Is gambling attracted to emotion or luck

[newwest]

I do believe that it is more of luck which determines your outcome. As not all day are equal and some are good and bad, in same way on good days you win and on other days you may end up on losing note. There could be debate on this as nothing is black and white here and more on belief and the way you look at it.

Not only in gambling, but I observe anything we do under too much mental pressure (that could be misleaded with focus) we may end not reaching the desired result, on the other end, if we do it naturally without thinking too much we achieve a better result. I think it could be explained through the Law of Attraction. Each thought in our minds belong to a kind, species and they attract energies from the same kind.
Basically an agitated mind will attract disturbing energies or bad luck as some people say, while a calm, under control mind will attract positive energies which makes things work in your activities more often.

I have noticed that sometimes when I gamble, I used to win unexpectedly even when I never intended to bet. The most shocking thing is that I usually win when my mind is not that prepared to gamble probably jokingly. Anything I'm focused and well prepared I usually lose. I don't know if this is affiliated to luck or just emotions. Does this happens to others?

Thats pure luck. You did gamble on the right time. I experienced it sometimes too. Once when I got no more idea on how to play, due to too many methods I've use which ended with no profits. I do all in my balance at 100x and to my curious, its green. I even made a mistake during my auto rolls too, setting the parameters wrongly like putting higher multiplier or wrongly set the losing event but its ended with a winning bet id. It happens sometimes tho, in a rare occasion.

Probably a stroke of luck, but I don't think it can go on regularly! In betting, as in any other activity, you can't rely on luck alone!
And if you lose after doing an analysis, it means that you don't analyse events well!

all about luck, mood and internal things that can make someone win at gambling. sometimes even if he loses if his mood is calm he will not feel so stressed and lose consciousness. when playing the mood will be very influential.

If you tend to succumb to your emotions, it is best not to start gambling or trading... You shouldn't be in a good or bad mood when making gambling decisions! There has to be a cold-blooded calculation...

[Rruchi man]

It is good for one to be calculative, but when one becomes too calculative, it is a problem. From OP i believe that what you are trying to say is that whenever you are feel good about yourself and you go gamble even without trying to be too calculative or intentional about the result, you often experience a win that you have attached to emotions and luck.

For this reason, it is important that one tries not to be too serious, calculative or too intentional when placing a bet, because you are bound to make errors from over analysis. Rather approach placing your bet with a different vibe or mood, have fun while doing it and don't be too intentional, you might just make the right choice from not over thinking. At the end, you may call it luck or emotions, but i call it having fun while gambling.

I've also had many similar situations.
I think it depends on the person and how he deals with nerves and emotions in general.
In order to avoid getting nervous during the game, I always set the limit I can lose in advance. Also, I try to think that I'm not playing to win, just for the fun of it. Thanks to this, it is easier for me to accept the loss and I am more happy with the win. But the most important thing is that it allows me to control my emotions much better.

Calculation if you are dealing with strategic type of games but for pure luck then this wont really be that much needed since this would rather create stress and desperation.
I do agree on the word that if we do gamble then we should clear up our mind and we are dealing into something which we do really enjoy or in short in talks of leisure time
even though its unavoidable not for you to not to be stressed when you do lose money but since you are pretty aware with that and its true that
luck would be always the main factor for you to win no matter what.

Gambling is a form of multiplying the bet value based on the coincidence causing out of the randomness. This coincidence sometimes can be predicted on very few games. That too has a very small percentage possibility. So, it is much about the luck than emotions. Emotions play role when you're on the losing streak.

[just_Alice]

On the other hand, when someone plays for fun and doesn’t look into big wins, he might as well get lucky and win, because in this cases moves won’t be as risky and probably less frequent (people sometimes tend to play very fast under the emotional influence).

I am not sure I am following you here... who plays for fun with small stakes will have to play slots or some games that have high payouts! When you do that with a small balance you are still risking losing everything, without any big hit!

We play to win... we are emotional when we win or lose, we are emotional while we play, and all that can be entertaining, especially when we are having good wins... and luck is just a part of everything, getting lucky is a product of trying and trying, if you don't try I guess you can't get lucky in the first place!

My point was about the behavior of a gambler under different circumstances. Surely, either the game is for fun, or for the profit - the chances are the same. The difference is in people’s actions, and when someone isn’t playing for profit, but just for the game - that person will behave less emotionally and more rationally, which can lead to a better outcome.

In short, paradoxically, people tend to do stupid things more frequently when something is at stake.

This is very true, if the money you used to place bet is yours and only extra funds, you won't have the pressure as compared to borrowed money. Because if it is a loaned one, the tendency is you really get nervous about the results as you want to win. You will end up not enjoying the game in this case.

it's not just a trend it's a mentality of compulsion. Once you borrow money to bet, you must win, if betting is risky, betting with borrowed money will create 10 times more pressure. It's a bad thing for anyone to do. In gambling, the more you want to win, the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to lose. It would be strange if someone actually borrowed money to bet!

However, this immediately raises the question of how a person himself can understand what state he is in.  Is he relaxed enough to almost indifferently perceive the loss, or will he still worry.  In general, it is great if the player can determine his condition in this way.  As a rule, this is possible if you are in a great mood and something good has happened or will happen in life.  Then the failure in the game as it will not enrage at all, and the win will find you.

If that money is from borrowing money will make us get high tension, especially if we lose all of the money. Setting the limit in a gambling game will be important because, with that limit, we know how much money is left in our account so we can stop gambling as soon as possible. While we gamble, we must see how our emotions become bigger and always control them before blowing our minds and using more money. Only with that can we still have some money on our account and use that money to gamble in the next days.

In my opinion, the world is real and only 99 percent scientifically explainable.  The universe around us is 1% unreal and obeys not scientific laws, but the laws of magic. 

Magic and witchcraft exist.  Miracles happen sometimes. 

However, the likelihood of such events is very small.  I have a lot of respect for mathematical probability theory. 

However, in my opinion, sometimes it doesn't work. 

Probability theory works 99 times out of 100. It does not work 1 time out of 100.

Our inner psychological state can change the world around us - I am convinced of this. 

The state of frivolous amusement in your situation may be just the state that increases the likelihood of your gambling win.

Well, both emotion and luck could really have a huge impact on whatever we do. Like, if we are good mode, the more we are getting serious and focus on gambling but if we are in a situation that our mind is in trouble due to some personal reasons, we can never expect that there is something good to happen, but instead to expect about losses. And winning is somewhat hopeless and I'm not sure if luck would come to us with that particular situation.

all gambling players must experience this and it's normal.  if you play slots, lottery, dice or crash then only your fate and luck will decide but if you play sports and poker betting then you need skill and luck to win.

Direct opposite from how OP is trying to explained his situation, but for sure it's really more on luck and no other explanation to what happened from OP's case.

Managing to win when he's just lurking around placing random bets then win, while when he's on the track that he wanted to win using strategy / knowledge that he have, then the outcome is different.

Though, for most gamblers they are focus knowing that with just one mistake it cause them to lose their money.

Hopefully no one ever borrows money for gambling, because that would be a very difficult thing to live like that. if all does not go according to plan. gambling is only for entertainment and fun, make gambling only as entertainment and spare time. not as a place to try risky life saving to become completely poor or rich.

Have you never heard that there are some gamblers who play gambling to improve their mood?

I once read that someone who was just fired and stressed went to a casino and played slots there but he got lucky and won a few thousand bucks. This shows that the luck factor is 99% the cause of someone winning gambling, especially slots and dice.

[Slow death]

in the first few months when i entered the world of gambling I ran into the following problems:

1 - when I made a sports bet, I bet on team Z and I was hopeful that it would be a bet that I would hit but I lost a bet, but the most annoying part Is that when I did analysis I was sure that team Y would win but I didn't bet on the Y team, bet on team Z. I was always irritated with my choices.... but over time I realized that the central problem was that I didn't have an emotion planning and management

2 - whenever it was the team I like, I bet on the team I like. I couldn't let go of feelings and analyze and bet based only on the data

this all led me to realize that I was making the mistake of making bets out of emotion.

people get into games for emotion and luck, but those two things are dangerous
