When you’re supposed to stop but the sportsbook pulls you back in

[AmoreJaz]

We’ve all lost money but if you placed $6 and won $300 you should be pulling some money out to enjoy. There is no point gambling it all away, that only works for the bookie, not you. Try and have some self control buddy and I mean that in the nicest way.

A good advice if ever some sportsbettor out there trying to gamble still after winning such big money. I agree that there is no point losing it all again because of how hard it is to win that much with a small amount that's left you. The real challenge is on how you'd keep that away from the casino after winning. Maybe budgeting a few of it and the remaining to keep it all in your bankroll and go away on that day. It's going to be a nightmare after experiencing that and because you have become greedy, you've gambled all of it and lose it in a span of minutes to an hour.

That's the dilemma of most gamblers, they won't stop up until they lost it all again. It is like never-ending cycle where they don't stop playing even if they already got some winnings. The idea of hitting more is always there, hence, they continue playing. But most of the time, it is the opposite that is happening.

The past few days have been rough for me, it's bad run after bad run, and because of that I was actually planning to stop for a while, reflect on what went wrong, and just cut the losses before things got worse. you know ( risk management thing...)

If you are feeling the need to stop awhile, I think you should as it will definitely help you, you will definitely get a better chance to tame your addictive tendencies.  The reflection on all of your activities will help you improve your gambling skills more than you had at the start of your gambling habit.

Casinos are always open for every gambler, so there is always another opportunity to wager money. If you feel that you need to stop for a while, I think that is perfectly fine, in fact, it shows that you are thinking clearly and acting responsibly. You can use that break to evaluate your mistakes, track your spending, and learn to improve your ability to analyze a match more better.

I think every gambler should do this, by which I mean taking a temporary break, regardless of whether they feel tired or are experiencing a losing streak. This is very important because it can help prevent addiction, which usually has a negative impact on daily life.

Casinos certainly don't force their users. Anyone who wants to stop playing can do so, and the casino won't prohibit it. It's just that we're sometimes easily tempted to return or continue gambling because we want to win. And you're right; for anyone who behaves responsibly while gambling without excessive behavior, it's fine; the casino won't object. I've never encountered a casino that would force a customer to stop playing; that's beyond the concept of providing comfort to its customers.

Are you referring to me? lol. And you’re probably right, I’ll never really stop until I lose it all.
It’s possible that I stop once I’m satisfied with my winnings, but that’s far less likely.

The good news is that my run is still going. If you haven’t seen my latest update, you should check it out. I had a nice win streak yesterday, and things are still looking good today as well, especially in the NBA.

Eh that's misleading title bro. What happened to you is just typical gambler mentality. You lose and lose and when you win, your brain thinks wow I just made it all up, I can do this again and make up for losses.

This is nothing to do with sportsbook pulling you back in.

Try using something like Stake. Go away for 1 year and suddenly they give you $10 no obligation freebet. You bet it on x5 and suddenly free $50... now that is pulling you back in

There’s really only one goal for casinos when they run a business, and that’s to be profitable. If you’re losing money, they’ll be happy to keep you around. There’s no reason to ban you. But once you start hurting their bankroll, that’s usually when limits come in.

Even then, casinos are still up almost every day because of the house edge. So whatever we do as players is on us. They’ll keep serving us and making the experience enjoyable, because at the end of the day, they’re the ones collecting the profits. That’s the normal scenario.

You get it right, what OP says is like an excuse to keep gambling, if I can use $2 to earn $40 in gambling I am taking it, I have taken small amount many times before and quit the game, I don't let my greed speaks for me when gambling, many people have a win ratio or target in mind, this is what keeps they under the water for too long.

Gambling is not all about been disciplined with risking what you can afford to lose, there will be challenges like when to quit too, and the easiest way is to avoid having a target in mind, don't bother having a target because anything other the target price won't let you make the right decision.

That's provably their goal since none of those casino built just to give charity to people. This is the reason why we have see them offering nice rewards or bonuses to their past active gambler but suddenly decide to go offline for many months so that they can lure them back on their casino again.

They provably love to see their player losing since that means more profit will come on their pockets.

That's the reason why the set up is the house always in favor or wins. They provably keep serving lot of things to make sure that their gamblers would not think about going to other casinos.

Making huge win of turning 6 into 300 is big victory that can happen just in time when you are about to give up, which is mind trap known as intermittent reinforcement. I agree that when you have new money you want to keep playing but you must be careful because that big win causes your brain to jump so that you forget your earlier losses and you forget that chances are not in your favor. Belief that this is free money or house money is mistake as it will cause one to take more risks and in end lose it all once again. Same strict rules that you were going to use when you were losing should be used to keep your winnings as sportsbook did not read your mind, it just gave you random win that will keep people coming back.

But today, things suddenly changed.

It felt like the sportsbook read my mind. I placed a small parlay, just $6, and somehow it hit and turned that into $300.  Now here I am again, back to grinding since I have funds to play with. The year is ending and I’m still gambling, so hopefully this bankroll lasts longer this time, before I end up giving it all back again.

Just sharing my experience,  Anyone else experienced something like this?

Everyone knows that gambling is all about loosing and winning but if I were you since I have bet with a $6 and I have won $300 in return I will pull out the money and enjoy for the time being, like I will just stop gambling for the year because as you have started gambling again there's no way you won't loose some money from it and before you realize yourself you might even end up loosing the whole $300 you have won, we should know when to pull out of gambling.

There was a time I was on loosing streak Everytime I play I must lose but there was a day I won just $100 , I just had to pull the money out and enjoy myself, so you don't have to continue playing when you encounter such situations in gambling. You just have to stop gambling for the year before you loose everything back. We all have different experiences when it comes to gambling but if I were you I will quit for the year after winning $300.

If you have really lost a lot of money and cannot control yourself then you should quit gambling. I think in no way should our bankroll be empty. Since you had an opportunity you got $300 for $6. You should use it very well and lift as much as possible. But I never believe this bankroll will last very long. As you indulge in gambling and greed brings you back again and again. I see many times, after winning more money,Again lose that money by betting.

[MainIbem]

The sports book are not pulling you back in you are the one doing that yourself and that's because you have no discipline..if you made such amount of profit there's a high chance you would still be gambling even though you try not..it only takes discipline to be able to resist the temptations of trying to chase more profits...you can choose not to continue it is all a matter of sticking to the decision you made

Exactly, he's the one who lacks self control and fail to keep to his words. If you want to quit something you ought to be determined about it, develop discipline and maintain it, not get carried away by every little temptation. However I'll say he was very lucky to win big reward with little stake, in such situations I always advise people to withdraw a large chunk of their reward instead keeping it to try again and end up losing everything or more than half to the house.

I would call it sportsbook pulling you back if they gave you free $6 bet but they didn't, you placed a bet and you were extremely lucky, so you won the money. It's not the sportsbook that made you win, you simply won because of your bet choice. The easy way to deal with this situation is to withdraw 5/6 of the money (i.e. $250) and play with the rest $50 but imagine that you have eight $6 to play with, not just one big $50.
You have to work on self-control. One thing that you can try is to get on a diet and when someone buys or makes a delicious food in your house while you are hungry, try and do not eat it. It will be very difficult but over time you'll gain more self-control, which you can also use in other things.

[Asuspawer09]

There are plenty of times actually where I suddenly won when Im already starting to think of stop playing because of the loses, I mean it seems like a trap when i think of it because it probably going to lose it again, but in my mind I think that I already come a long way, but then suddent I won and just going to breakeven right, I mean should try to atleast make a profit atleast not just breakeven, but then most of the time I'll just gonna lose that winnings, so most of the time I cut of a small portion and hide it, like if I won 100$ I'll probably hide 20$ thinking that I only won 80$ thinking that maybe I could trick my mind that when I lose all of my money I dont have any money left, but even time i won i slip and hide a small amount, and most of the time its a great strategy since even when I lose I still somehow have a decent amount of winnings or just breakeven plus I enjoy the thrill of the game.

I mean it is just going to depend on your decision, if you want to stop and manage your lose it is just going to depend on you, As long as you are playing a funds that you could afford to lose, for me there was no problem about it, just make sure that it is not affecting your life, play as long as you like, but do it responsible and dont get addicted to it.

Hi Bro 

Congrats on your nice win! I wish you that in the new year you only make profitable bets and don’t lose. Yeah, that happened to me many times too — when I’d lost almost all my money and somehow, with the very last bet, I managed to win it back. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Maybe when it’s the last bet, I choose the teams more carefully. Or maybe it’s just luck.

Exactly that is the only benefit as a gambler. Even though he would come back and gamble again and lose more that the current winning amount, he has to withdraw some from the winning and have the saying that he has enjoy gambling win. But if he didn't and continue gambling and finally lost all back to the casino, there is no benefits of gambling. If deposit $6 and with $10 and the casino permit me to withdraw $6 as my deposit I will withdraw it and if they permit me to withdraw $8 I will do it so that Will know, I have benefited from gambling. Nice advice.

This is good advice, especially now during the holidays when that money can really come in handy. If you are lucky enough to win a large amount, you should withdraw the winnings and then think about whether it is worth continuing to play or not. It seems to me that if a player comes to the decision to leave gambling, they are likely to return to it again, because such big wins may not happen very often, and if losses start to outweigh wins again, it can bring back the same old mindset.

I don’t think gambling is meant to work this way, but there is some truth to it. The more we focus on winning, the more we tend to lose.

Too bad that we have to face this situation and lose all our winnings before we realize that the casino is taking back the money we won from them. I feel guilty when saying not all gamblers know when to stop. Yeah, because what appears in my mind is that I gamble until my money runs out. Still, I didn’t make it harder and regrettable. I accept my mistakes, because despite everything, I enjoyed the moments when I chose to gamble.

Yes, it's a never ending cycle and that's why we have to be careful with that. If it ever happens to us, we have to assure ourselves that we won't fall for that trap. We'll keep the most while if we want to continue, we'll leave some. For anyone to continue playing, they should secure themselves the money that they've profited from the market. We anticipate that we'll win more after winning that's already enough to keep. And it's true that the opposite happens when we're on that state and people have to stop being too optimistic when they've gained thus far.

The bookmakers want you as a long term customer, that is definite - if all their customers vanished they would have no profit and close. However you should not confuse your short term bit of lucky guessing with a grounded strategy. We will all get lucky on occasion, it just so happened that one of your spurts of luck came after a long losing streak and you've given it some additional meaning that is not there. If you were really feeling like they've gotten you beat and it's a game for losers, then you should have taken that moment to bail out, having recouped a small part of your losses - but you choose to continue feeding them.

[Haunebu]

That's the thing about parlays....they are so damn tempting due to the chance of converting small money into big money. You won 300 bucks, but now you are aiming for 3000 bucks probably. 30,000 next? This is just our greed basically which is tough to control.

This is why I always prefer betting on parlays for fun. If I lose, I lose. If I win, I take the W and continue flat betting with small stakes. Simple!
