Making profit and feeling weird

[Nwada001]

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.

If it's not controlled, then they will end up losing everything back to where it came from. Someone said there is no joy and fun in gambling if you continuously on the winning side without having any form of losing. All the winning will indeed be like a repeated event, but the joy which each winning suppose to give you will keep on reducing as long as there is no loss in between to raise the thrill for winning your next game

It can really feel weird or awkward that you just one a streak in a row with your wins, even expert gamblers does understand it is part of the game so this other mentioned scenario is mostly rare and not one to be considered like a normal because you could be heading towards a agihhn2b⁶

[libert19]

...The winning streak that occurs may be due to the effects of previous defeats...

Nah. Every roll is unique, don't think a 'winning streak' has to do anything with previous defeats. If you get winning streak, it only means you got lucky.

... because you could be heading towards a agihhn2b⁶

What?

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.

It is natural to feel weird after earning profit since it is normally linked with defeat in gambling. Winning streak may have an easy influence on emotions and decisions, and people become overconfident because of it. Profit does not imply that gambling has become a potential source of income, it just implies that the fortune smiled upon you in the meantime. That is why gambling must be regarded as entertainment with the clear boundaries and expectations like money and feelings to prevent the financial and emotional issues.

I doubt if seeing gambling as a means of entertainment will make a gambler to become responsible. There people that do get addicted to things that they are not making profit from. There are people that are addicted to sex and they aren't making money from it. Therefore it is also possible for a gambler that see gambling as a means of entertainment to get addicted to gambling. The most important thing is setting a limit and having self control.

This is funny actually, because some gamblers have never tested positive winning since they started gambling. To be honest this doesn't make any sense at all because the casinos are the ones that is benefiting from the gamblers all the time which we all aware of that still we are not happy with the little ones we are getting from then. I don't think is the best way to gamble responsibly because win and lose is part of the game which we often lose more than the way we win, so I would never feel that way when winning infact I even went to win everybody Lol.

[Mpamaegbu]

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 don't know the exact way to describe that feeling but I certainly won't say it's weird or surreal. It makes one feel that sense of, "yeah! I've got it." I've experienced it a few times and on the times I did I called it, "my birthday gift". It didn't matter that it wasn't even my birthday. That happening creates that sense of one being invisible until something goes wrong and one gets worse hit. 

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

That's how it usually ends. It leaves us worse off than we were. My lesson from my last experience is not to feel too comfortable and increase risk threshold. I guess that was what happened to you there.

...There people that do get addicted to things that they are not making profit from. There are people that are addicted to sex and they aren't making money from it...

Bruh, it doesn't always have to be monetary profit.

No, I didn't increase my risk threshold, I bet with same amounts as before but as I mentioned, 'I just had a bad run' — like, it was a streak of losses, you can't believe, it was uncanny.

There is a natural ambition to be stuck in a vicious circle of losing, because of lack of boundaries on when to stop enjoying the fruits. You are quite correct by saying that the desire to win everybody backfires slowly a toll on our financial level. It is necessary to develop the attitude that winning is an added value but losing is a necessary cost. It will keep us calm when the game throws its unpredictable cards to us as we will be prepared to keep a humble stance in case of our winning streak.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I have not felt like that before or maybe I have but can't remember because I know that sometimes or somedays when someone starts gambling, you could just be having a dull spirit and in your mind, you will be having a doubt of whether today will be successful or not and when you see yourself winning more than you expected, it becomes a weird feeling. I understand what you are saying @OP but I don't think is everyone that can feel that way.

How is that even possible for one to win in the Long run without losing? It's obvious that they are just making exaggeration because it is almost impossible for one to win continuously without losing a single bet, the truth is gambling doesn't work that way. And even if it is program for every one to win continuously I think we would still enjoy playing it, but the question is what will be their gain if they do it that way? Obviously there's no achievement for them, of course the casino knows what they are doing.

(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.

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

You are a weird being, I enjoy gambling but I don't feel weird after I won, yes I don't expect to win all the time but I can't stand long time losses over and over with no little win, even if it's too small.

How can I keep gambling for two weeks with no single good hit even if it's very little, a win is a win I believe but feeling weird that I won is crazy, this is the first time of hearing something like this and I don't think that it is normal.

It's not right when you win in an extent, that loss could be around the corner, waiting for you to feel like you will keep winning, I get this part and this is why I quit after good wins.

[Alpha Marine]

Nope!!
I don't feel that way. 
When I am on a winning streak, I see it as my lucky day, and I run away with my winnings. I try not to lose all my winning again.
I understand why you feel that way, though. Winning is not very common, and winning multiple times in a row is suspicious. Thought might come that the casino is trying to trick you into staking with a higher amount  .
And I don't believe I'm not supposed to make a profit from gambling, I just know I have a very slim chance of making a profit.

I understand what you are saying @OP but I don't think is everyone that can feel that way.

You can play in different moods, and if you get lucky and win, it can definitely lift your mood, while a loss can spoil a good mood. I understand what to expect in both cases, so I can say that I am prepared for it. And when you are prepared, it is easier to accept it as an integral part of gambling. In the case of either a win or a loss, I do not feel anything strange, completely different emotions tend to dominate.

If you feel weird on making profit in gambling, then why would you even gamble?
If you think that you would only lose money, then why would you do it?
I don't really feel weird when winning, I only feel that it is easy to make money in gambling, and always ends up being carried away by that feeling resulting to losing all of my profit and capital along the way.

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.

To gamble, we must have a strong mindset because it's possible to lose a lot when there's no control. When I've gambled, I haven't lost control, but I have lost a lot of money, I've been learning that emotions are difficult to control, and money too, because when we're betting, everything seems easy and achievable, which is very bad We have to be very careful When we lose money , we feel bad, but we should only lose what we budgeted for.

This is really a weird thoughts op, but it is a bit good because if your thoughts are not about how to make money from gamble, then there is no way you will become addicted to gamble both now and in the future. The only way you can become addicted to gamble if when you change your mindset from gambling for entertainment to gambling for profits.
However, it's very strange to see someone who never want to win a bet, someone that feels it's not right to win a bet. I'm always excited when I win a bet and I guess other gamblers are also excited when they win. I don't regret winning because the casinos are happy when I lose, so I'm happy when I win from them.

It is impossible to win in the long run without losing, because it is a game based on luck. So you will have sometimes luck, sometimes bad luck. Let's say that both balance each other at the moment of the final calculation of luck or bad luck. So winning in the long run you can't predict, that is.

Normal a gambling is either they win or lose there’s some of the people’s that they’ve been a a while in the gambling and never win even once and instead of them to step down so they can not go deep into the gambling, but they will not that’s why most of the gamblers get addicted to it easily

One thing that those gamblers need to understand is that since they knows losing in gambling is high than the winning what they need to do is to divide the amounts they win into two parts, so that they can take one part to bet back again; so that even thoughts they lose they will not feel sad than take all the money back to the gambling.

Nah. Every roll is unique, don't think a 'winning streak' has to do anything with previous defeats. If you get winning streak, it only means you got lucky. 

If the dice roll in a land-based casino is real, but the dice roll in an online casino is already different,
there are some algorithms that have been created and have been set up in such a way that the percentage of losses is greater.

And the relationship between the winning streak and the loss in my opinion will be interconnected,
if the algorithm is set, because the winning streak will be affected by your previous losses or games.

Luck is just an algorithm that is applied to each account quite randomly.
