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.
With all the comments here so far, I want to believe that  you must have gotten the answer that you seek, but just to add, I do perfectly understand what you mean, for I myself do have same feeling when ever I am playing either slot games or casino in-house games..

One casinos where this type of thing have happened to me on several occasions is on l0tt0.com, since I love most of the games they have, as they are unique games ive not seen or played on any other casino before, I tend to head over there when ever I am not doing sports betting but just wanna play an in-house games and have fun with possibilities of winning more money.
So, each time I am playing on this casino and I am losing, I find it very had to leave the game, I just keep playing and playing, and even when I eventually win but the money is not big enough to cover for all the amounts I've lost, after a short break of like 5 minutes at maximum, I see myself continue to play again, and most times, I never seem to be able to bring myself to stop until my bankroll goes empty.

This did happened to me on several occasions I can't count, but after sometime, I began to take notice and started paying very close attention to myself, so that when I play to a certain stage and I get tired, and know I should stop, i just force myself to stop by putting something else on my mind and immediately standing up to go and do that thing, this has helped me on several occasions, it has helped me to stop playing when ever I want to stop.

I think you are not alone, I have experienced something similar. When I won the bet, I looked very relaxed while playing. However, after losing, I immediately doubled my bet and so on.
in rounds 3 to 4 maybe our money can be returned with a win. However, after experiencing multiple losses up to more than 10 rounds, that's when all my money ran out. This really happens and happens very often. Finally I decided to just increase the bet to 3 rounds. After that, return to initial mode again or take a break from the game after experiencing a losing streak for 3 rounds.

actually not emotions cause losing gambling. but losing gambling is what causes emotions and doing marti angles or all in the funds you have. that's what causes losing all the capital you have.

Yes, I understand that and there is no difference, you said that the possibility of losing in gambling is what makes gamblers emotional, but on the contrary it means that gamblers who come without emotions and have responsibility for whatever happens will not lose? No, in fact, whether you are emotional or not, you can still lose, and maybe the difference between emotions can make your losses bigger, this idea seems the same, even though if we examine it there are differences. causing you to lose once or lose several times due to uncontrolled actions.

So the point is that defeat will still be tied to all gamblers no matter how responsible you are, especially if you are someone who cannot control emotions, which is clear that this will make you experience more successive defeats due to decisions made without consideration, and the difference between those who are responsible and those who always apply emotions is in terms of the number of defeats, in conclusion, emotions can make your number of defeats even greater.

Gambling is an emotional thing, but for the sake ones health and well being it is advisable for us as humans to control our emotions when gambling, this why it is not a good move for a gambler to select the club he is fanning as one of his picks because in this case, emotions must be attached and again sometime when you bet on a team avoid watching such game because of the tension that you may encounter while watching the match, but let's not shy away from the truth, it is almost unavoidable to attach emotion in gambling because a stake is involved, you are also thinking about the money used and the effect if you eventually lose at the end of the day, but to avoid all this drama just gamble with what you can afford to lose.

The situation is worse when we are emotional about losing when gambling. Likewise with the opposite situation, when we win and feel we are down on luck and forget to leave the game.
I experienced this when the work situation was difficult. The pressure to win comes and losing makes me continue to increase my deposit and continue playing to catch up on my losses. I still play normally, don't increase the bet but just keep making deposits and hope to catch a win.
Yes, that happened about a year ago. and what makes me rise in emotional control is my self-awareness of our gambling game. it will come when you realize that limiting the game is important. limiting capital is important. and you must have something more important to do immediately besides gambling.

That's chasing your losses, the more you lose the more your urge to recover it will increase. That's why it's better when you start gambling you don't bring a lot of money or avoid getting access to device that you can be use to withdraw money for casino deposits. Sometimes we can't really prevent this from happen as we are humans, when we are challenge we tend to take it personally. We are up against a machine or a gambling site that has its algorithm in favor of them, so if we think we can beat them, then that's a big mistake and we will just likely lose. Just imagine, every roll or spin, the advantage is on them, and even if they have a small edge but it's still an edge, only time will tell but in the long run we will lose.

This is why gambling business is really that profitable due to this kind of behavior of gamblers on which they cant really be able to stop on the time that they are winning but rather they would really be continuing on the things that they are really that believing which is on winning the next bet. There are ones who are able to control themselves and there are ones who do fail. This is why
results and outcomes would really be that different to each other and this is something that you wont really be able to stop with those people who are really that aiming for winning.
If you dont be able to control your emotions then gambling would really be able to wreck up your life in terms of finances on which you would really be that definitely be having that kind of
huge problem when it comes to this matter on which this is something that you would really be needing to control on.

No I am not affected emotionally by my gambling anymore in any severe form. This only happened a bit when I first started with gambling, but I had to learn quickly that emotions don't have any space in gambling. Of course I feel bad after a big loss, or I am happy after winning some money, but I try to not to let it affect my decision making in any form. We might not be able to control what we feeling, but we can control if we want to act on these feeling or if we try to change our mindset, clear our head and feel differently afterwards. Doubling your bets after a loss is quite normal if you follow a martingale approach, it's a nice stratey that I use from time to time when playing roulette. Everything is fixed in the martingale strategy, so I am not reacting to my feelings or emotions, I just follow a strategy. For me the best way to look at gambling is in the same way as trading or how I handle money in general. When you go shopping, you don't buy everything you see and like, or when you watch advertisings then you also don't order everything that makes you feel good. Here we know very well that we can't trust our feeling and shouldn't be affected by our initial emotions. In gambling it's no different, we should think and act with our head and don't give into sudden urges coming from our emotions.
Your disciplined martingale method in roulette is amazing. The emotional rollercoaster is replaced by a steady, predictable framework. Strategic thinking is stressed by comparing gambling to trading or budgeting. My belief is that we should make judgments with clarity and foresight, regardless of the situation.

This amount of consideration in gambling elevates the experience and reduces danger. With a conscious approach, gambling may be fun and improve decision-making. On the field of chance, our greatest asset is our capacity to think critically and control our emotions. Your view teaches us that with the correct mindset, we can handle even the most unanticipated events with grace and wisdom, not just in gambling but in life.

That emotional comes from your mind, you probably keep thinking that you can still win if you try again, and those casino machines will just keep getting the best of you, there are times when you need to stop gambling.

Gamblers want some jackpot and winning streaks, but the machine will deny you at times and you will keep losing money over and over, imagine you just keep throwing all you have at it, you will go home broke with nothing left in your bank account, this is why quitting is good.

Use a certain amount and when that threshold is gone you must close your laptop or walk out of the casino, there is advantage coming back another day, remember, those machines or online casino games have their own ways too, it's all mathematical calculation that's very hard for 99% people to understand.

Often gamblers gamble more than they can afford because they are too emotional when playing. Because gamblers' unstable emotions often make gamblers unable to control themselves to be able to play and make rational decisions, and this will lead to excessive, high-risk and greedy gambling. If gamblers cannot control their emotions, over time this will become a problem which can affect their mental health and financial.
It is rational that in gambling anyone has experienced where they become emotional taking high risks for the sake of greed where they want to restore previous losses.
We realize that it's all within the scope of gambling but back to the individual how they do about responsibility if they can control then they can be safe from high risk the same thing where you can manage the bankroll that has been determined.

Not only in gambling but in all things when you are controlled by emotions the results usually won't go well because they end up ignoring many things.
When you are emotional and continue to gamble and even increase the bet, you actually know that the results will be worse because you are not doing it with a clear mind. We may not be able to recover losses by doubling the bet amount even though there is a chance of getting bigger but the losses suffered will also be bigger, all gamblers certainly feel this and if we can recover losses it is usually just a coincidence, not something that will always happen that way.
If we are too overcome by emotions, usually there is nothing we can do, but losses will be within our limits if we gamble using money that we can afford to lose, so that is the key to avoiding bigger losses due to being overcome by emotions.

As gambler, it's good and better you learn how to control emotions, whether you are winning or losing. Without controlling your emotions it can lead to gambling addiction, Because emotions can have a big impact on our gambling experience. When we are emotional in gambling it can be tough to make rational decisions and control our bets it is important to recognise this as a problem because it can lead to chasing losses and potentially more losses .

One approach that can help is setting limits for yourself both in terms of time and money, know when to stop whether winning or losing because there are more days and time to gamble again. Another way that can help control your emotions is talk to a friend when you're winning or losing they can encourage you with positive advice that moment.

You need to understand that loosing is also part of gambling, knowing that you will definitely lose at some point while gambling is a first step to helping you get better because having this at the back of your mind prepares you for anything ahead but when you think it will be always winning then you will definitely have problems accepting losses which will definitely keep you emotional, when you have that consciousness that there's always a probability of loss they you will know how well to handle it when it comes. When you have the mindset to accept losses when it comes and wins aswell when it comes, that way you reduce how emotional you get about gambling and don't forget to always stake that which you can afford to loose so so don't have much challenges with losses.

If you are gambling responsibly which includes been discipline and staking only that which you can afford to lose at a time then you help keep your emotions under much control than you would have if you are not doing any of the above, most times the agitations arises from the amount you have put at risk already.

When gambling or betting, sometimes if we experience defeat too often it can make us feel annoyed and emotional, which if we cannot control these emotions well then this impulse will push us to impulsive behavior which can endanger ourselves, and can cause losses. quite large financially.

To anticipate this, we should only gamble with the amount of money we are ready to lose, and don't forget to always apply maximum deposit limits and winning targets in the gambling we do. We need to do this to reduce feelings of disappointment with the final result we get, especially if the final result is defeat.

And when you continuously lose, it would be better if you immediately withdraw from gambling and take a break to stabilize your emotions and regain full control over yourself in gambling. Because to prevent impulsive behavior that could make us make wrong decisions, gambling must be done calmly and in full control.

When I was just starting with gambling, I found it difficult to control my feelings. It made me deposit some money to continue betting. But that is not a good solution because the amount of money is just lost again. Yes, it was a problem, so I started learning to control my feelings. I know it will affect my gambling activities if I can't control it.

I started to apply limits when gambling and tried to stop when I experienced a losing streak. Whatever the amount of loss, that is what I can afford and I have no intention of depositing any more money. However, we have to know our limits when playing gambling so that we don't lose a lot of money.

You don't need to think it is a challenge because gambling is entertaining. When you lose, you should try to stop gambling. Don't think about depositing any more money because it doesn't guarantee you can win. There is still tomorrow to gamble so save your energy for that tomorrow.

I'm glad you were able to learn how to be stable with your decision in the end. Actually, it's hard at the very beginning but you'll eventually learn if you are willing to accept your mistakes. It mostly starts with betting an amount that is big enough compared to your budget, this is isn't bankroll but per bet.

Take it for example. if you are a gambler and you bet $10 ( feel okay) and bet $100 (feel nervous). We should choose $10 as you are comfortable in accepting the outcome of your bet, even if it losses.

Emotional gambling causes bad decisions and financial losses, so it must be addressed. Many players struggle to resist chasing losses or raising stakes when angry or upset. Recognizing this pattern is the first step towards addressing the problem. Limiting your betting or taking breaks while you're upset can assist you control your impulsivity. Friends, relatives, and professionals who understand gambling addiction can also help. Self-awareness, discipline, and support structures are needed to overcome poor habits and bet responsibly to quit emotional gambling.
