I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.
A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.
In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.
What are your thoughts?
Gambling with high expectations is not advisable the game is supposed to be for entertainment and not to get your hopes high on getting money to solve your problems. Anytime I gamble with the mindset of planning to use my wins for something it always ends up going sideways. You can never control the outcome all you have to do is gamble responsibly and don't think about an amount of money that is not in your possession
There are some important bets we do have high expectations on and most time we end up losing the bets not dye to luck but the kind of the expectation and money that was involved could have made us to preferably lose some of these bets. I have been a victim before and I've lost so many bets even more because I was so curious and confident of winning such a bet but ended up losing big with my friends because I was not calm watching what the outcome would look like. I have really learnt how to stay calm even when we are so sure if the outcome of a particular bet. It is good we are always careful to watch how the game would play rather then making a lot of noises.
Such expectations should not be kept in mind when gambling. And it is not the expectation that made you lose the bet, perhaps you were carried away by the mindset that you have made the right pick and prediction. You must have heard a lot of persons supporting the predictions and you think since the majority are in syn with this prediction then it is the right one.
Once we start thinking in such ways and not paying attention to what we think and convictions in our bet then we are bound to lose if luck is not on our side. Sometimes we need to have good expectations, but we shouldn't let it cloud our reasoning and selection when we are gambling if not we may end up choosing the wrong picks and odds.
