The feeling of the end of the year and gambling

[Cityhunter34]

However, today, December 31st, with almost nothing in my pocket, no new clothes, due to other life circumstances, for a second the thought crossed my mind: risk what little I had on bets with the hope of having something for today. But I thought about it and pushed the idea out of my head.

I have little money left in my pocket because of the two holidays, so I take a quick break from gambling. I don't want to lose the little money I have, and I don't want to end the year and start a new one with nothing in my pocket. However, the thought is that if I win, I will have more money to end the year on a good note.
I ended up preferring the latter; there are more days to play in 2026.

I don't see any need to gamble on the last day of the year because it will be our worst day if you didn't get a win with the small money left in your pocket. I also have little money in pocket but due to the fact that gambling depends on luck I didn't bother myself too much to do anything, because I don't want to start my new year with lose. It's official now that we are on 2026 so I wouldn't mind betting on the weekend because there's nothing to wait for anymore.

I was wondering how many of you are ending the year with profits from betting, and how many are ending it with losses.

The audience will surely be divided, but I'm not talking about general losses; I'm talking about people whose bets saved them today, or on the contrary, left them penniless.

My experience with betting is boring; I don't play often enough for it to represent a financial risk for me.

There are so many that do gamble when they feel helpless and do think that gambling is going to save then from the misery of poverty. This feeling will push then into gambling with the little they have and this will push then into more depressed state and live of hopelessness. You made the right choice by not placing any bet because you would have placed all your hopes in winning which would have left you heart broken if things turns out the other way round.

So far I guess my betting journey with sports betting i guess turns back all of my loses before the end of the year but still considered a lose in some portion so after I think it cattered a portion of my losses I just enjoy the year end with my family, no more gambling for a while because people changes and we have diferent prioritization right now. But still I made a bet with the upcoming games I see a potential wins. Well its gambling still considering the losses.

I have made extra money with my last bet so I made another attempt but it seems does not quite go far. I ended up lossing between the match of Man United last time and got a draw match of Chelsea too I bet on match winners.

Well, you made a choice, and you are the one who has to live with the consequences of that choice. It's how it works for all of us... It can be smart to rewind some situations in your head and question your choices.... maybe you can find out something about yourself that will help you with your future choices/decisions.

I don't have the feeling of the end of the year... I lost it a long time ago. It's just a date, it's just a day... like any other day. And gambling... It should be a matter of choice, not need. If you want and you can afford it, give it a go... just don't stress yourself over it.

If you're really in for the fun whether it is the last day of the year or not you have absolutely nothing to worry about, unless you're not in for the fun maybe for the profit. But to be realistic, yesterday i never thought about gambling, because the fun i had with my childhood friends that showed up to celebrate the new year in the village was much so i don't think of having fun again. Moreover i don't even have the opportunity to login my betting account, but if i was chanced i don't mind going one or two lol.

Yes, I completely agree. There is no need to gamble on the last day of the year. Because it is the last day of the year, everyone is happy and everyone goes out with their family or spends a very good time with their family. There is no point in changing such a beautiful day into a bad day. If a person gambles on this day and loses his money, then he may not be able to do all these things. Therefore, it is very important for a person to refrain from gambling on this day and on the good days of his life. There is no need to make a good day bad, because you can never tell whether you will benefit from gambling or face loss, so enjoy the days without gambling on this day, it will be good for you and everyone.

Each time we gamble comes with being perplexed of what may come after it, but we already have the mindset that it could be a win or lose, we should not have raised expectations with the bet we place in time like this, instead, our bet should only focus about having a remarkable experience to mark the event of the end of the year celebration, though I don't gamble these last days of the year 2025 because am much more busy with activities for the end of the year.

My betting experience is boring because I don't bet that much. The things I bet on are usually special to me. Since I don't bet much, I don't keep track of whether I win or lose. If I win a little money, I feel good. If I don't win, it's okay, at least I experience that excitement. When I do win, I spend the money right away, not on betting again, but on myself. That's it.

from my perspective your way of thinking is truly very good and mature. you have never seen betting as a necessity or a last resort in life but have treated it purely as light entertainmant. not betting large amounts and only betting on things that feel meaningful to you shows that you are able to keep yourself under control. whether you win or lose you do not let excessive emotions take over and that is your greatest strength. you feel happy when you win a small amount and you do not become disappointed when you do not because you know the excitement itself is the real experience. the best part is that when you win you do not put that money back at risk but instead spend it on yourself. this prevents betting from ever turning into a habit or addiction. many people make mistakes here but you have consciously drawn that boundary. in my opinion this mindset is valuable not only in betting but in many areas of life where enjoymeant exists but control remains in your own hands.

You will find very few lucky gamblers. This is not only a matter of habit, but also of uncertainty. By the end of the year, the statistics show that my losses were higher than my wins. But I have no regrets because gambling has given me a lot of entertainment. The amount of loss I have incurred can be considered as repayable with the entertainment.

The audience will surely be divided, but I'm not talking about general losses; I'm talking about people whose bets saved them today, or on the contrary, left them penniless.

No one can say for sure that he has only won. Most people lose in a row and suddenly get a win in between, which motivates them and makes them gamble more.
Gambling is boring for those who have a lot of losses. Those gamblers blame their luck for the large number of losses. Perhaps gambling is making you feel bored because of the large number of your losses.

I don’t gamble this month to avoid being on loss in gambling before the end of the year. I would say I have a decent run this year but I stop gambling in preparation for the holiday which is proven worth it since I enjoy both Christmas and New Year without thinking about gambling.

I’m sure some people manage to get a big win but the majority of gambler surely lose since that’s how the casino games work.

We have a fresh year 2026 which we can improve ourselves and reflect to previous mistakes.

I ended the year badly when it comes to gambling. Losses.

I also tried what you said, but mine got through. I played slots using $10 and lost it all. That's my year-end gambling, and I just tried my luck before the change of the year. But still no good luck, and I ended up just being frustrated with what I did.
Will be betting less in slots from now on because I don't really like the results. I may have won max wins in different games, but the losses keep piling up, so after I counted it all, I am still down a lot of money. Slots do suck. It eats a lot of money, and sometimes you are going to deplete your money, and no returns are still coming.

I ended the year with a profit, not a big one, but still. Sports betting brought in more than various gambling games. This year was very eventful, so it was easier to place bets because it took much less time than other games. In the new year, I will definitely not play the lottery because I never had any luck with it during the year; it's better to transfer that money to sports betting. At the moment, I haven't created a budget or plans yet, but I think I'll return to gambling in a month.

[Kelward]

Frankly I don't keep track of my gambling wins and losses, I don't see a reason to since I don't take it like a business where I expect to be making profit, besides I only use small amounts to gamble and I don't expect big wins to warrant me to be taking stock of my wins. I have realized that if you keep gambling on the long term even when you win somehow you'd lose everything back so I decided to take gambling as fun. If you're tracking your winning progress you might be discouraged to gamble, use small amounts and don't worry about wins and of you do win take it and enjoy it before you lose it back to the casino.

Obviously the year end did favour some folks in their bets, but to some, it's all about if I had known.
Why, you may ask. Majority of us who gamble recreationally lose money over the long run because most games are designed with an edge  favors the casino or bookmaker.
You now see that only a small percentage of professional gamblers are able to consistently make a profit, treating it like a business through skill, strategy, and money management.

Ending the year with a win is actually a good feeling and on the contrary the loses ain't a good feeling to some person's basically as we tend to end the year. Usually when you gamble less you'll definitely have nothing to lose cause it isn't posing any risks to you. But to some extent i still think it's best not to end the year with such feelings of loses and regrets why there should be some level of control to escape that and enter the new year on a good pace.

I am not betting before the end of the year for fear of losing, and that is a bad sign to begin a year. There are more days to take a chance after the new year, so I prefer to wait a few days before I start betting.

Holidays are special to us, and I don't want to ruin them possibly, if I lose, although I can have a good celebration if I win, but I don't want to take a chance. I want to concentrate on the celebration, and I recommend this to everyone.

Although the winnings are small but be grateful before closing the year, few can be lucky so you still feel the victory, lottery betting is the hardest bet and the probability is very small to win and I also believe that football is better for the chances of winning especially those who are familiar with the world of football will be easy for them to analyze the potential rather than relying entirely on luck in the lottery, my lottery was only a few times last year but that was enough to be a lesson, I'm better this year to focus on football betting and a little on slot games.

Gambling is a zero some game. Some wins and some loss. The casinos used the winning to pay the losses. And the loses are more the the winning so they are on the profit making side of the business. This last year was not a good year for me in the gambling section. The last game that played in stake .com and I was thinking that I would win but Tunisia disappointed me. Tanzania drew with them too cut my slit. Anger nearly finished me that day.

Well done, because that plan usually ends up much worse than you would have started.

Well, the idea just popped into my head, I suppose because of the time of year; one becomes vulnerable or sentimental. But I quickly dismissed it because I'm aware the odds of winning are low, and with what I have, at least I can order dinner tonight to treat myself, something I wouldn't do if I lost, which would make it an even more disappointing day.

So I also don't recommend anyone act out of necessity when gambling; it would be a very bad decision.

I don't know what your specific circumstances are, but take advantage of this opportunity to make a plan so that on New Year's Eve 2026, you'll be better off than you were in 2025. You have a whole year to plan and execute it. For sure, no matter what the circumstances, you can improve in a year.

It is obvious that you will feel better if you Gambled the little you have and earned more.  But would you be happier if you risked it and lost even the little you had?

I ended the year with not much of a difference made by Gambling.  I did not bet enough to make a difference in my life and I am glad I did not do it.  Because if it is enough to possibly affect my life, I do not see why it would be worth risking to negatively affect it.  I rather Gamble out of entertainment only.  Any win is only a bonus, not a life change.
