We may have been taught several times how to distinguish the intuitive voice from the voice of your ego. Although, it requires a lot of practice and patience to be able to tell their differences apart. One way I have learnt to tell the difference is this, as long as it involves emotions;
When I feel anxious, insecure, or tense from the thought of making a bet or during gambling, the ego is likely guiding me and I might likely lose.
Also, if am feeling uplifted and also feel like the idea is coming from a loving, authentic place, it’s probably my intuition making the call, and during this moment I make great predictions and attract good luck in the form of winnings.

In trying to relate this to gambling/betting, am more or less interested in, how does your feeling/emotions affect your wins or losses when making a bet or during gambling?

Do you care to know if the bet made was attributed to your feelings of ego or you simply followed your intuition?

I never gamble actually when I am emotionally bothered due to some personal problems because that will always affect my decisions on where and what to bet. It’s safer to just stay at home than to lose everything in gambling in times you think your negativity rules over your positivity. However, in times I’m feeling good and lucky, that would be my best time to gamble and explore different games in casino.

When i do tend to gamble then it is really surely pertains about my mood whether im into it or simply there are days which i dont really feel on making out some bets.
If im stressed nor really that get bored, there are other things comes up into my mind to distract myself on such situation but if those things arent possible due to some factors which i cant able to do
so then the last option would be doing gambling as this isnt really that my priority and if i do see that i have some funds or money to spare then i would definitely be
playing.Doesnt mind off about ego or intuition because it all matters on my mood and interest on that certain point.

Yes. Our own mood usually determines whether its best to gamble or not. Otherwise, forcing ourselves to gamble even if we know there is something wrong within ourselves will only make the situation worst and will mostly end up our betting into the losing end. So when I gamble, that is the time I’m feeling positivity and lucky and hopeful that I would be in profits and attract more winnings.

I follow analyses and I enjoy more of sport betting. But for casino games, I prefer to just have fun with it. But I do noticed that if I am not that happy is the time I win most but losing when I feel happy and more eager to play. I do not know what is connected to this though. This was when I was still addicted though, the kind of money I am using now is little to not make me think of anything like winning or losing is necessary or not.

Whenever I do betting, I sometimes follow what is my intuition telling me, but in games where it’s skilled based, I do it with lots of knowledge and strategies because it’s the only way I will win. However, in times I have a bad feeling or my mood isn’t good at all, there’s no way I will gamble. Because I know for sure, I won’t like the outcome either since it will all be losses than gains.

For me, it's all about the feeling of urgency coming over you. If you have to force yourself and subject yourself to some sort of fight or flight, it's most likely your ego taking over. But if you just feel it in yourself, like you don't have to force anything, and you just know right then and there it must be done at once, it's most likely your intuition talking. But honestly, especially when making bets or major decisions in my life, I tend to be deaf on both sides. There have been instances where people sre biased towards their intuitions because they tend to inflate the times it was right over the times it was wrong, I myself am guilty of this too. So I trained myself to never base major decisions over things that don't make sense at all, gut feeling and ego included.

So as a result, none of my games were ever connected to anything without scientific or probabilistic basis. I still lose games of course, but at least I don't blame it on anything, I just know it was a chance encounter. And I make smarter decisions relatively.

^I tried this once when I gambled while I am problematic, and it is not working for me the luck is on my side, I stopped because I have consistent losses at that time which becomes very frustrating instead of having fun. If you have this feeling, it is better to find another way to cure them, not gambling because it becomes worst when you cannot concentrate on playing. I prefer to have a cold beer in my hand while analyzing my problem or thinking over my problem than gambling, dealing with our ego while gambling is not a healthy option. It will create terrible mistakes.
Just go outside and find a girl that makes you happy and when you are bad feelings will heal, then back to gambling.

Our respective egos have no relation to winning and losing in our gambling session on that day.

To make things somehow clear, our ego instead affects the way how we decide and if bad days occur, expect that decision is worst.

Therefore, if we are not in good mood, we can't think properly about what to do and will just do some random betting based on a quick decisions.

if we play with our ego it is tantamount to provoking greed in gambling and it will not have a good impact if we continue the game, playing gambling must be calmer and relaxed so that we can control our emotions especially our ego

Ego feelings are part of a person's personality, so everyone has different ego feelings and has a level that will not be the same as other people. Gambling bets made with the Ego might help a little, because basically the ego is also a feeling that acts as control over our personality.
But if gambling is based on emotions it will affect the betting process. There will be anxiety and emotion when the gamble does not go well. Always want to win and must win, there is no self-control so losses will be more dominant.

Luck isnt something that you can really be able to influence because it could come and go on various situations whether you are in a good feeling or on a problematic one.It is really not something that you could assure
off and this is why some people are really that liking to play when they are in good mood or they do feel that they are lucky today but on the time that it do gives that different outcome then it do really ending up
on having a frustration or anger. Play as usual or on the time you do really like to play or something that makes you wanna do so.As long you are really that aware on what are the limits
and how it should be handled then it should be fine.

What’s mine is different too because everytime I feel bad and having emotional issues, I stay away from gambling because I will just end up messing around. But in times I’m happy and feeling super good, I prefer to gamble that time because not just my instinct is telling me, but I believe I can easily attract luck and be profitable that time. But I find it’s profitable enough that you gamble for entertainment, because gambling will never actually us avoid from losing, we only make profits at the start but everything still end up back in the casino especially if we still insist to gamble after profiting.

i am more on this side. thus, i simply follow my instincts on a given bet. your ego doesn't affect the outcome of your bet, but it surely does affect your emotion. much better if you will bet on a relax mode so you can think in a more logical way. if you are not agitated, you can think and reason out clearly why you are placing such bet. you won't be too hard on yourself when you lose.

I'm not sure about this, I don't used my emotions when I bet or my ego, I mean definitely we bet on what we feel who is going to win based on our analyst if this is sports bet. But for games like slot machine or dice, it's pure luck based so there is nothing in between but to see if you are lucky on not.

And maybe this feeling could be attributed to what we call superstitious as well? when we think that we should play when everything is calm and around us is very positive? we have the sense of security that we are going to win, however, it might not be the case. So there's nothing that will affect us in winning except lady luck in our side.

when I am in a bad mood or emotional, I will never enter into any gambling, I prefer to sleep for a while and when I wake up from sleep the mood is safe and emotions are overcome, then I enter into gambling.
some time ago I tried to force myself to keep betting when I was in a bad mood and got emotional after that in the end I had to keep losing with the max bet that I did.

Some people do believe on that law of attraction on which if you do find yourself to be that on positive on winning then you do have that luck on winning the game but its not something that we should bare up
in our minds because it would really just bring out that frustration instead.When doing gambling then this would be particularly means about your own mood, if you do gamble just because you are that sad
or stressed from your work and  then you do experience losses then it would really worsen the situation.Some people could able to bare it up and some people doesnt really able to do so but rather becomes even more worst.

You seem to have acquired some wisdom on this matter, congratulations. I can understand what you mean and I admire people who can differentiate the source of their inspiration. In my case, unfortunatelly I still haven't managed how to do this properly. I feel confused if it's my intuition of if it's my greed which are leading me in gambling. All I can do is to stop playing when I reach my limit. Regards that I have no issues, but I would like to be wiser on the aspect you mentioned to make my gambling sessions more productive and profitable.

When you develop genuine intuition you are likely to make profit more often and leave the table when things aren't favourable.

An intelligent person in gambling once told me that gambling is like drinking alcohol... which is safe to do as long as you follow some sensible rules like:

• Limit the amount of hours you play. This will give you time to do other more important things in your life;
• Quit while you're winning. If you continue, chances are you will lose, because the odds are always against you;
• Stay away from high risk games where you can lose large sums of money very quickly;
• Limit the amounts to be spent, so you won't have so much trouble if you lose.

     

Practically all of the points mentioned above involve controlling our emotions in order to be applied, so I believe that much more than intuition, it takes wisdom and a clean mind to achieve good results.

It's just the same whether you're betting in a good or light mood or in a bad mood you can win or lose if in your experience you happen to win in your light mood and lose in your bad mood that's just coincidence, but it's better to bet in a good mood so you can easily accept the outcome I'm talking about games in casino not in sports betting whereas in sports betting its preferable to be in a good mood because it involves analysis.

We can't actually help it most of the time, especially people who are on the younger side of things or are inexperienced with feeling very vivid emotions. It's also rather easier to blame something you know than a factor that seems non-existent and can't really see/touch/identify (which is luck).

Honestly just let it flow imo, what you should control is the actions that would cause you to go overboard, otherwise, it's really fine to just go crazy and bet whether you're on a lose streak or not. It's controlling the "amount" of money you spend to play, and not the chances of you "winning or losing" since in the first place you can't control that, whether you're feeling extreme emotions or not.

I don't gamble if i'm not in the mood or I don't seem well to entertain myself.

When I decided to play, I should be in a condition without any bad thoughts in mind so I can focus more hence what I feel the moment I play has an impact on my decision to gamble and what games to choose. If you gamble without any problems in mind, accepting losses are not also hard to do especially if you're playing to kill time.

Well, it's interesting if you can communicate with your subconscious and ask them what bet will win but its too risky because our subconscious is the part of the mind where it controls our involuntary and voluntary movements imagine if you teach it how to gamble, it will overtake all our thinking and movements making us obsess to gambling.


It never comes to a point that I need to analyze my overall feeling about gambling all I know is I bet and whatever the outcome I just accept it as it is so I can still enjoy the other things that It is important to me.

I learned a long time ago that you have to go to gambling relaxed and willing. This is something I do 99% of.

Going tired, sad or stressed out greatly increases your chances of losing, which makes your mood even worse. I think from the comments we see on this forum that many people are not aware of this and should correct it.

This is where dopamine starts and where gambling addiction starts if we attach all our feelings to gambling and find a way to attribute gambling to something internal, we will find ourselves hooked on gambling because we think we have found a way not to fail in gambling because of our so-called feeling of intuition, which is just all coincidence, this will manifest into obsession since you have a strong feeling attached to a gambling.



This is finding a way to win and chasing your losses by engaging the inner mind to interfere the logic is addiction starts with a strong attachment to a subject, we find it not only in gambling but in many endeavors.

we must gamble with positive aura because this will attract luck also remember that in gambling the negative you become is the more losses you will face.

Like you ? I only gamble whenever there is something good happens and i use gambling for celebration which brings me more chance of winning from my experiences .

Our feelings/emotions when we win will certainly increase because joy comes to us, especially when we get that big win.
But when we lose, the ego or the desire to recover will also be there and tell us to keep playing and only those who lose control will continue to play and lose even more.
That's why we have to learn to be patient in controlling our ego or it will destroy us.
I don't follow my ego when I lose and think that my gambling time is over and it's better to stop before the urge to recover the loss comes and I really can't stop it.

how can we play with feelings of emotion let alone betting because of our ego, sometimes it will make us lose a lot of money and it is difficult to control ourselves, playing gambling is not just to play seriously think about playing just to have fun, as long as it is consistent and play with calm down, we can get a little profit but it can be big later on, avoid bad mod feelings when playing gambling because that will determine our wins and losses

Since you're can distinguish between gamble in serious would suffer losses and gamble in fun would make little profit and increase your chance to win, I would like to know your daily winnings then. Can you show me your profit in the last 7 days in a row, I'm interested to know it ::)

You must be make a lot money since you're gambling for fun, not in serious.

Now I learn if luck based games will always make the gamblers win if we play very consistent and for fun :D

I'm not used to showing off any winnings let alone my money in public, because this forum is public so I never do that, I usually play casino just for fun with free money from free results as an example I play on freebitcoin usually play dice rolls there with free results so losing is not a problem coz i can get it back i prefer betting on sports than playing casino i know the bookie will always win  ;D

Unfortunately many gamblers miss one key aspect of what you were saying and they do not learn from their mistakes. Many simply do not understand the simple mathematics involved that will lead them to lose all their money repeatedly - where someone who is curious will investigate and accept that it's simple impossible to make long term money from every casino game. At that point they are simply going through robotic motions, having long ago lost the slight endorphin buzz that kept drawing them back to play after making a few wins. They confuse a lucky streak of variance in their favor, which comes up every so often with having some form of skill attached to the game they are playing.

I think when we play we should be calm and not be affected by all the negative things that happened to us. Much better to play this way and maybe it will bring positive outcome to us.

I'm not sure about ego though, that is too emotional and mostly if that is the case, our decisions will be clouded, maybe there were times that you think you should have made a huge bet, or not bet at all. I don't like that kind of emotions when I play. I will remain calm no matter what will be the outcome and not to be egoistic or something.

For me, gambling is mainly a game of luck and slight skills. It doesn't matter if you are anxious or at peace when you are gambling, what matters most is luck. I have lost when I was very happy and won when I am anxious, so I don't think your state of mind makes any difference except If you need concentration or skills to bet the game. Anger or anxiety might make you mentally unstable which might lead to a loss of focus.
Although betting sometimes might breed tension or fear it is limited when you are gambling within your means or limits. I don't have to be anxious or tense up when I am seeing gambling as entertainment and not a source of income.

As far as i know, I've never paid attention to my emotions or how i feel when gambling or placing a bet, though i do sometimes notice that i feel uneasy to betting on some games, that is like finding it hard to decide which team to bet on, but i believe this has nothing to do with emotions, i dont believe that feeling good about a bet has any thing to do to winning or losing such bet, likewise not feeling good also have nothing to do with winning or losing.
An example is the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in the 2022 world cup, that match ruined my business and almost ruined my life, and the fact that I was really happy while placing a $2500 bet on Argentina which i later lost due to Saudi Arabia winning the match is a clear explanation that what you feel before placing a bet has nothing to do with you winning or losing such bet.   

Your ego should never be a part of how you gamble because your ego when challenged will not accept defeat and because it cannot accept defeat it will motivate you to pour more money to gamble more until you realized your ego is ruining you,
Even your intuition should never be a part of gambling if you involve in it and you win because you believe in your intuition you will continue to gamble and your mind will be preoccupied with gambling, the best thing to do is to have a mindset that you're playing for fun and when you left the site or log out on the casino, that its no looking back until another session.

Gambling Selfish & Intuition are traits that often appear when we experience defeat and indeed, I often encounter these two traits, when my ego explodes, especially when I experience bad luck in gambling betting, I have to quickly think with my mind and instincts, what exactly did I do wrong or right earlier, thus I quickly act, want to continue or stop gambling, it is accelerated when I win and lose.

If I don't use intuition when I win, I still follow my ego, for sure my victory will end in 0, that's why I gamble always use intuition to determine right and wrong.

For me it's purely intuitive! I usually gamble for some adrenaline rush and fun! I never gamble to make money. So probably that's the reason it doesn't go to my feelings or ego. It can be attributed to feelings and ego when a serious money is involved into gambling and when gambling is not done for fun and entertainment. That's dengerous because that's when people get addicted and makes it very difficult to come out of the addiction.

In general, I always try to bet following a "common thread" that allows me to win thanks to my intuition and to maintain a low degree of risk. It means apply some "science" if it is possible ::)

I always try to have 0 emotions in my bets. :P
I bet against my favorite team several times (just to give an example ;) )
I think that when you manage to do something like this you have reached a "pro" level ;D

I simply just place bets on my favorite team and not using emotion since I’m just btting for fun. The bet size is what makes gambler involves too much emotion in there bets because they can not afford of losing that specific amount.

You can notice this when you are betting a 2$ bet to 100$ bet at the same time. Most likely you can’t sleep on a 100$ bet even if the odds is 1.01 compared to 2$ bet with same odds because the potential huge loss is what affects the human mind badly.

The ego will surely increase whatever the results we get. And it is the ego that will destroy you if you cannot stop playing gambling when you have experienced consecutive losses. And when we get a win, we will surely feel that it is time for us to recover from our previous losses and try to play a few more rounds. But in reality, it doesn't come true and we are trapped by the ego that wants to win more. I try to suppress my emotions while playing and even though it's hard, I still try because it's the only thing I can do to avoid another loss. And we must be really calm while playing and not be provoked by anything.

Simple bro.

1. If you win, you're gonna win or scream.
2. If you lose, you're gonna scream louder (saying a bad word "F*cK) & punch a table.

I'm do this haha, especially while losing with some stupid things like: Playing Baccarat, I got 8 and then other side got 9. That's just make me really mad, because losing with only 1 points ~XD.

Anything that is done because of ego will not give good results, including gambling. But gambling will not be separated from the ego, even if we try it, the ego will always be there and will result in exhaustion.
because it is ego that lures us to keep playing and this must be controlled even though it is difficult, and I try to play when there is confidence and a desire to bet because with this I can bet calmly and relaxed even though gambling is luck but if we play when we feel happy and calm, we can think deeper when betting and can make the right choice, sometimes luck is on my side and remember to play when the heart is calm and try not to continue playing in a state of uncontrolled ego. And sometimes luckier for those who rarely gamble.

Ego and and emotions is a must in the world of gambling it because if we can not controll our emotions for sure it will lead it into loss or break as we all that if we gamble even though we have a big personal problem make me think that's not a good practice cause it's lead us to lose our focus and bet and bet without thinking the future outcome. The best thing we need to do if we are a gambler we neeed to know ourselves first our self and practice to control our emotions.

Regardless of whatever the case might be, there is one thing I try not to do which is staking a bet when I'm not in the right state of mind either too excited or sad or even angry, I always make sure I don't make any bet when I'm in either of this moods.
To answer yur question, I would want to say that I mostly follow predictions and speculations while staking a bet especially when it has to do with soccer betting and this is because I always have to follow more of analysis and ratings and whole lot of other factors has to be put into consideration while making a bet in soccer bettings.

I've seen gamblers that win because they listen up and plan ahead for every bet they wanted to play while some got too overconfidence and their pride and ego got them loosing, though some have also experienced the other way in its opposite direction which is not something common but we have alot of gamblers loosing their games because of an error coming up from their end and this time not that they didn't play or predict well, but little foolishness or behavior cause a huge loss stopping them from winning, also we should never boast on what we never achieve or acquired yet.

Gambling needs concentration, so if you are not focused, you will lose a lot. Gambling cause different feelings. If you loss a bet, you would feel bad, or High Blood Pressure would come immediately if there is very high. Whenever you are about to play a bet let your ego and anxiety be fill with concentration. If you are disturbed before becoming to the casino hall. Stay in the casino hall for about a hour have some fun with friends so that, the boring mindset will be removed before start the stake.

Like many other gamblers I try to gamble only when I am in a good mood and there is no important business or meetings. During gambling mood can change very sharply so it is better to choose a day when you are completely free. Regardless of whether you win or not, gambling causes a surge of emotions that can lead to the wrong perception of information coming to the brain. As a consequence, this can lead to mistakes, because when you win you become overconfident, and when you lose you feel anger and most often there is a desire to win back.

So if you feel that you are overwhelmed with emotions while gambling, it is better to stop.

The mood has an impact on your decision-making because if you get too carried with those emotions might happen too is making wrong decisions, if you are too much happy because you earn a good multiplier there is a chance you get greedy too that hoping for another chance to get another profit in this game and spend that money immediately because you get to win a game and there's a possible mindset you can earn again those, and if your losses a lot there's a probability that you will make a revenge game bet like double or risk it with a higher amount.  Always gambling when you think you are in condition instead of getting urge by just your ego.

Personally, it is difficult for me to determine what exactly drives me when making a bet. Ego, perhaps, because deep down we are all a little self-confident in ourselves and in our actions, which means we behave partly selfishly, when most likely in such situations you need to either rely on intuition or just have a cold calculation. But bets are primarily a game, which means that the game must have rules, and based on this, you need to act according to them. But who does it? Yes, this is a utopia, and basically we still do as we see fit, but here it’s different for everyone. I think mostly eco prevails, as it makes the game more unpredictable, which means it allows you to experience experience and anxiety.

Based on my experience, we have a better chance of winning in gambling if we have positive emotions because we could easily create the right decisions. We could often lose when we aren't in the right state of mind because we can make wrong decisions based on what we feel. Our emotions have a huge impact on our gameplay so we should be smart enough to handle how we feel while playing. Our emotions always count in all that we do.

In fact is like that. Whether mood positive or negative, always has a high impact on the gambling which we do, even if we are have excessive emotions during gambling we will also lose although in a positive mood. I also often tell this maybe Self control during gambling is something that we must do it, but unfortunately it is not easy to self control in gambling.

In essence every time we do a gambling session it will involve emotions. of course, because we are living beings and humans who have it. however, often emotions stimulate our ego even more when experiencing consecutive defeats. as a result, our brain produces excess dopamine. the impact, we will experience high agitation, easily agitated, cognitive acuity, easily pleased, irritable, hedonism, excited and so on and what's worse is easily stressed.

So, I think this does not only involve intuition but also our psychology. despite what you say in this thread, I simply agree. however, neither winning nor losing is common when we gamble and because that is part of the risk. in fact, everyone who has a hobby of gambling especially luck-based gambling. it often involves experience or as you would say, intuition.

I will take the example of slot games, when we start playing. usually based on experience if the rotation of the slot games that we play don't go well.  our intuition will say, that we will lose. however, I think the most appropriate is the most appropriate experience in this case. so, try when we lose in a gambling session. it's better to end the game, also involve self-control and be able to come back another time because that will help us from things that lead to even bigger defeats.

A bet made based on ego and intuition or even emotions all have high chances of being wrong. Some people do not even know how to know which one is in action when they place their bet or gamble. Making a bet or gambling with ego will mean that you will not be humble to consider the facts and statistics, making a bet or gambling with Intuition means you are assuming and not also doing proper analysis, making a bet or gambling based on emotions means that your predictions are very likely to be biased and not also fact based on statistics.
