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.
This has happened many times to me, and I believe it has happened to many gamblers too, because almost all gamblers are always greedy because they want to win big money. What always hurts me most is that if I bet and I cashout some time to avoid risk, sometimes all the selections will come as predicted. This makes me remember a time I was supposed to win like $6k, but because I am scared that the game can will later spoil, I decided to cash out $400, but surprisingly, all the predictions entered, and that was very painful to me i know that opportunity we hardly come again. Sometimes greed is not bad in gambling, but that should not be the case all the time.
It is a normal thing to happen to almost any gambler who bets on sports. They have excessive self-confidence, so they feel that what they analyze will happen and they will win a lot of money. But what happened was they didn't win, and instead they lost. Or they are faced with a situation like the one above where the casino offers to take $200, but he declines because he thinks he can win more money. Greed comes from the hope of winning bigger money when an offer to take the $200 is in front of us. That is a lesson, and we should be able to learn from it. Don't we play gambling just for fun, and if there is such an offer, we should immediately take it. Perhaps we can win more money, but who knows if that will happen. We should look at the reality in front of us and take the money offered.
