Do you have this feeling, when you start loosing in a row that..

[Darker45]

It seems this is a brain thing. I've experienced this myself. I'm sure others have also experienced this. This has even become a local myth. But I doubt there's more to this than mere coincidence.

What's probably happening is that your brain is showing biases. Your big bets that are losing will probably stick more to your brain than those smaller losses, or those times when other bigger bets also won. But the truth is that the results are random. The good thing these days is that many crypto casinos are provably fair. Bettors could check for themselves the fairness of the results.

A lot of thoughts will come into your mind as human when you're on a long losing streak. Sometimes, you will feel that the casino is cheating on you and they ain't probably fair with their algorithm. Sometimes, you feel like using another casino which you will definitely do and you will still experience the same thing. Sometimes, you have a superstitions belief why you're losing. The fact is that, it's a normal thing in gambling. I have being on a losing streak to the point that I went on a break.

That's how gambling works, that's how a casino performs to carry out its house edge.  So it's normal to feel this way, because the casino is not designed to pamper us and provide what we want, but to play against us, trick us, until we ended up losing what we have.

When we are on a losing streak, that's the time when a casino is seriously fulfilling its job, and they always want that way. So if we think the casino turns out the enemy, do not question it because that's the only way they can take an edge from us, take our money while leaving us with empty pockets.

I believe every gambler has this exact feel when the game turns south, and the game that provides the needed thrills is no longer providing the needed experience. However, for me not to have a negative impression about the gambling platform when the situation of a losing streak happens is the reason why i always play games on the gambling platform I believe provides fair gaming services with their gaming result, and also has some bonus offers.

That the particular game/ casino is somehow playing against you ?

I know that is sounding  strange and  that  most games have verified RNG algorythms etc, but still have happened couple of times to me in the past when i was gambler. When i just observed the live roulette or play with small bets on some slots, everything if fine and according to plan & statistics, however when you start betting heavily, the thing goes suddenly way out of the normal delta.

Haha yes I have encountered this experience- it's like that specific game is always against you. No matter how many times you try to gamble on playing that game, the result would always lead to your downfall in the long-run.

Personally, the game blackjack gave me varying results but it was leaning towards a loss. On my experience, it's like I have a 70% chance of losing that game even if I employed and used different recommended strategies on guides on how to win that game.

It seems this is a brain thing. I've experienced this myself. I'm sure others have also experienced this. This has even become a local myth. But I doubt there's more to this than mere coincidence.

The good thing these days is that many crypto casinos are provably fair. Bettors could check for themselves the fairness of the results.

I think this can also explain the reason on why we only remember the negative aspects instead of the positive things that happened.

For example, if you are so used to winning, it tends to desensitize the brain which alters your perception of it. If you suddenly experience a series of loss, you would feel like the whole world is against you and that you have been experiencing a losing streak more than your winnings as a whole.

Will be interesting to hear your toughts...could be the case that I am just too suspicous 

That's the world of gambling, we never really have real hopes in gambling, I always think gambling is a game, where we or the general public are involved in gaming activities, of course there are two things that many people always feel, namely losing and winning.

For this reason, we all really think logically, as well as the money we use to bet, we really don't need selfishness, ambition, greedy and so on, don't be too confident about being able to double your money in gambling, if you don't want to end up like you said.

[Leahized]

The outcomes of casino games are random and they don't actually change based on the fact that you increased your stake, it is just coincidental that anytime you stake high the outcome of the game changes, luck is always based on timing when it comes to gambling. You cannot predict what happens next that's the more reason why it's important to always stake low to be on the safe side.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Casinos never play against gamblers because that's just how their algorithm works. As every gambler should know, gambling means taking risks. If you can be aware of this risk, you will not be disappointed for the bet. However, in the case of slot games, the multiplier changes over time. And the main reason for consecutive losses is to expect more multipliers. So to win the bet, cashing out the low multiples, this reduces the risk a lot.

[mitchr4]

I think almost every gambler goes through this. Our minds naturally feel losses harder than wins, even when the amount is the same. That is just how our brain works. For players who bet at the last second, they probably do it on purpose so no one can guess their next move. And even though RNG is completely random, our brain remembers the bad moments more than the good ones. So it feels like the casino always wins right when the stakes are high, even if that's not actually true.

[Akbarkoe]

It's not an uncommon feeling to have, we even get threads here in the forum coming from gambling where they claim that the casino or the game they are playing is against them or rigged. Obviously, I also get this feeling from time to time, even though I know it is baseless and probably not true, but I can't stop it.

Yes, I read this too, but there is no definite follow-up because there is no valid evidence, so this can only be an assumption and a one-sided statement even though there are some people who say the same feeling.
 
Sometimes I am also confused when I am in the same position, but it all doesn't matter when luck is understood that it cannot be forced that we must win.
 
I always consider it an unlucky day.

Yes, we can't stop it thinking because it seems the casino is attacking us, especially after having a winning streak. More like, ''now that you gained profits, then it's time for me to take them back and even leave you with bigger losses on hand.''

Casinos are honestly playing against us, and we are most likely the losers in the end. Why? Of course they should always be the constant winner, what's the use of their house edge if we are the ones winning in the end.

It is usual to think the same, almost all gamblers think the same way. I,ve got the feeling that casinos finds it hard to give a gambler profits pay after pay, but the algorithm doesn’t work in such manner.

Casinos already has an edge over we gamblers, just have in mind that beating the house is hard to do, only few gamblers experience such luck, losses are the most part of being a gambler.

[MAAManda]

Like most other users here, I also had the same thought before. Making small bets almost always yields the expected results, but it's different when I start making big bets. Until finally, I won the big bet I made, that's when I realized that it wasn't about the platform cheating, but it was really just pure luck. The size of the bet doesn't change the outcome, always remember that gambling is just about luck.

[Dunamisx]

As I said earlier that I don't have to feel somehow negatively bad when I'm losing on a row, gambling is being designed to happen in such a pattern and we have to see it as a game of luck that when we play, we either stand the chance of losing or winning, and whichever comes our we should be embraced with cheerfulness because we have fun gambling and not to feel bad losing.

[Makus]

Winning is about getting lucky, you can have a winning streak and a losing streak at anytime because these outcomes happen randomly but a lot of gamblers think that they can avoid all of these by changing or switching to a different casino but that doesn't really change anything when it comes to getting lucky. The casino doesn't change the algorithm when you increase your bet, that's just a feeling the actual thing is that the outcomes are already programmed to put the casino in profits, as long as you are a consistent gambler you will definitely lose whether you stake high or not.

[mcdouglasx]

It's all an illusion. Let me give you an example: sometimes you play at one casino and lose a lot, then you try another casino and get a winning streak. Subconsciously, this is where bias comes in. You start to think that this casino is better than the previous one or that the other one is rigged. The same thing happens with changes in the amounts; it's simply bias. Besides, you can't be sure that the odds have changed. You'd have to play millions of games to get an average closer to reality, and that would be a financial drain. So don't overthink it. If you're on a losing streak, stop and try again when you're psychologically calm.

Its right, but importantly its best for one to be at peace after their losses than to go for revenge and create more problems for them and also lose their control that will take the peace from them while chasing their losses. Losing a game is not what every players prays for but be ready for all this keeps the fun intact because they are aware that a day like this will surely come and without doubt, is either they continue or just give up.

It's not always the case, but there are more times when it's like that, so it's important to be fully aware of what's happening. Sometimes, I get hypnotized and just ask what has happened  , but it is what it is, I don't want to be a sour loser thinking that the casino cheated on me because it's just useless, I prefer to move on and think that luck is coming soon, that's how playing on luck-based games is.

[Muba20]

After lose repeatedly, many times a gambler becomes dissatisfied with his own bets. At that time, it seems that the gambling platform is going against him. It is not only in your case but most of the gamblers may have such experience. I also thought the same when I lost. But I believe that something must happen that has no proof. And if there is no proof, there is no opportunity to debate about that matter. At one point in the casino game, when my winnings are high, I become more aggressive and try for a few more wins, but from then, my losses continue to increase. At that time, wherever I put my money, my losses are guaranteed. I had the same question in my mind that why did the casino only make me an opponent. Whenever I placed a bet, it would go against me.

[bhadz]

IMHO that is cognitive bias, the perception that we often think that the casino is playing against us when we're going through a losing streak. We already knew that in gambling, the house always win and we seem to believe that there will be times that we should be lucky. But if we keep on losing, we have to acknowledge that there's no luck within us and better to stop so that there won't be too much losses. Even so, we continue and think that it's just the chance hasn't come to us so, that's the cognitive bias that we believe in the wrong thought.

That the particular game/ casino is somehow playing against you ?

Not a thought but a fact that the casino is actually playing against me. Is not playing slots is playing against the casino?  What my thought is that some casinos rigged the game odds by deliberately lowering the winning percentage to make players lose continuously.

I know that is sounding  strange and  that  most games have verified RNG algorythms etc, but still have happened couple of times to me in the past when i was gambler. When i just observed the live roulette or play with small bets on some slots, everything if fine and according to plan & statistics, however when you start betting heavily, the thing goes suddenly way out of the normal delta.

True, I have the same experience, when one stays long on the game they eventually get bad results, a longer series of losing streak as if it was program that way.  Like if one is auto spinning, the first 100 spins give decent results, then every batch of 100 spins result becomes worst and worst until almost the whole batch of spin gives losses.

[Hardyrobust]

 I don't feel this way about any casino Moreover the casino wasn't programmed to be against any particular gambler or to favour any particular person. What is just happening is that sometimes we fail to understand how gambling works and we try to blame casino. The mistake of not taking a break when it seems that luck isn't on our side . There times that we feel that the fact that we were lucky to win the first time that we will continue winning. This is very wrong casino isn't playing against us that's just the nature of the game.
