Title: does nearmises boost your interest to gamble more?
Post by: SmartGold01 on March 21, 2025, 07:02:07 PM
I would want to know how you feels whenever you are gambling (I mean bet) and you had about 6-8 legs of bet and it happens that the last match cut off your slip. Would you place additional game that same moment your game cut off or you would want to distance to the gambling site maybe whenever you have the right mindset to gamble you continue gambling again?

Let's discuss to have different overview on how people gamble.

This topic has already been existing in other forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5535751.msg65187450#msg65187450) which I would also want to hear from people around here to know their different opinions regarding this

Can a near win boost my interest to gamble more? Yes, it can, but should it? No, it shouldn't. This is because at the point where you discover you almost won, there are a lot of emotions, and trying to gamble more almost immediately because you almost won is a wrong choice; it is you making decisions based on emotions.

If, as a gambler, you are deciding to gamble again, it should not be because you almost won before, but for entertainment as expected.

Winning, losing, or even a near win, theses are all emotions you are expected to quickly shake off.

As much as I hate to say this, I would say yes that near misses makes me wanted to play more because I was given this opportunity and maybe the next time I will win.

So it's very difficult to have this feeling of near misses, as it really f**k up your mind in thinking that you have control of the game. But on the contrary, it's not, it's the other way around, the game controls you but it's hard to get out because you are trap.

When a gambler believes that success is on the horizon, it is natural to want to keep pushing. This feeling is extremely dangerous because it causes the gambler to gamble uncontrollably and to avoid missing any gambling session because missing a session is equivalent to delaying a winning that is already on its way.

This feeling is different for a gambler without nearmises. It is easier for a gambler to give up when he does not see any winnings, but most gamblers fail to realize that a gambler without nearmises can win big, whereas a gambler who has been experiencing nearmises may not win for a long time.

what happens when in the next round he is even farther to the win than when he started? will the gambler be discouraged or still keep going? i believe most people will still keep going anyway and try to get back that feeling of being so close to the win

This scenario is what makes a gambler chase loses because we might think luck is just an inch from our bets that is why we are going to want some more try until we missed again and did it over and over again until our funds ran out. I personally experienced this and I know it's not just me because probably some other gamblers do this as well.

It's better to stay away from gambling at that moment and talk a walk so that you will be able to control whatever emotions that you are feeling at that moment. We know that parlay matches are not played at the same time, so it will be waste of time to start placing a new bet without making any propee analysis.

Each time we feels disappointed from playing a bet, we may go reluctant to continue with gambling because the mood for that day has already been distorted, then we may not know what to do, but before you could recognized it, they have been found gambling again maybe with the mindset of recovering from the previous loss or trying to get over it by playing more for fun, which I see as what makes the fun we have increases except we are gambling to earn for money.

I always try to bet again if out of 6-8 games of my bets, what denied me the winning was one or two games. That can be presumed that I am trying in my best way to make correct predictions, just that luck is not yet on my side to have a win. Win will happen someday when I am less to expect it. By the way, I am betting with little money

Most people do not know the difference between gambling and betting. Gambling is used for casinos while betting is used for bookies. This thread is about bookies.

The worst bet you can make is when you lose and continue to bet. It will only drain the coins or money on bettor's wallet or bank account.

This is like connected to chasing after your losses. I've had those moments before but I did it mostly because my previous bets were only in small amounts. Of course it made me more interested but not enough to be betting more while thinking I could be lucky next time.

Lot of gamblers are easily carried away by nearmises because of the possibilities that would win and this are the point where people keeps losing without them having a total control of themselves, since they were thinking of they continue gambling the chances are there for them.

Well maybe it is clearly because everyone of us has this belief of "what if my next bet will be lucky?" That is what makes us gamblers suffer more losses and sometimes we even find ways to double it so we can get much more from our losses but not everyday is our Birthday so yeah end up nothing but more loss.

That should be a personal decision and as for me I normally distance my self when such happened. But if I placed another game before the first game (leg) cut, I would be sad but still waiting to see the result of the second bet. But that is not all the times, there are times near win motivate to play another bet again by the thinking that I will win this time.

Near-misses create anger in the casino hall and people use to hit the cashier table in such case.

Doubling our bet is the worst thing to do right away if we know that we gamble we won't win so what then do we go double our bet with the hope we would win again? I think that is a very wrong thing to do because we know that even in our next bet we aren't sure if we gonna win or not, but what matters is how we can control ourselves the first time than having to go double our bet, though there are people who keeps doubling their bet trying out the martingale theory but most things this doesn't work sport bet maybe we can say it works for other form of gambling but sports betting.

Well it all depends on the individual involved because one thing that I have seen is that there are people who will not stop gambling no matter the kind of loses that they experience this is because they have been used to loses so there is no amount of lose that will deter them from gambling even if it's the last game that cut the slip , infact it will even make them to gamble the more but that's not the case for those who are new to gambling they will run away or get discouraged when they experience such a thing

right, when we are almost close to winning and lose it will make us more curious and continue to try without realizing that we have lost a lot of money, you are right there are many people who do that including me, but over time I have reduced that habit because it has a big impact on finances where I will not be able to play again if I have experienced a big defeat

I know we have lost money but still we were close to winning and that gives us more confidence that the next match might be a winning one and that happens sometimes. It's really sometimes our luck that make us lose those winning matches.

Sometimes we have to be close to what we are doing like, if we don't have proper information and how to utilized them. That is why its important to also hear from others and get more news or information from people to gamble with, especially we that love sports betting and most of the things needs is information to work effectively and this could also determined how your outcome could be.
