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

[r_victory]

Simply because, years of gambling experience don't improve your luck and don't change the results of matches, fights, or races. And also because you don't adhere to the limits you mentioned as being important. After years of "experience," haven't you learned that having control over your budget and emotions is essential? Perhaps that's the answer you're looking for and the skills you truly need to learn.

A casino does not recognize our years of experience in gambling when we play a bet, all the focus on is if we get it right or wrong and this will be the ultimate reason to why we can lose or win, so we don't get it done by experience or being an old timer for using a particular gambling casino, all these doesn't work at all with gambling.

Gambling itself is about luck. We can have a lot of experience, but for me, experience lies in knowing how to bet, knowing when to raise the bet, knowing when to quit even if it's a loss That's where experience comes in. In gambling, there are no measurements, no exact things , there's only one thing we must have as a foundation: protecting our money.

Exactly, after years of experience, the house edge is still the same, the chances are still the chance and the advantage is still by the house's side on long run. Experience is only worthy in gambling if it was enough for you to identify how gambling works for real and what you can expect from this activity. If the gambler continues believing he can win by following a determined strategy or method, it means his experience was null and didn't add any value or knowledge to his life.

Experience should only work in guiding us on when to play, were to stop and the amount of money we should used but experience has nothing to do with winning. Gambling is a game of luck the most experience person in gambling isn't the most successful person. Without luck having years of experience doesn't really count. Experience will guide a gambler on how to gamble for those that have learnt from years of experience.

On point, in gambling, there are rules and regulations that governs and for one to be profit or wins from it, one has to abide to the rules of it and do what is needful, which will help them to enjoy the importance of gambling, just as it was designed to be a game of fun and also for people to be entertained by it and not the other way around, in which people depends on it to be a place where they can be doubling their money or become rich through it, which doesn't work like that and that is why its good for people don't to have such mindset for their own good or wellness.

casino gambling does not know anyone who has been gambling with their site and they don't have any favorite to anyone who participate in their platform regularly, so what you said it's not partially right is totally right because casino or a gambling website don't know if you are they are regular customer and beam their regular customer will not make you to win you must to win like others and with a normal predictions you made her to make it to win in your gambling platform, if you are a gambler and you are a regular Gambler in a particular platform there's no amount of money that you lose that will be reformed to you from the gambling platform because the essence of a casino platform or any gambling platform to operate is to make a profit

I think this happens to a lot of us sometimes. Your rules are the basic requirements for gambling responsibly and if meticulously kept to, you won't be likely to fall into financial ruin due to gambling. But then, when one has a surprise good win, you feel really happy and go on to stake more money, gambling with much more money than initally planned.
This also happens when you incur a loss. We all know how important it is to stop when having losses consistently. But then, the thought and idea of the possibility of going on to try in winning back the amount of money that you've lost and more becomes more doable. Perhaps, after a few more losses would reality set in and only then would we realize how we've lost even more money.

TBH, I always have some expectation that I will lose my depo, so it makes things easier. I mean, it's gambling so there's always a good chance we will lose no matter the experience.

I do have some personal rules though, because I don't want to overspend which can be so tempting LOL. For instance, I try to avoid redepositing after rinsing my first deposit—I don't want to chase my loss. My gamba budget depends on how much I can afford to lose and spare for the month. Sometimes, IRL is hectic with bills and whatnot, so I don't gamba at all.

Having such a mindset might be seen as being persimmistic but in reality you are thinking logically and saving yourself from being disappointed. personally, I don't expect much from gambling because I know that it's 50/50, there is a chance that you might end up winning or losing, this is the more reason why I always reduce my expectations. Gambling to chase losses is as a result of being desperate.

Yeah, experience is an virtue that is completely useless in the world of gambling when we talk about winnings and outcomes generally, experience can only be beneficial when it comes to knowing how to play games, knowing the in and out or total details including hidden features of a game like slot and casino games, this hidden features can be their RTP, house edge and so on..

Experience in sports betting can also be knowing all the teams, clubs that play and in what league they play, knowing the teams or clubs individual strengths and weaknesses, and when it comes to betting, knowing the different types and categories of betting, this is all that experience does for gambling in general, but when it comes to gambling outcomes, experience has nothing to do here, you win if and when you are lucky and lose if and when you are not lucky, one's doesn't win because he or she is an OG in the industry, they can only get a bonus from time to time from the casinos they gamble on if they qualify for it.

If you really avoid overspend, you will follows your rules without thinking like others. You should managing your mindset and just thinks that gambling is for fun. If you lose money, that will not makes you to deposits once more instead stopping gambling. Gambling gives 50/50 to us but once we start gamble, the chance will reducing and leave us the the high chance of losses. We are difficult avoiding losses so we must be careful using the money and spending with wisely.

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.

You have experience and yet you are still being greedy by increasing your bets and trying to recover what you lost. With all those years of experience, it seems worthless if people don’t learn from their mistakes. Although experience won’t change your luck, at least you should already understand the risks and have basic knowledge.

No wonder people keep losing if they are still greedy and always recover their loses. As we know, when we gamble, we can’t win every day we can’t make a profit every day. When we lose, it’s better to accept it and move on to the next day. Even if you already have a plan and the results don’t go according to that plan, instead of stopping, you start playing greedy. You should add clear limits to your plan, decide when to stop gambling and how much money you are going to use so you won’t become greedy anymore.

Having high expectations to win in gambling is not recommendable because luck plays a major role in winnings, you can have experience and skills but it's never enough to make you win. Desperation and greed are other thing that makes gamblers to chase loses when you cannot let go you will keep going and mostly losing everything. Having gambling bankroll management strategy is very helpful so that you cannot gamble more than you budget, most importantly let the budget be amount that you can afford to loose. I think you should lower your expectations to win bellow having 50% chances because of the house edge, so gamble majorly for fun instead of getting rich.

I am of the same thinking- it takes a mature person to embrace the fact that there will be losses during gambling, not creating a negative attitude. We miss many of them and not because we do not have experience, but due to the advantage of the house and making of the decisions based on emotion. And despite the strategies, we have a slight disadvantage on a long-term basis. When we become too high with expectations and we begin to chase out of frustration or redeposit, then the real problem begins. Your principle concerning budgeting and not re-depositing is quite essential. Gambling is to be considered entertainment in my opinion. And that is when you start looking at it as a way to get profits, that is where the cycle of losses is likely to become endless.

You're right, this happens to a lot of us. Honestly, I've been through this many times. But over time, the more it happens I've learned to accept the loss and move on, even though there's always a little bit of regret. Maybe that's just part of the process. You can't fully get rid of the emotions when you lose, but at least you can learn to not let those feelings push you into betting even more.

Those losses strengthen our emotion and it made us realize that there's no easy life on gambling the same as what has been projected by those people who promote it online.

With those experience we gotten it help us to manage well our expectation, this is common reason why lots of old time players just think that its better to aim having fun rather than chasing. Since this is dangerous and  as well as  stressful action to do. Hard to get rid the disappointment even if we have great experience, but what's great about people have experience is they can eventually forget about it and think about they can do better next time.

[Outhue]

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?

If this is what you believed to be the solution you are still not doing it right, Target profit in gambling is the first mistake that most gamblers made until they succumbed to the fact that having fun is all that's left for them in gambling, that's a later escape for many gamblers later in their lives.

Take whatever you win and a win, either it's low or high, do not make the mistakes of having a amount in mind because that's they trap that casinos are playing on gamblers mind, take whatever comes in form of win, risk less amount of money and accept every wins, forget price target.

Chasing losses comes from risking what you can't afford to lose, many gamblers still also believe that if what you risk is veru high you will likely get more lucky and they are dead wrong, the truth is they won't find this out early until later.

Honestly, to follow those strict rules or plans in gambling and also in trading is kind of difficult to some people, it's just the nature of most people not to be able to follow the actual rules they have set for themselves, I try stick with my plans as well which usually helps me to be profitable but it's not all time I'm able to follow all those rules accordingly. If it's about managing my bankroll, I try as much as possible to do that. To set a winning amount might not work for me always because after winning, I might want to continue playing until I have lost a certain percentage of that money before I can stop.

It is innate to humans to not stop and chase those winnings. And this is gambling, losing will always be a part of this activity. Because if you won't stop even after you win, you won't really feel such winnings because sooner or later, you will lose those winnings as well. There's no number of years in gambling, where you can say - "after x years of spending my life in gambling, I am already in the winning stage".

Last year was good for me, I don't know what this year is going to look like but I'm not setting my mind on a high expectations but I can tell you that there are people who probably are lucky through gambling (sports betting to be precise) and they have also used their wins to do great things but that's after they learned their lesson from winning and losing back all their winning to the casino again. Like I said, no body keeps those strict rules just on their first time trying, it take consistent effort to start doing what you set plans for, meanwhile there are times you might not obey some of your rules too.

No matter how experienced you are in the world of gambling,you’ll still lose.So you don’t have to blame yourself for not winning all the time due to the experiences you’ve had in gambling.Gambling isn’t a game that is certain for players to win regularly,that’s why in several occasions it’s called a game of uncertainty,it should be in your court on when to stop and when to continue.Set a limit and act disciplined towards gambling otherwise the unrealistic may become the reality.

Yes, it is always based on decision. Before betting, you have to make the right decision on what type of game or slot game you are using. Because sports betting is one thing and slot game is another. But since he has been gambling for a long time, there is some experience about this. So I think sports betting can be good for him. I believe, sometimes ignorance does not work. However, as a gambler you have to accept losing.
