Gambling's okay as long as you keep winning?

[Cgrexp]

Winning is what every gmablers are looking to see and it will not make any sense when we are trying to make money from gambling and nothing is working after spending money everytime to bet. I really understand the feelings when a gambler is not getting any tangible results from gambling. There are people that keep trying to make money but the luck is not that fortunate for them to be in profits.

If the winning is not coming and there is too much effort invested in the game, the best the person can do if the winning is the only thing bringing them to gamble is change their mindset or change where they can put too much effort, because we already know how hard it could be to win from gambling—not just hard in the extent that putting more effort can give you winning, but hard in the extent that your luck has a role to play.

You are right that the probability of winning does not depend on how many times one bets. In gambling, the outcome is basically uncertain and no matter how well we analyze, luck is also needed to win because the outcome is uncertain at the last moment. So, thinking that I will win if I bet repeatedly because I am losing is not logical. In gambling, the amount of loss is more in the long run. So if we lose repeatedly, it is wise to accept the loss and understand the reality and take a break, but those who do not change their mentality and bet more, in this case, their own loss is greater.

We can agree to him, we all want to win and that's why it's definitely okay to gamble as long as we're winning. We understand the logic from that statement. But we know that gambling isn't always in the winning side, we can't win always. We have to lose and there's definitely the times that we'll enter the losing streak and how we're going to take care of it will depend on ourselves. These people are logical and they also are worried of the side effects of too much gambling which could result to addiction and more any other.

you are right, we all gamble to win. But gambling is not always possible to win. There have been so many times that I have not  won any money betting all day. But we have to know when we  should stop. Where is our limitation ? If we can set a limitation then we can  keep ourselves  away from gambling addiction. But if we do not  have self-control , we don't know when to stop, then there is no doubt that we will gradually become addicted to gambling.

Yes, anyone would not feel wrong if they continue to win in gambling and people do want that, as long as it lasts why should we stop right? But it is also true that gambling is not like that which requires us to limit it because losing is part of the game in gambling, we cannot eliminate it, and the side effects will also not be a problem if we continue to win, but if we lose the effect until the addiction kills us and our finances, and that is what is dangerous in gambling, we have seen many victims who are destroyed because of addiction in gambling, it never finishes easily, very lucky for those who can anticipate this.

you are right, we all gamble to win. But gambling is not always possible to win. There have been so many times that I have not  won any money betting all day. But we have to know when we  should stop. Where is our limitation ? If we can set a limitation then we can  keep ourselves  away from gambling addiction. But if we do not  have self-control , we don't know when to stop, then there is no doubt that we will gradually become addicted to gambling.

That's it's, self limitations. Knowing when to stop, that's the big antidote to gambling addiction. Subtly, addiction creeps in when we fail to control our quest for continuous betting even though we are losing. Some gamblers believe that repeated bets can fetch them winning, and they keep on with it, on and on, and they get themselves on the danger of been addicted, because if they don't win, they must keep on betting till they win. And sometimes, because they fail to win, they borrow, some steal, while some become chronic debtors due to failed bets. The main issue is knowing your limits. Know when to stop. Know when to walk away. Know when you accept the fact that you have lost and move on. If we can maintain this discipline, then we might escape addiction.

From onset gambling has not been tag as good event. But because of the few wins from gamblers and some of the win are big which is recommendable and that has made people to continuously gambling and hoping to win big one day. And the winning of few dollars or local currency is an another thing that's making gamblers to be addicted.

Unfortunately, gambling is a very strong psychological test for absolutely every individual, and often the hope inside a person begins to play against them, as they hope to win a lot of money in such an easy way.
Meanwhile, others are trying to earn money through their businesses or monetized hobbies. As a result, hope often leads people into such debt and lies that it would be better if they constantly lost and never believed in gambling as a source of income.
These are not just my conclusions, but the words of many gamblers who have become addicted.

I completely agree with you and have come to this conclusion myself. I simply started limiting my daily losses, and everything has been going great. I don't exceed the required level, which I don't want to exceed, but not every player can do that because the urge to gamble exists, and it's quite strong; overcoming it is like overcoming yourself. I remember when I really wanted to play, and even the amount of money I lost didn't stop me. I feel sorry for the players who are going through this now, but everyone has their own path. Eventually, some will learn to overcome it, and others won't.

Firstly every gambler must learn to set realistic expectations and goals, and then decide to what extent they should go to achieve or reach those goals. I have come to understand that what mostly causes people to go the extra mile just to win is setting or having unrealistic expectations and goals, and this makes them feel comfortable going to any extent just to make sure they win, and this like we already know is the easiest route to addiction.

If the amount of daily loss can be limited then it is possible to keep yourself away from gambling addiction. We can keep a certain  amount of money as daily gambling budget. And if we do not  spend money beyond this budget then gambling addiction  control is possible. But it is very difficult. Even those who are already addicted  may not be able to exercise self control and set a budget. So first of all we need to know about the bad aspects of gambling addiction. And then slowly try  to control yourself. Only then can  we stay away from addiction

You are absolutely correct but it is not really all the time that unrealistic expectations makes people go deep into something especially gamble, sometimes some people have realistic expectations and goals but at some point they get distracted because of little thing and before they realized themselves they are already into what they never expected or think of doing. Some of the people that are addicted into gambling never had the mindset of making it or becoming rich with it but it happened because of little distraction so disciplined is very important.

Is gambling okay as long as you keep winning? An interesting take here by a gambler guy in the subway 58 years of gambling, argues that gambling was okay as long as you keep on winning.
I mean, for sure, it's okay if you keep on winning, right? But can we keep on winning? In the end, he ended up saying about the fun and enjoyment, which I think is a denial, he knows that gambling was bad.


What's your take on this?

That’s just a funny way to describe a specific situation. We all know the reality behind gambling, first a good feeling, then at the end we get consequences. There’s nothing you can do against the game of luck to win in long term. Even the best Poker Players are losing at some point.

The best thing is when you learn to enjoy the moment rather than the wins only because when you lose, you can control.

You can win by gambling but the chances are very limited, we should not forget that gambling does not always give us the results we expect, gambling is a game of luck, only those who have good luck can win big by gambling. However, I think gambling is good for entertainment, gambling with the mentality of making money is not right at all. Gambling with what you can afford to lose is always a good decision.

Everything happens so simply and easily. When a player is lucky and wins, they think they'll always win like this. But at some point, that doesn't happen, and they're faced with losses, which hit their self-esteem. They don't want to acknowledge this is happening to them and continue to bet more and more furiously, ultimately losing. I want to say that this is a very common scenario for players, and that we need to better understand the game and be aware of the adequacy of our actions, as well as be less inclined to believe in nonsense.

It's just crazy how one loose money in streaks and still want to continue playing anyways

It doesn't really sound good, but I heard someone say it's how the brain reacts to get what ever is lost, but you have to have a good level of  self control to be able to put your self in place,and give time limit

[Sonia_123]

Winning lubricates our gambling activities even if not always but at time when we think of quiting because we are not winning gambling is know for lose and win and so to be a gambler means your are ready for both the loses and the wins, that is why we gamble for fun and with what we can afford to lose .

Without winning to gamblers keeps gambling since they derive pleasure in it, except for those that feels they must win to continue gambling or those that are gambling just for the money aspect.

It doesn't sound good but that's part of the gambling spirit that each gambler has. We're not giving up quickly and I think that mentality is on every gambler. So, even if we're not winning and we're on a losing streak, we've got a lot of reasons to continue. But just as said that gambling is fun, okay and acceptable when we keep on winning also makes sense. Whoever is telling that maybe went through several losses and life changing wins of their lives and to justify that it's okay for as long as it benefits you, that doesn't make him wrong.

[abaeze]

Everyone wants to win but most of the time they lose. So everyone should gamble with the money that if they lose it will not cause any problems in their daily life. Gambling is fun as long as the gambler keeps winning but not all people understand that betting is also an exciting thing. However, if someone chooses gambling to make money, those people basically gamble more aggressively, they are the ones who suffer the most because there are no specific rules in gambling that can be followed to win more.

Some of the people that are addicted into gambling never had the mindset of making it or becoming rich with it but it happened because of little distraction so disciplined is very important.

If you talk about becoming rich of course it happens when we don't expect but those who are expecting it don't always get lucky that is why we need to be positive and stop making unrealistic expectations because hoping to become rich through gambling is unrealistic expectations because there's no guarantee that your expectations will come to pass it is just like a wish that may or may  not come through, so it is better we just zero our mind from anything profit while gambling since we are not sure of it because if you put much focus on the profit aspect you might even get tired and start panicking.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Gambling is ok, all depends on mindset, one thing is sure in gambling wining and lossing it's a two ways dice head or tails, I don't only view gambling in one sided, gambling is best if one wining supersede losses it gives more courage to continue, and even make the gambler to be proud and can openly tell people the wining without hiding. One thing is winning has a way of changing the mind of gambler to increase hope and confidence in staking above targeted budget, and can also leads to addiction if not properly control by such a gambler.

[Sandra_hakeem]

‎‎"can we keep on winning"? if what you mean is consistent win without losses, then of course that is impossible.
After every winning streak, comes them losses. Infact, to me it, doesn't matter if the losses are more than the wins, as long as you're not taking too much of the risk, and you have what you spare out to keep up with the fun. Enjoyable! The only time there's real problem with gambling is when you expect too much from the outcome, sometimes because you've risked too big. The "Never bet what you can't afford to lose" phrase is so commonly used now that I doubt one would still make simple mistakes about it.

What's your take on this?

In essence winning continuously is okay, but sometimes winning continuously is not okay, because it can make an individual to develop the mindset of greed and desire for more. It can serve as a motivation for some people to risk more than they can afford to lose. It encourages a gambler to chase losses as a result overconfidence, the gambler will be thinking that he can't lose, and he or she will end up making decisions without putting it into consideration. And this is actually the worst mistake a gambler could ever make. Winning is actually a good thing, but too much of everything is bad. So excessive winning can actually be harmful sometimes.
