I still remember one particular ride through the polders back in 2019. The wind was hitting me side-on, my legs were burning and I wanted to stop. But at that exact moment I decided to keep pedalling. Two hours later I stood on the dike with tears of joy in my eyes — not because I reached the finish, but because I had proven something to myself. I feel that same emotion every time a player at Amarobet, after a long losing streak, still makes the right decision and wins. It is not the jackpot itself — it is the moment you realise: I kept going.
With years of experience in the Dutch online gambling market, I have watched hundreds of players at Amarobet struggle with exactly this problem: they give up too quickly the moment the "wind turns against them". The Dutch cycling mindset teaches us the opposite. We are a nation used to headwinds, to long distances and to pushing on without seeing an immediate result. That mindset is worth its weight in gold at the slots and the roulette table.
That same stubborn perseverance shows up in the high rollers who stay at the table the longest: read their story in our Exclusive Interview with a High Roller.
Question: How do I apply the cycling mindset to slots? Answer: Treat every spin like a pedal stroke — calm, rhythmic and without emotion. Question: What if I hit a long losing streak? Answer: See it as a strong headwind: you come back stronger if you keep pedalling with a plan. Question: Does this also work at live blackjack? Answer: It works even better there, because you can see your table companions as fellow cyclists. Question: How do I stop myself from cycling too long? Answer: Set a time limit and a loss limit in advance, just as you would plan out a route. Question: Is this approach backed by science? Answer: Yes, it is comparable to research on endurance and decision-making under pressure.

"The best cyclists are not the ones who pedal the hardest, but the ones who hold out the longest. Exactly the same is true for gambling." — Sander Peeters, 2026
