Re: Gambling Distortion Pattern

<..>
In fact this is something that novices can experience more frequently, I include myself there only when I was a novice, I had experiences as it appears on the chart, however now we as players who have a little more experience and know myself can say that things can happen like this but not with that behavior, sometimes we can stop the losses only with decisions that can make the difference between one play and another, perhaps because we already see the game as one more way to have fun and not to make money , since when we don't see it to make money, unwanted emotions enter, fear, stress, pressure and that makes us lose faster

isn't it interesting how expactations plays a role on relaxation during the experience?
if you have more expectations (wanting a particular outcome) it can make you more tense/less relaxed or more fearful, therefore more prone to mess up due to these emotional or thought conflicts

You are right.One time I was expecting to win the same amount of money as to buy a Mercedes CLS (what a f*cking idiot I was to think that) and once I started I was really relaxed calm,even happy as I was expecting to hit the maximum payline of my beloved slot machine at a certain bet most likely at 3 dollars for a bet.It started well it gave me the bonus round a couple of times and I increased the balance nicely only to lose it by continue playing as I thought the slot machine will keep giving me money (naive expectation) while in fact it took it all away and I become mad,tense and even nervous when talking to people.I do not do this anymore thank God.

good point
in the end it's better to approach the world without expectations if possible
of course it's not the easiest thing, but it's possible.

in gambling it's hard to predict the outcome, betting in the hope of winning a lot and to keep betting with this belief is a recipe for disaster

That's right, and that lends itself to many interpretations, because I know people who say that you shouldn't be negative and it's not that it's negative, but rather that you have to evaluate the possible scenarios where that is going to be the case, it's more feasible than when one enters a casino that one can lose than win, that is something that is obvious, but there are many people who enter with the hope and make it in their head that they are going to multiply their money, and maybe if they enter like this and do so It is something that went well for them, but it is not a guarantee that it can happen again, so it is better to be somewhat more realistic, keep in mind that one must have the money willing to lose and not delude oneself with false hopes/gains.
