Topic: Gambling is not only about winning and losing, but about psychological control - page 7. (Read 2033 times)

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.

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.

Yea, you are right, but like you also included in the first line, it is not easy to control lust in gambling. It is not only beginners that are battling with controlling their gambling lust; most experienced gamblers too are, and some of them who have stayed resistant to it can sometimes still gamble out of control. I mean, a responsible gambler can sometimes lose control due to repeated losses; they can just get emotional and gamble so uncontrollably. 

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.

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.

When a gambler wins a bet in gambling, he automatically gets a strong attraction towards gambling and makes himself more inclined to engage in gambling. No matter how much you try to psychologically control a gambler at this very moment, there will be no benefit. At the moment a gambler becomes so greedy after winning a bet that he loses all control over himself. Even if he loses the bet again, he cannot control himself from gambling because of his strong desire to recover the previous loss. Thus a gambler loses the ability to psychologically control whether he loses or gains in gambling.

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.

The problem is that this keeps repeating like a cycle that always comes every time they play which makes them sacrifice almost everything to do gambling and in the end they lose things that they should not lose because it is not uncommon when things like this continue to happen in a row then in addition to property then sometimes relationships with the closest people will be destroyed.

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.

Precisely because gambling can greatly influence the human psyche, the approach and passion for it should be prudent. If a person suffers from some psychological addiction, such as drug addiction or alcoholism, gambling can become a catalyst for increasing their problem. In the same way, any head injury that accompanies a concussion, with minor unrest, will make itself felt by the player’s inappropriate behavior. If a person is not restrained in his emotions, there will always be a risk of wrong actions leading to the loss of all the money, despite some winnings.
As a result, we can say that people with a strong nervous system can get involved in gambling on those days when no troubles can disturb the person’s condition.

Gambling is basically something that can be done as a means of entertainment with the aim of getting and feeling the sensation of entertainment to eliminate boredom, and you need to know that gambling is something that can attract players deeper and forget about normal boundaries. Even though they gamble for fun, of course the opportunity to become addicted or interested in it is still there. In fact, I think when they are bored, maybe that is still normal, but if they are tired because of the work they are doing and want to find entertainment, gambling is not the most important thing to think about. and done. because there are many other things that are more useful to do besides that, when they are tired, I think their thinking tends to be confused by getting results that are less than satisfactory or not in line with what was expected. We must be able to allocate a certain amount of money that has been determined and is ready to be lost, because that is one of the keys to preventing addiction, but not everyone can do that, there are people who are more interested in gambling and allocate a larger amount of money than what is required. it has been determined this is undesirable.

I agree with what you said, if we can manage everything well then no problems will occur. Self-control is of course the main key in gambling, because the absence of self-control can make them gamble blindly. However, I don't think about gambling frequently even though I have strong self-control because I'm afraid there will be times when we lose self-control, now I rarely gamble and that makes my finances more controlled. I hope that those who gamble with the aim of having fun can control their limits well so as not to lose self-control which could lead to disaster.

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

Well, we gotta lose what we have to lose and that's part of gambling. But it's a different thing on how we're going to react with our emotions.

Because at most times, it's not that triggering to lose our bets but what's more triggering is how we react and how we handle that loss afterwards.

Sometimes, reactions are too late to comprehend that we shouldn't gamble at all but then, when we think of the potential victories, it's always there and that makes us keep gambling for more.

Very good advice for newbie gamblers and also for those who believe in fake advertisements and end up getting addicted to gambling.

Greed is our enemy and if we give it the power to decide our fate then we will end up with nothing. One should learn about gambling responsibility and a way to somehow control the greed.

I believe a little bit of meditation can be helpful but most gamblers aren't ready to meditate and that's why they may have to find an alternative way to suppress greed or getting influenced by it.

For those people who have a moderate or low emotion in terms of gambling, they can always stick on their chosen character no matter what. I don't know what you mean by talk like that but talking is not enough if we won't put it in action and also if we find or think it's difficult, then much better to not attempt it.

Some can say that it's better to try than not trying at all but I think that was subjective and may not really fit here in the gambling world. Curiosity is when we think what is beyond of something and not when you already stop. In gambling, most of the times we can lose, so like I said earlier, it is better to just not do it, than regret it later on.

I know this feeling, but I went even further - I used dice emulators (a program that has its own thread on this forum) and “played” using different strategies (mostly different types of martingale). I don’t know why, but watching your virtual deposit grow steadily at first and then inexorably reset to zero is relaxing. But probably what relaxed me most was that it was completely free for me 

If he is in a winning position, it is as if he is the greatest and smartest in playing playing patterns to be able to get the jackpot. The turn at the two moments that occur in gambling can really be felt as you said.
When they lose, people will complain and be challenged to continue looking for ways to play and catch up on the amount of deposits they have made. Indirectly, a psychological role has occurred to him which does not rule out the possibility of mental disorders. It might lead to actions that could harm other people in order to make their wishes come true right away.

It is difficult to defeat an ego like this because after all this is an attitude that has been embedded and difficult to change from every human being so that indeed feelings like this will continue to appear in some unexpected situations so that even though we have tried as much as possible not to do gambling that emphasizes emotions but on several occasions when we are too focused and ambitious for a game then it is certain that the end will not be too good.

We realize that this is a mistake but on the other hand, it is also difficult for us to block things like this which makes us look like fools when we have done it only we also cannot realize when we do it. This is why the importance of calmness in ourselves so that we do not get carried away or lulled into the game that is done so that ambition in the game does not come when we gamble and it becomes a challenge in the end for every gambler because after all, when we want to gamble, as much as possible we suppress all forms of emotions and ambitions so as not to affect the game in the gambling that we do.

However, perhaps controlling lust in gambling is difficult for beginners, most of whom are very passionate about the games and bets they make. Even though controlling your desires ultimately forms certain limits, once or twice in gambling you will break through the limits you have created.
but I am sure that when those who have control over their desires, even though in the end they break through or cross the boundaries created several times. they will not easily become addicted very seriously.

I was discussing with a friend the other topic, and the guy said he has been gambling for decades and yet has not become addicted. The thing is, as a new gambler, you will definitely have those symptoms of addiction, but the ability to control your urges will prevent you from becoming addicted, and you will become disciplined. You have become disciplined, and that is why, no matter how you gamble, you will not get addicted again, and I believe you already know how to manage your bankroll. 

Such a revengeful feelings shows lack of control, and understanding of gambling. And the wrong mindset didn't just start out the moment they began gambling. It's something that has been inbuilt in them even before joining the gambling niche. As gamblers we all have numerous challenges regarding losing money. Regrets fills up the heart of multiple gamblers after losing their money.

This regrets feels like engaging in a mistake we were fully aware of, but didn't know how we got into it. More like a trap, then, the player within him wouldn't accept it, and wants to correct his mistakes, the loss repeats again. Naive players wouldn't stop easily, due to their emotional state and feelings of getting back their money. This then eats up all they had to gamble, and the game ends once the money is all exhausted.
