Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?
I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.
That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.
- Most of the gamblers who become emotional are carried away in fights, which often become the cause of losing. It means that no one became emotional about gambling and won when they played in the casino. I have never heard of such a scenario.
That's why, as much as possible, if we can control ourselves, it's better, and in order to do something like this, I think self-discipline is the most important thing to do when we gamble.
Not too much engagement to avoid being emotional, it's best to keep your control and stay focus with your goal, most of the time when you got carried away by emotion it brings out your desire to exceed from what you setup, exceeding becuase of your emotion either you are in the winning side or losing side but once you are already emotional the chance that you will follow that emotion can lead you to lose your bet, better to always keep what you plan ahead and avoid following your emotion if you still can.
Not able to control your emotions has been a major reason why many gamblers tend to lose more than their budget.
Doubling up the bet could be one way to recover the loss but the problem arises when keep repeating that without a stop loss.
We need to set a limit to our losses after which we should stop for the time being but many fail to accomplish this and end up in a series of losses.
A common mistake when losing, trying to quickly recover you'll be force to double your bet, and most of the time that leads you to lose more and with aggression inside that kind emotion will eat you up and push you to keep adding more money, end of the day you lose more than you can let go.
