I don't double my bets but I do chase my losses on the same amount. I think that is normal in a gambler who likes to get his revenge.
Doubling the bet though will rekt you faster and I don't recommend that. The usual ending is losing all your money with only regrets left on you.
I know it's hard to control because I've been there many times over and over and I still do it sometimes. I say this just to warn other people and I hope they will find a way to discipline themselves and try not to be emotional with their bets. It's a difficult feat but if we can do it then we might become a better gambler who keeps the importance of what we spend.
Anyway, it's always at the losing part where our minds are clouded. Yes, that's where the struggle begins and actually I have tried different ways to end the losing streak but any games I jumped it's the same result or it will make things worse. Just keep it on a mild betting amount and see if you will feel less pain and regret if you do it. Forget whatever you lose, it's not easy to get it back. That's how online gambling is especially in casino games.

Do you know that gambling is a high risk activity? Higher than the real investment, so you need to be careful here as you are handling your finances and you don't want yourself to end up being homeless.
A real investment has no risk since it's the only way to escape from scammer who always steal your money everyday without you notice it (inflation). 
Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel?

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.

We kinda have that similar situation but it matters on how you adjust on situation since if you let yourself eaten by your emotion while gambling for sure you will end up losing again. Its important to know our goals towards gambling so that we have something to expect and if we hit it then we all settle up since we already hit our certain threshold.
Proper planning also together with good experience is really needed so that we can overcome all of this.
But also for sure once they gain a lot of experience on gambling for sure all this frustration comes from losing or other thing factor that can cause you emotional breakdown can be cover up or eliminated then it will be changed into positive approach towards how you play.

It has been proven already that being emotional in gambling and trading often leads to losing money big time.
If you are being emotional and gambling then it's common to lose money because of chasing losses.
To control this, all you have to do is stop gambling if you are losing money continuously.
You should have patience and observe your bets and if you lose 4-6 bets continuously then just stop gambling for the day and come back later.
I have experienced being emotional, when I bet $5 and then I was able to multiply it to $50 in a few sports bets then I was ambitious to place a bigger bet on the favorite team such as odds 1.40 but actually lost and this became emotional instantly, then I thought why not just withdraw the money including because of greed then this is difficult to do.
But thinking again if it is ignited in emotion then this is not spent there is even a thought of losing money so just let it go and don't care about it anymore.
Because I lost the one that had doubled bigger but lost because of greed.
That's a lesson and a challenge now, but now I'm more disciplined not to be overly emotional because for me it's natural to be emotional after losing.

It's not easy to solve since your enemy is yourself. As the experts said, you need to be in control to be able to follow your game plan. A very detailed and could be a working game plan is useless if you allow your emotion to sink in. Just like you observation, when emotion are already taking over, you'll likely make a decisions that you'll regret in the end, don't do that, because it's like making the same mistakes over and over again, instead of learning from it.
We are just humans, so it's understandable that sometimes we make mistakes, but bro, you need some discipline, without that you won't be able to manage the risk in gambling. Do you know that gambling is a high risk activity? Higher than the real investment, so you need to be careful here as you are handling your finances and you don't want yourself to end up being homeless.

To me, learning when to stop your gambling is the best thing that you can do if you're the emotional kind of gambler. That's probably the key, you can enjoy it for how long you want and with the ability to be able to stop when you want to stop then, you're probably going to get that fun feeling within you of having a sense of control over the things that you're doing and it will go towards your other things, you will become a better person overall. You also need to learn when to stop when it comes to winning, it will depend on you, if you want to stop at X times of plays before you quit or you have to win X amounts of money before you quit, the choice is entirely yours as both choice is dependent on what game you're playing, you can't really quit at X times with slots, you want to do X amounts there to satisfy your gambling craving so be smart about what you need to do and you will be fine.

Sometimes when gambling I’ve been faced with the same thoughts before - but never have I done it despite all the thoughts.
As long as it has to do with gambling raising your bet does not increase your chance of winning so it won’t be wise for me to increase my bet just because I lost the previous one, if anything I’d want to keep it that way or lower it so that my bank roll will last for a longer time.
For your case you’ll have to train yourself to stop doing that – because if you continue that way you’re sure going to turn your gambling into something entirely different. Acts like that are what makes people bet money they can’t afford to lose thinking that since they lost their last game they might just be lucky once they stake that money [that they can’t afford to lose]. Just try not to think too much when you’re losing keep on a fixed amount or lower it if possible don’t go vice versa.
You can solve the problem with discipline and determination of not going against your gambling plan. A plan of having a budget every week of about 1 to 5% of your weekly income to be for gambling which you can afford to lose. If you have lost all, stop gambling for that week.
You have known that while losing in gambling, you are more vulnerable to more losses, you also really need to be disciplined about this. When you are losing little already while gambling, just stop. It is happening to all gamblers but we discipline ourselves by stopping to gamble at that time until we have the right mind to gamble again which can be the next day or week.
