This is like adding salt to an injury, I don’t like having that optimistic energy after making a bet because if anything happens and I lost the bet I’ll feel more sad than when I just place my bet and expect the least from it.

If you check those gamblers who tend to think about their bet after they lost it, you’ll notice that it is mostly those who were having high hopes for their bets think NY that something good would come out from it or that their prediction is flawless and since they are confident they can place whatever amount they feel is good and won’t lose it because of their confidence in the bet. Those gamblers usually break down after losing their bets.

I actually haven’t experienced this before, I am just like you - after winning whether huge or not I tend to sleep normally, there’s nothing that usually keeps me awake like the Op described it.

The only time I believe I would be awake and unable to sleep is if I manage to hit a jackpot that amount to a very huge sum, but for regular bets nah! I don’t think I’ll ever get insomnia from it. Normally, if you get a win that amount to something you’ve never seen before it should keep you think and that can cause insomnia or lack of sleep as well know it - that’s just the only scenario I can think of where winning can make you unable to sleep.

I don’t even feel hyped up when I see an old althlete coming back to the pitch to play - sometimes if you engage in discussion with your fellow fans you’ll see that they too are of the same opinion that the player won’t do as much as people are hyping them up for.

To me, I would rather bank on a player who’s doing well then to place my hope on an old player, if they had good form I can still consider them but those who haven’t played for a long time but them just pop out of nowhere that they want to play or that they’ll be playing are definitely not going to be among my top pick.

I really don’t understand your post completely, sorry but can you clarify what you mean by this “stake keep increasing?” Do you mean like a parlay when the gambler has won some of the bets already and just has a few left to go but then he loses the game? Is that what you’re referring to? Or do you mean as the gambler keeps betting the tendency for him to increase the amount he bets would increase as well? Is that what you’re referring to?

Because the idea of someone not having an amount that they can afford to lose isn’t entirely accurate. But I think I’ll wait for your response before I can properly contribute to the discussion.

If the outcome of matches were certain, I don’t think bookies would still be in business today - lots of them would have shutdown businesses since. It’s because of this uncertainty that makes it fun and exciting. Just imagine a scenario where it becomes a norm for favorite teams to always beating underdogs without there ever being an upset, it won’t be as exciting as when you get a result that’s totally different from what everyone had expected.

Well, if we’re being honest I think a lot of people got into certain careers not because of passion but because they want to better their livelihood and so if in the long run they decide that they want to keep chasing after money then we shouldn’t blame them because that was their initial goal and to achieve they had to be good at their craft which then made it look as if it was all about passion.

So as long as they don’t ruin their performance after getting the money I don’t think there’s anything wrong in it - the player you used as an example could have multiple reason alongside the money chasing but even if it’s just the money that made them want to transfer to a different team then let them go, it’s their career and I don’t think it’s okay for people to decide what they should or shouldn’t do.

The title you recommended to the OP doesn't even make much sense when compared to what the Op used... There are professional gamblers. In case you don't know, it might come as a surprise to you, but some people actually take gambling as their source of income and don't just go there for the sake of having fun.

For professionals, they spend time devising strategies and methods on how to gain an edge over the house. Have you ever sat and wondered how those strategies in gambling came about? Do you think someone who just wants to gamble or have fun would spend their time devising such a complicated strategy? It is usually the professionals who come up with those strategies (not all of them though).

I remember a reply I got for one of my posts here and the user stated that there is nothing like infinite money, if you gamble and don’t gamble with sense that money that you think is very big and would probably last you for a life time will soon be blown away and you’d be shocked.

so whether poor or rich, they are both risking their money as long as it’s gambling that they are gambling - it’s true that their risk tolerance has a significant difference between them but still a risk is a risk - if a wealthy individual decides to make their game more fun by increasing the risk more than they can handle then it will only be a matter of time before they run out of money.

And what exactly is the reason behind you saying that they shouldn’t gamble? Because of addiction? What about if we start preaching about them learning about proper gambling habits that would help them avoid addiction instead of preaching total abstinence from gambling, I am sure that you gamble and probably not addicted to it, if you could do it why then do you think a rich person or someone who has money but not too much won be able to gamble without becoming addicted to gambling?

I have said it before that it has gotten to the point where people are now linking the word “gambling” to addiction the moment it is mentioned and that will only keep it from gaining more bad reputation.

This is a solid strategy, and if you're good, you should be able to win more than you lose, which should keep you at a profit margin.

As for me, I don't usually have a set strategy like you. I tend to stake different amounts on different games, and the amount I bet usually depends on how confident I am in my prediction or the teams involved. If I’m betting on an underdog, my stakes are usually lower compared to when I’m betting on a favorite.

I think you should make it a habit to not always place big bets or use an amount that will have an impact on your emotions. No matter how confident you are in a game or how sure you are about a prediction, always make sure you bet an amount that isn't more than your power...

I believe this type of behavior would even make you want to start chasing after losses - that thought of wanting to recover that money you lost during your previous gambling session would find its way to your mind as long as the amount was able to make you sad or was able to affect your emotions.

Aside from sports betting, which obviously is the most reliable since it allows one to make use of their skills, for casino games I think my safest would be "spin match." I haven't seen it in any casino aside from one local casino that I usually make use of and this is the reason why that casino is my most used, unless I want to bet on a sport match...

I have been able to win 10x easily on that game more times than I have won in any other casino game. One thing I like about the game is that with proper calculation and some luck you should be able to win decent amount of money but the disadvantage with this game is the maximum odds that you can win; the highest you can win is 54x and nothing more than that, unlike in other casino games where the odds goes higher than 100.

No matter how high my stake may be I always make sure that it doesn’t cross a threshold that I cannot afford to lose; so as long as I’m betting with an amount that I can afford to lose quickly then it makes everything very easy for me.

I don’t think about my losses unless it is a game that was really interesting and I placed a bet on that’s when I’ll keep recalling it, not only because I lost my bet but also because of the entire game play.

Since I started gambling I don’t think I have ever placed a single bet that is up to $50, no matter the amount in my gambling account the highest I have always maintained is around $2 - $10 and anything above that will definitely have an impact on how well I’ll be able to handle the loss but within that range it would be a walk in the park for me.

Mhen! I’ve been searching for an interesting game to bet on, but I haven’t been able to find any—it looks like the FIFA Club World Cup just ended and took all the fun away. It got to the point where I was thinking of going for F1 racing, which I don’t know anything about. But since it’s taking place on the 27th, I should have enough time to at least learn about the competitors and use their previous stats to make my prediction. This is the reason why taking interest in multi sports is better than just focusing only on a single sport.

I actually can’t wait for next month, I’m already getting excited just thinking about it.

I actually had this discussion about free bet odds in altcoinstalks and I came to realize that betting on small odds or trying to play safe with free bet is nothing if hit a waste - this is one of the free opportunities you have to take that risky bet - the one you think will work but others don’t believe in it this is the time to take it because even if you end up being wrong you won’t feel too much regret towards it because it was never your money in the first place, unlike when you bet on a risky game with your hard earn money and it turned out to be wrong.

After reconsidering this whole thing, I think people who are extremely good at playing flappy bird might be able to make a decent amount from this game - the clip I saw looked pretty much like what flappy bird game play looks like just that you’re just trying to hit multipliers and avoid crashing into rocks and with a good reaction time, one should be able to keep the plane flying for long with decent multipliers until the boat arrives.

This is going to work, unless the casino decides to be a cheat and bring out more rocks or makes it impossible for you to navigate around but if the difficulty if decent and not extremely hard then you should be able to play it regardless of when the boat comes out.

Check reputation board or go through the Ann threads of casinos here and come back if you’ll still have this idea of gamblers not having interest in fairness of games or not.

As long as they are depositing money and losing it to the casino they are definitely going to question if the casino is really playing fair or if they are being cheated - take for example you spin 200 times and don’t win a single one, you’d definitely be curious and start checking them (for those who are provably fair) to see if any of them were rigged.

The ones I saw were probably ads because they all landed on the boat and the win was really massive, I have never played it and I don’t even know how it works I think I saw the clips on TikTok or instagram and the caption was “a young boy retired his parent by just landing a plane” and then the video comes up.

If it had the option to cash out at any point I like then I would have tried it out but waiting for the casino to bring the boat whenever they like just makes it more difficult for me to bet on it- what if they decide to bring it immediately after I experience massive amounts of rocks which reduce my wins to zero or below my initial bet? For now this is not something I can bet on - I’ll probably just stick with the normal crash I know.

Gambling, as we're preaching it to be, is actually different from what it is; the moment the word "gambling" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to our mind is financial ruin, and that isn't what gambling was initially created for and I think with time people won't even see it as a form of entertainment again and this is why people now see the need to treat it as something that looks like an unlawful practice in the country meanwhile it's not...

I have never been a fan of religion being used as the basis of making a law, preach to your followers let them know what is good and what is not good and let those who doesn't believe in your preaching leave the way they want until they finally see the truth in your teaching and your making it into a law in the country is no different from saying "let us kill them for not worshipping our god".

From previous responses here I don’t think polymarket has this kind of bet, and I’m actually very surprised to see that they don’t have it - from the type of bets that are being made there one would think that something like this would be a walk in the park for them but surprisingly they happen to not have it.

I don’t know how the Op plans on making this sort of prediction but it sounds pretty interesting and judging from the difficulty in making predictions I think it will come along with some decent odds and also those with some inside information might be able to make some predictions before the news comes out.
