Do gamblers become careless after a big win?

[leonair]

I notice this many times, sometimes losing is not really the only problem in gambling. Winning can also be a problem if we don’t know how to control it.

When a gambler wins big, the feeling is different. You feel confident, you feel lucky, and sometimes you start thinking that maybe you can win more if you continue. That is where the mistake usually starts. Instead of taking the profit, some gamblers increase the bet and play longer. Then after some time, the profit is gone, and worse, they even lose their own money too.

So maybe the hard part in gambling is not only accepting losses, but also controlling yourself when you are already winning.

Have you experienced this before? Winning first, then still ending the session with nothing because you did not stop? 

Winning is very good for everyone and when someone wins big then he cannot control himself from excitement. And at that time he forgets what he should do. And then he spends a lot of unnecessary money. He parties with friends and wastes a lot of money there and then comes back to gambling again with a lot of money. Because at that time his confidence increases that since he has won big once, he will win again today. And gambling is an easy way for him to earn money. This kind of attitude makes the gambler careless when he has a big win.

Because sometimes what we always think about when we win is whether our luck will continue to last or not so we will continue to try even though we fail several times which makes us lose the winnings we get.  But if our self-control is strong enough then maybe things like this can be minimized so I guess it depends on the level of self-control of each gambler.

It is difficult if our self-control is weak because our gambling results win or lose the results will be the same when we cannot control ourselves properly then we can be sure we will only lose everything we have because of poor self-control.

One really don't understand why it's always like that in gambling, after longing for wins you never had for a long period of time and you just let it goes when it comes, is this emotions or greed because as a gambler with wins all you have to do is go invest properly with your wins but no .

One needs to know when to stop if the needs arises and not chasing your losses and wins that you will never get back.

[Cantsay]

Well, it’s very possible to feel that you still have some luck and if you just keep playing you’ll win even more, that’s very common with so many gamblers, myself included. I have gambled, won, and at the end of the day logged out of my account without a single penny from it, simply because I lost everything back to the platform.

It’s more common when the win happens early in your game play. Those moments when you just logged into your account gamble a few times and then, boom you get the big win. You’ll start feeling overconfident and keep playing until you’re down to zero.

[Makus]

Gamblers can get too comfortable after a big win that's because they feel confident in the strategy that they applied to win that amount that they got but one thing they fail to understand is that there is nothing you can do in gambling that can keep on giving you consistent wins. A lot of times people get lucky and they assume that they won because they did something but that's just a wrong assumption. Although not every gambler gets this way after winning and this is mainly because they are more experienced when it comes to gambling.

Yes winning has its own emotions as well, you know everything it this life has both the positive and the negative part no matter how good or bad it is, so talking about winning will seem like the after effects are all positive but we should also know about the negative parts as well.

The excitement after profits can make you make some silly decisions like increasing your risk, buying bear for you and your fellow casino buddies where by squandering the money, building too much confidence and a lot more these emotions are dangerous and can turn your joy to sadness if not avoided.

So the best thing to do is to keep a stable emotion in loss or in profits, try to make sure your emotions are stable in winning or loosing gambles

When some gamblers are lucky to win, it normally makes them feel that winning is easy and that they can win by playing again. It also makes some gamblers have so much confidence in gambling that they gamble with the amount they can't afford to lose because they feel that, at the end of the game, they will still win. It is important for gamblers to learn and not to be carried away by their gambling wins.

Sometimes the winning is one thing that gives them the feelings that they can go on to win over and over again not thinking about a possible loss which happens often in gambling. Those who are disciplined will understand that after winning the best thing is to stop them continue another day but those who are yet to have self control over their gambling life winning pushes them to gamble more until they lose it all .

Yup, I agree. It often happens to new gamblers I guess when they have already doubled their bankroll, they keep playing because they think they can turn it into 10 times more instead of stopping and taking their profits. Greed is always there and our guard tends to drop when we're either on a winning streak or a losing streak, making us more careless about the consequences of continuing to play. When we make a profit from gambling, it's always a good idea to withdraw at least some of it wo we can avoid getting rek both our profit and our bankroll at the same time.

It is something I have personally never experienced because I have never had a big win which had made me lost control over my session or personal finances, but I understand the point you are trying to present before us here on this thread...
It only takes a look at what has happened repeatedly to lottery winners: they become millionaires or billionaires over night and after a few years of reckless spending, they end up being poor again.

Easy money comes and goes, thus actual easy money does not actually exist in the way so many people believe.

Also, when people win a significant amount of money because of good luck, then get cocky and believe they are invincible and can continue to get even more from the casino, in the end they are left with nothing else to gamble in their budget.

Yes, some gamblers might be careless if they are not disciplined enough a big win can make them so. When players win. They tend to develop an overconfidence that can lead them to believe that they will continue to win more. They are thus unable to actually make a profit and walk away as they keep betting. Numerous gamblers have found that they have blown a good winning session due to the fact that they were unable to control their emotions. I think that sometimes it's harder to manage a big win than it is to manage a loss. So, the secret is to remain calm, do not place wagers that are beyond your means and keep in mind that each gambling session could shift rather significantly.

I cannot speak for other people, but I can say that I have been in this kind of situation many times. When I win big, I feel like there is less pressure on my bets and I can make bigger bets without worrying too much. My reason is that if I lose, that is fine because it is just my winnings anyway.

I was supposed to stop with a profit, but because I got greedy or lost control, I ended up losing my winnings. But AFAIR, it never happened that I lost everything including my initial bankroll.

When we hit a big win, we face another challenge, increasing our bet size I’ve experienced this myself perhaps because dopamine really does test our adrenaline so yes, this seems to be a fairly common reaction that we inevitably experience as people who enjoy gambling.
Actually, if we’ve already won from the bets we placed and the winnings have doubled the initial stake, the best option is to cash out. However, the temptation to keep going is truly strong. So only those who can control themselves can stop easily.

This experience has always been in the gambling industry,losses aren’t only destructive but a big win could also be destructive if not managed appropriately.The reward system play a role in the decision of most gamblers,that is they would think that they would keep winning after a win,but how on earth is that even possible?In gambling,a win doesn’t give birth to more wins likewise a loss doesn’t pave way for a win,the reality of the whole matter is your win relies on luck and not by your smartness or strategy.So I would encourage every gambler to resist the desire of gambling more than it’s expected after a big win.

I would not call it a reward system though, because if we call it that way, it sounds like we are not risking anything and we just get rewarded when we do things right.

Gambling is different. We risk money and we win money, that is it. So it is more about how much we are willing to gamble and how much we can afford to lose.

It is just like putting up a business. We do not know if it will succeed, and that is how gambling feels to me, especially if we are already talking about serious matters like the possibility of becoming profitable in gambling. Different gamblers may have different mindsets. Mine is more about taking it seriously, not just purely for fun.

In response to this, we can perfectly describe this feeling as being "greedy" and not knowing when to stop.

Experiencing a loss feels like the whole world is against you. The natural feeling would be to recover those losses by betting again. Additionally, experiencing a win gives you that boost of confidence that makes you feel like you are invincible. Consequently, it can give you that false sense of security in which you would think that the games that you will be playing subsequent to that win would be a winning streak. In reality, however, you would just convert your profit into losses thereby creating this endless cycle of a general loss.

So maybe the hard part in gambling is not only accepting losses, but also controlling yourself when you are already winning.

Have you experienced this before? Winning first, then still ending the session with nothing because you did not stop? 

I agree with your statement, OP.

I also experienced what you perfectly describe as an endless loop of winning and losing at the same time. You become trapped in that cycle in which the result would be a common denominator of a loss. The only way to stop this cycle is either to ACCEPT that you have lost; or to STOP after winning big or at least a profit on your end.

first thing I will advise any gambler that experienced a big win is to calm down and stand still with anything he should do that has to do with money, when you stand still with what you are supposed to do, you can now analyze what should come afterwards carefully instead of going on a spending spree. Two things happen mostly when somebody wins, when you win a big money, your fantasies are reawakened and you want to quickly acquire those things you have been admiring for a very long period of time. It is like somebody who's damned with cravings after seeing their favorite dish and will fill like swallowing the entire food which is impossible. But after taking that little break in form of a pause, it becomes easy for the person to control the craving and eat slowly thereafter, same thing should applies to when you win big.

I agree that many gamblers go on a spending spree after a big win, due to the excitement and overconfidence that takes over their thinking. If you win a lot you might think that you will always be luckily and will start to make riskier choices and place bigger bets. Others, also, begin to splash out on things which they have long wanted to have but fail to take into account the possibility of eventual losses. This is why it's crucial to take a break after a big victory. A calm mind helps a gambler to make better financial decisions and doesn't do any impulsive actions. The best thing to do is to cash in a portion of the winnings and be disciplined, not trying to cash in a large amount of winnings right away.

winning a big amount of money during gambling won't change a person on how they spend money. There are people that are always careless with spending money. So they lack financial discipline and don't know how to control cash, spending money especially money that that they won from gambling. It will just be like free money and they won't be bothered on how they spend it even if it is on things that aren't that important to them. Apart from those gamblers that are already discipline on how to handle cash it will be difficult for a gambler to make good used of there money.

The only way to stop this cycle is either to ACCEPT that you have lost; or to STOP after winning big or at least a profit on your end.

There is always the word stop, and let me add to that, stop at the right time. Whether you are winning or losing, you need to activate that stop button.

At least enjoy the winning if you win, so you will not end up regretting like other gamblers who start hot but lose in the end. That is because of greed, no plan in gambling, stupidity, and all the negatives, that is why casinos are more profitable because of that kind of irresponsible action.

Although not every gambler gets this way after winning and this is mainly because they are more experienced when it comes to gambling.

It is true that gamblers start to think they are overly intelligent after a big win but this is more due to the algorithms of the casino or betting platforms than to themselves. These houses are designed in such a way that they give you some big wins in the beginning and make you feel invincible. This is not just a misconception or stupidity of the gambler, but a psychological trap of the house to lure him into betting even bigger.  At the end of the day no matter how experienced the gambler is, the advantage always belongs to the platform, so no perfect strategy for winning in the long run is actually possible to survive in this system.

Based on the sad statistics among lottery winners, for example, there are a lot of people who have become much more unhappy after a huge monetary gain, and this is explained by the fact that they immediately divorce their wives, leave their families and start living their (in quotes) best life, while they before They were disciplined people, but now there are absolutely no authorities or restrictions on them. And now they show all the weakness and depravity of their character. And that's why I completely agree with the author of the topic that big money is often dangerous.

I think there is no phenomenon here, because lotteries, as in the gambling section, often involve the simplest people of all, who do not rely on analytics like bettors, or who are not as meticulous as gamblers, and lotteries are dominated by the simplest stratum of the population, which is not devoted to gambling at all. games, but at the same time they hope for a miracle, and I think among these lottery fans there are the largest number of people who are poorly educated financially and have very simplistic views on life.
