Ever had a winning streak ruined by one emotional decision?

[rachael9385]

Have you ever been on a good run in sports betting, winning one after another, then suddenly made one wrong move that ruined everything?

That one bet you knew you shouldn’t place, but you did anyway because you got greedy, thinking the streak would never end. It’s crazy how emotion can take over so fast, one bad decision and all your profits are gone.

How about you friends, ever had that moment where greed got the best of you?

That's the reason why i don't wait till I make a wrong decision before I take a break, winning streaks are just a result of luck and the reason why I'm saying that is because there's no level of skills that can put you in profit constantly so if you arr lucky enough to win two to three times in a row then it's better to stop because with greed clouding your judgement you would  definitely lose at some point.

I have experienced something like that but not in sports betting but in other types of gambling.
The series of wins I got were all lost because of decisions I took when my emotions were high, and as far as I remember, the emotions that occurred were caused by my failure to get free spins with a large bet amount, so I tried to pursue them without hesitation but the result ended up making everything disappear.
In this case, I learned that in gambling there is no certainty of winning, even if we bet using a large betting amount, still losing is something that is bound to happen and we have to accept that.

Never. I`ve never lost control. But i thought often about it, mostly watching the game. I htought to cashout or to increase bet, but made myself stop and wait the end. It was difficult first months, but later - i just close match window after i made a bet.
PS. I make sometimes bets, that will lost, but it is about a dream - i dream to win odd 100+ with a single bet. But it is small bets, so it doesn`t seriously damage me.

This is the mindset we need before we actually start gambling. Losing control is not what we want because that will just make us anxious and will make us place random bets just to try our luck. This is not the way gambling works most of the times. Yes, sometimes we might even see profits coming out of random bets but that just depends on our luck and luck will never favour us in long term. We should learn how to control ourselves when it comes to gambling.

Gambling can make us earn decent profits but we should not ignore the fact that it has ruined lives of many people who were victim to rigorous gambling.

The moment we learn that loses are like the natural outcome of gambling, the more peaceful gamblers we become because by then, we will really decide if gambling is something we wanna do or we should really forget about it and focus on our real jobs where we make consistent money from and also more reliably..

I learnt to treat gambling differently during the 2022 world cup after I lost my entire life savings of about $3k on a single match due to over confidence, that day I realized truly that gambling is not something or an activity we can really hope and that the best way to gamble is doing it for fun and not for monetary gains, because there is a very high chance of ending very disappointed when we gamble solely for the profit.

This often happens in gambling, especially when we win consecutive bets, people automatically wake up in our minds and it seems like this win may never end and thus we keep betting in a row. Is it a kind of greed and emotion that cannot stop us from betting? I have been in such situations many times but I have not followed anyone's inspiration or suggestion in gambling. I have lost control many times and made my balance zero.

Lol, just a wrong move is all it takes to ruin everything that you have been building, I'm sure most of us have gone through such experiences before especially as beginners..I remember when was still new to casino games, i would have a good run for a few days and start to think that I'm invincible, after a while I end up losing everything just because I got too comfortable and relaxed with idea of making profit.

One wrong move can make you lose everything that you have built in gambling and this should be to those that don't have plans when they gamble. I don't mean you have to have an unimaginable plans but something that will guide you so that you don't make choice that will hinder you from growing as gambler earning through different means and it shouldn't be gambling alone so that don't lead to addiction.
There is a time to lose when you will be thinking of what's wrong with you and their is time when you will be happy to gamble due to the money you are making that is making you very confident to win more.

When I win two or more times in succession, it feels like fortune favors me indeed. At such times, that’s what my mind always comes up with, ‘Why not just risk it all?’ Letting all my previous bet winnings ride on the next bet. There’s great excitement in so doing, a convergence of elation and valor with the tiniest trace of lunacy. That’s when the adrenaline really kicks in because either of the moves could double a huge win or else wipe it all away in one fell swoop.

But I mean that’s actually what gives gambling life. That instance when all sensible calculations seem to vanish and in their place the sense that fortune will keep on favoring me. It works sometimes, but very often ends in a feeling of regret. Yet, it’s that moment which makes it so hard for so many gamblers to end, for the ‘maybe this time, it will work’ feeling is always too strong to shake off.

I think everyone experiences this. I have had similar experiences in the past; the only difference is my bets are consistent and fixed. When I get the winning streak, then the wrong mistake is due to greediness or chasing a big target. It makes my bet 3x-5x higher than previous bets, and the terrible happens—I lose until the whole winnings are gone, including my capital.

If I didn't change my bets, I think I would lose only just a small amount and still have some winnings that I could bring home.

Actually, I have some regrets about having this before because my capital is a little bit high. I was expecting to make it double, but the result is against my will.

You shouldn’t be carried away when you are gambling, just because you are winning frequently doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think about loss, if you are gambling and winning without thinking about loss, you will be carried away, which you won’t even know when you are suppose to stop gambling. I do tell people that even when they are winning if they are gambling, at some point they are suppose to stop gambling because the tune changes.

[coolcoinz]

Yes, of course I had that. I usually get scared and take my money early when playing parlay, so I guess that can qualify as an emotional decision that ruins my win.

But on the other hand is the winning streak really ruined when you're getting some money out of it?

My friend had a large amount of money on the table at a casino and he got scared and folded, but he actually had the highest card. You never know!

I don't know about others but I can tell it that I have encountered this experience where I looses bets with just one game on several occasions.
Although I would not call it a wrong decision rather than an unlucky decision because, if I knew it was a wrong decision, I would not pick it but as much as I know, whatever decisions we takes will be decided by the games outcomes which only luck can bring us the wins.

Most at times it feels regretting why the unlucky game was even picked in the first place but the truth is that we never saw it coming.

Oh the days of greed! i remember staking consecutive single bets and i was winning back to back till i ruined everything by staking the whole winning amount. I was literally using the profits from every single bet i won to stake for the next bet and it was working perfectly well not until i became greedy, instead of me to continue with using the profits to gamble, i entered into using all the whole amount to stake a single bet that i was all sure that am gonna win but in the end, everything was ruined and i blamed myself for being greedy and not making a withdrawal after winning many bets.

When you're on a winning streak it is very easy to become overconfident, and that over confidence as an emotion has a very high chance of ruining your chances of continuous success. This is why there's a caution to every gambler that you should be even more careful when you start winning in gambling then when you lose because winning a couple of times can breed over confidence that would lead to a huge loss. Over confidence is one of the emotions gamblers are advised against as it can ruin things just like fear and greed.

As long as you’re involved in a game like this, even if it is a gambling game, greed will always come. This also goes beyonds gambling only, because even in crypto trading, we tend to make such decisions that makes us sabotage our efforts because we get totally confident along the line that we will always win and not lose as long as that streak is concerned.

Gambling is a game of luck, so when you’re winning, take the profit of what you’ve won and not wait till you gather them all because circumstances can lead to losing them all. For every time a wrong decision is made, a lesson is suppose to be learnt and if you don’t apply it the next time, you’ll attain more losses than before, so we should always learn from our mistakes and adjust.

Overconfidence and greed are the major emotional enemies a gambler must learn to avoid when having a winning streak, because am sure losses makes us frown and not as confident when it begins to count.
Gamblers that know when to cash out and quit for the day very well know how to avoid the pitfalls of overconfidence and greed when they feel too engrossed with their wins and try to double it for bigger wins.

[Raflesia]

Clearly I've experienced this situation and I suspect almost every gambler has probably experienced it at least once in their current gambling experience.
I've experienced this situation several times where my foolish actions sometimes ended up destroying the momentum of a good bet.

Some things that consistently cause problems for me include being late in making decisions, or overconfident when hype builds which leads to situations that don't turn out as I expected. This situation is truly annoying but it's difficult to avoid so I'm pretty sure some of us have experienced this although in certain situations some may experience it frequently while others only experience it a few times.

[icebar]

How about you friends, ever had that moment where greed got the best of you?

In my case, I was very excited after a few wins in gambling and at one point I lost all my winnings hoping for more. If you cannot control yourself in gambling, then it does not take long to lose any winnings. I reviewed that I lost my big winnings due to low return.

The return on a bet was very small. When I lost on that bet, that loss hurt me a lot because I was too busy trying to recover that small loss. I realized that greed was what hurt me the most.

[Ultegra134]

Clearly, you can't be winning forever, winning (and even losing) streaks are meant to be broken. It's inevitable, it'll happen sooner or later. However, there are cases I wish I hadn't, and it was because I didn't stop when I had to. Winning three, four, or more matches in a row isn't easy, and more often than not, it's best to know when is the right time to stop. In such cases, greediness and overconfidence is disastrous, as we're thinking that we'll win one more, and then another, till we eventually end up in a wall and regret our previous decisions.

No that does not make sense to me. If I knew in the moment that it was a bad bet that I should not place, I would not do it. Emotions can not overcome real knowledge, some people confuse basic knowledge for real knowledge. I think you are confusing hindsight bias with knowledge at the moment. You probably placed the bet because you wanted to more but you still considered it a good bet.

How about you friends, ever had that moment where greed got the best of you?

Not really, my friends don't do addictive betting. They do get emotional about games even if they don't bet on them, but they don't do errors like you have presented them here.

Being late to make decisions? Are you doing live betting or what are you talking about? When I get greedy I place more bets for fun with $1, never can this lead to my ruin no matter the amount of mistakes I make.
