Does It Happen to You to Spend the Prize in Your Imagination Before Betting?

It happens to me sometimes. Instead of waiting for the game to finish, I catch myself already planning what I’ll buy or do with the money… but then, I don’t win! 😅 Is it just me being too hopeful, or do you do this too?

You're not alone on this; I sometimes do this as visualization and hoping that you win so you can materialize what you hoped to do with your winnings; there is nothing to do with it, as long as you are not getting disappointed if the outcome is not in your favor.
As gamblers, we should be hopeful but, of course, realistic and accepting of the outcome.

The reason I do this sometimes is due to the fact that sometimes what we visualize can manifest. Except this, most  of the times I imagine myself winning and things the money will be used for, I have this self fulfilment, inner joy and the hope of winning.

To me, this feeling is a good feeling because at that point, the gambler is only concerned about what he stands to gain and not the implication of losing the stake. However, this imagination needs to be guided so that the gambler can face reality and maintain gambling discipline.

Not exactly the same thing, but sometimes I do dream of winning some big money and spending it somewhere. I remember I dreamt of buying a high-end PC and a car because my gambling gave me a 100x return or something similar, and I was disappointed after I woke up. I dunno what's the reason for dreaming like that though? I don't recall betting so heavily that my head gets messed up with irrational goals.
