Topic: If Gambling Cannot Excite You How Do You Play It? - page 3. (Read 400 times)
Dopamine just creates a kind of reflection in the brain of the temporary feeling of gambling, where if you win a gambling bet, dopamine will create a feeling of pleasure in the brain in a physiological process, and it will be temporary. Even if defeated again, dopamine will create a kind of sad feeling in the brain and that too will be temporary. Dopamine will signal your gambling feelings to the brain only for a short period of time but it will not have any lasting effects on your brain.
For sport betting I must say not everyone but to get excited rather they bet due to their income to receive from the game, if you watch vividly or correctly you will know that there are some people who bet on games that they don't watch and you know betting on game you are watching shows that you are having the fun or being excited. But when you are not watching the game you only stake the bet it shows that you are not having fun rather gambling to make profit and this increases your dopamine and adrenaline because there are so much financial values attached to it.
Individual bettors chose what they want whether to either watch already placed bet match and I believe this individuals has a reason for what they do, I understand that there are some people that doesn't withstand pressure of losing or there bet not coming as they placed it, this set of persons are strictly after there returns as they play it but forgetting that as a bettor it's required of you to add a bit fun to your gambling activities in other not not get pissed when the unexpected happens, though I must be sincere I was doing this before but later I realize that I can't deprive myself the happiness that comes with watching match even though my bet is involved. I think why this so called adrenaline and dopamine which is anxiety hormone rise is because some bettors misolace priority when betting, they focus too much on the possible returns from their bet but failing to understand that as a bettor you must engage in activity that excite you in other to lesen your anxiety level if you have already placed bet.
I don’t know how anyone would play and lose or win without feeling anything; even if you try hard to hide it or convince yourself that you didn’t feel anything from the game you just won, deep down you know that there’s a little excitement there.
By the way, if this is out into consideration then doesn’t it defeats the whole idea of “gambling for fun”? I don’t see how one would gamble for fun without being able to showcase his dopamine or adrenaline rush; when they win or lose a game.
For me, the best thing about gambling is the excitement that comes from playing and winning or losing or anticipating that a prediction comes out well; if a time ever comes where I’d need to no longer gamble and feel this thrills then I don’t think it will be a good time to continue gambling since all I’ll be doing then is just chasing profits.

You have to separate gambling for fun/thrill and gambling for profit. I would leave all table games and slots out of the equation and just concentrate on sports as I would no longer be seeking the thrill of the huge win, just the pure aspect of profit. If you plan on trying to be sportsbetter for a living (it can be done, just very hard), then you cannot be taking shots on slots and praying. Only concentrate on making your profit for the day.
I don't think it can be made possible to eliminate dopamine and adrenaline from gambling experience. What can be done is to minimize it, not to have much affect on us when gambling. Developing a strategy like taking regular breaks to counter the rise of dopamine and adrenaline will do a lot of better when the emotions of dopamine and adrenaline comes up because it is always like an urge that can't be easily controlled if a strategy is not put in place by setting a limit to gambling
Definitely YES! if you try to bet in a professional style you can't have such emotions like happy/unhappy after an outcome.
well, of course if you win you are happy, but this should not change your gambling behaviour. thats all.
I often call this method of gambling "financial gambling style" were you don't care about your team or what'else but only on profit and achieve advantages.

You're right most people are gambling just for profit making, well talking about "team" you know if I happens to be a gambler let's take for instance I'm a manchester united fan. Let's say we're having a match with bigger team like liverpool, considering the current performance of manchester united I guess you know how poor it is. did you expect me to predict manchester united to win liverpool regardless to their poor performance? LoL, I guess the answer is No because the possibility of manchester united to win liverpool is 0% reason been that liverpool is among the toughest team in premier league this season. However, is obvious that gambling is just part of fun and entertainment that's by supporting our favorite team but not when money is involved knowing fully well that your team is not in a good performance doing that for me is just like waste of money.
Hence my question: Is it possible to gamble without the dopamine and adrenaline?
I tried this on Crash and I cannot. The rush will always be there. How about you?

Players can develop awareness of their physiological and emotional responses and by recognizing emotion and excitement, they can learn to control them and make more rational decisions.
Experienced players often develop a more calculated approach, where emotion is managed and decision-making is based on probabilities and strategy... people at this level can actually play without the need for emotion.
Choosing games with less volatility and risk can reduce the intensity of dopamine and adrenaline responses. Try to choose games that require skill and strategy, rather than relying purely on luck. This will give you a more controlled experience and you may develop a different taste for games.
But speaking for myself... I'm an occasional player who always seeks entertainment, so I always play for the thrill and I agree with you that this wouldn't work for me either.
Can you gamble without the adrenaline and the dopamine
As far as I know, Adrenaline and Dopamine are more of a hormonal nature, where both will be produced by the brain when carrying out activities, especially if someone engages in gambling activities, if I'm not mistaken both will occur automatically in the soul of every individual.I think that I personally can't gamble without Adrenaline and Dopamine.The reason: Adrenaline will occur on its own when you are stressed or afraid of losing in the gambling arena. When that happens, adrenaline maintains balance so that we don't become frustrated and so on when we lose at gambling and lose money.
While Dopamine, it will happen automatically when you win and are happy, happy when the bet wins and so on.
So if we talk about these two characteristics, they will occur automatically in individuals, of course these two factors apply in gambling.
I created this thread because of this discussion.

Whoever you are as long as you're a gambler, there are certain things that will supposedly be the driving force that attracts you to gambling especially for those that permutate lots of football games, hence your done with your permutations the adrenaline and dopamine sends a strong signal to your brain, signalling that your likely to be in possession of significant amount of money if you eventually win your bet. so it's not possible to gamble without adrenaline and dopamine because they help control how we feel about any action.

There will always be that emotional thing that we will feel in every game that we play because we are risking our money while playing it.
I have been playing 10 different slot games constantly and I don't go out of those games until now I still feel the excitement while playing them although I don't enjoy it when I am losing. There are times I will get bored with one game and so I will switch to the other one out of the 10 and I will feel that excitement again. We cannot take out that feeling and even if we are repeatedly playing those games, there will still be different kinds of emotions that we will feel while we are at it. The same goes when I am betting on sports while watching them, I still cheer for the team that I bet for.

For a person where money is not a question, he would be gambling confidently as long as he doesn't gamble in a rush with large amounts he will still make good decisions. Yes. he can accept the loss for today and let the bad luck pass for the next day will be another gambling day.
You will see high rollers play on a poker table, not sweating as they wager more than 100k. But for small capital gamblers, it will be a pressure.
I always expect to have these two and am looking forward to getting excited whenever I play on casinos or any form of betting platform, and I mostly felt these two on horse racing; the majority of players feel they are alive when they are playing because of the rush of adrenaline, and they feel good when they win.
This is the reason why gambling is addictive: the mind always remembers and is attached to something that will excite them.

I feel like this can only happen if you treat gambling with indifference, I mean, like you treat it to pass the time or so just you have something to do and don't care whether you win or lose. I tried this on Crash and I cannot. The rush will always be there. How about you?
despite treating gambling as entertainment and a way to unwind I still do get the rush when I win especially if you are not expecting it. Definitely YES! if you try to bet in a professional style you can't have such emotions like happy/unhappy after an outcome.
well, of course if you win you are happy, but this should not change your gambling behaviour. thats all.

Right, it's actually possible if you bet more strategically, meaning you have to adapt a proper gambler's mindset and approach. If you sees gambling as more of an entertainment rather than a source of income, then you will expect fixed outcome so that limits yourself from feeling intense dopamine or adrenaline rush as it lessen emotional arousal. well, of course if you win you are happy, but this should not change your gambling behaviour. thats all.

But if you are a gambler who focus more on your emotions, definitely you will feel both dopamine and adrenaline rush which is for me a natural part of gambling experience.
It's possible to gamble without having dopamine rush, I think it all depends on your state of mind and how disciplined you are. Getting to that point where you start having dopamine rush means that you lack discipline and also out of control. It's very easy to get this effect from crash games Because they are very addictive, you can also be addicted to other games but this game in particular can lure you into making some financial mistakes. I remember when I was also playing this game, I was always on it even when I was losing, this is the dopamine effect it has on the brain. Bet on sports and stake moderately that's the best way to stay disciplined.
Gambling does not excite me but I play it as I have clear objectives in mind, I set a predefined bankroll and I know what I want to achieve with it, for example I set an 100 dollar bankroll and play it all with 0.10 dollars bet in Play n Go medieval slot themes like Return of the Green Knight, while I don't fight for that max win of x40.000 multiplier I have an objective of going to the hit the sticky wilds in final level of x100 multiplier and to get a nice win, if I win I feel great but if I lose I don't feel bad because this was money played to achieve the results if possible. It is not a quest of if gambling excites me, for me it is more a quest of achieving something good out of it, rarely though I have achieved it, as gambling is designed against us.
Yes it's possible for that we need to understand the science behind the dopamine, I am not a scientist or something but I know something about it. When we gamble at first it surely create dopamine let's say you bet only 3 bets, it will get less exiting on the 3rd day and it gets lesser and lesser so you need to increase the number of bet like 4 and 5 to get the same excitement but at some point we can't feel the excitement rather guilty which is the stage of severe addiction and trust me no one should reach that point.
So the right way is to keep betting the 3 bets consistent which comes under the responsible gambling.

there's always going to be some sort of emotional reaction that will compele one to consider gambling before even looking at the need to do any form of research which will give one the able to gamble effective.I tried this on Crash and I cannot. The rush will always be there. How about you?
As a matter of fact, research and analysis don't function alone independent of any form dopamine but only comes to action after there's a trigger to gamble. Even if you're a responsible, irresponsible or even an addicted gambler, the primary thing is always that the urge to gamble which is a product of an adrenaline power will always come and then you can now talk research or any other thing. This is also applicable to luck based gambling and every other form of gambling.
Gambling is an entertainment platform, and we are just humans to feel these emotions when we are excited about playing, so I don't think you can play without these two. Where the mind and emotions play, there will always be an adrenaline rush, and when we achieve our goals, there will always be dopamine; it is released when we feel good or rewarded at what we do.
For sport betting I must say not everyone but to get excited rather they bet due to their income to receive from the game, if you watch vividly or correctly you will know that there are some people who bet on games that they don't watch and you know betting on game you are watching shows that you are having the fun or being excited. But when you are not watching the game you only stake the bet it shows that you are not having fun rather gambling to make profit and this increases your dopamine and adrenaline because there are so much financial values attached to it.
