Topic: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it - page 11. (Read 2929 times)

Exactly alot of gamblers are only on the side of making more money whereas the chances of understanding how to use strategies principles to achieve that is belittled but rather what the think is staking higher results to big wins.
But nevertheless the insurgency of emotions have made a lot of gamblers to be weaker vessels like you said and it has altered their winnings in general.

So definitely when a gambler knows how to control his emotions and channeit to the positive end he's sure of making a good win whenever he find himself to gamble.

I agree that emotions are one of the factors that influence someone's gambling activities, whether it is good or bad, it all depends on how someone's emotions are. When someone cannot regulate their emotions, and tends to play without rules, only following their emotions, it will be something that can be detrimental to the gambler, both in the short and long term. Therefore gamblers need to regulate their emotions and not let them take control of them, so that things that do not need to happen, will not happen to them.

Exactly the same point as what I said before in this thread. The ability to control emotions is good to minimize the possible bad effect of gambling but it will not help us to have bigger chance to make money from gambling. There is no guarantee in gambling, whoever we are, how patient we are, how good our emotion control, how good our bankroll because Luck does not care about all these things. No body knows when the luck come, to whom the luck come, and how the luck come because it is like a mystery that we will never able to predict.

Great idea, angrybirdy, talking to people about self-control with no lectures on ways to achieve it is a waste of effort. When a person isn't prepared to practice what he's been taught, he'll will fall prey to losses, while gambling. Since no service is available, everywhere, to handle gamblers on self-control, gamblers need to do it themselves. Players who invest time in deep learning on self-control, won't forget easily to maintain strong self-control in gambling. The process every gambler faces in gambling happens quickly and they move ahead to catch up with the game. Not realizing that it's quite difficult to make up for the expectations we had before starting out for the day.

Players with self-control will easily figure this out and focus on stopping the session and waiting for another moment. While the naive gamblers would chase it till the bitter end. Where they'll have nothing left on their bankroll. The urge to chase this loss is quite strong, and gamblers must be prepared to get hold of their emotions. As it's in control of this urge, players also need to master how it works. Staying intelligent emotionally is more crucial than picking games to book. Gamblers are easily broken when they're losing. And they won't control this because they're lost, already, and play only for the sake of getting back what they've lost. Erupting new troubles for the player and more heartbreak.  

Luck is very important for every gambler because this is the only way we could keep making profits for ourselves without much difficulties just like other unfortunate gamblers that do complain that they don't always make profits from betting. It is very important for us to always look for better ways to keep getting fortunate with better luck to win next time.

 The only way we could keep making money from betting is when we have the strategy and the skill and having luck too would make everything easier for us to keep doing without bothers. Emotions is one of the factors that could worse and reduce the level of profits we tend to make byg playing games and betting on a casino. We need to be wise and do things in order for us to keep winning for ourselves.

Theoretically, self-control is an important part of gambling. even if someone is just playing for fun.  No doubt, emotions can change the situation when we carry out a gambling session. One more thing, basically when we have a gambling session, emotions will take part in it. yeah, because without emotions we wouldn't do any activities. In gambling, emotions can change according to the situation when we play. Angry emotions, happy and happy emotions always accompany us when we gamble. It doesn't matter if a gambler just plays without ambition, but when the situation is out of control, the emotion of anger will take over our gambling psychology. and usually if it's like this, most gamblers end up losing, even though this doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

Referring to what you said, controlling emotions is not as easy as we discussed. In practice, controlling emotions is quite difficult. especially, when you're worried because the game doesn't match your expectations. However, if discipline is often practiced, at least self-control can prevent someone from gambling carelessly. Unfortunately, we often lose control even though we have trained self-control. and IMO, this is one side of gambling. however, at least what you say can be justified.

Says who? You can win with your high level of emotions, because losing and winning when gambling depends on luck, not your emotions, so someone who is emotional when gambling can win if its time for them to get lucky.

The problem will start after the first win, because anyone who can't control their emotions can easily be controlled or manipulated, even by the casinos and machines, most times, casinos will give you chance to win to hinder your thoughts about casinos and gambling.

For someone with a lot of uncontrollable emotions, they will easily think that they will win their next game again, and with such belief they will want to increase the amount they want to risk on the bets.

I have been told that if you are planning to win big but you won only little you should appreciate it because there are many gamblers that want to win just little like you. It doesn't matter how much you win many times, the amount you staked will always elevate your potential winning.
When you stake small money on bet and you planning to win big, there is always a huge risk involved. IMO the little the safer, when you bet small odds and put big money on them it might develop more potential winning for you.
However, winning in gambling always depends on risk and luck, these 2 things can not be removed from gambling, if they you don't risk you can win or either lose. There's gamblers that doesn't believe in big odds.

It is common for gamblers struggling with addiction to feel regretful for not increasing bets after winning small amounts as you have noted. This action stems from the desire to chase losses or maximize wins quickly. The fact that addicted gamblers lack contentment also triggers this behaviour. In my thinking, the use of a multiple betting system which is described as the Martingale system, is based on the flawed belief that losses will eventually be recouped by increasing the size of subsequent bets. This strategy is risky and can result in significant financial losses if not controlled. The reason is not farfetched. Gambling is unpredictable so when a gambler has a parallel loss it will affect his finances severely.

When a gambler has a parallel loss, it will be difficult for him to control his emotions. Losses can evoke emotions of frustration, disappointment, and desperation, prompting gamblers to engage in riskier behaviours in an attempt to recover their losses. The inability to control these emotions is a hallmark of gambling addiction. Hence, the need for a gamble to control his emotions.

I used to be a gambling addict. And what I feel when gambling is when I win a small bet, I feel regretful why I didn't increase my bet. When I lose I try to apply a multiple betting system so that if I lose I will try to increase the bet to 1.25x. It's all because I can't control my emotions. And I agree with you that most gamblers gamble to make money. But I hope you never think that gambling can be a source of income for you. Gambling is full of risks. You can win and lose. It's not like a business you can control. You cannot control the betting results.

What if we look on the situation from "we gamble to get emotions" and "we have a limit to lose or budget for gambling" point of view? If we want to get some thrill, to get feeling of intense after placing a bet (to get more excitement after winning). Or our goal is to have fun. I set the amount I can afford to lose and start playing ridiculous, I shout when I win or lose. This isnt that bad I think. But many suggest to basically be emotionless body during gambling session.

but this is only easy to say, of course gamblers who gamble will not easily be able to control their emotions, because when gambling everything can change instantly from one moment to another. because gambling has a strong temptation gamblers who gamble have a target at the beginning before gambling, but when they are gambling, there is a possibility that their goals or motives and targets will change, therefore it is very difficult to control their emotions when gambling. .

Therefore, we must be able to control our emotions when gambling, because this will determine the future and it is clear that if we cannot control our emotions then bad things can happen, such as huge losses. Basically, gambling is carried out on one's own actions so if you can't control your emotions then you should be able to accept the risks that will occur and conversely, if we can control our emotions then everything will be fine.

That's true, no one can achieve anything in life without having good control over you emotions and in thigns that you need to pay attention to mind more like gambling, you even need to have clear mind and emotions, that's why it's not good to gamble when you are experiencing losing cause you would enter a state of mind that might be depressing or sadness and you would end up losing more, so yeah good emotional control is good.

To me, gambling is a game of luck regardless of your emotional state as at that particular time, because even though you are emotional, you can still have some winnings if your prediction is right,  but if you are not in the right emotional state, any time you lose, it will drive you into frustration, and the more frustrating you become, the more you gamblers without control, the only thing that can stop you in that moment is when all your money have been liquidated, and if it's a money you can't afford to lose, your emotional state will be even worse, so it's advisable not to take gambling as a source of living, so that you won't get emotional attach to it.

When it comes to self-control, it's a little difficult and long before we can apply to ourselves, it's easy to say that this should be done or should be thought this way, but in reality, it's hard to do especially if someone is emotionally unstable or has a history of overthinking. It's hard to control our emotions that's why so many people or health professionals offer us free seminars on this, so we know what we need to do to improve ourselves. You say, once we learn how to handle our emotions properly, we can make better decisions, we can think better when we are in difficult situations like gambling.

One of the great things about improving the control over our emotions when we are gambling, is that this will help you to control your emotions as well in most other circumstances, so if you are able to remain calm even when a series of bad losses were to happen to you, this makes it more likely that when the same happens to you in another context, you will be able to remain calm as well, improving your chances of taking the correct decision and avoid many costly mistakes that people make when they are not thinking clearly.

You are right we must have to control our emotions both at the time of winning as well as losing. If we cant control at the time of winning then we may loss and if we cant at the time of losing then we may make more loses.

Emotions needs to be controlled at all times and not only when you lost. There are more losses than winning in gambling therefore the timye when you control your emotions during losses is more but don't forget to control your emotions too after winning or you might lose all the money that you have won. After you win, you'll think that you're lucky that very day and will be gambling out of your target, strategy or plans and when you do that, you'll give room for greed to come in.

Being greedy will make you not to be satisfied with the profits you have made from gambling regardless of how small the winning is and you'll want to win more but you can't then this will lead to you chasing after your losses when you're done losing all the money that you had for the day. Controlling your emotions will help you to stay successful when gambling therefore it shouldn't be neglected or you'll regret it.

Even for those that have no ambitions to become profitable, gaining control over their emotions is a good idea, as it is often the case that once people begin to lose, they get emotional about it, a reaction that can be understood by anyone since no one likes to lose money, but if the reaction of that person is very negative, it is entirely possible they will take a series of decisions which will cause them to lose even more money, while someone that controlled their emotions, will be able to limit their losses and cut their session short.

If we answer the question posed by OP, then we should probably note that any person, and any player in general, always has some kind of balance between his logical, reasonable behavior and his emotional component of his actions.  This applies to gambling to a very strong extent.  
From my experience in gambling, I can say that I often notice that my states are quite different in this very correlation of reasonable logic and self-control and emotions.  
I don’t even know how this ratio is determined at any specific time intervals, but in general it can be said to be a “wave process.”  Here we can only guess why at some point in the game the state is one, and at another it changes, for example towards logic.  Maybe the weather is changing, or a magnetic storm has hit the Earth, or you just didn’t sleep well, or drank coffee.  Or didn’t drink coffee...
This is if you don’t think about alcohol, when everything changes.  
This is roughly how I understand my own thought processes when it comes to gambling.  
I think that many other people experience similar processes during their gaming.
