Topic: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! - page 38. (Read 5876 times)

The worst thing that can happen to a gambler is for them to become emotionally involved in their bets. This indicates that he or she does not have a goal for the total amount gained or lost on that particular day. In other words, the gambler is prepared to gamble all of their available funds for the day before surrendering.

This is the primary reason that every gambler needs to set aside the daily amount of money they are willing to risk for gambling in order to prevent getting emotional when they win or lose on a said day. 

Right. Having a budget keeps things in check. If you hit a losing streak, taking a break until you're feeling right about it again is the way to go. It's all about enjoying the game without messing up your finances.I hope OP wont get too hard on himself. It's already dofficult to acknowledge your gambling problems. I think it would be too hard for you to start gambling responsibly

OP, you have to always be in charge of the game, don't allow your emotions to control you, chasing after loses can not make you win a bet rather it will make you lose more, this act will counting allow you to go for selections that you will lose at the end of the day, I have seen people say, when I make few selection with high staking power power I tend to win than when I selection more games with little stake, for me gambling is luck with little of you being conversant with your team but the truth is that, no matter the selections you make, any stake that will loss will definitely do so, no matter how good you think you are with selections, so when deciding on what to do in gambling desist from attaching emotions.

Your problem comes from not having a fixed budget for gambling which you can afford to lose,therefore when you start losing you get too emotional because you care too much about your money and can't stand losing it.

Gambling should be a fun thing to do, a hobby. If you think about gambling as a way to increase your income, that's where all your problems come from. If you have a good period and win a lot, you'll also increase how much money you spend, creating a need to win even more money. If you start losing, your plans are ruined, you get emotional and you start to chase your losses. Now, gambling has become your main focus and you've lost control, all because you've started with the wrong preconceptions and wrong plan.

Try harder not to let it get to a stage where you'd find it difficult to quit even when winning. The behavioral changes you are feeling needs you to take a rest. Don't gamble for some time. Because when you find it hard to stop when losing it's the main problem. Not about stopping after winning. Losses come more than winning. That means you'd lose more during the process and think all is right since you can easily stop if there is eventually a win. Playing games with your emotions also affects how you think. Sentiments doesn't work in gambling. Do what you think should be done, to escape addiction or problem gambling. If taking a break from gambling could change you, then do it without delay. Resume back once you've taken over your emotions and able to control the actions you take. However, it's always difficult for one to escape alone from such a trouble. Opening up to close friends or family would be right. Goodluck with finding a solution.

If you are emotional in gambling, and these emotions are not positive or lead to losing, then have you considered that gambling is not for you? Just theoretically, gambling does not suit for everyone, and those who cant control their emotions are the weakest to fell victim of addiction or losing everything. On one hand it is good that you dont accept defeat in your life and go "till the end". On the other hand, that quality is totally unacceptable in gambling. It might sound hard, but consider stopping gambling, or find a trusted mentor that will stop you when you go to far.

You need to learn how to use your emotions for good instead of evil. For example, you’ve identified a time when you will apparently always lose. Use that to your advantage and when you feel emotional, don’t gamble. Think of this as a gift. You’ve learned when not to gamble. Used right, that’s got to increase your chances of winning.

I think we all have experienced such an event, sometimes it's really hard to fight our emotions especially when we are at the peak of winning and losing. there are times when you think too much about your game, so instead of winning, it's as if you're wishing for luck to come and in the end you'll just lose.
When that's the case, what I always do is think carefully first and try to control my mind as much as I can, because I'm also one of the impulsive type of person, I often just go ahead with the things I want to do without thinking the consequences, but now, even though it's hard to do, I always put self-control in my mind.

In this case, the solution is to allow yourself to lose sometimes. In fact, there is nothing dramatic about this. If losing is what causes you to start playing erratically, even though there is nothing fatal about a small number of losses, then you need to start allowing yourself to lose a little sometimes. Losses are part of the game, you can’t hide from them. But we need risk—management that would protect us from the consequences of these losses. I know that no one wants to lose. But, for example, no one wants to repair a car or pay for parking or pay fines. Everyone just wants to drive a car. But driving a car without paying fines does not happen.

Gambles responsible as it's written in their slogan, I want  you  to understand that you can't be emotional if you are gambling with what you can afford to lose, emotions only come in place when you place a bet with a money you can't afford to lose,   and when you are in an emotional state, you start making reckless decisions, you start doing things you wouldn't have done normally and you also start chasing your loss which I believe is the end game of any money you have with you there, so always try to gamble with what you can afford to lose, so that you wouldn't be emotional.

If you lost when you're emotional it's pretty normal. Everyone is already aware of that and it applies to any plaer.

I think that more people should read and understand my "betting advices" and maybe take a read of my history in this field
Probably most of newcomers could get an insight in this world and understand how to manage several aspects to improve winnin chances

It is difficult to stick to your stake when you gamble with emotions. As a gambler, it is difficult to leave after losing especially when you still have money to try again. Experience shows that people only leave the gambling house when they have no money left to gamble. It takes discipline to lose and still leaves even when there is still money in the pocket. There is a story of an apprentice who went to a gambling house with his boss's money with the hope of multiplying it. He was into virtual betting. He had $500 then he played a bet with $20, and he lost. Played again with $20, he lost. Instead of leaving, he started increasing his stake since he believed that it would be easy to recover from his loss by increasing his stake. He continued like that until he exhausted the money.

I am a victim of this behavior but then I have tried to control this behavior by ensuring that before I gamble I settle my bills. If I don`t settle my bills, I will end up using it to gamble. Self-control is not guaranteed for me when I am losing and my mind will become preoccupied with recovering the funds lost thereby losing all I have got. Emotional gamblers are always losers and disheartening is the fact that they only tend to remember their wins without considering that they have even lost more in their quest to recoup their losses.

Yes! And I think most of us do. It is prone to making wrong decisions when we are emotional so it is not advisable to play when you feel it. The best thing to do is to take rest or relax and get food to treat yourself allowing yourself and mind to cool down.

This happened to me once and I will never do it again since I lose even more than normal. We all know that there is really no assurance of winning when we place double from our bets.

Of course it is a problem as it might bother you during the game. It might also cause you negative consequences in the long run.

Of course just make sure you are physically and mentally fit when gambling so you will enjoy the game.

When I am over confident I make a stupid move and the result will be losing my capital fully. This always happens to me when I am playing crash. I have now stopped playing it because of my stupidity. I would always start with low bets and after a point when I am getting decent multipliers, I would suddenly place a big bet and the next thing that happens to me is that it gets crashed. It has happened to me in so many times and later on I realized that after a certain point I tend to become overconfident. This risky approach has costed me a good amount of money and for the time being I am planning to take a break from gambling.

When you are reckless you really can't enjoy gambling, so start learning how to control your emotion and everything will be easily. You don't want to stop gambling, don't you? So find a ways to stay and enjoy gambling since it's fun.

Most time I'm life, being emotional is something that everyone would see as Normal. When it comes to gambling or anything that do with investment, we should tend to be less emotional and be strong enough to bear risk and keep trying. Making losses in gambling is something that is inevitable. So as a gambler, you should expect to see loses most times and when this happens you just have to move on.
If we because of our loss get out of control, we might make wrong decisions that will lead to more losses. You shouldn't chase after you loss when it's come to gambling but try to learn from it. Every single time you make a loss, you should be aware that it was just luck that ran out of your side and don't be too emotional.

Before gambling, you should first make sure that you really understand all the meaning of gambling itself. If you are ready to win then you must be ready to lose. Likewise, when you are ready to win money, you must also be prepared to lose money. That is how we understand it properly. The thing about gambling is that there are all risks involved, that's why the average person who doesn't accept defeat means he doesn't understand the gambling he is playing. even though in gambling it's not just about winning.

That's why it's always important to limit your budget before gambling so that when the budget runs out it's best to stop gambling and then switch to other hobbies or other activities that are more positive, gambling if you don't limit your budget properly then whenever we will continue to gamble and chase to recover previous losses until playing gambling beyond limits, many people are addicted to gambling and it is difficult to cure it because the initial symptom is that they cannot accept the losses they experience. That's why I always focus on limiting my gambling budget according to the income I get, at least less than 5% and that must be ready to be lost, not money that should be used for living needs. learn to control yourself and not need to be emotional in order to enjoy the game well. 

Of course, not only you but also most gamblers will definitely feel the same challenges in the face of risks that occur.
Losing sometimes makes gamblers experience anxiety and adrenaline which is much more challenging because they are on the verge of losing.
We must be able to prepare ourselves for every risk and also the results that will occur.

My only advice is to use money that you can really afford to lose, don't think about using savings or money that you use to meet your living needs because that will put pressure on you when you are on the verge of losing.
And of course, when loss occurs, you have to be really patient and immediately leave the gambling site and never think about trying to recover from the loss.
No gambler will be able to truly win challenge like this and of course it will be difficult to realize the hopes that have involved many risks.

For some people, been emotional makes them so powerless and there is nothing they can do about it, for such people I advice them to either get discipline or quit gambling, I believe the reason why I am always in control of myself when gambling is because I don't have any emotional feelings in gambling, many people are embracing gambling but for me I am scared of the disadvantages of gambling.

The chances that gambling can break you is higher than the chances that gambling can make you, understanding gambling is understanding it's risks too, this will make you erase any desires and emotions towards gambling, if you don't expect any financial breakthrough when gambling you will become disciplined and risk the true amount you can afford to lose.

So many people are far from reality that's why they can't be disciplined when gambling, they want the impossible dreams from the impossible channels even when the chances are too slim.

The problem of losing control leads to wrong actions, and that is like a natural reflex. Putting the problem from this perspective, why lose control? Because of the loss, why continue to lose money? Because you're stupid, unlucky,... but definitely because of you. And the story will be associated with gambling, we think that we can freely play it because of the attractive things around it, but only the wrong action will make us pay the price.

I'm not the type of person to stress about winning/losing, because it's all about experience that we need to be exposed to and then it's a choice. You want to win, you don't want to lose, there is no fixed formula because it's pure randomness. So learn to accept the results and be aware of the need to adapt to it from the beginning. One thing that I quite notice is that gambling is only really stressful when you are no longer in control, or rather it is signs of addiction, and such manifestations should be avoided with similar games not just gambling, as the loss of control occurs through other things.
