Your First Big Win Might Be Your Biggest Trap.

[Hispo]

That you can win is an opportunity for you to take advantage of and not to insist or repeated attempt to continue winning, except you are targeting to have fun and not with the intention of winning the more, if we cannot forget the actual fact about gambling that we may lose more than we can win, then we will take every privilege we have as an opportunity and not a mandate that we must chase after losses or ensure having a continuous winning in Gambling.

it is easier said than done.
Have you ever experienced a winning streak on a casino? It does not matter if you have already doubled or tripled you initial deposit, you always insist to get more and more, it is called greed and it is part of the nature of we, human being, we are never satisfied with the money we have already gotten, so we go for more.

Being able to stop on time in order to get a reasonable amount of money it is a skill and prove of self-control which takes much time to master, I don't even attempt to reach such levels of self-control, because i know i dont have it.

I would bet that you could win repeatedly on a casino and you would not stop until you have started to lose your deposit, it is a story i have seen many times, there is no exception to such rule when comes to newbies, specially.

It is true that the stubbornly on getting back the money lost due to losing while gambling can lead you to great danger. We have to remember that there is a win and a loss through gambling. If we are lucky, then we will win by gambling, and if our luck is not good, then it is not possible to win by gambling. The mentality of stubbornly gaining money from gambling can only lead you to danger. Therefore, you should keep yourself calm while gambling, if you make quick decisions based on greed or emotion and gamble, you will face great losses.

No need to chase the more wins as you have other time to gamble.

There are moments that when a gambler wins one time, they want more.

And for the first big wins, that's memorable and thus it gives the thought that they're special and luck is with them.

So instead of being contented and stopping, they're chasing wins. And these both chasing of losses and wins are not going to do us good.

With such feelings instead of taking the money out and enjoy you'll Push yourself to aim for more, that's mostly the situation from those gamblers who are new to this industry, they think that they'll simply repeat what's the outcome on their first big win, the feelings will keep leading the gamblers to play more and at the end of the day they realized that they'll already deeply attached and lose a lot.

It is not really easy for a gambler to stop betting after a big win. It is very easy for a gambler that have been losing money for days or weeks to stop gambling than someone that just got a jackpot because they might be thinking of having the same luck again that will make them earn big from betting. You will want to strive to makw the same good experience you once had when gambling.

Well, it all depends on the person and how the person focuses his self-control. It's easier if you do not have money to get again for you to stop. It's also easier when you have enough money for you to put it into something else than gambling. Whichever way, we have those who find one of them easier and the other hard. If you win, you might be tempted to gamble more, but once you start losing, you can also be reminded you need to save some of that money so that it doesn't go all back to where it came from.

I think we have more of those who find it difficult to stop gambling than those who find it very easy to stop it. Humans are greedy by nature, so even if they win a huge amount that enough of still trying or that their lucky time has come, if they keep trying they’ll win more will make them to continue rather than to quit with the one they won.

We have seen it before, where some streamers manage to hit the biggest win of their life and yet kept playing because they think they could win more and at the end of the day they lost it all. I know this is a bit different but still humans are greedy and only a few would be able to beat that temptation of wanting to come back and try again.

When someone wins something big in gambling, he starts thinking about gambling very seriously and even if he loses a lot of money, he still cannot think of gambling as bad. If he does not have money, he borrows money to gamble. No one is addicted to gambling in the beginning, he cannot stop gambling because of the potential win and the greed of big winners. And when there is a big win in the beginning, he gets more confidence, so he does not hesitate to take big risks later, even though he loses more than his winnings. Because at that time he is addicted to gambling and his emotions only remember his previous win and do not remember the loss.

Addictions are like that, they no longer allow you to enforce self control. Once you start getting pleasure from the rush of being able to win or lose, you become addicted to it and want to feel it again and again. This is why it is difficult to get out of this vicious cycle.

Both the win and the loss will fuel gambling further. Hence the safer thing is to walk away with either the win or the loss accepting it as a short stint.

If you are unable to do that, try to bet with a smaller budget next time and continue reducing it in subsequent games.

In my case, when I won big before in land base casinos, I thought that it's very easy to win that kind of money. But it's not, I wasn't able to replicate that kind of big money win, although from time to time I will get around $500-$1000 win.

But still if I will be honest, I loses more than I won. So yeah, it could be a big trap to win big, and it will take a lot of years of experience to know that gambling is not a way to make money easy. It's the opposite, it's very hard and everything boils down on your luck.

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

Take care of yourself, Love Yourself and Stay Blessed.

Certainly, in fact, any win at all, because on the long run, you're definitely going to be at a loss. Little wins here and there are just there to keep you hooked. A way of rewarding you for loosing lol. So it is a trap, it creates a cycle that you can't just move out from unless you come to that realization. It's an illusion, making you believe you can actually recover your previous losses, or make significant wealth from this thing.

I was a victim of a martingale, that so-called doubling up, will regain what you've lost. I even bragged about it until I found out, through my own experience, that it wouldn't work and would make you lose more, even if you had a huge bankroll.
The first win is good if you are aware of these traps; if you're not, you'll have false confidence you will regret later.

You are right, many folks are actually a victim of this, they became carried away by the first winning of their gambling experience and they end up being stocked in it for years.  However, their was this guy of mine that won a huge amount in my area, as a matter of fact the money in question is worth building a life time empire that can secured his future for life, but funny enough how this guy  was later mislead by people around him and compelled to put back all the money in to gambling till everything went down the drain and that was when he realized he has made the mistake of his life.

You are right, first win has a way of trapping many , I personally it happened to me , I was winning small money till the day I won a huge amount , the feeling was out of this world , after investing in or two , then I told myself If I can win again , another huge amount it will sort out so many things  , my gambling habits increased, I began to chase winning in the process lose a lot of money yet the big win didn’t come , many are victim of this situation, sometimes the one big win you won many not come back to you no matter how you tried even if you gamble with all your resources.

That's right, I think everyone who gambles has experienced that at some point in the past. What really hooks you is winning. Losing is boring; it doesn't make you want to come back. But winning—winning a good amount? That gives you an adrenaline rush, and that's what you want to experience again in the future.

I put the word “victim” in bold because it’s the only part of what you said I disagree with. There’s a very important element of personal responsibility in getting carried away and betting more than you should. When you talk about being a victim, it sounds like an external event you can’t do anything about, as if you were the victim of a terrorist attack, and that’s not the case.

[M47AK16]

It doesn't even have to be a big win, because even a win streak or one profitable run is enough to be the bait to reel gamblers in. I've experienced that kind of trap before, and things can get devastating if you don't know when to draw the line.

It reminds me of the thread that mentioned how certain winning situations can do more harm compared to losses, and the same can be seen with teams in sports.

This is true, in my nation there was a company that got hacked and the code had something that made you win on your first bets. If you start a new account, the code made sure that you win most of your first bets, not all of them, to make sure that it looks legit, but most of your bets would be a win and you would be in profit. So by logic, if someone never gambled before, came in, gambled 10 times, and took the wins and left, then the casino is literally offering you this chance and let you do it.

But the code also had a scam in it where you would just lose afterwards, and it was not fair and it was actually making you lose. That's the downside of playing at non-provably fair places where the code could make you win or lose if the casino wants to. This is why always gamble at places that offer provably fair.

The moment when you can’t stopped and feel trapped in between, that is what I referred to as victim , if you look at the meaning of victim you will realize what I meant , victim is also when one is negatively affected by something outside their control , many persons are victim because they know this is hurting me and at the same time getting worst ,but can’t put a stop to it , you are  losing in the process of chasing win but you don’t recognize it ,it shows you are a victim to gambling addiction without knowing it.

Do you believe early wins help people or do they quietly trap them?

Not both bros, since gambling is all about luck, nothing can guarantee it. Early wins can end well, it can also end badly, again, it depends on the person's luck. If you still think like that, then it's the same as thinking that gambling is a detrimental thing to do, even though that's not true. I don't think I can support such thoughts.

That's right, it can end well for some individual and could also end badly for some persons too, this actually depends on the individual, some people will never get trap with that first time luck of winning because they have other experiences of life that has thought them that they are not supposed to lost their self to something that the outcome is never guarantee, while for those Who are actually newbies to those kind of situation, it can end badly for them.

Yes, once gamblers win in gambling, a type of person is born among them and because of this greed, he is inspired to gamble again and again. Even after losing a lot of money, when gamblers occasionally win one or two small wins, that also acts as an incentive to gamble. Actually, gambling is an addiction. If someone's gambling becomes an addiction, then he has to face a terrible situation. Therefore, utmost caution should be taken before gambling so that he does not get addicted to gambling.

It is normal to see a first time which predict sports betting or a friend of his gave him a booking code and on lucky to him the ticket was able to play as predicted and it happens that the winning is a huge amount of money,  and he will very happy to be lucky of winning and unknown to him, he will not recall that winning in the first time through gambling is a trap of gambling fully, and if advise is not giving to such person because with the happiness of winning he can decide to stake in different tickets with half of the money with the hope of being lucky to win again. Thinking that gambling will be that easy to be lucky of winning, and before he could know it, he have soak himself in gambling and never to gave up from gambling because he could have experience so much lossing that he wish to recover back soon.

Of course, after a big loss, a player uses such wins to convince themselves that a few more wins like this will get them back on track. It's just self-soothing, nothing more. I went through this myself until I realized that if I couldn't stop, it would destroy me completely as a player and I would most likely lose my bankroll, and I absolutely didn't want that. So I had to relearn how to improve myself and absorb the bad experiences of other players so as not to repeat such mistakes.

If a person learns or understands the harms of gambling before he is ultimately harmed by gambling, he may be able to come back from it, but if he becomes addicted and it becomes practically impossible for him to get out of it, then he is ultimately harmed by gambling. When a person keeps losing every bet in gambling, he becomes so anxious about losing half that he challenges himself that he must recover this lost money. Many times, it is seen that gamblers start gambling more aggressively due to this thinking.

That's maturing in its purest form. Very few players learn from their mistakes and begin to establish their own rhythms and playing styles. A player who considers their past errors is an intelligent player. There can be no learning if you don't learn from losses. In gambling, we focus a lot on what we've won, but we don't have a system. Sometimes, a system helps us achieve better results.
