Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it?

[Lorence.xD]

We all know that gambling sometimes can be fun and something not, even if we  blatantly claim here that we do gamble alone for the fun purpose 🙄🙄. Truth be told majority of person actually gamble because of the possibility that they can earn some profits from the act and as we all know it , not all the time the end result is what we expected. Although am not an addicted gambler but I can say I do my fair share of gambling activities sometimes and what I have observed is that sometimes I actually make some hard calls that turn out to be fruitful when ever am tenced but the results may differ for different individuals though.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

Gambling under pressure is dangerous and shouldn't be considered a habit. We are talking about money here.

The moment you start a gambling session, you should have a calm mind and relax. Thinking too much will distract you and the focus will also be wrecked. If a gambler has that kind of thinking, staying away from gambling should be considered now. Don't stress yourself on something very risky if you feel pressured while gambling.

It's common to feel intense and excited once we take risks but to feel pressure after doing that, it's a different story.

Exactly, if you are under pressure, your decision-making and choices are most likely based on your emotions, not already into logical thinking that can cause unwise calls. This kind of scenario of feeling pressured could even get worse which leads to addiction as well, cause if you can't even control your emotions and feelings, you would just keep playing with pressure. You are much more focused on the feeling of pressure, and your mind doesn't think straight, of course, there is a possibility that you can still win with the help of tension feeling, but that ain't always right, it is still better to have judgment with proper thinking as well calm. The fun and thrilling effects would be always there but I think that also counts cause sometimes people might get too excited and would bet huge amounts.

gambling under pressure is really unpleasant, our minds really seem to be split in two, we are told to choose what is good for us at that moment, but on average those who lose in gambling are those who gamble under pressure such as pressure to keep winning, pressure to continue gambling, and pressure to return the capital lost at the start.  all high expectations in gambling must be reduced, lest when we have tried as hard as possible to spend time to continue playing and have also tried to spend a lot of money, the end result of our gambling is a loss.  Gambling with money that we can afford to lose is also very good, it lowers your pressure level when gambling.

I would agree with you that if a person gambles under pressure then he is more likely to lose. He cannot know at that time exactly which he will accept and which he will let go. Gamblers tend to overthink and over analyze when they are under financial pressure, but they are at a loss when it comes to decision-making, and I have found this to be in my own case. When I really need to win there is a lot of pressure on my bets, I play to win rather than lose. A gambler cannot win if he is not gambling from a healthy and normal level. A healthy person can make relatively good decisions in any situation, which is much harder to do under pressure.

Its a bit strange but I appreciate your statement because even though there are so many gamblers who do this because they are pressured by something they have to force themselves to gamble but remember that anyone here  not advised to gamble under pressure or just gamble under duress.

It's best not to ever try it because I once tried it when I first got to know gambling, trying to gamble under pressure and pushing myself too hard at the wrong time to gamble, therefore the end result was that I lost more money than I imagined, that's why don't being too reckless when gambling, such as playing in entertainment venues, enjoying the game, never force yourself, let alone be pressured by conditions that make it impossible to gamble.

Avoid all risks by playing gambling that is too stressful so that you can really focus on gambling without being under pressure which makes everything fall apart, make sure you feel good when gambling and the most important thing is to always be conscious when gambling because most gamblers don't feel self-aware. that they gambled and lost a lot of money in that gambling.

as I said, it is not recommended and avoided for anyone if you feel stressed and we must remember that gambling must be done comfortably so that we can feel the pleasure we want, whereas in fact gambling was built to provide a place for customers to look for pleasure and it seems like there is no point if gamble under any pressure because all you have to feel is pleasure but it turns into regret after forcing yourself to gamble under that pressure.

whatever you have done, I appreciate you because it was very valuable experience so that you dont do it again and my advice is that if you feel your mind is uncomfortable, avoid gambling and go looking for entertainment with your friends or look for other entertainment places that dont have risk of losing money is too great.

I'm saying this honestly, I've also experienced the same thing as you, but I did this repeatedly when I was still bad gambler, forcing myself to bet even though I was doubtful and forcing myself when my mind was disturbed, in the end I couldn't stop chasing losses because the pressure makes my mind emotional and difficult to control.
however, from this experience I became better currently I have bad experience but in the future it will be a very valuable experience and indeed gambling must be done in healthy state of mind without any distractions and without any pressure.
once again I will just say that anyone should always avoid gambling if they feel uncomfortable when gambling.

Thanks for being honest and sharing your story. Its a reflection of my gambling journey. Gambling should be fun, not stressful. When it becomes a burden, walk back.

Gambling affects our mental health, so we must acknowledge it. Not only the money, but how we feel when playing. A disturbed mentality may make even the most harmless gamble unpleasant, as I've discovered the hard way. Better to stop and wait than drive in a storm.

Your suggestion to seek alternate entertainment changes everything. With so many risk-free methods to enjoy fun, why limit ourselves to gambling? I look for activities that make me happy without remorse. Having a good balance is key, whether its a night out with friends or a new pastime.

We should avoid gambling when we are under pressure. This is something we have to maintain for sure. But yeah when a risk is taken in gambling, I believe most of the gambler's feelings are the same. And it's always challenging when we gamble under pressure. But we can manage the risk if we set a limit, a clear budget, and a clear understanding of the odds.

[danherbias07]

It's part of being a gambler to take the risk even if it's an occasional thing.

Just recently I have been losing in Keno with a low amount of bet. So what I did was take it up one more notch by doubling the bet. I left it for an hour on an auto-bet feature while I was doing something else. (I actually forgot it was running.) Luckily, it went green and I was shocked I was winning and almost doubled my capital.
The sad part of the story is I got greedy. I thought I could repeat it so I increased my bet one more time. But it didn't end well for me as it took every profit that I made and worse, took a part of my capital because I was chasing my losses.
Sure, the tension can sometimes do us good as we decide to take the higher risk but it will not be every time that it will end well for us. Actually, it's the other way around, the end results could be worse most of the time because of the house edge.
I've been gambling for almost the whole day now but I could say that a winning streak is shorter than a losing streak. I had 40k bets in Plinko and I still haven't hit the x1000. That says it all.

As an experienced gambler who has been gambling for many years, I can authoritatively tell anyone who wants to gamble not to do that when he's under any form of pressure or tension. When a gambler is under tension, he's very unlikely to make wise decision that'll see him win his stakes thereby makes him to lose more than he would when he's not under any tension.

So whenever a gambler is under any form of tension, the best thing to do at that moment is to quit gambling at that particular moment in other not to lose badly in his gambling engagement

[dezoel]

Depends on what is your play style. If you are playing for profit, well that is true that some times it is fun and sometimes not, because not all times we can make a good amounts of profit. But if we are only playing for fun, gambling is going to be fun at all times. If you won't still agree with that, maybe you are playing the same game for too long? So, you find it boring. But, there are now tons of games that are being offered by most casinos. So, why stick only with one game?

My play style in gambling is dual. Sometimes I play for fun and the other times I play for profit. I experience to be in a tension scenario and still decides to continue. Sometimes my result is positive and sometimes not. I still won't say it's worth it.

[coolcoinz]

I gamble for fun and it's never under stress. When it becomes stressful for me I know it's time to stop. What I like in betting is the excitement when you watch a game and wait for the results, especially when it looks like you're going to win. I don't like sudden results but rather prefer when it slowly tips in my favor.

I feel this tension when I invest and I've learned that there are two things that mainly drive it.
1. Putting money on the line that you're afraid to lose.
2. Having high hopes, already planning what you'll do with the profit.

I'm sure it's very similar for those who gamble under pressure.

[Dewi Aries]

I will not fully disagree with your opinion. Because sometimes it worth to take some risk. But we have to remind that or keep in mind that gambling is all about the luck. So the result can be both win and loss. And taking a decision from the pressure I think it is one kind of gambling based on emotions and with emotions I don't think is a proper way to play gambling. It can be more riskier for your fund.

All gambling is an act of risk taking actually, and for the problem of high or low risk that will be taken it all depends on the willingness of each gambler, sometimes there are also many of those who are not able to take responsibility for high risk but instead take / do it and usually they are people who are quasi-emotional. The realization that gambling is just an activity for profit will only exist in the mind of someone who understands what gambling really is along with some of the opportunities and possible risks that are there, on the other hand it is very clear as I said above that they pretend to be able to take high risks when all decisions are out of emotion due to the pressure of previous defeats, and I would call them gamblers who do not have the responsibility and correct understanding of gambling, it is very clear that we can conclude this from the approach they take.

Risks do appear at the cause of gambling, but the actions of the gambler depends on what led to the reason why he decided to take a risk. Knowing fully well that taking risks while gambling wouldn't be the best option, as his win may not be assured. I can remember going all in while playing board games, sometimes it's worth the risk, but losing is the worse scenerio of moving all in. Regardless of the losses, taking risks while gambling can as well be rewarding. Advising people to follow such strategies wouldn't be the right decision. So, I'd say that players need to understand the condition of whatever action they're to make while gambling. And also get ready to take full responsibility if the money lost is too huge. Those who gamble out of emotions, mostly behave like this, hoping to win big in the process and recover all they've lost in one bet. The few times it works, could lead the player to gamble more and spend lots of money in the process, which yields regrets.

In my personal opinion one of the reasons or causes they dare to take high levels of risk is because it is all based on emotions, and maybe some people here already know about this, on the other hand I am sure that actually they are not ready to face the risk of losing if they put a larger amount, but as we know that emotions often make decisions that are not based on careful consideration so regret is no longer a strange thing that will happen at the end of the session.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure that people who are desperate to take high risks or even go all in like you did are those who are experiencing emotions because of something or those who are too tempted by the existence of a very large winning opportunity so that it is like a motivation for them to do something that actually if it doesn't suit them in the final session they can't afford it, you have said that defeat is the worst scenario when you go all in and I hope you don't do it again unless it's just for experimenting occasionally. Actually, it all comes back to each individual about whether they understand the concept of how gambling works or not, if indeed they understand the opportunities and risks then feel free to bet with large amounts on the condition that you can be responsible at the end of the session.

Truth be told majority of person actually gamble because of the possibility that they can earn some profits from the act and as we all know it , not all the time the end result is what we expected.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

Of course you gamble because you feel you can make profits off it, that’s where the fun is, the fact that you could actually profit or lose and not taking it for a profession or some sort of job or lifeline to run your life on. You don’t, it’s not a source of income and shouldn’t be viewed as such.

Well being pressured to gamble based on circumstances of the lose you’ve acquired or just don’t want to loose out on the opportunity to take part in a round is one means to lose in gambling. I say this out of personal experience because, it ignores reason and you just go in without making certain considerations to making a bet.

I see it to be a bad idea. Though gambling my be mainly pegged on luck, you’ve got to give it some look into the possibility and presiding outcomes/stats as well.

[passwordnow]

If it's sometimes then I'd say it a yes but I don't want to get any tension when I gamble because it's going to affect everything and I don't feel being pressured at all. I gamble to make myself belief that I am at a right pace and mind that soon I'd win some money and if not, as long as I'm not in pressure, that's fine. I don't know about you guys when you are tensioned and feel the pressure if it makes you better or make luck comes close to you.

To me, it doesn't go like that.

I see it to be a bad idea. Though gambling my be mainly pegged on luck, you’ve got to give it some look into the possibility and presiding outcomes/stats as well.

I agree, it's also the same for me. I think it's a bad thing when we gamble because instead of having a clear mind when we do it, we've got some circumstances thinking about while we gamble and that's giving us the pressure and cutting our thoughts instead of being focused.

I think these are the pressuring factors especially that of number two in the list. If you have something that you are looking up to for the money that you have not gotten but on only potential, you will surely be in such a pressure as you are already calculating what to do with the money. Majority of gamblers have this in mind, to already prepare in their mind what they want to do with bet profit and if that fails they start feeling angry. A reason for this is that gambling for fun is not really what we do and that is why the pressure to win is there.

[BitcoinPanther]

Although am not an addicted gambler but I can say I do my fair share of gambling activities sometimes and what I have observed is that sometimes I actually make some hard calls that turn out to be fruitful when ever am tenced but the results may differ for different individuals though.

You just got lucky, and yes one's fortune is another one's misfortune. That is gambling for us.  We cannot duplicate other players result and we also cannot duplicate our gambling winning experience since gambling results is random, it might be higher or lower, worst winning won't come at all.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

I don't feel any pressure when gambling, it is not that I am already used to losing but I already accepted the fact the money use in gambling can be lost anytime.  Only players that are betting what they can't afford to lose will feel the pressure.

[blockman]

gambling under pressure is really unpleasant, our minds really seem to be split in two

This is correct and that's why I don't do that and I feel like being pressured is just going to lead you to more losses and you'll be more emotional that you should do your best when you're at that state. And that's the reason why it's best not to gamble when feeling is on that rate.

It always depends on what kind of situation is a gambler in. Let's say his wife needs surgery and he needs to pay the hospital a huge amount of money and so he gambles in hopes he could win that amount. Without surgery, his wife dies. This kind of pressure is just not gonna make your head clearer for the whole month.

I don't think that it is a good example to get pressured and have that tension. You know that your wife needs a surgery and you need money, I know that gambling is giving you a chance but I will thought of it as the last resort if there's really no help at all. On this case, I wouldn't gamble the life of my wife and be dependent on the results whether I win, she'll get to live and if I lose then she'll lose her life. That's a terrible idea that you've mentioned about being tensioned when someone's life is between life and death. Definitely that you'll get pressured when your wife is dead and your wrong decision making is the entire cause of it.

OP could just be that lucky but more than often a gambler who takes risks playing while under pressure will not be able to think wisely in decision making.

It's easy to say to become lucky but you can't dictate when you'll be lucky.

[darkangel11]

There is no need playing gamble under pressure. Pressure cam be a way of quick loose. because Whatever is don under pressure is always at stake. Or have higher risk attached to it. If you want to play gaime and you feel you are under pressure its better you leave it and play next time than continue. The spirit works with the mind and doubting your mind some times can be disastrous.

There was a day I was trying to play game but I was not in a good state of mind, I decided to play the game, I played what I didn't expect. after I played the game was when i saw that I have made mistake by adding a club I did wanted to include.

That's also how I feel about this subject. Take things slow, make sure that's what you want to bet on, maybe even sleep on it and it's easy when you make sport bets because you get a chance to place a bet days if not weeks before the event. When you feel like you're getting nervous, take your time or skip a round.
I used to play poker a lot and it's a game of risk, but when you start sweating, get nervous, feel like you're running out of money and should go all in, it's usually best to stop playing. Even if you win that round by going all in, you're not going to do well if you stay in the game.

[chaser15]

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

As much as possible, I want my gambling moment in a usual and relaxed state.

If I allow myself to become under pressure while gambling, it will just affect my decision during the game. Like for example, I'm in a spot where I'm thinking toe; if I want to increase my bet, if I want to turn on the added boost, if I want to activate a buy feature that is expensive, and many more.

Once you play gambling, just go with the flow. There are tempting good features we can encounter in the game, especially in most slot games but on the other hand, expect those features might not meet our expected result.

Yup! The pressure is definitely on when I gamble as I tend to gamble on in shorter time spans with higher bets, and for the most part I subject myself to time constraints and all that shit to give myself the adrenaline rush that I need to get going. And while for the most part it wasn't as fruitful as I hope it would be, there are instances that my bets pay off pretty well. Higher bets means higher winnings as they say, but personally I wouldn't recommend this type of playstyle to anyone as well. It's too risky, and very stressful which is definitely not for everyone, as it's either go big or go home for them which makes it less enjoyable as they can't really savor their whole gambling session, or it could become a gateway for them to be subjected into gambling addiction courtesy of revenge gambling.

But the thing about responsible gambling is that you don't necessarily have to always gamble in low amounts or whatever, it all boils down to making sure that you don't spend beyond your means, and that you don't just gamble willy-nilly. There's still some level of self-control per se. Once all you took care of all these and are able to successfully master yourself, you should have a good grasp of how you gamble and spend your bets even if you do go "over the top" as some people put it.

[OgNasty]

I can't relate to gambling under pressure or being tense while gambling.  I do it for fun and entertainment.  If it stops being fun and entertaining then I find something else to do.  It's that simple.  Considering I'm not the most easily entertained individual, my gambling forays usually don't last too long.  If I were becoming tense or frustrated, it would definitely end immediately.  If anyone can relate to OP saying things are tense and sometimes they have to keep going and take risks, gambling probably isn't for you.  Maybe try a form of entertainment where you won't lose all your money with bad decisions like video games.

[GideonGono]

There are times before that I would gamble when I am stress or feeling down, and on those times I would win and it would either brighten up my day or just feel like a normal thing happened to me.
I remember gambling on those times help me a lot to escape from stress or my problems even if it is just for awhile.

[rhomelmabini]

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

From experience I think it's more likely to lose considering you'd likely be tense by the pressure. I'd tend to not play during these because it's even more risky to think that you'll just wasting that money to a bet that would considerably lead to a lose.
