Topic: We Feel All The Emotions When We Gamble (Read 8738 times)

People get so involved in gambling that they put all their energy  and mind into that,  and their money too that's why they become aggressive, sad ,depressed on loosing.  They have this feeling of wanting more and more and greediness .
This is because they put their real money into this ,if people don't put actual money into that there will be less aggressiveness .

It's actually the golden saying when it comes to gambling and risking in general. You should only risk what you can afford to lose, always. It should be carved in the mind of everyone so that there would be minimal regret to be felt wherein you won't be affected so much when you suffer from unexpected loss.

In gambling, there would really be times where you'll experience bad circumstances. Sometimes, the odds won't just side on your favor because it doesn't just feel like rewarding you. But it shouldn't be enough to feel you shaken and anxious to the point you'll go depressed. Just always set limitations and bet moderately and responsibly so you won't get bankrupt and you won't hate yourself in the future for making awful decisions.

For my point of view this emotion we feel due to loses actually comes in because of the real money involved, too a lot of people that are involved in gambling, really do not gamble with the money that they can afford to loose, hence the emotion comes in. for instance compare your emotions when you gamble with free Money that some of this platform gave to you like bonus to when you're actually playing with your money.
Therefore to minimize the emotion we get from gambling in my own experience, you strictly have to bet with the amount you can afford to loose.

Of course gambling play our emotions and also we can't denied that gambling is just like a drugs. We can't avoid gambling once we start gambling. If we win big amount of money then I will play more gambling. We feel all emotions while we play gamby

Gambling always wakes demons inside of me There are usually 3 of them, greed/rage/indifference. Emotions usually came in that order, I feel greedy and continue playing, even though I understand that I should stop. Then, after a huge lose, I feel rage and often shout curse words, later comes indifference - time when I hit spin/bet button and see (or just to wait) how my balance turns to zero. But not only gambling is about emotions, everything is about emotions. Without them, we would be robots (or dead).

I thought that eagerness to win in gambling is the spirit but should be done with moderation as the other guy said wouldn't have a negative effect on the player. I don't know about casino games and their Iteration and programmable events reoccurrence but I know for sure that in sportsbook, if you bet an amount and the ticket got cut, you have to go again with a fresh strategy. If the match you predicted doesn't favour you, the next one will do because the match you actually have in mind and refuse to stake sometimes ends up being the one that use to go as predicted in your mind, all you need in gambling is patience and moderation.

If you let your emotion to chase your losses and you wouldn't feel happy when you're not getting what you want, I think you're a gambling addict. Personally I never let my emotion to control my gambling activity because I can control myself very well. It just like you control to not smoke, drink, sex, drug and the other thing that can make us addicted. As long as you can control yourself, you will be fine.

If we could understand that gambling using cryptocurrencies could help us to reduce the number of big losses, we would not try to use more amounts because it's not worth doing. But whatever results in we get, the games can tempt us to play again and only by having good self-control can we stop on time and instead, we can hold back excessive emotions. However, it is difficult, but we must keep trying. Otherwise, destruction is just a matter of waiting for its time to come to us. And when it begins to happen, we will not notice it other than to see the loss unfold before us.

when people keep saying: "don't put emotions in games or any investment" people are not lying, as hard as it may seem to be able to not put feelings when playing, one has to be able not to put feelings when playing. the moment he puts money in the game, the person needs to say to himself: "this is a lost money, I won't miss it and I won't care about it" and when the person loses all the money he used in the game, he won't feel sadness or any other negative emotion, and if the person wins in the game, he will only see the money increase, but it will not create high expectations, he can even use the profit to spend on something in the real world. but always keeping in mind: "money you put in the casino to play is money lost"


Now that you mention it, sometimes I watch people, and I see the following: there are people who, when the day comes to receive their salary, take 25% to have fun, on this list of fun for these people are: alcoholic drinks, short trips something for a few days (on weekends) night walks. the funniest thing about it is that I don't see anyone criticizing when these people come home drunk that they can't even stand or walk, but if a person takes 25% of their salary to have fun and on the list of fun they have: "casinos and gambling" then there will be a huge list of people criticizing. It's strange how society thinks and acts

Of course, gambling awakens various emotions, everything is more interesting when feelings and emotions are involved. We feel excited when we get to do our favorite stuff, feeling happy when we win, and depressed and frustrated when we lose are integral parts of everything we do in life. This is particularly with people at young ages, they go from extreme to extreme even while playing the most ordinary kid games. As we grow and mature, we learn to control it, and how to deal with it...


Well, it's character. You know when you play some game and you are stuck at some level... I am ready to try over and over again, to play night after night just to eventually win, and some people will get bored and quit after a few tries! But with gambling, the tricky part is deciding where/what is the victory. Making a few bucks or x10k? Unlike ordinary gambling games, we decide ourselves where the end is, and that decision always depends on the current mood and, of course, character. One thing is certain, those who don't know how to control their emotions will have less success than those who know how to tame their emotions and follow their plan.

Where I live it is very common for some people to go to the casino to unwind themselves after a difficult week on their jobs, and while it is true that there is always a risk for people to go beyond this initial goal, as long as you are watchful of your emotions this should not present too much of a problem.

After all in the market of cryptocurrencies we can gamble with amounts of money which are very small, so not only you can get a lot of fun out of casinos, your expenditures can be quite small if we compare them to other hobbies you may enjoy.

Oh definitely! Gambling triggers all sorts of emotions (e.g. anger, happiness, fear, anxiety, etc.) and that is one of the reasons on why people love gambling.

Take this as an example: whenever you try to do an extreme sport, you are scared initially of trying it out. But once you have tried it, there is this feeling of relief where you have accomplished something that was seemingly impossible but you triumphed on the end. These waves of emotions can also be felt while a person gambles- the adrenaline of waiting, the anxiety while betting your money, and the happiness/sadness that you feel in the end after you have won/lost your bet.

This is practically the reason on why some people use gambling as a form of entertainment.

It's just normal to feel emotional when gambling but it's up to us where those emotions will bring us.

To fully stop gambling, that requires more eagerness and dedication as that was hard to do especially for those who are already addicted.

Not just emotions but trying to think of other ways to help us stop gambling should be considered if ever we decided to do it.

Over gambling is what create all that mental issues and drive you to a very dangerous addiction, if everyone is just gambling the money that you can afford to lose which totally and clearly mean you won’t try to recover that money if you lose it with more money that you need as cutting from your children or your food money just to gamble trying to recover. We all felt that bad feelings and emotions when losing some money in games but we surely know it’s not always a lucky day for us and also not everyday is unlucky.
If you started feeling addicted and depressed because of your gamble losses there’s some services that will take care of you and help you pass through that period. I also suggest you to stop gambling as many casinos have self ban feature where you can ban yourself from gambling ever again or also sitting limits for your maximum gamble

but sometimes , it will lead to another problem like overspending. We should learn how to manage our eagerness to win and to play frequently, there's a major impact of our emotions in the way we see gamble, and for me when we are sad , we should not play and we should not make it as our outlet to release emotion I do not know if someone will agree to me but only play when you are okay, so that it will not lead to another problem and issues, stabilize your mind so you can play without any problem.

and we feel very strong emotion when we lose the hard earned money and its gone forever.
Gambling can steal ones peace and happy - it is no joke

Indeed, sometimes playing gambling requires emotions to drive adrenaline and get lucky as we know.
but back to the original thought that gamblers if they cannot control their emotions when attacking gambling will cause excessive adrenaline and make mental down and depressed. if it's like that it will be very difficult to control the control that has occurred at that time.

so a gambler has reasonable emotions but still has to maintain or control his emotions so he doesn't lose even more money

there will be positive and negative effects, emotions when used properly and not excessively will give a warning to the decisions made when investing. But if emotions are too excessive and uncontrolled, they will have a bad effect so that it cannot make good decisions. The emotions that are released when gambling is more likely to be emotions that are too passionate to win and continue to win, this will lead to addiction to gambling so that it cannot be controlled.

Emotions are human nature. It's impossible to not feel emotional when we do gambling.

If the goal is to stop gambling, we really need to force ourselves to stop it no matter what, regardless of the big emotion we will feel.

It's hard to totally stop gambling but only us can help ourselves.

Well yes but that's why we do everything that's fun. To feel!

And more we feel, more alive we feel.

But feeding that hungry brain with instant gradification with this sort supernormal stimululus that hijacks your brain convincing that this must be super important. No matter if it's console gaming, surfing on the internet, gambling, smoking, eating sugar etc is a recipe for addiction.

So you need to do reality check once in the while and get that rush from a different, more sustainable source like going to gym, swimming, meditating or what ever works for you. It won't be instant gradification but in time it will work to keep the balance.
