Topic: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? - page 8. (Read 1021 times)

Why would anyone want to gamble under pressure? While many of us engage in gambling for the enjoyment it brings, there's also the chance of earning something along the way. However, when you gamble under pressure, the risk of making poor decisions or betting on games you don't fully understand increases.Gambling is ideally an activity for relaxed moments. The only pressure I typically experience is when I know I'm on a losing streak but still feel tempted to continue, hoping for a turnaround in the next round. This is when tension sets in, and after another loss, you face a pivotal moment, deciding whether to halt or keep trying.

Gambling under pressure can lead to unexpected and significant losses. It's important to recognize these moments of tension, evaluate the situation objectively, and make informed decisions about whether to continue or take a break. This way, you can safeguard yourself from losses beyond your initial expectations.

well, in my case it was only in the first few days that I got involved with gambling and that I was anxious when I made a bet and after seeing the result of the bet when it was a defeat I felt very sad, I was disappointed with myself for not having been capable of winning, but as time passed and I had many defeats I started to no longer feel anxious every time I made a bet, I also started to not feel joy or sadness when I lost or won a bet. Over time I realized that in the casino a person must play with money that they can afford to lose and when they do that, then they will not be constantly under pressure, when they put money into a game the person will know that in case they lose , that won't be a problem

he will be able to put in more money and he will continue playing, as if she had taken money and went to the cinema or beach or restaurant and when the person pays there is no return for the money they paid. This is how people should look at gambling as just something that will provide them with fun. Now when we have cases of people who insist on looking at gambling as a source of constant income, then the end of these types of people is becoming addicted or having serious health problems. I always say that people over 60 should not get involved in gambling because the risk of contracting heart disease is much greater. In recent days I have heard about stories of people over 60 who have caught borrowed money and used it to gamble and lost everything, as they no longer had the means to repay the loan, so they committed suicide

Like you have said, the result is always different for every other person. Some people don't always do well under tension; even in gambling, if you are really tensed, you might not make the right decision.

The results from gambling are not always certain; you may be expecting to win and end up losing, and vice versa. You may also be under tension, like you said, and make a bet that you will end up winning or losing.

Just like you have said that sometimes you may win, that means that it's not always every time you do win, and that because you are not in tension all the time, it's because you cannot be accurate in predicting a game all the time. That moment you didn't expect to win may be when you win.

I guess sometimes it happens to me, it's one those days you know where it's best if I do what I have to when it comes to it, now that I've read about this thread, I'm starting to think that this does happen to me a lot of times when I'm gambling especially with blackjack when I'm at the number where I could hit a 21 or bust and know that I have a high likelihood that I would win against the house, those are the times that I feel like I'm pressured a lot because there's timers on whether you want another or you'll stay.

We cannot take out the pressure it is normal for gamblers to feel the pressure, gambling is a roller coaster emotional game, it happens when our mindset gears up on winning, sometimes there are positive results but most of the time it's negative, risks and tensions are part of gambling so if you do not cultivate a good mindset you will up very depress.
In my experience with gambling, I have taken a lot of risks and the results are not good, I lose a lot of money taking a lot of risks but it's a learning experience for me, if you're going to take a risk be sure you are calm and not full of tension because it will result to negative results, you're luck if you take the risk feeling full of tension and still won.

In gambling, there are losses there are wins, and vice versa there is joy and there is sadness, it all depends on how we respond to each result of the bet we make.
I know that even though say gamble just for fun, when make mistake that results in big loss will still feel sadness or disappointment, not everyone will be truly happy with the bad results from gambling.
But we gamble just for fun and when loss occurs, it is just feeling and there is no need to try to recover from it.
This is clearly different for those who have the goal of making money, so when they lose big, apart from feeling sadness and disappointment, they will also make several efforts to recover the loss.
In gambling, there is often pressure which may make gamblers feel doubtful in making the decision to bet, but this is indeed condition that makes it difficult for anyone.
I myself, in conditions like this, would choose to leave the gambling site and forget about betting and the risks I might take when betting, this would be much better than forcing something that shouldn't be done.

I usually don't gamble under pressure because aside from risking your money it also has risk psychologically. Though this depends on how you deal with that pressure. But let me ask you this, are you having fun gambling under pressure? Because I personally don't like gambling like that as it's weird.

You should always try to limit your risk - even if you're under pressure. Gambling is always about risk - but why take unnecessary risks? There are plenty of people who like to tickle nerves - but a few moments should not make you pay for it for the rest of your life (it all depends on the degree of debt).

People do gamble because of sudden situations, this have happened many times around me, like someone who needed money to take his mother to the hospital, the bills was so much that he decided to give gambling a try, since no one wanted to help him, luckily he won some money and he cried bitterly, he said he knew he could lose the money but something kept telling him to try.

Situations do make people engage in things they are not into at all, when pressure arises, humans can do anything depending how the level of the pressure, may we not know what it feels like to have no choice than to do something even if we don't feel like, the thought of losing something very darely to you can bring tense into your body and you won't hesitate to make some decisions.

According to an existing theory, many people have the impulse to go all-in when almost everything was lost.

For example, if someone lost let's say 90% of his money, it seems that there are many chances for him to bet the remaining 10% trying to recover from the loss (even in the cases where that 10% makes the difference between positive balance and default) even if the chances to win are very low, because he will be focused in the possibility of a comeback.

On the other hand, someone who didn't lose any money and is offered a chance of 90% of winning will hesitate (he will focus on the possibility of losing all his money).

In terms of probability both behaviors are not rational, but we aren't always reasonable, are we? so I guess that there are many stories about people who, under stress, went all-in and won, because we could say that it is somehow natural and many people behave like that; but we shouldn't forget that the majority don't win.

Gambling comes from the greed of humans and while games are going on tension builds up. One leads to another and the losses will lead to more tension - so its a vicious cycle indeed.

But the tension will not guarantee that you will win the next bet. Instead you are running the same odds and will likely lose again. While this might not be fun for some, a few addicted gamblers fake this as fun to cover up their shame.

Hence it is never worth taking a risk unless you have some skill on the game or you have some insider news. Usually both of these are a big no, so the safest way is not to gamble.

when you have nothing in your pocket, everything you do is under pressure. you live with your family without something to contribute, you gonna have some issues to solve. you gotta have something to contribute like paying a water bill or the internet connection bill at least.

losing in the casino will bring more pressure hanging on your shoulder. i think i would rather not bet when i'm not sure to win. but i did gamble at a billard table with just a promise to pay. if i lost the game and they found out i had no money, i might just be in a big trouble. luckily i won.

Pressure or tension can bring or lead to different outcomes. Tension can make you not to overthink your options or chances  when gambling. Sometimes overthinking can be an enemy to luck based games. Some gamblers will tell you that they won from gambling on some days that they expected it less.

Pressure or tension can also cause errors and make a gambler make the wrong pick in gambling.

Not all gamblers. These are gamblers that are risking too much money. If you use small amount of money to be gambling, you will be losing and still be happy and not sad nor tensed.

Some gamblers may be losing and continue gambling and gain the money back, that is because they are just lucky because the time a gambler is chasing loss is when they are most vulnerable to lose more. It is not good to chase losses when gambling.

Responsible gamblers are usually much calmer when gambling, so there is no feeling of tension, let alone pressure that makes them feel uncomfortable, gambling must be truly enjoyed, don't always think and obsess, the end result will be good because gambling is unpredictable, luck will determine the outcome. Finally, never take the risk of playing irresponsibly, let alone feel pressure when gambling.

Always remember that gambling should be part of entertainment that can make anyone have fun when gambling, don't think that risk is something scary because that is part of gambling too, for example when you win you have to be prepared to lose and if you want to be successful then you have to be prepared to fail that's how it works, play and enjoy gambling it will all seem better.

First of all the choice is yours, you can choose how you want to be treated in this field, but be honest that mistakes are also yours, when people only like to think about winning but don't like the feeling of losing. I learned a few things in life, joy comes from ourselves and not from external things that are active, I am always confident that with gambling it is fun, yes even when losing I will still be happy because that is the experience of life, not to make yourself miserable by choosing suffering. Perhaps it is from the point of view that we receive problems and respond to them in our own ways, but it is true that the gambling environment has many problems, when from the beginning if we understand them more closely, it is in the game our lives are also real bets. It can be said that the casino is a winner for players, but if players only know the story of making money, they will only stop having fun with victories.

Gambling under pressure is not a healthy practice because when you gamble under pressure, you can make wrong decisions that will lead to a big loss, and the only way one can gamble under pressure is when that gambler is chasing his loss. It might work for you, doesn't mean it worked, it was just that you were lucky to win while you were chasing your loss.

I only gamble when I am have and in a good mood because I want to have fun and ease myself from the week stress at work. Also if you only gamble with a little amount, I don't see why you will be under pressure when losing. It is better to quit the game when I am under pressure.

I don't think that the pressure or stress we experience when gambling is anything unique to gambling. Life itself has a lot of pressure, that comes from our work, problems at home, health issues or any other form of activities that involve money and risk. For example, a trader will be very used to dealing under pressure and has mechanism to not be affected by it severely. For me the best approach to gambling is to look at it as a form of entertainment. I try to have fund and a good time, if things get to intense I will just quit for the night and try again another day. That's the good thing about gambling, the games are always the same and will be around 24/7. There is no need to spend all day at the casino, we can just spread our time out over a week or two.

i used to be like that too where i bet more when i was under high tension when playing. it's like an addiction i think and i enjoy being in that position, and i did it a few times when i felt that i needed more money. but honestly, it's like a disease that will destroy you over time because it will make you more wasteful and unable to control yourself. luckily i'm not like that anymore, because i think that it's not worth it to gamble more especially when under pressure.

Well, I hardly will gamble while under pressure, I mean, I have never done it and maybe I will never do it, and this is not to say that I do not slip into pressure when already in the middle of gambling, this has happened to me on several occasions and to be honest, the very many times I can still remember, that gambling session never ends well, or as expected, as I always end up playing to fast and losing more than I budgeted for.

Gambling under pressure mostly happens to me when am in the middle of gambling, and on the losing side, something very important came up that would require me to leave that gambling to attend to that that just came up, and because I am losing, I am eager to win atleast, some of the money I've lost before leaving the game, so, I start playing fast, and if the losing continues, pressure sets in and at the end of the day, I find myself forcefully leaving the game in anger.

Gambling under pressure is not fun at all, it's not entertaining, Infact, it's the direct opposite and fun or entertainment, and though there is a slight chance that one could still end up winning, most gamblers still end in huge loses while playing under this condition.
