Your First Big Win Might Be Your Biggest Trap.

[Agathamay]

What u think . Do you believe early wins help people  or do they quietly trap them?

We have discussed this on this forum several times. The conclusion for almost everyone is yes, that early win is a trap. It will only make the gambler think that gambling is easy and he will continue to gamble before he will realise that gambling is not a what he think it is. Gambling is not a means of making money.

If gambling is not a means of making money then what it is ?
I don't think it is fair for people not to have a business mindset of gambling which allows the gambler take every single bet as a core bet and be very intentional about their bets.
People forget that these bookies are in for business and for every lost bet, you're making them richer and the more nonchalant we become with our bets, the more money we loss and it's more to the advantage of the bookies.

I understand where you're driving from and heading to but sir, I think gambling should be seen as a means of making money but we should be aware of the risk and be ready for it as well as be responsible for every bet we place, as well as being very intentional about every bet and holding in heart that, if they loss, the bookies wins, so they should alway place a bet with full hope of winning rather than just claiming to be having fun.

Yeah, i agree with you even i will use my very self as example to that the very first time i won a little big amount, after the win i took gambling so serious thinking i could make more money of gambling. Then i was taking some bad risk staking with big amount because the money was there, before i could realised myself the money which i won was taking back. This experience made me to know that gambling isn't what someone should hope on, the main thing there's when someone win money is gonna be fun but when you lose its turned to disappointment, at times i do reason how some called gambling as having fun.

So moral of the story . First win is not always a blessing. Sometimes it is the starting point of a long chase.

Take care of yourself, Love Yourself and Stay Blessed.

Let me throw the question back to you, do you rather have an early big win or have an early huge loss?

I understand what you meant, although we can't help it, people differ, and how they manage their luck differs as well.

There are gamblers who don't fall for big win traps, and those who will, rather be the one who don't, everybody faces the outcome of whatever decision they make, it is personal.

If gambling is not a means of making money, do you think other means of making money that seems like gambling also suitable for making money too. You know others often tag trading as gambling, even scamming as another form of gambling, do you think these gambling-like skills can't be considered a means of making money?

[Fredomago]

I think the topic says it all, this is exactly how most persons started getting too serious with gamble. If they had manage to get the beginners luck on their first game it would be very easy for such persons to be convinced that gamble can actually pay their bills and the most dangerous part is how easily they where able to make money without stress, that single act alone can be registered in their minds and would act superior to everyone other know that says otherwise like quitting after several loses. It would take a lot of convincing before anyone with such experience can make a change of though and action.

With that wrong impression and interpretation of that beginners luck lead a gambler to believe that things will going to be easy in terms of repeating the same outcome, they will believe that with luck they'll be able to make money from this venue, once they start experiencing long streaks of losing their bets, they'll be pushed to add more money and the impression will change to a need to recover and not to enjoy the game.

Yep, it helps. Later on, it helps them realize that winning big in gambling is not easy, lol.
For most people who are new to gambling, the first win always sets the trap, but not all fall for it. Some people are aware of how rare it is to win big in gambling. Especially if they are acquainted with people who gamble and hear stories about the struggle on both sides of gambling.
And for those who will fall for that trap, not all of them get trapped forever, most of them will realize sooner. Those who are really trapped are those people who have become addicted to gambling.

[Miles2006]

The chances of winning in gambling is very low, every gambler ought to know this without even doing much maybe at first the game might be really lucky then after a little moment of celebration the same gambler still face lose. At the moment everything just sound as a joke with the intention of winning the loss money back, the common thought that comes up is the lucky statement obviously this mindset has gotten a lot of newbie gamblers to gamble recklessly even without knowing. No doubt our mindset towards gambling at first helps shape our gambling lifestyle, firstly we all must agree gambling is not guarantee not minding first try rather maintain self discipline.

[Joy- maker]

I agree with that early wining in gambling is the biggest trap, because as someone who is getting into gambling for the first time and you end up winning your first bet you're likely to get trapped. A big winning on your first day to gambling is more powerful than a string of losses, because it will create a strong mental anchor were your brain links gambling with reward, excitement and possibility. A big win early strengthens the desire to repeat the same thing over and over again. Many people believe that losing in gambling is the biggest trap, well it may look so, but the big trap is a big win early.

There is an excitement that comes with winning early, because at that time you have a gain without any tough losses before the winning, but as someone who have the right Gambling knowledge, there is always the need to not get carried away because of just first winning to start chasing that direction by taking up beta that becomes unnecessary.

This thing about first big win been a trap is subjective and not general for all gamblers. There are some gamblers that will win big money as their first win, get excited and work more on improving only to later win more. The first big win that we thought are trap end up been a motivation for them, instead of making using that to think they are good, they use it as way to make more money. Some people are so gifted when it comes to gambling that you wonder how they look unique.

Some gamblers that get stuck with first win usually don't have much experience at first and they think they know gambling with first result. Instead of improving how they were able to win, they focus more on how to double their risk so they can double more. That's the first big mistakes they make and lose all the money they won at first attempt, some survive and quit while sole become gambling addicted person.

Yes, I have seen such topics before. And the maximum topic on gambling has almost similar questions and the maximum user comments are almost the same, among which the common issues are gambling according to the ability to lose, not taking gambling seriously, not using gambling as a source of income and keeping yourself in control, etc. Casino platforms come to do their own business, so they will definitely try to trap players and get them addicted, this is normal and gambling games are made in such a way that players are first shown good profits and given a chance to win well. And then when the player gets addicted, their losses start.

That's true, that's the curse of beginner's luck, and unless you are educated about gambling beginner's luck, you will fall into the trap of believing that you can make money from gambling. And your losses will depend on when you realize that gambling is not meant to be a cash cow, and you will realize that the first experience in gambling is not something that you should be proud of.

[Floxynice]

You hear when people say first impression matters? Guys, that saying is real. Your brain captures that first experience, telling you did it before, you can do it again but then, it takes you ages to do it again.
Apart from gambling related activities, I have been in that situation where my first experience with an activity was made very easy and simple. Obviously, that simplicity only came by luck. As time went by, it became difficult for me even though it was still thesame activity and same process.

For gamblers, risk management should be taken seriously. Every game is independent of the other, so you can't say because you won today, it will always be like that.

[Akbarkoe]

I've read something similar in an older thread and commented on how the first win in gambling affects the way of thinking from the get-go, what started out as a frivolous act becomes a bit serious when the wrong mindset sets in, and assumes that to get more money out of gambling.
The first win can convince you to try betting again next time if you don't know anything about how many people are stuck on that thought, especially for those who chase money in a shorter way by pressing spinners to dig for luck.
Big wins may be relative, but it's very dangerous if you see or feel that big wins are a goal in gambling.

The first big win can be a trap. Almost always, when you first get easy money, you think it's easy to make money, and there's a chance to keep winning, but this can actually be the beginning of disaster. But it's important to remember that anything related to gambling can be a trap, as it deeply affects your psychology, and that's where the real problems begin.

This really depends on the gambler. If he doesn’t fully understand the risk of losing and only keeps thinking about one side, then he can easily become a victim of addiction.

But if we stay realistic and stay aware of both possible outcomes, then it becomes easier to stay in control. It’s normal to feel more interested in gambling after a win because of the happiness and thrill that comes with it. But like I said, we always have to consider both sides. We also need to know how to handle losses, because in reality, losses happen more often than wins.

[Yamifoud]

For most of the gamblers, that could be the biggest trap. Because they start with a big win, their mindset will be like, let's keep gambling to consistently win and make bigger winnings. Only to realize in the later part that its hard to win in gambling because the edge is always on the house, which means the house should be winning more often while leaving the gamblers having small chances of winning, and bigger chances of losing.

However, if you enter gambling with the right knowledge and right mindset, you will never fall on this trap. But if you are here for quick financial gains, and set aside thinking that gambling casinos are business, then most probably you might end up gambling blindly and lose all your assets and life savings in the long run.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Just say that the first win is the biggest trap, it doesn't even need to be a big win because if we are to check the number of people who started full time gambling, it resulted from a previous win which made them keep coming back if they can win more but it made them lose more money including the amount they won and money from their personal pockets. Winning is like a kind of initiating someone into gambling because there will always come the urge to gamble more if another winning can happen. Someone can play gamble for the first time and encounter losses and that is it for that person about gambling, he may never come back again to gamble but it doesn't go same way for anyone who wins gambling because they easily get trapped that they will win more if they gamble more and by so doing that is how they are even losing a lot of money.

As other have said, this has been discussed many times here. But to answer your question, yes, winning for the first time is a trap to gamblers (especially the newbies) to think that it's easy to win. Then you can't help but keep trying with the thought the same result will going to happen again, and not noticing you're already out of control.

This is the usual scenario for people who didn't discipline themselves and didn't take time to do a research about gambling before engaging themselves. But still, it depends on the gambler itself on how they play. Because a gambler who is aware of what he's going into won't do foolish things like chasing losses or the goal of winning a huge amount since he know the risk.

For me, even though I'm yet to get the big win I seek, I think it would be a completely different path. I have a plan for when I make a big win like that and that's to put that big win into a safe low risk investment vehicle and if I still want to continue gambling, instead of giving back my big win in parts, I would likely gamble along with the interests earned from the big win figure. It's easy to get greedy after a win like that and try to double it or increase it further but personally, this is the plan I would take. I have been taking lessons on discipline lately and it would help shape my future decisions.
