Topic: Do you feel excited while gambling - page 8. (Read 1796 times)

Why would you watch a game between two teams that are at the bottom of the table in the first place? I'm just kidding, I agree that sometimes, you might need to add some spices to situations where there are no natural spices because if you have to deal with it, deal with it in your way instead of getting bored to death, and when it comes to sports betting, it becomes more fun, at least for some people, when they have a bet placed and they know that they won't become completely sad even if they lose the bet which is what allows them to enjoy the game more.

If you stay worried about your bet and losing it, you will barely be able to enjoy the game and your mind will keep making you sad if your selected side is losing control of the game.

That is a very good explanation you got there, Porfirii.
Sometimes, people under-estimate how deep inside of us, there are still the insticts of those ancient humans who fought for survival and needed to secure food and shelter at all cost. They would have felt the same way in the case they saw some of their crops and meat getting stolen or spoiler to the climate. Though, one of the differences between the now and then is how we nowadays have more control over how much we are willing to risk, that is something those ancient humans did not have or could not control.
I don't know whether you would agree with me on this topic, but in my opinion, the best approach to have with gambling is to have the lowest expectations possible for the outcomes we could have, it may not help much to enjoy the gambling sessions if we have bad luck, but it could certainly turn any good outcome and win into a pleasing surprise.

I have consider myself to be already a quite pessimistic person. So it is not difficult to me to go after that strategy, what do you think? Could it help gamblers or not?

When gambling becomes more than a hobby, you're setting yourself up to fail. Despite your advice to "only gamble what you can afford to lose," many gamble with money that was never supposed to be lost

They forget or never understand that the house always wins. The stark reality of probability and statistics is not cynicism. Casino gambling should be brief, not a desperate attempt to save money. You saw it clearly, a remarkable feat in a sea of delusion. I wish more people could appreciate the narrow boundary between a harmless flutter and a devastating storm. Understanding the game is more important than winning

When you have the chance to win something, and to lose something, emotions are triggered, that's our nature (when we were hunters and gatherers, hunting a prey or loosing a harvest were crucial events for survival. I think that, in general, when we play, some of these ancient connections activate, and even more if there is something at stake like in gambling.

Honest gamblers are able to remain honest because they risk what they can afford to lose, your point is very accurate, gamblers can only become frustrated and unhappy when they keep losing everytime they use some money that in hope they want to make some more money back.

The only way a game can remain fun is you not expecting to get rich with your bets, you did it for the fun of it, and such money that's worth calling fun should be very little in amount, the type of money that you can give away to someone without feeling at thing.

I know this is probably hard for many gamblers, because they are into gambling to win some good amount of money and use that money to do something big, I myself decided to only gamble when I feel like and not make a job out of it because this is not why gambling existed, it's not a way to get rich or a source of income every day, understanding is all that many people failed to get about gambling.

Yes, since I loose most of the time that's the exitement is the main point for me.

I totally agree with you I'm not going to lie, I'll be quite excited while gambling, especially as a newbie, and I'll be making money as well. Gambling has its unique emotion when you win, but you can't feel happy when you lose. People like or love it when they obtain free money as a profit for a modest investment, therefore I don't think people always feel excited while gambling; it varies.

As humans, there is no way we can stop the good and ill feelings about gambling. We can only control ourselves but they will surely happen based on how we play, the risk we take and the outcome of our gambling. Yet, it is good that we avoid or limit issues to avoid ugly effects for ourselves. Gambling is not a child's play and no matter the outcome of our gambling, it could trigger emotion in us. I am talking about the emotion in the sense of greed if we are winning and the winning has become consistent, we would want to play more even as we are happy to do it. Some as well, won't get to the point that they will even win consistently, still, they will not win once and stop but would continue to play due to greed since they do not have any viable plans but are just playing.

Before they knew it, they could have lost back what they won and even lost more. Also, the same scenario is applicable to those who lost and entertained fear (emotion) due to it. At this stage, such a gambler should have taken a break but would want to revenge for what was lost even as fear has also taken the whole mind of the gambler. The result can't be surprising but will end in losses because such is gambling not with his sense but with the emotion in him which now controls him. This can now continue to push due to the view that an act of revenge can recover back the money lost for him, but in most cases, more money would be lost instead until the account is ruined and the eye of the gambler will clear.

This is why we should moderate everything in gambling, we should not be too excited when we win or feel too bad when we lose so that the two will not ignorantly take hold of us and cause us to make mistakes

Yes, that is a big mistakes if they used gambling as a sides job. They will lose big money if they force themselves. Many ways to make money so they should search it by themselves. But many people doesn't realizes about that and still trying because they still see the chance to make money. If they can't feels excited while gambling, instead just feels want to make money, they become greedy and that can leads them to lose much money. Even if some gamblers can used gambling to make money, those people doesn't have to follow them because there is a big difference between them and makes them can't makes money. They can only used gambling as parts of fun and treats gambling as an entertainment and not for making money. We can't be like those people who can make money, especially if we don't have much money to be used for playing gambling.

I think the emotional component of gambling is what makes it really interesting and one of the most important part of it but a lot of people has actually ignored that fact.
For some people, their emotions can be a source of excitement and even a thrill, but that can also lead to people feeling disappointed and even depressed when they lose. While to others who approach gambling from a place of fun, curiosity and enjoyment, they may be less likely to feel negative emotions if they eventually lose. It's definitely a matter of why you play, whether to win or just to enjoy yourself.

Yes, gambling is entertainment but many people take it as a profession. For that many people feel excited! what will occur the next because they're addict more in gambling. I think people should take it entertainment. If they take it entertainment then they will get 2 benefits. One is enjoy the game and 2nd is chance of winning. Here emotions are most important for a gambler. If emotion control brain then people will excited or if brain control emotions then people feel enjoyment. However, gambling is just a game for enjoyment. Everyone's need to enjoy the game from heart not excitement.

Easy to say and looks that simple but majority of gamblers cant really be able to do such thing. Why? because they've become that greedy and they are becoming that hopeful on becoming
rich and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be knowing on how to distinguish on whats just for fun and whats for serious dealing.
People do mess up their lives on the time that they are really going overboard with those limits specially on spending money. If you wont be careful then for sure you would be ending up miserable.
Gambling should be for fun and entertainment and not something that would really be stressful for you because thats not how gambling should works.

I always use gambling as entertainment. I never use gambling outside of entertainment. Also more excitement more emotion harms people more the more emotion and excitement can be avoided while gambling the better. Here I say though I take gambling as a pastime but still I have some excitement while gambling I always keep that excitement under my control and sometimes participate in gambling. There are many people who cannot control their emotions and get too excited in gambling.

when someone so emotionally attached its definitely addiction added with the other reason like can't stop gambling for a while thats obvious addiction and that person needs helps.
gambling is finding excitement and thrill, people that are in it without even thinking about  the consequences are definitely people that don't know about gambling at all.

personally I think the most important thing about it is finding excitement you see watching sport without putting something at stake just make things boring but when you are at stake you will be more committed into watching the sports like watching football for example even if the match is mid, if you know you have something at stake it will become exciting i think that what most people find in it.

the thing is that its only becoming problematic if they just trying to make living out of it, an odd thats 50:50 is never good for making a living out of it.
people should know if something should be for entertainment and something should be for taking seriously like career in being an employee.
you can be betting something to lift off real life burden but you probably will make bad decision if you are making living out of it.

When we realize that we have to stop and we can do this, of course we are not yet addicted to gambling and can still control gambling activities and this is very good because it can reduce the risk of loss that we will incur, yes, it is not an easy thing. to be able to control emotions when gambling, especially if you are losing and I agree with you not to think too much about how likely it is to win at gambling and it would be better for us to be able to enjoy the gambling that we play.

If you control your emotions at the beginning, I think everything will be really comfortable, but your emotions are completely understandable. Continuously losing bets, especially with large amounts of money, can make you feel uncomfortable. Everyone feels sad and disappointed. It is good that you are aware that gambling is a game of chance. It is entirely possible to bet multiple times without winning.

I think you should also consider switching to other games. There are many games that provide fun and entertainment without having to bet money. Remember, the main purpose of gambling is for entertainment. If you don't feel happy while playing, stop immediately.

Everyone have a road to happiness. None of this winning is consider small, rather we push harder to filled in the holes of our dissapointing results. Honestly, gamblers exists to accumulate huge profits and also, they should be considered traditional. We gamble because there are small needs that's ought to be accomplished in the system but due to work, we just have to keep striving for excellent performance. I can't be excited when gambling, because there's either way it will end in the pocket or out, meaning one fan either win or lose.

When you're feeling want to quit but you just can't, it's because you're too emotional on it and that can be helped at the moment.

The sooner you realize that you have to stop and you actually did, means that you're not yet addicted and attached to gambling because you're able to control that emotion.

It's hard to get by with that situation and it happens to many gamblers. Being excited as you gamble and thinking on how much you're likely to win for this day, I don't think of that much because I know it's always like 50/50 or 30/70.

It is important to know and accept that when the gambling you do can affect your mental stability and health, where you feel quite uncomfortable because of the losses you experience, it could be a sign that the gambling you do is no longer a healthy hobby. and to prevent the situation from getting worse, it would be better if you seek support, either from your family or those closest to you, and even if you need to seek help from professionals, then do it, because this is for your own good. and on the other hand, it seems that you also need to take other preventive measures, namely by implementing and setting limits on your budget and playing time, so that apart from this it can help you manage your finances and gambling activities well, but this can also help you in reduce stress and tension when gambling.

I advise you, remember that gambling should be a pleasant pastime, and if you don't get it anymore and this activity can even have other negative impacts, it can also disrupt your life balance and mental health, it would be better if you were able to stop the activity. gambling, and trying to find other alternatives that are healthier and less risky.

I think he/she should be a greedy type that want to make huge money from gambling. Gambling isn't fun anymore immediately you gamble using important money that is meant for something else to gamble. I such games lose out, one becomes frustrated and may keep thinking. With this you can never be excited when gambling.
