Topic: Do you feel excited while gambling - page 8. (Read 2350 times)

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.

If someone engages in excessive gambling activities, of course over time he will feel uncomfortable because excessive activity is not in accordance with our abilities and the results will not be satisfactory for us but will be a matter of regret.
Yes, gamblers who are addicted will certainly feel satisfied because just by gambling they get pleasure even though they often end up losing, but for gamblers who are not yet addicted, this is a problem for them.

Yeah, it's easier to lose that money back to the casino because the amount isn't satisfying. And our satisfaction is also growing and that's why when we've won small amounts, that's not going to give us the encouragement to keep that money but instead we just gamble it back and we wouldn't care if it will lose again. Going to that point of losing including the hard earned money, that person is doing it the wrong way. Don't touch other money that are not dedicated to gambling because that will be the fall down of his entire empire together with his businesses.

I agree, moods do change and sometimes we're happy to win with any amount but there are times that it's totally disappointing. And it becomes a domino effect when we lose one time, it's going to be the entire day that we have. As for the gamblers that have won and treats themselves as experts, you know it's the same with the market that when the bull run comes, too many experts comes out everywhere proclaiming that they're the best but they're all clowns.

Most people can enjoy things that could harm them if done in excess without a problem, it is just that the cases of the people that cannot do it are so prominent and impossible to ignore, that it may seem as if this could happen to anyone.

But this is not really true, most of those that become addicted and suffered negative consequences had a predisposition to it already, so as long as you do not have it then you should be able to gamble without suffering any major setback.

I can say that all can be worth the fun as long as you keep everything in minimum. I mean with minimum money to allocate and a minimum of time to spend in a casino or an online casino. This is my own definition of having fun in gambling, other than that, if a person tends to break his own limits, I can call it a serious gambling hobby, not an addiction yet because everything has a process before reaching such level of gambling involvement.
And yeah, the excitement and fun always comes on whether or not you're gonna win your bet. The higher the stake the higher the excitement for sure and of course the higher the risk of losing more money. Losing ain't fun though.
I think most people who tends to gamble excessively are "ready" to take the risk of losing everything they have, but most of them aren't ready on what's going to happen after everything is done and when they're back with their families or normal lives. It's not gonna be a surprise if we hear the word "gambling" coming out from the mouth of the homeless.  

This is why on the time that you do step your foot into this market then you should really be aware about into those jumping of emotions on which this is something that could really happen
and this is something that you would really be tending to have on which you should really be that playing gambling for the sake of fun and entertainment and not making it as a source of income.
The main mistake of people is that they are really that switching to make it as a source of income and on the time that they do play then those emotions would spike up and this is where it would really be resulting that you would be able to deposit even more because you arent that satisfied on the things that you are currently experience. This is why it would be your choice on what you should gonna do but at least go to the realistic side of things.

I've known some of my gambler friends that still doing fine even if they've been dealing with gambling for 5 years or more but still they arent that wrecking up themselves
because they do make themselves that responsible on the actions that they are taking. They do play gambling for fun, if they lost then they do just simply move on and
call it a day and would be making some deposit again on tomorrows session but of course in a controlled manner.

Gamblers who have won high amount of money in the past will one day, not care about smaller wins, and it's one purpose that makes them throw all they've won back to the casino, including their earned money from different businesses. However, the game is meant to be fun, but the funds are no longer interesting to the player. As the wins won't show up all the time. Players also have unique moods that leads to such behavior. It could be as a result of a delay in winning again. Recently noticed that gamblers who are one-time big winners crown themselves experts, hence trying to coach others around them on gambling, but if they fail to win again, the excitement can disappear. Because they wouldn't feel like experts anymore, with their money going all back to the house.
