An hour before going to a casino?
I feel excited and very motivated to gamble. I want to test my luck and to see if I can at least accumulate a short-term profit then I would leave the casino and call it a day!
After logging in and pulling out the games you are about to play?
Again, I feel motivated to play as I get ready to test my luck with the games that I have in stored. Sometimes, I see gambling more for entertainment than for profit especially if I am stressed out due to my work.
While playing?
While playing, there are mixed emotions depending on the outcome- if there is a losing streak, I feel anxious and there is that feeling of guilt. But when there is a losing streak, that is when I feel the adrenaline on my veins.
After you experience successive losses?
Like what I mentioned above, a losing streak makes me feel anxious and guilty. There is also that feeling of regret that I should have stopped and limited myself to a certain loss in order to keep my losses at a certain level.
After you won successively?
Again like what I mentioned above, experiencing a winning streak makes me feel the adrenaline. It makes me want to gamble more but I am a firm believer that the more you gamble, the more risk you expose yourself into losing.
After you log out whether you win or lose?
This really depends on the overall outcome of the game.
If I lost during my gambling experience, then I feel guilty about my decisions. That feeling of regret also kicks it and there are also tims where I hoped that the outcome would have been different.
But if I won during my stay, then I think of ways in order to use my profit. I consider winning on gambling as "dirty money" where I should spend it on things that would benefit me.
