In physical gambling (whether it's a big casino or just small gambling), do pressure on your opponents or playmates actually happen? Like for example, you only set a limited capital but since your friends still want to play, you will end up using all of your money. Or let's say in a casino, you have used all of your allotted money on gambling but since your opponent is winning and he wants to play more, do you exceed on your limit? Just because you don't want to look like you are afraid, that you don't have enough money already, and that you are losing?

Since I do online gambling, I don't feel this kind of pressure. I can stop whenever I want or when I have used all of my money. I don't feel embarrassed or what.

PS: I'm not sure if this topic already existed here and if there's I'm gonna delete this thread.

Yes, it happens and it will happen to everyone who is living from their paycheck.

Actually we have to play more than what we alloted in physical casinos at the scenarios you mentioned but one who follow the strict money management will quit the game at any cost because they know it is not going to easy task to earn that money if you lost on bets.

I have had a lot of moments that are more or less like this, I mean there is real pressure. The story is that I love to gamble in local communities. There are times in this kind of gambling environment when someone would try to manage the money on your behalf. Sometimes I cannot say no.

In cockfighting, for example, I do not make the odds calls. Someone has to do it for me and sometimes he will decide on the how much. I don't like it but it happened a lot of times.

I haven't had this kind of experience in online gambling, though.

Of course there are many pressures involved, just try doing martingale for a few bets and you'll get eyes gazing at you. An introvert would not feel well in a real casino. There's always a hurry factor on physical gambling which would effect your way of thinking. And in some large casinos, there are beer and girls to distract you. As their operating cost are high, they need to make more money while online gambling only depends on house edge.

Being watched by other people can give you pressure especially if you are not accustomed to being watched. It depends on your personality I guess. If you are used to being watched it can be your advantage as long as you are used to being watch and pressure doesn't affect you well. If you are on a poker table, Your enemies might get distracted from being pressured and this can be your advantage.

I am playing on a physical casino before but I have my friends with me that's why being pressured from the game is not a big issue for me because I'm comfortable with the surroundings.

No I don't feel that kind of pressure it is our choice if we want to continue or stop don't let them decide for you it is your own money and you are the one who would bear the consequence.
I always stop whenever I want even if my opponents still wants to play they couldn't do anything since we are free to do anything we want.

Yes, and this is the feeling that is really hard to fight, this has already happened to me in a gambling casino. Even if I have this allotted amount, I still end up losing all the money in my pocket. Especially if you are winning then suddenly lose, you will really bet everything you have just to get all your losses back.

Yes, it's really happen to me when I playing in physical gambling... especially when I play it with my friends. My friends often force me to play more until he satisfied or my money runs out. It's why I now prefer to play online gambling rather than physical gambling, I'm always stay anonymous and don't get any pressure. Because when I get a pressure from someone, I really not comfortable to play and then lose.

For some occasions, this kind of desire might happen to me when gambling with some friends. Though at first, I had determined the amount of money to be risked and because of the desire to continue playing even though at the time I was losing, I had to allocate more money with the aim of returning my losses. I don't think this is like pressure, but because of the desire to get my money back.

You may be able to play until you reach the limit of money you have set aside to bet, but the desire to restore defeat may change the principle of a gambler to continue playing with additional capital.

Use the search feature if you are in doubt, mate.

The feeling is natural especially when you are losing, and your competitor has their friends close to laugh at you when you quit.

Personally, I do not accept being pressured during gambling!!!But if you are satisfied with the pressure of your friends, let them know that you will suffer great losses ;D Always gambling needs vacation.

We should know how to control ourselves when something like that happened. They just want to play more to win more because they saw that we are losing our concentration to play. this is how scary gambling is, It will bring loss to someone if he doesn't have the courage to let go or to move on if he loses either big or small. Most of the people cannot handle their selves when those tempting sound of the cards reached their ears. that's why if you know yourself that you gonna ain't survive with that kind of scenario then. better no to go inside for your own safety.

No peer that will pressure me if it's online gambling because I'm alone when I gamble. But before, I have that experience whenever there's a peer pressure when I used to gamble physically.
They will push you to lose more if you're already losing, I guess that's the feeling that they are happy to see you losing more. And with that, you have no choice but to continue as you gamble or else you will be humiliated by them hearing some murmurs.

I am more a fan of sports betting than casino gambling so I don't feel that pressure. I gamble alone or with friends and being with friends doesn't make me act any different. I don't feel like I have something to prove. I play my games the way I like to and don't pay that much attention to other comments.   

Well it depends on your opponent if you do not really know them coz you are trying to blend in your play style in order to win the game especially when the game requires a lot of skill to connect. Personally, when I gamble physically I just play on my friends so I don't feel pressure at all, maybe you'll feel it when the pot is too high coz you are now eager to get it. I tried once playing with new players, I wasn't pressured that much but I feel nervous because I am the banker that time.

Yeah, sometimes I can feel the social pressure in my bones. The gamblers circle around me can be disgusting and this forces me to gamble whatever amount I have planned. The physical casinos are not a good choice for those who can easily lose the control of other gamblers regarding both bet limits and adventure.

Same here. The sports betting is completely different compared to casino games, live betting can be an exception. The attention of friends is unnecessary for me if I am sure about my final prediction. Proving something is childish, no reason to show my ability how good I am at something.

I do.

Mostly when I play "sakla". (in Tagalog or Spanish) I cannot find the translation of it.
Games like this mostly happened at funeral wake in Philippines.
I learned that game when I was still young watching my older friends do the bet.
40 cards in pairs so you will bet for 20 types.
You win, they multiply your bet by 18. 

If I am losing on that game and my friends want to play more I cannot stop using my winnings.
I always tell myself that will be the last until I drain my pocket.  ;D
You will feel the pressure from them. They don't want you leaving them behind until they are satisfied.

You bring an interesting topic, and yes that pressure is very real especially when you are playing a game like poker in which you are directly playing against other players and if you happen to lose a big hand you are going to feel pressured to keep playing even if you have exceeded already the amount of money that you wanted to gamble in that particular day, which is why it is important to never bring more money than what you want to spend to the casino otherwise you could lose control and lose all the money you're carrying with you.

This pressure only happens when you have a fixed budget for gambling and you are already depleted that. Otherwise, there's no reason for anyone to feel any pressure if opponent wants to play more. But that's when your good behavior will come to your rescue and it is always better to politely say no. I personally have visited casino in Nepal few years back during one of my expensive vacations and I mostly played the slot machines. It was a one of a kind experience for me because I had never visited a casino earlier. That certainly doesn't happen in online casinos because you mostly pay against the house instead of an individual.

It happened most of the time.

A good example is;

Sometimes in 1 v 1 or 1 v 4 and you are winning, you need to stay on the table until the game is over. You will just be able to get out if ever you lose. They can't force you to stay if you are winning but to yourself, there's a call that you need to say. It shows respect to your opponent that your game will be decided if ever one of them loses until no balance.

I feel this many times and become used to it. The game I'm talking about is Chinese Poker.

If you do let your Pride control you then you would definitely have this kind of pressure you do say on where you cant
just accept that people would just tease you or looked down on you just because you cant play anymore which i can say that
this is really a bad habit on thinking up things.

In my case, i dont really care if id loss because in my mind i already anticipated that high chances i would really waste up my
allocated money to find up leisure that i do seek of by means on playing gambling physically and of course if you win then
you win if not then move on.

I always feel that pressure especially when I'm losing but I do have a balls to say, I would like to out for now and will never push to recover my losses on that particular session.

I don't care for what others will say. Sometimes, if you just want to prove that you still have funds and you can continue as much as you want, it will just lead to much worst result. I'm a typical gambler that if I feel I'm losing, I will take a break to regain momentum, then refresh everything and come back the next time.

Honestly, it's easy to get out if you are losing rather than you are winning. You will never know what will happen next if after winning against your opponent, you will just get out right away even they still want to play.

Depends on the situation and only if needed. But what is the difference with online gambling sites ?
I think players will also get the same pressure if needed, especially for those who dont stick to the principle.

Even so, it doesnt have to be done if we want to control this kind of spending and pressure if we follow it we won't increase opportunities because we only have a 50:50 chance of winning. Come out and come back tomorrow with a better mood.  ;)

Yes, physical gambling always has pressure on me personally because my own personality is not confident when there are many people who pay attention and therefore also is a reason why I prefer online gambling. But, because that personality also makes it easy for me to leave physical gambling, but in reality I am never satisfied when gambling physically because of that pressure makes me very uncomfortable when betting.

with friends? yes, but it is usually the one who is losing who wants to play more in order to at least get back what he lost but still ending up with more loses.


with strangers in a casino? NO, I won't entertain a stranger with the risk of losing more of my money just because he/she wants to play more. but I might if I am enjoying playing with him/her.

my husband had experienced this kind of pressure...
my husband used to be a poker gambler, but since he married with me, he almost never went to play poker again, he said that one of the keys to winning in poker is not only luck but also pressure, even those who have bad cards can win if he is able to make a mental his opponent fell.

This seldom happens to me when I play with my friends. I only feel pressured if the pot is already big and if ever I am doing the right decision or not. I just enjoy playing and make sure I don't go over my limit when gambling. I never let my self get consumed by greed and stop whenever I need to stop.

We will never deny that's really happening eventhough how calm we are and if we see the pot getting more bigger and bigger for sure our sweat will drop and we will feel almost peeing in the pants for wanting to win the game, I came unto that for so many time and I hate the feeling of losing especially you feeling to win but suddenly the table turn upside down.

Of course, it is normal but the point is what is your reaction to that feeling? Do you accept it and continue playing until you spend all your money?
Personally, I won't spend all money just following the feeling of prestige. It's a shame, it means we have double losses, lose to control ourselves selves + lose to keep the money. I will let those people laugh, just leave and we don't see them anymore. Bye!!  :D

Remember it's not bad to say no because you are the one who controls your life not them. I have a friend(s) just like this but everytime they try to force me to continue to play I always ignore it and give them a reasonable excuse and thankfully they respect that. I don't think if you have some kind of friends like that is a true friend, think again. I always play for entertainment not in the purpose of making money by gambling. So basically if I win or lose it doesn't matter since I already set my mind.

For many people, it will give influence, whether small or much in pressuring especially the mental psychologically. At least, there will be some conditions where you may fee like:
1. You should focus more on your playing, while there are many people around you. Moreover, a game matched or competing with other people. The pressure is the biggest obstacle because you may lose your focus.
2. The pressure will happen moreover if we think that our chance to win is very low, it may make you feel so stressed during the game.
3. The pressure comes from the opponent that is at least he is more experienced, confident, competent, and calmers than us. It will really press us at all.
4. When you cannot manage or control your emotion better than the opponent, you will feel stressed and pressed at all.

The pressure that we feel is actually normal. However, when physical gambling, should we follow the pressure? Should pressure beat us so deeply, although not playing yet? No, the answer is no. Whether we just feel the pressure, trying to be calmer and more focus only on the game is the best situation. You may not be able to win at that moment, but, it doesn't mean that you must get depressed and pressure on that. emotional and risk Management is important at these.

The only "pressure" that exists when gambling on a land based casino is when some dumb ass makes a brain dead move in blackjack which makes the whole table want to slap him.

You see this in Vegas at low limit tables. Grandma's having her first blackjack session and his hitting 17's against a dealer's 5. It's absurd how many people will torch their own money in games they have no idea how to play.

I think I'd be more pressure if I'm winning and I want to leave the seat and that gives them the idea that I'm just a money grabber because I'd win too much. The good thing is if you know them personally I think I'll not be pressure that much but if it's just acquaintance, the pressure really was there.

There's no rule on physical casinos I guess that's if you win too much or lost you don't have the right to leave your seat, it's always your choice.

Therefore I prefer physical gambling to online gambling, because I prefer to feel pressure. Spur my adrenaline when gambling with feels pressure,
I really enjoy gambling like that. But because of the spread of the corona virus can not be stopped. I can't play physical casinos yet, I really miss
feeling pressure when playing physical gambling.

That is why there are a lot of loan sharks in the casinos or the casinos offer a credit line because there are players who will always fall to the temptation to play within their limit, and if you do not have the control you will likely end empty-handed or borrowing from loan sharks, this is why physical gambling casinos is riskier than playing online, because of the teasing that is going on between players.

Yep. You know how there's a form of psychological gaming in physical gambling right? It's like lying to your opponent unseen and undetected. There's also a form of psychological pressure when being watched by your others. If you've been in a contest or tournament before, doesn't need to be about gambling could be whatever, you'd also experience that form of "pressure". As for playing around your money to bring about pressure, that's a bit more complicated since it involves a bit of lying around with how much you have that could easily be seen IMO. The pressure at times isn't really about the money but rather the opponent when your playing against another.

this is true  and i remember this happen most of the time when i play on a real world gambling  .

 if you are winning it feels not right to stop when your opponents still have some funds left and wants to continue playing yet  but if you are on the loosing side and you said you wanted to quit , that is allowed .  it only suck sometimes because your winnings can sometimes turn into losses if you have an urge to stop but you cant due to embarasment  and also your scared to be beaten up

Yes and I think it is natural for a gambler who is losing,

You will feel the pressure if you really want to win which is hard to avoid because when you are inside a physical casino, you have nothing in your mind but to win. You won't even notice the amount of money that you already lose because you will lose your control.

I haven't experienced it yet in online gambling. Maybe that's the reason why I prefer and contented with gambling online than interacting with people on physical casinos.

I think that's more difficult to handle when there's people who would laugh when you decided to quit whether you are winning or losing.

But that's one of the purposes why we gamble right? To earn money. And I think it's better than quitting because you have lost all of your money. At least, you can go home with more money.

I guess you are good at handling pressure. Sometimes I like being pressured but not with gambling I guess. I feel like I won't be able to think properly. Especially when you are playing with people you don't really know.

But that is one of the best experiences in physical gambling that you will never experience in online gambling. You will really feel the difference.

Is this real? I am playing in a gambling casino for years but haven't ever experienced this before, maybe he only thinks that the other side are laughing.

It would become difficult if you would always give a damn about everybody's would've to say or whatever they gonna do. They're mocking you obviously, and they are getting on your nerves to force you to play once more till you got nothing left even pride. But can't blame anybody for being insensitive about this, that's how gambling with people around became more interesting. But it doesn't mean you have to let loose, and lower you guard 'cause doom is going to be beside ya the entire time till you get back into your senses.


Yeah, man. Basic tips here is to fight back by ignoring. Sounds ridiculous though but that's the only thing I can think of what would save you inside. Might be hard at first, and it sucks. And of course insecurities would attack you, but once you handle their teasing by not giving a little piece of care, believe me you'll be out there without a worry. But you have to win next time lol. It ain't about losing money and be fine.

I agree with you.  when we are in casino, we only have the desire to win. if we lose, the desire to win becomes stronger, sometimes we gamble by spending more than our allotted money, you know that it is one kind of addiction. When we come back to consciousness, then it was too late, we have lost our everything.
On the other hand, if we win, we want to play more, friends often encourage doing more gamble when they see a win. only for this reason sometimes I try to avoid real world casino, I like sports gambling more.

Gambling does not put pressure to the players, in my opinion there is no such thing as pressure when you are gambling, why would you put yourself in a position where you are forced to play and not to enjoy it, gambling should be fun and engaging but putting yourself in an unnecessary pressure makes the experience worthless. There is pressure when money is involved but gambling should be different, for me, mentality is enough to make this so called pressure at bay. Also if you are constantly losing then you are doing something wrong, you are putting pressure to yourself because you want to breakeven the money that you spent with gambling, my advice for that is to stop and take a breather, get off the table and clear your mind, remember that pressure is just a mentality and you can erase that if you are  eager.

Physical gambling do put pressure but I think that the pressure that are on work there is not individual, it is more on social. This kind of pressure can easily be shrugged off, and I think that the word pressure when it comes to gambling has been generalized so much that we can't tell the difference of social and personal pressure.

This happens to me all the time when we are gambling in what we call "peryahan". Maybe some know that term but that is very popular for us especially where there is a fiesta. Its like the same as roulette where you will predict where the ball will go and if you predicted it you will win. When I'm with my friends and we go there, I only getting a small amount of money because I expect that I will use all of that money with them.

I do online gambling too so pressure like you said in your thread is the one that I don't felt whenever I'm gambling. I know how to control myself so I will gamble whenever I want to and will stop when I need to stop.

It does happen and I have experience it personally, the capital example was a perfect one because from my findings that's the most trick they use to convince you. They make you think that by not continue paying, you're chickening out. But in online gambling there's no one to presume you into gambling if you exceeded your gambling limit for that particular game or day.

That's not what I mean,

It is not gambling who puts pressure, but the people inside of it. Co-gamblers are the one who puts the pressure to other gamblers, it is not being forced to play but your eagerness to continue playing with those guys.

No, I don't feel pressured at all, although the tendency when you are a group playing in a casino and you are playing at different tables or slot machines is that you will have to wait for each other when it is about time to leave. While waiting there are times when instead of just idling there, you are forced to spend a few more bucks and minutes.

If you are playing in a offshore gambling house you are not entitled to  stay once you already satisfied with your profits. but if you are playing with someone which is not inside legal gambling house the chance of be beaten is always possible since your opponents still have funds and they will
not allow you to quit that easy.

For me yes especially when im an introverted type of person, playing with no crowd and interaction with playmates make me calm my mind. I guess for some it's a boost for them and improve their skill. But not for me, this is why i prefer playing online than going to physical casino's.

Often times especially when your opponent/s started to get crazy especially when they are already at loss. But thinking that you are in control of the game, why not to accept their challenge. If they are lucky at that time they will win but if not, they surely getting at hell.
To these kinds of opponents you better not argue with them to avoid conflicts and to maintain the flow unless if they are getting rude.

The pressure is real. Eye contacts with them add pressure too. Specially when you are winning, not in a casino but I felt it while playing tongits with friends. I am winning and my friend is kind of pump up to get back what he just lost. Its kind of embarassing to quit at the moment because you won, felt like a jerk to say you don't want to play anymore just because you are winning. Sometimes I waited for the moment one player said he'll quit then I follow it up to end the game, or have someone change me as a player. Add the fact that you have a friend by your side cheering you on continuously saying "its your day! Go win more!". These comments will have you play more. A different kind of pressure but still a pressure.

Physical gambling is one of the most pressured and hard games for me because I'm not really a fan in the world of physical gambling but I play gambling sometimes in the casino because I just want to try the ambiance and my ability on playing gambling because most of the time I play in online there is no pressure I can enjoy my game most of the time and even profit even there is a pressure when the game is crucial still unlike the physical gambling you see the desperate faces of the people to win the game at the same time there is an observer or watchers at the back that would like to see how does the game will run. Sometimes for me there is an advantage in physical gambling because you can gain popularity and respect came from others by the thing you made good and winnings that you earn a lot this is an additional pressure too when you physical gambling.


In physical gambling, there is a lot of techniques and strategy that you can use to fight your opponents and win the game like giving pressure and play around with their tricks to turn over the table.

Well, that is right. I often play online gambling and it easy to refrain from playing if I have the reason like when I lose my allotted money for the gambling or if I have something to do perhaps, I seldom do physical gambling and I understand the pressure that you are referring to but in my case, --I always make sure that whatever happens regardless if I win or lose. I will really stop if I already need to especially if I already consumed the money I allocated in the game because of losing. Indeed, I even tell my playmates that I need to stop in a certain time if I still have something to do before we start playing and I make sure that they agree on my conditions so, no matter what would people say especially those who are just watching us I don't mind them because of the agreement I already made.

I have not come across such a situation so I won't know whether this kind of situation can arise. I generally gamble online so things are pretty different but sometimes I do gamble online with my mates and when I want to stop I do stop.

I guess it might be the physical presence that might intimidate you to follow your peers.

No cause never playing on physical gambling since all gambling activity is prohibited here.

Well, I still feel that pressure even with online gambling went losing on some casino because can't take it my money is gone. But for playing with other friends, nothing to lose it since i also make some joke with my friend gambling each other or even stealing the money between us by playing a PVP game mode on some casino.

Just like what others say, maybe it's best not to let what other people would say, pressure you. I think it's also like a psychological game when you let them dictate whether you will continue playing or not, it means they're winning over you since they are manipulating you. It's good for you if can handle this kind of pressure very well. But since I haven't experienced it yet, maybe it would be nerve-wracking.

Of course, online gambling is different. You're familiar with the environment and no one would judge you if you want to stop gambling for that day.


I'm kinda an introvert type of person as well. I have never been nor tried playing in a big casino since I don't think you can fit and get used to that environment. I would rather play lowkey online. But it would also be a great experience to play in a real casino.

Sometimes there is a pressure if you are gambling seriously and you bring people that could affect your decision making, that is not good.
just choose your friends you'll bring in a casino, make sure you trust them if you ask for their advise.

personally I am not really into making money when going in a casino, I am more concern on the entertainment, so I don't usually win but I always have fun with my friends.

Its kind of a bad idea to go to casino with a gambling addict. Once you chose to stop, he will start convincing you to continue playing. I once saw it not from a casino but from a tongits play I am watching when I was a kid. Its kind of irritating to watch specially when the player is embarrassed to quit too and kind of gullible to that friend(which is so loud). He's like a hype man pressuring you to play even though you wanted to stop, he's just there watching every move you take, and kind of motivating you in some point.

That's sure to happen if you are so friendly to your friend and you don't know how to say no, I can't say no to a friend but not to someone I don't know and playing against with, but be sure to tell your friend before you start playing that you only have this money to play, so he will not expect more from you, it's better to be honest with your friend.

Online or in physical casino, there is no difference as long as you have friends with you watching and talking on your back.
Some friends are just like a demon, if you decide to stop because you feel you are already contented with your win but they'll say go on, and sometimes that will lead to big regret, so better take a friend with you who will only watch but not dictate of give an opinion when not ask.  ;D

Many times had happened to me, but the good thing playing with my friends are:

1. If you're losing and your friend are winning, he/she can give you some kind of "goodwill" money so that you can extend playing.

2. Conversely, if you're the one winning, you will do the same to your friends

3. If both of you lose, then it's time to go home.

Sometimes you can really turn your luck around and won and give back to your friends, tit-for-tat. This is a unwritten rule between us friends, so I don't know if other physical casino players have this kind of setup with their friends.

It's easier to get up and go when you are losing but when you are winning and you have valid reasons to leave, still you get a weird look from everyone as if you were stealing their money. That is what I hate most while gambling physically. And you need to buy a round of beers on each win. That makes you get nothing even when you win.

If you are getting money in the form of lending the money, then i would not take it from my friend also. Because if my luck is going bad and i took money from my friend, there are chances that i may lose the game again and that money is lost too. So i will later have to pay my friend.

However if my friend give me some money to play more and he will not demand that money later, i will happily play with this free money.  :)

Why get pressured? It is your money that you are spending, you should not think of other people inside the casino. You get pressured, you will be wasting more money than you should be. That could also mean your family or yourself is deprived of something because of gambling. Remember that your money is precious and gambling is honestly a waste of money. If I gamble, it should be limited to the smallest amount. The hell I care about other gambler pressuring me.

Well, I managed not to feel any pressure when gambling whether it is physical or online gambling for I always allot an amount that I can afford in playing and perhaps not hurt me so much losing it if I lose. And if I lose I can immediately stop playing in any online casinos.  I seldom play physical gambling nor in physical casinos but, --I play only with my friends and colleagues. I set condition right before starting the game that once I already consume my allotted fund or when I need to leave on a specific time regardless if I am winning or the other way around I should immediately stop playing with or without their consent. Indeed, in that case, I will not get pressure on what is happening on the game if it is going to be on my side or not.

If i go to physical casino with my friends, i sometimes feel not comfortable if i am losing as my friends also watching my loss. If i start to lose in front of my friends, i normally quit gambling to avoid further embarrassing.

Maybe he feels not right if he doesn't follow to spend like what his friends did, so that makes him spend more money on gambling. But yes, I think that he needs to remind that his money is something that he owns, and he doesn't need approval from other people to spend more or stop gamble. Limiting cash is something that we must do because if we cannot limit the money, we will lose all of the money in a short time.

I don't feel any pressure about gambling, not for my money, for sure not for other people and their money! And who feels pressure on physical gambling can move to online gambling, that's not a big deal! Pros & cons, for me online gambling is better, with physical casinos you can get a drink from a nice girl (if you have a beautiful wife maybe you can have that at home too), but other things are pretty much the same, you place bets and you wait for results.
Doing anything under pressure will lead to making mistakes, you will make bad calls and you will regret it! Do everything with clear mind, be relaxed and do it or don't do it at all! Go and cool your head and continue after! Break can save you, and your money!

If he's got a lot of money, extra money, he can actually give in and spend more time and money for gambling in the name of friendship and fun. That's not a problem. If I were in his shoes, I might just yield to the pressure. But if he's just got very limited money to spend on gambling and he's just done playing and is already tired to play more, he just have to say no and leave.

I remember the time where I'm confident about communicating with other people in physical casinos and I met a lot of friend that's why every time I play, I don't feel any pressure. There are people who are really kind to you but if you play against them in a gambling casino, they will treat as a true opponent and that's a good thing about playing in casinos.

The bluffing in a certain game like poker is really effective compared to an online gambling casino. Some times people really need to have physical communication with other people so that the enjoyment is really thrilling. The reason sometimes players are going to a gambling casino, is because they want to relieve their stresses and they want to go where people and friends are there.

It really makes me comfortable playing in a gambling casino with my friends, the only thing that I hate inside the casino is that if it is very crowded and you can't do the things that you want inside.

I think it's easier if your opponent is a friend of yours. Because they can understand if you really don't have enough money to gamble more. But if it's a stranger, he could judge you for quitting. Your right, it's better, to be honest than to push yourself to your limit just because you are embarrassed about quitting.

Well, I have not experienced that kind of pressure since I don't gamble in physical casinos. I prefer online with no pressure. That's why I'm asking if physical gamblers have that kind of pressure. Yes, it's our own money and we can decide what to do about it but sometimes friends can give you pressure without them knowing it, by simply teasing you that you are afraid to bet more money, right?

I am not sure online gambling is gambling that can be played without pressure. Both gambling at physical casinos and online gambling I think we will experience pressure even though the ratio is different and also depends on the type of game you are playing. The form of pressure on online gambling can be identified when a number of bet we play end in defeat, and efforts to anticipate more losses are things that can be classified as pressure for a player.

The type of pressure that exists in online gambling may differ from physical casino, assuming the pressure obtained online comes from oneself and the pressure from physical casino comes from others. Despite all that, I still believe that whatever type of gambling we are under pressure at a different ratio.

This happens not only because of your opponents, this can also happen because your friends do not want to leave the casino and want to keep gambling and you have already spent all the money that you wanted during that time, at that point it is not rare at all for people to go beyond their budget that they set for that day in particular and keep gambling way more than what they wanted just because they want to keep getting fun with their friends, and this can be very dangerous because once you go over your budget there is no limit to what you can spend in the casino.

If you do have that kind of high pride towards showing off that you do have lots of money in front of other people then you will surely be pressured in the times that you are
already losing or dont have already money on your pocket.This shows of that other personality of yours because not all would really have that kind of pride on which
they cant stop because they dont have any more money or making self-decision that they should gonna stop on a particular situation.In my case, i dont feel any problems
for me to stop, how you would proceed if you dont have any funds left?

I only get pressured when the bystander or the crowd are starting to spectate my table I'm playing. Usually this happens a lot in Blackjack and Baccarat tables as they are either waiting for a sit or they are just interested with the recent strict of some players. I'll start to get pressured when they are staring at my bets as well so it makes me uncomfortable. So what I do is if I get two or three bad bets straight I'll just move into another table with no crows watching. Actually this is one of the disadvantages in casinos that lets crows observe games people who don't like crows tend to get uncomfortable including me.

Most of the time they won't make you leave unless you have valid reasons or it will be as if the last man standing fight until all of your money or their money is gone. leaving will only result in some bad consequences and the funnier about it is when staying you will have the bad consequences too because you will gonna stay until you lose all of your money that day. the next day will probably the same for you and so on so forth.

You dont have any obligations or for them to have the rights to stop you when you needed to.You do have your own free will and others dont have the power on what would you do next.
You can stop anytime if youd like to but the question is, do you able to stop midway or the time you do know that you are losing that much? Theres nothing to be shy off when you are
already empty handed because this had been always the norm when you do gamble which its either your losing or winning into that certain day.

just stop when you want to . you can use alibi too to convince them . my oponent gambler on our place always does this , she says that her husband will arrived from work  so she needs to prepare food in thier house  . we understand it and will accept the situation win or loose, also not all time she wins . she also quit early whenever she loose .

its a gambling and there is no comitmenton it , unless you guys sign a waiver or some kind of agreement that there is no stoping till all agree .

I rarely play physical gambling and if ever I did usually its a card game.

I have a fix capital when I gamble so if ever I lose that amount and my opponent still want to play for some reason, im not going to pressure myself to use the money left because I have set a limit for myself.

Of course its tempting but if you have discipline refusing is not hard to do.

It happens to me almost all the time if I am with my friend gambling on a casino. The situation is whenever we are playing and someone on my friends is winning then, I am gonna get jealous and I'm gonna bet big even though I am losing. It always happen to me, but still I am trying hard to control myself and set a limit whenever we are going outside to gamble. I don't want to be broke just because of gambling. But since there's a lock-down on our country I am just doing online gambling now and in every play I make I also have a limit and luckily whenever I am losing now I can control myself since there's no peer pressure that is being applied to me.

I get the idea, I sometimes watch live poker games and I find the face and emotions of the players somehow intimidating when they look at each other. If I am in their shoes, I will feel the pressure because you don't know maybe, they are just giving you that kind of looks to intimidate you, or maybe they actually have the winning cards. These kind of experience is what makes card games addictive, as it serves as a challenge to face your fear because in the end, the person with the strongest mindset will control the game. IMO, poker isn't just a game of cards, but a game of trust and discipline.

 Sorry but I kind of disagree on this one. Maybe your husband turned that pressure into a good tool to become competent in gambling. However, that oppose my way of gambling. Whenever I had some pressure playing, I tend to lose and lose more and that makes it for me to attract negative vibes.
 
 Luck involves in winning but when you have pressure while playing I don't think other player can handel it.

Playing with friends is the most valuable gaming for me because cheaters are now welcome and also we are.confident that playing fair is indeed.

And about pressure? This is not.available for me because i only play now to entertain myself and have fun so whatever the outcome of my game does not affect my life.

agree! you are not answering to anybody when you are in gambling. it is your own money, so your strategy on how things will go here. if you know what you want, you will not be distracted by the supposedly "pressure" put onto you by others. a strong personality is needed when you are in gambling. don't let others overpower your thoughts and decisions.

I think the pressures on the opponents really happen, but the form will be different. I think people already face it in the casino, and they think that it is usual to happen in the casino. But for people who can control themselves, they will not get the effect of the pressures because they always take care of their money. They will not allocate more money to be used in gambling. They will not be a problem if their opponents think that they don't have money to play the games because they don't want to lose more money.

This is basically a comparison between physical and online casino. Playing with friends and playing alone definitely have lots of differences. Your lifestyle, your social status and all other related things has nothing to do while you playing online whereas those things are the reason to gamble for going into physical casino.

It means you will get pressurized when your friends want to continue but you have already at your limits. This type of pressures will usually end of losing all the money and also may lead for getting loans for gambling purposes or availing all the limits of credit cards. At the same time, online gambling is providing full levels of freedom from such external pressurizing forces. You may gamble just with faucets alone, no one would care nor tease ;).

I guess that is not a problem and do not need to delete. I mean forum rules are not restricting us to have our own topic to know others opinion for a common/individual's problem. But, spamming in the name of copying the concepts for a topic will lead to temporary/permanent ban for sure.

When this pandemic is not yet existing, I always remember the time when I play in physical gambling with my friends and I'm so comfortable when I'm with them. I just don't like the circumstances where the casino are crowded and it is really hot inside and the noises are really louder than you imagine. But casinos are public and we need to deal with that environment just to play gambling.

Online gambling is really a good alternative for you to relax and just feel the gambling game again even if the physical casinos are closed. Sometimes you need to deal with the reality in order for you to accept the fact and enjoy things that you have. In terms of pressure in physical casinos, it is normal for you to feel that so that there is a thrill while you play gambling.

There are three reason why you get pressure while you are betting

1) first if you are newbie and playing with the pro for sure you will get tense since they've got the advantage to win over you.
2) is if you are losing and want to recover the money what you lose for this you will get an extreme adrenaline rush since you want to fast things up to recover.
3) You are surrounded with many people who discriminate your playing style for sure you will get more affected on this and you cannot focus on the game you are playing.

Pressure is normal and it's up to us on how we react in stressful times.

When I first started gambling, I couldn't control myself and I was gambling with more money every day, being affected by environmental factors. As such, I became addicted to gambling in a short time and played games above the target budget that I set for a long time. Afterwards, I managed to control myself and then I started to lose less money by playing more balanced gambling games. After this process, I started to spend no more money than my target or limit in neither physical casinos nor online casino games. Yes, I did it and you can be sure that it is not a very difficult thing.

You need to be a professional gambler or a well discipline gambling in order for you to manage yourself effective when under pressure.
The fact that gambling has a risk, you will really feel the pressure especially if you are risking a decent amount of money, even if you can afford to lose it.

practice makes perfect, eventually we will be able to learn that and you can get rid of people you don't want to be with you so you can concentrate since it's your money so it should be your rules as well.

I made a bit similar topic before but I already close it to avoid spam replies. It has a different title but I get the same replies. It is about physical casinos compared to online casinos and what pressure do gamblers are experiencing. Because my question is already been answered and there is no point to discuss it further. If you want to read my previous topic here it is, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240181.msg54214206#msg54214206

^ Something like that, when you start losing then pressure also comes in for players whether in an online casino or physical casinos doesn't want to lose in fact all of us aim to win at the end of the session and that is why we experience pressure when we gamble. There are some ways that we can overcome this feeling of goad like allotting a certain amount that we will not get hurt too much if we lose. Providing some conditions prior to starting the game such as letting other players that you only have this specific amount for the game or you only have a limited time to play, and when the clock beats the time you provided win or lose you will stop playing and leave. In my case, I always do these conditions because it helps me not to get pressured in the game but also it holds me back for being hooked nor addicted to gambling.

To what extent can a gambler be considered a professional ? I dont think gamblers are called professionals because this is not a job. It is suitable if they are referred to as experienced gamblers because of their intelligence, techniques, and how to manage finances in any situation regardless of pressure or not.

All gambling games risk losing money because they lose and that will vary depending on the odds. The pressure referred to by the OP is the pressure exerted by opponents in some situations and it makes a person react to go against the financial capacity limits they set beforehand to gamble. Big bet will only make the risk bigger and dont make us more stressed.

Nothing can be perfect in gambling, because every player still needs luck to make them win even though they are very experienced at gambling.

I agree with you. Being a gambler should be not called a professional, it is not a career or job. Even some people stated that playing gambling is only about to have entertainment / have fun. How can a professional do this? It is not really appropriate to call a professional. Get more serious activity to call as a professional.

Yes, in some games, luck is playing a more important role than skills or experience. So, even if we are skillful gamblers who have various experiences, it is still not enough to win the game if we have bad luck in playing.  :D

I'm sticking into my limitation and Seem to sorry that I regret his proposal. And even I've loss already but I don't want to chase my losses to get back instead of accepting that you are not lucky this time. I don't think it is a pressure alike but that only he'll taking the advantage since he knows he is lucky this time and doesn't want to break the momentum. But as we are who knows to manage ourselves, we can simply decline such temptation otherwise, we will go home with nothing left in our pocket.

So there are good and bad sides of this temptation, some gamblers don't want to feel the pressure over their shoulders while other types of gamblers want to go all in. There is a deep correlation between the emotions and balance of gamblers, if mastering yourself means to control the gambling activity as a professional trader then there is a point to go all in and feel the pressure over years of experience.

Ignoring those things might lessen your stress in gambling, and I always suggest that if you're dealing with it you should enjoy and have fun. Don't carry all burdens with you, because if you can't manage gambling the right ways I think depression will dominate in the first place. That's why every person needs to learn how to gain self control in order to put everything within the right direction to avoid possible circumstances.

For me, I am that kind of gambler that would never be addicted to gambling since I am a rational person.

I don't really make my emotions command me, I think. I am saying this because I think if we will be talking about being pressured by other people's winnings, I don't care. I know that I am losing and I am crossing my limit so I will stop and get out. Don't get me wrong though, I do have some of those times that I should stop but I didn't. I want also wanted to get back my losses and at the same time, I have my friends with me at that time.

There is really a pressure because your friend expect you to be with him til the end , but honesty can save you a lot of money, you have no recourse but  to tell him that you have had enough and just be contend  to watch your friend play with other players, you must not be pressure to ask for a loan just to keep up, you also need to protect your finances.

As long as we can know how to eliminate the pressure for not become bigger, we don't have to worry with that. We can still play gambling, enjoy the game, and have fun in the game without getting the effect of the pressure. Using some money that we can afford to lose will prevent us from feeling hurt or sad if we lose in the game so we can reduce the pressure itself. I always limit my money and time to play gambling because I don't want to feel the pressure, and I know that the pressure will be difficult to reduce.

I don't know how it is in your area but in my area there are tons of bank ATMs and certain types of credit card merchant machines right by the casino or in the casino. These machines usually have high fees, it doesn't make sense to use them. You are better off just withdrawing money from your bank direction, however people still use them. Why is that? Probably due to all the reasons you have outlined.

People probably already got cash in their wallet and they start to gamble. They lose it all and go on tilt or think they can win it back, so what do they do? Leave the casino and drive to their bank? No its probably closed or too far away. They basically walk a few feet and withdraw more money to gamble away.

Hence the reason why those machines are so effective at making the casino so much money.

It is always to control the emotions while playing online at home where normally you don’t have any pressure yet I won 400 Eur yesterday and lose it all in just a few minutes as I raised the bet heavily trying to get that jackpot.In a physical environment it is even more difficult to contain the pressure so probably lose a lot there compared to playing online although even in online gambling pressure can get you.

I believe in physical gambling we are more cautious than online since we have the money/chips on hand not like in online when we are just looking at the value and have no contact physically.

But of course we have our own style and views in gambling,but this is how i see gamblers is because i use to be spending more in betting.

I think you are just having a difficult time to say no or to decline your friends invitations and your opponents because you could really lose a lot of money if you push yourself to play more, even you already lose a lot of money. To be honest, when my friends ask me to play and gamble more of my money i have the courage to say no to the because i have enough playing gambling, and that is not bad at all.

For me, you should be cautious all the time as even if its online gambling its still gambling and you can still lose your money.

Though they might give different experience but the risk is the same, we make mistakes we lose, same with online.

This is what I'm doing when I'm with my friends and we are gambling.

I know already from the start that we will go to gamble so when I'm still at home I will get an amount where it is allotted only for gambling and nothing more. If that losses then I will not get money anymore so I will limit my expenses in gambling. Exceeding your limits in gambling will lead you to addiction. Exceeding limits is a proof that you are greedy enough to spend your money where you know already that you are losing all of your money on it.

Anyway, I've missed physical gambling here in my place since I didn't do it for a long time already and because of this stupid pandemic.

I guess this pressure depends on how can we adapt and get used to that kind of environment. I agree with arwin100, maybe this pressure is normal for newbies or for those who are not used going to big casinos.

Being a gambler is not just about the skills, it also includes great discipline. But not everyone is good at handling great pressure in gambling.

But this self-control is what some people are missing. I think this is what gambling addicts are forgetting. The stress they get knowing that they are already losing. So they often end up using every money they have. Sometimes even in online gambling, I'm also forgetting to control myself. Even though there's no pressure with my surroundings, I sometimes exceed what I only should be spending.

This happens sometimes specially if my opponent is known to be good in that specific gambling?like card game?i felt the pressure of pursuing my skills to win over him.
In situation like this?no i will stand the table once my capital is lose and will never play just for the sake of my friends wanted to stay longer in playing.
i don't think in casino this is applicable because there are many players that waiting for slot so once you are enough then stand and others will bet on your place so the opponent will have another one.

afraid on what?gambling is there even how billions you have to gamble so there is no place for being afraid because you can go back tomorrow or the next day.

Pressure should not be felt in my opinion, gambling for me should be fun, exciting and enjoyable. Pressure and stress takes place only when you have put so much in beyond your bounds.
When we play, we should have that limit. If you lose, atleast you haven't lost that much.
For gamblers, I truly admire and amazed how they keep on doing it greatly. I think for first timers, precautions is a must.

You can't just say "it shouldn't be felt" since that's human nature.

Even professional gamblers feel that but since they are used to it, they can still keep up on their feet and not affected at all even they are pressured.

Gambling is fun but considering this activity as always fun will just result in waste of time. We gamble to make a profit, not to have purely fun. We aren't spending and wasting our money just for fun.

No not all but if my friend can give me money so I can keep up with him that will be ok, but I'm allocating what I can afford to gamble I never add more, that will start something bad and will regret it later, I just tell my friend that I'm out of money and have to just contend of watching him continue but of course I'm here to stay with him as long as he likes a company.

Besides, when the opponent or that is our friend in gambling when they have won, I think they understand it if the money we allocate is indeed limited so we cannot continue the game and even though he said something about bluffing or something else, I guess that just a joke because after all it's just a gambling game done with friends and we don't need to make these words something serious that can make us ashamed, because basically gambling is entertainment, right.

But people does have different level when it comes to pride on where they dont like to be ashamed in front of other people or even to his friend.Yeah it
do sound dumb but this do actually happen in real life where people cant accept that they do lost and still acting like they do still have funds into their pockets
on when the time comes that he dont have anything then he do make some alibis for him to not to continue to play.

Pressure are to those people who are just trying to impress that he do have the financial capacity even though in a hard situation
he do make himself look tough but deep inside,hes already worrying and feeling ashamed.

The result would be the same if you get addicted to those two. the consequences you get from physical gambling will also be the same for online gambling unless you are the only one who knows about it but that's not possible when it comes to physical gambling because you are visible to the other players and will be known. in the online gambling, you might save your face but not permanently I'm sure one day your family finds about it and you will need to explain it to them. That's why I'm not gonna risk myself to be one of those two categories.

I would not fee the same because I always gamble but I don't feel I am wasting my time, the way you handle yourself is very important and as long as you know how to balance your time that you can still do a lot of important things than gambling, then I guess it should not affect you negatively.

Of course, but we have to understand that not everyone of us can make profit, in fact, most of us are losing money in gambling but we can always have fun even if we lose because in the first place, we consider gambling as a way to be entertainment which in most cases, entertainment will only be achieve once you spend.

There's a lot of thrill on physical gambling and you might feel the pressure if you're winning continuously or losing more money and sometimes I feel the same pressure while I'm losing the money. There's a big difference on gambling online and on casinos, I like more playing on the casinos because its really fun while on gambling online, I think its more on making money. If we get back to normal and already have a vaccine for Covid-19, I will surely play on the casinos again.

Actually the same, people can also enjoy a lot even just playing in online casino, this is only based on how we feel or the person playing.

if such person likes an online casino more than a physical casino, then he will probably enjoy more playing online.
In terms of winning and having fun, you can both have it in any platform that you love to choose.

No, it's free money from my friend. I really don't know when this started, but when we go to a casino, around 5-6 of us, we just had this habit. Maybe all of us wanted to win that's why we try to give anyone of us some free money to get back into the game. And it is expected that you do the same if you were able to win with this free money. So there is no loan here, just to make it clear.

Yes, we had experienced that feeling before, that is really pressuring when you are playing with your friends because of the reason that you don't want to end playing with your friends, you tend to spend all of your money but sometimes it ends up losing. So I suggest whenever you are playing with your friends, try to limit your budget. Spend the money that you are not afraid of losing or you won't be sad if you will get lost so you will not be disappointed if that thing happens.
Nice, I hope that it is that easy as I can, I insist thinking that way before whenever I am losing money with my friends but when thinking about my friends that it's so embarrassing to quit the game when losing.

Its kind of a marketing strategy. It has high fees because they know player would never have a choice and will still use it as long as they can continue playing, some gamblers will be swayed away to withdraw money because they are greedy to get back what they've just lost. Its like a trap.

Back to the topic, I think pressure is normal. You are in the middle of losing money or earning money. I also believe that even a professional gambler still feel the pressure, but they've had so may experience that they learn how to live with it, play with it. They can still think normally under pressure. Pro or newbie, it will always differ on how one can handle the pressure.

I think no matter if we play online gambling at home, the pressure still is there, but maybe the pressure will not too big as in the physical casino because we meet other people in real situations. Whoa, losing 400 Euro is big money for me, and I will feel be sad if I am in your position. But I see that you can handle it with good ;)

I cannot imagine how big the pressure in the physical casino because I never go to that place. I prefer to use online gambling because I think it is difficult to handle our emotion in that place.

Despite the places you are gambling in, in terms of emotion, physical and online casinos are the same.

Emotions do not depend on the place where you are gambling, either online or offline. As long as you feel that you are losing and you need to step out of the limit, you will be doing that. The casino through increases that emotions or feelings more since you are surrounded by people that could either make them jealous or they want to show off, that is a big factor why a lot of people are following their emotions offline than online.

I feel the pressure when I don’t have money anymore but if I still have the funds then I feel more the pleassure and happiness while playing, this is normal. Physical gambling works to manipulate gamblers, they’ve done this on purpose so the gamblers have to play more and becomes addict later on, if you don’t have self-control then you’re on the lose end.

I tend not to agree on this because emotion is different in Live casino playing because there are other people around you and the ambiance is so different when you are playing online in your room.
sorry to mention this mate but i believe that you are not a regular Live casino player and mostly playing only Via online thats why you cannot differentiate those 2 but i understand you .

This will be the edge of the noob and a pro gambler. In physical casino specially in games where mind and emotions are belong, pro player tends to be a poker face. Why? Because a small guts or even a smile can be a hint for your opponents. That's why I think most of the noobs are defeated in mind games. I didn't yet play in any physical casino's but I am always watching pro poker tournament. And I have seen how calm and faceless the players are.

However, if I am playing in physical casino probably I will lose. Because I have ^{parkinson's disease}. Just kidding. I have spasm in my hands.

Have missed that point. I respectfully agree that when it comes to profit gaining absence of pressure is impossible.
Maybe that is because I am not that of a gambler, only play if i have the chance.
Gamblers are risk takers and that is what i admire them for.

I like to quit than sorry, I can't ever let that happen, if you let it happen then you have no control of your finances and you are easily swayed by what your friends and your playmates are saying, you should know how to stop and when to stop, it's very important that you do this.

Maybe for some gamblers, the emotions will not be different. But for the other gamblers, I think the emotions will be different because many of them cannot handle their emotions, no matter if they lose or win. The emotions will be bigger if they play on the psychical casino because they meet each other in one table, they can shout to each other, or bluffing each other because they want to win.

how can you be pressured when you have no money?lol is that some kind of a joke?

If we have no funds for betting then we have nothing to do but go home and fix your day since no one will give you money to gamble lol.
Perfect answer mate,it is depriving and frustrating when you cannot control yourself from gambling even though you are losing bigger and bigger.

There's this virtual game we normal bet on in one of the betting shop in my locality. Once you're into the virtual game soccer betting, you will be betting until you run out of cash, hoping that you'll get back your money back. You'll be highly eager and frustrated at the end. But once money comes in you'll continue from where you stopped

One thing that you should not let happens to you when you are gambling is for others to decide is how and when you will play, even the amount of money that you are going to gamble, you should be in total control of your gambling activity, this is how people jeopardize their lives but falling to limit themselves, it's one of the risk of gambling that you need to have total control.

It will always be different specially to those who are not that good in concentrating with people around them. You can think peacefully at home, think a few steps ahead with ease. While in casino, some can't concentrate when there are people watching them, pressure with the money you gamble plus the pressure your opponent looking at you will hit differently. It may be true other gamblers will be comfortable with both, but I am sure a lot of us felt the intense and thrill facing other gamblers face to face.

It's normal that people will watch you when you are in a casino, as a casino player, you should be aware with that, the reason why you choose that venue is you like the atmosphere, otherwise, you'll just choose to gamble at home in your room.  :)

Most of the time I do not exceed on my limit not only in gambling but also in some other things like buying clothes. If I also feel that it is not my lucky day to play I will just stop to control the losses. But of course there are times that you are enjoying. There are times also that you already get back your capital and you have extras coz you win on the previous rounds so you just stick playing due to that amount which is fine to lose.

I did went but I am not a regular, to be honest.

I can't stand talking to people when they ask me how I am doing? What is happening, some even ask me something I can't really answer like hows my cousin or my nephews. Maybe I don't belong to physical casinos or live casinos but there are some people that actually told me about this and the pressure is usually offline than online.

The problem is when you are living in a community where people usually judge gambling as a bad activity, you will really be judge, and more so if you are a loser, I mean you are losing more, they think when a person is a gambler, he is responsible. You just have to ensure that you are gamble with focus, and if you are not convenient with gambling in a casino due to the factors I mentioned, then online gambling is best suited for us.


This also depends on how a person would feel, if you are too sensitive, you will really find their comments or what they think very disturbing.

Good for you but not all of the gamblers are doing this kind of thing. Even though they felt that they are losing already most of their funds, their money will get lost because of HOPE. Hoping that they will get the jackpot despite of losing consecutive times already.

You are enjoying if you are winning but not all the time you are winning so it would be better to stop if you have some profits already or remove the total capital from your bankroll including some of the profits and use the remaining to gamble. If that amount losses then you will stop, go home with a bit of profits.

One will need to have the control on these and come out of this difficult time else if we all surrender to this then they will be heavy on us and we will never be able to recover from it. In the same way we will need to think something other than gambling or any addiction which we have to quit and the way as well to come out of it.s

If you play physical gambling its not easy to control ourselves because of our eagerness to win specially if we know we have an extra money to spend. Thats why having self control is necessary so you are not pressure to continue playing even your opponents are still on the game to play. Its not embarrasing to stop if you lose your set money to gamble, you are just a discipline gambler and knows your limit.

True, there are people who likes to gamble but does not like a big crowd or does not want to be judge, so gambling secretly would be a great idea then, and with a little education about online gambling, we can start right away, and good thing that there's an increasing number of casinos in the crypto world which can serve a lot of gamblers who like to enjoy online, for me, I enjoy online gambling than going in a physical casino.

It's a control matter.

You don't bet until you run out of cash unless it's your plan to lose all of your money from the beginning. I don't gamble with that kind of setting and as much as possible, I remain a small amount as spare money whatever happens when I gamble.

I don't get the pressure of the people on the circle with me.

Yeah thats why  my stand is different from what OP wants to say as i have been in live casino constantly when i was still
active in gambling and also i am playing online  so i can differentiate both gambling sessions and yeah they don't fit together
specially for those people that loves semi private life.

and most of them are VIP player meaning they can afford playing with much expense just to have their privacy .

Because the state does not allow physical casinos, I have never experienced the pressures that the OP said when visiting physical casinos. However, I only have a few habits gambling on online sites and especially online crypto gambling.

I love dice and I have played it on several sites. As an experience, I can be said to be disadvantaged in gambling because I often lose compared to winning so I have to come out with an empty balance. To win, I had to make a number of attempts and also use several techniques. But in the end I was still unlucky and could my efforts to achieve victory be called something like pressure ? If can, that means physical gambling and online gambling are both having pressure for players even with different situations.

Before I tried to play the traditional way of casino and other gambling games. One of the games I had tried is betting in Billiards in which I will bet that I can win the game for a big amount of money. As long as no one defeats me I will play continuesly without realizing that I am slowly being an addict. But when I experienced a lose streak, I got pressured and had decided to stop playing gambling because I am really afraid to lose all of the things I had just because of the addiction.

Fear of being addicted to the game I think does not mean you get pressure. The pressure in question is a condition that forces us to continue to bet even though we have run out of capital and what you feel is something called awareness.

And what I feel is the urge to keep playing to win even though I have repeatedly lost. Really, the pressure that comes from these two types of gambling is a different matter. I would say that the pressure from opponents on physical gambling is more dangerous than the urge to continue playing to win in online gambling.

Losing is part of the game and it doesn't guarantee you anytime that no one can beat you no matter how good you are on billiards as you say.
There would really be a time that someone can beat you up on a certain game.Therefore, quitting wont really be a solution but instead you should
make it as a inspiration since you do know that you can improve better.The thing or concern here is that you shouldn't risk too much money
along the way and as long you do enjoy the game then it wouldn't matter at all.

Unlike on other games specially luck based ones then I don't see for it to be worth for you to go further and force up to something since we know
that we cant control the odds.

Can you explain why you said "more dangerous"? For me, it is just more visible or stronger than online gambling but not more dangerous. Indeed you will feel stronger pressure since you face to face to your opponent in physical gambling. But I think it is not about "dangerous", this term is only used for someone/condition that threatens you, not give you pressure during playing gambling.

Fine, I will explain a little what I mean. It should not be interpreted as a physical threat but rather as a specific thing and it is like a strong push. We may be able to end the game at any time in online gambling even when we win a lot, but we cant end the game at will in physical gambling because there are things to consider and it will be a pressure.

In some situations, players in physical gambling are also confronted with opponents requests to continue playing even if they are at a disadvantage.

If you sey a limited capital but play with friends, doesn't matter whether in physical casino or on online casino, there will always be (possibly) pressure to break through this limit. Another actual pressures can happein in online casinos too, everything depends on your psychological conditions. When you think that you are playing to actual player, you may feel under pressure but when you know it's bot - you may not.
In overall, it's very individual task.
Psysical gambling and online gambling has much more differences than that one which includes chances of win (at some point it's really different), your skils usage may change in these situations (you can understand bleff of your opponent with mimics in real life but not online) and other things.

So that's a positive kind of pressure. The one that made you stop playing.

What OP is talking about is also called peer pressure. It's when you look around and see other people doing something and feel compelled to do the same.

I've never cared much about that and never did things like continue drinking because my friends wanted to get drunk. I do what I feel like I wanna do not the things others want.

To be honest, physical gambling may be pressuring sometimes but when you are used to it, there is no problem at it at all. You will never be pressured by shouting people, you might even go with it and make your game more fun. Some might say that being in a physical gambling means it is pressuring since there are a lot of people but no, it will really lift up your game.

Perhaps, the pressure experience will come not only from people around you, but also from the amount of bets you've placed in relation to how much funds you have and willing to gamble.

Because based from my experience, I often feel the pressure if I have bet a little higher so I watch the animation to make the time longer. honestly, you will not feel the pressure when playing without animation in online. Maybe, the reason why phyiscal gambling casino induces more pressure is because you can't skip the animation and it really shows in front of you with loud noises (still, in relation to how much bet you've placed).

I've experienced this many times already and I always do the same thing.

When I'm with them, I only get a small amount of money since I know that I can't control myself as they will let me use all of my money for gambling. I'm only getting a small amount where I will be ok whenever it will be lost. In that way, my losses will be minimized.

Overall, there is pressure when you are playing physical gambling and it is different compare to when you are gambling online.

That was normal and it really happens commonly specially when gaming have been exciting and the players are still into a hype and the momentum of the good game has already been set into fire.

 But being driven by this kind of pressure will still depend on the player because as a responsible gambler, you still must know your limitations to avoid being pushed into the limits of your resources you have set for playing. Remember that you can do always have chance to play on some other time because once you agreed or get in touch into the invitation of playing even you are already reaching your limitations, it might lead you into a decision of borrowing money that can lead into debts. Even pressure is present in a physical gambling on casino establishments, still you must be patient and know when to stop to avoid worst cases to happen.

I don't think anyone will force you to play more in the casino even if it's your friend, he should understand and not force you anymore when you don't play.
if it's like that, I think it's a shame, it's even better if you can control your emotions.

In peers, there's always a pressure or someone will tease you to continue even if you don't want to.

This happens most of the time when you are at the center of your friends and they feel excited whenever they watch you as you go. But you can stop the pressure, things will still depend how you react.

Wow! What a great sense of control you have. I think, it's somehow unusual for me to see or encounter people who don't let their peers affect their actions just to make themselves look cool and unafraid.

Well, as for me, I haven't had the experience to play in physical casinos but I have gambled with my friends on some special occasions. And like you, I don't let them affect how I should act. There's pressure, of course, and I think that's normal or natural. But I see to it that I am the one in control of my self. So I stop when I want to and when I have to. In the end, I'd be the one responsible for my actions. If anything goes wrong, then no one to blame but myself.

I gamble with the amount which i think i can afford to lose and does not necessarily create pressure of other being watching me which in a physical casino. Why should i spent more only to please the others when they take no responsibility of my loss or win.

It's been so long since I played last time in a casino. Boring corona times  :'(

I agree thats very different if you go with a group of friends and they are watching you or if you play by yourself. I normally play a bit of roulette or black jack after a poker tournament by myself and don't feel any pressure my strangers just wachting. But when going with friends is all about betting and enjoy your time. The peer pressure makes it hard to take your winnings and cash out. But if you actually manage to win big time, it nice to go for a drink and invite your friends instead of losing again in the long run.
