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.
Yes and it is a fact that all gamblers will also experience the same thing in gambling problems, as you said greed always leads to something worse, it is very real and everyone has it in themselves, so it is natural for anyone who is excessive in gambling or has high hopes then obviously they will lose more than what they imagine. It seems like you feel that you've wasted the opportunity for that big win, obviously it must be painful because we should have won bigger but instead we won far from what we expected. But on the other hand you must realize that you are gambling, and you also probably know that absolutely no one can predict how the final result will be, just like your case. So in my opinion it doesn't matter, just be grateful for whatever you get there, it's better for you to profit even a little than you lose again like before.
I say, use the money you can afford to lose, never expect to multiply it because the final result cannot always be what we want. If at that time you put a big bet then when you lose I'm sure you will be very emotional, so it's better to prevent it. True, sometimes greed is not bad but you also have to think about the risks if you lose.
As they say, greed is the source of all evil. I suppose its the cause of dangerous gambling choices, then.
Making wise decisions at the table requires being able to identify greed and control it. Yes, all gamblers experience that painful sense of what could have been, of a chance lost. Gambling, yet, isnt that what it is? a random succession of events that are sure to include both highs and lows.
You made the important point that you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Emotions must also be managed in addition to finances. Remain realistic; after all, its just a game. Less is sometimes more, too. a minor triumph? Gratify it. A loss? Take anything away from it. Because keeping your sanity intact is ultimately the true gambling victory.
