Indeed, there are other reasons why someone can get emotional when they gamble. For example, the idea of making a big win triggers our reward system in our brains, which releases dopamine. As a result, we may experience an emotional roller coaster due to the increased excitement and anticipation. There is uncertainty since the results of gambling tend to be unpredictable. Our way of thinking, particularly the release of emotions such as excitement, fear, and anticipation, is our brain's response to uncertainty, in the way that I see it. It is difficult for us to conquer and properly control these kinds of emotions, in my opinion.
It makes sense that, as gamblers, our fear of losing money won't go away, especially if we wager more, doesn't it? As if the fear of failing outweighed the happiness of succeeding. I mean, when we lose money, the emotional toll it takes can be severe, leaving us feeling disappointed, frustrated, and even desperate. This emotional reaction might even take place over reason when making decisions.
Usually, someone becomes emotional because they have lost a certain amount of money without being able to win anything, so they will be annoyed and still want to try again. But in the next attempt, they still couldn't win and this made their emotions increase even more. Finally, they lost control of themselves in gambling and this resulted in them also losing their money. That is why we must be able to control ourselves well so as not to become emotional and also not experience more defeats. And if we can use gambling well, we can avoid increasing emotions and don't need to feel upset because we have experienced defeat.
If we fear losing a lot of money, we should limit our gambling games and not place bets with big money. That is to avoid big losses and losing a lot of money in gambling so we just try to enjoy gambling as it should. And it is normal if we feel afraid of losing a lot of money from gambling so we must try not to experience it by exercising good restrictions and self-control. And with these two things, we can also avoid disappointment, frustration or even despair because we can take good care of ourselves while we gamble.
