Topic: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! - page 35. (Read 5886 times)

To me, if you are overly emotional, it means you have no strategy. Or your strategy is inadequate for the game you are in. Or your strategy as a whole is adequate and profitable, but even the most profitable strategy has a long streak of failures. Unfortunately, a long losing streak is just part of the game. I wouldn't dwell on it. But nevertheless, we all understand that a long streak of failures can unsettle anyone. It forces us to take a break from the game and think a little about our actions. We are doing something wrong and we need to figure it out.

It's normal, if you get emotional then you lose. Being overly emotional never brings anything positive but always has a negative impact on our lives. If an investor and trader invests or trades emotionally, there is a 90% chance of losing in that investment or trade. In the case of a gambler in the same way, if he bets without controlling himself by being emotional, then there will be 100% chance of losing. Emotions should never be prioritized in life. Emotions lead a person's life to such a state of degradation that he himself does not realize it.

The reality is that you can challenge a bet to win and that is fun and acceptable at either you wins or you looses but with the emotional effects of thriving to bypass and recover your losts would definitely cause you an unbalanced emotional tussles which your desperate goals to win could not afford you the fitness of technical analogies to dispense the strategies reliable predictions.
Meanwhile.... I don't believe in doubling my stakes or in any expeditious to satisfy my emotional breakdowns because the more I persists is the tendencies that I could loose due to my uncontrollable emotions to attend to critical factors.

If someone aims to make a profit and continues to experience losses then they will experience uncontrollable emotions because the expenditure they have prepared for betting capital runs out and they don't get any profit at all, causing them to become emotional and unable to control themselves and try to increase their bets to recover losses, but when someone doesn't really hope to make a profit, they just enjoy gambling and still accept it if they lose, so this doesn't become a problem and doesn't cause them emotions. This means they can control their thoughts to stop and not try to chase losses.

If you experience problems like that don't consider gambling as a challenge and you feel challenged to increase your bets and recover your losses because if you are not in control then you can experience bigger losses. It is better to stop and come back tomorrow when you are no longer emotional, it could be that your losses from yesterday can come back again because gambling when emotional is not recommended.

Your eagerness makes you loss mate , because you are not paying attention to the situation but you keep chasing losses and that made you and your emotion vulnerable in losing , I don't know what made you keep doing that when you already admit it that there are problem when you lose so best to learn yourself first before gambling again.

My solution to holding off those emotions while being in a losing situation is to lower my gambling budget and learn when to stop for the day.

If you've been through the same problem several times already, you have to understand that reacting to your losses would only cause more damage to your bankroll if you continue. It might take a while before you can adapt to a small bankroll, but it's worth going through if you'll be less attached to all of your losses.

It is a problem that whenever you loss and you get emotional, you feel that you should double your bets. IMHO, that's a dangerous approach when you gamble and you seem to martingale but that's due to your emotional approach and I understand on how you do that. What you need to do is to just set yourself on how much you're going to gamble so that you won't be placing that much when you're emotional and do use somethings that will make you remind to stay calm and focus on your budget as you bet. Don't let your emotion ruin your day.

I am not a part of gamblers who can't control the funds in gambling. I also have quite good control on my emotion now. I ever experienced it when I am new in gambling, but now I'm trying to always control my emotion when I realized it will bring many negative impacts. It won't be easy to control emotion, it takes time to exercise it. Even, sometimes we must experience bad thing in you life to make use aware. However, we can learn it from other experience, there are many sad stories because of losing control of emotion in gambling.

The answer of your problem is to stick with your commitment and be discipline. When you already allocated a certain amount of money for the gambling games a day or a week, always consider it before you double your bets. And noted in our mind that deciding to double it, will never  automatically increase the chance to win. So, be calm and control emotion! Leave gambling temporarily if you fail to calm your mind.

Emotion is a very a big challenging thing that both gamblers and traders face, especially anything that has to do with staking of money, Emotion will definitely be present, and that is why most people tend to do what they are not supposed to do and thus lose money, things like cashing out too early, chasing loses and increasing their stakes and going above their limits and to try to gain back those losses. We should learn how to deal with it by taking a disciplinary measures that will help us. Like sticking to gambling plans and never exceed your risk limits.

The good point is that you are truly aware of the situation and problems you are facing. Self-awareness of a problem that is being experienced is the first step towards better change. because many of those who are addicted to gambling are completely unaware of the bad behavior they have been doing, even worse, they always deny it and look for various reasons when given advice and input by other people.

In my experience, you should remain calm when gambling and be able to enjoy each betting session. Most fundamentally, it is important for us to think that gambling is just entertainment, not a way to make a profit and multiply wealth, and this kind of thinking can help us reduce stress and can make the gambling experience better. Next, set a deposit limit according to your readiness to lose the money, and don't forget to apply a time limit so that your life balance can be maintained properly. Apart from that, it is important for you to understand the rules of the game and learn strategies that can increase your chances, because knowledge can increase your sense of self-confidence when gambling. However, when you experience a loss which can sometimes make you stressed and emotional, then avoid impulsive decisions to try to recover the loss, and to avoid this decision, take a break from gambling activities. And if necessary and you find it quite difficult to control yourself and your emotions when playing gambling and placing a bet, then consult someone who is an expert in that field.

I don't become emotional when I gamble or invest. I have this habit of getting bitter when things go wrong, feeling the need to do something about it, but I calculate everything in my mind and end up not acting on my emotions.

I'll give you an example. When I invest, the price goes down, I feel like I should sell and protect it, but then I rethink it, get bitter, think to myself -fuck them, and don't sell because that's how I am. Stubborn.
It's the same with gambling. I win some money, I feel like I'm in a streak and could continue, but then I realize that I'm fine and take a small win home or stop at a small loss. I don't try to test my luck more when I win and I don't attempt to win back what I lost if I lose money.

No, I don't let emotions get too high when I'm gambling. Of course I'm not a machine and I feel really tempted into giving up to my emotions, but I always try to be rational on my decision of stopping when I have to stop, without further debates with myself. Once I set a limit which I can't cross, I won't cross that, doesn't matter how I desire to keep gambling to chase losses and finish my session on green.

That is normal, as like every of us, you want to finish your gambling play with profit on your pockets. When we are winning it's easier to stop, since we aren't greedy gamblers, because we wish to spend the earned money someway else, especially if you already had something in mind to purchase, but were lacking the money to do so. However, it's hard to accept a loss, so when we hit a long loss streak, automatically our mind tells us to continue playing, as the easiest solution for the problem... You just have to be stronger than that and give up on the idea of keep playing when you are losing.

What I keep in mind when I'm losing is that by continuing playing, I'm going to lose even more money, without thinking on the positive possible outcomes. That is: I'm heavily pessimistic, and in this case it's quite good, because it prevents me from putting myself in dangerous situations.

Someone who is already addicted usually they always spin on the cycle of "greedy when winning and getting curious when losing" but it seems that what OP is experiencing is that he is too curious when he loses which makes the number of losses even greater but on the other hand he has no problem cashing out when he is in a winning situation, this is quite worrying because in gambling the percentage of wins is much lower than losses, and that means that if you cannot limit the time for gambling activities that you do then the possibility of losing will be even greater because of your inability to accept reality at the end of the session.

One of the things that can be a solution is as we know that "responsibility" is an important thing that every gambler must have, with this means that you understand and are able to accept the risks and consequences that exist in gambling, especially when at the end of the session, responsibility is very important in gambling because with this, your mind will be more directed towards prevention and prioritize yourself not to overdo it, if you can apply it then that means you will only dare to put an amount that will not make you disappointed if in the end you lose, this will be able to make you feel calmer or less disappointed even though you lose.

JUST ENJOY THE GAME~

Losing is never been an enjoying stuff on which this is something very normal because no one really likes on losing money but if you arent after on making one then emotions wont really be that as severe comparing into that individual whose really that coming after on making money with gambling on which you would really be that definitely be having those different approach comparing into those individuals who do really come after for
making money and not for entertainment. It would really be just that normal that we would really be having those emotions since we are just humans. We are naturally greedy and it would really be that impossible
that you wont really be having those kind of aims on the time that you do gamble.

There are really just those people who cant really be able to stop their emotions and this is why they do really end up on disaster because they arent been
able to decide on how they would really gonna handle the situation.

Never bet with your heart, only your head.  This is a saying I've come to learn and was taught when I started playing fantasy football many years ago.  I use to bet emotionally on my own teams/draft my own favorite teams players (chicago bears, Cubs, Bulls etc).  This ended up just getting me in hot water and I quickly learned to leave emotions out of it.  If you're emotional, don't bet!

Not inner voice but discipline I guess. An inner voice could be pushing you to bet more because rewards would be high in such instance. Emotions are indeed hard to control but it won't literally cost you a dime if you will choose to avoid playing whenever you are being emotional. I even cannot think of something wherein being emotional will result to a better outcome aside from expressing oneself but since gambling is a risky activity then obviously it won't be of any good trying to be in such state while betting and relying to your luck and feelings.
Easy to say but hard to apply to ourselves and that is maybe because your mindset does not support your emotional, physical, and financial capacity as a gambler. For sure we all do know what to do and what not, however people are still falling for the tendency of becoming rich quickly. Fixing one's mindset is a huge step towards true gambling efficiency. Whenever you are either sad or mad, there's even that possibility that you will be able to say harsh things outside your own will. Emotions are  not something you could avoid quickly since it is a part of our own complex as an individual.

Assess yourself; if you have a $1k and you could easily expect that the amount will be gone in a short period of time however it shouldn't be something to consider with.

I think every gambler has had an experience like that. When we lose, we usually increase the bet in the hope that if we win we will get our money back or even make a profit, but when the win doesn't come, the balance will run out quickly and often when emotions are bad, we will chase losses and it will definitely get worse.

I think we need to use common sense and gamble only when our minds are okay. If our minds start to get confused because of losing, it's better to stop and leave the house, maybe go for a walk or do something you like. If I usually eat chocolate, chocolate is good for my mind because it makes me feel relaxed. You may need to try it

I personally haven't had this kind of thing, in sports betting when I analyze games I do it at the time when I'm not thinking about problems, this is because I'm aware that I'm putting my money on that bet and for that reason I need to have focus to If I do my analysis well and get my bet right, getting money is not an easy task and that's why we shouldn't waste money. Now when it comes to gambling games that depend on luck, I'm talking about slots games, the person can play even when they are very sad because it won't make any big difference, in those games the person doesn't need to analyze anything. the person does not need to create strategies. all the person does is just enter the amount of money they want to play and click the start button

and then let the game work, that's all one does. So the person's emotional state does not affect the outcome of the game at all. but there are games in which the person needs to be more concentrated and very well in terms of emotions. Card games are games of skill, they are games in which the person needs to be very concentrated to be able to win, which is why if the person knows that they will not be concentrated then they should not play, that is very simple. at least in my opinion, because it doesn't make any sense that a person who knows that they are not well emotionally due to some problem in their life and still, instead of staying at home,

recovering from the problem they have, this person goes to a casino thinking that when they play they will forget about the problem they have and end up losing all the money, this is not a good move. Gambling is not the kind of thing people can play to forget about their problems. Unlike other forms of entertainment, in gambling money is involved and because of this people tend to leave the casino more angry than happy, which is why in my opinion people who are in trouble should not gamble. should stay at home doing other things to overcome problems

It is very important that we gamblers constantly take time to observe ourself how the outcome and results of our games are mostly are based on the current condition we are while gambling. Checking if we are most favoured or make losses whenever we are under such condition, by doing  it this way a lot of unnecessary losses we make in gambling will be drastically reduced and our money well managed to our benefit.

It is common that when we feel stressed, weak, uneasy and sick our level of productivity reduces which have the tendency to affect our results in anything we engage in at that very moment and it is nothing different with gambling because it's an activity that requires us to think and brainstorm in order to increase winning chances.

What you should do is to have a gamble budget for the week, so that when you have exhausted that amount, you wait till you have assigned a new budget for gambling. You should also have a time limit that you use in your gambling activities, so that once the time is up, you stop gambling. You said it that you know how to quit when you are winning alone, but this will help you limit your loss

From what I sense, is like you are gambling for profit and this is why you find it difficult to quit when you are losing because you are chasing your losses due to your emotions. See gambling as a means of entertainment and not for profit. Only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose, and not funds meant for important things.
