Mostly, here I hear about how dangerous loss is, it ends many lives and can put someone in big trouble. This is a clear issue, and people are protecting themselves from it. However, there is another thing that can also ruin one's life, and that is winning. Winning is the sweet and a pleasurable trap where you can stuck your life happily without knowing that it engulfs you until it comes to an end.
When you win, you think that you know gambling better and assume that luck is on your side, which leads you to jump into a big risky bet. You start losing, and at that stage, you change your mind to recover the money that you lost and start chasing it, falling into the trap. All your winnings and original money are gone, leaving only regret and sadness on your side.
The purpose of making this thread is to share your experiences with others about how you lost and fell into this hidden and unknown trap. The second piece of advice is that whenever you win, keep that money and leave for the day before you lose all your money.
You are definitely right in some context and when we try to look at what you said from some special angle, winning can not be that harmful unless it get loses involved, so in the end, it still all boils down to loses, loses is the chief orchestrator of a sad life filled with regret and depression.
So let me just say that aside maybe being over joyed and getting oneself hurt or getting into some kind of trouble, I really do not see how winning can ruin a person through gambling, no body gambles to lose money, we all gamble to win, and it is expected that when we win, no matter the amount of money involved, we should make good use of the opportunity, when a gambler is opportuned to win but ends up not making good use of it, we cant say that winning destroys him or ruined his life, the gambler himself ruined himself by not being sensible well enough to make good use of the opportunity he was given.
