Topic: Do you feel excited while gambling - page 7. (Read 2359 times)

I try not to feel too excited if that makes sense, I think it only helps lose control of your position and any feeling in the game.   When you over step the mark you are going to get hit type of thing, maybe its the oppisite for some people and they perform better with hype.  Energy levels help some feel more involved, focuses their attention and in turn they will do better.   I try to stay calm but also with enough focus to perform as I need to in that game, if I over focus I think I tend to beat myself first and lose the game unfortunately over thinking it; everyone has to play it the best they know how.

 It makes me wonder whether you gamble for a career or just for fun because many people gamble without any real purpose or experience, using it only as a way to pass the time or relieve stress.

I’ve seen a friend who used just a couple of coins to gamble for the sake of it, not caring whether they win or lose.

For some people, it’s not just about money. Whether they succeed or not doesn’t matter; what matters is using money to empower young people. There are many activities involving young people and children, and they are always involved because they are the most vulnerablE

That's a good approach to gambling and I would probably advise you to continue to maintain that approach to your gambling, treating gambling in moderation such as by only putting small amounts along with putting limits on involvement is the best approach that leads to many preventive benefits so that we avoid many bad possibilities or at least so that the amount we lose is not too large. And you've already said that you've felt what it's like to end a session with a loss, it sucks and most gamblers find it hard to ignore their emotions when they're in that situation.

We know that by putting a large amount into gambling the winnings are bound to be large too, but that's not the point, the problem is that it's not easy to be that lucky in gambling and most of what happens is ending the session with a loss, so it's better to choose to treat gambling according to what you can afford, whether it's in terms of putting a budget amount and also limiting the time of involvement, because the logic is that if you are lucky then you will also win even if the winnings are not too large but it's a decent win.

The only time I am excited is when I am making profits. I don't have any good reasons for me to be excited when I have not seen the result of the bet I played. Maybe there are people that there case might embe different from my but I choose not to be disturbed. I am more interested in making profits and good my way. I don't gamble often and I am happy with that so I can always choose a time when I could gamble and make something better from gambling. When I get the opposite of what I am looking for, I choose to relax and have a good time than going back to gamble

But sometimes there are some gamblers who are excited not because of the excitement but the intention and hope along with the feeling of getting a big win and they are typical gamblers who are too serious in pursuing victory, on the other hand no matter whether you come with the excitement to get a lot of fun or victory in the end still everything will look and feel annoying when the situation changes as fast as lightning as you said where the spin goes so bad that it makes the session very short and ends with a loss, This is a situation that is not easily accepted by gamblers who have the intention of earning in gambling, they are like losers who want to win but are not prepared for the fact of losing and the idea of "chasing the win" to restore something that has been lost is the action they usually choose.

With what I see from your statement it seems like you are one of those gamblers who often fixate on the RTP machine, or simply you always look at the RTP percentage before you bet and honestly at first I was the same as you which when I was just getting to know gambling like slot machines I always looked at the RTP first to see which games were good. but sometimes over time I feel like I'm getting better, But sometimes over time I feel that there is a lot that does not match the RTP, meaning that when the RTP is a high percentage but when I play the game the spin looks very bad and that means not all RTPs match the game provided, this is according to my personal experience.

Gambling presents a unique challenge, balancing the allure of potential gain with the inherent risk of loss. While it's true that any discretionary spending involves some level of potential regret, gambling differs due to its uncertain and potentially significant financial consequences.

While skill can influence outcomes in certain games like poker or blackjack, a significant element of chance remains present, particularly in games like slots or roulette. This inherent dependence on luck distinguishes gambling from other leisure activities, where the primary focus is enjoyment rather than potential financial gain.

Maintaining a neutral emotional state during gambling is often cited as an ideal approach. However, completely eliminating emotions might be unrealistic and potentially counterproductive. Humans are inherently emotional creatures, and acknowledging these emotions can be beneficial for making informed decisions. The key lies in managing these emotions effectively to avoid impulsive choices that could exacerbate losses.

Having those kind of reactions is really just that normal.Why? We are just humans on which it would really be just that normal that we do have those kind of reactions because losing money is never been that good thing.

Even on how hard we do tell into ourselves that we are just playing for fun but on the time that you would be losing on consecutive manner then this is where emotions would really be usually kicking in.
You wont really be that making yourself be able to avoid not to have those kind of angry and disappointment gestures specially when you are losing. This is why if you do find out that
gambling is something that stressful for you rather than on being entertaining then it would be better that you should be having some break.

Dont force out yourself on dealing with it if you do have those kind of impulsive approach because you wont know that because of that extreme disappointment
it would really be leading up into that kind of revenge gambling on which we do know that it isnt really that good on having this way.

There are also some times when you could end up with a situation where you just take a break for a longer term. Like think of it as someone like you, who has small capital, and then gambles a bit, loses it and just takes a break for a week before they come back and gamble again. That would be taking a break as well, sure it is not a few hours break, but it's still a break.

I personally did both, I have gambled and stopped for a few hours to collect my thoughts and then came back, but also I have gambled and gave a week, or even month break before ı came back as well. Both work wonders, each time I did it, I have become a better gambler, not just about the results but also about the feelings, felt much better each time I did it.

Yeah same here but I only place small bets though I am a bit excited with the results that sometimes comes with adrenaline rush most especially if I bet more than my limits that freaken me out I don't know why. That is why I don't like abusing my bets like being greedy because I know how it feels when losing and winning as it might be intense. It's really fun it's like riding a rollercoaster while waiting for results.

people who claim to be experts are usually clowns who want to gain popularity and money from novice gamblers. they just tell their experiences of how they can win gambling with certain methods and create paid groups so that people can gain knowledge from these methods to win their gambling. but without them realizing it, they are only fooling themselves, because after all the house always has a higher chance of winning than the players. and that is the fact on the ground.

so instead of trusting self-proclaimed experts and wasting money on them, it is better for gamblers to learn on their own and develop their skills, so that they can gamble and win with their own analysis.

Yes I do feel excited when gambling, that is one of the reason why I like to gamble.
The excitement and thrill while playing, I could only feel it if money is involve in a game.
The feeling that I could earn or lose my money by the result of my game, I thought that all gamblers feel this way when gambling , but I guess I was wrong I talked to some of close friends and family about it, and some of them feel the same way while other are just calm while gambling like it is just a normal game for them.

Maybe he has the enthusiasm to gamble because he has felt the pleasure of winning once or twice, then he is very enthusiastic about gambling even though he often loses there. and what you say is true or maybe he feels comfortable with all the gambling games he plays so he becomes addicted and then he forgets that gambling is very high risk and what he thinks is fun and enjoyable.

I feel only in the beginning of any session as the exitement is what keeps us coming back yet it can also disappear lightning fast when we are playing and we happen to hit a very bad session since early into the session there is nothing left of being excited when gambling.What I have noticed is that the RTP of most games is changed in any reputable casino and I have absolutely 0 doubts about it that is why I shifted my focus to sport gambling only.

I think that this is a state of naive belief that exactly half the time a gambling player will win and he will be lucky because the money won during the period of luck will be much more than lost, this period passes as the given player gains experience in  gambling.  And for most players who start playing a lot and often, this period is not so long.  Realizing that it is a pleasure to gamble and simply pay for the pleasure received is a much more reasonable form of player behavior.  And accordingly his individual perception of the game process.
 I think that all normal players should think this way and, accordingly, should not feel too sorry for the money they lost.

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.
