Topic: Do you feel excited while gambling - page 9. (Read 1796 times)

Of course, it's normal to get excited about gambling, especially if you predict correctly in gambling and you win. It's also normal to lose in gambling one after another, that's really part of the game, so you must control your emotions so that you don't get too affected when you feel like you're having a bad day. You need to have a budget so you know when to stop and when to continue. It's okay to try to quit gambling if you know you're overdoing it, it's better to quit while you're not addicted to gambling and you know yourself that you can stop it.

There's this thing called hedonic set point. It's the very thing that stops us from enjoying the same thing over and over again especially if we've done it in multiple successions across different instances. This doesn't just go for gambling either, so if you're having concerns about your mental health or whatever be at ease cause this is a real thing that happens and it's common.

Now, you're probably in the burned out phase where you feel like there's no real incentive in what you're doing at this point and it's not that fun anymore even if you win, what I would highly suggest you do during these situations is to actually quit gambling for the meantime, and substitute it with a more interactive activity that you would do for extended periods of time. Perhaps sports, video-games, talking to friends over on Discord, or anything really. All you have to do is to make sure that you're spending the time you would've used up for gambling onto something that is worthwhile, not mind-numbing, and active. Eventually you'd feel the pull of gambling back and when that happens, take it slowly, play a couple games per day on limited bankrolls or whatever, micro-dose yourself in oxytocin and dopamine instead of pushing for instant gratification, and you'd suddenly feel healthier, more in control of your life, and of course, happier. Trust me, I've been in the same situation as you have countless times due to the nature of my work and the lack of personal interactions it entails but as soon as I realized I just have to make sure I control my hedonic setpoint instead of having it control me, I've had a more fulfilled life.

I think you should try to limit the amount of money you use for gambling. Moreover, you said that you experience defeat more often.
Actually, this feeling of displeasure arises when your money is continuously eroded by losing at your own game.
If you can reduce the amount of money to the point where you feel fine, I think you will also feel happy when playing even though your potential winnings are small.
Many people enjoy gambling and find it fun because they are not at all bothered by the losses they incur, they just want to play honestly.

Gambling with what you can afford to lose is just a warning to make sure you don't use funds budgeted for other important uses for gambling. And I think it's normal to feel bad if you're not winning especially if you're new to gambling, but you've to take it easy with yourself and re-strategize. If you bet often on sport betting, you've to reconsider trimming your bet on a slip to increase your chances of winning. After taking this step and you're still getting the same outcome, then you may want to take a break or quit.

Yes, I think that when gambling some sublime emotions are expressed naturally, there is no suppression, of course I can only play gambling and some other betting games on the weekends . I think it's a good spiritual food for stressful, tiring working days. The feeling of a great winner. Of course, you should not pay too much attention to winning or losing with huge sums of money. it will be more easily irritated and easier to knock itself out.

Gamblers who see gambling as a side hustle are into a big mistake and would need to remove such mentally from their memory, not to fall victim to a bigger trouble. It's been made clear that the house takes most of the money, and gamblers are just being given few percentages of what they wager. Hence those who are experts or professionals that make money through gambling like it's a career, planned it all the way to the end. The process is not a one-day thing, and the professionals have lots of money to finance their gambling habit. That is, they have calculated the house edge and observed how much they need on their bankroll to venture into a long-term gambling without running out of money. When they are done calculating it, their money mixes with the wins from the casino, such that they'll never go broke in the process and most of them belong to comp clubs, with facilitates the winning process for them, by offering them points to use for food and hotel bills.

Each gamblers will have their own motive and every people free to decide what is the motive they have. But they need to understand about the risk behind of that motive because many people doesn't want to know the risk and chasing the excitement of playing gambling. They use gambling to make money as a job they do but that is wrong if they thinks like that. They will only chase the winning without thinking that gambling is not a place to make money. Only a few people who can successful from gambling but they don't tell many people how they can do that. For ordinary gamblers, it's better they use gambling as a source of pleasure so they don't have an intention to chase the winning. They will control themselves while playing gambling because they know that is the only chance to avoid addicted to gambling.

Demo account gambling doesn't give the real life experience you get from gambling, you won't be at a risk of losing your money when gambling through demo accounts therefore you won't be scared of risking more but when you're gambling with real money it's a totally different feeling. There are some individual that they been using demo accounts to practice but when they use real accounts they lose everything that they have as they didn't have real life experienced of gambling before.

You can use demo account but also try gambling with little money so you can have real life experiences too. Being over excited can make you to lose many amounts of money when gambling as you'll be over waging as you'll be thinking that you have more chances of winning but you don't have them and your brain is only deceiving you. Gambling shouldn't be done with over excitement, be realistic with your bets.

I don’t feel excited now when playing bets. I would also add that the category of people that feel so excited are the ones playing for the first time. You tend to be so optimistic when playing a bet. Even when you lose you also get excited because you feel surely your going to win a bet sooner or later. The more you gamble you develop the ability to lock up your emotions and reduce your expectations. You just accept whatever to happen as the score

I mostly feel positive when gambling, with this emotion, I believe that when I have this kind of emotion, I'm able to attract positive energy that gives me more winnings. It's understandable that OP would feel emotional especially when you see no winnings, I feel the same way too. You can take breaks when you feel distress when gambling, Op you should always prioritize your well-being. It's important that we should see gambling as a way of entertainment, just simply enjoy the game, and have positive energy or emotion.

Yes I think it's a great idea to try out new and different games, because you might never just know if the next game you're scared to try is gon be the one that's gon give you that amazing win you've been seeking for. Variety they say is what spices life up. Trying new games can also make to make your gaming life a lot more interesting because I know that even if you don't say it, you might get bored sometimes playing just one game every single time.

I use the games I master to profit. If they've lost their fun, it means I don't want to make money/have fun. At least that's how I'm seeing this example you gave.

Excitement is often in the very start of the session and after that usually only it boils down to not so good feelings most of the time as we end up losing in our gambling session.The very few times we win the excitement feeling continues long after we have ended our gambling session,the only problem is we get to experience such happening in extremely rare cases.So therefore I think that the people who want to gamble especially slot machines to take the time and play a couple of hours in demo mode the slot they are about to start playing for real,this way they will get a better understanding and can also see the maximum amount of spins needed for the bonus round to be on screen.

Actually it's very true that almost every gambler do experience this feeling when gambling, it could be that they are either happy or they are sad about their situations as at the moment when they are gambling, just like every other things, when you are succeeding, you feel happy and excited and when you are loosing you feel other wise so it's very common and usual amongst, almost everyone knows and it's not just with gamblers alone.

The feeling when you loose is usually not all that good even if the amount you are loosing isn't much but then there's this feeling that comes with the fact that you lost, to some it challenges their prowess in gambling and to the others it makes them feel they are beginning to fail at gambling so they definitely not feel happy even if it's that which they can afford to loose but then it's safer and better you are losing what you can afford to lose than you loosing a huge amount and and the end of the day you have nothing to fall back to and could get into possible depression, that will be very u healthy and sad to whosoever it is that's been affected.

Even though you are focused on one game, be very careful with the huge amount of money you are using to play that game at the moment because, that is what is causing people not to be happy when they are playing game because they feel that using huge amount of money to play the game that will bring them win.

I don't think we have master in gambling because there is no way you will stay on gambling through out the week without experience lost from the gambling center because, there are some games that will make you not to win base on their poor performance at that particular game.

You are right because sometimes so many people do play one particular game and they don't have a changes of game, so I think that is good for someone to at least not partake in one particular game and also make some changes to check and they talk compare the differences so that tomorrow it cannot the difference is between them, it is also like gambling in one particular platform that will not give you a full confidence or a comfort when you continue to lose or when you lose so many times at least you need to experience another people's platform so that you can know what to say concerning platforms that is how game is all about you cannot based on you mastered one particular game and you continue to play it serial so I don't think that is good advice for we know to make her changes for experience another one.

That's such a fact  If we don't win, it means we are going to lose and one should know this, of course, since there are only two outcomes when it comes to gambling games. You can barely find games where there is possibly a draw in a bet, it sometimes happens with card games where you are playing Hi-Lo and stuff and maybe there are the same cards on both sides and the bet is drawn,  but that's a different thing.
Gambling can be fun but only if one keeps it that way. If you get into a casino with the aim of winning a lot of money, the experience wouldn't stay fun if you start losing because you will be disappointed since you had different expectations, you wanted to win but now you are losing.
If you get into the casino with the aim of having fun, the wins and losses will entertain you and you will exit with a smile even if you didn't manage to win anything.

It is not peculiar to you my dear Gold, it is normal to experience some changes in your mood when you are actively engaged in gambling. For instance, there is a special feeling of joy when there is winning and some feeling of disappointment when there is loss. No matter how well we try to pretend that losses are good, it feels a little bad when we lose our money. These feelings are intensified when either of the scenarios happens consistently; if it is winning that happens consistently, the joy is unmatched and can somehow lead to complacency. On the other hand, if it is losses that is prolonged, the pain can lead to depression if not managed. So the concern is what changes are you noticing? Are they as a result of consistent losses?  Whatever be the case, you must know that it is normal to have those feelings as a consistent gambler.

As a gambler setting a limits for oneself is extremely important because when you don't have limits you makes you spend your money unnecessarily where you keep funding account after lost, most times gambler won't have that idea they are fighting back to recover their money. To my greatest knowledge winning is not something that is always regular or common in casino's but gamblers think is that easily to win and again this reminds me about people saying that casino's do accumulates bettors funds and at some point in time they will released that money to  the gambler without gambler's knowledge to understand that it was their fund they have losing all those period of gambling.

It's best if you can try other games, it may feel uncomfortable at first, but slowly it will become fun, you just focus on one game and try to win the game because you feel you have mastered it, try a game you've never played before. play
