believe me, one last deposit, is a lie!

[Cryptomultiplier]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Fortunately, no, stopping after running out of funds and sometimes stopping even if I still have funds, but don't feel like gambling anymore has become the norm for me. Anyway, if you keep giving in to the "one last deposit", you might need some professional help, because that's not normal, I feel like that's a gambling addiction symptom.

One last deposit sounds in all fairness, like a sign of addiction to me and that's to say that it is lack of proper discipline to put in practice strictly, the risk management of financial control.

Some times it is more than just an emotional reaction but more of an impulse already built into the brain mostly when one has same account they use in real life, connected to their gambling platforms and they can access their accounts via mobile apps or fintech banks at ease.

I do not believe in one last deposit because I know that is addiction or it can be what can lead to what people will call addiction. What I like is one time deposit and which I think is the best. There have been sometimes in the past that I do more than one time deposit, but it was only draining all my money which is just addiction. I know it can not help me which caused me to later stop.

Yes, that feeling of making last deposit is a very bad feeling because even when you eventually make the last deposit and you loss, the feeling will still come again and if you're not smart enough to stop from that last deposit you might get stuck up in the game as you will be struggling to recover from the previous losses, this has happened to me several times at some point I realized that it is a temptation after I realized that, then i stopped doing that. it seems that alot of gamblers have not realize that this feeling of making a last deposit is temptation that need to be tackle before it becomes part of us.

That was also pretty like me. When I'm on a losing streak, I always end up uttering that words, but still find out myself creating more deposits and still losing a lot more. Maybe that 's how tempting gambling is, and how it can easily deceive our mindset and still hope that the next bets will turn into a winning streak even though its obvious that losing is more possible than winning.

Yes, that's a big lie. However, there are still few gamblers who managed to make it happen, but majority fail on it. That only proves that when it comes to money, people can all turn into being greedy, and ignore the reality that losses are highly possible to appear than winning itself.

Is better for you to stop making deposits when you already know that you can't get the assurance of winning the next very games, this is very important at least for your sanity there is need to come up with a draw back plan, this is where you just stop making attempting to recover, since is obvious that you can't really recover unless you have an extreme luck on your side if not you will end up losing even more from that approach.

The gummy bear analogy is a wonderful one; it's truly a captivating pleasure, and, while simple, it's a powerful example of how sometimes we can't resist pleasure. But in casinos, there's another factor that drives gamblers with difficult emotions and effort to leave the table: the desire to win back their winnings. Therefore, it's doubly difficult for them to go home if they've lost. And it's understandable; only a complete and mature person is capable of understanding the subtle feelings of their soul. If someone is simple-minded, they'll simply give in to their emotions.

Yeah, and that is why they are to be aware of the kind of emotions they, if they can be in control of it that's good but if they can't control their emotions then is a no-no for them, as they will have to avoid anything gambling and involved themselves in other recreational activities, that will have to put their emotions but have to enjoy the game and be free to go home without having to hate themselves or regretting any action.

[Obim34]

That one-deposit mindset is like that of someone who wants to recoup his previous losses; he's not satisfied with the outcome and thinks that, after a series of losses, winning will eventually follow.
I experienced this many times, and I stopped doing this because if you're unlucky, you have to call it a day and accept the result. There will be bad days, and there will be good days; you have to accept this reality in gambling.

Truth be told, you are completely correct. If the gambler isn't on a chase for his losses, there won't be any need for one last deposit, only those desperate to recall their deposits or recover with additional profits will do such a thing.

Some gamblers will prefer to learn the hard way than avoid the temptation, I can't deposit twice in a day, after my first funding, that is the end for the day, until next time I choose to use the casino.

[sunsilk]

never follow your brains when losing

I agree to this. When we're losing, the emotion we are having is intense and increasing, and that's why we can't think correctly by that time.

What we want to do is to recover 100% of what we've lost and so we continue to gamble until the end when we finally realized that it's not going anywhere.

We come up with some plan and idea at that moment which we believe is okay but, that's not okay when we've lost so much and we still want to continue. The problem is already there that's not yet noticed.

That can be avoided if we go back to the basics, which is only gambling what we can afford to lose, because that kind of loss will not trigger us emotionally and push us into chasing losses.
This is where discipline really comes in, along with being realistic enough to understand that it’s not always about winning. We lose too, and actually, most of the time we lose more than we win. That’s the reality that we sometimes ignore or fail to accept.

[alegotardo]

from my personal experience a few years ago, i feel it's very difficult to stop when losing. this is because human psychology is more likely to feel disappointed when losing $10 in gambling than spending $20 on groceries. the brain needs a return from gambling because it wants to gain a profit. it's not like buying goods or food, the return is a product, not profits so no reason to chase anything from product.

This only happen because you are starting with the wrong foot! Entering on gambling with the intention of making money is the first big mistake a gambler can make.

I know, it is hard to think about gambling without associate it with the financial gain, but the right thing to you do is think of it as a form of entertainment, just like going to stadium to cheer for your team or when you play a sport with your friends betting money... the main intention is always to have fun, even if there is money involved as a reward.

If you think about it this way, you will understand that even losing money you had fun... strange, i know... having fun while losing money, but you did not LOSE money, you SPENT money in the same way you would on other entertainment.

Each person’s experience is unique, right? So, while it’s true that we should all learn how to lose => that’s just as important as learning how to win... It’s that simple. Once you accept that idea—because we all go through phases of denial or something similar to what you mentioned—you reach a level of maturity that varies from person to person.

This means it can take months, years, or even forever to accept or understand that losses shouldn’t affect you more than they should. In my case, that adjustment period ranges from five minutes to 24 hours…/(+/-)/

During that time, I might question everything, like you mentioned, but then it fades away. Over time, I even forget about it completely. Believe me, you shouldn’t dwell on losses.

It’s unnecessary torture. It’s not easy, but you can’t become an experienced gambler just by winning—if that were the case, it would be easy. Even the most successful gamblers have lost their bankroll more than once. It happens. The key is learning to manage losses not only from a bankroll perspective, but also from a mental and strategic one.

I usually deposit the exact amount I intend to bet at the beginning of the week; I like to deposit in advance and bet according to the budget I have available in my casino account. I also tend to stick to only one or two casinos; if I want to switch, I try to maintain that limit. It's rare for me to deposit more; I only do it if there's a match or fight I want to bet on, but never for casino games.

[Pandorak]

First of all, it must be acknowledged that accepting defeat is not easy, especially if the money used for gambling is money you can’t afford to lose. Even if it is money you can afford to lose, there will inevitably be a sense of frustration when the final result is a loss and that is a normal reaction to unmet expectations of winning.

You must fully understand that gambling is indeed very risky. Loss is a certainty, while winning is a bonus, so if your intention when gambling is to win (to profit at the end of the game), that is the wrong mindset. In reality, the only thing you can control is your gambling budget, so that when you lose, you won’t be too upset because the money came from that budget.

[Russlenat]

The key is learning to manage losses not only from a bankroll perspective, but also from a mental and strategic one.

I think that without a good strategy and a tough mindset, proper bankroll management alone will not lead to success.

That’s why, if we really aim for long-term winning, we should start by setting a bankroll that is actually meant for the long run. Not the kind where we begin with $10, then once we lose, we keep doubling and doubling like some Martingale nonsense. That kind of approach will only make the journey shorter because we won’t last very long.

If the bankroll is truly intended for gambling and we manage it well, it should never reach the point where we say, “this is my last bet,” unless we’ve already burned through it badly. As long as there’s still balance left and we’re handling it properly, then we can keep gambling without forcing desperate moves.

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

In the past, I was probably one of those people but not anymore. RIght now, I try to stick to my stance of only using a certain amount of money each time I gamble, although sometimes I still get greedy and aim for maximum returns but the budget will be the same. Whenever I lost in the past, my mind would immediately tell me to deposit more money to recover my losses. In the end, I just kept losing all my money, after experiencing this several times I realized that I was losing money for nothing. It was just a delusion that I could recover my losses by depositing more money.

Yes, accepting defeat and loss is extremely difficult, and this is what makes many gamblers return to deposit time and time again, exceeding the budget they had previously set for themselves.

I don't know if this is a psychological or hormonal issue that makes the brain constantly think about the loss and constantly think that it must compensate for the loss, and therefore it deposits more despite the great risk and exceeding the budget.

[Patikno]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

The thought of making "one last deposit" often comes after a loss, and the urge to do so immediately becomes overwhelming. This is where our decision-making wisdom is tested, meaning we must resist the urge to give in. Honestly, self-control can sometimes be difficult, especially after experiencing a significant loss while gambling. Therefore, we must develop the habit of not giving in to this urge and start with small losses. Once we become accustomed to it, we will be able to apply it effectively.

We need to have discussions like this, as a constant reminder to each other. Sometimes, people easily forget what they already understand, and reminders like this are important with the hope, that we can become better at gambling, and become responsible gamblers.

[fruktik]

Giving advice to others is one thing, but not following it yourself is quite another.

I've told myself so many times that if I lose, I won't make another deposit and should take a break for a few days or weeks, but I can't seem to stick to this rule. I keep depositing money and losing. It's frustrating. It's my own fault, and no one else's. Something needs to be done about this.

[Achalugo BTC]

You’re right, you shouldn’t expect much from gambling and you need to realise that the games are run by an algorithm and it decide the win after a determinate number of game. So, just like classic computer and Play Station games, you should play them for fun and entertainment, without letting it become an obsession and without thinking you can change your life with a single bet. One risk is that you might find it hard to stop, so it’s best to set yourself a limit and stick to it.

Yeah, especially if they are obsessed to gamble, which they will find it difficult to escape from it and can't stick to their proper way of gambling. And one shouldn't expect much from gambling as you stated because expecting much from gambling will make them to break their own rules and fall into the traps of getting gambling to be a means of survival, which is not why gambling is being built, so its better that one should just gamble for fun and leave for the sake of their mental wellness.

[Inwestour]

That’s why I believe that before you start gambling, you should have a well-developed strategy tested with small stakes. You deposit a very small amount and place minimal bets. If you’re unable to maintain that deposit, grow it, and so on, it means your strategy doesn’t work. And that means you shouldn’t be putting in large amounts of money. Instead, you should deposit a small amount again and try a different strategy or approach. You should only deposit and play with larger stakes if you’ve managed to find a way of gambling where you at least don’t lose your entire deposit and can keep it at the initial level.

[Dunamisx]

The more you do one, there will always be another reason of doing another, this is gambling and we can be so attracted to playing beyond we have planned for, except we are been cautioned and have to sensitivity of maintaining order even as we play step by step, because we cant have it all, we only need to try our best and also prevent any occurrence to excessive gambling.
