What makes a gambler overconfident ?
 
Thank you for your insight on the topic. Overconfidence in gambling can be caused by various factors, as you pointed out, including a winning streak or perceived success. This can lead to the gambler feeling that they have a "hot hand" or are "on a roll", which can lead to impulsive bets and higher risk-taking behavior.

Another factor that can contribute to overconfidence is the belief in a system or strategy that the gambler believes will increase the chances of winning. In many cases, these systems may not actually have any merit and can lead to misguided and irrational betting.

Additionally, there can be social pressures or a desire to impress others that can lead to overconfidence while gambling. For example, if a gambler is trying to impress their friends or romantic partner with their betting skills, they may take bigger risks and make more impulsive decisions than they would normally.

It is important for gamblers to recognize the signs of overconfidence and practice responsible gambling habits. This can include setting limits on the amount of money and time spent on gambling, as well as seeking help if gambling has become a problem.
 
been very over confident have cost a lot of gamblers , some gamblers just need to understand the risk that comes with gambing then they would know what to do and others , gambing itself comes with huge risks and others
 
Gamblers winning streak and gambling success couple with the form and head to head between two teams are one of the factors that usually make a gambler to be very confident. But you should still know nothing's impossible in this life
 
Gamblers who believe that they have control over the outcome of a gamble are more likely to be overconfident. This is because they may believe that they can use their skills or knowledge to win, even though the odds are always in favor of the house. Gamblers who experience a winning streak are more likely to become overconfident.
 
To be honest, we don't have to be overconfident in betting. Betting is a probability that can either favour us or be against us. Therefore, we should not be acting too confident whenever we want to involve in betting.
 
One thing that makes a gambler overconfident is consistent wins for a long time. This makes them feel like they actually know how to do this. Overconfidence is dangerous at some level. This is because it tends to start hindering clear judgement. You stop being careful in your gambling and this could lead to so much loss.
 
Some are confident just because they always predict right. When we are making constant right prediction, we may have too much trust in ourselves ignoring the fact that we can still lose if we are not careful.
 
When you're on a heater and wins are piling up, it's so easy to start thinking you have some kind of magic touch. But the thing is, with gambling, the same luck that got you those wins can just as easily turn against you. And when you get an inflated ego about your skills, that's when you really set yourself up for trouble.

That is right. When you are predicting right all the time, it gets so exciting and you develop overconfidence. This reaches a dangerous level where you just predict and gamble without caution. Then losses occur and you wonder what happened to your wonderful winning streak.
