Topic: Does gambling excites you ? - page 13. (Read 2661 times)

However, I think that losing a large amount of money that can make you sad is quite unlikely to happen if you are basically a gambler who comes with the goal of entertainment or fun which when your goal is nothing more than fun then obviously when you get the fun and enjoyment then it will not be difficult for you to stop in time which can prevent you from losing a large amount of money.

I understand that there is absolutely no joy when you lose money, but this is gambling which is always about winning or losing, which means that there should be no sadness when you are in a losing situation but you should be able to accept and understand that losing is part of gambling, simply put if you don't want to lose money in any amount and no matter how small then you better not gamble, as simple as that.

The one who considers gambling as an opportunity to make a quick buck either does not understand anything about gambling, or is a professional in this area. In fact, gamblers who enjoy the game itself is not so much. Most gamblers come to the casino again and again because of the opportunity to find hope for a big win. Personally, I have long felt that I gamble for this very hope.

Gambling is quite different from business or company work, but money drives most people to do their jobs, same as gamblers. Even in the corporate world, money shouldn't be the drive. If a person doesn't like his work, he's meant to stop it. Another will show up, but due to fear of not getting another job, most people will remain in a toxic working environment for money. They quickly forget about their emotional and mental health, because they think without money, they won't clear their bills and debts. Gamblers also think like most workers who are in this condition. They understand deep down, gambling profusely isn't right, but for the hope of winning money, they'll go ahead to try gambling against their will.

You'd never expect such a gambler to be excited, even when he wins, his emotions have been deterred from excitement, without his consent. The fact that people focus on what they believe and forget about themselves, is putting lots of people into an emotional meltdown. When the whole program, work, or gambling drive is over, the money will finish, but the emotional problem it leaves on the player will stick around for a long time. His close family or kids could also suffer from this, because of the often mood swings from their Father, husband, wife, or brother. Hence, neglecting our mental health for the sake of money is not right. The whole money could go down in treating the affected person.

Hi,

Gambling is exciting, the suspense, the passion and the Hope that your calculative predictions will come through is actually fun especially football betting. If bet is being played for fun and the player have passion for the sports it’s really exciting and stir a lot of tensions. However there is limit to gambling, it’s advisable to bet what you are willing to loose. If a player knows how to tame greed and knows when to stop either winning or loosing, such gambler risk management is high. Gamble is a game of being calculative but most times luck also determines the outcome.

Well, as someone who is a gambler and you'd feel the excitement is because you want to do it. And it is a normal feeling when a gambler is doing it at all times.

But the sad part there is when you've been losing more and even you're so excited, that's cutting the excitement that you're feeling and you are having hard time to recover those losses.

Most gamblers want to win but it is not going to happen as many of us are going to lose no matter what.

As long as you understand what gambling is, and you are gambling with a little amount of money, you must enjoy the fun, because it is a game that you love playing and have knowledge on. It is the excitement that makes you always chose gambling as a means of entertaining g yourself, than doing other things.

People that don't enjoy the fun and get excited, are those who don't understand gambling, and they think it is a get rich quick scheme. This will make them make wrong decisions and use huge amount of money to gamble that would cause them pains. Whatever causes you pain brings sorrow and not happiness.

So many gamblers often gets caught up in the cycle of prioritizing winning money when they gamble and this makes them lose sight of every other thing that matters and they fail to remember one of the most important facts to remember as a gambler, which the fact that one should never prioritize making profit over the thrill and fun gambling has to offer, because that should actually be your number one motive. And I observe this also makes them erase the possibilities of losing because they're so very desperate to win which compels them to take quite enormous risks, sometimes risks they at are too big for them to bear. It appear you sure did learn from your past experience and also gained a healthy and the right perspective and approach to gambling. If most gamblers could also come to this realization, then there'd be less cases of gambling addiction.

Addiction depends on how a person treats his gambling, but we agree with what you said in this discussion. after all, gambling is for us to enjoy, not to be something other than that. especially, if it turns into bad things. The point is, excitement is part of what we feel when going to, or when starting a gambling session. a normal thing for us gamblers. On the other hand, just imagine, if we didn't have the enthusiasm when gambling. is it exhilarating, does it make us enjoy every session. of course not at all, that's why we do it with enthusiasm. Moreover, if we have prepared in advance the type of game or bet that we will play. whether it's casino games, such as slots, blackjack and the like. it could also be in sports, and so on.

Almost the average gambler or people who enjoy this hobby have a great sense of enthusiasm when they are about to do or are in gambling mode. The important point is, don't let this pleasure become a problem when the game doesn't match our expectations. Finally, if it does not meet expectations, involve self-control so that other impacts can affect something that is detrimental even though it is something bigger. make enthusiasm and have fun part of the entertainment, the rest don't focus too much on winning. That way, we will enjoy it both in winning sessions and in losing sessions. ideally, know the limits of what we can afford. Well, we agree with what you said in this post.

Yes, I also know this difference because I tried to play for the first time a long time ago and was naive, and of course my main goal was to earn money. In this case, there is a lot of emotional stress, and every loss affects our mental health. It’s as if we don’t give ourselves the right to lose, although prohibiting ourselves from losing is sheer stupidity. Betting, poker, slots, casino, losing is a completely normal outcome. In general, I realized in time and finished with it.

But after some time, I tried to play again and I no longer had such an urgent need for money, I went in to bet on hockey and football for fun. I am a huge difference, I was completely relaxed and did not set a goal for myself. If I win, I would be happy, but if not, then I let go of this situation and the money I bet with great ease. Given all this, I continue to bet, but only for fun. For anyone who has not experienced this, I advise you to look at it from a different angle.

For people who are gambling or playing for fun, the game surely have to be exciting, or else, the major purpose or reason for their participation in gambling is totally and absolutely defeated, and I believe such an experience won't encourage such a person to continue to gamble since it doesn't offer or give them that which they want.

But for someone who is gambling majorly to make money, I  do not think that gaming excitement really matter, since all they care about Is winning and making money, they only excitement for them is when they win and make profit, it's like someone who is working a day job in a company that he or she hates, or hates the job, but he or she still have to wake up early every blessed day to prepare and go to that job, what is the motivation?
The motivation is simple, money., for the person knows that at the end of the month, he or she is gonna get paid, that alone serves as a motivation to keep going to the job everyday, not because he or she is excited about the job, but for them, it's just simply all about the money.

It will vary a lot from person to person how happy they get from gambling
What is the size of the dopamine hit and how they experiences go in general to determine if they’ll keep gambling or not
A huge number of possibilities
But if it’s good for them that’s nice. Celebration!

Well, I will assume that your comment is solely for those who are gambling solely for fun, for like I've said before and will always say, there is nothing like fun when it comes to losing money, I've gambled for money, and I've also gambled for fun, and I can tell you that there is a very big difference.

When gambling for fun, mostly with friends and so on, one can lose alot of money and still be very happy, laughing and drinking like nothing happened, this is actually what and how gambling is supposed to make us feel, but unfortunately, we most of the time have needs, and greed sets in, we sometimes find ourselves playing for cash instead of for fun, and when ever we are playing for cash, I can tell you for sure that, losing money hurts, most especially, when we lose money we never planned or expected to lose, some people end up taking drastic decisions like suicide, all because of loses encountered in the of gambling.

When you've felt the joy as you gamble and they're good experiences because as you've said, being colorful means that you've got a good day from doing it.

While some slips like having bad beats and bad day is part of it. But typically, when you've experienced happy gambling whether got more wins or losses, it doesn't matter to you.

Because that feeling is like a drug that you want to feel again but moving on, if it's done too much can cause addiction.

So many gamblers have seen gambling as part of what makes their day a colorful one regardless of whether they win or not, gambling already have been seen as a means of having fun, it brings about exciting moments altogether, we gambles and also enjoy doing it because we are best at what we do, some also target special days or seasons for their gambling experience in a new dimension just as we have with the easter season whereby you discovered that some gamblers already planned on this occasion how they could gamble at the course of the celebration.

But sometimes there are people who gamble with money that they cannot afford to account for, especially if they lose at the end of the session, especially gamblers who come with the intention of earning like gambling addicts who always prioritize winning over the entertainment aspect and I think the majority of gamblers are like that. The situation will be different if basically your favorite team wins which means you have also said that there is a double win, or that means besides you are happy because your pride team wins on the other hand you also managed to get some money for your decision to support while betting. Every gambler has a chance of winning in gambling which may be the difference is only in terms of the amount of winnings and the time when you get the winnings, but it is quite difficult to be able to really be in a situation where losing is not a big problem for you, especially here you bet while supporting your pride team which if it turns out that the result loses then there will be two disappointments that you feel, and I don't think there are many people who manage to keep themselves well in such a situation.

Basically, those who know the level of gambling addiction or not are ourselves or our closest family because gambling activities that are addictive are usually not capable of being responsible when spending money on gambling. Imagine if we were involved in gambling and were unable to control the amount of money we spent gambling, then the people closest to us would definitely find out about our involvement in gambling, because we would behave unnaturally as usual.

You understand what it means to be an irresponsible person when involved in gambling. If not, look for someone involved in gambling with inconsistent money control skills and usually they spend money in an unreasonable way in gambling. That's why people categorize them as engaging in irresponsible gambling because they are unable to control themselves when gambling.

Your question is not general instead this is purely for gamblers , excitement comes from the
feeling that you will gain or gather better things but in gambling? indeed the feeling is like yours that
you are excited to LOSE as we knew that in gambling you only has maximum of 20% to win
and the 80% is for the gambling owner to take from you meaning I will never be excited to lose.

What happens when you don't win, or during a penalty shootout in a football match? I get nervous in a football match if an opposing team wins a penalty shoot-out. Those few moments of contemplation whether he scores or not, agitates everyone including myself. But sport gambling isn't my thing, I prefer casino, slot games. It allows me the opportunity to realize my mistakes earlier. In sports, the excitement only arrives when you the game comes to an end, as you said. But, slot games, could keep me happy for as long as I want. Not minding how early those results arrive. It's quite fun to know the results, earlier, and, then restructure my next move.

I agree with you, the excitement can never be stable as the outcomes of gambling are never the same too so all these contributes to the instability of the excitement and the emotions that comes with gambling,  I don't actually gamble with the mindset that I want to get excitement off gambling rather I gamble because I probably feel like it and probably want to have fun which in some cases results in excitements too.

If you get excited at gambling initially, there are chances you may not continue in such excitement again after awhile because you must have lost some funds at that point and just want to recover probably but may not be able to because you are at that point wanting to by almost all means get to  recover your funds so your mindset may turn out not in line with my line of taught too, except you see gambling as just fun and gets excited in the fact that you are about to make some stake and just have fun or probably something.

There's this excitement that can come with the fact that you placed a bet on your tea and they happen to be winning, I'm very sure there will be massive excitement but then if they happen to loose then that will turn out otherwise because you have lost your funds and aswell your team has lost the game too which is most definitely not going to bring any form of happiness or excitement to you at that point.

In a manner of speaking, yes it does.

Although I know I could get the same adrenaline rush from playing other types of games, sometimes the chill atmosphere of playing these games outweigh the intensity of let's say, playing basketball outside or maybe even hopping on a game with your friends to play some competitive CS, Valorant, Fortnite or LoL. Although I would like to point out that even though I get excited playing casino games, I don't really look forward to it every second of the day or even when I'm scheduled to gamble. Part of it was due to the fact that I instilled some massive discipline upon myself to make sure I don't fall off the deep-end again, and another was due to the notion that I don't think of gambling as the sole source of excitement and happiness in my life. It's nothing more but a mere alternative for when the regular stuff I do to have fun just isn't available or well, fun.

With that I think you guys should take a page out of my book, it's possible to gamble and have fun, or be excited about gambling without looking forward to earn, matter of fact, you should instill these logics to yourself and I promise you, your games will be much more fulfilling and less stressful.
