Topic: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss - page 3. (Read 532 times)

Emotional responses plays a big role in the way people react after a win. For instance, when people are handed out a gift, each, some would jump up in joy while some would only say thank you and walk away. That doesn't mean the later isn't happy for receiving the gift, he only doesn't know how to jump and shout after receiving a gift. Same is applies to gambling, few people wouldn't mind staying calm after winning and other could make it known to everyone that they've won huge amount of money in gambling. The duration such joy lasts depends on how long the money lasted on the winner's hand. Once the money has been exhausted the joy diminishes. Only those who walks away with the money can have a long lasting joy after winning. Gamblers who continued to wager their wins can as well go home with a frowned face and worry about why they had lost so much money in one day.

It was said and explained million times - gambling and its experience is individual. Each gambler has hiw own length of joy. Even if I answer with «1 minute of joy», it wont help OP much, it wont tell much, as he is not in my skin. I can tell only one thing, each gambler feels joy twice, when he wins, and when he withdraws (or holds winning in hand).

P.S. If OP wants to get a philosophical answer, then we feel joy from everything less than a second, and there it is an aftertaste.

Gamblers' joy after winning or losing differs tremendously. Long-term effects of these encounters affect our views and habits. Winning releases dopamine, a feel-good neurotransmitter. Joy often lasts only as long as the celebration. It may last a few hours while they replay the occasion, but for others, it fades after the money or game.

However, loss can have a greater emotional impact. Losses might affect us emotionally and change our strategies or views about luck and competence. This contemplation may persist until the following game or longer, depending on resiliency and gambling outlook. Retirement planning is a long-term game. Understand our emotional responses in gaming to make better decisions and have a more balanced and happy experience, just like we plan for retirement.

I think it will take longer especially when the winnings we get are to buy the things we want, luxury watches? dress? or even television. I think we are actually excited to try the next game. Instead of having to go back to gambling on profits, it is better to spend them as soon as possible. It won't make us regret it if we lose in the next game. This is gambling, there is no guaranteed win.

I won't gambling for whole day, it looks like you're not doing anything except gambling, better to search a new hobby or other productivity instead of gambling too long. I usually gamble for 1-2 hours, not too short or too long for me.

But usually gambling is not really about the duration, but it depends on how big or small your money is.

It should take less than 20 minutes for beginners to experience victory. the reason is that they are still carried away by continuing to play even though they have already won several wins. I even feel it but I will continue to hold it until 10 hours or tomorrow that is how the gambling site should have forgotten about my gambling activities. I hope to be given a win after I haven't played for several hours. If I still lose, I will move or even stop for a long time.

First, post-gambling bliss or misery lasts differently for everyone. Individual psychology, the victory or loss backdrop, and personal life circumstances all play a role.

After a triumph, individuals may feel euphoric for a moment. For some, it lasts longer, giving them a sense of accomplishment outside the game. Almost like a "gambling afterglow", the thrill of winning brightens your day.

Losses can also hurt differently. Some may dismiss it as part of the game's excitement. Others may feel it longer, especially if the loss was unfair or large. Our personal story about the win or defeat determines the length of our emotional response in both circumstances.

You are right that the duration of disappointment will be longer if gambler experiences defeat and of course anyone would be happy with win and feel emotional increases when defeat occurs.
Maybe some wise gamblers will withdraw number of winnings and when they lose they will immediately walk away from gambling and forget about it to avoid feelings of disappointment, but only few gamblers do this.
Most gamblers when they win they try to get much bigger win and risk all their winnings and when they experience loss there will be feeling of not being able to accept it and then trying to recover the loss.
This is an attitude that is always present and possessed by most gamblers, so far it has not been proven that many gamblers can avoid it and have wiser attitude.

Defeat is something that is bound to happen and victory is just luck that returns the amount of money that has been lost.
Every gambler must be able to understand it, they must be able to take appropriate and measurable actions when they win or lose.
If these two outcomes of gambling cannot be handled properly, they will only lead gamblers into quite complicated problems.

You are not the only one, according to what I have read a loss is twice as powerful than a win of a similar amount, so if you were to lose 5 dollars you will need to earn 10 dollars to experiment a felling of the same intensity.

This is why people have such aversion to risk as if they were to lose any amount of money they will need to earn way more money for them to feel fine, now this is a behavior that makes sense as it protect us from eventually suffering terrible losses, however it is also a behavior that can prevent us to take the opportunities right in front of us and that present no risk to ourselves.

You are right on this one though because on the time that you would really be having those huge wins then for sure you would really be having that kind of joy which might last for a while comparing into those small wins on which you would really be just simply forget it and proceed on the things that you've been currently doing. This is why it is really that true on the thing that you have said though.
When it comes to losing too then it would be the same on which the bigger the amount the more harder that it would be forgotten, some might be thinking about for minutes and there are ones who do think for days. Unforgettable moments would really be that remembered forever despite on having that continous dealing with gambling.

For myself, the duration of my happiness when i win at gambling only lasts half a day, but the duration of my emotions and sadness when i lose when gambling can last up to 2 days and it is very difficult for me to change this behavior.  The feeling of happiness from losing or winning gambling is different for each person.  In fact, i have a friend who has absolutely no emotions or expressions when he finishes gambling, honestly, i'm surprised by him ^{(i'm confused and often ask him whether he lost or won when he is done playing lol)} However, i often hear that bad emotions can affect your gambling results, so try to stabilize your emotions when you start gambling, don't let yourself lose big because you fail to manage your emotions well.

No one likes to lose, especially when it involves losing money, so I think that people's happiness lasts until they start to suffer losses, that is, if today the person wins and profits, they are happy and if tomorrow they lose and suffer losses, then they become sad. It's been like that for most people. But it is necessary to note that most of the time people are having more losses than victories so most of the time people are sadder fighting to recover their losses, this happens to all of us. but as games from the beginning should be seen as fun, so when you lose, people should not be sad to the point of getting depressed and starting to think about going into debt to recover the lost money, people should play consciously because they are going to leave with losses

and accepting losses naturally is something very important. I sometimes wonder why someone who knows that they get angry very easily when playing any game that doesn't involve money, enters the world of gambling games, which are games that involve money? Here in my neighborhood, when people play and are winning, I can hear them laughing and humiliating the people who lost, but when the same people who won are losing they start to get angry and unhappy and as a consequence the game ends in fights, and it's a game that doesn't involve money

So I wonder what if those guys were playing a game of chance that involved money, what would they be able to do if they lost? so the only thing that comes to my mind is that those guys shouldn't get involved in gambling because they are people who can't keep calm when they lose, so if they were playing in some casino and they lost, they directed their hate at the casino, and with that hate they would take as much money as they could get and gamble so that they would get back all the money they lost and in the process they would lose everything and become bankrupt and addicted.

Losing makes people even more addicted to continuing to play until they win.
The excitement will last until you bet again. When you start betting again it will cause feelings of anxiety.
It is not certain how long it will take because we cannot predict everything.

There is no correct answer about the duration of joy after winning or losing. But perhaps the duration of disappointment after losing will be felt longer than the duration of joy after winning. But when I win, a feeling of excitement comes, and the duration is sometimes different. And if they have won a gambling game, it is best to immediately withdraw the winnings so they can enjoy it with those close to them. But when they experience defeat, they must be able to erase that disappointment as soon as possible because otherwise, it can affect their mood. They will experience disappointment throughout the day due to losing at gambling.

This should be individual because our excitement rate is not the same. I can win a game today in the morning and the next 2 hours, I have forgotten about it. Not that I don't enjoy the excitement but there is nothing really to joy over if we consider how much the casino has gained from people. Any amount you win from casino, just know that there are hundreds and thousands of more that has lost more than that and any amount you think you have won, if you are not careful, you might even lose more than that after some weeks or mornths, only few lucky bad guys navigate through this losses.

I also feel that as a gambler, when you win a substantial amount of money, it's better to call it off and go rest and try again. The idea of "I win, let me try again" is very bad except for those who does sports and are very sure of what they are doing. You might even be having assurance on some matches only for the team to clear you down, Arsenal made me feel that today. So it's actually subjective and I have given my opinion already.

It will last a day for sure, but the moment you already spend the winning money then for sure that is the start for you to aim more.
The excitement will not last longer, but at least you are able to enjoy it and give some to others. Just know how to spend it wisely so you wont regret it later on. If you win the jackpot, I think that will be a different scenario because that is a lot of money and it might last longer.

I usually don’t play another round of gambling if I still thinking about my previous game. I’m always making sure that my past game will not gonna affect my current game so that I can focus solely on my game. This way I can avoid chasing loss or being scared to lose my bankroll.

I have different time frame on how can I get over to my previous game depending on the amount involved. I stop for long days if I win/lose huge amount while shorter days when I’m just breakeven or close to breakeven.

It's a very subjective question. No one can answer that on your behalf, and you can't answer that on other's behalf as well. Other people might feel the euphoria for days or even weeks, and others might feel that same feeling for only a few minutes. It's just entirely different for different people, and there's not a definitive way to know or measure that exactly.

It could be 5 seconds or a minute and everything after is just about the money you won, not really about the winning moment, isn't it?

Personally, I have never won any amount that made me think to give people on the street so I can't answer for giving the won rewards to people and their existence of joy but it shouldn't be a concern if I am thinking rational or else people may say that I am unusual.

For me, I think that the duration of joy after a win or loss is dependent on the amount won. The bigger the winnings, the longer the joy would last and the smaller the winnings the shorter the joy would last.
Where it becomes very sad and joy is lost on the instant, is if after the gambler has claimed his/her winnings, then they spend it frivolously on things or pleasures that aren't a profitable investment to begin with.
