Excessive anger and excessive emotion should be discarded at a certain age. The decisions we make when we are angry are mostly wrong and we realize that when we are not angry. Anger is for pride people but it should not be done all the time. No matter how much anger or pride we have in doing business, we cannot apply it to our business or even if we are a professional gambler, we cannot make any decision out of anger or over-emotion.
When a gambler gambles with emotion or gambles with excessive anger, it can be seen that he is not using his brain properly in gambling and he is making wrong decisions one after another. He is being defeated and he is suffering as he takes wrong decisions one by one. Wherever there is need to show anger or wherever there is need to be insulted we have to do it, there is no point in showing our emotions or anger in the wrong place.
very often anger goes along with greed and this is the main problem of players who cannot control their emotions. You are absolutely right when you talk about a younger age, this is when character is formed and habits appear, so yes, younger players are more emotional and they pay for it balance in the game. Highly emotional people should not engage in gambling as luck is unlikely to smile on them.
I think there is a thin line between gambling with emotion and desperation because both manifest the same way. When you are filled with emotion, every warning signs are ignored just like when there is desperation. The consequence is always the fact that the sense of judgement is hindered. Even people who might think they have overcame gambling addiction tend to fall for this emotional huddle. It is therefore important for every gambler to do away with this emotion to be able to make better gambling decisions.
Lolz, before putting up this comment, did you try to first find out what emotion is, and what depression is? Because from what I've seen here, you and some other persons actually don't know that, emotion is like a general name, or title for every human feelings, while depression is actually a type of emotion, there are no way you compare the two because they are exactly both the same.
Trying to differentiate emotion and depression is like trying the differentiate between cryptocurrencies and bitcoin, such a thing makes no sense at all, since cryptocurrencies is a general name or title for all internet money, and bitcoin on its own is one of the internet money, which makes a cryptocurrency, or one the cryptocurrencies.
Depression is one the emotions humans feel, or go through, so, trying to say the difference between emotion and depression in gambling is absolutely wrong, for depression is an emotion, just same way that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency.
