win. That's the reality of gambling then.

It is very risky to bet big in as much as you want to win, gambling wins are not guaranteed, for me I prefer staking small since I can be able to manage the outcome and control myself when the final result is out, big staking carries alot of risk and it takes only the strong hearted to do that and that is why in gambling you have to gamble with what you can afford to lose .

A lot of gamblers because of greed goes extra mile to stake big which they can't withstand the losses.

The best basis that one can have in the betting world must be acceptability of the likelihood of a loss greater than the likelihood of winning. In my opinion, a tight budget is a key defence mechanism that would help to shield our economic state against an ultimate disaster. When you forget about recouping the lost capital, the mind will not be burdened by emotional issue that usually interfere with reason. In order to have a stable life, we need to always have our feet on the ground regarding market realities.

That depends entirely upon your situation and not on the amount. For example, someone who can afford losing a thousand dollars in one night can gamble with low risk even if that amount of money is probably a dream salary of a month for someone else.

Every gamble can decide the risk he would like to take upon his budget. Sometimes, I personally prefer to gamble with different currencies, like Brazilian Real instead of Dollar just to play longer and manage to do more bonus buys.

[Jody.Drummer]

High risk, high reward and vice versa.

Some people want to gamble with a long term goal of hitting something big and hence keep their budget low. Others want to spray at the rush as much as they can and hence theh bet with bigger capital.

Neither of these methods is correct and neither assure better outcome because the game is luck based to a lot extent.

If you feel confortable with playing with bigger capital, do so but how long you will be able to sustain through is the doubt.

Totally on point, which i agreed with you, staking high can sometimes get one a high reward but that doesn't mean it will work all the time due to how unpredictability it is. That is why they said its all about luck based and understanding that, will make one to know that its very essential to gamble with the amount one can't afford to lose, as its safer to play that way which will make you to keep the fun intact without stressing yourself over anything from gambling.

It’s true that when we bet large amounts, a single lucky win can result in a substantial payout. Similarly, even small bets can lead to big wins when luck is on our side, though the payout is often unsatisfactory. So, while the difference lies in the amount won, the commonality is that neither type of bet guarantees a win, as both rely on luck. Gambling should be done with an amount we’re prepared to lose don’t gamble with a large sum if you can’t afford the risk. Essentially, gambling involves a certain degree of risk, which is why we should only bet amounts we can afford to lose otherwise, we might become addicted.

Indeed, if you want to make money you either bet big or you get lucky

I do not think you should be encouraging people to view gambling as a way to make money.

Gambling is not a way to make money, it is entertainment that very very rarely ends up with a profit. 99% of the time you will not make money, but rather only lose it. Betting big and hoping to get lucky is really dumb. You might as well buy a lottery ticket for a few dollars and hope to become a millionaire. The odds are stacked against you in any casino/sportsbook because of house edge.
