Making profit and feeling weird

[Itz-prisigold]

I think you feel weird because gambling feels like a losing game all the time.  So when someone makes a profit off gambling,  it feels wrong.  Like cheating kind of wrong. I bet you are expecting the loss because you are almost waiting for it to happen.

Winning streaks feel nice, but there’s always some voice reminding you that it’s just a matter of time before a loss comes around and you shouldn’t get too comfortable, This is not a bad thing, It reminds you to not do something too risky like make larger bets just because you are winning more.

Your update kinda shows how this usually plays out too, many gambling wins are not real wins until people actually get the money in their hands.  It can have you thinking you are so smart to make money off gambling,  but the outcome of gambling always comes back around and many times it comes back for more in the form of loss.

I do not think it is wrong to make a profit from gambling,  but I also don't see It as normal or sustainable.  I just see it as getting lucky for a while and definitely not in the long run, with profit comes winning and with winning comes losing, so that uneasy feeling when you're winning is probably just experience kicking in, reminding you that the game hasn't changed, it's just your turn to be on the good side for now.

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?

Important update:

I just had a bad run, and I have lost all that I got from previous winning run and some more

As a gambler, it is natural to feel anxious while gambling, most especially on slot games whose outcome are basically a product of luck and random algorithm. So I'm pretty sure the fear of not wanting to lose the money you just won into your gambling account might have been the reason why you felt weird while gambling at that moment, because the more you kept gambling, the higher the tendency you could have lost your money, and you eventually lost it. Hence, the reason why it's always advisable people gamble only what they can always afford to lose. And in a scenario like this after been on profits, it would have been wise to either take a break or withdraw some funds.

(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.

Winning is part of gambling and so if i win i will be very happy and accept it, no matter the circumstances either big or small, although some times you feel that way if the money you initially stake with was reduced because of fear, so you must have felt that it is better you lose the game than winning the little token, it's all your fault, if you had persistently continue your game then you will have the reason to see and accept it , or are you saying if it is a big win that is how you will felt and reject your wins.

I don't feel weird when I win my bets; I simply don't let myself get carried away by the feeling that I'll keep winning and that I should increase the bet amount to win even more. Even though the house always has an advantage, winning isn't uncommon, and when it happens, I'm happy.

If feeling with trepidation at your good luck, I think its fair to reduce size of the bets perhaps.   Don't reduce size from being scared too much or you will miss out on the winnings but some reduction is fair.
   I try to time the size of increasing bets size or reducing with how I imagine my luck will go and its a fairly random guess but an honest aspiration to time it perfectly.
  If you have bad luck but have already reduced size you needn't care as much, my general advice being don't be too absolute in full stop or go just modify size is a fair compromise and might help your nerves and over thinking the betting.

That's a nice update mate, is just the universe saying "Balance restored. Thanks for playing."

Moral of the story, the house always wins, and when it doesn't… it just reloads the checkpoint.
RIP to the good run. You will be remembered lol

Having it in mind that loss can always happen at any time, even when you are counting winnings, is something which helps one to control oneself and not to push too hard because of the growing overconfidence which a winning streak brings, and many gamblers lack that a lot, which always pushes them to not know when to stop; each time they start winning, they play as if there is no risk of losing.
