this top issues folks are facing in gambling , due to lack of self-control and poor emotion management if one can work on themselves inorder to avoid being a victim of such (losing all their money due to greed), he or she has already done a good work minimising the risk in gambling, because most folks losses where due to such act of letting their emotions to get the best of them which lead gambling without knowing to stop .

I know it won`t be easy for one to fight against such urge but still we should try our best to suppress it and it won`t help in gambling alone but in other part of lives.
We know that will happen to those who doesn't have good control when playing gambling so they will facing the lose in gambling. They will not accept the reality of the lose from gambling and makes them keeps playing gambling. If they still don't care with what happens to them, they will gets addicted to gambling immediately and will not have a chance to solve the gambling addiction.

It won't be easy for fight against that urge but we must keeps trying to prevents that happens to us. We have a power to prevents and avoids the temptation from gambling so we can stay away from gambling if we thinks that we almost gets tempts. We must take care of ourselves by always controlling our emotion and everything so we don't gets any problem from gambling.

In any field, beginners make more mistakes compared to experienced users and gambling is no exception. The main thing is that you have come to this understanding and control yourself. I too have spent a lot of money on the way to this realization.

It sometimes seems to me that I play gambling not only for the sake of winning, but because of emotions. I noticed that you can get similar emotions in trading, but in gambling you can get them much faster.
Of course, this always happens to beginners because they don't have much experience and really can't organize or determine what to do to minimize any risks.
But there are also many people who have experience but cannot learn and are unable to understand everything that has happened, they still make mistakes quite often even though there have been many mistakes that have caused bad things to happen before, this cannot be denied because it can found easily.
I think only people who have more advanced thinking and can feel everything can change for the better.

Being emotional and also feeling passionate about success is human attitude, what can prevent this is by controlling yourself and being able to remain calm with full caution.
Anyone can easily have feelings like that, but if they can play calmly and comfortably and don't think about making big efforts to win then emotions will never affect them.

Online casinos are now easily accessible and anyone can create an account and play.
Profits and losses can happen easily.

And at every moment where gambling exerts psychological pressure that makes me sometimes unable to control it.

When Win: When a bet or gambling game that we do gets a win, Greed will appear and this will influence a person to keep playing with a higher target.
Even because someone is too greedy to never make a profit and continue to put all their money into gambling, until in the end everything is taken back by gambling.

When losing: Defeat will indeed be a moment that will make a person's mentality and psychology down, and even it will interfere with their psyche.
A deep sense of disappointment due to an unwanted defeat makes a person tend to be more emotional and want to take revenge for the defeat and ultimately make bets and gambling games without any restrictions.

These two moments of winning or losing will be the reason where a person's psychology will be played in a gamble.
Someone really has to know how to manage their emotions so that they don't get into situations they don't even want.
There must be limits and targets that need to be achieved, not only limited to winning and losing but more than that.

you are right and this top issues folks are facing in gambling , due to lack of self-control and poor emotion management if one can work on themselves inorder to avoid being a victim of such (losing all their money due to greed), he or she has already done a good work minimising the risk in gambling, because most folks losses where due to such act of letting their emotions to get the best of them which lead gambling without knowing to stop .

There are people who wins at least every week or monthly while most people hardly see winning for months so this sets of people are those who are likely to act same. But however as you said emotions shouldn't be attached while gambling otherwise it causes more harm to the bettor themselves.
It is very difficult for people to not have some strong emotions towards gambling, whether they could be positive or negative, and this is because people earn money through a great deal of effort, so if they earn money through gambling then I think it is natural they are happy about it, and if they lose it then the opposite happens, and those emotions are precisely what could get a person in trouble as they could get too attached to them, and that is how an addiction could begin.
You are right, whatever that involves money is hardly to remove emotion since happiness is there then there would be sadness as well from gamblers and I am thinking being neutral can also help alot because if someone is not that happy neither too happy it will be good but since money is involved no one can accept to lose huge amount and expect to keep his mouth short on their lost.

You said it, personally I think that when a person plays in a casino their expectations are very high, and that's not bad, it's good, the bad thing is getting excited and not achieving what you were or had planned, apart from getting carried away by emotions and losing a large amount of money, it has happened to me, especially when I was a newbie, I let myself get carried away by emotions and lost a lot of money, then I learned that I had to control myself somehow, and the best way I found is by limiting my money, that's where all suffering ended, of course, if I had 20usd to spend once I spent it I didn't put in more, that requires discipline.

How about us who are always looking for action? Seriously, mate, if my favorite league starts, I can't help but bet on a regular basis. But I can always say to myself that I already have control because I have a bankroll readily available for it.

When I was new, I experienced a lot of mistakes, and I thought I would never gamble anymore due to a lack of discipline. But eventually, after countless lessons learned from those mistakes, everything went well. Now, although I don't win most of the time, I'm still here enjoying gambling. It's all about how we manage ourselves by implementing what we plan.

You are sounding like you are too addicted to gambling but since you do it when your favorite leagues is back, then I will say you are doing it for the familiarity of the league, you know it so much and it gives you confidence to  make predictions when you want to otherwise you will be chasing after money in other leagues. However, I think major leagues, like Premier League, Champions league, Seria A and many other European leagues are played on weekend or once in a week? Or you just played all the games.

There are weeks in a month that I don't gamble and it's not because I don't have the funds to but I get occupied by my work which I'm always happy about. I get scared when people narrates how they love gambling and do it more often. Sometimes, I don't even have time to analyze games. What I do just for the for fun of it is I select a single bet and put money when I know much about the teams playing and it help me relax my ways in gambling.

To me it seems like you are describing that gamblers have a complete lack of control rather than anything else. That no matter if you are winning or losing, you are chasing that urge to trigger those happy chemicals into your brain without understanding what is happening. As with anything else, the first thing you need to do is identify that you have a problem (if you have a problem) and only then you can work on it. If you have picked up a bad and uncontrollable habit - it sounds obvious, but you need to cut it out entirely, because an addiction can often revolve around habits and the bonds they have conditioned in your mind. You need to re-adjust your mentality which takes time and you already established that you cannot control it by playing small amounts.

If not the hardest but actually one of hardest things that you would definitely failed up on which on the moment that you do deal up with gambling on which it is really that hard on having such situation or condition in regarding this aspect because we do know that when it comes to handling money then it do always accompanied with some emotion issues.Why? On the moment that you do have that kind of expectations towards gambling about winning on guaranteed manner then you would be pushing up yourself on playing more and this is one of common issues of most gamblers.

When dealing up with gambling or anything then it would be that significant on having that self control because on the moment that you do find yourself being impulsive then it would really be bringing up that kind of disastrous ending if you won't really be that mindful towards it.This is why it's really that important that you should really know on what you are doing.
The emotional roller coaster accompanying it is not that straightforward. Emotions such fear, greed, hope distort your judgment and cause you to walk a perilous road. It is about the pleasure, the surge of adrenaline, the sense of control, not only about the money. But actual control comes from knowing oneself. For what reason do you tick? Why are you taking such chances? Once you work that out, you will be more qualified to make wise decisions. Dont criticize yourself, then. Dont fix your attention on the losses. Draw lessons from them. Use them to develop and to turn into a better version of yourself. The true prize is that.
It would really be that on a total mix up and this is something that people should really be that careful because if you are someone who doesnt have that good control towards emotions then you would really be ending up on having that kind of bad actions and decisions to be taken or really that because of impulsive reactions. You would of course needing up that kind of psychological control
because once you do failed on doing so then you would really be doing some further actions on which you would be having thoughts that you could win up even more. Winning and losing is
really that a normal part, it is really just that depends on how someone will really be having that kind of control towards their emotion and their mindset on the moment that they are on such condition or situation. This is why it would really be that important that you shouldnt really be losing up your mind and emotion on the moment that you do deal up with gambling on which we know that human
emotions and mindset is always been that powerful in terms of self control.

Something that I consider dangerous, I don't know, but it is in the group of emotions, is that, the impulses that always come between reason, logic, intelligence and greed appears, that is why for me the best thing will always be to control the money that you are willing to lose, there is no other way, control your coins and impulses? there will be some who do it, I admire them, but it is very easy not to do it, so I think I am one to play it safe, I think that as a person, when you have control of things, you do better in life, in the casino, in whatever.

You know to me what I understand here is that most people who are too passionate about making life changing winning are those who are always being found in such situation where emotions engulfed everything they are doing. Anytime they incur any uncalled lost it affects their emotions because they have always channel there mind to particular amount they wanna win, paradventure if they win little it becomes more hurt to them for not staking higher than the amount the hoped at aiming on with this their emotions are always being affected even though they lose they have the same emotional trauma.
A good  gambler know when to stop, don't play with emotion, prediction  is not easy if your lucky to win at times be cool if you lose be cool too, don't depend on gambling as ur oy source of income,  it will drain you down, to me I gamber for fun sometimes I win ,sometimes I lose and i dont feel bad over the losing because I do win too. Anything that involves your hard earn money shouldn't be play with emotion or capital use your head to deal with it.

What you said above is true, self-control when we gamble, when we win or lose in making money, of course it is necessary for a gambler to at least minimize addiction or losses that are much bigger from gambling. Indeed, every gambler when gambling certainly thinks about how to make money from gambling. In my opinion, it is best to gamble when our minds are calm and relaxed. The main and most important thing is to be patient when playing, at least how we see an opportunity to take advantage of, if we use every opportunity well, of course we will win every round.

People have issue controlling their self when it comes to the issue of money and if you don’t know how to control your self you might do things you are not supposed to do, and that is why you see some people even stealing or selling off stuffs just to keep up. People focus to much on winning forgetting that they can also lose and this is for when people focus to much on  winning the problem is we allow ourselves to be consumed by greed and the moment you want to always want to win everything then that is when you will be losing because of the mindset you have is to focused on winning. I gamble almost everyday but I know how I plan my games I don’t just set games with make preparations starting from how much I bet. Then to the number of games I have selected so you need to also know how to make choices when ever we are gambling. Some people don’t plan before they gamble.

I feel not only gambling but also all the tasks where money is involved; our emotions and psychology play an important role in controlling the task. Controlling your emotions and psychology is very important when it comes to gambling. I have seen many people gamble with emotions and later fall into the trap of the bookmakers, hence making losses. Hence, you need to gamble professionally by setting limits and targets. People should treat gambling as equal to trading and should spend money wisely by calculating the risks.
The goal to conquer this is actually to learn how to control your greedy nature because I believe that's basically the cause of all set back that would eventually lead a person to lose after having experiencing winning for some series of games that he played. So many new gambler are victim of this kind of situation and the end result is always regret but all this could be avoided if only the person can actually control their greed.

I always preach this.  I know so many people that "win" yet never take any money out of theor account and quit once they are broke.  You need to preplan what your expectations are and then if you hot your number you have to bail.  It's really tough to leave when you are up hich is why casinos always win.  That's the toughest part of gambling
I think it's not as hard to come out with a win as it is to come out after a loss because when we lose half of our money and we feel like we're not winning yet we keep trying to make a win and it is really difficult to stop yourself and stop gambling for a while when you lose, even when you have repeatedly lost.

Gambling was created for fun and for peace of mind but it has become so dangerous that the lives of those who gamble have been ruined and those who have become serious gamblers gamble very irresponsibly and lose very badly which is having a very bad effect on their lives not only on their lives but also on their families. When a person becomes addicted to gambling, no advice will work for him and this is the biggest drawback of gambling.

There are so many cases where gamblers lose their money and even some of their assets and the destruction of families because of gambling that makes this more serious than imagined just because they cannot control their emotions in the gambling they do.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be controlled because it becomes an uncontrollable situation and although not all gamblers experience it, there must be something like this that even happens to our family or neighbors so in the end this is what makes gambling a situation that is considered negative.

Well, not all gamblers do, and I dare say that most do not go to such extremes. The vast majority of us control our gambling, and when I say control it is not 100% of the time. In the same way that most of ust when we drink we are responsible and that doesn't mean that we haven't had too much to drink sometimes. The average responsible player, likewise, has on occasion lost more money than he or she had planned or played for longer than he or she originally thought. Or even both, which often go hand in hand.

What happens is that the scandalous cases of people who lose a fortune and get into debt, and lose their house, or the savings entrusted to them by their father, etc. are the ones that make the headlines, but I think they paint a distorted picture of most of us.
This is a point that cannot be avoided because after all, no matter how strong we are when restraining ourselves but in some conditions there will definitely be a mistake that occurs that makes the situation uncontrollable which makes regret always come in the end.
 
The news like you mentioned will never be separated from gambling because in the end this is a condition where we cannot control ourselves properly and unfortunately this is mostly the case because compared to people who gamble and can control themselves properly, for now there are many gamblers who fail to do so even though their intentions are actually the same where they will gamble responsibly but in the end their control is loose and becomes a new problem for themselves.


There are so many cases where gamblers lose their money and even some of their assets and the destruction of families because of gambling that makes this more serious than imagined just because they cannot control their emotions in the gambling they do.
Yes, when someone gambles without learning about gambling responsibility then those kind of things happen from time to time. Those gamblers who lose money and chase those losses in order to cover those losses and make profit as well are way more likely to get addicted to gambling.

Once they get addicted then they continue spending more of their money in gambling and that losing will continue for long term unless someone helps them to get rid of that addiction. It's quite easy to get addicted to gambling but it's very hard to get unaddicted from it.
The fact is that this happens more than many cases of people being able to control gambling and we can't just turn a blind eye to this either.
The problem is that when someone is an ego-centered gambler, instead of taking this as an example, they don't really pay attention to it as a concern, even though this is actually a good reminder for us to gamble according to what we can afford to lose. Because we don't need to be naive even though we are a gambler who doesn't want to be considered an addict but in the end we have to realize that gambling is to spend the money we have because no matter how much profit is won later in the end sometimes it will run out again within a certain period of time because gambling will lose more than gain and we must be aware of that.

Well, since gaining money from gambling is comparatively easy, that is why gamblers have less psychological control over themselves when they gamble. The emotions of greed creep more quickly when you are winning and it is very hard to control the emotions. The only way to save your money in gambling is to do two things :-

1- Keep aside a certain portion of your money for gambling and do not allocate more money (for a certain time period), even if you lose it early.

2- Do not go all in, in any gambling game or bet, no matter you are how much sure that you will win the bet. Better allocate only 1 to 5% of the gambling portfolio in each game and vary it.
