Speed and Time in betting in online casinos

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I just noticed that there are games in online casinos that is time based, meaning that you have to bet and decide in as little as 20 seconds. Like in baccarat and roulette <...>

Do you think that this is one factor that we lose open in online casinos?

You give two examples where you are going to lose against the casino anyway because of the house edge. I don't know much about baccarat, but what influence can taking a few seconds or even minutes to decide what to bet have on the outcome of roulette? None. In the same way, someone playing for the first time at an online casino and winning the session might think that it was their quick decision-making that made them win, but nothing could be further from the truth.

20 seconds or 20 minutes, it doesn't change the fact that we can't know which is going to be the winning number so the time of 20 or 30 sec is just to decide how much money that I am willing to lose and if someone can't do that they always can skip that game and place the bet on next one and the same thing goes for crash games too where you need to place the bet before the game starts or just wait for that to end and bet on next one.

Do you think that this is one factor that we lose open in online casinos? I'm only talking about online as in land base casinos, you might have that added time to re-think your bet and maybe win more often as compare to online casinos.

I think this is one of the areas where online casinos have to be strict with the time of placing bets, for the reason that there are a lot of players who are playing the same game in the same room you're in. So, a standard time has to be set to avoid delaying the game and waiting for the other player to decide. If you're unsure of your bet, it's better to just miss the round to give yourself a room to be ready for the next round of betting, that way, you'll avoid incurring unnecessary losses.
Not sure about land-based casinos, whether they are as strict as online casinos, but I think they're more generous in providing anything to their clients than online casinos.
Just a piece of advice, if you're not familiar with the game and the process, you should watch how the game works first and decide from there. Otherwise, you'll get overwhelmed by how fast you lose.

I don't think that the time limit has much influence on decision-making. I think that the game keeps the player focused so that they don't get distracted by anything else and know that they have 20 seconds to make a decision. Luck is still the deciding factor, not the time limit, and that's the whole idea behind the game.There's no big difference between 20 seconds and an hour.

[Churchillvv]

One of the reason why it’s over looked is because it’s merely games and nothing else is more convincing even when getting cheated on than games, so the time limit is also applicable to other games like aviator but it’s not always considered an issues because without such time limit or speed of action their is no fun to the games. That is just how they are!

But of course the thing is it helps them control the playing of millions of players using the same casino.

If you struggle to think quickly in games that require fast decision making, it’s better to stay away rather than throwing your money into something you’re not confident. Making decisions within short time and pressure to win are not easy for everyone and in gambling, even a brief moment of hesitation can lead to mistakes. That’s why it’s wiser to wait until you feel truly prepared and comfortable before placing a bet. This is also the main reason I personally prefer games like slots compared to table games such as Sic Bo, Baccarat, Roulette, etc, Those games often require quick thinking and immediate decisions, which can feel stressful and pressure. With slots, I can play at my own pace without feeling rushed, I can press the button whenever I want, take my time and enjoy the game without pressure.

That game you will need to play within 20 seconds I don't fancy it, the game is not giving players enough time to make their analysis and winning such games will be difficult. I know winning some of these casino games are majorly on luck, but sometimes your expertise will aid your luck and you will need time to read the pattern of the game and that 20 seconds will not be enough. The casino will be at advantage here because the losing rate will be much higher.

Not all time within 20 seconds. Some games are up to 30 seconds depending on the game provider. It is also worth nothing that in games like blackjack or roulette, the players don't need long time to analyze each round. The time they spend in analyzing each round wont affect the outcome or the result. It is simply a game that require quick decisions making with hope on luck.

Expertise don't work in games of luck. I don't think there is anything like expertise in gambling.

Once you decide to play a specific game means that you are ready with how the game works so the time to place a bet (if it is limited) should not be an issue and it should not be a factor of your losses as well. In live games, there is indeed limited time to place a bet before the round start because if there is no limitation then a round may take forever if each round need to wait all players to place a bet. However the time limitation is in fact does not change your luck. If this time limitation is a big deal for you then simply do not play live games, simply play non live games where you can start every round as you wish without worrying the time to place a bet.

That is correct and you shouldn't be that bothered over a game as time are being allocated to it, this mostly happened with live casino, roulette and few slot games while playing them. But however, time are not subjective to how someone could win and what happened is that player should be a bit more civil so that they wouldn't have get out of time before placing the bet where this doesn't determine your winning percentage or ratios.

Thinks in a hurry can causes us lose in gambling. That is what I think so far because we don't have enough time to thinks but the clock is running. Casinos don't want to see we win so they limits the time and push us to thinks fast. Besides thinking in a hurry, we may panic seeing the short time to decide. That leads us making wrong decision and we lose for the outcomes. It can affects to your finances because you may thinks to increase your bet amount to recovers the losses. But if the time still short, you may still thinks in a hurry.

I just noticed that there are games in online casinos that is time based, meaning that you have to bet and decide in as little as 20 seconds. Like in baccarat and roulette and so you will have to make that decision right away and sometimes you might have to pick the wrong bet and lose. As if the casinos are making you decide as quick as you can but as humans we sometimes tend to think more instead of pulse bet.

Do you think that this is one factor that we lose open in online casinos? I'm only talking about online as in land base casinos, you might have that added time to re-think your bet and maybe win more often as compare to online casinos.

Making spontaneous or hasty decisions, in my opinion, can be one of the factors that lead to defeat, but I think that's normal because sometimes we like to make decisions that aren't well thought out. This happens because we may have already thought that the outcome will be what we expect, so we become overconfident. However, in land-based casinos, we may have additional time to reconsider. But in online casinos, this is a certainty and cannot be changed by the operators themselves.

You can always skip for that round and focus on the next round to place bet with a fresh time limit for your decision making. You don’t need to force yourself to bet if you are still undecided since there’s always a next round.

Time constraints was placed to make the game quick as much as possible since multiple people playing on the same table while many preferred quick rounds since decision making on gambling games is very easy to come up due to its luck based type.

Whether slow or fast but still you would be that still loser in the end if you arent that lucky enough. If you dont like that kind of fast pacing kind of game or you dont like the time limit then you can always choose up another game on which you can bet or gamble on. There's soo much things or type of gambling games on an online casino on which you can look into. Sometimes having that short term or fast paced games are that more thrilling rather than on that usual that could turned out to be boring. So therefore, it would be that still depending or basing up on someones preference in the end of the day. Its your money then you do have the full rights on where you do play.

There are just that those individuals who cant just that be able to bare up with those short time because they do want for the results to be that on short time too. Some do find it stressful or can cause up some panic but actually when it comes into this one, i do find it entertaining and thrilling specially if the countdown is decreasing and while you are planning or thinking on where you would be putting up your bet etc.

[MArsland]

There are many concepts similar to short bets, lasting 10-20 seconds. Frankly, most of us feel pressured by these types of bets, casinos try to manipulate the gambler's mentality. Psychologically, short time frames cause the brain to respond impulsively, resulting in a fear of loss.

OP, if you’ve played these games even once, you’ll notice they don’t force you to bet immediately. If you’re confident in your ability to win, you can take your time to analyze previous hands. Observe two or three rounds first, then place your bet.
These games offer high payouts mainly because there are many options to choose from, and only one outcome wins. In roulette, for example, the payout is around 30x when you hit the correct number. If you randomly select 30 numbers, your winning probability is roughly 30–40%. With proper analysis and patience, that probability could potentially be improved to around 60–70%.

I could remember playing some games in the past that i have to be more conscious of time while applying speed at the same time playing it, and make sure that i being able to get t he best o could through the skills I've built for myself in playing, though most of these games are no more evoke, because sport bets has made it more possible that we ease ourself from every unnecessary tension and stress while playing games.

[Kelvinid]

It happens, but why should we pressure ourselves into these games when we can play other games?

In fact, we are gambling for entertainment, but we only have 20 seconds to make a decision. I don't think we're going to enjoy it. Instead, it will lead to frustration.

Even though it offers a huge prize, I don't take it. Why? Because we only have a 0.0001% chance of winning. It is more than having no luck at all.

When it comes to time-based games, casinos have an edge, but in any luck-based game, they have an edge in any situation.
Time-based games are more exciting and challenging for gamblers, which gives the gambler double the pleasure
In a luck-based game, even if you take your time to think, the outcome will still be the same.
I thought the analysis would give me an edge in a dice game, but I was wrong; the casino still beat me, so time-based or not, it still has the edge.

[Nathrixxx]

As we gamble, we are expected to know when to apply speed and be time conscious, at the same times, we should be minded of the game category we play and how this applies to playing such, because gambling is not what we also have to rush into do, sometimes we take our time to understand the scenario well and apply caution, this serving as a measure to moderately reduce the extent to risk when playing.

I believe gambling is already full of reasons to worry, and adding a timer will only hinder your ability to experience it normally. It's already an emotional rollercoaster, making it difficult to relax. Think of slots, where mood swings occur at least ten times a minute: sadness, anger, joy, despair, joy, misunderstanding, happiness, and then the cycle repeats itself. Ultimately, after such a gaming session, the gambler can't feel anything; they're like a log, ready to collapse on the bed. That's why I'm against gambling games that involve timed decisions. Incidentally, I've recently become completely uninterested in poker because of this.
