Have you ever won in gambling but still felt like you lost?

[Peanutswar]

I think some gamblers have experienced this before. You win first, maybe a decent amount, then instead of stopping you continue playing because you feel the momentum is still there. Then slowly the profit goes down. You tell yourself just one more round, one more bet, maybe you can bring it back higher again. But in the end, you either leave with very small profit or nothing at all.

This could be two typical types of gamblers. First is the gambler who would like to test out their luck until where it could bring them. The other one is because of hoping too much after they win, they made another set of games to keep another attempt of winning a large amount again like what they did hit before, becomes greedier ended up losing again their gains. When I hit a large amount after couple of games is I do cashout because you can't hit another consecutive win in a game that gives already a win to you, try another set or try next day.

That feeling is strange because technically you had a chance to go home winning, but because you did not stop, it still feels like a loss.

Has this happened to you before? What made you continue instead of taking the profit?

I think this is an experience almost every gambler must have experienced. But the ratio now varies as to how many times such incident has re-occured. I have experienced it, but not much, either once or twice. I have better experiences of going home with my profits more oftentimes than when I left the gambling shop empty and feeling like a looser.

I don't forget the day I had my biggest win. I calmly left the shop without playing anymore games. Have some money to few persons there in form of happiness and allowing them to be part of my joy, and I left. My money was utilized well, and I ensured I enjoyed myself. To win a bet is too difficult for me to squander the one I won, no way. The problem is some poeple are just so carried away with unknown confidence that winning is along the way after they managed to win just a single bet, but that's a no for me. I go home to enjoy my winnings.

Exactly,that is why many gamblers are stuck ,they become so anxious, desperately putting their all just so they can win ,but yet they keep losing ,many people are lucky to win too even if it's small winning,but the best thing to do is to be discipline, weather you win or lose ,just know when to stop ,when to channel your energy to something else instead of putting up so much on gambling, because you can be very busy chasing the win and still not get it for long , gambling should not be seem as a full time job but activities that one carried out when they are free .

I also highly believe that any attempt to recover losses through repeat of gambling is the road to bankruptcy. The ability to drastically quit when time run out is important in having peaceful life. Consider this activity as pastime, without high expectation of making big profit. Make sure to stick to your main career in order to have your future.

There are gambler's that failed to realise that it is wrong to chase after losses. The mistake of chasing after losses sometimes do start by a gambler using more than what they can afford to lose to gamble. If it happens they end up losing, they would want to win this money back at this point they won't be gambling for profit but to get the money they have lost.
A gambler can only quit gambling or take a break when they have self discipline to do so and also a good understanding that in gambling is either ones win or they lose. Chasing after losses can only result to a gambler losing more money.

Players certainly differ in how they perceive the game and how they construct their ideas about winning, but most often I see players who can win but are dissatisfied because they start to think they could have won more. This is an illusory notion they want to believe, and it's often unfounded. They should consider how exactly they can win that other players can't, although almost no one wants to think about that. In any case, I like your position on taking part of your winnings and stopping; this will allow you to figure out how to proceed and detach yourself from emotions.

We all already know nothing is certain in gambling  so what I think everyone do is trying of luck because the result or outcome of what we predict is not sure in this note what we should be doing is to keep trying luck but in as much as nothing is certain or guarantee in gambling we should have a limit on how we try our luck because once we try several times and it didn't work for us the best thing to do is to stop or take break.

Whenever I hit a huge win in gambling, I don’t know but I just somehow feel like the casino would start monitoring me to see if they can take back the money I won earlier, so what I do is that I withdraw all the wins and run as far away as I can from the casino, maybe stay away for some weeks or even months. But although sometimes I do feel like trying some more after that win, when I figure out that the urge is much, what I do is to withdraw everything, and redeposit a smaller amount I wouldn’t mind losing and then continue.

I always get blamed whenever I choose to cash out after a win, because my friend like winning streaks and once it's set in on slots they keep them spinning, I witnessed him winning massive amount as if the casino is on his side that day.

I believe this is why he always blamed me for my quick withdrawal habit, until one day where he hit some money and he kept playing and he lost everything, if a gambler can fight that greed feeling after they won it would help them a lot.

Many people still don't get it until it's too late, gambling was never made to make you rich, it was made to suck your blood dry, casino businesses are flourishing for this reason only.

This happens because of the nature of greed that always comes unexpectedly that makes us always think that the gambling we do should be better than what we get but this is indeed a subtle trap that occurs for our psychology to continue gambling without caring about the winnings that have been obtained or even with the defeat that we have received.

Today I am in this phase and I don't want to touch any site for today because the strong urge to gamble is very high for me especially after yesterday I lost several bets on the world cup. What I thought from the beginning was to recover the losses yesterday but on the one hand I knew that it was risky so I didn't want to be in gambling at this time because in my brain I still had the ambition to recover the losses that made this could be a situation that was not good for the bet that would be made if it forced to gamble.

That feeling is strange because technically you had a chance to go home winning, but because you did not stop, it still feels like a loss.

Has this happened to you before? What made you continue instead of taking the profit?

I actually feel like this feeling is a form of self awareness of one's greed we just dont want to put a label on it. I think we have all felt this way in one form or another. The act of greed is always wanting more and never being fully satisfied. Addiction can follow. The only way to cure greed is to give against one's own pride and humble yourself. This is not directed towards you OP just going on a tangent here. Keep at it (or restrain yourself if need be, tame your dogs!)and good luck!

You are extremely right, in a situation where a gambler feels like loosing despite winning is an act of greed, Desire for more and more can make a person act irrationally or lose good judgement. It going to be hard for the to differentiate between what is beneficial to them and that which is harmful to them. If gambling gives you a lots, it will also take a lots away from you, expecting more from gambling is just an illusion. The best thing is to withdraw what you have and stop being delusional.

It's good if you have that kind of discipline as trying to push for more mostly leads you to lose everything back, if you already have a good amount of profits, cashing it out and make sure to leave as early as possible and enjoy your earnings away from any type of gambling. If you feel that lust then you are doing it right just deposit small amount and let your desire being satisfied.

[Umulala-alala]

What makes gambler to continue gambling when they needed some break is greed that's been not satisfied with the one they won and they continue gambling after seeing that they are already in lost at this time now they no longer go for profit but trying to chase loss, when a gambler starts chasing loss they continue to loss more after they might have gamble with what they can't afford to let go.

[TheUltraElite]

When I win at gambling I do not feel like I have lost.
Maybe I have lost some time but it is expected since gambling can be time consuming.

It is a better mindset. People feel that wish they won big. Not winning that makes them feel sad. Therefore the statement that sometimes even winning feels like you have lost. Because your ego has an appetite that never ends, you have to stop that appetite yourself by being disciplined.

The start of that discipline is seeing how much you have lost in terms of money and time over the years and then only you realize the importance of saving the money from gambling.

If this does not get on your head, then you are not addicted to the game is what I feel, which is good.

I'll take the feeling of what OP indicates about winning with my bets and still feeling lost. Like someone who's won and yet, have that urge to chase their losses.

I think that the latter is more miserable than someone who's won and yet feels empty and completely lost.

That urge to chase losses will turn into a huge disaster for that gambler and it will be a wake up call for them when they don't change their habits and mindsets.

I agree that Discipline is one of the most important elements to get a successful gambling session to a disappointing one. Players are able to win a lot but end up losing the majority of their winnings in the chase for more. When winning big, it's a good idea to take the profits, as it will ensure that the money is kept safe. If you still feel the urge to play. That's a much safer bet since you're only playing with minimal amount that you can afford to lose. With regard to the long run. It's sometimes more important to preserve your winnings than looking for another run.

The best method of making sure you win is by redeeming it so that it does not get back to the machine. The aspiration to pursue more profits beyond foreseeable boundaries is one of the reasons why many players fail. Un dangerous method of personal finances is to quit as soon as your starting capital is recouped. The trick to continue enjoying this activity is to protect your wins.

What the gambler has lost is too massive or much so upon winning the small or average amount doesn't make him happy and in the mode from the person he is still at the losing side but he has to be happy that he has won percentage of his lost. It would have bad he lost that game too. One thing we gamblers have to understand is that gambling is not meant for us to win at all time but to try our luck. And in the process we lost more than the winning. And if really it is for fun. We should not bother about the losing but having the hope of winning one day. And that is why it's good to use spare funds. And not funds budgeted for a good project in the home.

It may also be that a person, after testing his luck several times in a row, does not get lucky. Now if that person stops betting, his luck will never be in his favor again and if he bets within his means, he may get lucky. If gambling is something he enjoys, then it is not difficult to continue gambling, but if someone is aggressive in gambling, then it is a big problem for him. It is also true that there are many gamblers who initially tried to test their luck and then they became addicted to gambling. If you can enjoy the excitement of gambling within control, it will definitely be enjoyable.

I agree when there's a winning, that gambler should be happy for recovering a percentage of their losses.

Because it would be more devastating and sadder if they keep on gambling and nothing has returned. So, that's a consolation to be thankful for.

But it can't be denied that thought even if a bit is recovered, there's still the sadness they feel about being not content.

Greed has done more harm than good in gambling and this is because they have no power to control their emotions and their mindset no longer stick with the idea that gambling its for fun, that is why they can't stop themselves when they need to, even when they know that chasing after losses or chasing after money from gambling will only cause more problems but yet, they will still continue to gamble until they're completely down and out of funds, that's when they can stop gambling and this might affect their health.

Greed can lead you to destruction, so it is good to control your greed and gamble. But most of the time gamblers cannot control their greed by winning or losing money and as a result they face financial losses and gradually become addicted to gambling. Gambling is only for entertainment, it is not right to gamble with extra money in the hope of making quick money, it is better to gamble for entertainment with what you can afford to lose.
