How to Control Your Emotions and Win More Bets

[nitrobetting]

1. Our brain is designed to help us survive
Our brains have one goal. We create sub-goals, we may want to start a family, get rich, get a better job, make winning bets, etc.

But to our brain, that’s all the same goal, to survive. When the brain loses the drive to survive, we fall into a depression.

We must understand this drive to survive if we are to make winning sports bets. The drive to survive can lead us to making bad bets or to making bets with higher winning percentages. It all depends.

The other thing about the drive to survive is that it is both a logical and emotional response. Emotions, fear, as an example, helps us survive. This isn’t the way our consciousness and mind think but it is the way our brain thinks.

2. Know that our brain’s survival instinct always pushes us toward the negative
The most significant aspect of our brain’s survival instinct is that it always pushes us towards the negative. Why?

Our brains have yet to catch up to advancements in society. We understand blockchain and AI and how our iPhone works. But the survival instinct is more powerful than any of that.

Always remember, that at the end of the day, our brains are built to help us survive. So emotions are always stronger and more difficult to control in the negative because while we know Chat GTP isn’t the Terminator, our brains see Chat GTP as the sabretooth tiger we had to run from when we lived in caves and hunted with spears.

3. When our brain believes there will be a positive outcome, it releases endorphins, it’s important for us to understand this
Endorphins push us to the positive. So we could get ourselves in a loop, meaning we get excited about all the money we’re going to win by betting on the Cardinals to beat the 49ers because the Cards are a +450 money line underdog.

Those endorphins tell us, “Do it! You’re going to be rich!” So, of course, we do it and then, when the 49ers beat the Cardinals by 30 we fall into a survival depression because we realize we needed the money we bet to pay rent.

Doing something like the above doesn’t mean we have a gambling problem. It means we have to understand how our brain works. Then, we have to realize that our brain doesn’t understand things the way our mind and consciousness do.

We can then pull our brain back by saying something simple like, “Brain, calm down.”

Your brain is you. Whatever you do you do it with purpose.  The one that is not calm is the heart which also pumps whenever something is very emotional meaning it's your heart that you need to say "calm down" while what you want your brain to do is to release dopamine and trust your instinct that you will win.  

Our instinct knows Sabertooth is one large cat that also kills since we see it on TV. The ones with fangs are the ones that will bite their prey by the neck.
ChatGPT is not taught as a Terminator, we only knew it was something to run away from because it was created by someone who also created the Worldcoin and wants to scan our Iris.

I think the brain controls all the other organ in the human body and soul and the brain is the powerhouse is controls all the vital part that form our body system as a human and how we react to things all depend on the conditions of our brains,  our thought,  feelings and actions are all control and organized by the brain.

So even in gambling,  in other to control our emotions we must properly position our brain to have to right reasoning so that our heart can be at peace to make better informed decisions during the game.

I guess we really have to admit defeat though. And with that kind of mindset, our brain might tell us to stop gambling so that we still have our money in our pocket to pay our monthly rent.

I think gamblers though know how brain works, but most of time we go against it. And it will take some experience if we wanted to have total control of it. Of course positive thinking might help, but I don't think that it will be a effective method though. What if this positive thinking fell? We don't have any plan B? So the best thing to do is once you understand that you might not win everytime, then your brain might tell you to to stop completely while you still have some money.

This is an interesting topic which intrigues me, because it really looks contradictory that we get addicted to gambling, since our brains always look for survival instinct. It's like gambling lured our brains to believe that betting is positive for our survival through the profit we can make. Somehow our brains get immune to the threats signals gambling can be a bad thing if you are going too far. It's like there were a lion in front of you, but instead of running away from it, your brain executed the command of running to it. From a survival perspective it doesn't make any sense...

[Mahanton]

Totally depends on what you do have in mind on the time that you do play gambling because we know that there are people whom do treat gambling
as a main source of income or making themselves rich and to those people who do just simply play for the sake of entertainment and leisure.
Our brain is indeed the main thing that we should really be needing to control and if you have that think that it is really that impossible to make money with gambling because of that basic principle that
house do always win at the end then your emotions will definitely be getting in lined with it and on the time that you had lost up a session then you could easily moved on and stop for that particular moment or day
Comparing into those people who had been thinking about making money and thinking on getting rich with gambling will really be having that kind of motive in mind.

It all matters with your intent and belief on gambling because if you do really find yourself being delusional or believing in things which cant really be that possible then
you would really be messing up in the end and this is where you would be having that miserable gambling experience that you wouldnt really be touching even once more on the time that you had devastated by it.

[Kemarit]

The question is, it is really our brain that controls our emotion? Or our heart?
And I doubt that as a gambler, we can win more games because of our brain being positive.
I mean it's all about the odds and our extreme luck. If we have luck on our side, then we might go for more wins because we "feel", and our brain and heart tell us to play for more.
So it's really very hard to control ones emotion, regardless if we are winning or losing. The only way to win more bets is to stop when you are winning and not go for another run.

[Casdinyard]

This detachment of yourself from your brain is a little absurd in my opinion. And while I know that in every case your brain takes the top spot over your conscious, that shouldn't mean you'd relinquish control over your own agency cause "you can't win against your brain anyway". As with gambling, you have a lot of ways and things you could employ that will help you from becoming addicted to gambling, controlling your emotions or not. It all boils down to assuming control and ensuring that you're not being abused by your own brain. I've seen one too many people fail at this and eventually succumb to gambling addiction, don't detach yourself from your brain, use it as a tool to make the most out of your gambling journey.

Your title is "How to Control Your Emotions and Win More Bets". And only tip you are giving is that we shouldn't bet on the underdog, because we would be betting on the underdog because of endorphins. Not betting on underdog might give you more seperate wins but it doesn't mean you would get better roi as it only takes 1 loss to undo several bets with low multiplier

So this doesn't really make much sense to me. Taking risks is the whole point of gambling. Without risks this wouldn't be called gambling.

[Cling18]

I think it's having the right mindset right from the beginning. It is important that we'll know our control and limitations right before we start gambling so we have set a complete goal and we are conditioning our emotions and mind before anything else. We all know how tricky gambling can be, there will be times where we could have long win streaks which will tempt us to bet more because of greed but we should be wiser than the result. Once we have win streaks, we should be smart enough to stop for a while and secure our profit than to continue betting where we could only end up chasing our losses.
It's mind over matter and no matter how our urges may tempt us, we should know how to control our emotions or else, it will be the one to control us. Also, we should keep in mind the the possibility of losing will always exist as it isn't always glory days for us so we should always be ready for the possible results.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I don't see any ideal reasoning in that at all... Your emotions may play some vital roles in game selections and speculations, but it's not gonna cut it.. yeah, you'd wanna prove that - if 'em emotions are probably controlled, you can possibly make proper speculations, with several experiences, considering all vital bumbs and stoplosses - but again, that's not a guarantee...is it??! rhetorical
Basically, your objections might be a great solution or say - an allergy on a gambler that would wanna quit totally as well.

I believe that the brain is the engine on which every other part of our body functions including our fears, anxiety or happiness. When we gamble, the brain send signal on the way we should feel depending on the outcome of the bet. So for example if the bet is a lose then we are likely to feel bad, if we are not sure of the winning potential of our game it is the brain that either make us have that anxiety or fear. So if we are able to get a balance of our emotion due to our winning rate then, we can make more progress and I think that is why sometimes when you are winning then you can be able to continue winning but a lose changes your countenance which also interacts with the brain.

Therefore, a bad feeling may not be good for gambling and that could be the reason addicts lose more than profit.

The thought of the person define the complete person action,the optimistic person will work with positive attitude.The pessimistic will work in negative way,the person thought is most important in the gambling also.It’s essential to make the heart and mind to satisfy in each and every loss,this was the last loss.One day everything will be solved by the big win by the luck.Most of the gamblers play the game with the Instinct from their heart.If the gambler win the game with the instinct,then he follow the same instinct in all the matches.At first the gamblers must trust their own instinct to use their money in the gambling.Don’t trust any other software for the betting,just trust your won instinct is enough in the game.

Controlling our emotions in gambling just basically means, we won't turn irresponsible along the way.

It doesn't have to do with winning more bets especially if we refer to playing luck-based gambling games such as dice, slots, roulettes, and so on. Even on sports betting, controlling the emotion won't add even a bit of a percentage of chances of winning as what the emotion covers here is, the amount of bankroll that will be placed on a bet or analyzing what the best odds to choose - staying at average odds or risking more money at huge odds.

It isn't really necessary to always keep in mind to control emotions, especially in gambling. There are other things to prioritize rather than that.

As long as we continue to gamble, our emotions will automatically adapt to the situation.

[Wexnident]

Just limit the damn money you use on your bets by depositing only a specific amount instead of, well, everything. Your emotions can get in the way of you, but in the end, a gambling session (mostly for casinos I guess) is in the end a method for you to release emotions, to enjoy it more specifically. If you really want to win more bets, increase your bank roll and play more. The games always have a 50/50 (maybe less because of house edge) chance of win/loss most of the time, your emotions only influence how much you "play", not "win'.

We can then pull our brain back by saying something simple like, “Brain, calm down.”

If you think like that when you gamble, it could potentially give you more losses than of winning, because ones you lose you will automatically get frustrated and upset for expecting so much for your bet to win. That kind of mindset is like counting the chickens before it hatched, thus when the number did not meet, one will get disappointed.
Controlling your emotion is not really easy, but if you can manage to gamble what you can afford to lose, I guess you can handle disappointment and frustrations when you lose.

[blockman]

We can then pull our brain back by saying something simple like, “Brain, calm down.”

And after giving your brain some words like that, take a deep breath. Inhaling and exhaling will help you to come down so that will be able to control your emotions.

Just limit the damn money you use on your bets by depositing only a specific amount instead of, well, everything.

That's doable but if someone who's too easy on himself will be able to cross that limit and pull everything that he's got. Whether it's from his pocket or from his savings or holdings in crypto. Loosing control to one's emotion is definitely gonna make us crazy.

[dothebeats]

You can actually control how you react to certain things, so it's not an excuse that we are 'hardwired' into something when we can avoid them if we consciously wanted to. Again, being aware of what's the problem is always the hardest past of freeing yourself from impulsive decisions and bad habits related to gambling. A lot of people submits to the 'fact' that we cannot control what we are while in reality, it's the opposite.

[maydna]

If only it were that easy to tell our brains to calm down. But that's true because the brain tells us to do something we want to do. The brain gives the command, followed by the will and the body. But there is a heart that is also a filter of what we want to do. If the heart feels uncomfortable, the body will respond such as anxiety, worry, sweating, and others. When the brain still forces us to do something but the heart doesn't agree, that's where conflict occurs and can make us confused, and what's worse is that our head will hurt.

But when the heart can control everything, the heart can calm the brain to calm down, which is immediately followed by the body responding too. And immediately, awareness will come to us by showing the impact. However, that is not always the case because the reactions can vary.

Your emotions can get in the way of you, but in the end, a gambling session (mostly for casinos I guess) is in the end a method for you to release emotions, to enjoy it more specifically.

Exactly what every gambler should know, do not play with all the money you have to avoid losing everything just deposit the amount you wish to play with and once you play there is nothing more or less your emotions will control you to do something else. Every gambler is risk taker but the ability for the gambler to make up his mind to accept that in gambling you  either win or lose and for the reason one must be ready to accept any our come weather good or bad.
