Winning first and not stopping, luck or skill?

[capokmerah]

Most people say that they gamble for fun, but at some point, it turns out that even though they played for fun at first, they became addicted to gambling and later they are the ones trying to get out of this addiction. Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

Many people start gambling simply for entertainment, but the problem is that the psychological mechanisms behind gambling can easily lead to addiction. It's not simply because of initial wins or the perception of improving their skills, but because the brain responds to unpredictable patterns of wins and losses.
Initial wins can make people feel like they "have the skills" or "understand how the game works." Then, when they start losing, they think the losses are temporary and can be remedied if they "focus more or improve their skills." No matter how smart they are, there are limits.

So, in my opinion, it's not about lack of skill or an imperfect strategy. There's no skill that can make someone "never lose" in luck-based gambling. What matters is self-control, discipline, and the awareness to stop before it's too late.

It really is very tempting to make money with betting, especially slots, because they have a way of keeping you hooked and pushing you to try to win more and more. But you need to be very careful about knowing when to stop and come back the next day. If I could, I would spin the wheel twenty-four hours a day, but I can’t, because otherwise I would end up having to sell even my soul to get money. Addiction and fun walk hand in hand.

Once there is a constant winning, indeed, it appears as if the slot machine has activated its strategy of holding the player to the machine for a long time, but to me it's just we, the player, and our mind/our desire to win that keeps us hooked up, which is why if we are able to control ourselves, it becomes easy to walk away, but if we can't, that's where the problem of losing both our money and mind comes in.

When I first bet, I won $50 and was very happy, but later, when I kept betting in the hope of winning more, I lost. Then, a friend of mine bet double than me and won.

Its part of the entertainment in gambling until where you are willing to take the risk other people are make a consistent bet until they win but others has a different strategy such double their capital to make a bet to cater the losses yes its a risky play until where could bring the luck with you if you win you make double if you lose you make it double too. Thats why tons of players are into gambling because they love the thrill with the luck of the game but not all people take this as fun because some of them see this as a potential way to earn a large amount of money in an instant.

The first winning came from luck but that luck did not last for very long since the follow up bets came out as a loss and probably lack of analytical skills if you were gambling on sports which might be probably why you friend won his but there really is no way to say for certain but if I'm replying to your title of the thread then stopping after winning doesn't come down to luck or skill but to discipline, if you are not disciplined enough to stop then you would most likely still keep gambling and regardless of your skills the losses will come eventually.

What a waste you didn't cash out that $50 right away. That could have bought food for your family. But because you continued playing, the result in the end was that you lost your winnings
and even lost your funds, which left you defeated. Looking closely, it seems greed still crept into your mind somehow.

That's why it's really hard when greed controls us. It's truly best to have self-control and discipline so that in situations like these, we can decide immediately to stop for a while especially when we already have some winnings, however small, in our gambling.

Indeed, just like a magnet which keep you attached to the game, and similar to what you said, better to be wise and take that winning away from the house while you still got the opportunity, don't follow that greed and that lust who keep your desire to keep winning, there are always opportunities and if you missed one then expect that losing streaks will follow.

Those who already have good strategy knows that it's not always that the house will give you that chance, they make sure that they will pull that hard stop when situation still at their favor.

What causes gambling addiction to each individual may varies from one person to another, depending on how positively or negatively they are able to react to certain stimulus that ignite the urge to uncontrollable gambling knowing as gambling addiction. Because to same person, that first winning after registering an account and depositing usually gives gamblers that sense of thinking they have cracked the code to winning more, not knowing it is literally a trap just to lure you into playing more, while you anticipate winning bigger amount. And this is what gives birth to gambling addiction, such as when an individual has uncontrollable attitude towards gambling.

It's very obvious that a gambler can never eliminate the concept of loss in gambling, every bet always carries some chance of losing. However, by engaging with the risk management techniques like setting strict stop loss boundaries or limitations and gamble with what they can afford to lose. There is a possibility for a gambler to reduce the frequency and severity of losses, and it will make them more manageable over the long run.

Someone can be easily convinced by gambling wins. For example, if someone is gambling for fun and luck happens to be on their side, and they experience winning back to back, they may start seeing gambling as a way of making money rather than a form of entertainment. Because of this, someone needs to be very careful, even if they are only gambling for fun. If not they can be easily convinced by those wins and start seeing gambling as a source of income, which can lead to addiction.

I remember a certain time when I won some bets back to back. I started feeling confident, thinking I was really good at betting. I even began to see betting as a way to make money and people who heard that I was winning started coming to me, asking me to teach them the strategy I was using. But when I began losing again, I realized that I had only been in a lucky period at that time.

What I want us to know about gambling is that, the chances of wining in the gambling and your chances of losing as a gambler,  your chances of losing is higher than your chances of winning, so this particular thing is certain from my observation, because I know quite well that gambling is all about risk, if people who gambles today is 100% about 25% maybe the ones that benefited from gambling massively, that is why the percentage of people who lost out in the gambling always toping people who benefited from gambling, when check very well you will see that many people complained of losses in gambling than profits in gambling.

The earlier you understand that concept the better for you because that's the whole idea of the business of gambling because gambling on a general sense is a business run by different companies and platforms placing you as the customer and every business owner wouldn't want to lose out on their money because their aim is to actually make profits which is also the same thing you are aiming at and that's where that thought of the fact that you can't win always comes in play. If you win then you would be at luck and then remember that it's your chance and it won't be yours forever.

This is why self-control is the key, if we can control ourselves properly, then nothing can ever hold us back from them. The algorithm of slots is such that it will keep us hooked, but in the end, the loss of control is on our part, if we are not uncontrolled, then nothing will go out of control, we will never get addicted, even slots will not be able to keep us for too long, just fix yourself.

Same experience with most gamblers after their first win they always think they can win more if they continue betting but that's not always the case because you will keep losing as you bet more. Your friend is lucky to have bet double of your amount and won but hope he didn't make same mistake you did by betting more.

Winnings from gambling is like a free money so many gamblers want to try more luck after they have won and by so doing they lose and in the act of trying to recover those losses leads to more losses and that is how addiction begins to grow because it is difficult for gamblers to let go the money they have lost. Even if you develop skills while gambling, it doesn't mean that you won't encounter losses again. Skills only boost your confidence when betting and also gives you a good strategy to make near accurate predictions.

Winning on your first bet is mostly normal, but subsequent winning is what you can’t get unless if you are lucky with your games. It is possible in sport betting though if you limit your expectation and decide to play the game without much greed of making it within short time.

To succeed in betting, I think you will need to limit your expectations, play the once you are almost sure of and wait for the outcome, gamble responsibly and bet with money you can afford to lose because even games you know should play especially when m sport bet can do an off set to spoil your plans. So be mentally prepared before you go into betting.

this is the difference between addiction and skill. everyone wants to make these mistekes. especially new people who play gambling or slot games. if you play with low risk your chance of winning is higher and you can play for a longer time. and you can earn more money little by little. but many times it happans that when you are getting good money from slot games you feel like increasing the betting amount. slowly when you keep increasing it. it will move from fun to addiction and addiction does not bring any good result. gambling is an addictional game.if you take gambling as a profession then you will become addicted there is no chance to get out about it . will feel like gambling more and more. so i think it is best to control this greed and play gambling only for fun.

No one can skip that feeling after you've won even if you keep on telling that you're gambling to have fun. Because once you've won, you'll desire to win some more.

Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

It is our will that keeps us attached in gambling.

Regardless of the result, if our will is to gamble more and we think that we can be better than our last result, we'll continue to gamble.

And from that continuous activity and desire to win after several losses, it will eventually become a habit that we are not noticing that starts to be an addiction.

What causes addiction in gambling differ amongst individuals. Personally, I'm leaning more towards the idea of taking gambling as a means of making some regular income is primarily what keeps people hooked and the drive to win just enough to cover all your losses and some more to start over again makes it really difficult to escape getting addicted. We all have our days when we win and also when we lose. No matter how perfected you claim your skills have gotten, you just can't win them all.

Like you did, a lot of people continue placing bets in the hope of winning back money already lost. While it immediately wouldn't result in addiction, it helps you lose even more money faster.

Curious players think it could be possibly done, maintaining a decent winning interval, enough to be made a profession. With several failures attached to their trials, the pain and regrets starts to take over the player and put him/ her in a state of compulsion.

[Dunamisx]

We may play a bet and win, then if we are smart enough, we may call it a day, but when we are greedy enough, we may want to continue playing with the expectation of winning more and the more, but at the end, everything may turned a loss game for us and we don't win, am not saying some have never benefited a winning streak before, but this is on a rare occasion that it happens.

The games from gambling casinos are designed to be profitable for them, so "the more you play, the more you lose", as the saying goes. Remember that everything that we consume in excess can be harmful. People get addicted because they are too greedy and try to chase more and more wins, but this won't happen if you only play for fun and in moderation.
