Who are you in gambling (winner or loser)?

[lombok]

Making profit has to be the most happiest moment for a gambler especially after hitting a big win but the thing is, most gamblers get excited after winning but they forget that they have lost more than what they won or probably might even lose more after winning. It is important to exercise discipline and show less excitement.

It is the worst possible ally of common sense when we are about to win the battle, as excessive excitement is its foe. We need to urgently analyse how much we are spending in total against the revenue that we have just received. The threat of losing more capital is found to be more obvious in case we join forces with our enthusiasm that we are unable to restrain. By self control, we make sure that these good outcomes practically work out to our benefit.

Excitement is there when we're gambling like in the first tries in the day. But it changes over time when the results are not good for us.
And if someone is starting to lose, that excitement is reducing and that also changes the mood and how we gamble.
We can say that on having that emotion, we're becoming losers and it becomes worse if we're all losing our sanity because we can't control what's on our head and how to react.

This question that you asked yourself may not be answered directly by anyone, because no one wants to reveal their own portfolio. However, even if I don't answer directly, I can give you an idea in my case.

I have won a good amount of money by gambling and also lost it. If you calculate it, you will see that I am at the break even point, if I win a very good amount one day, then it will be seen that at some point I have lost that amount. The time that has passed in between is what I consider Fun.

But the amount I get after winning is definitely useful to me. So I would say that gambling is not just for fun, it can sometimes help you financially if you know how to manage it properly.

The only person who can give a direct answer to this question are those who has calculated their overall gambling performance in terms of winning and losses to know if throughly they are in winning or in lost as per overall but for those of us who can not give a proper calculation of this then it is hard to give a direct answer if you are a loser or a winner especially for those who has been in to gambling and doesn't keep records of their gambling activities, personally I have won before like several times and I have also lost and presently now I can't rely tell if I am a loser or a winner because I don't really care much about keeping records.

Yes, controlling emotions is very important in gambling. Gamblers who can control their emotions while gambling can protect themselves from excessive losses from gambling. Because they can control their emotions and take time out after losing, and when a gambler can decide to take time out after losing or winning, this helps them understand which decisions are wrong and which are right. As a result, they can gamble for a long time by making the right decisions and reducing the risk of losing too much money. As a result, they maintain self-control and protect themselves from gambling addiction.

Wow, you've already tried it. Thank you for sharing your experience here, as it indirectly gives us a better understanding of the process. I also just remembered that this idea requires not only intention and effort but also capital in the form of money for advertising costs. I can assure you that if we start as an ordinary person, the advertising costs will certainly be quite substantial to promote the site because not many people know or trust us yet.
In conclusion, this is an option, but starting it when you already have a good level of popularity, such as an influencer or content creator, seems much easier.

You know what else is important? It's about a huge desire to do this. If it's absent or minimal, the process itself won't go well and will be a real pain.

I remember when I was just starting out with website promotion. I was creating advertising materials with great pleasure and spending hours manually publishing all those ads. I truly enjoyed doing it. But after all this, there was harsh reality. It showed me that things aren't so simple. The efforts I'd expended simply weren't worth it, and this led to disappointment.

This question ain't really necessary because most gamblers lose and also win, gambling is constructed in way it only favours betting platform, that's why many gamblers loss more than they win, most people think that they're winners maybe because they hit a big win, funny enough this win can cover most of there losses, but if they still continue gambling for non-stop there's a possibility that they will lose all the money they won before.

That is it, people may call their self winners just because they win one or two big win at some point, but if they really sit down and look at the full picture, they’re not actually winning..

Most gamblers think that way sometimes when they maybe hit one good win and it feels like they finally beat the system..  But the problem is continuing after that. Because the more someone keeps playing, the more the odds will slowly shift back to favour the platform, and before they know it the earlier profits is gone..

You can view the history of your deposits and withdrawals, and even if you haven't been keeping track, you can do so now. But if you're not interested in this, it's likely you're losing more than you win, and you don't want to calculate potential losses. I also know people who don't want to manage their budgets, they simply live while they have money and when it runs out, they wait for the next paycheck. These people don't know exactly how much they spend or what they spend it on, it's easier for them.

What I do is that the amount I assign for my gambling budget weekly is how I know how much I have lost, because I exhaust it before my next refill. That's how I do track my gambling losses because it's always the amount of money that I can afford to lose. People that don't have gambling budget will find it difficult to track their gambling activities.

We can say that on having that emotion, we're becoming losers and it becomes worse if we're all losing our sanity because we can't control what's on our head and how to react.

Joy comes when victory is achieved, and if the opposite happens, that joy can turn into disappointment. But basically, we shouldn't respond to defeat with disappointment because defeat in gambling is inevitable and natural. What we should do is accept it, especially since how we respond to the outcome can determine whether things will be fine or worse in the future.

Yes, controlling emotions is very important in gambling. Gamblers who can control their emotions while gambling can protect themselves from excessive losses from gambling.

As a result, they maintain self-control and protect themselves from gambling addiction.

And those who have been from gambling addiction, they're the ones who understand the importance of it.
They don't want to experience the same disaster that they have been through in the past, and learning that from being disciplined is what makes things easier for them.

Joy comes when victory is achieved, and if the opposite happens, that joy can turn into disappointment. But basically, we shouldn't respond to defeat with disappointment because defeat in gambling is inevitable and natural. What we should do is accept it, especially since how we respond to the outcome can determine whether things will be fine or worse in the future.

It's natural to react disappointment when we've lost, we can still be a winner in some other day.
But don't dwell on that loss so much that it can change the mood entirely of your day or even a week.
Don't be like that, always choose to be happy and avoid having more losses.

It's important to remember that the ratio of losses to wins will always be much greater so there's no need to get too hung up on losing and feel like its the end of the world we act aggressively and end up with bigger losses.   However it's undeniable that even today we can see that many people are overly ambitious when they lose and this stems from the fact that we don't expect to lose and don't see losing as normal.

I know that we don't like to lose but when this ratio is much greater in gambling we should be better able to restrain ourselves from going too far because the decision to act aggressively when we lose would be a bad decision.

Even the best gamblers, they have that ratio of having more losses than of winnings.
We all know about that but those who can't accept the reality that there's more losses in ratio than winnings, I don't understand why they are denying that.
Maybe they're just very emotional and they don't want to hear people giving them negative tip of stopping when they're still in losses.
So, be aware of our emotions and if you have a chance to avoid it then avoid doing more bets that are like random throws.

This is why it’s always crucial to always approach gambling with the right mindset, because this helps us shape our habit as well as to help us make better gambling choices. Gamblers who are yet to come to the realization of the fact that losses are inevitable will still always be disappointed when they encounter losses, and this is usually what results or pushes gamblers into revenge gambling, in an attempt to recover their losses due to their unpreparedness to loss such amount. It’s just all about mindset.

For this I feel that they realize this but when emotions have entered us when gambling sometimes even rational thinking will be lost and this condition I have felt so maybe this is also one of the causes when they cannot control themselves properly.

I was once in a moment when I didn't even realize what I was doing and only realized when the money I had ran out because the emotions that were in me took over too much so that gambling which should be played with pleasure turned into a condition where we were destroyed just because of the little defeat that we had previously felt.
Self-control is important but no matter how strong we are when we force ourselves to gamble when we are not mentally prepared we may not be able to control ourselves properly.

I think it's real even if it's not him, there are real life gamblers that make as much as that amount and even more. But the requirement for that is a huge bankroll that they're willing to risk. It is a life changing amount if they are consistent in winning it. Yet, the bankroll that they have as well planned for that is also life changing amount for them and they're just courageous gamblers that are willing to take so much risk when they have been used to it. As they look forward for that profit, they sure are a winner but that's not me and I can say that I am a sore loser.

Why are you beating yourself up so much? Don't think you're the only one losing. Almost everyone's results here aren't very good. If you take the total amount of money spent on gambling and the final winnings, the former will significantly outweigh the latter. So, you have to accept this. No strategy in the world can guarantee success in this field. Even the smartest people fail here.

[Shinpako09]

A loser, but I don’t count it anymore. Even if I have a bankroll limit, I still don’t track it. I don’t mind my past losses anymore. I prefer starting my session fresh without thinking about my previous bad session coz I don’t want to feel like I’m chasing losses. It’s like, new session, new goal. As long as I stay within my means, that is all that matters. If I want to know my stats, I just ask support. I only do this when I’m on a winning streak, more like when I’m in a good mood.

Reading this thread ( What have you achieved through gambling? ) inspired me to create this poll (in many posts, users indicate that they've gained almost nothing from their gambling hobby). Why? I was curious: how many users (at least within this section) actually gain anything at all at the casino? I'm not talking about the "entertainment" aspect, but rather the financial aspect.

I highlighted HOBBY in your statement, from your statement, they take gambling as a hobby and not a medium of making profit, that is to say, it is not a business, or a job of some sort, but a hobby they engage in for fun and entertainment. Then what they are suppose to gain is the thrill of it, the fun and entertainment they are playing or engaging in it for. But I believe those who really take it seriously, put in their time, effort, make plans and stick to it, being disciplined, and creating strategies, they'll surely be in the winning side, although it's just my opinion.

So hobbies are hobbies, business is business, you can't be doing one and be expecting the benefits of the other.

One should just make sure that they use the amount they can afford to spend in gambling, because once they use they amount they can't easily let go, they will start to develop the desire of wanting to chase after their losses, which they will be carried away to make decisions that will lead them into making mistakes due to their inability of controlling themselves. Though there is no how one will gamble that they will not experience loss but for the benefits of their health and that of their families happiness,  they are advised to keep their emotions in check, which will help them to gamble for fun and also to be entertained by it.

I don't gamble often but with the little time I spent on gambling I will say, I'm a loser in long run not because of bad luck but because gambling is designed in a way that most prayers lose over time, even if you win you may still lose. So, The best approach I use is to play smart, I don't try to be a winner, I try to control my losses, or treat gambling as fun or entertainment and not where to generate income, you may win today but if you decide to keep playing with out stoping you're likely to lose everything, meaning. ( The more you play the more you lose.)

[The Cryptovator]

To be honest, I don't know any big winners in real life. Yes, I read about a big win online, like seeing the scam accusation board, and later the winning amount was settled. For me, I am a loser, though I haven't gambled much. From a couple of gambling sites, I have gotten some free credit and gambled with that balance. But I never become a winner, because I was not lucky in gambling even during my childhood.

From my perspective, I believe a major part of gamblers are losers actually. It's all about FOMO; when we notice someone win a big amount, then we start believing that we may win as well. But at the end of the day, maximum people have been losing, and small people are winning. There are kinds of algorithms that always help casinos to become winners, not gambler.
