When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Kasabus]

Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.

That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

You can solve the problem with discipline and determination of not going against your gambling plan. A plan of having a budget every week of about 1 to 5% of your weekly income to be for gambling which you can afford to lose. If you have lost all, stop gambling for that week.

You have known that while losing in gambling, you are more vulnerable to more losses, you also really need to be disciplined about this. When you are losing little already while gambling, just stop. It is happening to all gamblers but we discipline ourselves by stopping to gamble at that time until we have the right mind to gamble again which can be the next day or week.

Sometimes when gambling I’ve been faced with the same thoughts before - but never have I done it despite all the thoughts.

As long as it has to do with gambling raising your bet does not increase your chance of winning so it won’t be wise for me to increase my bet just because I lost the previous one, if anything I’d want to keep it that way or lower it so that my bank roll will last for a longer time.

For your case you’ll have to train yourself to stop doing that – because if you continue that way you’re sure going to turn your gambling into something entirely different. Acts like that are what makes people bet money they can’t afford to lose thinking that since they lost their last game they might just be lucky once they stake that money [that they can’t afford to lose]. Just try not to think too much when you’re losing keep on a fixed amount or lower it if possible don’t go vice versa.

To me, learning when to stop your gambling is the best thing that you can do if you're the emotional kind of gambler. That's probably the key, you can enjoy it for how long you want and with the ability to be able to stop when you want to stop then, you're probably going to get that fun feeling within you of having a sense of control over the things that you're doing and it will go towards your other things, you will become a better person overall. You also need to learn when to stop when it comes to winning, it will depend on you, if you want to stop at X times of plays before you quit or you have to win X amounts of money before you quit, the choice is entirely yours as both choice is dependent on what game you're playing, you can't really quit at X times with slots, you want to do X amounts there to satisfy your gambling craving so be smart about what you need to do and you will be fine.

It's not easy to solve since your enemy is yourself. As the experts said, you need to be in control to be able to follow your game plan. A very detailed and could be a working game plan is useless if you allow your emotion to sink in. Just like you observation, when emotion are already taking over, you'll likely make a decisions that you'll regret in the end, don't do that, because it's like making the same mistakes over and over again, instead of learning from it.

We are just humans, so it's understandable that sometimes we make mistakes, but bro, you need some discipline, without that you won't be able to manage the risk in gambling. Do you know that gambling is a high risk activity? Higher than the real investment, so you need to be careful here as you are handling your finances and you don't want yourself to end up being homeless.

I have experienced being emotional, when I bet $5 and then I was able to multiply it to $50 in a few sports bets then I was ambitious to place a bigger bet on the favorite team such as odds 1.40 but actually lost and this became emotional instantly, then I thought why not just withdraw the money including because of greed then this is difficult to do.

But thinking again if it is ignited in emotion then this is not spent there is even a thought of losing money so just let it go and don't care about it anymore.
Because I lost the one that had doubled bigger but lost because of greed.

That's a lesson and a challenge now, but now I'm more disciplined not to be overly emotional because for me it's natural to be emotional after losing.

It has been proven already that being emotional in gambling and trading often leads to losing money big time.
If you are being emotional and gambling then it's common to lose money because of chasing losses.
To control this, all you have to do is stop gambling if you are losing money continuously.
You should have patience and observe your bets and if you lose 4-6 bets continuously then just stop gambling for the day and come back later.

We kinda have that similar situation but it matters on how you adjust on situation since if you let yourself eaten by your emotion while gambling for sure you will end up losing again. Its important to know our goals towards gambling so that we have something to expect and if we hit it then we all settle up since we already hit our certain threshold.

Proper planning also together with good experience is really needed so that we can overcome all of this.

But also for sure once they gain a lot of experience on gambling for sure all this frustration comes from losing or other thing factor that can cause you emotional breakdown can be cover up or eliminated then it will be changed into positive approach towards how you play.

[Solosanz]

That's a sign of gambling addict, it's better if you seek a professional to solve your emotional problem.

People in this forum are from different backgrounds, not all are taking psychological or medical degree, so we don't know what's the best solution to solve that.

Do you know that gambling is a high risk activity? Higher than the real investment, so you need to be careful here as you are handling your finances and you don't want yourself to end up being homeless.

A real investment has no risk since it's the only way to escape from scammer who always steal your money everyday without you notice it (inflation).

I don't double my bets but I do chase my losses on the same amount. I think that is normal in a gambler who likes to get his revenge.
Doubling the bet though will rekt you faster and I don't recommend that. The usual ending is losing all your money with only regrets left on you.
I know it's hard to control because I've been there many times over and over and I still do it sometimes. I say this just to warn other people and I hope they will find a way to discipline themselves and try not to be emotional with their bets. It's a difficult feat but if we can do it then we might become a better gambler who keeps the importance of what we spend.

Anyway, it's always at the losing part where our minds are clouded. Yes, that's where the struggle begins and actually I have tried different ways to end the losing streak but any games I jumped it's the same result or it will make things worse. Just keep it on a mild betting amount and see if you will feel less pain and regret if you do it. Forget whatever you lose, it's not easy to get it back. That's how online gambling is especially in casino games.

The problem of losing control leads to wrong actions, and that is like a natural reflex. Putting the problem from this perspective, why lose control? Because of the loss, why continue to lose money? Because you're stupid, unlucky,... but definitely because of you. And the story will be associated with gambling, we think that we can freely play it because of the attractive things around it, but only the wrong action will make us pay the price.

I'm not the type of person to stress about winning/losing, because it's all about experience that we need to be exposed to and then it's a choice. You want to win, you don't want to lose, there is no fixed formula because it's pure randomness. So learn to accept the results and be aware of the need to adapt to it from the beginning. One thing that I quite notice is that gambling is only really stressful when you are no longer in control, or rather it is signs of addiction, and such manifestations should be avoided with similar games not just gambling, as the loss of control occurs through other things.

For some people, been emotional makes them so powerless and there is nothing they can do about it, for such people I advice them to either get discipline or quit gambling, I believe the reason why I am always in control of myself when gambling is because I don't have any emotional feelings in gambling, many people are embracing gambling but for me I am scared of the disadvantages of gambling.

The chances that gambling can break you is higher than the chances that gambling can make you, understanding gambling is understanding it's risks too, this will make you erase any desires and emotions towards gambling, if you don't expect any financial breakthrough when gambling you will become disciplined and risk the true amount you can afford to lose.

So many people are far from reality that's why they can't be disciplined when gambling, they want the impossible dreams from the impossible channels even when the chances are too slim.

[Hirose UK]

Of course, not only you but also most gamblers will definitely feel the same challenges in the face of risks that occur.
Losing sometimes makes gamblers experience anxiety and adrenaline which is much more challenging because they are on the verge of losing.
We must be able to prepare ourselves for every risk and also the results that will occur.

That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

My only advice is to use money that you can really afford to lose, don't think about using savings or money that you use to meet your living needs because that will put pressure on you when you are on the verge of losing.
And of course, when loss occurs, you have to be really patient and immediately leave the gambling site and never think about trying to recover from the loss.
No gambler will be able to truly win challenge like this and of course it will be difficult to realize the hopes that have involved many risks.

Before gambling, you should first make sure that you really understand all the meaning of gambling itself. If you are ready to win then you must be ready to lose. Likewise, when you are ready to win money, you must also be prepared to lose money. That is how we understand it properly. The thing about gambling is that there are all risks involved, that's why the average person who doesn't accept defeat means he doesn't understand the gambling he is playing. even though in gambling it's not just about winning.

That's why it's always important to limit your budget before gambling so that when the budget runs out it's best to stop gambling and then switch to other hobbies or other activities that are more positive, gambling if you don't limit your budget properly then whenever we will continue to gamble and chase to recover previous losses until playing gambling beyond limits, many people are addicted to gambling and it is difficult to cure it because the initial symptom is that they cannot accept the losses they experience. That's why I always focus on limiting my gambling budget according to the income I get, at least less than 5% and that must be ready to be lost, not money that should be used for living needs. learn to control yourself and not need to be emotional in order to enjoy the game well.

Most time I'm life, being emotional is something that everyone would see as Normal. When it comes to gambling or anything that do with investment, we should tend to be less emotional and be strong enough to bear risk and keep trying. Making losses in gambling is something that is inevitable. So as a gambler, you should expect to see loses most times and when this happens you just have to move on.
If we because of our loss get out of control, we might make wrong decisions that will lead to more losses. You shouldn't chase after you loss when it's come to gambling but try to learn from it. Every single time you make a loss, you should be aware that it was just luck that ran out of your side and don't be too emotional.

When I am over confident I make a stupid move and the result will be losing my capital fully. This always happens to me when I am playing crash. I have now stopped playing it because of my stupidity. I would always start with low bets and after a point when I am getting decent multipliers, I would suddenly place a big bet and the next thing that happens to me is that it gets crashed. It has happened to me in so many times and later on I realized that after a certain point I tend to become overconfident. This risky approach has costed me a good amount of money and for the time being I am planning to take a break from gambling.

Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel?

Yes! And I think most of us do. It is prone to making wrong decisions when we are emotional so it is not advisable to play when you feel it. The best thing to do is to take rest or relax and get food to treat yourself allowing yourself and mind to cool down.

When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat?

This happened to me once and I will never do it again since I lose even more than normal. We all know that there is really no assurance of winning when we place double from our bets.

Do you consider this a problem?

Of course it is a problem as it might bother you during the game. It might also cause you negative consequences in the long run.

If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

Of course just make sure you are physically and mentally fit when gambling so you will enjoy the game.

It is difficult to stick to your stake when you gamble with emotions. As a gambler, it is difficult to leave after losing especially when you still have money to try again. Experience shows that people only leave the gambling house when they have no money left to gamble. It takes discipline to lose and still leaves even when there is still money in the pocket. There is a story of an apprentice who went to a gambling house with his boss's money with the hope of multiplying it. He was into virtual betting. He had $500 then he played a bet with $20, and he lost. Played again with $20, he lost. Instead of leaving, he started increasing his stake since he believed that it would be easy to recover from his loss by increasing his stake. He continued like that until he exhausted the money.

I am a victim of this behavior but then I have tried to control this behavior by ensuring that before I gamble I settle my bills. If I don`t settle my bills, I will end up using it to gamble. Self-control is not guaranteed for me when I am losing and my mind will become preoccupied with recovering the funds lost thereby losing all I have got. Emotional gamblers are always losers and disheartening is the fact that they only tend to remember their wins without considering that they have even lost more in their quest to recoup their losses.

[bitbollo]

If you lost when you're emotional it's pretty normal. Everyone is already aware of that and it applies to any plaer.
