Do you feel this pressure on physical gambling?

[Debonaire217]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[BitcoinTurk]

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

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

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

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

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

You need to be a professional gambler or a well discipline gambling in order for you to manage yourself effective when under pressure.

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

The fact that gambling has a risk, you will really feel the pressure especially if you are risking a decent amount of money, even if you can afford to lose it.

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

practice makes perfect,

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

[kawetsriyanto]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Janation]

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

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

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

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