True, however emotions always have a role in anything and not just in gambling problems, basically emotions are natural because it is something that exists in all humans, and if it turns out as you say that they experience even significant emotions when they lose then I think it is clear here I can already conclude that they are not responsible gamblers who are unable to accept the fact of defeat while on the other hand it is clear that gambling is about winning and losing.
The emotions that dominate can certainly make us make decisions that are not based on common sense because we are far from being calm in the sense that we take some actions based on resentment and tension which usually lead more to satisfaction or to restore the situation, this is what gamblers who have entered the addiction phase always do which maybe I would call them losers because they always want to win but are not ready to accept defeat. And yes it is clear as you said above that indeed this approach to gambling will cause many problems such as experiencing a greater number of losses which of course makes them even more emotional and this is what makes gamblers end up tragically losing all their property. Gambling is not that serious and it is a wrong mindset if you treat gambling as nothing more than a "possibility" activity that does not have any certainty.
As long as we can manages our emotions not to becomes higher because of the outcomes of playing gambling, we will not tempts to continue playing gambling no matter what the outcomes we got. We will always control the emotions because we knows that we are human and still weaks when we see the outcomes so we must be sure to always control ourselves. When we feel that we almost lose the control, we will stop playing gambling and leave the casino as soon as possible before we really lose that control.
The emotions can dominate and makes us can't thinks clear of what we must do so we must keep practices to prevent the self control lose. We can playing gambling with easiness without thinks about the outcomes because we don't search for the outcomes and only wants to enjoy gambling in our spare time. We we can calmness in playing gambling, we can use our time better and enjoy the gambling as an entertainment so we don't have to lose much money. When we can use the right approach in gambling, we can manage how much money we will use to playing gambling and we can also prevent the big lose. We can also manage our emotions not becoming high because we knows that gambling is part of the entertainment and a place to having fun. If we can always control ourselves in gambling, we can treat gambling as it should be and will not breaks our rules.
All these still buttress the view that we should be cautious with what we do in gambling and when we do not have that control over what is going on, it is better to avoid gambling. Taking a break will go a long way in resetting the psychology of gamblers, but it's sad that most do not often observe this. Emotion is a huge context that can come in majorly through greed and fear, and no matter how the two look, they are devastating and work together to make sure that the gambler regrets everything.
Without dabbling deep into the two, the solution I know has always been discipline. Discipline is a powerful characteristic in gambling that if one possesses, emotion will be subdued, and it is best actualise with the determination of the gambler. This is because it is one thing that you want to be disciplined, and it is another thing that you are actually disciplined. For this, we should have that strong Will and determination in us to be disciplined in gambling and also have our budget and plans intact. If there is the absence of the two, I bet that the gambler will only be wasting his time as he will not even have anything to be disciplined about but just be trying by error with no basis whatsoever. This can only result in many losses and it often happens in the absence of preparedness for gambling.
Yes, we must be careful when playing gambling because we can lose self-control anytime, especially if we don't learn more and practice it. Many people already lose their self-control and makes them to fall down to the gambling deeper without seeing a way to gets out from gambling. That's why we must always take care of ourselves when playing gambling so we don't follows what they did before. The emotions must be controlled and that's our jobs to always make sure that we can managed it well.
Yes, discipline is one of the ways that we must always practice so we don't break our rules when playing gambling and the best is we can enjoy gambling as entertainment without any wanting to make money. We knows that gambling is just an entertainment so we only use gambling in our spare time and will trying to make money from the other ways. When we can discipline ourselves in gambling, we will not have a trouble and we can makes our plan working well and always limits our budgets. We don't wasting our money and time just to playing gambling because we knows that we have the other activities that we must do and don't thinks that gambling is our main activities. That's what we must do for gambling and to avoids many problems that can happens if we forget to still have self-control.
Emotions cannot be eradicated completely among gamblers but people who have been involved in gambling for a long time handles emotions better than the ones that are new because they have encountered a lot of losses in the past and the losses have made them become more stronger so no matter the outcome of their bets they can handle their emotions perfectly. Gambling with emotions is really not good at all because you can become so vulnerable to the extent of doing awkward things if you continue to allow emotions to take over your gambling life. No one is happy especially when they continue to lose bets severally but that doesn't need to affect the mindset of a gambler.
Emotions can't eradicated but we can control emotions not to becomes high and we can playing gambling without worry. If we already have a bad experience and we trying to learn about self-control, we will see that we made a mistake before and we wants to fix that mistake so we don't do that again. We will not let emotions control us because that will cause us to lose much money and we can become addicted to gambling. We will see that playing gambling is just for having fun and will not have any intention to playing gambling for a long time because that can makes us losing much money. We will also learn to controls our minds so we will not thinks about earning from gambling because that will difficult to gets. We will see that gambling can tempts us to playing gambling too long but with good self-control, we can prevents that happens.
