Yeah, this is what I am trying to say; there are people who stake (book) and after several moments the match goes of even at their loses the game was running til to running.
While gaming we should pick only the amount we can control whenever it's becoming too heavy for us to carry inside the community.

when you’re overwhelmed, that means you’re already letting your emotions control you, and in gambling that’s the fastest way to lose... this isn’t about feelings, it’s about strategy, and once emotions take over, wrong decisions follow.so, don’t let yourself get carried away. Stay sharp, stick to your plan, and keep consistent because that’s the only way you’ll ever last and be profitable in the long run.

I think there is no single answer to this.

For some people it's fine to just play a game or two, for others it can get overwhelming and addictive.

Everyone is different and only you know what's best for yourself.

It's always a good idea to check how you respond to these kinds of things, and correct accordingly to have a nice balanced life.

Understand that you are gambling and that there is a potential risk of greater losses if you don't play carefully and responsibly. Therefore, you must start playing consciously before you begin so you can easily control the game, instead of the game controlling you. This will overwhelm you and lead to continued losses because you will inevitably be carried away by the atmosphere of the game you are playing.
Furthermore, ensure you are in top condition before playing, especially with a calm mind so you can enjoy the game and easily control your emotions, as emotions are always present when we gamble and are the initial source that can ruin our game.

That is correct mate!
I have also come to understand that as well because too much reliance or confident towards how they do their betting you would think that they a already made it up and we should know how we can take our decision.

The post is kind of hard to understand, at least the 1st sentence. I assume you're talking about only gambling with an amount you can afford to lose? If betting becomes too stressful for you, take a break. Sports will always be there so it's not like you have to stay away forever, just take a break until you can mentally handle it again.

I don't understand why people treat gambling is like an activity that must be done everyday or every week? ???

I gamble whenever I want and whenever I like, there's nothing like schedule because entertainment is just a secondary need. If the results of gamble I feel angry, regret, overwhelmed, sad etc, I can take a break until I want to gamble.

When was everything goes well as same as what we expect?

It's pretty challenging to understand what you mean in your post, but from my understanding, it's about achieving the best outcome as long as the game is ongoing. Is that right?

If that's the case, it's like trading where you can hold your position, whether long or short, for futures trading, and just having as much as you can.

I guess I'm not the only one finding it difficult to understand what you wrote here, so I will just go with the title of your thread.

If as a gambler you are always feeling uneasy each time you have a running game, then it just means one thing, which is you are wagering an amount that is too big for you to overlook; it keeps you worried, which should not be so in the first place, and if you are ordinarily feeling pressure over other things, adding gambling to it in such a state will only put you more in an unstable state.

For me, it's not difficult, it's impossible... even after reading it a few times, I can't understand who staked (book) what, what exactly happened after several moments, and who the hell is running & where?



I understand the title, but it doesn't make much sense either... Being overwhelmed can be positive or negative, depending on the context and the emotion or situation causing it. So is it worth being overwhelmed in gambling? Of course, yes if we are winning and/or having a great time, but it can also be pretty fucked up when we are losing...

I thought I was the only person confused at his writeup, but Nevertheless, there is an inferred meaning from the context


I think gambling is not guaranteed to move in your favour and even though you just gamble and after sometime the match is going against you, it is not a time to give up hope and maybe cash out because it is going against you. I believe the time to decide the outcome of the game is the final whistle or better off if the loosing margin is high, furthermore you should gamble with tolerable amounts so that you would not be overwhelmed with the outcome of a bet even though you fail to win it.

The key is to play responsibly and only stake as much money as you can truly control. When gambling becomes too heavy or starts putting pressure on you, it loses its purpose and can affect both you and the community around you. That’s why it’s important to know your limits, understand the risks, and never put in more than you’re willing to lose.

Gamblers experience major changes in their emotions when gambling. If a gambler thinks that he can big win from gambling by spending more time then it is completely wrong. One should not expect to achieve anything big from gambling. The more time is spent here, the more the gambler's losses will increase. If the gambler's losses increase, then at some point he will become addicted and may lose control over himself. Which will not bring him any profit in the long run. It should be remembered that gambling is not a profit scheme. Therefore, one should never waste his valuable time in the hope of gain much.

Your topic is very hard to understand. If I get it right, you mean that people should gamble with the amount of money that they can afford to lose? If that is what you meant, you are very right. If I am wrong, I will like you to quote me and explain better, or better reconstruct your topic post.

Definitely not worth it, we are not supposed to overstress ourselves because of gambling, it will affect us emotionally and physically. Since I have come to understand that gambling shouldn't be treated as a business and that it's not a get rich quick scheme I advised myself never to allow it to overwhelm me. There is no guarantee of winning in gambling and considering the house edge there is no point in stressing yourself if you understand these things. Use amount that you can afford to loose and enjoy yourself, take winnings when it comes and easily move on if it doesn't.

I read the OP thread several times to truly understand what he was saying. Because his communication was indeed ambiguous, it turns out I'm not alone.

So, I'll respond to the statement in line 2.
OP, gambling is yours to control, whether you decide to bet or not is up to you. So don't push yourself too hard when you're already mentally exhausted, there are plenty of other bets you can make. Gambling when you're in a bad mental state will actually lead to unsatisfying decisions.

What is running till to running?

Do you mean that the game is on progress?

By community, to whom that you are referring?

Also, what is here to 'carry'?

By "carry inside the community" means, you are trying to mean like you are taking your gambling activities to your friends or colleagues group or similar? I guess I must go back to school again to understand and co-relate your post with subject of this topic ::).

I'm under the impression that this expression could be the adrenaline rush when we watch games and we have a bet on certain team? Of course, we will be overwhelmed or get excited because we wanted the team that we have stake to win no matter what.

In any case this is what I understand from you post, and just like others, we don't judge, but it doesn't makes sense but we try to read between the lines on what you are trying to get here. And if you think that you are overwhelm, then it's time to maybe take a short break from gambling.

Different factors can also be responsible for a gambler to feel very odd about there running games, in most betting high amount is not usually the reason because gamblers usually have a way of betting when they want to wager big amount so actually they usually don't go for running games because of high probability of setback so instead just from few selection or one are usually the best suitable for them, though some could still wager big for a running game but however when a running games is giving the bettors concerns is mostly at the contemplation point were half of the running games has entered and the gambler started getting worried of the possibility that one game might set fire on the rest of the game.

Gamblers who are overwhelmed are gamblers gambling from a place of discomfort. These gamblers to me have not yet achieved financial independence, and may even be expecting to be rich from gambling. Because of the hopes they have gambling, becoming overwhelmed or overrun with emotions becomes something of the regular for them to experience. I think he will barely find comfortable gamblers who were overwhelmed because these gamblers are not usually overwhelmed when they gamble and are in charge of their emotions, you find out that most of them end up winning.

How come being overwhelmed into gambling is worth it? You will lose control and will rush in gambling without thinking about the risk and how much you will lose. That is about emotion and once your emotions are high, that will affect you and make you lose control. You know what will happen if you lose control. That will be bad for you because you can not think clearly and wisely because you let your emotions decide. If in that situation, you feel angry, you will not think to calm down but you will feed your anger by continuing to gamble. You will not think about what effect you will get from it later.

What you're writing about is called compliance with risk management. And this applies not only to gambling, but also to trading, insurance, and any business, as it is aimed at limiting risks, which ultimately leads to saving your money.

That's what we call gamble what you can afford to lose. If you think that you are risking too much then that will be a problem specially if you lose that money and that could be the start of being addicted to it.

Because you want to comeback and recover what you have losses. And it turn it could be worst as you will lose more. So that the cycle of gambling. If you don't learn and understand and you are still overwhelmed then it's better to just stop and settle down and get yourself to control yourself.

I am very confused to what you just said but I'll answer your question on the thread.

Whenever we feel overwhelmed, this is the time where we feel most vulnerable to. Our decision making becomes clouded to the point that we are easily influenced by all sorts of external factors happening in the gambling atmosphere. Instead of being level headed, we react to our emotions and this will give us the tendency of making more incorrect decisions in the process.


The problem lies when a person becomes too overwhelmed with their emotions to the point that it affects their decision-making, which ultimately leads them to disaster. This is exactly the reason on why we should always have a risk-management plan whenever things go south.

If a gambler is feeling overwhelmed during gambling, the gambler is gambling irresponsibly. One or more of this factor may be responsible for the feeling of being overwhelmed, they include gambling with the amount he can't bear loosing, having no risk management strategies in place, a no existence bankroll management, social pressure from friends.

The consequences of this is a loss, emotional disorder and the onset of gambling addiction.

Being overwhelmed by gambling doesn't end positively well most of the time, because when you are overwhelmed, you probably have allowed your self to make irrational decisions, you allow your emotions to lead you instead of still making the right decisions. Some people chased after loses, became addicted and has not even realized it that they are addicted, that's how being overwhelmed can lead to.

Then, that’s not a good sign. Getting overwhelmed means it’s already too much. We all know that anything excessive is always bad. Feeling overwhelmed in gambling is a clear sign of addiction, and it means you’re already in deep. It’s very hard to climb back once you reach that point, you’re heavily invested financially, emotionally, and mentally. You’ll end up in an even worse situation if you can’t control it. Never let your emotions take full control of you. Leave some space for yourself to breathe and stop immediately.

Being overwhelmed means you don’t have the risk appetite to gamble probably due to the money you are risking is something that you can’t afford to lose.

You will not feel overwhelmed if you are risking a small amount that you can replace or earn immediately for a short period of time. It’s not worth it feeling overwhelmed because gambling should be use for fun purposes only.

You don’t need to experience this kind of feeling if your goal is just to relax.

It is not possible to profit by just being immersed in gambling, but to be profitable, it is definitely a matter of luck and experience. There are some people who are addicted to gambling for a long time, and they often profit, while there are some people who are immersed but face more losses than profits. Basically, those who cannot stop even if they lose and continue their gambling, they have definitely become addicted. So to profit while gambling, you definitely need experience, and if you lose, you should stop, and what is most important is controlling yourself. If you gamble, you must pay attention to various aspects, and play responsibly so that you do not get sucked into gambling.

When gambling, I believe it's a bad idea to get overwhelmed. Once you get carried away, it's over for sure. If your losses start piling up,
there's a high chance you'll lose control of your emotions.

This is especially true when the thought of chasing your losses enters your mind. Sometimes, you'll even increase your bets, thinking that if you win,
you'll immediately recoup what you've lost, but that's rarely the case.

Strategy wont influence the outcome of the game, it only help reduce the risk of you losing so much in the long term. I dont see how emotions make us lose in gambling faster when we all claim luck is the main thing in gambling. When we lose its bad luck and when we win it is good luck. My point is, poor decision making, using emotions to gamble can result to anything, both positive and negative.

If you become a gambler who is not greedy, you don't need to risk everything to feel satisfied. Allocate an amount that you have calculated beforehand, and be consistent with that amount. Don't bet beyond your budget to remain sane. When you try to bet beyond your budget, you are actually setting yourself up for a greater loss. This situation will not allow you to enjoy the bet, you will only feel pressure.

Well, being too emotional can drain your bankroll very quickly. So it makes you lose in gambling faster, no matter how lucky you might be in the early bets. In the long run, gambling always leads to the same outcome, the house has the edge, and you eventually lose.
While your decision making will fully control your bankroll, how you manage your bankroll determines whether you maximize your chances during winning streaks or minimize the damage during losing streaks.

The problem most gamblers are facing is greed. Why on earth will a gambler gamble with very huge amount of money that puts him under pressure? Why will a gambler gamble with borrowed funds or even go as far as begging , selling off properties and stealing just to push it into gambling that is so unpredictable. It is because they are aiming for something higher and while at it, they put in place no risk management strategy to help them deal with the emotional stress that comes with gambling. Yea, gambling this way brings no fun, just unnecessary pressure.

Yeah, exactly, and the sad part is a lot of gamblers don’t even realize they are caught in that loop until it’s too late they think they’re one big win away from turning everything around but in reality that one win rarely comes and even if it does they usually throw it right back in chasing for more instead of walking away.

The truth is gambling is designed in a way that the house almost always wins in the long run so without self control and proper limits there’s no chance of coming out ahead the greed makes people forget the basics like only gambling what you can afford to lose or knowing when to stop they just keep chasing losses and piling on pressure and when you add things like loans debts or even family money into the mix it’s no longer just their own problem it affects everyone around them relationships break down trust gets destroyed and it can spiral into bigger issues like crime depression or total financial collapse.

At the end of the day gambling should be treated as entertainment nothing more if someone can’t handle that and keeps playing with pressure and desperation then it’s not just bad luck anymore it’s a mindset problem driven by greed.

Overwhelmed by gambling? That means you are so ambitious in gambling that you are overwhelmed to the point of wondering whether it is worth it.

Never force yourself because gambling will never be peaceful if you continue, especially if you lose a bet and then bet again. There will be no end to it, and you will only become more emotional because you lost.

So, I don't want gambling to become a compulsion, let alone overwhelming It's not worth it.

Be overwhelmed by the fun, but don't lose control and take risk beyond your measure, because we cant afford to allow the emotions control us in gambling, many have been gambling in such a manner that cant be predicted, depending on how the game starts and how it process's, we can catch the fun and make the best decision, but avoid taking risk as according to how we cant condole for it.

I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by gambling, and speaking from experience, i can boldly say that whenever a gambler starts feeling overwhelmed by gambling, it means he's no longer in control, it means he is also under certain pressure caused mostly by bad decisions, and in this state, a lot of things can happen if such gambler keeps rolling. the best thing to do at this point is to take a break for a moment, retrace your steps, that way you'll be able to detect where you messed up and possible make corrections.

It's hard to understand your post, but I think you are talking about those who bet on many games, thinking that they can win all the games as they predicted.

For I know best, that has been the attitude of the majority of gamblers. They don't prefer to bet on a few games that their chances of winning is high. They prefer going for many number of games, thinking of winning it big that way.

Somehow, I love how every gambler who does more than he can take often faces the consequences of his/her actions immediately. The only unfortunate thing here is that these gamblers who face the consequences of their actions usually do not learn from their experiences until everything becomes worse and they cannot take it anymore. Gambling is not a job, no one is suppose to treat it so important to the extent of losing so much from it. Gamblers can do better to take away these weight of emotions from themselves.

Feeling overwhelmed when gambling is caused by greed and having unrealistic expectations about gambling. Gamblers fo beyond their limits and this is also one of the major reason why they get overwhelmed. Gambling is supposed to be for entertainment purposes but some people go all in and stake more than what they can afford to lose. You must always pick the amount you are comfortable with

It’s worth to be overwhelmed, but not in gambling, because the more you get overwhelmed, the more you spend your hard-earned money and eventually lose them all in the end. You lose the control over your emotions, and to think that your emotions turn into your biggest enemy, that just means that you allow yourself to lose more than what you are comfortable of losing, instead of gambling only what you can afford to lose.

Gambling is fun, profitable, but not when you already abused gambling. Learn to gamble only at a minimal amount, so you can avoid unfavorable losses that might lead you to future regrets and much bigger losses.

Being overwhelmed is not bad to do, because it shows our expression on how we are feeling about gambling and the particular game we may be playing or willing to play at a particular time, being overwhelmed also could signifies how we wanted to express our our attitude towards playing a game, because it can get to a certain limit, whereby we can all get to gamble as we can afford to play bets with being excited to do so, which is a kind of common feelings we often express when we are so interested in gambling.

Being overwhelmed simply means been "drown in something", which could be either as a result of stress, thinking, uncertainty or doubt. And as such, when it comes to being "Overwhelmed" as it relates to gambling, it simply means the state whereby a gambler is flooded with thoughts regarding his/her gambling activities. And there are certain factors that could make a gambler gets overwhelmed, such as when he could have gambled and had more lose to win. And as such gets overwhelmed and worried, which is actually not worth it. Hence the main reason why it's always advisable people gamble an amount they can always afford to lose.

If one is becoming overwhelmed with gambling, it means one is not even prepared for it. In gambling, one will need to examine themselves and make good decisions. If you are not prepared for the outcome of gambling, whether you win or lose, then it is very possible to become overwhelmed.

Most gamblers who become overwhelmed with gambling do so because of the mindset they have. Some gamblers go into gambling with overconfidence and high expectations of winning, and when they find it difficult to achieve what they want, they become overwhelmed.

If you get overwhelmed and make tons of profits, then I can say it’s all worth it. But if you are at a consistent loss and still trying to gamble more hoping to hit a big win that could save all your losses, I can say that your gambling obsession is never worthy at all.

Getting overwhelmed is normal for us especially if we are in the streak of winning. But this isn’t good for us in the long run. We are becoming slaves of our emotions, which can be very alarming if our emotions would lead us into wrong decisions that would make us suffer from huge losses in the end.

True before you can consider anyone as been overwhelmed by gambling such a person could be considered as an addict because he is been taken over by his emotions and has lost the place of controlling once self because all what such a person is after is trying to bet again and again immediately after the each slim that he or she has bet on is lost

Stopping and resting for a while will give the mind more peace of mind, I experienced it myself when losing a game or a bet.
made me stressed enough to break out a cold sweat because I was too nervous about losing even though it was a little money.

Mentally such a game is very annoying leaving me unsettled and regretting also with some losing games and bets that don't get any results.

But looking at the people who bet without stopping as if they have more money, maybe they're mentally trained, or they're just greedy and can't control themselves?

In gambling we don't have to entirely depends on winning, and like what I often notice there are people who could be that feeling so cool with their games or predictions with the hope that they would win something big while gambling, becoming overwhelmed with games aren't good sometimes your expectation wouldn't come as expected that is why it's good to cut down your expectation on the winning you are hoping at. Gambling is for fun and not for profit making or seeing as an external place to make money.

Overwhelmed with what exactly? Fear of losing money, or happiness/joy after winning? You know or should know that there are two ways by which a person can be overwhelmed, someone who played a bet and the match is at that moment being played can be overwhelmed with fear of losing their money specially when they are on the losing side based on that ongoing game results..

While on the other hand, a person can be overwhelmed with happiness after they surprisenly wins a bet they never thought they could win, especially if and when the profit is really good.

So over all, being overwhelmed is a natural part of gambling, but we must ensure that we do not risk amounts that will leave us overwhelmed with fear of losing a game due to the amount of money involved, we must ensure to always bet only as much as we can comfortably afford to lose..

What I mean is that when we finally wagered on games or stake on sports, we shouldn't be that reliance on those games because they may not play as we think, sometimes they often go against how we expected so is not something we should be think very higher to make a certain amount from gambling. When gambling do not hope to win big amount, and also do not expect that every game staked or wagered would definitely come as plan which is not possible to always results to winning, therefore, expect little and cut down higher expectations.

It's not worth getting overwhelmed by gambling. When we look at gambling, we must be clear that it's a form of entertainment. This means that when people gamble, they should have fun. If someone is happy, enters the casino, gambles, and leaves sad, irritated, or angry, then that person shouldn't gamble again because they haven't understood the purpose of gambling. They should seek other forms of entertainment.

There are many cases where people even know that gambling is a form of entertainment. They start gambling moderately, then win a large sum. Or they see someone who won a large sum gambling and completely forget that gambling should be entertainment. They start gambling frequently, win very quickly, and lose everything.

We can get overwhelmed by yourself without waiting for someone to get you excited, because as your gambling playing your bets, you often notice several opinions, strategies and techniques you have to adopt in playing your games so as to get more excitement from it because in doing so you get overwhelmed and these alone has a long way to go in the time being, weather you're satisfied with gumbling on not, also we can choose to see the way we often lose our bets or win them atimes, it's may be that we have been more overwhelmed as a result of either of these in the gambling.

What I think is like people who play game that run for months, like a parlay of several weeks. There are people that play that and will select the big teams or games of high probabilities even up to 50 games in one bet slip. They will continue holding until all the matches are settle and often they will see 20 of those matches that played earlier entered only for the last games to spoil the ticket. According to what I understand from the post, the author is saying that it is better to reduce the game to only the few that one is sure of to minimize the risk.

Actually your idea is good or suggestion you tender is very nice one but the thing is that most of us have been emphasizing on this that even though it is gambling or anything but has to do with the gaming you should try to use amount that you can be able to control or whenever you lose it you will not feel depressed but so many persons fail to understand about scenario about participating in gambling with what you can afford to lose knowing that everything that concerns gambling is about to risk and do we need to know very well that there is no assurance anything that has to do with the gaming entirely

Had to read twice to understand because it was a bit complex to get your point....The main reason why people get overwhelmed is simply because they do more than what they can handle, you must always stick to your limits as a gambler and not go beyond it...Gambling can be filled with so much anxiety when you stake more than what you can afford to lose, if you start getting worried or anxious then what's the point of gambling

Don't gamble when you feel it's too heavy for you. That's the start of the misery of a gambler when they keep on gambling and yet, they have that heaviness they feel inside. And that's why if they can't take the risk and the weight to carry as they gamble, it's best to simply just watch or play other things that don't require any staking. This is the reason people become addicted in gambling because their dopamines are being in a rush and they don't realize that it's giving them the vibes to keep on going despite that they should stop already.
