Topic: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! - page 3. (Read 1906 times)

Many gamblers, myself included sometimes, fall prey to the emotional rollercoaster of gambling. Winning streaks can fuel overconfidence, leading to reckless bets and potential losses. Losing streaks, on the other hand, can trigger the "revenge gambling" urge, where you chase losses with even bigger bets, digging yourself deeper into a financial hole.

Gambling isn't about discipline or willpower alone. It's about understanding the odds  and setting realistic expectations. It's about setting limits on your bets and sticking to them, even if it means walking away when you're ahead. Responsible gambling is about taking control. Set limits, manage your bankroll, and don't let emotions dictate your decisions. It's not about winning or losing, it's about enjoying the experience responsibly. Remember, the best bet is the one you never place if you can't afford it or handle the potential consequences.

Emotion works hand in hand with losses and profits, just be in stable condition, one can easily breath out solid strategies for winning. We gained experience from our past mistakes and takes them as lesson well learnt, never backing out but trembling on every solid ground we crumbled upon. In the space, we should be having good time milking the system but due to the high volatility of the market,  it becomes clearer not to mention any solid path than pushing upon our best. Losing becomes part of the game because there's quite other ways to enable ourselves become active.

Emotion is certainly bad in gambling, it pushes gamblers into doing what they don't want to do and they will hardly be able to control themselves until they waste that money. This can't be short of irresponsible gambling indeed and the only solution is to turn to a responsible gambler. When you know you are emotional towards gambling, you should not just gamble, that's the rule, or else you will always regret your action which makes it senseless to do such. But one can change the narrative through discipline and determination to gamble only when they are ready for it and also when they are in their right senses. This is the time that they are not so keen for the money to be made through it but just want to gamble for the fun part of it. Even if the gambler wants to make money, it should not be in such a desperate way or time that could trigger the emotion which will make them gamble badly.

Yes, I understand that this is a common problem experienced by gamblers especially those newbies who have just come because they are still very ambitious to get big wins as they always think and imagine, and the inability to accept the reality of losing is the biggest problem for most gamblers because these are all indications for a much worse situation in the end, and it is a fact that it is very difficult to ignore emotions when someone who has a goal to earn but what they experience is losing.

The lack of understanding of the real facts about gambling makes them especially beginners gamble without bringing any preparation such as risk management for prevention, simply put they will only stop when they run out of all the money, and not only that, because sometimes even if they win I would not call it a real win because it is very possible for them to eventually apply greed to get a much larger amount of winnings. So the bottom line for gamblers who have absolutely no self-control and risk management whatsoever is that they will continue to end up losing sessions because not all greed always ends with the results you want, because it's not that easy to succeed in getting a lucky streak, the key is to know when to paddle and when to pull over.

The best thing as you mentioned, is for Op to stop gambling for a while. This type of trouble can be a pain, but he can achieve this by avoiding any means of gambling. If he's an online gambler, staying clear from his machines or gadgets can be helpful. This sounds easy, but I'm lying, the process is quite difficult. He's getting into addiction and that's what causes chasing of losses and increase the rate at which he keeps losing money. I've never been in such a situation in a long time, but he needs to get a companion, a friend who doesn't gamble to help him with this, as he may not handle this alone.

Irresponsible gambling is not common to starters. It is even old gamblers who display reckless gambling. Gamblers who have had a long history of gambling or who have developed gambling habits earlier in life may be more prone to continuing or escalating their gambling behaviour as they gamble. These entrenched patterns of behaviour can contribute to the development of a gambling addiction. Sometimes, old gamblers may fall victim to the gambler’s fallacy, which is the mistaken belief that past outcomes can influence future results in games of chance. This fallacy can lead them to chase losses or believe that they are due for a win, fueling further gambling behaviour.

Most starters are scared of using huge money to gamble because of fear that they can lose it and sometimes when these starters have continued loss they can easily stop since they have not been caught in the gambling fantasy. Without a deep understanding of how gambling works, a starter may not feel as comfortable or confident in engaging in prolonged gambling sessions that could lead to addiction. This is different from an old gambler who may possess personality traits that make him more inclined to take risks and seek out thrilling experiences. These traits can make him more susceptible to developing an addiction to the excitement and uncertainty that gambling provides.

Hehehe, that happens often. When we Win Big, it means We have to be prepared to experience a Big Loss and it could even take away all the Big Wins we have gotten. Most gamblers won't be able to see their Big losses so they will just mourn their big losses but it doesn't seem like that will stop them from continuing to gamble. Even if they lose, I'm just saying that they will probably continue to gamble and deposit more money. That's why You really have to Take Care of yourself so that you don't become emotional when you play gambling because that will make you eager to continue playing. That is really not good for you, no i am saying like that, because you can lose a lot of money.

We already realize that it is a Bad Habit and we should be able to avoid it and will only use money that we can afford to lose. Yeah, Maybe we need to learn, But it's still worth doing so that we won't experience bad things like losing more money. Don't just want to chase Big Wins, but think about what you will get if you use a lot of money to gamble. You must be able to control your emotions so your emotions don't become Escalate.

You must be the exception to this rule, as being emotionally driven when betting and staying within the budget is far from the norm. To the OP asking for advice I would tell him to stop betting. If he has such problems controlling himself and keeps losing he's not going to discover a trick that will allow him to bet a little and still control himself. His case is either continue in the same vein, probably getting worse and losing too much over time, or quit for good. I'm clear about which I would choose, also bearing in mind that it's not going to be an easy thing to do.

Yes, you are right and actually being able to enjoy gambling with joy is not about winning but how we can feel adrenaline and also satisfaction with the results of gambling whether it is winning or losing.
If you only gamble to get pleasure from winning, it will be more difficult for every gambler and it will be very rare for them to enjoy every bet because of course they will only lose, not win.
Important point in gambling so that we can really get pleasure is when we gamble with money that we have been determined to lose and we can feel how to play like when we were little playing with friends and feel the excitement.

That way, when we lose, we will not experience an emotional increase and of course there will be no mindset of trying to recover from defeat by risking what should not be risked.
There will only be losses that occur and in the end emotions will increase to the point where you forget or lose awareness of how to take good care of yourself and limit the use of money in gambling.
Eventually losses get bigger and we lose much more money than what we set at the beginning when depositing money into the gambling site.

No, those who win will also become gambling addicts when they have the wrong approach and ambition in gambling.
But it is true that gamblers who lose will have greater chance of being in condition like this more quickly.

On the time that you would really be having that kind of win on your gambling activity then you would be somehow having that kind of boost up on which you would really be having those impressions that you
can actually do it and could really be able to make huge money in gambling on which you dont even think about the risk that do involved on it. Getting emotional when at loss? Its normal
since we dont really like on losing money and as a human then those reactions are normal since its money and we dont like on losing it and we would really be thriving our very best on acquiring or reaching out
those winning conditions which we know that it is really that hard in gambling.

Getting emotionally impulsive? You would really be finding up yourself on such big trouble on the time that you would be making having no control towards your financial spending.
This is where gamblers do usually mess up and its a never ending type of problem or simply the cycle.

You know what after win big and then slap by huge loss I tend to go all in or double it like you have said earlier I don't know why it just automatically happened to me. hahahhahaha when I lose it all I just inhale exhale and tried to calm down and close the site, but when I win after do all in I just inhale exhale close the site and laugh a little bit.

Tho it is a bad habit but as long you stay inline with your budget you probably fine doing it.

If I am to suggest a solution, I'll say you try your best to disconnect from the gambling and stay away from gambling with what you can't afford to part ways with. This is the very fundamental cause of attaching emotions to gambling.

Disconnecting your emotions will help you make rational decisions and help you maintain a healthy balance psychologically

It's just in human nature to be greedy whenever it involves money, but the difference here is that some have learned to control theirs Therefore, op you work on yourself by applying self-discipline, and stick to a betting budget, don't risk way more than you bear to lose, going above limits will bring about emotion, and don't bet randomly that is any amount that you want to use even when you lose, before you start state how much you would like to risk each time you bet because this will help put you on check.

Accepting defeat is one of the hardest challenges in gambling. Sometimes coming to terms with victory is no easier either. It is difficult to give any advice on how to control your emotions in gambling. I’ll tell you this: this is an individual path and there is no specific formula. I believe that if a person has a problem with gambling, then he needs to stop gambling. It's like quitting smoking, you either smoke or you don't, a little won't work

Those set of gamblers that have such mindset have hard alot of bad experience alot of loses compared to their earlier loses,  and for that it is not advisable to chance the losses in an attempt to recover what you have already lost.

This type of pattern of play has affected many gamblers and even it has forced some to slide into a worse situation aside from the losses.

The majority of those who became gambling addicts were people who lost and tried to recover from their losses and were unable to.

and I think like that, they already know very well what the impacts and risks of irresponsible gambling are, it's just that they are too engrossed in the gambling they do, so this makes them ignore all the risks and negative impacts that exist in gambling. And let alone beginners, for those who have been gambling for a long time, sometimes their emotions are still not well controlled so they behave carelessly which only results in losses.


inability to accept the final result of a gamble or a bet he placed. This can really make them gamble longer and make endless bets, and worse still, when the person runs out of budget for betting, instead of ending his gambling, he instead takes out loans or sells his personal items in order to continue betting in the hope of that losses will soon be recovered. However, instead of getting a big win that could recover his losses, the opposite happened, where this would only deepen the losses he experienced.

The gambler who playing the gambling with their money never like to loss their money in gambling site.This was the reason for the gambler to play more game after the loss in the gambling site,the loss can’t be repeated to the gambler who play the skills gained gambling site.Because the skills plays the huge role in the gambling industry,the luck may favour the person at the rare time,but the gambling sites skills was essential one for each gambler.The less experience gamblers will take some time to understand their game in the gambling site.But the experienced gamblers use to play the gambling with more skills in the same gambling site for longer periods.

The inability of gamblers to control their emotions in the game is something that usually happens to gamblers who have just started gambling. High curiosity about luck makes gamblers carry out more and more gambling activities.
what is happening is irresponsible gambling. I think this is almost the same as what novice gamblers experience. they don't have good control over their emotions when playing.
I have confidence that those who gamble understand the risks of gambling. they can win or lose. However, not all gamblers understand responsible gambling.

A lot of gamblers have experienced the same thing. When a gambler experiences losses while gambling, they may become eager to recover their losses quickly. They may start placing larger bets than usual, hoping to win big and make up for their previous losses. This type of behavior can lead to negative consequences such as accruing a large debt, selling off assets, or even engaging in illegal activities to obtain money for gambling.

Maybe what you mean is "if I get emotional then my losses can be bigger", because for the problem of losing it is a sure thing in gambling but increasing the number of losses is the result that you will experience when you cannot control your emotions and I think the inability to accept the fact of losing especially in large numbers is the problem here. So the truth is that you really need to change and justify your understanding of gambling, you must re-understand and reaffirm to yourself that gambling is a winning and losing activity, in the sense that you will always find one of the two results at the end of your gambling session.

On the other hand everyone doesn't like losing, but the point is if you don't like losing then isn't the solution to not touch gambling at all? Of course, because after all gambling is always about taking risks, you can only win when you are really lucky and on the other hand everyone will never know when they can be lucky because luck is always unknowable when it comes and when it goes which means if at the end of the session you lose it means you are unlucky. So as I said above that gambling is a win and lose activity, don't just be ready to win because I will call you a loser, but it is mandatory for all gamblers to be able to accept the fact of losing, and if you are still unable to be a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to accept defeat then it is better not to touch gambling at all.
