Topic: Do you feel excited while gambling - page 4. (Read 1796 times)

Not every individual can cheat when gambling and cheating isn't fun, gambling is meant to be fun and entertaining that you don't know how the game is going to result therefore you'll be over excited when you win. If you cheat you'll already know what they results is going to be like therefore you won't be excited when the game ends and you win. Some cheaters spend money to buy the cheats therefore when they win their profits isn't gotten fully as they have already spent to cheat.

Feeling excited is a regular feeling for all gamblers when they win, before winning they would have lost so much money therefore winning is a relief and this is the reason we get excited, also the money won can be used for things that'll make us more excited. Gamblers shouldn't be advice to stop being excited as they don't know when next they'll have that feeling of excitement again as winning isn't stable.

It is true that if we have experienced a series of defeats then we should stop and rest to calm our minds, which if we continue it will also trigger our emotions which can make everything get out of control, which will most likely happen when we can't stop. in gambling there are big losses such as losing large amounts of money or going bankrupt as you said. this triggers big problems that can destroy our lives, so as much as possible we must be able to control ourselves well, have clear thinking and have limits in gambling which is important, because to avoid and prevent big losses it depends on us, if we can control everything well then it is likely that no major losses will occur. Now that there are so many cases of big losses, it means that there are still many gamblers who are not smart and clever in their gambling, they tend to only think about winning while not paying attention to their fate. Even though we should be able to avoid problems that have occurred in many cases, I also think that with the many cases about the bad effects of gambling, we can use it as a lesson for ourselves so that we don't gamble excessively, which is not a good thing.

That's true, indeed we can take breaks that really calm our minds, such as meditation or other things that we think are the best things to calm the mind. Taking a break from gambling is a must because it calms your thoughts, which if you don't take a break will have fatal consequences.

If you only use a small amount of money and it doesn't last long then you don't need to rest, but perhaps what our friend @seacoincollector means is that when someone gambles for a long period of time and experiences consecutive losses then someone must immediately stop and rest because If you continue, you will experience more losses or you could go bankrupt. There are some people who think that if they continue their gambling sessions even though they are losing, maybe over time they will be able to recover the money they have lost, but they are not aware that gambling is starting to get into their minds, making it increasingly uncontrollable and ending in continuous defeat.

In fact, in my opinion, taking a break is not only about going to the bathroom, eating etc. but also about resting our minds from the negative side of gambling and being able to relax ourselves from emotional feelings. Stopping your gambling for a while will lead you to wiser thoughts if you are calm. You can also be responsible in gambling and not be filled with feelings of regret due to losing because it has become part of gambling. This will certainly make your gambling more enjoyable.

Self-proclaimed experts, most, are clowns as you mentioned, because they don't know the foundation of gambling in the first instance. Any player that shows up to claim his strategies would work for me, is a red flag. And doesn't sound like one, only newbies and naive gamblers would consider calling such people experts because they trust their long-aged winnings stories, which doesn't matter in the gambling niche. Experts, genuine, focus mainly on money and risk management, then fun gambling. They know, it's rare to beat the housing edge, and encourage gamblers to enjoy the process and play for fun, instead of waiting for a big win, which can derail the joy of the game.

I believe that people who play porcelain, roulette or other gambling games that depend on luck are the only people who have fun when they are playing or at least feel greater emotion, whether positive or negative when they are playing, I have particularly seen it here in my parents when people are playing slots they start to scream a lot in irritation because they lost, I wonder what they expected, if they know that the chances of winning in slot machines are very low, the guys spend hours putting coins in that machine and the they lose that I watch in shock at the dedication that guys have to spend many hours playing something that they only lose and they still get angry and scream as if they really were going to lose

when in fact they are just losing constantly and even though they are losing every day, the guys don't give up, I wonder how they can be having fun if they are losing every day and after losing they are shouting in the street and creating confusion, which Would that be a way to have fun? Honestly, this concept of fun seems to be altered in gambling games, no one likes to lose, especially no one likes to lose money, so how could a person who lost money say they had fun? Those guys from my country who are playing at the casino every day slot should stop playing or change games, because in slot they just lose

This is why it is called gambling but even though some attempts to cheat it, there are still no guarantees that they can get successful as I already saw who get caught out. I think that exerting more effort might increase our chances, especially if the game is not luck-based but we should not only expect or hope too much, so that our mood are still going to be fine.

OP asks if we are excited while gambling, well the answer is definitely yes because it is like a box of chocolate where we don't know if what we can get. Maybe some will get nervous because they risk a huge money, or money that is intended for something more important, but I'm sure the feeling of excitement is still there.

Sure, and this is the reason why we are always advised to keep gambling as a leisure activity with the aim of minimizing your boredom by getting pleasure from your sessions. As I said above that one of the reasons is because gambling is always gray, casinos only provide "possibility of winning" and not "certainty", and this fact makes me always think of suggesting healthy engagement to other gamblers especially some of my friends who are also fellow gamblers, not least because sharing experiences and understanding is a good idea to help each other before it's too late.

I agree with your idea that excessive and impulsive gambling is always based on false beliefs, all this happens because of the hope they put on winning so that indirectly makes them "too sure" that they will be able to win when in fact the fact at the end of the session always slaps them that something they always hoped for did not happen and obviously excessive actions will only make you feel more disappointed. Putting hope and faith in a place that has no certainty is an action that will only make someone end up with addiction, logically when you are too hopeful but the fact is that what you expect does not happen then obviously you will not be able to accept the fact of defeat and this makes a gambler act more aggressively like chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, and this is a situation where someone starts to enter the addiction cycle. The point is that getting your hopes up on gambling can ruin your life in many aspects in the long run, and the mistake I think is that they don't look at gambling from many angles during the introductory stage like when they are beginners, which is usually people like that only look at one side of the "opportunity to multiply" which indirectly overrides the thought of the possibility of intolerable losses.

Sometimes, I also get excited when gambling, especially when I am winning. Like when you are on a roll, that is the time when you are happy because you are seeing good results. But when I am losing, I tend to get angry and feel hopeless. I think that is how gambling works; it is a roller coaster ride, and gambling plays on our emotions. That is how people get addicted to gambling: when they pour their emotions too much into gambling.

For our sake, we should not be pouring out all our emotions, so we'll still be sane. It is very energy-consuming when you are too happy for a moment and then angry and sad after a few seconds. Gambling should be for fun, not to make us stressed.

Maybe you forgot to add that those who gamble for fun and are happy whether losing or not are those who gamble with the amount of money that they can afford to lose. They don't gamble with all their worth and expecting to win by all means rather they believe in the luck aspect of gambling and as such act accordingly and not to bet hugely to win jackpot. If you gamble with little money that you can afford to lose then your mind will still be at peace like you never lost anything but in the case where you have to empty your bankroll to gamble, you will feel depressed for the moment that you lost. So the amount staked is also contributory to how you feel when you lose.

I think the excitement you will really feel when the results at the end of the session match what you expect, and if you are still at the journey stage of running the session then I think what is more likely to happen is maybe some tension, but there is also excitement if you look at gambling as a fun activity and that means that tension along with some pressure will usually be felt more by gamblers who always expect to earn, in the sense that when the game round looks bad enough then that's where the tension will occur because they feel worried about losing.

Yes, I quite agree with what you said that whatever the gambler's goal is, at least they will definitely feel pleasure, but maybe as I said above that a gambler who comes with the intention of earning usually they will feel more tension and pressure than pleasure because they are too serious in putting expectations, while for responsible gamblers who are based on a correct understanding of gambling in my opinion will not feel too much tension and pressure like that because usually they only put the amount they can afford to lose.

If you lose too often, you will feel bored, of course you will feel sad and not enthusiastic about losing money. Often the initial goal of having fun is lost along with losses experienced, not everyone can control their emotions well. It's true, there are also many people who always hope to win, usually they take risks with money that they planned to use for other needs, but instead they use it for gambling. That's why they always hope for luck and can't accept defeat.

But when people gets lose their money in gambling, they will not feel excitement and only sadness. That makes them wants to recover their loss and changes their reasons for playing gambling from searching for excitements into recovering their loss and chase the win. We have seen this happens to many gamblers that losing their self-control and causes them losing their money. They don't get excitement because their lose their money and become emotional so they can't enjoy playing gambling. But if we can limits ourselves from playing gambling, we can enjoy the games because we know that we use gambling for fun in our spare time. We will not chase the win as we know that will difficult for us to gets it.

It depends on the game I'm playing with, most likely I'm into sports gambling so it gives me excitement every time I play and of course the thrill if the team I put a bet on manages to win or not, it's gambling not all the time we are winning those bets. If you didnt feel too much excitement anymore and feel not well in playing gambling I guess make yourself ask if you are going to play or not those times you didnt make a good decision in playing because you are not in the mood. Emotions affect gambling decisions.


Sometimes single win can change everything, but its a different story if you meet consecutive losses after those wins, if those winnings cater for all of your backlog losses, you can call for a day and try again your luck next you play gambling.

Taking breaks during a gambling session? Hmm I think I never experienced it, but I think that is because my capital are always small and it wouldn't take a long time for me to use them all if I'm unlucky but if I'm lucky and I'm profiting, I will only stop and withdraw all my balance. This is only the time when I can take a break.

I think that taking a break is not mainly about what you said or for managing our feelings and emotions but it's about doing other things like going to the bathroom, trying to eat a food, and so on... Managing our feelings and emotions are only necessary when we think we are starting to get depressed, greedy, etc... in gambling and we do it outside our gambling time for quite a long time if possible, so that we are sure that we have now fully recovered.

Excitement is normal during gambling because at that time everyone feels the same thing whether he will win or lose.  I feel excited myself. many people use gambling for fun and many for income, but no matter what purpose they use it, there is excitement in everyone. and from this excitement comes fun. But when the result of gambling after all the excitement is win then there is a lot of joy.  And loss feels a bit bad, but those who gamble for income become emotional

You're right though there are some person who feel excited while gambling, regardless to there loses yet they still feel excited,reason been that they know gambling itself is just part of fun. they are just playing for fun,and also for intertainment, they don't expect wining except when luck is on there side that is when they can win.but there are some person who bet more often hoping for luck to always be on there side everytime they gamble, and this set of people doesn't feel excited when gambling,because they intend to be wining whenever they gamble.

It is true that if someone still has little or no complete knowledge about actual gambling, they will make many mistakes or carelessness in every gambling game session they play. And this will encourage someone to become a gambling addict and yes there must be something or a reason for them to behave and act as they please, for example with the motivation of wanting to win a gambling session so they bet a lot because they are confident. they can win.

How can such a player have self-control if all his life he has been a careless, inaccurate and slightly lazy person who, in general, having studied at school, does not really know what he will do and where to work.  In my opinion, it is precicsely these people who make gamblers who can lose all their money and even from the family budget.  I don’t argue that there are focused and very enthusiastic people with enormous self-control and a strong will to win.  For example, these are many, even almost all, athletes at the Olympic Games.  But in the general mass of people, there are very few such purposeful people. 
But basically, there is just such something in the behavior of most people and their actions, actions and personal decisions that, like jelly, fluctuates from side to side.  Including when they play and lose gambling.

What you say is true, victory in gambling cannot be guaranteed even though we have tried to pursue it and if we still want to pursue victory until the end of the game session then all we have to do is regret the wrong actions we have taken.
Yes, someone who is addicted at the start of the game will feel pleasure if he can gamble continuously, but in the end he will feel that this pleasure will be the beginning of destruction in his life because he has lost a lot. money due to gambling without good control.

Basically everything that is done in excess will always be bad, or the meaning will usually always produce bad results and this applies to everything and not just in gambling, but if you take it and apply it to gambling activities then of course as you say that over time anyone will feel uncomfortable, this is gambling which is an activity that only provides "possibilities" and nothing more than that, and obviously it is very natural if in the end there are some results at the end of the session that are not what you expected.

Gambling has absolutely no element of certainty whatsoever that can guarantee you a win at the end of the session, it will never be known unless you have completed the game which means that your excessive actions with the aim of getting a big win will actually only make you feel more disappointed, that's for sure, because you put excessive hopes in a place that has absolutely no certainty. On the other hand it seems that your statement is reversed my friend, there is absolutely no pleasure in the situation of addiction, and you have also said above that they will only suffer a lot of problems as a result of wrong gambling, there is no pleasure at all in the defeat that dominates.
