Topic: Gambling is not only about winning and losing, but about psychological control - page 5. (Read 2033 times)

Personally, I believe that gambling is addictive; it has the possibility to make someone lose self-control, but it can only happen if the person allows himself or herself to become enveloped with the urge to the extent that they cannot even get away from it again or to the extent that they can no longer make proper decisions toward bankroll management. I think that before someone can be able to gamble responsibly without developing some psychological problems, they have to set a certain rule for themselves, and the rule can help guide them when they are making the wrong decision. 

Yes, emotion is real in both gambling and trading, and if you can't tame them, they will surely control you and make sure they ruin you. This is why experience is important as you who have been dealt with by the blow of emotion would know that next time you need to prepare better for it. The psychological aspect of gambling is so important and till today many are still unable to put it under control, and hence the reason for their woes.

Whether you are a newbie or an experienced gambler, it doesn't matter, if it continues unabated, the result can't change miraculously. And as for your case where you have the self-realization that at times you are gambling under emotion, the antidote is simple, wherever you want to gamble, just ask yourself a sincere question before pressing that button if you are actually doing what you want to do or what emotion is pushing you to do. I believe the sincere answer to that will always be a way you admit to yourself to enable you to show positive restraint at that time.

Indeed, you will have a psychological battle aside from battling with the house, whether you are winning or losing. As a gambler for years, it is still very hard to control my emotions. Once you get carried away, no matter which side you are on, it will affect you psychologically, even if you don't admit it. This is especially true if you are chasing a quota or there is something you need to buy. It's really hard to stay focused.

Gambling is just for fun but some people who gets their luck can wins much money and hit the jackpot. But other people can't chase the wins because they don't have the same luck so they must aware that gambling can eat their money. People will only mess up their life if they can't control their gambling activities because they will lose much money without having a big chance to wins the money.

Those people will still curious with the winning and will trying to playing gambling more often than before. If they can't control themselves, they will only gets tempts every time they playing gambling because they will thinks that their chance to wins is on the way but the truth is they still difficult to wins. That's why if you wants to playing gambling, you must have good control so you will not mess up your life by getting lose much money. If they wins the money, they must not tempting to chase more winning instead just enjoy their money by withdrawing the money and use it for their life.

I also agree with the fact that this influencer is one of the reasons why online casinos are so popular among youth these days. Social media is a place where they find peace and joy, and this influencer turns their normal page into advertising for all of these online casinos, not limiting the age limit to whom can see it or who cannot view such content. 
 
Not all governments allow and permit gambling-related content to be promoted online where their citizens can see it. I have read of such, and anyone found guilty will face punishment based on their law. Gambling is legal in that place, but this law is said to reduce how people get into gambling so easily because of how the influencers parade it.

Would it sound vague to tag gambling a mental battle for players? Psychological it is indeed an endless emotional struggle. Mentally, players have a tendency of justifying what's wrong to become right, thereby, creating room to repeat similar mistakes. This pattern of habit is significantly taking over a collosal amount of every player's psychology to engender lack of control and loss of funds. Which enables easy difficulty in maintaining what you said about wagering money one is able to lose. It's trivially easy to forget this while on a gambling session. An intrinsic mental control have taken over, and a player must apply mental strength to bend the impulse towards his own will.

It's not difficult to them anymore when it has become their bread and butter. They know that ins and outs and even the sides of it, they understand the risk that it contains upon choosing to gamble and do it as a means of their source of income. It's true that there are other means but it is one reality that there are people that chose to become full time gamblers whether through casino games, playing poker and sports betting. And don't mind them about the risk and having fun, they're even having more fun than us. 

Losing is part of it and they are aware of it. They have to be a full time gambler because that's what their will wants and that's the profession they chose to be. You can check some of them through googling the lives of those pro gamblers or even not pro but just someone who's lowkey a gambler and went doing full time.

Maybe yes, but in any case I quite doubt that any of them can really make a lot of money gambling in the long run, unless they are people who own casinos and make a lot of profit without having to get involved in the games. Basically there is no long-term success in gambling, especially regarding winning, because everything happens by chance, and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will always be able to win there, and so this is why we are always advised to only gamble with intention. and for entertainment purposes only, because as you said, we will not experience emotions that are too significant along with other impacts that can destroy all aspects of life.

I think the reason why it is common for beginner to always make mistakes in gambling is because, most people don't even have orientation in gambling and by the time they go into gambling they make mistakes which they will learn from to pattern their own gambling life style. 
Gambling for not a good reason can also be à problem to gamblers and thus has always be challenging to gamblers. Some people gamble to win but this same set of people that gamble to win , some are very desperate to win by all means. While some people gamble because of emotions may be to recover their lost money. The most important thing about gambling is for every gambling to know why they are gambling and it should be for a good reason.

It is a fact, at least in trading you know that it will not include any kind of advantage of something, Except that there are brokers or exchanges that can Manipulate certain movements to make some traders lose even though that is very delicate , but in itself , there are Always ways that our Decisions are those that Direct the course of operations, but in the game everything is more focused on the luck we have at that moment, and it is already a greater risk , I have urged many colleagues to make my strategy, to have or risk the Money that we are willing to lose and there things or the way of seeing the game Changes.

Gambling was never intended for you to make money but rather this was created for the sake of fun and entertainment and this is where people do mess up their lives just because they've been expecting on something
like making money and this is why they do lose control on the time or moment that they would be playing gambling. People do really lost their control on the time or moment that they will really be having that kind of approach on which its really very wrong. This is why gambling business is really that profitable due to this very common behavior of most gamblers, they are hoping for money making or simply with profits on which on the moment that they would be losing then this is the moment that they would really be that become desperate on which we know that this is something not really recommended on doing so.

On the moment that you do play just for the sake of fun and not wanting money or winnings which actually not that true because on the moment that people would be doing gambling
then of course we do have that kind of projection that we wanting on making money and this is something that we should really be baring up into our minds.
On the moment that you do find yourself having that good control then gambling wont really be able to mess up your life on.

But they will difficult to make money from gambling so they should know that they don't have to do like that instead search for other ways to make money. They will have more chances to make money from other ways and generate stable income from their job and they can still playing gambling from their salary. That will be good for them as they can still have fun from gambling while they can earn money from their salary.

Someone don't have to be a full time gambler but they need to control themselves when playing gambling so they will not gets a big lose. When they lose, they can feels their emotions high and that can attract them doing some stupid things that can cause them lose more money. However, they must realizes that playing gambling needs to have good control to avoids the lose so they can enjoy the gambling games as an entertainment.

This is always being said and known to the most of us. But even so, gambling is also a means for the others who have been full time gamblers as a way to make money for them. So, the majority is doing it as a way to have fun and that's always the tip that we hear and used to say. How many are probably listening to that when they're not full time gamblers? I don't know, one don't have to be a full time gambler for them to treat it as a way to make money but as you've said, do it in moderation and doing it for fun won't hurt your emotions whenever you're losing.

As long as you can doing it seriously, you can controls yourself better and will not falls into temptation. You know that the temptation will always be there and attract gamblers to go deeper in gambling but you will not gets tempts because you know how to treat gambling. You will always control yourself in gambling by using many ways to prevents the temptation makes you deeper in gambling because you don't wants to see the bad effects happens to you.

Gambling is just for fun. That's what you always remember and you will not break your rules because that's the only thing that can save you from the gambling addiction and other problem from gambling. Gambling is an entertainment but behind of that have a risks that we must avoids so that's why we must always aware and limiting ourselves in gambling.

It is not easy, but it is possible if we dedicate ourselves to doing it seriously. It is just our mind driving us into falling into temptation, but if we don't let it happen from the start, that won't get much worse.

Losing control of our gambling habits is also losing control of our minds. Stress could also lead to such a situation, which is why we should not take gambling seriously and focus, instead just using it as our pastime. If we can limit our time and money spent, it is not difficult to keep our gambling habits controlled.

Generally, the results depend on our way of gambling. If we are responsible, then everything is fine.

Having the ability to control your emotions will help you alot as a gamblers because when you can not control your emotions you can easily be influenced by your results. When you gamble and win, you might want to try your luck again and this is when we experienced losses that might turn us into addicts as we start trying to win again. Not being capable of controlling your emotions will also make you not to be capable of managing your money very well. For some gamblers, their mistakes is how they manage the money that they are winning from gambling and not that it is not favouring them. As you can manage your money, you would not be gambling every time and increasing the possibility of you losing. You will have other sources of income and would not have to be relying on gambling for money. Gambling addicts are those that can control their emotions and not those that lose all the time because many gamblers also lose but not all are addicts.

       -      What you are saying is true, especially in your age where online casinos are very easy for anyone to access because of the amazing influencers promoting online casinos on YouTube and Facebook.

Influencers who don't care—if even a child sees what they are doing—can promote gambling; the government should be held accountable. The problem is that our government allows these influencers, so who dares to promote?

Come on . With this judgment, you can safely add yourself to the society of addicted people, since they are the ones who need a dose of dopamine, for which they play. I will still really believe that it is the result that is important to you, not just participation. According to my observation, those who cannot control their emotions make more rash bets and thus lose more often. A cool head and the ability to stop in time are more characteristic of adults and experienced people who have made mistakes before and have gained good life experience.

Controlling emotions is one of the biggest challenges in gambling and any other activity. People who are inexperienced in gambling and cannot control their emotions are the most likely to lose. If a new gambler wins a gambling bet and becomes overly greedy, he must make gambling losses only because of the excessive greed. So gambling is not only a place of profit or loss but gambling is a place of emotion control. If you can control your emotions, you can get a better result from gambling and if you can't control your emotions, you will have to face any unwanted situation at any time.

I started making much progress in my gambling when I stared focusing on how to manage my financial commitment to gambling and not just the amount I plan to win. Each time I sit to analyze game to gamble, my major consideration is usually how much I would be willing to put in that will not drain me psychologically and when that amount is known, the next step will be how not to lose my entire capital. This way, I will segment my bets in order of risk and always place that high probability bet that will return my capital. I lost all my best yesterday but my safe bet which was direct win for Fortaleza/CE and São Paulo/SP and I was able to win this and recover my capital. Normally I play more on goals but as the European season have not started, I do play direct wins.

In summary, being able to understand that nothing is certain and planning accordingly is a psychological game and the key to success in gambling.
