Im soooo stupid

[spin2win]

If I win a lot I personally cash like 75% of it out as soon as I notice that I lose more and more of my winnings. I stop playing then until the next day and do something else

Been there, done that...
From this year, Let 's see:
1) $3700 win->reverse->lost @redflsuh
2) $3000 win->reverse->lost @dash
3) $7900 win->reverse->lost @royalvegas
4) $1000 win->reverse->lost @32red 3 times
5) $900 win->reverse->lost @redflsuh
etc etc...

still with nice profits from MG.
1) $700 win->reverse->win bigger @royalvegas up-to 16K in 3 hours.
2) $1200 win->reverse->win bigger @dash up-to 4200 in 20 mins.

You have to ask yourself why you reverse.
I chase bigger wins if I feel it. After reverse, my bets normally go up 5 times.

YES! You are not alone.

Early on in my online experience I had an amazing run and withdrew 20K all from one game (3 card poker). Next day I thought this game was great, and tried to get a similar run in a sister casino.

Back went that 20K

What an IDIOT you are, I told myself, for not stopping after the first 4K disappeared during what was clearly a "cold" game, leaving myself a tidy 16K up over the weekend. I should have split the 16K between a number of casinos, taken as many boni as I could along the way, hoping that I would stumble upon another "hot" game or casino.

I always flush my withdrawals. The problem with me is that as soon as the money hit moneybookers i deposit in a not so healthy manner lol. Sometimes its good sometimes is bad.

Worst thing is to have a Big win and not have anything to show for it, that is why i buy blu-ray movies or give my girlfriend money to shop.

Makes her happy and in the end i have got atleast something to show for it.

On my next big win, if it ever comes i will buy a big ass TV.

Because i dont like that feeling; tonight i blew what could have bought me a new TV.

That makes me sick.

I've found something very interesting to manage this kind of bad behaviours. Maybe for someone sounds like strange or crazy, on the contrary is a really good tecnique, valid also in other life fields.
I think I'll post it ,so one can decide by itself to learn and use it, or not.
I only don't know the right discussion to put it.So gimme some suggest

thanks

Here seems as good a place as any Temperance Fox.

Or if you wanted to start a new thread, maybe do so in The Attic and post a link to that thread here.

Thanks for anwering, Jasminebed.

I think this is a good place, cause the OP talks about the frustration coming from some behaviours we have.This kind of bad behaviour make us to feel bad sensations, after we have fallen...this may happens in various our life aspects
But we are here cause we love to play and love win.Don't like to waste money coming from Luck, but it happens :we do it and then feel very bad (sxxt) . Don't think that those who have great self control are better.(Maybe they also have problems like avarice of feelings, or they're too suspicious....game is always a mirror)

As already written before by some "essay" members it takes rules to stop when you're winning, cause it seems you're god and money looses value. Or you must be very cold and rational not to reverse. Some players do it , some other aren't able or they fall many times.
I think there's a deeper reason for this different way to manage. Those keeping money and go away aren't smarter than others. Maybe a wrong way to manage money coming from winnings it's not only a wrong behaviour reffering in that istant.

So the first question is :why?
For sure you cannot answer "I feel like wasting my money".So we have to go ahead, and try to listen that little voice who tell us the real reason.Maybe it sounds stupid, maybe we shame to admit , but this is the first step to do.

Let's take some example not gaming-related

Men having more and more sentimental/sexual stories.Are they really satisfied? Are they to admire? Yes, apparently.But if one of them look deeply into himself (it's not so usual!)...and ask "why?" he founds that he has a lot of girls because is an unsure, has a very low self-esteem.And he needs to proove his power in that way. The second step is another why.....from where it comes?

Women like shopping (I don't ).Many like it too much. Why??? Is the real reason to have new dresses , shoes or bags???? No, they have empty inside , so they try to fill it in that way. The second step is why?....... what do I really miss?

So, coming again into related game problems, we must find the real reason of a wrong behaviour.

Example:
I win 1000 usd, I could stop, but go on.
First step :why?
I want more. Why?
...and so on , keeping on with answers like chinese boxes, just to find the real core


Any volunteer?

Of course doesn't stop here.When you found what I mean, there's a really simple tecnique to proove, free of charges , very simple.Just to try and see.

Note.I don't wanna be a master of anyone, but I'd like if someone is interested improving itself
