Should I gamble more?

[OsaiEmma]

I have been gambling regularly for the past 3 days because I can see that my luck is going very well. I have made a profit of more than $1150 in 3 days. My maximum deposit is $200. Although I have lost in gambling in the past. Recently I can win big in gambling. It seems that I have lost control over myself. I would like your advice. Should I continue gambling now? How long should I take a break?

I understand that it will be difficult for me to stop gambling now because the big wins are pushing me to gamble even bigger. I have already invested all my winnings in a physical asset. However, my weakness towards gambling is increasing. I have been confused about myself since yesterday. I need your good advice. I can't tell my friends about this because I hide my gambling from them.

OP, you just fell for the honey trap. This is one step towards addiction; the goddess of luck might be smiling at you right now, but is it worth it to sell your soul by being an addict just to maximize your luck?

Well, I'm glad you have this self-consciousness to realize that you're going down a rabbit hole; the first part is dealt with now unto the next which is, this is you stepping into the category of a gambling addict. After these realization, what you have to do is step back and try to re-evaluate your stance, control your urge, and be principled in your gambling activities.

One sensible and wise thing you did was to withdraw your initial winnings and invest them. That's truly the act of a reasonable and responsible person, this tells me that you won't easily fall for this honey trap. Anyways, I believe a huge loss will snap you out of it and every delusion that this winning streak will be permanent, but don't wait for that to happen first before changing your mind.

Well luck cannot be forever by your side so it would be a wise choice to withdraw your winnings and keep playing with the initial deposit. This way no matter what it happens it should keep you in profit even if you lose your initial 200 dollars deposit. Personally what I would do when luck is smiling at me I would withdraw my winnings and just buy a single bonus buy in my favorite slot machine and try my luck also in there, who knows may be a max win is right behind the corner.

Sometimes I'm in that position too. What I feel is a dilemma. If I stop, what if my lucky streak is still going? If I keep playing, there's a chance for me to lose what I've already won. In that case, I always choose to stop and enjoy what I've got. IMO, doubts in gambling can be a form of intuition telling you to stop before you go too far. Your doubts may be your mind reminding you of past experiences and your own gambling patterns. In this case, just believe in your doubts

Sometimes you need to stop not just because you could lose the money you've already won, but because the reasons could be broader than that. It could help you avoid habits and behavior changes that might negatively affect your life in the bigger picture.

OP needs a break from gambling without realising it, your conscience is even telling you to quit and you turn a deaf ear,, keep gambling if that's what you want to hear, but don't come on here and start telling us stories that hurts, ok? Since you are not ready to do the needful, upon all your past wins you are struggling to quit for a while, it's slowly turning into a greedy habit.

Gambling favours those who recognise pure luck, they accept it that way and they know when to quit, just because you have been winning so far doesn't mean that a change won't come, you aren't ready to get caught in such storm, that I promise you, because you can lose everything you've made so far.

That’s an awesome suited trip btw on your side bet. That will be a more awesome win if more bet was put on that sider but still it’s a very good experience you’ve got there.

Based on my experience as a fellow Blackjack player. There’s always a time that losing streak will hits us hard regardless how lucky we are on the recent days. I manage to slowly earn 5K profit before within 1 week with just 1000$ bankroll but after a month of playing I lose back all my profit including my bankroll.

Losing streak is inevitable and combined it with our emotion equals guaranteed loss in the end. Take profit slowly while you’re still hot then cooldown when you slowly feeling that you are not progressing anymore.

Exactly, accepting any outcome from gambling helps one to know when to quit or walk away, because the moment one allows their excitement due to winning in a long streak to cloud their judgement, they will later regret it and this is a trap that most gamblers don't take note of it, as they will fall into it until one attempt can wipe out everything they have won so far and if they are not careful and mindful, it will lead them to damage their lives through gambling addiction. So, take a break from gambling whether one is winning or losing, which shows they are in control of their emotions and it will help them to aviod irresponsible gambling.

Blackjack is a nice game, much more based on luck than poker
I like it anyway, but don't play it much
unfortunately the series of defeats happens, if this thing bothers you you could change your card game, obviously i recommend poker, it's much more fun and strategic.

Now you are as emotionally attached to the casino as possible, because casino winnings always make any gambler feel that the online casino is friendly to him. But in fact, this is not true, and do not forget that it was the casino that took your money without any problems up to this point. You even wrote about it yourself. It turns out that now the casino has given you some of your money that you gave to the casino recently. Should we be happy about this? I don't think so. Feel free to stop wasting time and money on it.

Yes, you right. It's not always about the financial aspect of it that we'll be considering, what about the drive, the mindset that you can always win at will, the time wasted and much more. However, hearing about someone getting addicted, this is normally how it start, gratually like this before you know it have exceed  what can be controlled.

Furthermore, one thing that is very important and shouldn't be neglected as a gambler is to always follow your instincts, stick to plans, know when to continue playing and when to step back. However, knowing these as a player will save you so much and even placed you in charge of your game.

The OP has become too comfortable with the winning streak, and keeps playing hoping that luck will keep going but that is actually the biggest trap. Understanding that gambling is not just about winning means the OP also needs to be ready to lose everything. As long as self control stays strong when losing, emotions stay under control, and not becoming too greedy, the possible losses can still be kept to a minimum.

I may not really be a card game guy, I’m more of a sports guy but I do like card games and that’s because it’s a skill based game, people don’t have to rely solely on luck but rather their skills, and the best part of it is that winning in these games depends on how good you are in these games and how best you can predict your opponent’s moves. Plus, if you feel you’re not good enough, you can actually train yourself to be better and that could actually influence your outcomes.

It seems that I have lost control over myself. I would like your advice. Should I continue gambling now? How long should I take a break?

I really appreciate your honesty in admitting to "losing control," I think that's the hardest and most important step. Try to take a break for at least 30 days, if it's only 4 days or a week, your memory is still very biased if you play and win again, 30 days is usually enough to think clearly about entertainment or whether it has become a problem.

I understand that it will be difficult for me to stop gambling now because the big wins are pushing me to gamble even bigger.

Withdrawing all winnings to invest in physical assets is a very good move, many people lose precisely at this point because they "go back to the table".
What happened to you is very normal, Dopamine will continue to increase when you win big, the brain always signals that $200 can become $1500 or more, actually it is not your weakness, that is how gambling works because every win always chases the feeling of winning again. This feeling of confusion will pass on its own, usually at its strongest in the first 2 weeks, after which the urge to play will fade by itself.

I would keep playing as long as my luck was still holding, but the main thing is not to go all in. As soon as the winning streak starts to fade, you can stop. Of course, if you're already feeling worried or asking yourself whether it's time to stop playing, then you probably can. Your winnings are already good. The most important thing is to leave the game in a good mood.

No, it is not difficult to stop gambling, and it is only difficult to stop.
If you put yourself in check by just making a personal decision not to gamble in a day, just to have power over your gambling buzz, because being a gambler doesn't mean you have to gamble every day, even when luck is currently at your side, because no matter your winning, if you lose yourself psychologically, you're just winning funds through gambling you're still loosing technically in two wys (emotionally and soon or later the gambling platform will collect everything you have won).

What i am trying to say is that you prioritize your gambling psychology first in every gaming session, withdraw your wins and walk away. Because excess of anything is not good for anyone, even if it's something that helps the body, once it is in excess, instead of it helping the body, it will harm the body.
