Topic: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! - page 36. (Read 5876 times)

Yes, it's true, your mind is clouded by revenge and you just want your money back which is why you will keep on depositing thinking your luck may come anytime and it will give everything back to you.
But that's not the case for both online casinos and physical casinos. The house edge is real so it would be better to just forget about your losses and call it a day. I know it's difficult to control it because I have been there too. Not just once but so many times in my betting spree.
I like playing it in small amounts but when I am losing more, I hate to admit to myself that I am a loser. It's more like a battle of pride and ego where you want to call yourself a winner at the end of the day than being a loser because it won't let you sleep easily.
But, we cannot just tell anyone to control their emotion, it's part of the gambling habit and we cannot just take it out of our system. It's our money, especially the hard-earned ones and we will always want it back whenever the gambling sites keep on taking it from us. Whoever says they can control it is either a hypocrite or not playing too many casino games. Chasing losses is a part of gambling and we will keep on doing it even if we remind ourselves to not take that rough path.

But before you chase that tail all night, let's talk strategy, because conquering this beast takes cunning, not just blind luck.

First things first, budget time. Think of it like your gambling allowance, a measly percentage of your weekly loot that you CAN afford to lose. Like, pizza money small, not rent-money big. Once it's gone, poof, the dragon wins. No whining, no chasing losses, just walk away like a champion who knows when to fold 'em.

Speaking of losses, yeah, they happen. It's like gravity for gamblers, impossible to escape. But here's the trick: the more you're down, the more the dragon whispers sweet lies about "one more spin" being the magic ticket. Don't listen to that scaly fiend! Recognize your vulnerability, say "nope" to the next bet, and retreat like a tactical ninja. Sometimes, walking away is the biggest win.

Same happened to me today. I like Le Havre this season, and my XFUN parlay reflected that. Managed to hit 3 draw games of the day in ligue 1, and had I followed the logic I established, Le Havre game would have been a hit as well

The gambler who had lose the money should get motivated in the positive way,because the people luck may change at anytime.It was most important for the gamblers to get into the gambling at the time of luck.The gamblers who don’t have the money at the time of luck,they can do the right thing by taking the loan for the gambling.The important difference between the loan at random time and loan at the moment of gambling had huge difference.Because the gamblers can able to get the money back by doing the gambling.The gamblers should take the lone based on their income and don’t get more money loan beyond their ability.

We're adults and know when we make mistakes, some are escapeable and some are not. We make severe losses, probably the ones that affects our pocket and our bank accounts, but there's nothing to worry about between always bounce back to our stands. It takes only a pro gambler to become profitable and he knows his limits, he doesn't gamble more than his budgeted funds in a day. Remember every day comes with new opportunities, we ought to grab good chances of milking the system, anything other than that is out of the picture.

I know how you feel. I have been here before, but I did not allow it to happen to me twice after the kind of loss I experienced that day in gambling.
 
One of the worst pains of it all was that I went into the casino with a very little amount—less than a dollar in my local currency—but while I was playing, I doubled the money up to $50–$70. I can't recall the exact amount as it was in my local currency, and rates have changed since then. To cut the whole story short, I lost all this money back to the casino the same day, and out of anger, I decided to deposit again and continue my betting, which all also went in.
 
One thing about emotional gambling is that you can't think straight as you are mainly focused on how you can be able to get back the money you have put in and not even the profit you have made the first time. Since I have had this one-time experience, I don't always go after my losses. I exhaust what I have in my gambling account. I log out and call it a day.

There is always the determination to chase losses because you might have the feeling that staking more might make you win. I have been in this situation severally and most time I didn't recover my losses. From my experience, I have realized that it is not always attainable to recover losses because the house always has the biggest edge. So I have learned to follow a gambling budget or plan and not be distracted by the outcome of my games. Immediately I reach my gambling benchmark for the day or period I will quietly sign out or leave the physical casino. I believe that one lucky day can make me recover all I have lost so I don't need to chase losses.

You forgot to write what happens to you when you keep your emotions under control. Maybe you win more often in this case? If not, maybe it’s not a matter of emotions? 
As for the solution to this problem, in my opinion it is simple: do not engage in gambling. For example, I am an emotional person (not in gambling), so in order to avoid problems associated with this, I simply avoid situations where my emotions can let me down. Quite boring advice but it works.

When you're gambling, controlling your emotions is essential. You can win small amounts of money all day long and then place a bet, turning on your emotions, and lose everything. It is very good to bet in a meditative state, listening to your inner voice

You are right, Gozie51, he lacks some control while losing, due to the doubt in him of what could be next. The player gets eager to see what's next till he gets emotionally depressed. Understanding that it's normal to lose in gambling, is a competent reminder for minimizing the wagering amount. But only few gamblers would go through such route as chasing loss without complaining. It's not a simple gambling journey, although minimized expenses would help the gambler not to regret his actions, players still wager high amount hoping for a next big win. Not only that it gets depressing to consistently lose money without profit, but that's also not what anybody want. Humans don't like what they don't want, when something they don't want keeps occurring to them, the person will most likely get sad and worried. Gambling by offering winning chances, made it hard for the person to stop receiving what he doesn't want, losses.

This is the spirit of not believing in losing because when you lose, you will be angry and keep playing to recover what you have lost but if you don't have that kind of mentality then if you lose you will not struggle but accept defeat.

Another thing about that is if you are losing, you are mostly likely to lose your concentration on your strategy because you will be doubting your strategy and keep changing strategy. Losing and chasing it back distort your plans so that is the reason for struggling but to have that spirit of understanding that you win and you lose is going to take you away from such predicament.

I once liked that and it cost me a lot of money I was depressed for a week thinking about what had gone wrong, I knew that it was pride that I kept chasing my losses thinking that it was still possible to recover, but in gambling, if you keep trying to win, winnings becomes illusive, I have solved it by taking a vacation from gambling and doing a job where I cannot go online for a long period and that time I realized that if I am going to go back to gamble I have to control my urge or I will commit the same mistakes over and over again.

We are all different in our approach, my approach to how to be a better gambler could be different from yours, you need to take what approach will work for you, my approach is by taking a job that will limit my time from gambling, I came to realize the mistakes I made when I was gambling, so when I came back from gambling I become a better gambler.

Everyone's issue when they are new to playing casino games. Every time I'm in a hurry to win, I fight myself not to deposit again already but during my first days, I can't help it.

As a first-time user who learned from an article that it's easy to make money from online casinos, I tend to regularly do it and sometimes I win but after some time, I realized it I'm losing more when I'm in a hurry to decide.

This is easier said than done. For compulsive gamblers do you think it is easy to control emotions? Gambling apart, is the control of emotion so easy? How do you feel about getting heartbreak or losing a very close friend? Losing in gambling can generate similar or the same feeling if you are addicted. We can say that gamblers should control their feeling but how can it be made manifest? Is it even easy for a gambler who lost funds meant for payment of bills to control his emotions and pretend that nothing happened? Only a person who gambles with what he can afford to lose can control emotions or a person who gambles for entertainment. Any other category of gamblers will find it so difficult to control emotions.

Gambling with emotions is so bad. You will gamble with all your funds before gaining consciousness. It is clear to the gambler that he is gambling out of anger and frustration but cannot stop since he is on a journey to recoup his losses. This I call a journey without a roadmap, you will fall back to nothing. All gamblers know that some days can be bad for gambling and it is better to avoid those days than try to control emotions when you are already losing heavily. It is better to prevent such a scenario. Emotional gambling can push you into losing all your money and then begging for food. Thus, a gambler should be moderate with his stake because that can aid emotional control.

Lots of people experienced this, even myself at first when I was just new to gambling, and this kind of behavior is difficult to manage, mostly controlling it unless you have really a will to stop it by learning it in your own way. Like myself, I keep chasing my losses when I first gamble, but when I taste the first of my big losses because of chasing them, that is the time I realized that it is not good, so I changed my perspective and I just gamble based on my budget.

The best solution to overcome your emotions is to play relaxed and not expect big wins, make a deposit that you can afford to lose, if you really do this you will be more relaxed when playing and enjoy the game, be grateful for the wins you get. also brings the thought of getting free money why not enjoy it

Two things, you will soon mature or you have to stop gambling because it causes you emotional issues, gambling should be fun and sometimes profitable if you can relax and just follow the flow of what you're doing it is human to be emotional but you cannot go on like this hurting yourself emotionally every time you gamble.
For a gambler to evolve in the right way it should be fun, no emotional distress and your life is not revolving around gambling.
All gamblers go to this phase when they are starting or they have not control their emotions and urges yet, so accept the feeling and learn to move on and evolve you can do that if you want to mature in gambling.
In gambling, you either mature or you will end up a miserable gambler.

I believe the problem lies in this case because there is an inability from you to detach yourself from the money you have deposited in the casino. Internally you have not assumed that money to be lost from the moment you get it into your gambling account, in an unconcious way you believe you will be able to multiply the value of your deposit.
When you manage to be in green numbers with your initial deposit you feel nothing, because you are getting your own expectation with the wager. However, as soon as you start to get losses, you panic and get emotional other those losses and start to chase them.

My recommendation would be for you to try to find where your true limit when comes to wager truly lies on. You need to wager less and lose money slowly so you will not when you start to feel uncomfortable. Mot of people would be okey with losing 1$ to the casino, others would be okey with losing 20$ before logging out and put an end to their session for that day. Once you find where your limit is, then you need to train yourself into logging out the casino as soon as your reach that limit of losses, eventually you will have enough discipline to increase your loss tolerance and not chase after them anymore.

Good luck.

Self-control over yourself is still lacking because you are able to get carried away emotionally when you lose, so what if you experience a big win, are you able to stop yourself from continuing to play the game, because generally forcing the situation in gambling will cause gambling suffering, I experienced the same problem about you getting emotional when you lose and doubling your bet, the best solution that I do is, I will make a max bet and when I lose or win I will immediately stop and leave it and open it in the next few days

It's only normal to experience higher losses when playing under stress.
Certain games have some sort of strategy, not that it'll make a difference, but the chances the player has can actually be made a little worse when bad decisions are made.
For instance when playing blackjack, players might order the dealer to hit even above 19 when they are stressed,  let's say by mistake or out of midlessness... But this has a very low chance to prove a good decision on any ocasion. So for a very high risk, the player gets a minuscule reward.

Similarly when stressed maybe players will come under several illusions such as that they will make back their losses. Anyone with a healthy thought process should not be thinking like that. Approaching gambling should be done with a level headed mindset. Doing it for fun, to pass some time. For cheap momentary thrills. Not much more. Because otherwise you take disproportionate risks which make it impossible to actually have fun and instead puts the player in an even worse spot than before.

So all in all, be thoughtful when gambling. If you notice stress during this activity have a break better instead of continuing.
