Topic: How to Control Your Emotions and Win More Bets (Read 935 times)

Exactly. I think many gamblers are also forgetting that. The game is still luck-based while the emotion is only to lessen the damage that will happen to us.
It's not because we are disciplined, we are going to win each bet that we will make. There will be times when that losing streak will still happen.
In my case, I prefer switching games when I feel like I am unlucky with one. Somehow it is working but sometimes it doesn't. I won't be waiting for the RTP to kick because most of the time it won't happen until you have zero balance. I guess for me game-switching is also a part of controlling my emotion, that way I won't be chasing losses.

Disagree with the first part of your statement. The reality in gambling is not like that.

It's not just when losing but didn't you know that when winning, it's more giving a gambler to bet more since why the hell they should stop if they are winning? You think that when winning, gamblers have patience but in reality, they are falling more on the spell just to continue to gamble no matter what since they are lucky that time. I admit that when I'm winning, it's hard to stop.

It's hard to follow when we put a limit. When winning, we won't think of stopping completely or taking a break. When losing, we still don't want to stop because we want to chase our losses. Where we will end up now? It's really on us where to stop regardless when winning or losing.

With gambling we don't know when we'll loss control. If we're on the winning streak we'll have the patience to think and we'll place the bets. When we're on the losing streak the mind always thinks about recovering the loss. By this time we should've got the control to take a break, but most of us get triggered and multiply the bet value. This at times recover the lost fund and most of the time loss used to be the end result. Having limit on spending unlike win/loss used to be the best way to control ourselves.

Our brain is in our control, what we are going to do comes from us - emotions/feelings, and wants to do. But if we talk about gambling, it is a different thing knowing that we are not controlling it so we couldn't say that if we wanted to win, we win. No, because gambling is also controlled by others which is beyond our control. This means that whatever their plan (owner) will also be the result and this is why players often lose their money rather than winning. And the more we become emotional, the more we lose.  

People would only learn but it is really on the time that they are really indeed late or the damage has been done already or been applied on which this is something that avoidable if you are really just
that sensible in towards your actions. Human beings decisions arent really that perfect from time to time or on certain conditions because there are really factors which could really affect out that kind of decision making on a particular situation or condition. In gambling where it is really indeed that something that affects emotions because we dont really like on losing money and we would really be seeking into those methods and ways on which we could really be able to take advantage if ever have the chance for us to have that more winning chance but we know the risks and reality of gambling
where people do always lose in the end.If you arent really that aware about the reality then you would most likely fall into this situation.

Here in our country as well, that is why gambling addiction is very high in our country given that we are only a 3rd world country but many people chooses and prioritize gambling over their food how can I say this? Most of my neighbors are playing illegal gambling and when the debtor came in their houses they will not pay it , they will still play even though they only have limited money they will still play even their children doesn't have food to eat.

Talking about having control over our emotions as a good way or means to be successful in gambling, what I have seen in my country are very sad things, most people look at revenge, they look at violence as a quick way to get satisfied when they are faced with a problem or conflict in which they lost and as these people do not accept losing so they seek revenge, the problem with this wrong way of thinking is that the person cannot deal with any difficulty in real life or online without thinking. in revenge and this path of revenge blinds people

For example, in my country, when people don't have money, they talk as if they were best friends, but when they have some money and start playing slots or another game in the place where they usually go, it doesn't take 3 hours of time for me to hear from my house that they are fighting and they are always serious fights, I am honestly very shocked by all the noise they make and the reason for the fight is because they bet money, yes between them they bet money on the snooker game and when the loser does not accept defeat and as a consequence

he doesn't accept paying so the intense fights start, they know the police won't come because they are police and it's time to rest, so I just have to listen to the noise of their fights, honestly I'm already thinking about leaving this place, staying living with people addicted to gambling and alcohol is something that is not good, the environment is not good, I thought that these guys on my street would be cured and there would be no more fights and noise, but I was wrong, all Some days the guys are at games and can't play and control their emotions

But it can be overcome as long as that gambler will dedicate some time to learn the basics of it and know when to start and end an activity towards gambling. Sometimes, we are allowed to chase our losses as long as we know what we are doing and we know the chances of it, but without proper mindset, that gambler will just run in circles without any plans when to stop until he will realize that he is already in the point of no return. Might be unfortunate, but at that time, he will then again have another chance but sadly, he already wasted too much resources in running around.

An unstable emotion is already subjected to consistent playing because you want to chase the losses that you have encountered. Like you have alluded, someone who doesn't have that total control over his emotion is likely to play out all his life savings when he is losing out, such is a bed thing to do but addicts comfortably would do that because they are always in "expectation " of a huge winning that never comes to pass.

Human emotions is something very strong and it can alter so many things not only gambling because at the time our emotions start getting to us every thinking and thought starts changing which really influenced our gambling and not in a positive way because I have experienced this many times especially when I have had some series of big loss and it takes discipline to actually stop when having emotional change because at that moment your thinking is changing in every way.

What happens with this is that there is always one type of thing when we play is that thanks to the actions during the game if you can make us lose, sometimes it can make us win, but it is with a lot of luck, but of course, looking at it from one From a more detailed and specific point of view, it is not so much the emotions, it is the impulses that we have, it is what I would think can be done that does have an influence, when we are in trouble our impulses are what can make us make decisions without thinking, just because we make that decision and that's it, for that reason I think that something can be done, that's all I can think about, but what happens is that sometimes those impulses can be taken as if they were emotions, it's valid, in the game we can say that they are emotions, and that they can make us win or lose, well I believe that yes, it is something that can make us make decisions, we do not have nerves of steel, we have things or associated feelings that can influence within a casino game, or within a particular game where very emotional decisions are made, that sometimes does not allow us to move forward, I say this because it has happened to me sometimes one does not take enough risks, and because of the fear of losing, one does not play it, And this is where another series of feelings comes in, such as regret, remorse, so all of this influences the time of playing, at least it does for me.

Some people may say that feelings and emotions do not affect the game, and if they do affect the truth, I am one of those who think so, just like when trading, if we let the feelings, that some things like emotions If we pay attention to them, it can make us lose, I say this because it has also happened to me, sometimes a decision depends on a feeling, emotion, fear of losing is what always comes when one is playing in a casino, that is Normally, we are human, it is very difficult for us to control it, those who can control it because they don't have it, they are robots.

That's right. Having control over your emotions cannot have any influence over your wins but it can greatly affect the amount of losses you might get because when you are always emotionally stable and don't make decisions out of anger or sadness or any other emotion but think and use your wisdom, you will not lose as much as you might do if you don't have any control over your emotions which is basically what happens with most of the gamblers these days.

Not having enough control over your emotions can also make you more vulnerable to becoming a gambling addict since you wouldn't be able to differentiate between when you need to stop and when you need to start gambling again and that affects your time and activities in normal life.

Even if it doesn't always fail, we will usually be on the losing side when we play on emotion.When you fully put emotion aside and do an overall analysis of the match, if your side is still favored, then the only thing you can do is take a low-risk bet.This is an indication that we need to be realistic when betting, even if it doesn't make sense.Whether it's football or any other sport, it doesn't matter.You should bet on whoever is good or whoever is the most likely betting style.

If you can handle the self controlled emotion,then the emotion will not rule your decision.Most of the gamblers will get collapsed in taking the decision at the emotion.So the emotion was the major part of gambling,the successful person is the gambler who handle their emotion at the decision making techniques.As you said,if any get addicted to the sex.He can only get away after he get some health issue from the regular addiction.The second factor will be the game which make them not ready for the sex.Like wise once you doesn’t have any huge money.You will easily get away from the gambling.

When the brain is on survival mode, it does not pushes our instinct to negative, infact it will give us hope to strenthen our state of mind and not get crazy in times of depression.  I think you are confused about this thing since your statement are messed up.


Care to elaborate?


  And the story you stated when done once and not in a regular basis, it does not tell that the person is a gambling addict.

Learning from other people's mistakes might do the trick because that is one way of learning without any risks but the downside of that thing is that you cannot fully understand what does it feel like and how to stand back after you stumble if you yourself won't experience it. Self experience will always be the best teacher and in line with experience, we should be more intelligent after that and that is a must because it makes us dumb if after experiencing a mistake, we still do it and repeat the cycle without any learning.

I can't understand what you mean    "By physical excise one can improve one's emotions and habits of self-control."

In doing everything, you must be in good control and self-control. And too much of anything is not good because it can have bad consequences for us. And come back to the topic you discussed. In my opinion, someone who is addicted to alcohol will stop when they fall ill, because their body is no longer able to take it all. and likewise, when someone is addicted to casual sex, he will stop when he is sick or when he is at a vulnerable age. However, when someone is heavily addicted to gambling, then he will only stop when his finances run out, his assets are used up for gambling and there is no longer anyone who trusts him to provide loans.

You have a point but not all things that we need to commit mistakes in different situations in order to learn and become a better person. There are a lot of things that are unnecessary to fail. We learn from other peoples' past experiences just like we are listening to our elders and teachers in order for us to become better humans.

In gambling, we do not have to be addicted to become responsible gamblers. We don't have to experience other people who lost properties and have huge debts because of their emotions that lead to gambling addictions.

Interesting, I want to try to examine one by one the points you wrote in this long thread. oh yeah, I can't open the link you shared, it seems like something went wrong. It's just that what you explain in this thread doesn't seem to be in sync with the title of the thread you created. I need time to examine it further, because there are interesting parts. Unfortunately, for me, there is no essence in the content of the thread you convey regarding gambling, in fact it has nothing to do with winning more at bets. Or maybe I don't really understand the contents of this thread. So, I'll be back to re-read once my work is done. for now, I will just assume according to what I catch from what you said.

Related to the brain, humans have been designed in such a way that each individual has their own abilities. we as gamblers, know what we are doing. in gambling, especially sports betting, someone who has experience, knowledge, and insight into the sport itself, unlike what you describe in this thread. Oh yes, you forgot something, apart from endorphins there is also dopamine and also human psychology which is related to how our brain works. Humans are complex, difficult to predict, because they have their own way of thinking depending on the individual, their education and their social environment. Likewise with awareness, the points are not as easy as you explain in this thread. In practice, no human being is able to consistently do this, all of which is related to the way our brains work. The point is, I didn't get the essence of how to control emotions and win more bets. because gambling, is not as simple as we discussed in this thread.

It takes a lot of experience to be able to regulate or control emotions when gambling, because everyone's emotions are at different levels. Some tend to be flatter and some are too passionate. Being more patient in gambling and analyzing gambling well will give the best results. and luck can also be obtained from controlling emotions. Try to train to manage emotions, use emotions as energy to become more enthusiastic. Emotions are a characteristic of humans and cannot be eliminated, but can be controlled. When you can control it and are able to gamble calmly, there will be many opportunities to be had.
