Failed psychology playing casino originals

[AHOYBRAUSE]

I guess many of us that occasionally play originals games know this. Lets say on dice you choose a side, at coin flip you choose one side or at limbo you choose a multiplier and then play. Mostly I, and I know many others do the same, stay on the one side and stick with it, often just adjusting the wager if a losing run comes to smaller bets (hopefully).
I for example often had the (I know it's wrong) mindset that when I switch the side my original side would come more, and actually in my history it always does all of the sudden.
I know all the babbling about “provably fair” and so on, yet that’s my personal experience.

So why not changing the side? Is it because of not trusting fair play, or is it because of being superstitious, or something else?

Most of the time, I play original games with auto bet feature on to make every bet faster since my goal is just to accumulate wager as much as possible while I don’t care much on the result.

Back then when I’m still seriously playing dice, I rarely switch side because I think that sticking and just wait for the winning streak is more convenient rather than chase the won on each side since everything is random.

It’s more on convenience for me.

It is more on being superstitious, I guess, because if we are realistic, we know that we will never win in the long run on games that have a house edge. When I was new, I even thought that the martingale strategy was the best strategy that could make me profitable, but the result was even worse.

So we love to experiment, but we neglect the reality that there is a house edge, therefore no strategy will really work in the long run, and that is why we remain superstitious.

That can be common to you, I play randomly and I also like auto bet when I am busy with something. I do not have any superstitions about anything that is gambling and I know that any money I have on the gambling site have more likelihood to be lost. I like not to switch to another side very fast but I change at anytime just to be random after some time.

For games that have a house edge, the only thing we can really go after is the fun, but a real chance to win in the long run is not going to happen.

I always sit in the same place for good luck in the evenings when i play poker with my friends
I don't know if it helps, but i feel stronger when i always sit in the same place
It's player nonsense, obviously i understand it very well. But i do every time

Actually, changing between "hi" and "lo" doesn't make difference, because what really matters is the edge the casino has against you. You are constantly playing with 48% - 49% winning chances when doubling your base bet on winning. Therefore, the house has 52% - 51% winning chances on every bets you place.

That slight advantage they have is enough to ensure profitablity for casinos the more gamblers play. You may change from one side to another, trying to predict the right outcomes, but inevitably that mathematical advantage of the house will catch you at some point on a long loss streak, and then it will be game over!

In the world of gambling, every individual has money to bet, that's when the risk for the individual begins, dopamine will be released from their brain, even if the individual changes sides, their game strategy is not guaranteed to produce fairness there.

Many people in gambling do every game want to produce fair and proven results, so they often associate each game with feelings of pleasure and success, Even though this sometimes happens and most of the time it doesn't, generally such conditions are often characterized by behavioral or psychological patterns so that they can cause all kinds of symptoms or behaviors that we do, can think of negative consequences and also think of distractions thinking that every game is never fair.

I don't know much but I believe there is small mathematics there. I'm using myself as an example. For me to win more, I made some calculation of 4 or 5 times in each of the side. If I am taking the head, I will choose the head for five times then switched to the tail and play it like 3 or 4 times and switch it back to the head again. I tried this flipping game in some casinos, I couldn't play because it was too fast while some of them are okay to Play. But the most important thing is the timing. You have to time yourself for the flipping if not, you will lose all.

There are different kind of dice games and the chances of you winning in each of the games can be different.
I am aware that the system regulate the games based on how it was programmed and that determine what side will eventually wins.
Mixing your pick may change the outcome slightly but does not determine how far you will be winning.

I specifically mentioned flipping game which is in full coin flip, which I have also played sometimes again and I know how that game is, and all my sentences and clauses were base on that game and not on some kind of dice game. And if I will make a comparison between two. I will choose coin flip. You deviated from my comment. As I said purely to coin flip game.

It usually stems from superstition. A lot of people do this. They think they'll lose if they switch sides, but they lose even if they stay on their own side. So it's better to just choose one side of the dice based on what you feel like doing, without taking it too seriously. When we take it too seriously and stick to one side, things go wrong, and we become even more emotionally stressed there's no need for that.

Yea i dont do dice but i have a strict pattern for mines i always follow

Its only because once i started it there was no going back as if i change it to something else and then my original one would have won, for me that would be so tilting and maddening lol. I usually avoid casino cuz losing even a dollar on it makes me so mad

[gracreavix]

Because of what has being taught in school. If this way doesn't work, maybe another will. But they fail to understand that it is not everywhere that can be applied to. They also feel random outcomes have a pattern unaware that it is their emotions doing the talking.

Another thing is that lossing streaks tempt people to actually behave or do such things, abandoning their original strategy. Emotions take over quickly and make you doubt yourself. It's better to have a fixed strategy that have been proven to work over am extensive number of times. And always keep in mind that it is a probability game and nothing more than that.

I believe on the superstitious belief that you should always stick with your initial bets.

For example, the more you change your sides or numbers, the lower the chances of you winning as a whole. This kind of principle also applies on lottery jackpots. The more times you change your numbers per bet, the lower the chance of you winning and hitting that jackpot. While this may be far-fetched and overstretched, I still believe that sticking with your initial bet should be the case.

Exactly! The worst feeling is when you decided to actually change your bets and the casino rolls on the bet you just changed. It really sucks to see and to feel that "what if" feeling. I would rather lose straight than to lose knowing that I could've won that round if I did not change my initial bet.

[Mhizlove]

For me, I will say that Human psychology is influencing alot of these decisions. Because once someone has choose one side, it will be easy to believe that changing it will make the old side to start showing more, even if each rounds don't have any thing to do with the last results or do not depends on the previous outcome. At the end of it all, either you stick or change sides with the other, it does not really change the odds. What really matters most is self discipline and knowing your limits than following your mindset based on luck .

All I do is to go for sports betting, which I know I won't stress my brain that much, as I don't expect anything from it other than fun, and it helps me to keep my emotions in check, as I treat it like a fun game and not a paycheck game unlike the way some people who do otherwise and that is because they expect too much from gambling and this can easily make them addicted, as it will also stop being fun and start chasing losses.
