AI Summary

This video explores the psychological traps in the Aviator game, focusing on loss aversion, dopamine, the near-miss effect, and the variable reward system. It explains how these mechanisms can lead to addiction and financial ruin.

[00:17]
Loss Aversion

Loss aversion is the tendency to feel losses more intensely than gains. An example: winning ₹500 brings happiness, but losing ₹500 causes greater sadness, leading players to chase losses.

[04:27]
Dopamine and Expectations

Dopamine is released during the anticipation of a win, not just the outcome. This creates excitement and addiction, as players become hooked on the thrill of the game.

[06:16]
Near Miss Effect

A near miss (e.g., crashing at 1.9x when targeting 2x) makes players feel they almost won, encouraging them to try again. This reinforces the belief that success is just around the corner.

[08:02]
Variable Reward System

The unpredictability of when the plane crashes and how much can be won creates a thrilling, addictive loop. Players are drawn by the possibility of a big win, despite frequent losses.

The Aviator game exploits psychological vulnerabilities like loss aversion and variable rewards, trapping players in a cycle of addiction. Awareness of these traps is crucial to avoid financial and emotional harm.

[00:02] uploaded two episodes. If you have n't seen it, you must watch it. You will find it on the channel. learn about psychological traps. That is, is this game actually limited to just winning or losing money or does it also have a psychological impact. So what

[00:17] we are going to discuss in today's video is very important. Will discuss some points. Our first point is loss aversion. Loss aversion. Let us try to understand through an example what loss aversion actually is.

[00:30] Suppose you went to play the Aerator game. Isn't it ? Aieter ? Aieter Aieter game you went to play. You placed a bet of ₹500. You went to play the Aiator game. You placed a bet of ₹500.

[00:46] You went to play the Aiator game. You placed a bet of ₹500. When the plane starts flying and flies up to 2x. Isn't it? Goes up to 2x. And you don't get too greedy. You cash out at 2x

[01:00] You cash out at 2x and get ₹1000. You get ₹1000. That means you invested ₹500 and ₹ 500 became ₹1000. Now tell me whether you will be happy or not? Please do let us know by writing in the comments. Happiness I think would be

[01:15] happiness. Let us see in the first case that you invested ₹500. You cash out at 2x and just after 2x the plane crashes. So you will see that you have got ₹1000. You feel happy. Let's move on to the second case. Isn't it? Let's move on to the second case.

[01:30] In the second case, you invest ₹500 again. In the second case, you invest ₹500 again and In the second case, you invest ₹500 again and fly the plane again. Isn't it?

[01:44] Again you fly the plane. And you are assuming this time that the last time the ship was assuming this time that the last time the ship was cashed out at 2.5x pay. You assumed it would definitely take a bit longer this time. So you thought that at least it will go 5x.

[02:00] You assumed it would go 5x. You are waiting up to 5x and this time it crashes at 1.5x. 5x and this time it crashes at 1.5x. When the ₹500 you invested crashes at 1.5x,

[02:14] how much will your ₹500 become? It will become zero. That means your ₹500 is completely gone. It your ₹500 is completely gone. It became zero. Now, when you had won ₹500, you had made ₹1000 from ₹500, in 2x you had won only ₹500, the happiness of the ₹500 that you had won

[02:29] and the sadness of this ₹500 that has become zero, there is a huge difference between the two, that is, understand that the happiness you feel on winning ₹500 is double the sadness you feel on losing

[02:41] ₹500, on losing ₹500, this is called loss aversion, that is, you understood one thing from this that when you suffer a loss, you are not able to tolerate it. Losses hurt you more. Now your ₹500 has become zero, so now it came to your mind

[02:57] that brother, the ₹500 that I had earned has become zero for me. Come on, it's no big deal. The money hasn't gone out of my pocket yet. Then you will try again. Isn't it? What will you do? Will try again. Isn't it? What will you do? Will you try again? Because the money hasn't gone out of your pocket yet.

[03:11] What you won is gone. Now this loss aversion will bring you back into the field to recover that loss of ₹500 because it is going on in your mind that the gain I made today, if I had not played, I would have had ₹500, so I would have at

[03:27] least made that much, so you come back into the market and you come back into the market and you again invest ₹500 and this time you think that friend, this time we will not wait much, then we will withdraw at 2x. Now I came to know

[03:41] that it did not go 2x, then it ended at 1x only and this time again how much did your ₹500 become ? It became zero. So the first ₹500 that was lost did not go from you. You won that. This time ₹500 went out of your pocket. So now the sorrow you will feel will be

[03:56] doubled. That means whatever pain you were feeling earlier was there. Now that too has doubled. So now you will try to recover this also. Now whatever you have, you are not able to recover that ₹500. ₹1000 is to be recovered and this process

[04:13] continues. You are unable to tolerate your loss. You keep you keep getting trapped in this maze and you keep incurring huge losses. Okay, right? This is called loss aversion. This is seen in maximum cases and is

[04:27] psychological trap is dopamine. Let us understand about this also. Now suppose Let us understand about this also. Now suppose you placed a bet of ₹00. You you placed a bet of ₹00. You placed a bet of ₹500. From here

[04:41] your plane starts flying. The

[04:55] journey in between, from the bed of ₹500 to the result, that is, the journey of flying, till your final result, that is, the journey where the crash happens, your expectation comes in between it.

[05:09] comes. That means your expectation is that this time the ship should go 10X , 15X. I will wait. Isn't it ? This time I will leave with good money. This method is expected. This dopamine does

[05:22] not decide on the final result. When he decides on his expectations, your expectations start increasing in the meantime. Grows very fast. Greed starts increasing very rapidly within you. You become optimistic that this time the ship will last

[05:35] longer. This time the plane will fly longer and I will make a lot of money. These kinds of things keep going on in your mind. This thrill of the game is very addictive and it leaves you completely addicted in the long term. The result is a secondary

[05:49] thing. You will enjoy this journey so much that you will become addicted. You will feel like coming to the Daily Airer, you will feel like playing. So this will become such a sequence, such a cycle from which you will never be able to get out. And it is not that easy. We are in this

[06:02] entire series. Later in the series we will also discuss some case studies. We will also talk about real events. But now you try to understand that both these things that we have mentioned, psychological traps, are being applied on common people who are involved in this game

[06:16] somewhere or the other. This is our third point. Our third point is the near miss effect. What happens in a near miss effect ? Let us try to understand this. ? Let us try to understand this. Suppose you placed a bet of ₹500, right?

[06:29] You placed a bet of ₹500 and the plane started flying. I'll cash out at 2x your target. You assume we cash out at 2x and God forbid

[06:41] your luck doesn't support you a bit. At 1.9x the plane crashes. But before closing the game, the plane automatically crashes and your money of ₹500 goes away and becomes zero. Isn't it? Now it was in your mind that friend, I was almost there,

[06:56] so I had reached there. It had already reached 2x. My prediction was just a little wrong. Otherwise I would have been successful here. So now this thought starts coming to your mind that friend, this means I am understanding things. I understand this.

[07:09] So next time you will bat again. Next time you might use 3x bait or maybe 1.5x bait. In this way because you will feel that I have reached near. I have come close. This

[07:23] means that I have an understanding of the game and if I try next time, I might be able to do better. So you will try again next time. Maybe next time something like this will happen in the near future also. So after that if you try again then this sequence will continue.

[07:37] Ok? This circle will continue to move. You will keep moving round and round like this. So this will keep happening again and again. In the meantime, it is possible that you may win two or four times, then your motivation level will become even higher. You will start feeling that no no, now

[07:49] I have started understanding things well. So this is a process which will keep trapping you in it. So this near miss effect is also very dangerous. Let us understand the next point. The fourth point is the variable reward system.

[08:02] actually when you invest money in the game, when you place a bet, suppose you placed a bet of ₹500. I always carry ₹500 with me today. So you bet ₹500. You do n't know at what point it will crash. At what time will this crash occur? You don't know.

[08:19] First thing. The second thing is that you do not even know how much you will win, that is, whether you will win or you will lose. If you do n't know this then this game is completely thrilling for you. These two things somehow make this game

[08:34] unpredictable. That is, unpredictable means you cannot predict exactly what is going to happen and this creates a different kind of thrill somewhere inside you. Because when you do n't know exactly about it, you go

[08:47] into its history. That is, the history given before this in this game is how much maximum it has gone, then you see that maximum it has gone 100x. Then

[09:00] you calculate that if I had invested ₹500 and got 100x, then and got 100x, then my 500 would have become 100x, so it means that my 500 would have become 100x, so it means that I would have won ₹00 by investing ₹500. This is

[09:12] how you relate and think about things. Isn't it ? By relating things in this way, you think that if I had bet 100X in this game, I would have won ₹00. If I don't weight 100 x. Suppose if I had weighed 90x, I would have

[09:27] made a good amount of money. It would have become ₹45,000. So by predicting things in your mind in this way, you become more passionate about it. Now you think that it does n't matter if you lose 10-20 times, so what? So what if my money becomes zero? Maybe

[09:40] I will get a big game in which I can earn 50 times or 60 times my money. So So to find such an opportunity, you go out to the market and keep playing game after game, game after game. Isn't it? And this sequence never

[09:55] breaks. This sequence breaks when you do not have money. And many people are not able to get out even after this because then they start borrowing. Because it keeps going on in their mind that so much loss has happened.

[10:09] How will you tell anyone? What will happen if we don't recover ? So why don't you try something else. It is possible that everything gets recovered and they keep trying to invest more money for their recovery. But they never recover and get

[10:24] trapped in this trap in such a way that their entire life gets ruined. So friends, this was our third video on how you need to avoid such traps. More videos will be coming on this. So you will get to learn a lot. This is a series

[10:37] in which I am giving you an awareness series. In this I am trying to tell you very basic things about Aerator. I hope you liked the video. Any of your friends who is addicted to this game or likes to play this type of game.

[11:04] not know but actually you have become addicted to this game and if you keep trying continuously then one day or the other a situation will come when you might get trapped in its maze in such a way that it will be too late. So do not make this mistake at all and do
