Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 17. (Read 6771 times)

I agree with you, because emotions in extreme states definitely affect our game, be it excessive joy or excessive anger. Starting the game in a neutral state is a good idea, but the player must understand that the casino will try to take him out of this state with each new bet. And even if the player remains calm on the 10th bet and continues to play, this will happen on the 20th or another later bet. Our emotions are being shaken, and there are only very few players who can resist this, I think they are called professionals, because nothing affects them and they are concentrated on the result of the game and are completely immersed in it. It's no secret that even professionals can eventually become frustrated if they fall into a losing streak that's too long and no one can handle it.

You definitely shouldn’t start gambling in such a psychological mood, when you are upset about something, and especially when you are angry. 
But I would also supplement this recommendation with the fact that you should not start playing even if your mood is too good or even too high.  Playing in this state dulls your logic a bit and makes your perception of the game overly optimistic. 
In general, it is probably right to start the game when you are in a strictly neutral psychological state. 
But of course, fluctuations in the player’s state are different for everyone, here everyone knows himself better than other people know him

Stress will prevent you from making the right decisions. If you can't take the right decision in gambling then you can never achieve anything good by gambling. Newbies and those who want to learn more about gambling are first told to keep a cool head and refrain from gambling when they are in a bad mood or when they are angry. If we have too much anger and gamble with that anger, it can be seen that if we lose a gamble, we use all the money we have to gamble later because we are not in a position to make the right decision at that time. 

Earning money is very difficult, people from every position work hard enough to earn money, so our information cannot be unnecessarily put at risk by making a decision to gamble out of anger or without a cool head.

Yeah, I think a hobby can be seen as an addiction if it is causing issues or problems to the person.

As long as the person is in control of the activity, it can be seen as a normal hobby.

The key difference of course is in who is in control, the person of the activity...

Hobbies can turn into addictions as well because it's all dependent on one's mindset and how much patience and self-control they have. A person with low self-control will get addicted to anything they do daily, they can't control the urge and whenever the time comes for that thing, they start feeling like something is missing or they haven't done something very important which is the hobby they have which is slowly turning into an addiction.

So people need to understand that it is never about how often someone is gambling for them to avoid getting addicted to it, it's about how they see gambling and what their thoughts are when they are gambling. If they see it as a fun activity that they do when they have some free time and extra cash, it's all good, but if they perceive gambling as a way to earn money, that can create problems for them even if they are gambling once a month.

Most likely, your lack of enthusiasm helps you to accept the results even if they are lost money. Your experience allows you not to chase losses, and gambling establishments don’t really like such players because they don’t lose much. A completely different attitude towards players who are emotional, this is the best client, because he moves from a state of joy and triumph to a state of anger, disappointment, apathy. Such emotional changes in a short period of time have a bad effect on emotional stability and burn out his nerve cells.

I also like to gamble sometimes, but it has become much less than it was about 5 years ago, when it was absolutely not important for me where to bet, even on something I didn’t understand, it was a terrible time for me, but it’s good that it’s over and I will never do that again.

Yeah, the mind state that you are when gambling will easily make a difference in how much money you spend.

You can become more risk taker depending on how you feel, and that could be potentially quite dangerous, because you can end up losing it all.

Some gambler lose their money first, then their minds, but others first lose their minds, which leads to them losing all their money.

Like you've seen it all, felt it all, and now it's just... meh. That is massive, man. Possibly as a defense against addiction, your brain has adjusted to the chaos. It's as like you've turned into a gambling scientist, studying the game rather than becoming absorbed in it. Might this detachment hold the secret to long-term gambling? Fun gambling rather than adrenaline rush?

You've evolved, man. Managing your withdrawals replaced chasing losses. That is development, that is consciousness of oneself. It is, still a balancing act. Having fun without going crazy. You are proving to others that responsible gambling is practical. Is your story a guide for others, proof of the strength of individual development? If I may say so, it's really inspirational

When you are in need of money, never even try to gamble with the little you have, thinking it’s going to increase. There are high chances that you are going to lose all the money because you will be gambling under pressure, you won’t really be settled, you won't do your analysis well. So when you are desperately in need of money, then avoid gambling.

Any amount lost in gambling should just be gone, never think about trying to win it back. If you do so, you are just planning to lose more money. That’s why, when you want to gamble, just do it with a small amount that you know you can afford to lose, so that when you lose, you won’t be trying to win back your loss.

If you know that things are not going well for you when you start gambling, then it’s just better you stay away from gambling, their are other things which you can do.

What is important in gambling is how serious we are when it comes to spending. Setting limits is very helpful to us to avoid overspending and addiction. However, keeping this idea is naturally challenging but not impossible which is why I'm not surprised that many still become addicted. It is really our gambling behavior that brings us to the situation that we have today. Knowing to stop is not difficult for casual gamblers but for those addicted gamblers, we don't know if that is still in their mind.

Gambling is not bad as long as we enjoy it but if we can't control our gambling habit anymore, that is somewhat different as we are not just having fun anymore which is not what gambling looks like.

And gambling should be considered a place to have fun and even if you get a Jackpot it is just a bodus for those of us who play, I also feel much better in applying this, but indeed when you still have an addiction to big wins it will make you far from happy and more chasing victory will be frustrating when you lose.

When I don't gamble, I don't feel like I have to go to gambling to find fun and win and when I gamble, no matter if I win or lose, my logic is much better and the fun comes naturally.

it is normal to look for winning mate but what we must prevent is to seek for bigwins because this will cut our contentment and will not enjoy the gaming , try not to be a loser all your life instead better to enjoy gaming and together with  chance of winning.
and also playing with friends is really fun but to lose is also part of playing.

When people start gambling then they are not addicted at first so they think it is fun and are not affected by loss and win but as the time passes then it is the nature of humans that they cannot bear their loss and wins of others so sometimes due to huge losses their friendship adversely affects them.

Another thing is that you will not give more time to gambling and are playing sometimes therefore this can be fun but later this can become a habit so it is hard to bear your losses and will wish to win more often so I think fun does not remain fun always sometimes it turns into a bad habit.

If they can back to thinks clear about what they already did in gambling, they will see what their condition and will knows what they must do. They will not spends more money or time in gambling and will stops gambling because they already use some money while they can't wins in gambling. They must stops gambling immediately to reduce their emotion and clear their minds from keeps playing gambling.

Gamblers must evaluate what they did in gambling so that can helps them to manage their money and time and prevents the addiction. Besides that, with take a break from gambling, they can use their time to do other things that can gives more fun than only playing gambling. They must moderately use gambling so that will not be their main things in their spare time.

Indeed, every gambler has his own experience, as well as I have experienced where I lost control of myself and bet more than 5x which was beyond my own reasonable limits, but in the end luck was on my side, this is the good thing because I was able to get a win that turned things around with a win. which can cover all my losses when I lose self-control. Currently, I gamble normally without any desire to win big, so if I win, withdraw, if I lose, that's it, there is no longer any desire to recover or chase losses. Is it possible that this is what is called being numb to gambling because there is no longer any feeling of wanting to chase losses, either because you really understand gambling or you are bored. I myself am more of a fool, as long as I don't do it too much I don't have any problems.

and maybe there are also gamblers who have not experienced the point where they lose self-control which can make them very aggressive in gambling so that they still gamble with enthusiasm to win, I myself am no longer enthusiastic about pursuing victory, therefore I have sufficient experience made myself aware. and this is good because with awareness and also no longer feeling like chasing losses, I have good self-control so that everything is fine even though I still like to gamble occasionally.

I also adhere to the second point. This also came with experience and as soon as I realized this and accepted it, playing became really fun and I no longer chase jackpots or quick wins.Sometimes we play cards with friends and we only play for tiny amounts so that no one has any offense or disappointment after the game.

Gambling have thought me a lot of lessons and from those lessons I have build long term experience and one of the things I most not do is to gamble when I am not in the right frame of mind, because when you are under any form of pressure, you can easily get carried away into believing that you may possibly make off some money from gambling by risking more that you can afford, this is what have lead many gamblers into bad situations such as addictions and debts on the long run.


Gambling should be based on fun and nothing more because regardless of how much desire we have, if that day is not our lucky day, you will still lose, which is why we advice that gamble with only an amount that you can afford to lose and be comfortable with.

The point is that every gambler must have self-awareness that gambling does not always mean winning but will also experience defeat too, every gambler should understand and be aware of this, that in gambling there are risks that must be borne, if every gambler has awareness about that, I I'm sure they won't complain about their losses, let alone try to catch up and recover from the losses they experienced, don't get addicted to gambling because it is a disease that is difficult to cure and all gamblers know that.

There is no need to worry about losing from gambling, gamble with money that is ready to be lost so that it doesn't become a burden, let alone consider it a loss, the point is to think that gambling is just for fun, nothing more than that, even when we don't gamble, we can still divert. thoughts and desires of gambling to other hobbies because there are still many hobbies that we can pursue besides gambling so that we don't always think about gambling, everyone can gamble at any time as long as it can provide entertainment at any time and can be played with full awareness.

You are right, it refreshing for Gamblers. Taking a break helps in several ways of which you have listed some, additionally resting gives Gamblers more time to be in a balance state of mind, evaluating our gambling habits and her effects, what step we need to take to shade us more. If Gamblers do this, I believe they would not be caught unaware while trying to chase losses and being emotional because of losses.
Gamblers need to accept responsibilities and understand that gambling is not designed for us to win, so it becomes a fight of which if we loss much, we need rest to have more energy to continue as simple as this.

Because when you gamble you do not see the risks that will occur in the future, and gamble by following the flow of gambling that you really want, betting continuously until you do not realize that you are stuck in the rhythm of gambling itself, there are two factors that can occur because of this problem.
You are chasing your initial losses and want the winnings to cover the previous losses.
The mood as you mentioned allows such things to happen in gambling and you only realize it at the end of the session after everything is lost.
The bottom line is that we should refrain from getting caught up in gambling under normal conditions and being responsible is a must-have for a gambler.
