Making profit and feeling weird

[finaleshot2016]

When i play sportsbetting, I do feel bad when losing not in winning, our target is to win so we must expect always that winning is possible to happen. Sometimes in a bet, I feel confident based on my own analysis, and if I win, I'm very happy 'cause It paid off but when losing, it's like realizing I'm just wasting money. But when I'm having a win streak, it's a little weird but I'm just thinking that luck is on my side, I don't want to feel bad because I'm lucky and it's because of my skills and knowledge too. But some says it's risky to be overconfident but sometimes you can use it as a weapon with your full of knowledge and add discipline to your work, it'll surely paid off.

Lol, that is how I feelwhen something good happens to me, not just in gambling but in my life too.

But it is okay, we are lucky too, may not be that heavy but when it happens just enjoy the moment rather than questioning it like how it happened to me.

Any who else feel like they're cursed?

Just don't feel too weird when you win, because we were just lucky in that moment. Other players might not be so lucky, but they'll want it very much; just remember that. Also, don't think the money came easy; it might just seem that way in the moment. I've simply come to appreciate the luck that comes my way. Therefore, any strange feelings about winning should be put aside; they're pointless, although, of course, if you enjoy occupying yourself with various things and thoughts, let them do so and spend their time on it.

Who will feel bad for winning money, everyone love money and as long as you are not exploiting the casino at any point, you are good to go with your profits, but mind you it can't be consistent as you make it look, the last profits may be the last winning, what I understand about those games is that at first when you using small amount to play the game, you will be profitable but try with big amount and you start losing.

The idea isn't really about feeling bad because they won but there is a familier feeling some people have right after they make profit, it feels like they are repeating the same thing over again. That cycle of winning and then losing it back makes them feel a little off after winning because they know that it's possible for them to end up losing at some point, but this can be controlled.

That certain feeling most of the delivered you in deepens your engagement, as it's going to be good when winning but when you start to experience losing streaks that's going to be the beginning of your real problem, especially if you unable to control your emotions and instead of keep your guard up you keep adding more money and the cycle will just repeat itself and lead you to lose more than what you can afford to let go.

That's a valid feeling and you are not wrong to get such thoughts, the reason for that is because you already know how the system of gambling works. making profit usually comes with losses afterwards, that's the more reason why you should be careful when you are winning so you don't end up throwing everything away. The solution to this is actually very simple, all you have to do is take a break from gambling for a while because there is no way you can totally avoid losses, you will lose at some point but your losses can be controlled

[Agbe]

It is possible to make profits from gambling as there is also a chance of losing but it is funny that most bettors or gamblers have gotten used to the feeling of losing that winning becomes weird. This awkward feeling after winning is just a doubt or sometimes fear of not knowing what the outcome of the next bet would be. winning shouldn't feel weird because its part of the game. To me I just see this as anxiety that comes when you think about gambling again after winning and it's okay to take a break.

I agree that it's a valid feeling and sometimes we feel that we should have lost already and yet, the things that we're seeing isn't from what it looks like. We think of making some profits and sometimes, we're losing so the other way is happening to us. And that's okay if you think oppositely when you're gambling expecting to stop too early because of losing but then, it's not what is the results that comes to  you.

The solution to this is actually very simple, all you have to do is take a break from gambling for a while because there is no way you can totally avoid losses, you will lose at some point but your losses can be controlled

Yeah, taking a break will make you stop from having that kind of thought or do something else that will revert your attention from it.

Question being, do you ever feel that way, that when you make profit, you feel that it's not right because gambling is losing game and you are not supposed to make profit?

First of all, none of us can know for certain when we will incur losses or reap profits, gambling is an inherently uncertain activity. Perhaps in the short term you can make a profit in certain games, and it is certain that luck is on your side at that moment. So don't be surprised if you make a profit because that is bound to happen in gambling (in the short term). It is different when we talk about gambling in the long term, where the accumulation is bound to result in a loss, as you mentioned in your update, experiencing a losing streak after making a small profit.

Therefore, since we know the risk of loss in gambling is inevitable for everyone, you should simply enjoy each game without worrying about profit or loss, as what matters is the final outcome, not the profit during the game.

It is not the guilt after winning, but the awareness that is strange. Most seasoned gamblers are aware of the fact that after making a profit, other times it will be accompanied by losses particularly when emotions are involved. It is the reason why a win is a uncomfortable experience--it brings you to the cycle that you have already experienced. It is a good feeling to win but also it can lead one to tempt by putting more and more and find out who wins. Here, discipline is of best importance. That queasy feeling can be helpful, provided that profits are not viewed as a reward and an incentive to become more aggressive in gambling. It is a reminder not to gamble too fast, control the bankroll, and not to make a winning streak turn into a downward spiral.

(that's not good title ik, didn't put much thought into it).

So, since last couple days I am playing game called, 'Tower' and having a good run but I feel weird that I am not supposed to be profitable while gambling.

lolz.. you really funny though. this makes me think that people really dont know what they want, just as women are confused in life. you lose you complain, you win you still complain of filling weird that you are not supposed to be profitable, so why then do you gamble for?

Question being, do you ever feel that way, that when you make profit, you feel that it's not right because gambling is losing game and you are not supposed to make profit?

i cant ever think that way, knowing that casino is making profit in a long run. we all know that the house wins more and we win less and even if i had a wining streak for one year, i wouldn't feel weird for any reason, because if i lose for one year or more without wining, the casino will not be bothered or even give me a bonus or even a discount or even warn me to stop because of much loses. so why then will i feel they are losing because i am wining?

However the bookmaker is the owner of the casino business and they have to make a profit, otherwise their casino will go bankrupt and close.
A winning streak will not always happen, there will be losses that occur and it is already programmed in such a way.

The winning streak that occurs may be due to the effects of previous defeats, but it is unlikely that one will always win,
big losses must happen and then be given a small winning streak that is almost the same as the previous big win.

I don't think there will be someone that will be sad when making some winnings in gambling. Despite the person gambling for fun, it is even more fun when someone is making a profit from gambling. So, I am not unhappy when I am winning in gambling, I am always happy, and losing always makes me sad. But I don't always worry about the money I lose, because I always gamble with what I can afford to lose.But the fact is that it is very hard to see someone continue making a profit from gambling. And let it be known that gambling is not a game of only losing; if people were only losing, they would not gamble again. It is a game of loss and win, but the probability is always higher than winning.

Sometimes, that's really making us feel awkward when we've been winning. It's not only OP that feels it because we've been stuck into thinking that when we gamble, we have to lose it.

To me I just see this as anxiety that comes when you think about gambling again after winning and it's okay to take a break.

Overthinking that leads to anxiety and that's a valid emotion that we're having. I guess when it becomes too deep that leads us to anxiety, we have to stop whether we're in a winning or losing streak.

Image above is statistical data of the overall gambling loses across most gambling countries around the world and you can tell that house and other factors in gambling have made profits making in gambling impossible, and we shouldn't take that for granted and for basically take gambling as fun.

Because you do not enjoy gambling in every session you gamble. If you think about the number of losses in your previous games, you should never feel happy with the wins you get now.
I choose to enjoy the current win without counting previous losses. Because for me, each bet is a different session.

You have a point, it's like losing a thousand dollars and after a few months you win 400 dollars, if you focuse on that amount that you have lost you wouldn't be able to enjoy what you have won and it might even be a trigger to chase losses till you get the complete amount you lost previously, we all know how this ends, most of the time it's always the same cycle of wins and losses.

The image above is talking about 2013 gambling loses across which means that if they are to check the statistics data of the overall gambling loses across most gambling countries last year let me not say this year because we are still in first month of the year.

Let's take for instance last year that means the amount of losses might be x2 of this 2013 data because back then gamblers was very few compared to this stage that almost every body want to witness how gambling works after knowing the risk that is involved.

Going back and forth from 2013 to 2025 is a  big gap of time and we are sure that the ratio have increased by now and the numbers of gambling losses and amount lost would have increased even double the amount shared on the image above,.
Checking to get updated records but you knowing we can't have an accuracy of figure in the number of gamblers that have lost and those who have won, but just an assumption will help us to have a clue of what we are talking about.

That feeling is actually normal. We learn that gambling means losing, so when a winning streak comes along, the brain reacts strangely. Making a profit doesn't mean it's no longer gambling, just that luck is on your side. The important thing is to maintain limits and treat it as entertainment.

Normally, winning makes one to act differently in a way that their bodies cannot control such as being happy, that is why gambling should treated as a form of entertainment.
So, people should have that mindset that gambling is not a place where one can be making money or becoming rich through it because having that mindset can lead one into pitfalls that will affect their financial status.

Honestly, who feels sad when they win? Most people are happy when they win. I think this discomfort comes because we don't think gambling is a good thing deep down. So even if we win there is a conflict in our minds. If you look at it differently, winning is not something to be sad about, Everyone is playing according to their own will and taking risks. Today you win, tomorrow you might lose, Personally I think it is more important to stay within limits than to blame yourself for winning.

I guess it doesn't make sense to gamble and become sad,then why gamble in the first place.Well, everyone has different ways they react to different situations.Gambling is not a favourable place, because your wins and losses are not fixed.Our brain/feelings are projected a certain way to experience an emotional shift  or react differently during those period.
