Topic: Making decisions while betting - page 5. (Read 2885 times)

When I played at the initial stage, I just wanted to win more and I didn’t know the clear rules, but I believed that I would be lucky. After several losses, I realized that it was time to take off my rose-colored glasses and start studying the rules, strategies and how and how much the casino earns. Now I know a lot and understand what gambling is, I just use it for small bets and I don’t need anything else. I am not a fan of changing bets during a match, you need to prepare and do it before the start of the match, and not jump from one bet to another, because it seemed to us that one of the players felt bad.

If they can't control themselves while playing gambling, they will regret when they realizes that they already lose much money. They can becomes more emotional when they lose money and many people already gets this experiences. We can holds ourselves from becoming emotional by having self control that can prevents us losing much money. If we wants to feels joy of playing gambling, we must have limitations so we don't feels any regrets when we lose although that will makes us sad because of losing the money. But our losing is something that we can afford because we already knows the risk of playing gambling. That's why we must have self control or learns about self control so we don't have to gets the bad experiences and we can enjoy playing gambling and knows how to treats gambling.

Simply to say that if you use spare money then you are not compromising anything, you can let that money go and bring home the enjoyment but if you are using something that intend to use for important matter then you are risking too much, and the bad side effect is you are placing yourself into a great danger, once you already take this kind of action you'll always have that nerve doing it again, which probably leads you into addiction, Not going to help but to ruined your finances and even the relationship that you have if you are using money that intendedly for your basic needs.

Keep in mind that risk is all you have when you step your foot into gambling without that right understanding you may lose huge amount of money which you need to assess yourself, decision making is very important you must have that self-control.

Nicely put! It can be said, I think, that those who suffer from gambling can't control their own emotions when it's needed. I mean, it's not always needed, of course. If you are feeling joy from playing some low volatility slot and winning small amounts all the time, it shouldn't necessarily be suppressed, go ahead, feel it. But if you are getting emotional from your losses and start betting more and more as a result, that should be suppressed.

Controlling emotions in gambling and betting is something which seems very easy to implement but when it comes to practical it is one of the most difficult thing one can implement. It is not that a person cannot implement it but when you are gambling you forget about the good learning you learn about gambling and your only focus is to win the game or maybe have fun in gambling.

It's often much harder to put into practice than it is to talk about self-control and managing emotions, especially in the middle of the bet or gamble. Many people struggle with this, which is why we see so many facing significant loses after gambling.

Controlling emotions in such situations can be one of the toughest challenges, even for experienced gamblers. Experience and the knowledge definitely play a very crucal role in handling the situation of gambling responsibly.

Being able to manage the bankroll is a smart move for any gambler, regardless of whatever method they're using to enhance their gambling experience. However, as you said, it's not possible to devise any strategy that works in favor of the gambler. It's all win or lose, and the game is controlled by the house 100 percent. So, players only have the choice of limiting their time in the game and managing their money. Anything else leads to more losses. Another factor is being able to stop, the moment the designated amount has been exhausted.

Because the urge to wager more can still affect the gambler to go against such a strategy. That's why it's important for a gambler to work with someone who can help him regulate how he wagers his money. Not at all times will a person be able to stick by his plans, with no problems arising. Hence, with the help of a second person, the gambler can be guided to only gamble with what is on his bankroll and restricted from depositing more money.

In gambling that depend on luck, there are no strategies that people can say they created to win. These are games that depend on luck. so no matter what kind of things people use in those games, it will be useless. There is only one way for the person to put money into the game and choose the multiplier they want and whether the mode is manual or automatic. So people need to not forget that. Now there is the part of bankroll management in which the person defines the amount they are willing to use and lose. This part of bankroll management also allows the person to determine how long they will play at the casino. example, a person deposits $50 at the casino and defines that $50 as bankroll value, uses $10 to play plinko for 2 hours of time

When that person loses the entire $10, it won't do any good for that person to cry or be sad, because that was something expected to happen, the biggest gain the person had was the 2 hours of fun. So by that I mean that in gambling that depend on luck, it doesn't matter whether or not you have self-control, whether or not you get irritated during the game. But what matters is bankroll management. managing the money allocated to play is what is important. Now when we are faced with gambling games that do not depend on luck, but rather depend on skills, then it is very important that people have a plan before playing and stay very calm during the game

That's an excellent move, at least making out some specific amount of money to gamble helps limit the gambler's time in the casino. If this is not done, the game could get out of hand, and the player wouldn't get hold of his moves, anymore. And his initial plans would seem, as though erased from his memory. The time to reflect on what was his plans before going to the casino, may not be available as well. I think gamblers to play slowly, and not wager quickly. It'll help them to remember their plans and strategy, as well as the stopping time. While gambling in a hurry puts off the gambler's thinking time, his money also diminishes at the same speed. And when money is not well managed, the gambler will always go home sad and disappointed.

Feelings like this only make the gambler try out again next time, unprepared. Some decisions are unsatisfying to the gambler, and he wants to gamble again, as soon as possible. If a gambler is prepared and follows his gaming strategy, he'd enjoy his game and whenever he's done wouldn't be in a hurry to play again. That's the advantage of playing carefully. I've noticed that whenever I don't enjoy the game, I want to play again, at least to get the satisfaction I missed in the last session. So, inexperienced gamblers get it the wrong way and never get satisfied because nothing changes between their methods in the past and recent sessions. Hence, they'll keep getting disappointed, gambling more and losing more.

This is one of the truest things that exist in the world, I have always said something, when we are about to enter a casino, we are capable of making many plans, how we are going to play, even how much we are going to bet, but there is the option that When you are in a casino, things change because obviously things are going in other directions, other types of thoughts begin to occur, and if everything changes, I have seen how people with good money arrive home without money, that is the worst thing that can happen. happen, because sometimes they spend money that they don't have to and that creates a problem, I think that when a person has obligations they must first fulfill those obligations, then they can establish themselves by playing, but if you surrender to the casino and don't follow your initial plan everything is It can get out of control, so it is always good before playing it is better to establish how much money you are going to spend so as not to have bad moments.

Plans change when the game begins, and it affects the confidence of the gambler in strange ways. Aside from gambling, when pressured to do something, our plans will change. Gamblers who allow the pressure of gambling compulsively to hold them, change their plan. Their previous decision may get altered due to the pressure of making quick decisions while gambling. Players often forget to quit as planned once a specific time elapse. Or even if they recall, the plan will get rescheduled to something else. It's a result of greed. Along the line.

The choice of making money easily supersedes the previous responsible plans. Like money limitations. As the results adjust gamblers tend to restructure their plans towards a better-looking method that could get the big wins. While still in the session, the whole previous plans will be forgotten. Players only remember their main responsible plans after the game is over. When it's almost late. However, deep down the remorse could start, but once back to the game, the same mistake will be repeated.

Some persons don't know how to control themselves and this is the reason why when they gamble they tend to lose control and go against their plans in which they have put in place from the onset. Many people have struggled to stick with the original plans they have when they gamble and sometimes its because of poor principles and decision making.

Well I agree with your idea which is one that my friend always suggests to me and to some other friends who are gamblers, which is to eliminate or delete something that can be used as an alternative when we experience emotions due to defeat, as I did which is where I deleted the Mbanking application on my smart phone, which when I lost the bet then I had no way to make a deposit back to a casino site where I lost.

Over time my emotions subsided, and I will say that this was a pretty effective idea that led to a preventative measure. But yes maybe there are only some gamblers who really think about precautions like this, because what I hear is that most of them are too busy looking for ways that still can't guarantee victory to come, however precautions should not be ignored and instead should be prioritized, this is gambling which has a very high level of risk that can lose all your money in an instant.

@danadc has said it in the very best way if I must say, and a gambler who thinks and acts like him will hardly have issues in his gambling efforts. In summary, what I read from him is that a gambler should be mindful of his gambling exercise, and do not think highly of himself, but lowly, neutrally and cautiously since no one is sure to win in gambling, and the gambler must be sure that he pursues it slowly with self-control and management. I do not think a gambler needs more than that to play safely. To you, this might be easier said than done, but mindset matters here, even as good advice has been issued already, it is now left to anyone reading it to do it or not. If I must say, he actually narrated my mind towards gambling and that is what I actually do. So it is not only easier than said as you claimed, it is doable too.

It all takes a good and informed mindset to start with even before the gambling starts at all. In the beginning, if a gambler is not too self-believing and does not care about winning big money in desperation, this advice is actually easy to actualise unless the gambler is only pretending. Above all, it is our choice to do the right or wrong thing in gambling, the emotion and other evil in gambling are there to cause issues for us, and so are the good things that can be done to avoid the evil and even be managerial and proactive gamblers. The choice is ours and I fully support what @danadc advice if one can do it.

Since this is the case, gamblers need to take some steps to protect their money in the case they were to lose control over their emotions while gambling, steps that are relatively easy to implement, like not having your main wallet on the same device in which you gamble, or self-excluding after some bad sessions can be enough to protect your capital.

But many gamblers often assume this will never happen to them, and as such they take no steps to save themselves in the case it did, and that is how we end up hearing about those horror stories of gamblers that lost the money they saved for years in just a couple of hours.

Yes, but usually things that lead to goodness and are bound by prohibitions are usually easier to say and listen to than to implement or do, such as in the case of gambling where it is always recommended for anyone to set management, limits. along with self-control and emotions when involved in gambling, but yes, as we know, in the end there are some people who only say it but don't do it and that means they just say something that is nonsense because they don't want to do it and implement it, even though it is for safety's sake. themselves in the long term.

Actually, this is easy to do if basically from the start you have the correct understanding and perspective on gambling, where at least you understand that gambling is nothing more than a game of probability which will only end with one of two possibilities, namely winning or losing. , where winning is nothing more than a chance, while losing is a certainty and at least you also have to know that addiction is a situation that you will definitely experience if you are not able to manage and control your gambling activities well. By having an understanding like this, I am sure you don't need to be advised because you already have a correct basic understanding of the dangers of gambling which will make you more careful in acting and making decisions.

Easier to be said than done. But you know what, what you have said about how easy it is to have this self-control or anything about controlling one's emotion, it is not something you can easily do if you are really in that situation. That's more of the reason why we see a lot of people going out of the casino having a huge debt or completely zeroing their accounts due to being unable to control their emotions. It's one of the hardest things to do when it comes to gambling. Unless you are an experienced gambler who already has a realization and knows what needs to be done in that kind of situation.

Emotions will never be gone to us, this is the same problem when we trade. We have to control it because if we don't, bad decisions that we may regret afterwards will be done.

Those that have the talent and the means to control their emotions, they have gone through several experiences that they're able to force themselves in learning so.

Because without those mistakes and experiences, they won't learn how to be able to control them.

This thing about control, self-control and everything that has to do with emotions and I am trying to control it, I think it can be done when you use little money in a casino, it is easier, because if the money runs out there are two lessons left, the first It is the management of money and the second is emotions, not playing because I feel like a winner but playing because I really have the possibility of winning, and of making a difference, that is why it is better to seek control in everything, an upright player is one who can know how to control yourself and not lose too much money when you play, and you must also know how to withdraw from the game and not make mistakes without money. It is more difficult to be without money, but being with money gives us the option to do everything, even to continue playing.

Why would you say that strategy doesn't work, am also a big promoter of the fact that's gambling is totally luck based but to some extent I still believe that a good strategy can atleast slow your loses if not increase your winnings. When I talk about strategy I mean even the act of slowing down when knowing the times to stop because all these are vital for the gambler to stay in check and maybe get that lucky win because it's only when you have a straight mind that you can do or make something off your gambling session

Experiencing loss in gambling an something cause a gambler to be frustrated and that frustration will definitely bring more loss which is not a good sign of a responsible gambler. One of the reason why most person fall into the trap of irresponsible gambling is purely because they have no self control over their emotions. To some extent I relate gambling to business, if you observe your business is not going well as planned, all you need to do is to seat down and restrategize a better business setting and format you can use rather than putting in more money. If a business could not survive with low input and management the possibility for that shame business to survive with good investment is still very low. So all I'm saying is, if you cannot seat back and think of a better way to go about your gam le decision after you must have seen that it's not going well for you, then you are likely to get addicted and loss control over your finance.
