What is 'Greed'?

[allisonn]

I've seen lots of players advise themselves and others to not be 'greedy' when gambling.

But what is greed really? Purely wanting to win money from nowhere? Isn't playing games of chance in a casino already an act of greed then?

When someone busts out, their first instinct is usually to bemoan their own 'greed'. Yet when someone wins big, no one ever tells him that he was too greedy. Perhaps greed can only be ascribed to losers?

Wanting to win more and more money? Isn't that just normal from playing in a casino, why play at all if you aren't looking to win? From my own observations, I feel like people lose the most money trying to recover what they have already lost, in a sort of risk-adverseness gone wrong. Surely that's not greed, or at least, the emotion they are experiencing when making those bets can't be defined as greed in any way.

Tell me, what do you think is greed?

Greed is a sense which appears when a guy wins a lot and still wants to push his luck with bigger bets, at least it is in tje gambling community, I guess, of greed woild be wiped out of existence earth would be a better place.

I think that greed is the nature of feeling lacking and always feeling lacking in owning something ... in gambling, greed dominates every gambler ... because they feel they still haven't won enough bets ... still want to get more money ... and thirst for victory is what is meant by greed in my personal opinion

Interesting. From this time on when someone shares a link in the chat with bet ID showing huge win I'm gonna tell them "you greedy bastard congratulations for being such greedy because of your greed you just won so much money" hahaha  but seriously when we win it's because of greed too

[sheenazbay]

gambling is a fortune. You can win and lose depending on the luck of each gambler, sometimes greedy makes you get a lot of profit when you are lucky and sometimes it makes you broken

i dont greed is only amount money mate 
greed for me atleast is just to win more or get more or whatever 
for example when i was a kid i would fight with my brother for something i wouldnt even want 
i would fight with him just to have more of it or have it 
like you know sometimes we would fight for food we dont even like or if we do like our father would buy some much of those foods that we cant even eat 
but we would fight over more that we wont eat just to have more then the other one 
we would fight for everything like other example is the fireworks 
parents would buy lots we would fight who to light up more before even its dark outside 
we both get half in the end and we both lose interest in them after lighting up 2 of them xDD 
for me greed is to have more of something even if u dont need it xd

I think when you play gambling and before start you set a goal like you decide after winning 100 USD you stop game and after some time rest play again but when you win 100 USD you not stop game and think win some more this is I think greed

I think Greed would be in the situation where one loses control of themselves and begin to lose sight of what is really important to them , in the case of gambling trying to continue risking for a never ending profit while already at a situation where most people would be envious only ending up to lose it all back.

Greed destroys everything in its path.  

Greed is another factor that undermines peace.

Because it was her who created Greed.

greed does lead to a variety of peculiarities even in real life, greed arises from oneself, humans who cannot control their greediness, then that greediness will rule themselves. in gambling, greed is the main killer of a gambler

Greed is Good and Sometime's Greed is Bad that's how I play greedy when I feel I'm lucky 
bet huge amount on high payout like Plinko 1000x I was greedy I bet 0.002 btc and my balance 
is only 0.01 btc then I hit 130x and I win. So " Greed is Good"

When you keep on gambling even tho your ahead of the site and should definitely cashout but you decide not to and if you lose a bet you double down the next one and thats how you rip your bankroll .

Greed to me is not being content with any level of win, never being satisfied regardless of the amount, and always wanting more.

Even though these characteristics are generic of players at casinos, there’s a big difference between a gambler who has a plan and another who doesn’t. 

Both want to win, are innately greedy and pretty much share the same traits.

However, the one that has a plan going in will do better most of the time as he understands what goes up will eventually come down and vice versa since extreme states don’t last.

Yeah people most of the time lost their money while they try to recover. And it happens with me too. But greed cause the bust. After reaching my limit/target I think I can win more and become gredy to recover all. That's why losers are called greedy.
