Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss

[danherbias07]

It's a very subjective question. No one can answer that on your behalf, and you can't answer that on other's behalf as well. Other people might feel the euphoria for days or even weeks, and others might feel that same feeling for only a few minutes. It's just entirely different for different people, and there's not a definitive way to know or measure that exactly.

Correct.
We have different emotions when it comes to our winnings. Some would not forget about it but others will just think of it like a normal day and forget it the next day. For me, I cannot forget big wins. The x1500 that I won in Tome of Life is still in my head and I cannot forget the pattern that I made to receive that. But, the same thing with my losses. Not with games but how much money I lost in casino games. 2 days ago $20, yesterday $18. But I did forget what I lost a week ago so I guess I am now a forgetful human being and I don't like jotting down all my losses because it might make me regret it more.

But the joy of spending my profits with my kids will never be gone. They might not know that it came from gambling but I am just glad I can make them happy by simply taking them to the mall playing as kids and enjoying the day. It will be those moments that I don't regret withdrawing the money that I won and when I think about it, it becomes my energy for the day to enjoy gambling again.

how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?

Depending on my next game. Usually I’m always enjoying my win until I gamble again. My gambling interval usually days or weeks based on the amount I won/lose for my game. This kind of question is varies based on person mind because not all people can control themselves to not gamble again after the win and this usually cause a quick reversal from joy to sadness once they lose.

There’s no specific time frame on how you will enjoy your win. It all depends on when you will replace your memory with the new one.

If what we are looking for in gambling is profit, then we really won't get any pleasure when gambling, we will only get disappointment because the final result of the game is not in accordance with what we previously expected. And we will only get that pleasure, only when we get a victory and that's only temporary. because sometimes when gambling, when we experience defeat, this often makes us even more ambitious to continue playing, because we think that a big win is in sight. Especially when we get a big win, this increases our enthusiasm to continue playing, because we think that luck is on our side. And there are quite a few who, after getting a big win, bet even crazier and continue to increase the nominal bet. until in the end, the big win was not captured and the money in my bankroll was gone. So what we get from gambling is only suffering and regret.

I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?

Few days, at least for me. Of course it will depend on how volatile your mood and inner changes, necessities are. Some people are constantly seeking for pleasure and once they finally get it, it seems to not last for too long, and they are already unsatisfied again seeking for superior doses of pleasure. When it happens there must be a lack of self-regulation which is preventing the individual from achieving homeostatic state for a considerable length of time. He is too anxious and impulsive for some reason, and that should be investigated. It might be due to biological reasons, or environmental (external) reasons.

When someone can't be happy for longer than 20 minutes or few hours after winning a nice amount of money gambling, this person must be in deep mental suffering... It looks like nothing can satisfy this person for too long, despite how good and precious things happening for him/her are.

[jcojci]

Losing only leaves us with sadness, while other people will try to recover from their defeat on that same day or another day. Yes, there is emotional pain that we feel, and it is not easy to erase it. But if you gamble for fun, you won't feel the pain for long because you will think of it as part of gambling. There are losers, and there are wins. And that's what happens in gambling. Try to accept defeat no matter how painful it is and if you understand the pain, try to reduce the number of losses next time.

[Dewi Aries]

If indeed the end result is really winning even though winning is not the main priority for me except fun and entertainment but for the problem of how long the fun lasts honestly for myself the fun only lasts at most 1 - 2 hours, in the sense that when I have entered several other activities then the pleasure of my gambling winnings will disappear by itself, I don't know what the problem is but that's what I feel and maybe there are also some people who are the same or vice versa.

Another thing for the problem of defeat I am not too excessive in reacting to it, because from the beginning I have agreed with myself that whatever the result inevitably I have to accept it because there is nothing I can do, if my money is gone then maybe it's time, after all this is gambling which means winning or losing is normal, all gamblers feel it but unfortunately not all gamblers can handle every losing condition well, on the contrary I often see some of them who even chase victory to break even, even though if we look rationally there is absolutely nothing that can be done for a recovery in gambling, it will only be a waste of time and money.

[Fiatless]

No one enjoys losing in gambling.Losing brings our hopes down, it ushers in emotional pain and grumpiness whereas, winning elevates our mood, bringing happiness and excitement. There are games where I have won and after withdrawing my winnings, I am so happy that I give gifted some of it to people around me. This doesn't last for long once the it is out of my hand and minds. I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?

It will depend mostly on how important the money is to me. There are times when you are under some financial pressure and you really need funds to sort it out. When you become lucky and win a bet, the joy would last for a longer period. This is because the win will be so important that you will cherish it for a long time. Another factor that can make a win memorable is how much you win. The joy of winning big could last for a long time than small wins.  Losing when you gambled more than your budget could be very painful. And the regret and pain can last for a long time. Losing a huge amount especially when you didn't gamble within your limit even when you have some level of confidence that you will win is usually unforgettable. On the other small losses will be wiped out of my memory in a few minutes, in fact immediately I log out of the gambling platform or after leaving a physical bet shop.

Sometimes we go very near that huge win and in those cases the emotions of the lost session will be a whole lot less sad and we will forget about that lost session.The sadness is only when we lose without for example getting at least once the bonus round in slot machines the level of sadness this way would be very high so it all depends on a lot of factors.When we win though the happiness is kept with us based on how much we win,if we win a huge amount the level of happiness lasts much longer and if we only win some small amounts the level of happiness goes away very soon.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

       -   Well, honestly speaking, when I lose, it's fine, and I don't consider it a big deal because I know that's how the gambling industry works. Because if I take my loss seriously, for sure it will motivate me to enter money again so that I can recover my gambling loss.

So it is very important that we have control over our own emotions and over the amount we gamble, because if we can't do it properly, we will be like other addicts who ruined their lives because of the addiction they have to gambling.

This question I think somehow sounds confusing if you ask me and that's because  the fact that different people have their different ways of reacting to wins and losses in gambling. To some people their emotional strength isn't that strong making them to have longer duration of how they react to wins and losses while to some people, they have shorter duration of their negative and positive reactions to gambling results. So since people's emotional strength and reactions differs, I don't think there's a correct specific time to react to wins and losses in gambling

[Slow death]

I had already commented on this, but I will repeat myself, no one likes to lose, when everyone loses they get angry or sad, the difference is that there are people who can overcome sadness quickly, something like for example a person who has now lost in a bet , he stays sad for 30 minutes and then watches a movie and becomes happy and optimistic again for the next bet, because he is playing for fun and even if he was playing for profit, he would still have overcome the loss easily and that is a good attitude because you don't become a person with heart problems, you don't become a person with depression, you don't become a sad and hateful person, you don't become a desperate person.

whereas when you have a scenario in which a person is playing all day, every day and every time they lose they get angry, they get very nervous and unhappy with their defeats and instead of looking for other fun in the real world, this A person continues playing with the aim of winning to recover the loss, then this person destroys their life, starts to become a very gloomy person, locks themselves in their room, stays away from people, rarely laughs, will constantly be sad. Playing for profit has major unpleasant consequences, many people ignore these warnings, even though every day they read other people's advice on the internet telling them that playing for profit is something dangerous.

These people didn't listen, as a result, they lose everything in the real world, they destroy their lives. When a person keeps telling themselves that they are going to have fun, then they are wanting to do something that makes them laugh, something that when they finish they won't be sad with regrets. for example, if a person takes 50$ and goes to the beach to have fun, the 50$ all ends up on the beach, that person comes home without the 50$ and is not sad. So when the same person takes the 50$ to have fun playing, when they lose they shouldn't be sad either, because from the beginning the person already expected that they would lose

When it comes to emotional aspect then it would really be just that different on each person on which you would really be having that kind of duration on which you could easily that move on and forget
and some would really be lasting a long period of time on which they do always mind it off and becomes that emotional. Of course there would really be some cons if you are really that type of
person who cant really just that easily forget. Winning? of course you would really be that happy or having that joy but on the time that you would really be experiencing some losses then
you would definitely be feeling up that kind of sadness would really be that replaced completely or instant. This is why its not really that shocking i should say.

Well done cheerful giver! I can see the reason why you feel the way you feel, you take gambling as though is nothing, forgetting that when you make money lawfully, it is irrespective of the source, you have to take it seriously and not spend it anyhow. You must have gifted the winning money out simply because in your mind you thought it was free money, as though it is nothing to you. But actually, this is not free money, it is just the way you thought about it and the excitement of that time that made you behave the way you did. What if you lose the bet? So, you need to change this psychology, and this will not last, of course, it is just about the hormone at work at that time, you can correct it next time.

To me, if I win in gambling, I treat it as a business, just like I do when I trade the market or invest money, I don't waste the profit just because I am excited. Will you because you do business and gain and started doling out money to people anyhow? You need to have that good psychology about gambling, that is why you will not feel so excited when you win or lose, you just continue with the mood of a gambler, that's all. Don't get me wrong, it is your money and you can use it the way you like but just establishing the point about your feelings. It is you who should readjust your orientation about betting, and if done, you will feel almost the same way after winning and not a doused one after much initial excitement.

You are right that the duration of disappointment will be longer if gambler experiences defeat and of course anyone would be happy with win and feel emotional increases when defeat occurs.
Maybe some wise gamblers will withdraw number of winnings and when they lose they will immediately walk away from gambling and forget about it to avoid feelings of disappointment, but only few gamblers do this.
Most gamblers when they win they try to get much bigger win and risk all their winnings and when they experience loss there will be feeling of not being able to accept it and then trying to recover the loss.
This is an attitude that is always present and possessed by most gamblers, so far it has not been proven that many gamblers can avoid it and have wiser attitude.

Defeat is something that is bound to happen and victory is just luck that returns the amount of money that has been lost.
Every gambler must be able to understand it, they must be able to take appropriate and measurable actions when they win or lose.
If these two outcomes of gambling cannot be handled properly, they will only lead gamblers into quite complicated problems.

The longer they gamble and experience more and more losses, the greater the disappointment will be, and that will affect them. And that's why, if you don't want to experience prolonged disappointment, you should always limit your gambling games and leave the casino immediately if you've had enough. But we will definitely be happy if we win, and it will also influence us so that we will be happy, and this makes some gamblers overly happy. If they don't stop gambling and continue playing other gambling games, the excitement will disappear because they will experience loss. If that happens, the person will not be able to enjoy the joy he got from the previous win but will turn frustration, so this can make him want to gamble again and recover his losses.

Losing is something that gamblers will accept. Although some gamblers can win, they cannot always win every time they gamble, so they must realize that if they win, they must immediately stop gambling. Stopping himself from gambling will prevent him from experiencing increased emotions, especially if the next round he loses, which can affect everything, including his emotions. That is why we must be able to control ourselves well so that we are not affected by anything, including when we win or lose.

Usually, if I win a lot that day, maybe the joy of winning will last for 1 day or less, depending on whether I have a loss streak or not on that day. However, if I get the jackpot, maybe the joy will last for more than a day, even if I lose, which is very normal in slot games or sportsbooks to lose. So depending on the size of the win, perhaps the joy will last longer than small wins.

Yes, that's true, everything depends on the amount of winnings and bets, the bigger it is, the longer the happiness will be felt, if the amount of the bet is small, of course the faster the feeling of happiness will disappear, but I'm not the type of gambler who feels happiness when winning and losing because I usually After gambling, I feel happy and happy without having to feel like I've won, let alone lost.

That's why maybe people chase money in gambling so that everything is measured by the number of wins they get to feel happiness even though it is clear that gambling is fun and without people feeling victory, after gambling they should feel a feeling of satisfaction and happiness, but it all depends on the use of patterns. human thoughts, because that will also determine our true feelings.

It is natural to feel happy when you win. Any gambler gets excited when he wins a bet. But of course, if the stakes are significant, that pleasure increases. There is no change in gamblers even if they win low stake bets. But in most cases the tendency to gamble on winning increases as well as the mind is buoyant. I am elated after such a win. But that doesn't last long because when I place the next bet I forget my previous win because my next bet makes me excited. If we win, there is great joy and if we lose, we forget the previous victory. This is how my gambling continues and since it is an ongoing process I think the same thing happens to most gamblers.

it depends on how long the winning money has not been used up. Everyone has different winnings and ways to spend money from winnings. If you give it to people around you or your family, maybe you will only get a little pleasure and after that, it will be gone.
It may be different if you buy money from the winnings of an asset or item. maybe the feeling of pleasure when you can enjoy or use the item can last longer.
I usually don't pull it all out. but when the win is big enough, I will leave the game first, leaving some balance that I will play with at a later date. I always use limited capital to bet. so I will take the rest and enjoy it my way.

In my experience, losing at gambling doesn't hurt as much because I don't focus on winning, instead, I bet with the intention of winning or losing, so when I lose, it doesn't hurt as much. Those who hurt as much until they win or bet on another game, i think they depend on their winning, which is very bad because we should understand that gambling is meant to be for fun and that there will always be losses in addition to wins. I believe that if we remove our minds out from the winning we are expecting, then losing won't hurt us. Although there's something involve in gambling that, if you don't become addicted to it, would make losing seem like a joke, even with that, the joy that comes with winning will make you forget all the money you lost.
 
That was very generous of you, though not all of us behave the same way. Some gamble alone, hurt alone when they lose, so even when they win, they can only enjoy their money by themselves. You don't mind the money you lose from gambling, and you still give to those around you when you win.

It matters from the amount of bets made also. If we play quick games like slots, dice, crash and etc, when each game session is short, then we dont have much time to feel real joy from every round we have.

Personally, I would feel more joy if my bet would be large and I have won with low risk, compared to smaller bet and higher risk. For example placing $1000 and winning with 1.05 odd would make me more happy, then placing $10 and winning another x5. Same final result, but the stress from first bet would be higher and would bring me more joy.
