Sometimes it's not just about winning money

[lodocus]

Most bettors look at things very simply: Did I make money today? Yes. Then today was a successful day, and I did the right thing.

In my opinion, that’s not how you should look at things in betting. When you bet your money on something, you’re taking a risk. If you’re wondering whether you did the right thing, you should ask yourself whether that risk was one worth taking. Yes, maybe you made money today, but the bet that made you money wasn’t actually a bet worth taking, wasn’t a logical bet at all. Maybe you deviated from your strategies, or you bet more money than you normally would.

The same applies in the opposite situation. You may have ended the day in the red, but if you stuck to your strategies, and if the bet you placed is a logical one you’d make again if the same opportunity arose (and if you played with a reasonable amount of money for yourself) then being in the red doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. That’s the right approach, and just because you’re on the right track doesn’t mean everything will go perfectly.

In short, sometimes knowing that you’ve done the right thing is more important than making money.

Sounds interesting as a beginning but soon goes down dramatically wrong if we end most of our days in red this shows that despite us doing the right thing we still lost in a persistent and consistent way. This means that we fundamentally have lost money in a consistent way and this is something to worry about in my opinion. If by making logical bets would put us in having more winning bets than losing ones it means that most bookies would have probably close business by now. I want to say that most logical bets end as losing ones.

The most correct approach in betting will be a reflection of course wife such a short-term, as you correctly described at the beginning of your text, and long-term. and with attention to the chances that were characteristic of the bet. Therefore, always serious bettors keep tables in which they write down all their betting results with notes, and also they write down there the chances that they put on this bet . And it is clear that they will not invest a lot of money in risky bets, but at the same time, such Excel tables allow you to track how accurate the prediction can make this bettor.

I get what do you mean, OP. Not be cause you have money doesn't mean it's the right thing, you maybe lucky today but who knows if things goes south right? But the thing in gambling is different, since all of things here are unpredictable, you can't stick to some sort of strategy, even calculated risks doesn't really work much in a platform where things are uncertain. I think it's more applicable into trading where if you stick to your strategy no matter the outcome, you doing the right thing.

In gambling, taking higher risk means higher reward not unless you took a bigger risk you will not really earn that much.

[nara1892]

I understand what you mean. It's very simple. Winning doesn't mean you've done the right thing. Winning in gambling isn't determined by how good the gambler is, but by how lucky they are. Whether you're right or wrong depends on how you approach it. For example, if you bet more than you can afford and win, that doesn't mean you've done the right thing. If luck doesn't come your way, your actions could cause financial problems, wouldn't they?
Good topic, and it means gamblers should still evaluate their approach to gambling even if they've won before.

Doesnt matter on how you do look or other peoples perception towards betting on which we know that we do have that different mentality and different approach on things on which not only that limited to betting but also in other things in life on which you would really be needing up to whether you should really be taking the money making approach or you would really be just that wanting to have some fun on the time that you do make out some bets. Its true that its not just that about winning money in everything on betting but lets just that accept the fact that majority of us would really be that wanting to win up and speaking about the right thing that you have done then of course you would really be thinking because you had made out the right choice since you win but it would really be that totally opposite at the moment that you would be losing.

To be honest this approach would be good for things where you would actually build something and money lost would be just the part of the lesson. But in context of gambling I don't think this is correct approach. I don't think sticking to strategy would make difference, if it would casino would be at risk of losing money.

From there the main problem arises, looking at how much you have earned.
With a game you can't calculate whether you earned money or not, that's not how it works.
This creates distortions that we then carry with us forever and obviously we then fall into addiction.

But that is the hardest thing to do in life, to make the right decision or if we think that we did the right decision. It's easy to say in gambling, that maybe you did it right by stopping when you are winning and enjoying the fruits of it.

So it might look very simple, but in the ends it's not as gambler might be looking for more wins and can't stop until they got what they want. Or those who are in the losing streak and yet insisting to deposit for more to play. So it's more on the risk here, that risk that we are willing to take and see if we make the right decision or not.

This is true if you lose what you can afford to lose only because those amount that you lose was well spent on gambling which you dedicated it for entertainment purposes.

I consider success on my gambling session whenever I didn’t lose badly such as not over spending to the amount I dedicated to gambling for that day.

Getting profit is a good basis for success but it’s indeed not the only way to determine success.

The reality of gambling is that even if we do everything right, we still can’t avoid losses they’re an inevitable part of the process.
So there’s no way to avoid them the best we can do is minimize them. And gambling isn’t just about winning money it can also shape the course of our future.

When we bet with the wrong approach, it can lead to significant losses. But if we can minimize those losses, that’s already better than chasing profits in gambling.

[Agbamoni]

I fall under this category. And you are right, this is not how we should look at things after a day in betting. Deviating from our strategy and playing against the rules in order to win will create a type of habit that will affect us in the future. At times, it shouldn't be all about finding a way to win, it should be about finding a way to consistency using the right strategy and staying consistent on a good betting habit. I understand you properly OP, and once again thanks for the quick reminder.

[Pandu Geddon]

But you surely know there are types of gamblers who like to increase the risk of their bets. Of course, because the potential returns will be better. 
Every gambler must know the betting limits they can handle. As long as it does not exceed that ability, the bet can still be considered reasonable. Whether it is a small or large amount, it will all depend on the gambler's ability. Do not follow other people's standards.

[Bitcoin.com97]

Perception differs from individuals, how I view gambling may not be the same thing like others, but in all gambling is a risky thing that losing or winning Is not guaranteed, discovery the right strategy will help , everyone intend to make profit , but it’s not only about winning the money , the strategy to help you be in check , and the actual amount that won’t affect you is also an important method to use,  because loses are unavoidable as long as gambling is concern.

Oh, you're a philosopher, OP. I wonder what strategies you support when gambling. Do you really create them yourself? Or do you call the fact that you spent more or less somewhere a strategy? Quite interesting. Can you share more details? In fact, if you win and win more often (just imagine this situation), for your Ego, you will always be right. And you will be completely indifferent to what strategy you have prepared yourself for. Similarly, don't anger luck by saying that something is more important to you than something that doesn't involve money. If it weren't for the desire for money, you wouldn't be in these games.

Well in gambling we can always win some prizes or jackpot there whenever we gamble but we should always remember that gambling us also risky. Sometimes I lose a lot in gambling but I didnr mind since I enjoy some of those time and always experience the best feeling of being thrilled and accompany by the success of it. But I totally get what you feel OP, I understad the feeling of doing this right even the amount of money won is either big or small. The important there it was earned right.

[Charles-Tim]

Yes, making sure that you bet responsibly is the best approach for betting and which is the right thing to do.

Gambling is not about winning or losing that matters most. What matters most is to gamble with small amounts of money and you should make sure you are not gambling with high amount of money.

Looking for money while gambling is the cause of many people that gamble and have sad moment because of the loss of money they had while gambling. Also it is what that is leading to addiction.

In gambling, taking higher risk means higher reward not unless you took a bigger risk you will not really earn that much.

Exactly, sticking to a particular method can make one to gamble in a way that won't result out to be good, which people are to just gamble and be expecting anything and everything at any given time, especially they should gamble with the amount they can afford to lose, as gambling can't be predicted, instead they should stay firm in accepting gambling to be a game of fun, which won't result any sort of destruction.

[michellee]

Not many people realize about that and just thinks if they lose, they need to recover their lose. They don't looks like that and considers nothing about the risks. The right thing in gambling is using the money you can afford as you know the chance to lose will be there and you minimize the chances of big lost. You will not thinks much or regret of your losses because that is what you will gets in gambling and that is the risk.

[Loyang]

You have raised a very important point among us. Many of us sometimes bet a lot or bet beyond our means and if we win that bet, we think we have made the right decision. But it is never the right decision. Because you may have won this because of luck or that time was good for you, so you won. But if we think the opposite way, if you had lost, you would have faced a lot of losses. For this loss, you may have had to face a lot of losses.

So we always need to gamble with proper financial management. It does not matter whether we win or lose. We need to take such a risk that if we lose, our financial situation will not be too stressed.
