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.
A very pressing question for gamblers, in my opinion. After a victory, I personally find it easier to cope with emotions than after a defeat. I mean, there are people who, after winning, also go to extremes and try to win even more and end up losing everything.
The answer to your question lies in the question itself. Are you asking how to win this battle? I believe that it is not worth joining this battle. This will be the most competent decision. If you enter into this battle, you will be defeated from time to time. The best battle is the one that didn't take place.
What I mean?! Set yourself a budget, money that you can afford to lose, that is, that you can part with without any problems. If you lose and your bet does not go through, then do not make any other bets. You should have a clear strategy that you have developed before placing a bet, and not during the game when the pressures take over you
Gambling is not a battle bud, and the moment any one begins to believe and see gambling as a battle, which brings about the desire to want to find or device ways to win, then that very moment, such one or person have failed totally, in keeping or gambling to the purpose which gambling came about or was introduced in the first place, and such one can be referred to; or seen as a failed gambler.
And also, what strategies can you really come up with, that does guarantee you a win? Or even at most, increases you chances of winning even if it's just by 1 percent?
And tell me the type of gambling game where you believe strategy helps a gambler make better wins, aside from skill based games.
Can strategy be formed for slot, or casino games? Which we all know to be luck based games,?
How about sports betting, what type of strategy can you form for sports betting that will be able to change or bend the players on the field to conform with your strategy to guarantee you a win? Well, the answers to this questions are obvious.
But on the other hand, if the strategy you are talking about is totally on the gambler's personal side like setting a budget, setting limits and so on., then you are possibly right.
