As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.

Oh man, that thing happens with all gamblers because the greed is a very powerful emotions that make us to suffer a lot in life. Most of the gamblers does the same thing when they fall into the trap of the greed because their logical mind will stop functioning when it falls into the control of the greed. If you had control over your greed then you would never lose anything at all.

The thing that prevented me from winning big was also greed because that emotions is very powerful that having control over it mostly in gambling is close to impossible. I also made many mistakes in gambling due to my greed, and some of those mistakes caused me huge losses as a result.
