Do Big Wins Make You Smarter or More Careless Afterwards?

[swogerino]

Alot of gamblers talk about losses in bitcoin or crypto gambling here and there but we don’t really talk much about what happens after a big win because based on what I’ve seen, a big win can go two very different ways afterwards such as when some people hit the jackpots they become more careful and disciplined about their subsequent gambles while others become overconfident than necessary and begin to take risks they normally wouldn’t take earlier thinking that same luck that hit them earlier will hit them again.

I am asking this because sometimes it feels like wins can even be more dangerous than losses especially when they create false confidence in you. If you’ve been in this situation before where you made a decent win, I really want to know how your mindset reacted to it, whether it gave you the confidence to want to continue playing bigger and more frequently or whether you just wanted to protect what you already gained?

Rarely I have seen someone who has got a huge win and after that to become a smarter person where by smarter I assume that this person to invest that money or to put it to good use for his family. The problem though is that very few people react this way to a huge win they may experience while the reality is completely different as most people get to excited about such big win and start gambling recklessly. In fact the number one reason for gambling addiction is a huge win that gamblers may experience in their beginning, rarely I have seen gamblers who experience big lost amount of money in their beginning go become addicted.

As much as I know, big win does not come regularly and if eventually you happen to hit one , you are suppose to be more careful in other not to loose the money you have won. Well, reactions will depend on individual and as for me I will be more careful knowing too well that winning big does not come so easily. I will pause gambling for some time and think of something meaningful and do with the money. More also, when some people win big, they will forget themselves, they will increase their staking power and even become more serious than usual thinking such luck will come so quickly thereby loosing more money.

Well I don't do Bitcoin gambling but from the look of things, gambling has the same vibes. Therefore from my experience in football gambling, that false overconfidence is usually there but personal nature settles it all. Even if not from gambling, so far as there's big amount of money in the bank gambling is easily followed by a certain level of hope which is expressed in the amount per bet. So talking of big win whether addicted or not the confidence level increases which easily results in careless response to details as the case maybe and before you know these big has gone back to the host company.

Big win have the tendency to make a player careless, thinking that gambling is so  easy. But a lot of people are able to know that big win can be followed by series of losses which can make them lose the money back if care is not taken. To avoid this, withdrawals are immediately initiated after any serious win and amount for gambling only left at the back office.

I have been in a casino where someone won about $50,000. Everyone was celebrating with him and we expected him to become financially independent. After a few days, I heard from the operators of the casino that he lost almost 90% of his wins. There was no change in his living condition because he gambled away everything. He told me when I saw him that he was confident that he had discovered the secret of winning big. His overconfidence led to his downfall.

For me, big wins are just recoveries of the money I had spent on gambling. From my years of experience in gambling, it has become clear that gambling is unpredictable. Pursuing losses is a waste of time because you would never win.

People are very different when it comes to a big win. To some it breeds discipline, they hedge their wins, analyze their approach and occasionally even prudently invest. However, in the case of most, a big win causes an overconfidence and people take risks that they would not make in the first place, hoping that the same fortune will come again. This euphoria is easily transformed into irresponsible gambling and as Asian people have offered, it is usually a catalyst to gambling addiction. Interestingly, initial losses are hardly likely to cause any addiction since they educate against recklessness. Eventually, victories are more perilous than defeats as they create an illusion of competence or fortune.

Neither, you will somewhat feel invincible and so with that you could be careless, or if you are that smart, then you might stop gambling for sometime specially if it is a big win so you became smart.

However, this should be temporary, specially stopping gambling for few days. As for sure you might want to replicate what you have done and so you might became reckless and then in the end, if could be worst as you might lose all your winnings and then your capital.

So there should be somewhat in the middle and you need to have mental discipline to take that precious win of yours, like maybe buying something for you so that you won't give it back to the casinos.

I was in both situations too many times... Many times I cashed out, but many times I played carelessly, with higher bets, and lost everything. Slots are tricky, they can be so generous, but they can also take everything we have. Especially if we go for bonus buys, and even crazier super bonus buys. A few days ago, I went from $100 to +$400... and instead of cashing out, or taking a break, I started buying bonuses, and I lost almost everything.

You get used to both...

For experience gambler? Maybe they might take smart decision to take out their winnings and relax for a while, but for unexperienced gamblers? which usually hit first time big luck they are the one prone to be careless. Because they might have this impression that either its easy to win on gambling or they could able consistently hit big figures then became rich eventually by playing those games bring huge win to them.

That situation might lead to addiction especially if no one will guide them towards those bad decisions they do while playing.

Well honestly Winning the jackpot can bring several positive changes that can improve someone life in many ways but unfortunately this is not always the case as many people who win the jackpot end up experiencing a downward because they lack discipline and fail to maintain a high level of responsibility which is quite essential in such situation.

Recently from several surveys have mentioned the poor outcomes for big jackpot winners revealing that they often struggle to keep things in order and end up making life-wrenching decisions, while on the other hand if someone is able to win the jackpot and sustain a good level of behavior it's essential to adopt certain key strategies to ensure that their success doesn't lead to disastrous awful consequences.

[POPOLUV]

Smartness is always in some that has it even before embarking into gambling and someone that is careless when it comes to spending money is always careless and although once a gambler hit a huge amount of money that has not gotten so far in his life time, you will see that money has these familiar spirits that is common to those first time of hit a huge amount of money, the money will push such a gambler to be spending money carelessly without even thinking of investing with the amount till when he will realize that the money is now remaining small and that is the hours he activate the smartness to see what he can do with the remaining money, so big winning always comes with carelessness most times.

[Dunamisx]

It's just an opportunity to win big. In contrast, the decision taken by us after every successful win will determine on whether we are going to be seen as a smarter and careful gambler or not, some had made losses and wise up from that as it taught them some lessons, so it's not bad if winning big could also be an exposure to us in learning to more more about the reality with life and gambling the moment we win big in gambling.

This was a thing most of the time, it might be a gambling trap for some people since winning is surely going to give you a lot confidence and winning just feels like it was really easy so you want to experience more thrill most of the time and tell yourself that you are somone winning easily, if that is how it is to win, putting more bet might be a good idea since i would easily just win again. Having that mindset might not be the best move for sure but it is on your mind, thinking that you are going to win again.

Personally I do it sometime but I mostly try to do the opposite, with the experience I already learn that chasing more winning is not going to actually end very well and i'm just going to lose more if I continue and that is what happened everytime, so I already learn to control myself and learn to take profit, especially if Im just starting to get thrill on gambling and i suddenly win a fair amount I would probably stop right away, and withdraw everything so that it is going to be safe, gambling was just too high of a risk.

It seems to me that this is an experience of a completely different, higher level. Playing for entertainment and winning small amounts is one thing, but winning a big prize, a jackpot, as you mentioned is something entirely different. That requires either a huge amount of luck or placing very large bets, which is extremely risky and something not everyone is ready for. It’s hard for me to assess how I would react in the case of a big win, because that has never happened to me, but I think that most likely I would withdraw the majority of the winnings and continue playing in the way I’m used to.

Big wins makes some player more careless afterwards and also give some more confidence that wouldn't yield any results after. Nothing really changes and no much difference after winning big, it does nothing to your confidence and makes you feel big by making more careless predictions caused by the fake confidence you think attained.

A responsible gambler who knows how to act after a big win simply stop gambling for some time, stay off, use up the winning in a responsible manner, keep some least deposit for future predictions and then disappear for a while neglecting the fake confidence that arises.

Do Big Wins Make You Smarter or More Careless Afterwards?

In my view and situations where my friends have experienced big wins in gambling, but in fact I see and perceive them as being more likely to act carelessly and impulsively after that, on the contrary, they are no longer smart in their decisions and wise in carrying out gambling activities.

I see that they tend to play more recklessly without calculating, they can no longer control themselves over the game they are playing, their big strategy will explode, the point is not to be smarter but more careless.

[Tungbulu]

it kinda depends on the player, not every player has the same approach or attitude towards gambling. there are people who after a big win, see a whole new world of opportunities to win more and so this mindset often push them into making some careless decisions that'll mostly lead them to disappointment and frustration.

while there are other gamblers who become wiser and choose to walk away after a win, although some if not most of the folks who fall under this second category are people who have been victimized by being the gamblers in the first category and then through experience, they became wiser.

Big wins gives some confidence  to bet more, gives some the push  to start taking wise decisions, makes some quit gambling  entirely  if it's  a life changing money , makes some change their perspective towards gambling.  It can come in different ways but  if a jackpot definitely  gets  to hand of an addict then there's  high possibility  he just gamble  it away once again

[Majestic-milf]

 I'm not going to lie, big wins make me careless. I often feel that since I was able to win the first jackpot, I'd get lucky again and as such I don't mind the amount I use to stake. Most time in betting, it's hard to stop after one has won because there is this thought that would be going through your mind and that's the thought that you can hit bigger than the first win.

Having a budget and being disciplined is the best way to go control this, every gambler always nurses that feeling to experiment bigger amounts when you have met a big win but if you're disciplined and work with your budget, then before you agree to that desire, you would've set a budget for it and withdrawn the excesses from the casino

Both are dangerous and I think losses are worse, since even when you win and start getting very creative, losses still ruin your finances and not more wins. If you've been losing and don't win, without discipline and budget you'll be chasing your losses until you're financially in a very bad shape. Losses are far more dangerous than winning.
