I agree with you on this
An experienced gambler who has been fully involved in the lifestyle for a long period of time will less likely lose control of his emotions if he eventually loses his bets. This is true for anyone who has gathered years of experience in a particular field because they have used those years to create a balance between their activities and their emotions. Loses are normal to them because they understand fully the rules of the game. Being all emotional before or after every gambling session does not in any way boost one's confidence to think logically, rather it will distract the gambler and put him in a state of confusion as to what amount to stake or what options to choose.  These traits can commonly be seen in newbie gamblers who attach lots of emotions to their bets. Though we know gambling is a game of luck and highly risky, but gambling with mixed feelings is even riskier.

The situation of OP is even good, once you know you are having an issue all by yourself, that is when your problem is half-solved, after all, he has located the issues already, so finding the right solution to it is the next step. As it is, I believe that the OP should try some approach to curb this, Willpower is part of it but I would like the OP to first make sure that he takes a break from gambling for a while. It could be a week, 2 weeks or even a month or thereabout, and come back later, then try to bet again on returning. But this time with a changed approach and mindset, he should have known better how gambling works, the good and the bad side of it, so he would now use the experience to change the narrative as against what he did the former time.

I suggest this because taking a break helps people to cool their heads/minds, they will surely be able to think straight and will be able to ponder on their strengths and weaknesses and the good and errors of their ways so as to change the narrative. On coming back, it could have been better, but also with a better mindset, discipline and know-how. Through this, I believe that if truly willing and corrected, there will be significant changes. Fine, one needs self-control as you advised but it may not be effective at that moment when the mind is infested and the person is still not stable. It is after that break that stability would be made possible.

I understand that you are worried about your emotional attitude towards gambling. I am an experienced gambler myself, and I can share with you some tips that have helped me to control my emotions and enjoy gambling. First of all, it is important to remember that gambling is a game of luck. Even if you use the right strategy, you can still lose. Therefore, it is important not to take losing as a personal defeat. Instead, just distract yourself and try again later. Another important tip is to set a budget and stick to it strictly. This will help you avoid overspending and making rash decisions. Finally, it is important to remember that gambling is for fun and not a way to make money. If you start to feel stressed or frustrated, it's a sign that it's time to stop

Gambling is not the war,it was the game.We need to understand the gambling game to shine in that game.Without knowing about the game,how the gambler will shine in that game.The gambler need to understand the strategy for the game,because the random gambler will lose their deposit money even they started the betting with 1k dollar for the betting.The gambling is not the game,it's the game platform which help us to earn some money using the analytical skill of the game.


The anger and emotion are the two enemy of the gamblers,traders.The gamblers should not loss the money by the bad strategy,the strategy must be build using their own experience.The game should be played with the minimum capital to avoid of huge loss in the gambling.The gamblers who can afford the loss can consider the gambling as an entertainment.

To be honest it is not easy to control your emotions when you are in gambling. Yes, when you are not gambling, then people will think that they will be able to control their emotions but in reality, when they start playing, they never know how the emotional gambling will take over them.


Other than this, most of the gamblers won't even know that they are emotional while playing. They keep on thinking that they are on the right path, not emotional but their moves in gambling are all emotional. Some people think that they are winning and hence they are not emotionally trading. Sometimes you may win in the the short run even though you are emotional, but then it won't guarantee that you will lose. An emotional gambler may win more than the number of times, he loses.

Trying to chase losses is very common to most newbie gamblers it a big issue that require strict discipline before it can be overcome, I had personally experience that same issue of not controlling emotions after streaks of losses unfortunately in my bid to recover those losses I ended up with more losses because at that moment I always gamble blindly withy following my strategy, however I overcame that challenge by always funding my gambling account with small and fixed amount of money which I can afford to lose thereafter bet with bit amount of money in the account, if I win consistently I always ensured that I withdraw my profits and if I lose a bet I close my App and waited for another opportunity before logging in again.

The moment that we discover the reason to some of our losses then we begin to apply more caution to how being emotional or nervous we are each time we are gambling, this will really affect the result we should have because by then, we are no longer ourself or being under the same person we have always been than only been controlled emotionally by every of our actions when gambling, this can be dealt with by how we discipline ourselves, we cannot keep affording to loosing things at the expense of our own personal behaviors from what we do.

Feeling annoyed or emotional when you lose, it cannot be denied that most gamblers have felt this way. Especially if you are new to the world of gambling, when you experience defeat it will certainly make you feel very emotional.
Then to reduce these emotional feelings, according to my personal experience, there are several factors that must be done.

• Funds used for gambling (Cold or Hot)

This is the most important factor. Because this factor will definitely determine our emotions when we lose. Because if, for example, the funds used are hot money, then when you lose or lose, your emotions will definitely explode even more. However, it is different if, for example, you experience a loss but the funds used for gambling are cold funds. It feels like emotions are not too explosive and can still be controlled.

• Then about experience and habits

From longer experience in the world of gambling, losing or losing is no longer something strange or surprising. So it is natural that beginners in the world of gambling will definitely be more emotional when they experience losses. Because maybe you're still not used to it.

So the solution I can give is like that. Because in essence you have to get used to it and use cold funds to gamble. Only then will you enjoy gambling more. And this is not a problem, friends.

Well that's the point I was making in the above statement that whoever is involved in gambling then that means they can lose, and the other possibility is that they can also win, so for the issue of emotions I think it's just something that has the possibility to increase the number of losses and does not mean that if you don't have emotions or a responsible gambler will not lose.

Yes that's right, being a responsible gambler always comes from a straight awareness and understanding of gambling, meaning that you have also said that responsible gamblers are those who have the right understanding of gambling by being able to accept the fact that risk is an inseparable part of gambling, And this is what responsible gamblers refer to or mean that the risks involved in gambling are taken into consideration for them not to overdo it, especially in terms of winning and they prefer to minimize the possibility of risk rather than focusing too much on winning, which is basically like the topic we discussed above that by overdoing it, it will make it easier for someone to get emotional when the results lose and obviously it will make the number of losses even greater. Another thing is of course what you said is always recommended which is to always view gambling as a fun place along with applying limits because of the possible risks that will continue to lurk.

That is why every gambler must have self-control to prevent their emotions from escalating and so they can gamble moderately. Wise gamblers are trained to control themselves and will not be tempted by the promotions they see because they know it can make them lose control of themselves. They will continue to use gambling as they should and will not overdo it in gambling. If they have experienced loss, they should immediately stop their gambling activities so they can calm their emotions and also reduce their tension after playing gambling for a while. This needs to be done to not give rise to the desire to recover from the defeat he experienced previously.

It is true that controlling emotions is one of the biggest tests for gamblers, especially when they put their hopes on winning but the end result is losing and that situation is really difficult to ignore, on the other hand I think it is natural because everyone has emotions in themselves that can come out at any time because of something they consider disappointing or out of their wishes, but if there is basically a fact that tells from the beginning that gambling is about winning and losing, they should be able to reflect on this to not feel emotional when the results are not what they want.

But yes it is difficult, because the object of winning in gambling is money and while everyone needs money and when their goals are not achieved and the opposite happens then obviously most of those who expect to win will not accept such a situation and end up getting emotional. One of the things that can make you less emotional or even feel normal even if you lose is to really understand that gambling is about the possibility of winning and losing, and with this it is natural that many final results are not what we want, and this is also the reason why gambling should not be used as a place of income, because most of you will only feel disappointed.

This is the kind of "self" that I want to achieve so I could enjoy gambling anytime. When emotions are high, it will likely result to a loss based on my experience, losing and winning, that's the only 2 possibilities in gambling but why are we so dumb when we are losing?

I think this kind of problem has been happening with other people too, many gamblers experience and are experiencing this, but since there are people who learn from their mistakes and more matured when they came back, then that says it's not impossible to change from being irresponsible to a responsible gambler.

When you are emotional when you lose and you a feeling neutral or calm when you are winning, that's a sign of greed.

Emotional control is indeed a serious problem for gamblers.
in my opinion only wise gamblers can control their emotions when playing. not to mention the lure of other gamblers who influence us to continue playing even though we have won or even when we lose.
I myself have been like that. If you have lost, your fellow gamblers are even encouraged by fellow gamblers to continue playing and double their bets so that they can return their previous losses.

That's a battle you will need to fight with your willpower and patience. People who have a lot of patience and self-control tend to be safe from such emotional rides because they are always calm and collected and they know what steps they need to take in every situation. Whether they are winning or losing, they know when they need to stop and when it's time for them to take a step back.

I believe every single gambler faces this situation and has this thing in them, however, a lot of gamblers manage to control their emotions and don't let them get control over them because when that happens, you lose the ability to think critically and you will make decisions that aren't good for you.

Of course, you can do the martingale strategy but that was pre-plan, however, if you just chase because you are guided by your emotion, then that is wrong as it's not anymore strategic planning.  You can win following your emotion as what you need is an smart idea to gain knowledge doing the right strategy, and it's crucial to be able to implement it during gambling, and that requires discipline, a lot of discipline which you can lean overtime as a gambler.

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.
