When we gamble we feel all the emotions, like when we feel excited when we are chasing our losses, feeling happy when we won a big amount, feeling depressed when we lose and we feel frustrated when what we expected to happen did not materialize, this is one of the reasons why we cannot stop gambling because we feel all the emotions.

Do you agree that we cannot stop gambling because it completed all our emotions and do you have other feelings when you gamble.

But feeling depressed is not good. Punters should look for means to gamble but avoid depression. This can be done with risking the amount you can lose and not think about it if lost but still feeling happy.

Obviously emotionally I agree that we cannot stop gambling if it is supported by funds and given a winning stimulus. But when my condition didn't have the funds to bet and the desire to gamble seemed to be fulfilled then what I did was switched to playing demo racing with my closest friends to collect as many wins as possible (at that time I thought I was struggling with real balances). Keep in mind this is only part of the trick so I can control my emotions. Personally, there are plenty of alternatives and people will have different options.

if the goal is just to get a lot of money from the casino, I think that's what is instilled in our mindset to continue to chase it so that the more you lose playing at the casino, you will continue to be more curious and get more emotional because you don't get what you want to get

everything comes back to yourself and every risk is borne by yourself when you play you have to be ready for whatever it is, I've played and lost then emotional every time I make a deposit the more I realize I'm playing too far and finally I am now wiser in playing casino especially with the aim of just looking for fun not money so my mindset is not always curious, hopefully gambling addicts can play healthy and I'm sure they can stop being an addict

Well that's true there is such a thing as positive and negative gambling, negative when you are depressed after you log out of the game whether you lose or you win, and positive when even if you lose you feel good because you lose with money that you can afford to lose and enjoy the experience, if you're gambling long enough you'll feel all the emotions its part of the game the most important is the positive is the one that you expeirienced the most.

completely agreed  mate , this is why most of those who turns addicted are the people that has Emotional weaknesses  because they are the one in which wanted to chase their losses instead of accepting the faith of the day and tries to recover in the coming days.
also Emotions makes us eager to take our money back , that is why best to leave your emotion outside gambling premises .

or if you are playing Online then best to bring only the amount you can lose and don't take another amount to challenge the luck .

We can quit after playing a few times but not many can do that because if they lose, they will be more eager to recover from that defeat than choose to quit.
Those emotions will only get bigger if we don't stop immediately and we often feel angry and wonder why we lost.
I try to suppress any feelings that come to me while I am gambling because it can affect my self-control and in the end, I will be tempted to continue playing.
It won't help me to avoid bigger losses and will give me a lot of losses after playing a few rounds.

I agree that when someone can't stop himself to gamble even if he's already on a losing streak, it's because that he has let his feelings and emotions conquer his control.

When you've allowed your emotion to control over you, you'll forget about everything and you're all set to think that it's all going to be recovery of your losses.

But you also understand that it won't do no good anymore and you're like throwing your money in every place you gamble because that's how adrenaline works.

Partly yes, gambling has played our emotions to the maximum, give us that satisfaction, but when we lose, we want to recover and make a comeback. And that usually happens, so it's really hard to control and then we become addicted to it.

That's why most of the time it's really hard to quit, as we want to get that feeling again, specially if we win big. We want to experience that same feeling and again. And so if we want to quit gambling, it's going to be a fight inside of us and it's not going to be easy.

This advice isn't new to gamblers especially the responsible ones if you can not afford to lose big amounts then gamble within your financial capacity, a lot of people are depressed after losing in gambling because of gambling with borrowed funds and amounts they can't afford to lose this case is mostly seen in the addicted gamblers and beginners in the gambling business.

I have a passion for gambling but I have limits to which I gamble once the amount set aside for my gambling is reached, I can not gamble again and I don't think about my losses once am done.

Why can't someone stop to gamble when you are having more lose to what you gain? Like the emotion making you to gamble and lose, if you don't stop this will lead you into the depression state of your mind and you can't think straight. This can be a different view but we the good reason. Everybody can't be the same person, when you are going negative you will stop doing the gambling because no more to continue doing the lifestyle.

I agree with all of these feelings. I also experience every emotion when I gamble. But mainly for me; gambling means adrenaline. This is where the basis for experiencing every emotion in the body comes from when gambling. You get excited when you gamble. It's just like doing extreme sports. If you win, your excitement turns into happiness. If you lose, it'll be like a car accident. I wish everyone an accident-free ride :)

You are right OP gambling controls our emotion and if not care we can become addicts due to our incapacity to control our emotions when gambling. When losing you become eager and desperate to recover your lost this leads to more losing.

Winning big makes you happy and you feel like winning more gambles which makes you keep playing before you know it,you might lose all the funds you won. It is good we can control our emotions when gambling by having limits and a certain amount we spend on gambling,stopping at the right time shows how discipline gambler and can also help in controlling your emotion. I have seen a girl that steals to gamble in other to win back her lost this shows she can't control her emotion.

People can't stop gambling when they lose because they want to recover from their losses, so they continue to play without thinking about how much money they have used. You don't have to be like those who continue to play gambling, especially if you have lost a lot, although it seems normal if you want to recover from that loss. And don't make gambling a lifestyle because you don't know how much money you can use, especially if you suffer that loss. This can also trigger you to experience depression due to the defeat, so you cannot think clearly. I don't have any other feelings when I gamble because I only want to enjoy my time by playing gambling.

Most of the gamblers do gamble because they want to feel something. They might be feeling excited when they are chasing their losses and they might feel happy when they win a big jackpot, so in that way, we could conclude that without emotions, it is not gambling anymore but just a game which will not have any meaning for the player anymore.

But for me, the main reason why I gamble every day is to get away from my daily life and all the stress that comes with it. I like to gamble because it makes me feel that I am living in the moment and not thinking about anything else but just focusing on playing. I am not a professional gambler and I have no intention of becoming one in the future, but gambling gives me a lot of fun and pleasure, and I think it's the reason why I keep coming back to it.

Nothing like a roller coaster ride of feeling we become human beings when we feel everything, and this is why gambling attracts us whatever we do here we feel something, whether we lose or win, it gives us something and that something is why we always come back to gamble, in fact, there are people who don't care if they win or lose, they just want the feeling of excitement when they are betting, its the feeling not the results for them.

It's hard not to involve emotions when playing, as well as when betting on sports, many choose a team just because it's their favorite team in fact the team they choose is impossible to win
All the feelings experienced by all players are almost the same, happy when you win, disappointed when you lose and always want to feel that sensation again.
However, chasing victory because you want to cover previous losses is not what players should do, this can lead players to making mistakes when making decisions.
If there is a player who feels depressed because of gambling it may be time to quit from gambling activities in certain time because he could be using the money for important purposes or even from borrowing or become addiction.

I agree with OP. A person experiences a lot of emotions when gambling. This makes it hard to quit gambling. But from this statement we can make a conclusion which will help to quit gambling. If a person will experience a great range of emotions from his other hobby it will help to quit gambling.

It sounds really stressful and completely against some peoples reason for gambling which they say is to relax. I have heard people say they turn to gambling after a stressful day as a way to relax. If truly all this emotions are experienced and attached every time they gamble, that can be stressful to experience and very unhealthy and a danger to someone who is prone to hypertension or depression. I also think if as an individual that gambles and then experience these emotions, and you know they are too much for you to deal with, do yourself a favor and try to quit.  

I do agree. Excitement always makes you come back for more. The joy gambling brings whenever you are winning and the feeling of being triumphant against the house or you predicted it right when it comes to sports gambling.  ;D
I don't feel excited though when I am chasing losses, maybe we have different emotions when in that zone.
It's a mixed feeling of being depressed and eagerness to take back what should've been mine.

No matter how small the gamblers should gamble from the money he will not miss, when he loses he will still feel the loss. Money is the major thing that can mess up our emotions. And that is why we feel happy whenever we have more of it but sad when we are broke. It does not matter how small we place on bet. The mood change is even worse for beginner gamblers who think there is a short to making more.

I totally agree I get all these feelings when gambling after a hard day's work there's nothing like playing for an hour or two you forgot all your problems because you are feeling everything that you're not playing when you are at work, I love it when I am down to my bankroll then afterward I have a good run you feel excited at the same have doubts if you can win back your bankroll, there are many scenarios and it completed your day because you enjoy doing it.

When I started gambling, I feel depressed when I lost and I feel happy when I gain. I was only looking for a means to earn from gambling, but I lost a lot. If gambling is taken for fun, using just small amount of money to play and not going beyond your discipline, you can lose and easily forget without feeling anything, I know this when I do not look for profit anymore. But I can understand you, most gamblers are risking more while gambling, losses then become a depression for them.

@ maydna my view here saying is if a gambler is losing in the bet and all the money he has is gone, what will he do? He most stop. If in the next day he start to gamble again and all his money is lost he will stop and continue that way, a time he will be depressed and will stop. Money is important in gambling because that is the reason money is use to play it and if you don't get money in winning your bet you will not have more money to continue. I know that some of people I know are forced to stop because not profiting from it.

I am with a different perception. I gambled because I do not want to feel depressed and frustrated. I can say that I grow up over the years, and I call myself a responsible gambler now. Usually when I play online and land-based casinos, I already have a fixed budget which I don't care about losing.

I am more into sports betting nowadays. It is more of a challenge for me. I want to prove my own analysis. Here, sometimes I get frustrated but only a little knowing I don't bet big nowadays.

Everyone will definitely be happy whenever they win a big amount, I don't think anybody will feel bad whenever they win, but I don't gamble with much money, so I don't really win much money from gambling, I always win just little amounts.
To be honest I don't feel depressed whenever I lose, I only gamble with small amount of money, so whenever I lose I don't care, I only gamble to relax and have fun, sometimes I know I will lose to gamble but I still take the risk, so if I lose, it won't affect me and i won't feel anything.

You know how its and all we want is successful gambling and to make our winning effective so I don't attached more feelings while gambling reason because if it happens that your winnings didn't go as predicted you might feels depressed or possibly felt sicked due to much expectations hoping for something too higher than what you planned already, we have to do away with any forms of emotional attachment and then gamble for fun.

Of course, I feel the same feeling you feel when playing gambling.
but it may have more of an impact on bad gambling addiction. Feeling upset when you lose, of course, is what all gamblers feel. but I don't feel frustrated and depressed. That's because I always limit the amount of money I can deposit at the casino.
Of course, getting out of the habit of gambling will be quite difficult. but not impossible. many events that can make the habit of gambling also eventually replaced. or gradually reduced.

I don't really agree with you because we have sone professional gamblers and you know what i mean by being professional evennin gambling who don't mind at all either they loose or win and yet continue with gambling, what we should be more concerned with is about those that no matter the circumstance they will still gamble, because it has always been part of them and doing without gambling is inevitable for them to cope with, so our emotions should be directed towards our level of interest in gambling, if we truly can't or can do without gambling by any chance.

We don't feel excited while chasing losses but stressed since the amount of loss actually increases the more we chase the loss.
Yes, we do feel the emotions when we gamble but again that doesn't mean we can't stop gambling.
Emotions are a part of human nature and we can have a control over our emotions as well.
Stopping gambling requires a good control on ourself and our urge to gamble. Although tough but its still possible.

That's true, gamblers have all sorts of feelings, good and bad. Do you find it strange or something? We feel many different emotions at work too, does it prove anything? Some people are excited to go to work, others nervous or depressed... You can make a similar thread about almost any activity.

What do I feel when I gamble? Usually that feeling of uncertainty when you don't know what's coming, some adrenaline when the stakes are high, exhaustion after a session? Probably some other things that I cannot think of right now.

I don't think I ever felt excited when trying to chase my loss. in my early days of crypto gambling, what I remember feeling is being anxious and worried. I was a little paranoid back then and kept overthinking, that's probably why I never felt excited when chasing my loss. that being said, I am not invalidating that some might feel excited when chasing their losses especially if they are winning back what they lost.

I don't really agree since a lot of people can stop gambling at any time despite feeling "all the emotions". also, people who cannot stop gambling because "it completed all our emotions" are gambling addicts.

I literally have a roller coaster ride of emotions when I'm gambling especially when I was a beginner. I used to feel excited and afraid later on. My emotions rise whenever I win and feel depressed when I lost. I just learned how to control my emotions when I noticed that I'm being controlled by how I feel during my gameplay. I realized that too much emotions can result to creating wrong decisions. We can lose our focus and base our next move on how we feel during the game. I learned that it would be better to enjoy while playing than to chase our losses. Complete control and limitations are important so we'll always stay on the right track when gambling.

Oh definitely I would have to agree with your assessment on why we gamble. It is a deep psychological need for the dopamine rush in our brains from taking a risk and getting rewarded for it. Although as with anything that gives you a rush of dopamine, like drugs, its best to watch out not to condition yourself to connecting that feeling of reward with the activity of gambling itself. Otherwise you will become addicted to gambling. And after a enough time you will not be able to stop.

Thats why its best to walk away after losing your designated gambling funds or winning a large amount of money. To wear off that feeling. And once its gone, feel free to gamble again.

All emotions in gambling, yes I feel what you feel but all emotions must be press by ourselves. It is difficult but I believe we can press it, I personally can already press it when lose I must be able to press the desire to play again, also when win must be able to hold chasing another win because is a disaster. So we can stop anytime, but for addicts this is not an easy these emotions can't be controlled. Between agreeing and not because some people can control their emotions and some others can't.

In my opinion most gamblers gamble for the sake of emotions such as pleasure, joy, elation, jubilation, self-confidence and pride, and they are all somehow related to the production of a substance called dopamine in our body. The same substance is produced when a person uses drugs. It's a kind of reward system for our body, which is why we like to gamble so much.

It is very difficult for a person who has a gambling addiction to stop getting dopamine because he cannot get it in any other way that is not harmful to his health.

Basically yes, it's all about in our emotions not only the urge for gambling, but with all the things that gets you excited to do.
Most gamblers gets excited for big wins, good odds, and gambling promotions. But most of the time, a gambler is excited to win big and hoping to get lucky. It's the fun/leisure and the opportunity to make money is the thing that's fueling every gambler and that somewhat connected to your emotions when you get excited.

Without emotion, you and I would feel nothing. we will not feel, sensation. happy, sad, chasing defeat, very excited when getting a win, or whatever. So, it's normal when you experience, feel all emotions while doing a gambling session.
I think this is something that happens to everyone, including myself. however, I don't agree that that's the reason we can't stop gambling. because, emotions surround anything that concerns our lives.

I can stop gambling, if the free time I have is over. whether it was because of the work I had to do, or quitting because I lost a gambling session. apparently, gambling has become our style of entertainment here. you have to learn to deal with your emotions, you have to try to change your own mindset if you are always controlled by emotions, especially when you experience a big loss. I like to gamble, especially football betting. however, I must be responsible for managing my finances well and allocating a budget for a hobby that I enjoy, in this case gambling.

Gambling is for entertainment and should really be sticking into that but since we are just humans and we do really value up money soo much, then it would really be just normal that we would really be having these kind

of common reaction when it comes to this matter.Some do really love the thrill and excitement but in most cases where frustrations and stress would be mainly be experienced and this is why you should really be not

doing this.It would really be removing the real essence of gambling that should be on entertaining on the first place but since people do end up on different perception and views or beliefs
then this is where things do change up.

To my very own understanding, these feelings are natural, and a person don't have to be a gambler to have all these mixed feelings, as they are normal in our daily interaction. But the truth is, one can't stop gambling simply because he/she is bound to experience any of the above mentioned emotions, because in as much as the unforeseen circumstances Is bound to occur, our emotions can be controlled to a certain level by putting some factors into consideration. That is,
1. Not gambling with all your money with the sole aim you will win, so that if unfortunately you happens to lose, you won't go into depressions.
2. Not making gambling your only source of income, so you could feel happy even the days you don't gamble.
3. Only gambling with an amount you can afford to lose

Exactly mate. Gambling enables you to feel different emotions whether you lose or win in a game. But it will be better if we learn to avoid being depressed because that will always lead to gambling addiction which will only ruin our life later on. I believe we can always do that by controlling our emotions and never gamble more than we can afford to lose. That way, even if we experience losses, we will not be so much affected about it.

Gambling is a source of a lot of emotions because you can always experience being happy and sad, hopeful and depressed even in just a day in gambling. Which I think if we keep being exposed to it, we will learn to overcome a lot of emotions as long as we also learn from our gambling experiences. However, this is not the case for some of us because they tend to abuse their emotions and end up in gambling addiction. The reason why if you can’t control and hold your emotions, it’s better not to gamble anymore.

I agree that gambling let us experience a roller coaster of emotions knowing that most of the gambling games are based on chance and luck. So it’s hard for us to keep on winning and enjoy the game. However, I believe if we also keep on getting more depressed and frustrated every time we gamble, that is not a good sign anymore. It’s either we should take a break first from gambling or we should start controlling our funds so that if we end up losing, we will never be depressed about it.

Of course, gambling is still a choice, so if it’s not making us profitable and fun anymore, then it’s better to quit from gambling while our losses are not that huge and while we are not yet completely broken in gambling. But I always believe quitting from gambling is not that easy especially if you are giving yourself more time to gamble and you lived on it already. So don’t do it suddenly, just control and minimize your time in gambling so that if you decide to quit, it will never be that hard. Negative emotions can always be controlled and stopped, as long as we also want it too.

But my question now is, why when we loose huge amount of money in a game or a game didnt turn out as we predicted, we feel sad and sometimes depressed?
Are we supposed to feel alright at all time if indeed gambling was all about having fun, or is feeling sad and depressed part of the fun?

Simple lesson from here is that, Many who claim to be gambling for fun arent being truthful to themselves as well as to the public, majority who gamble do it for the sole purpose of winning more money, and not actually for fun as they claim, that is why the sad and depressed feeling anytime money is lost on gambling or betting.

Emotions will always be there, its part of human nature and it gambling it’s hard to resist on that but whatever your excuses are, you have to do your best not to gamble with too much emotion and stay within your limits.

Many gamblers forget to learn on how to control their emotion, they gamble without even thinking the possible scenario if they didn’t pay attention with their emotion. Many gamblers already lose a lot of money because of this, and for me the only way to succeed is to control your emotion and make it as your priority.

We are indeed human which does have emotions and just been said that its normal to have these kind of reactions considering that we do value money that much which means we dont really like for it to lose.

On the time that you had made out some consecutive or huge losses then it would really be just normal that you would really be having these kind of reactions.You would really be that impulsive
and wont really like for you to lose money and further actions will really be basing up depending on your emotion.

When you are in rage and desperation you would really be certainly be ending up on doing gambling even more.

Everyone must have emotion, but don't be out of control.
When you can't control your emotion during you gamble or play gambling games, you are better to stop. Emotions will kill you, you only waste money and don't get anything from gambling. To gamble in the correct way, you need to have good self-control, which means knowing how to deal with your emotion. So, you can enjoy the games and are aware of your limit to play. If you can't control your emotions, you may end up losing all your money and get stressed because of the losses.

I disagree, not all people can't resist gambling because of the complete package of emotions it brings.  Others with high self-control can easily ditch gambling if they decided to quit.  About the other feelings, what else to add when you already stated "completed all our emotions"


It is simple because you are disappointed.


No, it is normal to be depressed, confused, have anxiety if thing doesn't go as we expected.  Even playing PlayStation game can make you depressed when you are unable to beat a certain level after a long period of grinding.


Winning money is another means of playing for fun... so I do not think that they are lying there.

If a person feels depressed every time they lose, that's alarming and they really need some big help. Depressed is not a joke or maybe you just used the wrong term there, am I right? Instead, maybe we can use the word "stress" although still considered an alarming emotion, somehow it can be managed.

Emotions are always triggered while gambling. It's impossible to take away that emotion as it was human nature.

There's no need to stop gambling but rather take those emotions responsibly.

That's what makes gambling so addictive because you can feel all your emotions here, we love our adrenaline pumping out of excitement, and we feel our lowest emotions here, that is why go back over and over here, and for people, this is an escape to their reality, if they are in a bad situation it's their escape and their chance to win the jackpot, so gamblers are hoping to experience all feeling and at the same time hoping to win the jackpot.

People naturally love to have pleasant emotions when they are winning at gambling. But sooner or later you will normally lose. And you have to deal with that. We all want to feel the eternal feeling of the euphoria. I think that as a gambler you have to experience that before you know what something like that feels like. It is impossible not to feel the thrill of adrenaline when you are gambling. Or you should play with very low limits, then it will be a different story of course. If you feel the emotions of winning at gambling, the adrenaline may keep you playing for hours on end and little sleep.

And that is the thrill, the adrenaline rushing into our bodies, but in the beginning of my gambling journey, like when I play slots, I don't have this feeling, I mean I just try not to show my emotions if I hit the bonus or win big. But later on, when I grow older and playing it, well it's very different, every win that I got I have this excitement within me, hehehe. Not sure what it is, maybe I just try to enjoy now unlike before wherein i wanted to win big and chase big bonuses.


Yes, it's really hard to stop gambling when we have this sensation and feeling good. Not only in winning, but also in losing, our body respond the same.


https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160721-the-buzz-that-keeps-people-gambling

If anyone feels depressed about every loss in gambling then it means something is seriously wrong with that person's approach towards gambling.
It has been taught many times that we should only gamble with extra funds or with the funds we can afford to lose as gambling is highly risky. When you will be using your extra funds on gambling, the loss in gambling should not make you depressed. If you are getting sad about every loss, you are playing with your money which is not an extra amount. You should re-evaluate your funds and stop playing gambling if those funds are for your day to day needs.

Dude C'monnnn, why should you gamble with your emotions? Do you feel exited when your heart keeps throbbing and you'll be panting like a wonded lion, just so your game would click the bait and spray you some fine coins? Emotions are strong and could sometimes control a person so I don't see why you should toil with 'em.

No....
What thrives every gambler is GREED, period. They've lost severally and, seeing others winning (if it's in a casino house) or having a knowledge that peeps win alot in that same game(online), they'll still sink in money to see if they'll recover, but even when it shows 'em some love, given them back what they spent, they'll need some more huge funds for the late nighty dinner party.....lol heyyo folks, that's someone's investment, they'll kill that shit for safety.

There is no gambling without emotion. We are not robots and almost all our gambling experience does have an associated emotion.

It now depends on how a person will control their emotion and not fall into the worst situation because they can't handle something.

If losing gives people a heavy toll on their emotions, no choice but to force their selves to minimize their gambling activity or push to stop gambling for good.

My gambling life is planned and very organized, that is why I might not feel the way you just mentioned. Gambling for entertainment and using just a little part of your income might shield you from anxiety and fears during gambling. Although sometimes you experience some of these feeling but, it it reduced to a large extent when your motivation for gambling is not for money making but just for the love of the game and pleasure.

When you cannot stop gambling based on your emotions, it means that you are gradually becoming addicted to gambling which might be counter productive or a harmful. I think one should start seeking for help when his emotion becomes a motivator in gambling.

Initially, I was about to disagree but when you try to view it the other way around then it starts to make some sense as a lot of gamblers play for fun and enjoyment. When it comes to the other emotions I probably have to disagree and those would just be a bonus because as much as possible you don't want to get swept up with the feeling of depression and frustration whenever you lose.

I feel like emotional gambling could be a mistake, if we play with the emotions and not with the brain, the we will lose it all most of the times because in some point we don't chase the win for the money or the profits, we chase a win to feel good with ourselves and if the win never comes we will be frustrated and broke.

But emotions is what makes the game interesting. If a game doesn't make us fell anything, then it's a bad game.

I think people who feel emotions this strongly when they gamble should probably take a second look at the gambling they are doing and perhaps they should stop entirely. I personally never get all that emotional when it comes to gambling and if I did I feel like that would signal to me that I should probably stop.

Just don’t think it’s very healthy if it overcomes you.

I don't. I would stop because it would completely drain my bank account.

I would say I cannot stop watching sports because of the excitement or thrill.

I don't know what to "feel" about this thread hehe. I can only imagine what emotional bettors Do when watching an intense match. They are probably one of those people who smash their TV screen or other device when extremely disappointed with the result.

Emotion is I think different from addiction, it is more of a drive. People or players to be more specific, are having a hard time to quit or dtop gambling because they are addicted into it. Whether it is frustration, regret, joy, or anger; once you are dragged of continuous playing, you'll have difficulties stopping that behavior. Emotions are just contributors of addiction and this is simply the danger of gambling we should all be aware of. And to those new players out there, set limits or know your limits first before engaging to this activity. A loss would be temporary but the time you have spent; lacking attention to more important things, will be permanent.
That is already a feeling; excitement and enjoyment. But what is being talked about here us something deeper than that. It is a battle between what you feel when you are playing and what keeps or pushes you to play.

Feelings are what gambling appeals to. It is the feeling of being entertained with the prospect of winning that many actually gamble. If you are bored, you can also go to the casino and feel the fun. When you lose, you'll have this strong feeling of getting back, of taking revenge against the casino. This is exactly how the casinos would want their clients, to be emotional, to have intense feelings. The effect of casinos to their players is mostly psychological. 

I agree that almost everything that we can feel as human beings can be experienced by playing in a casino, often even playing with our imagination when we hit a big sum and become an instant millionaire this is what we will do, etc.

And as for your question about whether gambling can be stopped, of course, my answer to this is a big "YES", that's why other fellow gamblers in this industry say that we need to accompany gambling with self-control and discipline of gambling, it's like when you know you've won your game, you stop and play again another day, it's that simple.

Gambling is game of emotions but you can succeed only if you can control them as you see they disturb the normal functioning of your body which can be bad in some conditions like when you are sad or angry it can affect your health.We have seen many gamblers taking loss seriously and going into depression mode which is not at all good and can have various effects over your mind as well.So always be in control with your emotional play.

One of my major challenge is how to control my emotions in my bid to chasing losses by defying my main strategy while gambling unfortunately ended up losing all my funds, this had been reoccurring on numerous occasions, though I do gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose, once in a while I do get frustrated and thinking of quitting completely, however I discovered that on many occasions the losses are my personal mistakes, after I incurred losses I came back to my senses and refund my account again and the cycle continues, now I have decided to take a break to work on my emotional imbalance to gambling.

But we should be able to suppress feelings of wanting revenge against the casino because it only makes us suffer more, especially when we spend more money and suddenly you lose. Try to cheer yourself up when you lose and not be too sad because you should already know what the risks of playing gambling are. If you can do that, you will be able to get rid of the negative feelings that will arise if you experience defeat. At least the feeling won't be great because you already know that gambling can give you both wins and losses.

We must be able to control our emotions that arise when we win or lose. But we do not immediately learn this ability to control. We need to be able to rein in this emotion that arises during gambling. We should know that our goal is to win, but losing is also a possibility. We must act accordingly. As a matter of fact, all these show the necessity of having a strong psychology.

I really confess that I don't have those many emotions that the op is trying to say, when I place bets I put it in my head that the money I'm betting is lost money, if I win then I celebrate and take the profit to bet on the next one I play, but when I lose then I accept the defeat, but there are times when I make a bet for failure and I get angry with my decision, but it's not something I can consider exaggerated because I don't get angry for more than 5 minutes. That's because as I said, I take the game as fun, and I'm ready to accept defeat.


something I've been noticing over the last few years in my country, people who have taken money to buy lottery tickets in my country whenever the lottery results come out and people who played look at the tv and realize they won't win, they get sad and depressed. at first I even thought it was a passing thing but then I started to realize that this subject is more serious than I imagined, but people need to learn to deal with it. you shouldn't have high expectations because lottery is a game that depends on luck, I haven't seen it happen with casino games and sports betting, it may happen but I haven't seen it personally

We can not stop gambling because there is that rush feeling that we are experiencing and we think we can win. If we did not achieve it (the win) that is going to be the time that we will stop playing gambling.

I can't think of any other feelings that is found when we play gambling because you already gave it all. Even without playing a gambling, there will be a person which are moody where they can also experience all of the emotions within a short period of time. When they play gambling, they can worsen this condition. Right now, I am not addicted to gambling anymore and I only play for fun so I don't have bad feelings even if I lose my money.

It would really be a mix of emotions on which when you do gamble then you would be feeling having that excitement,thrill,frustration,rage,upset and other possible that you could encounter
which is really very normal.Even if someone do says that they do really play game for fun but cant really be denied that we do really give out importance on our funds or money on which
we would really be that mindful on how we should gonna bet and each outcome or results would really be giving out that kind of feeling or emotion whether its a winning or losing moment.
Some do really get used to it since they do able to accept the risk when playing gambling.Losing is normal but as long you do enjoy the game then it wont really be that much
of a serious matter.

In my opinion, in every person who plays gambling, of course there will be something called emotion, which makes you annoyed or curious about the game you are playing in gambling, because it is all city games that want to make you emotional and curious, if that happens then you will continue to be provoked to make bigger bets, and in the end it is a trap for you from what the bookie does to you, so that you bet continuously to gamble, that's probably my thought..

Everyone "knows" that they should stop and not gamble instead of chasing the loss, that’s a common thing and should be known by everyone of course.

However, not everyone really realizes how big we are talking about those emotions could get, and that’s the problem. I am not saying that everyone will fail and just keep on gambling and losing, of course not everyone will do that, but some people will definitely have harder time compared to other people and that’s normal because not everyone is equal mentally. I would be easily stopping, I limit myself and that’s normal but to become like this I had to educate myself very much and not everyone can do it, which is the trouble.

It is not easy to control our emotions, especially when we win because we will feel the urge to continue playing gambling or because we want to get more money from the next win. That's why we have to learn to control our emotions when we lose or win so that we don't get caught up in our own emotions and don't experience more defeats. Maybe our goal is to win, but we should also be able to see how big our chances are of winning in the next round by seeing how many defeats we have experienced.

Indeed it is a common thing but most people will try to recover from losses by gambling more because they think that by playing longer, it can give them a chance to win. But the truth is that many people fail and don't realize that they have lost a lot. If we can easily stop, it will help us avoid losing a lot and control our emotions well. How hard we try to control ourselves will help us limit ourselves to gambling.

We indeed feel various emotions when we take risks in general. It's normal to feel many emotions all at once or even sudden change of emotion especially if the situation you are into quickly turns into something unexpected. Winning a bet can give a person the feeling of satisfaction, enjoyment, and fleeting feeling that as if you are on a cloud-9. However, the moment you lose, all of those happy feelings will fade away and turn into melancholy. We are humans, it's perfectly normal to have those emotions varying in scenarios we are in.

But for me, this isn't enough to justify that someone must not quit gambling or even do moderate and responsible gambling just because he feels all these emotions to make him alive. It's still a matter of discipline. Emotions are part of a human nature. Using it as an excuse just to justify your bad gambling habits because you feel like you exist and you feel high is just so wrong on so many levels. We should still be able to analyze and recognize every situation we are in. We should know when to continue and when to stop. We should control our emotions and not the other way around.

Either a positive emotion or a negative emotion, it will always be there because we gamble to have fun and to make some money as well.
The case in gambling, you might feel different emotion as you gamble since it's not always positive, losing are more possible to happen. Emotion can take you to many places, so always look for the bright side and commit with your strategy and limit, don't over budget and gamble because of your too much emotion, self-control is still advisable at any situation, forget that emotion when you are already losing to avoid any risk and losses.

I agree that we feel emotions when gambling but feeling depressed is one thing that have to be watched, the moment you start feeling depressed I will highly recommend you stop gambling immediately because it can drastically affect ones mental health negatively.
One thing I try not to do is to gamble with my emotions but rather gamble for fun.
And I always get to advise people to use the money you can afford to lose because most times even when we try not to get addicted to gambling, we later find out that it gets out of our control because most times we want to recover our loses and do everything possible to do so, making us indulge in revenge gambling and  at times ends with a negative result and situations like that leads to depression, especially when we gamble with money we can't afford to lose.

There was a day I had mixed feelings and emotions during football match because of gambling. In every match i always support opposition small club to beat big clubs. That gives me joy to a very large extent. One day I placed a bet that big team wins small team, but during the match, I forgot that I placed a bet and I was seriously supporting the small team to beat the big team, not until I realised that I had a running bet and immediately changed my mood and emotions to support a club I didn't want to support  ;D

Emotions are the part of the life. Not even in gambling its matter in your whole life. Like if you become father your emotions will be in happiness mood.
And if there will be anyone died in your family. Your emotions come out in the shape of tears.
In gambling sadness, happiness are common.

But these should be controlled otherwise they will destroy you.

Gambling is very interesting because it is addictive, as you have said there are many feelings that arise when we gamble, whether it is feelings of happiness, anger, or focus. when we win there are a lot of happy feelings, are created and it's like creating a dopamine effect in the mind (and self-control is very important because it's addictive). When my busy life stresses me out, there are 3 things I do, it's playing the piano, watching Korean/Chinese dramas, or playing slots.

What is certain is that we gamble for fun, and if we can make money, it will be a bonus to enjoy the results of these wins. But don't forget that loss may come more often than victory, so we must control our emotions to reduce the number of defeats. By doing that, we can get pleasure from gambling, and maybe we can also benefit from gambling. And yes, remember to set a limit for the amount of money you use to gamble because it's important to minimize the number of losses that can occur at any time.

Totally agree with your opinion, it's true that we will definitely be faced with all emotions when gambling.
We also have to be able to control ourselves so as not to be consumed by the negative side of gambling.
Maybe only a few people are wise in gambling and can control themselves.
Sometimes most people in the end cannot control themselves when gambling because they hope to win big.
There have been many cases that prove that when they gamble, they will sink into their addiction and will always end up causing problems.

It is important that when people gamble they keep their emotions in check, without a doubt gambling can be a very exciting activity especially when you are having a good day and you are winning a lot of money, but stories of people being ahead and then losing everything on the same night are as old as casinos themselves, and if that were to happen to you then your emotions will make a full swing from being extremely happy to extremely sad and this is something that is too much for people to take and it could be the beginning of a gambling addiction if you are not careful.

And when we lose, that's making us more emotional because we think that we're near the time that we should be able to win those losses back again.
All the emotions are there and it can't be stopped when we're too active and feeling bad. That's why don't make decisions when we're too emotional because you'll never know what can happen with that decision when you're not feeling good.

OP you absolutely right gambling covers all emotional feelings from that tingling feeling when you have actually won to the anxiousness of your bet about to be won that exhilirating feeling of actually seeing your game scale through the storm.

It offer also that  frustrating feeling of wanting to win but just can't actually get your hands around it

The bitter feeling of loss and wanting to recover from that loss

Gambling is just something else

Funny thing is our emotions and not logic is responsible for most of our gambling behaviours and addictions. It plays a huge role. To be able to control our gambling, we need to understand the other factors involved. In my estimation, I believe that experienced gamblers do not have a depressive feelings when they lose because for them "you win some and you lose some".

I could remember when I started gambling, it was a big emotion for me whenever I have big expectations on a particular game and I finally lose the bet. I always feel so attached to my games and when I finally make winnings, I do over rejoice because I always expect to make winnings Everytime I play bets. I was later that I decided to reduce the rate of emotion I put on bets so that I will not be too affected when I make loses. It took me sometimes before I could work on myself and fixed those emotions in their right places.

When you do already have the good control of your emotion then it would be getting in line with your mindset which you could able to control on what actions you should make.
On the time that you had sufficient experience and awareness on how gambling should be handled on then you wont really be making yourself get that addicted to it too much.
Speaking about emotion then we do really have lots of mixed emotion on the time we do gamble not only that thrill and anger but also happiness and joy specially
when we do win up certain bets.This is where some people been looking for is on that they do really been entertained.

Yes, I agree it has to do with those feelings but from the scientific point of view those feelings are a consequence of what actually makes people to stick to casinos.
There are several studies which address the chemical of the brain and the risk-reward mechanisms that occur, which are the ones that trigger those feelings and the possibility of addiction to gambling.

I keep emotions to a minimum, I guess that's why I don't get carried away or lose large amounts of chasing losses. I understand however that emotions play an important role according to what we can see in several threads on the forum: people who went over budget and ended up losing too much by chasing losses, or who after winning a jackpot continued betting to end up losing everything and more.

Anyone who has problems controlling their emotions and tends to get carried away by them should be very careful with gambling.

The strange thing is that before gambling we know that emotion can destroy our game and money. Also we read often how emotions in gambling can make you lose and we are confident that other gamblers can't control their emotions while we will have no issues.

But as soon as we started to gamble, we do not realize the emotion overcomes us and due to that, we may spend more money on gambling, on losing we try to cover the losses, and on winning we become greedy and keep on playing. All of these things are because we are unable to control our emotions just like ordinary gambler.

In gambling management, when one wins, the hope of winning more is awakened in him. He is very excited. But again when he loses, the frustration works in him. I think this is a normal process. A gambler starts dreaming after he starts gambling and he tries to quickly get the success. A gambler cannot always win. He must have the patience other wise he cannot indulge in gambling life. Another important thing is that if he conducts gambling in a controlled manner, he can enjoy long-term success.

What is certain is that when he wins, he can become greedy and want more wins. And even though that is normal, at least he should be able to find out if he can win more or decide to stop and take his winnings and withdraw the winnings to enjoy. This depended on how he could bring himself not to experience excessive greed and think that what he got was more than enough. It would be better for him because he can already win some money that not many people can get.

There were days I won and very happy. There were days I won at first but I continue to gamble and I lost all, good first but bad at final. There were times I lost and filled with depression and mood swing. That is gambling. No one that is looking for money in one way or he other in gambling that will not experience all these good and bad emotions. Even if I lose little, no depression but I will not be that happy.

Many people are wise in gambling, few got addicted, some play with low amount of money.

I completely agree with everything you said. but chasing losses isn't very good for me.
because unknowingly playing gambling gets defeat and emotions when we try to chase defeat with the hope of winning big and in the end we actually lose more money to chase that defeat. after that, if something like that is done continuously it will cause frustration mixed with uncontrollable emotions that can make people become depressed just because they chase defeat in gambling.


the feeling that I felt when I gambled and when I lost I was never emotional or angry to chase defeat, but on the contrary when I lost I felt happy when I learned that the team I chose had weaknesses that I would not bet on again in the future

This is a natural process with humans that we experience emotions during games like gambling this makes you happy, excited when you win,sad frustrated and depressed when you loose , angry and anxious too when you are waiting. Soo that's normal that when you are too much mentally involved in any activity in engages all your senses and emotions to that particular thing.

You're right, gambling let the users to all kind of emotions a person can feel and it can be a reason for people to keep engaged with gambling but these are secondary cause money matters more than anything which is the strong reason for people to gamble and many to get addicted. Gambling is fun until they are in their limits but it can end up someone's financial and mental health when addiction took over the urge.

Because gambling can give rise to false hopes of winning, so they will keep doing it until they finally get what they want and after getting it emotions come into play as they will try to repeat it and subconsciously lose more than they win.
and gambling is designed to play with people's emotions, happy emotions when they win and sad emotions when they lose, this emotion game is what makes people addicted.
because of a person's inability to control his mind so that his own mind encourages him to continue playing it with the aim of feeling emotional game stimulation.
and it mostly happens to the gambler who wants to earn a lot of money and also chase their losses which actually only makes him suffer more because he plays blindly with emotions that he can't control himself.
In contrast to playing just for fun, most of them limit their time and capital to play and only rely on luck.

What Op said is purely something that is often experienced by gamblers. Be it winning or losing, someone is always hit with emotional feelings because if someone wins with multiples that are not too big, of course he will experience a level of emotional frustration to raise the bet and in the end he will lose. and that emotional level can't be shaken off by gamblers bodies. I had several big winning rates in slot gambling but due to high emotional levels that I couldn't control I ended up suffering bigger losses as a result of chasing a bigger multiplier.

that is the most difficult thing to apply to ourselves when we gamble there is always luck and that is the hope that comes. but on the one hand I think slot games are games that can quickly trigger a high emotional level because when you buy fs or get fs for free but at that time the multiplication doesn't match your expectations so that's where you will quickly lose control to do  the next round and if you play the multiplication mathematical system to increase the bet then you will quickly lose. besides the level of emotion that must be removed, we also need a calmer mind when playing gambling.

if we realize that the casino will not let you bring a lot of money there, so understand that playing wisely will save us because no one wins big against casino machines except those who have large capital, I have also experienced the same thing only it's just that now I focus more on playing for fun so I don't get too emotional when I lose so keep playing wisely and consistently don't have to win big just a little is enough

I have the opposite in this regard, I am too rational to allow big expenses, and perhaps for the same reason I did not have big winnings. I try to foresee the consequences of my actions in order to prevent any adverse outcomes for me. I may not be a risk-taker, but I'm so comfortable when I can control everything about me.

IMO, it's not everyone that feels all this ...just something that negates the mindset,-- that loosing is a criteria in gaming. Some peeps don't even feel anything; you know Why? They don't even hope to win, it's that simple....so if you aren't hoping to win, how then do you get bothered?
Mind you; some peeps gamble - not just to win cash but it's sometimes -- recreational ( this is something a gambler affirmed and I don't think that's fabricated). You seeee, when you have enough to spare, and you stake this games heavily, you won't even feel 'em cus even if you loose, it doesn't affect your worth - per say... Just imagine using your last cash to stack a game? You'll understand why you become nervous every single time .

I agree that everytime we gamble, there's always a feeling of that mixed emotions that we suddenly feel especially if we are in the height of our respective bets. But i don't see it reasonable that we can't stop gambling just because of that. I strongly believe that we can easily leave gambling as long as we are determined to do it. Leaving gambling is always a choice, just like staying into gambling and become addicted to it is also our choice.

You've got to keep that attitude towards gambling because when you know and understands that you can control yourself, you're at the right mindset and attitude for which is no longer with the others when they gamble.

They lose the control when they're too invested when they gamble. You may not have big winnings because you're not the type who bets a lot but, that's okay because you can also try to bet with the minimum amount and try to hit the jackpot.

Since you're in control, you can do that whenever you want to.

I understand what you say, because I think like you. For me to be under constant risk isn't synonym of excitment and euphoria, rather it's synonym of fear and unstability. I like to know where I'm stepping and I like to feel the solid ground under my feet. When I am at a solid ground making progress along the time, I feel that excitment gamblers are talking about when they are under high pressure of winning big during a betting session (or losing it all). Each of us have our own particular ways to feel determined emotions.

But at times, the way we handle our emotions matters a lot, because it's not just all about feeling it, but been able not to allow your emotions make you cause harm to either yourself or those around you. Because I have seen a situation whereby a man gambled with all his life savings, and when he eventually found out he lost the game, went and committed suicide and died, living his poor wife a widow with kids to take care of (I.e responsibilities).
So in the notch shell, our ability not to allow one mistake made during gambling to affect our life matters a lot

You are right, we must have emotional control in gambling and limit the number of bets in gambling so that we never lose anything else except just the amount of money we allocate for gambling, I am very concerned to read your statement above if that ever happens in the real world and I can't imagine how the life of his wife and children would be without leaving anything for their future.

Normal to get caught up by our emotion since there are some situation which is uncontrollable especially when we are caught off guard and want to chase back the losses we got. Most of newbies encounter this and sometimes its hard to follow what we set up because if we are in the game sometimes we forget about our game plan and continue the game because we still enjoy playing.

When a person is adapted to gambling, emotional control is always difficult, and he/she will always want to win even if he/she loses, they will always have hope of winning one day, which is why some gamblers who became addicted to bets can never live gambling even though they know it is not right but their emotions will still push them to gamble, which is not good. The best thing to do is to start by controlling your emotions.

This is a common scenario in gambling whereas a gambler tends to be more dependent on their emotion rather than thinking and sticking with their plan and strategy which end up losing all of their bankrolls. This should not be normalized, and we must inform those around us to get a hold of their emotion during their gambling sessions. Oftentimes, we get caught up in our excitement whenever we are on our winning streak, or we feel that all of our luck is there, and we want to maximize it however we must also assess each of our situations especially when we start losing.

When we play gambling we all think that we hope to get the jackpot or win or we may also think that we are lucky today. But usually what happens is that in gambling we always lose, at the beginning we can accept that we are losing, but when we notice that our loss is big, that's where our negative emotions come in, sometimes mixed with nervousness.

So when we gamble, us gamblers need to know how to apply self-control because if we don't have it, losing a large amount often gives us stress or depression in the end.

It is also very important for me to understand that I have some kind of profit, at least not significant, this will stimulate me, but if I see that this does not bring me anything other than losing money, then I will quickly lose interest in this. Big losses are very bad, but even if now they are small losses, it is already worth thinking about, because this is where it all starts.

This is why we must never allow our losses to go out of control and become too big to the point we cannot handle them, if this happens then controlling our emotions will be very hard as we will be so sad or mad about our losses that we may try to recover all of that money lost in a single bet, and sometimes people get lucky and recover their money, but most of the time the opposite is what happens and if the losses were already unbearable then they become many times worse in a span of just a few seconds.

When your motive is to make or win money with gambling and on the time that you do make some huge loss, then it cant really be that something new or surprising that you would really be ending up on becoming

impulsive on which you would definitely be doing sort of things which shouldn't really be done on the first place.Speaking of different emotions then we could definitely experience these things which we are happy

when we do win, and get frustrated when we do lost.Important to mind off that you should really make yourself that having acceptance on whatever situation you might faced on.
If you do gamble then prepare out yourself for these emotion swings that you might encounter along the way.

It is not just only in gamble,  even in business when their is lose you don't expect someone to be happy  about  losing money. But it comes about gambling we need to make up our mind that it's all about gain and lose, so if their is lose it shouldn't been seen as a big deal, it is a thing of two things.

Why feels depressed when you know that you made decisions to risk money, you were willing to let go to make some. I don't see why a serious gambler feels frustrated when you do something yourself, the decision was yours and the consequences should be yours to bear alone both in profit and loss.

Emotion is a part of man and they get triggered when something happens to a man, It could be that you are happy or sad, there is no man who doesnt get emotions when money is involved, you can control it because they are what gives us response to gambling as a stimulus if we are profiting or losing money but one shouldn't allow the mind get overcrowd by emotions because when that happens, you begin to make wrong decisions.

Emotion is always in the mind of a gambler but that doesn't mean that we can't stop gambling. I am strongly disagreeing with you. Even though one is motivated with a huge win in a gambling he can still stop gambling. In my opinion, why people can't stop gambling is that their mind is always on the winning site not at the losing site. So in that case their using all means to play the game and win, and that can lead to gambling addiction.

People can stop gambling if the really want to.

That is why some people prefer gambling this is their so-called therapy outside their office, I read people feel good after they do mahjong or card games or play in online casinos and just the rush after watching horse racing, there's something in gambling that if done in moderation you will feel good about it, it will fall into an entertainment category if you do it moderation, moderation is the key.

People who consider it to be therapy is very minimal. People who get into addiction is the majority. Having control over the emotions in all means is a must. Even the person who consider it as refreshing could get into addiction out of the unexpected wins experienced.

I think becoming a gambling addict is not the point but the ability of the person to still become responsible despite being a gambling addict.

There are lots of professional gambling players that are obviously, so much addicted to gambling but look at them, still doing better outside their gambling life.

It's hard for others to still keep being disciplined and responsible gamblers but with the right approach, everything should be good.

A person that is addicted to something can still be a good person. However, that person must undergo certain treatment in order to fully recover and regain his overall well-being.

Being a gambling addict can affect your life in so many ways. If you are addicted in gambling and has no self-control overall speaking, then most likely your life will be ruined by your bad habits. If one of those bad habits is borrowing money, doing illegal activities just to earn money to sustain your gambling needs, and other negative things that's related with it, most likely you'll just end up sabotaging your growth. However, if you just so happens to be dependent on it but has the means to actually control your urges, then you're not a hopeless case.

Proper diagnosis, intervention, and treatment are all they need to regain their whole life back. Because if you are addicted, whether you like it or not, there are really certain aspects of your life that will be impacted by it. If you can prevent and minimize it, the better it is for you.

It doesn't mean that if you are an addict in gambling you can be responsible in the real life. What it means to be responsible in gambling is to be able to have self control and not playing gambling excessively. You can be responsible in the real have but still irresponsible when it comes to gambling.

It depends. If you can't stop because of happiness and excitement everytime you're playing then that's understandable since you feel satisfied and entertained. However if gambling is causing you depression yet you still keep on playing in spite of this, it's likely you have a gambling problem already. Because why do you keep playing if it is not healthy for your mental health? A gambler who's having a hard time controlling himself can't stop regardless of what he feel when he gamble. It's not only about the emotions, but the kind of gambler you are when you're playing and how you handle the situation.

Emotions play an important role in determining the way we think and behave to make decisions and act. When it comes to gambling, emotions will always be involved without us realizing it and play a role in every action and decision we make.

So like you said, it's natural that we get caught up in every situation that involves emotions. whether it's when you get a win, jackpot, it's hard to stop the game or even we tend to follow our emotional desire to continue the gambling side despite the fact that we are experiencing big losses. and this can happen to all of us, even though we basically have very good self-control. sometimes, there are times when emotions will dominate and control us in certain situations.

Emotions too, which make us enjoy every betting session and emotions also give us an extraordinary sensation when we get a big win.

Unfortunately, one of the most important things that we need to control most is our emotion when gambling as it tends to divert our decision from logic. Emotion may be hard to control especially when the situation requires us such as winning continuously however, we must keep our composure and let logic dictate whether we continue or stop gambling as it is where our winnings will depend on whether we win some or lose all of it.

Anyways, I'm not saying that we should not have emotion but rather we must control it and let logic decide our move until our gambling session end.

This is a very bad condition. The main reason that can make a gambler have a bad psychology is lose. Many of those who have lost in gambling continue to try to win with the excuse of wanting to return the losses. Play continuously until they forget that too much money has been spent so their emotions and mentality isn't healty anymore. When he feels he can win and this feeling cannot be changed, maybe the worst will be happens to him. and it will be possible for him to do various ways to gamble and in the end commit a crimes activity. There are many cases that can be used as examples. How good people then become thieves just because they are wants to gamble again. This is the result of excessive desire to play without controlling emotions, playing management and money management.

Same when we play video games. We also feel entertained, that is why it is hard to stop but too much of it is not healthy anymore because we can forget to eat, sleep and do our other responsibilities in life. It's weird if we say that we continue gambling just because we are feeling depressed because depression is not a good thing.

When someone is depressed they feel like giving up already, so we are supposed to feel the opposite thing which is we will quit on playing a gambling. Emotion does really matter in gambling. It can help you decide if you will stay or not. Only those who are robot's are the one who don't have an emotion.

Everything should be in control but since we are just humans then it would really be normal that we would really be that emotional or potentially couldnt really be able to control it on some conditions.
Its true that why would be proceeding or playing further more if you do find yourself getting stressed already or being too impulsive?
Speaking about emotion then it would really be a roller coaster ride.Gambling should be fun but we know that losing isnt really something that could be avoided.
Therefore, you should really make yourself prepared on the time you've been dealing with gambling.

emotion is very good for the decisions making that we will do in the future, without emotion, people will play without knowing the time duration and how much capital they have spent. I've never heard of a human being without emotions, I just imagine how boring someone without emotions would be LoL.

Well yes but that's why we do everything that's fun. To feel!

And more we feel, more alive we feel.

But feeding that hungry brain with instant gradification with this sort supernormal stimululus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus) that hijacks your brain convincing that this must be super important. No matter if it's console gaming, surfing on the internet, gambling, smoking, eating sugar etc is a recipe for addiction.

So you need to do reality check once in the while and get that rush from a different, more sustainable source like going to gym, swimming, meditating or what ever works for you. It won't be instant gradification but in time it will work to keep the balance.

Emotions are human nature. It's impossible to not feel emotional when we do gambling.

If the goal is to stop gambling, we really need to force ourselves to stop it no matter what, regardless of the big emotion we will feel.

It's hard to totally stop gambling but only us can help ourselves.

there will be positive and negative effects, emotions when used properly and not excessively will give a warning to the decisions made when investing. But if emotions are too excessive and uncontrolled, they will have a bad effect so that it cannot make good decisions. The emotions that are released when gambling is more likely to be emotions that are too passionate to win and continue to win, this will lead to addiction to gambling so that it cannot be controlled.

Indeed, sometimes playing gambling requires emotions to drive adrenaline and get lucky as we know.
but back to the original thought that gamblers if they cannot control their emotions when attacking gambling will cause excessive adrenaline and make mental down and depressed. if it's like that it will be very difficult to control the control that has occurred at that time.

so a gambler has reasonable emotions but still has to maintain or control his emotions so he doesn't lose even more money

and we feel very strong emotion when we lose the hard earned money and its gone forever.
Gambling can steal ones peace and happy - it is no joke

but sometimes , it will lead to another problem like overspending. We should learn how to manage our eagerness to win and to play frequently, there's a major impact of our emotions in the way we see gamble, and for me when we are sad , we should not play and we should not make it as our outlet to release emotion I do not know if someone will agree to me but only play when you are okay, so that it will not lead to another problem and issues, stabilize your mind so you can play without any problem.

Over gambling is what create all that mental issues and drive you to a very dangerous addiction, if everyone is just gambling the money that you can afford to lose which totally and clearly mean you won’t try to recover that money if you lose it with more money that you need as cutting from your children or your food money just to gamble trying to recover. We all felt that bad feelings and emotions when losing some money in games but we surely know it’s not always a lucky day for us and also not everyday is unlucky.
If you started feeling addicted and depressed because of your gamble losses there’s some services that will take care of you and help you pass through that period. I also suggest you to stop gambling as many casinos have self ban feature where you can ban yourself from gambling ever again or also sitting limits for your maximum gamble

It's just normal to feel emotional when gambling but it's up to us where those emotions will bring us.

To fully stop gambling, that requires more eagerness and dedication as that was hard to do especially for those who are already addicted.

Not just emotions but trying to think of other ways to help us stop gambling should be considered if ever we decided to do it.

Oh definitely! Gambling triggers all sorts of emotions (e.g. anger, happiness, fear, anxiety, etc.) and that is one of the reasons on why people love gambling.

Take this as an example: whenever you try to do an extreme sport, you are scared initially of trying it out. But once you have tried it, there is this feeling of relief where you have accomplished something that was seemingly impossible but you triumphed on the end. These waves of emotions can also be felt while a person gambles- the adrenaline of waiting, the anxiety while betting your money, and the happiness/sadness that you feel in the end after you have won/lost your bet.

This is practically the reason on why some people use gambling as a form of entertainment.

Where I live it is very common for some people to go to the casino to unwind themselves after a difficult week on their jobs, and while it is true that there is always a risk for people to go beyond this initial goal, as long as you are watchful of your emotions this should not present too much of a problem.

After all in the market of cryptocurrencies we can gamble with amounts of money which are very small, so not only you can get a lot of fun out of casinos, your expenditures can be quite small if we compare them to other hobbies you may enjoy.

Of course, gambling awakens various emotions, everything is more interesting when feelings and emotions are involved. We feel excited when we get to do our favorite stuff, feeling happy when we win, and depressed and frustrated when we lose are integral parts of everything we do in life. This is particularly with people at young ages, they go from extreme to extreme even while playing the most ordinary kid games. As we grow and mature, we learn to control it, and how to deal with it...


Well, it's character. You know when you play some game and you are stuck at some level... I am ready to try over and over again, to play night after night just to eventually win, and some people will get bored and quit after a few tries! But with gambling, the tricky part is deciding where/what is the victory. Making a few bucks or x10k? Unlike ordinary gambling games, we decide ourselves where the end is, and that decision always depends on the current mood and, of course, character. One thing is certain, those who don't know how to control their emotions will have less success than those who know how to tame their emotions and follow their plan.

when people keep saying: "don't put emotions in games or any investment" people are not lying, as hard as it may seem to be able to not put feelings when playing, one has to be able not to put feelings when playing. the moment he puts money in the game, the person needs to say to himself: "this is a lost money, I won't miss it and I won't care about it" and when the person loses all the money he used in the game, he won't feel sadness or any other negative emotion, and if the person wins in the game, he will only see the money increase, but it will not create high expectations, he can even use the profit to spend on something in the real world. but always keeping in mind: "money you put in the casino to play is money lost"


Now that you mention it, sometimes I watch people, and I see the following: there are people who, when the day comes to receive their salary, take 25% to have fun, on this list of fun for these people are: alcoholic drinks, short trips something for a few days (on weekends) night walks. the funniest thing about it is that I don't see anyone criticizing when these people come home drunk that they can't even stand or walk, but if a person takes 25% of their salary to have fun and on the list of fun they have: "casinos and gambling" then there will be a huge list of people criticizing. It's strange how society thinks and acts

If we could understand that gambling using cryptocurrencies could help us to reduce the number of big losses, we would not try to use more amounts because it's not worth doing. But whatever results in we get, the games can tempt us to play again and only by having good self-control can we stop on time and instead, we can hold back excessive emotions. However, it is difficult, but we must keep trying. Otherwise, destruction is just a matter of waiting for its time to come to us. And when it begins to happen, we will not notice it other than to see the loss unfold before us.

If you let your emotion to chase your losses and you wouldn't feel happy when you're not getting what you want, I think you're a gambling addict. Personally I never let my emotion to control my gambling activity because I can control myself very well. It just like you control to not smoke, drink, sex, drug and the other thing that can make us addicted. As long as you can control yourself, you will be fine.

I thought that eagerness to win in gambling is the spirit but should be done with moderation as the other guy said wouldn't have a negative effect on the player. I don't know about casino games and their Iteration and programmable events reoccurrence but I know for sure that in sportsbook, if you bet an amount and the ticket got cut, you have to go again with a fresh strategy. If the match you predicted doesn't favour you, the next one will do because the match you actually have in mind and refuse to stake sometimes ends up being the one that use to go as predicted in your mind, all you need in gambling is patience and moderation.

Gambling always wakes demons inside of me :D There are usually 3 of them, greed/rage/indifference. Emotions usually came in that order, I feel greedy and continue playing, even though I understand that I should stop. Then, after a huge lose, I feel rage and often shout curse words, later comes indifference - time when I hit spin/bet button and see (or just to wait) how my balance turns to zero. But not only gambling is about emotions, everything is about emotions. Without them, we would be robots (or dead).

Of course gambling play our emotions and also we can't denied that gambling is just like a drugs. We can't avoid gambling once we start gambling. If we win big amount of money then I will play more gambling. We feel all emotions while we play gamby

For my point of view this emotion we feel due to loses actually comes in because of the real money involved, too a lot of people that are involved in gambling, really do not gamble with the money that they can afford to loose, hence the emotion comes in. for instance compare your emotions when you gamble with free Money that some of this platform gave to you like bonus to when you're actually playing with your money.
Therefore to minimize the emotion we get from gambling in my own experience, you strictly have to bet with the amount you can afford to loose.

It's actually the golden saying when it comes to gambling and risking in general. You should only risk what you can afford to lose, always. It should be carved in the mind of everyone so that there would be minimal regret to be felt wherein you won't be affected so much when you suffer from unexpected loss.

In gambling, there would really be times where you'll experience bad circumstances. Sometimes, the odds won't just side on your favor because it doesn't just feel like rewarding you. But it shouldn't be enough to feel you shaken and anxious to the point you'll go depressed. Just always set limitations and bet moderately and responsibly so you won't get bankrupt and you won't hate yourself in the future for making awful decisions.

People get so involved in gambling that they put all their energy  and mind into that,  and their money too that's why they become aggressive, sad ,depressed on loosing.  They have this feeling of wanting more and more and greediness .
This is because they put their real money into this ,if people don't put actual money into that there will be less aggressiveness .
