The reason why its easy for most to get emotional and make bad gambling decisions is because money is involved and most individuals had to work hard to gain this money in the first place.

Its not only common in gambling, its also has the same affect in safe investments such as stocks. I knew many people who depositted their savings into a stock trading brokerage accounts and they only bought blue chip stocks like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.

They were happy when they were making money, however when the markets turned they quickly made bad decisions, and entered larger trades on margin, got margin called and lost their account. Usually the reason why they entered a 3x margin position was just to break-even on their prior losses and they would withdraw their money from the exchange and put it back into their savings account. But nobody who depositted $10,000 wants to withdraw $5,000 because it makes them feel bad so they keep trading until the $5000 becomes $0 and its makes matters much worse.

I do agree with you and I already change my mindset to have some fun and set the money i can afford to lose so I won't feel down or pressured of losing. I already stated that I experienced playing games without pressure and all I think is bet and bet and bet and have fun without worrying/pressured by the money I lose.

This happens because you just play the gambling only to make money from it. If you play for your fun and to enjoy you would be relaxed and never be under pressure. This is the best way to be stressed free and have a great time as well.

I experienced playing games with great pressure when losing and want to recover what I lose and I also experienced without feeling pressure as my mind is already expecting losing of what I can afford to lose and not afraid to take risky moves or decision and later on I got and earn more than the money I started playing then I stopped.

Yes, absolutely. We feel that we are a pro gambler among the other because we can win. But if you are too confident, it may cause you to get the losses in the next game. You never know about that. It's about how to control your emotion and have a feeling of invincible is also related to your emotion.

It could be a way for you to escape from the pressure and I am sure that every gambler can solve that. I never applied the same things as you because I never want to get involved deeper in the gambling and I am sure that I can control myself so I can quit gambling in anytime.

Do you think the winning effect causes the feeling of being invincible in the game? In many games, we use techniques, strategies, where you can find patterns, but the psychology we have in our brain is not accepting when we are losing, and we want to recover ... Is it a mistake to think this? Or should we assume the loss and come back at another time?

Many of these questions arise when we play, but we got a quick response and a solution: go ahead!

There are games like poker, where it is based on technique, cunning, psychology and luck. Some see it as a game full of attitude to deceive your opponents, others are experts with their techniques developed by experience.

When many players fall into vice, it is very difficult to control, some players end up losing everything, but you can apply the psychology of self-control.

For example: I enter the game with a certain balance, if I assume that this balance is totally lost, I can have two possibilities:

1.-As you know that this money you give for lost, you play without any pressure to see what happens, applying and giving free rein to your multiple strategies to see what results I can achieve.

2.- You play with the reason, waiting for you to recover your balance and multiply it.

I have applied this type of psychology always with option 1 and I play without stress. If I lose, I assume my loss, and if I win, it's like lifting a trophy. Do you think it's a way to escape from that little pressure that is exerted when playing? Have you ever applied this type of psychology?
