Topic: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! - page 10. (Read 1906 times)

Not all those who lost and double their bets to chase their losses are carried away by their emotions, some are actually doing it because it is a strategy called martingale. The people who are using such strategy are actually chasing for profit, so they don't have time to chase for losses so they cut to the the chase double their bets and if they win the next bet should be a profit.
Anyways, being emotional in gambling is such a huge problem. You'd tend to be frustrated everytime you lose. I guess the only solution to that is to bring money enough for gambling when you visit to a casino or deposit enough amount in an online casino. Don't go beyond your gambling threshold.

It's really a problem if you can't control yourself when playing. That's the first thing that we should learn since gambling is a game of chance and there's no room for high expectation. It's inevitable to have losses therefore we should be prepared for it. Though it's a human nature to be tempted to chase back what we lost (by doing a martingale strategy) believing that it is the answer to recover our losses fast.

The solution to this is having a self-control. You're the only one who can do this thus before playing condition yourself not to exceeds on your limit and learn when you should stop. If you keep chasing the losses because you can't control your emotion then expect to have repetitive situation since you can't handle yourself.

Once upon a time I read the opinion of one trader about emotions. There he defended emotions and wrote that they are vital to trading. After all, emotions give us motivation to continue the game, or rather, our work, when, for example, we have a streak of failures. Emotions make us human. If a trader or gambler were not emotional people, then they would have little reason to gamble. Yes, winning motivates you to continue playing. Earning money in the long term is also motivating. But if you have not yet managed to create a profitable system for yourself, then only emotions can help with this. You will get something useful from the game, even if you have no winnings or they do not provide a stable income.

Conclusion from your experience from what has been told in the topic has motivation to win. Emotions will be difficult to control when the initial goal does not meet expectations, increasing the number of bets when you are losing is not the right solution, this action will make you lose control even more which will make you experience bigger losses. Emotional control is very necessary when you are in any situation, when you are lucky, try to play more carefully and when you lose, be a responsible gambler by controlling your emotions so that you don't lose more money.

As a beginner, I am the same as you, sometimes my emotions become less controllable when gambling, both when I win and when I lose. Especially if I lose in a row, this can really make my blood pressure go up and down.

The winnings that I get in gambling, sometimes this can cause excessive euphoria, which makes me more confident to continue playing and increasing the bet amount, in the hope that I can achieve bigger profits than before. Because at that time I thought that luck was really on my side. And it turns out that this is a wrong assumption that only leads to losses.

Likewise, when I lose, it can really make me easily get emotional by continuing to play, in the hope that the losses I experienced previously can be replaced immediately from subsequent gambling. And again, this is a wrong assumption, which only leads to big losses and deep regret.

Emotion is a bad habit where this emotion can affect people's life in many areas, especially in the case of gambling, if you can imagine, then you will definitely face losses if you gamble based on emotions. Emotions have no place especially in gambling and gamblers who bet on emotion only face losses. I too have bet many times in such situations and faced losses many times.

Loses in gambling is inevitable and at that we have to settle within yourself  to accept that fact that loses and winning in gambling always happens at will and for that, one needs to be prepared to experience it at any point in time, so for sure it becomes hard to know whether or not, gambling with emotions is the root cause of loses, but then also we have to agree with the fact that gambling under the influence of any thing could affect our total experience and result of the games since it gonna affect our thoughts and actions which is what makes up for the total outcome of your games selection as a gambler.


Total avoidance of greed is what makes the difference in gambling if you can manage your emotional state of mind and coming up.

There are somethings you should never do out of emotions and gambling is one of them. I know the connection with money, profits and losses but if you want to survive gambling, the way you expect profit is the same way you should expect loss so you don't get disappointed when your expectations doesn't satisfy you. It's even stupid to want to use emotion to double your money to offset your losses, that's like chasing money lost.


I'm not sure if there is any gambler that has went through this rabbit hole of loss, try this and was successful. Fi you loss money gambling, be cool and act as if you have never loss anything so that your brain can be smooth in making accurate games and wagered an amount you can afford to lose. This money you can afford to lose is very important to avoid any further regret that will affect your days and weeks.

 The best way to deal with this kind of behavior is to set up a bankroll and try as much as possible ti stay disciplined to it, once you have exceed the certain amount that’s is enough reason why you should give  it a pause for sometime and re-strategize. If gambling is not your thing you permanently exceed from. They are lot of people out there doing very well without even having to gamble  one way or the other. Of course emotions is bound to set in, you are not gambling for free, your hard earn money is at stake. So it normal if you have a stomach hurt when you’re losing, nobody wants to lose, after all  the main aim of even staking the bet is to win.
   So OP it is definitely normal to have emotions while gambling, don’t just allow the emotions to overwhelm, the ability for you to be able to control this emotion and also stick to you discipline will determine how responsible you are. We should be able  to control how gambling habit rather than let the gambling have a control of us. The problem with gambling is just greed once we can cut down this vice our gambling journey wouldn’t be much of a rollercoaster.

The most effective way to fight emotions is to think realistically. When you can think realistically, you will accept the defeats and wins that you experience without any mental burden.
Because no matter what, what you are facing is a systematic game, where in fact your winnings are no more than 20% when playing.
Revenge of defeat is the beginning of people falling into making the loss of a lot of money even more real. Stop while you remember and look for other activities that can calm you down.

Same here, actually I don't check whether when I am emotional I start losing, although I am not the only one who's emotions make to lose when gambling, that's not good as gamblers have to keep everything that's bordering th aside because the time they starts thinking of their whats on their mind they can not afford the concentrations to predict games and when a gambler can not prefict the real outcome of a game he will lose.
IMO even when you are very concentrated on your predictions, you can still lose if lost didn't find a better place in your stake, still a gambler have to create a room for luck to find the perfect area to reside.

Everyone gambles starting by looking for entertainment and trying to gamble safely, That why, it can be a ways to gamble with safelt, so you are not to get caught up in excessive emotions, of course readiness and consideration were needed. Don't let losses make you fail to maintain your emotions when you already have preparations. The way to do this is to set a target for the maximum spins loss you have to do, if you don't win, you must stop according to your initial plan.

It's a normal human thing to be emotional. You're not doing anything wrong and if you feel like you're too emotional and it influences your gambling it means you're too human. Do you really want to dehumanize yourself? Maybe play games that limit your involvement. Poker or sports bets allow your feelings to intervene because you will bet on the team that you like, or a player you look up to. Play stupid games like slots and emotions won't matter.

This was the important factor and gambler should avoid of allow their own emotions in gambling or trading.Most of the experienced gamblers will know about this gambling loss and his consequence.The gamblers who was less experienced in gambling are forced to loss some dollars at the end of the gambling.If you loss the game at the gambling,then it mean you are at initial face of gambling.The gamblers who face losses in their gambling game should share their opinions with the new gambling friends.Because his guidelines may be helpful for the new gamblers to loss their money at the initial face of gambling.

Rationally it should be like that or the exact steps to stop betting for a moment, and when we are stable and our minds are clear then we start again. However, in reality it is actually the opposite, especially if emotions are running high and various suspicions arise that if we use more money or even go all in we can recover our losses and even get bigger profits. This abnormal emotional condition appears more often than rational thinking and patient.

Emotions are bad for both trading and gambling. And that's why everyone should first follow these rules that never do any betting or gambling based on emotions. I have seen most people make this mistake many times. I myself have made this mistake several times and each time I have successfully lost. At present, I have refrained from such emotion betting or gambling, I have a suggestion for you that do not gamble based on emotion. It is very important to have self-control in the case of gambling, if it is not there is a possibility of losing everything in addition to being addicted.

Emotions is a bad gambling attributes because it deprive you the ability to have a focus view of the analysis of the game since you mind is divided, most gambler's don't respond to emotions and that is why they can be able to manage themselves from falling into some condition that could be hard for them to recover from at some point.

Most of us that have managed to sustain ourselves from falling into possible addiction or conditions thatay not being good for us to bear have all done so by applying that simple approach of not allowing ourselves to be overly eaten by emotions.

You will definitely make you lose 100% if your mind is not prepared for gambling pressure. Being emotional will male you vulnerable because you can’t think straight to play in discipline manner. I never experienced to win any game on my gambling experience when I’m a having a rough time emotionally with my work stress. It always ended up in lose because I keep rushing playing because I’m too bored on games that doesn’t have any significant result.

I always making sure that my schedule free for that day and doesn’t have any disturbances that will make my mood bad. I always lock my gaming room and play peacefully. This way I can play without any wild card that will affect my game while I can play patiently to maximum level. This is my secret why my winning percentage is high on gambling.

I have experienced bad situations in gambling in the past and at this time I realized that whatever happens in gambling, gambling is still just a game that will actually entertain us, not encourage us to become angry or chase after defeat.
logically all gambling is another form of playing video games, it's just that gambling involves money to be able to enjoy the fun and we as gamblers should understand this so as not to get too emotional when we lose because no matter what we do we still lose because gambling is built not to provide wealth to its customers.
on the one hand, anyone must realize that we have to think logically to see how gambling works and we don't need to be so emotional that we lose control and spend a lot of money just to chase losses that will never return.

defeats we have experienced should be an experience and we learn that we can never take these defeats again as long as we are not lucky, even as long as we are lucky, the wins will not be equivalent to the losses you get.
If we talk about sports betting, maybe this is true, when you get emotional and try to bet again on another match, you will definitely lose your positive thinking and will just bet without doing research and in the end your bet will lose again.

advice for anyone, if you feel emotional when you lose, it would be better to force yourself to stop immediately and look for other activities to divert your mind so as not to remember the defeat or if not and still force yourself to gamble, I'm sure the bigger the loss will be.

Nope, since I don't bet very much, I don't get too worked up. Well, I suppose that since some of them are delusional, some gamblers would display such behavior after losing. I think that people may become irrational in their decision-making due to the gambler's fallacy. For instance, following a series of losses, some gamblers would be motivated by pride or a refusal to give up, which would lead them to raise their stakes in an effort to swiftly make up for their losses.
Chasing losses, as others have pointed out, will raise the likelihood of later victories. However, the chances are the same regardless of the results because every gambling event happens independently of the ones that came before it. After a loss, they may believe that a subsequent win will make up for their losses and turn a profit, which is why they double their wager. If they continue to lose while the bet size increases dramatically, though, this could result in large financial losses.
