Why I keep losing in gambling, even after years of experience

[HONDACD125]

Of course, these things matter, and those who can't do them are basically irresponsible gamblers, so if you have been gambling for years and still can't make up your mind about when you should stop and how much you should spend in each bet, you are technically an irresponsible gambler, otherwise, you would at least have enough patience to stop when you are in profit, and you don't even have to have a profit target, you can simply stop playing when you are in profit and you see that you are now constantly losing, which is an indication that you are now going to lose, so it's wise to stop gambling at that time.

Now, since most gamblers tend to be irresponsible with their gambling activities because they lose track and continue gambling without caring about limits and stuff, we could say that it's normal gambling behaviour and almost all the gamblers go through this at one point in their gambling journeys. Getting greedy as a gambler is very normal, I would say, and almost 95% of the gamblers would become greedy and continue playing until they lose everything back after they hit a big win because they feel they can win more if they continue.

I think gambling is basically a game of luck, no matter how much research or experience you have before gambling, if you are not lucky, you cannot win by gambling. So through research or experience, you can maintain self-control over yourself while gambling, and it is very important to maintain self-control over yourself while gambling, as a result, the risk of losing money can be reduced, and gambling addiction can be avoided, and the fun of gambling can be enjo.

Experience matters, because only with experience do you understand how to manage risks to avoid losing too much. Even if you don't aim to make money from gambling and would like to play without losses, this will still require considerable effort. Playing for fun means simply placing a few bets without spending much time choosing the right bet, but if you want to control your gambling finances, you'll need to take a more comprehensive approach, which will require more time.

When I say “plan,” I mean these basic things:

• Target profit, how much I want to win

Do you really consider too much of whey you hope to win at the start of the game? Most times, what you should be bothered about is the amount you're staking and wether or not you're able to let it go in the event of a loss. If you can't allow whatever amount you're staking go, then you shouldn't use It in the first place.

No one plays without ever losing and that's the reality that every player always comes to terms with. Your years of experience doesn't stop that from happening.

[Agbamoni]

Based on my experience, the main reason why I lose money, whether in sports betting or other games, is simple... I don’t really have a clear plan before I start gambling.

You think this is the reason, right? Now you know the reason, stay committed to your clear plan, and let's compare the outcome. The outcome can still be the same unless you are lucky. Gambling is luck, whether in sports betting or other games, but if we judge profit by experience, a lot of people will be very profitable in it. How long youve been into gambling dont define how profitable you will be.

[shawonngp]

If you have many years of experience in gambling, then the same mistake should not be repeated again and again, and you should win more by learning from mistakes, because those who have just started gambling will make the same mistakes again and again, but experienced gamblers are more mature. I think a plan is not very useful in gambling, since it depends heavily on luck. Once you win big, you don't have to bet again; you can withdraw 80% of the dividend. Will start gambling again with the remaining amount. And if you lose, it is better to stop the game & break for a few days.

Experience does not make you to stop losing entirely, it enable you to know how to manage your risk properly to stay as long as possible in the business. In addition, staying long in gambling without finding out what work best for you is just like wasting your time. Going forward, start to pay attention to the style of games that are easier for you to predict, money line, totals, point spread and so on. If you are able to figure out this and follow it dutifully, then there is no any you will not be making progress.

Based on my experience, the main reason why I lose money, whether in sports betting or other games, is simple... I don’t really have a clear plan before I start gambling.

When I say “plan,” I mean these basic things:

• Target profit, how much I want to win
• Amount per stake
• Maximum loss before I stop

These are very basic rules, everyone knows them. But honestly, even after years of gambling, I still fail to follow them most of the time.

Once I start winning, I get greedy and increase my bets.
Once I start losing, I try to chase and recover.
In the end, both usually lead to losing more.

So I’m curious… Do these things really matter to you?

These things you mentioned may be among the reason you don't win bet but I want to tell you that the main reason you don't win is luck, your luck has not shine on you that is why you have not win because even if you have a target to win and has amount per stake and maximum loss before stopping, you will still lose. And in case you don't know, nobody has everything all figured or mapped out before they gamble sometimes we gamble as we are lead by the games we see but discipline will direct you on what is obtainable, what you should stake and when you should stop.

[Franklyn-wood]

That’s normal because most of us are not professional sports bettors. I guess the best we can do is just try to be responsible, since winning consistently is really hard, especially in the long run. We can agree that sports betting is probably the best option because we can use our own analysis, but that’s still just theory if we haven’t proven that we can actually win.

Like you, I’ve been gambling for years, played different kinds of games, but most of my money still goes to sports betting. I learned a lot, but not enough to make me truly profitable. So don’t overthink it. That just adds pressure and kills the thrill. Just take losses as part of the game, you’re basically paying for the excitement and experience.

If a bettor has self discipline and is not addicted to gambling then his or her self control will be something very easy to implement, I believe this is based on personal understanding of what individual feels or see gambling to be. It's very important not to see betting as a means of financial freedom rather fun and try of luck. The quiet to recover loses at time can be like I wild fire in the mind of the gambler that can results to anything if not properly controled.
Wining at a time does not warrant anybody to be an heroe in gambling but luck and chance.

[Somto9Light]

You know, if years of experience matters in gambling I think majority of the gamblers would have become expert in this gambling space but no" it doesn't matter how Long you have been in the gambling site or your years of experience I noticed that most of the new gamblers are even more profitable than those that started some years back.

Not that they are doing a different thing of course it's that same Prediction you're making there that they are also making rather they seem to go into details while making analysis but it doesn't matter most times, but we need to ensure that we are doing the right thing and just leave the rest for luck.

These are the little signs that you are surely either already addicted or near the crossing line into addiction. That happens to everyone but those who have really learned how to work with a budget are able to overcome such temptations.
It really matters to me not to loose a lot of funds in my gambling activity, ever since after my addiction struggles and overcoming it, I've always been very careful about excessive gambling, more reason I work strictly with my budget.

[CryptSafe]

At first, from what you have said, it looks like a greedy move from you whenever you are winning, as you allow your emotions outweigh you likewise when you are on a losing streak. Possibly you will likely do some assignment on control so that you do not allow the joy of winning to overwhelm you, and so on.

What I can say to you here is to maintain self-discipline while gambling, and also knowing when to call it a day can save you from losing much more than you bargained for a game.

[Ever-young]

Even setting a plan on how much you wanna win can be another trap on its own, because you’ll most likely wanna hit that target regardless of the earlier outcome of your bets. I completely understand your position because I’ve been there before, and when I say setting a winning target can be another trap, I say it from experience. Sometimes when I approach gambling with this mindset, even when I’ve won some reasonable amount of money, as long as it’s not yet up to that targeted threshold, I’ll most likely wanna keep on going until I reach the target, and the. Most of the times, I end up losing even the one I had won earlier on.

If you already know the problem, the solution to it should be easy, and the solution should be capable of increasing your chances of winning when you gamble next. There are gamblers who are unaware of the problem they have, and in such cases, finding solutions is much more difficult.

Yes, discipline needs to be worked on because if a gambler can master discipline, he has solved 80% of his problem already. Discipline will save you from alot.

Have you consider that you might not be increasing your bet and still lose, if gambling loss isn't in excess like you still make some money, then I consider it progress because no matter how you gamble, you can't beat the system. If you are a typical gambler, you can't know all the moves of every team. Look at Barcelona playing against Girona, on a norm it wouldn't take long before you see Barcelona finish Girona but they are struggling despite in control of the game.

However, the general consensus rule of gambling is that don't over do it. If you are betting 10 games in a row and it has been working for you, kindly stick to that game, don't add to it because you think that this 10 is not enough. Sometimes success is trap, you think you are too good to be where you are but the moment you live that stage and want to go higher, that's when everything collapsed.

Even with a clear plan, without discipline you can’t follow any plan you prepare. It’s hard to stick to our plan once we’re in the situation you mentioned. As long as you can’t control your emotions really well, you’re bound to fail in following your plan, especially if you’ve been used to doing it for a long time already. Just like you, I also fail to follow my plan sometimes, but at least I don’t fail as much as I used to. I realized it won’t do me any good if I can’t control myself, and my dream of winning won’t happen if I keep doing it.

It is truly a difficult challenge to anyone to remain consistent with the planning in case the element of emotions start taking over the reasoning. It is very suitable to know that the more you fail to reach your dreams, the more you will keep them, which is a very good step. This is not easy but there is need to keep trying to put down impulsive urges in favour of long term outcomes. The failures that occurred in the past must be taken as our lesson so that we will be able to act more reasonably and steadily in the situations of urgency.

I don't remember anytime when I had a particular amount to win in mind, because that makes me bet more and replay some bet tickets that has failed with just a little tweak and still end up losing.
For sure I have a maximum I bet with, maximum bet tickets I can book and once I start losing all the tickets, I log out of my betting platform, do something else or pray I see a credit on my wallet when I log in next time after am sure all the matches may have ended.

What matters for now is how I can edit my current strategy to fit in fewer games with better odds and a sizeable wager amount, occasionally, because I don't have any intention of being addicted just yet.

Discipline is one, however, if I may add, it will not be gambling and taking a big risk if we will not going to lose as some point. That is the very definition of gambling itself, the unknown that we want to conquer and see how we will do against it. That's why even if we are discipline, most of the time we're still going to divert against it and then forget our game plan. We will go back again and again as we wanted to test ourselves against those odds or maybe what we are in our thoughts. So imagine if you win and then you quit for a long time. I don't think that you can be called a gambler. You really have to go back again and see what lies on the other side. Will luck be their for you or worst, you will continue your losing pattern.

This is a very common thing  that gamblers experience nor matter the years of experience and can lead someone into gambling addiction.

The way to overcome this is to be self disciplined and contented because it is in the process of wanting to win more that leads to losing, and it is also in the process of wanting to recover your loss that one ends up loosing more.
So my opinion is that one must apply wisdom in order not to have any loss and apply discipline by knowing when to stop even when the winning is big. Discipline alone is the key to the problem.
