When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Barikui1]

Gambles responsible as it's written in their slogan, I want  you  to understand that you can't be emotional if you are gambling with what you can afford to lose, emotions only come in place when you place a bet with a money you can't afford to lose,   and when you are in an emotional state, you start making reckless decisions, you start doing things you wouldn't have done normally and you also start chasing your loss which I believe is the end game of any money you have with you there, so always try to gamble with what you can afford to lose, so that you wouldn't be emotional.

In this case, the solution is to allow yourself to lose sometimes. In fact, there is nothing dramatic about this. If losing is what causes you to start playing erratically, even though there is nothing fatal about a small number of losses, then you need to start allowing yourself to lose a little sometimes. Losses are part of the game, you can’t hide from them. But we need risk—management that would protect us from the consequences of these losses. I know that no one wants to lose. But, for example, no one wants to repair a car or pay for parking or pay fines. Everyone just wants to drive a car. But driving a car without paying fines does not happen.

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.

I think we all have experienced such an event, sometimes it's really hard to fight our emotions especially when we are at the peak of winning and losing. there are times when you think too much about your game, so instead of winning, it's as if you're wishing for luck to come and in the end you'll just lose.
When that's the case, what I always do is think carefully first and try to control my mind as much as I can, because I'm also one of the impulsive type of person, I often just go ahead with the things I want to do without thinking the consequences, but now, even though it's hard to do, I always put self-control in my mind.

You need to learn how to use your emotions for good instead of evil. For example, you’ve identified a time when you will apparently always lose. Use that to your advantage and when you feel emotional, don’t gamble. Think of this as a gift. You’ve learned when not to gamble. Used right, that’s got to increase your chances of winning.

If you are emotional in gambling, and these emotions are not positive or lead to losing, then have you considered that gambling is not for you? Just theoretically, gambling does not suit for everyone, and those who cant control their emotions are the weakest to fell victim of addiction or losing everything. On one hand it is good that you dont accept defeat in your life and go "till the end". On the other hand, that quality is totally unacceptable in gambling. It might sound hard, but consider stopping gambling, or find a trusted mentor that will stop you when you go to far.

[Accardo]

Try harder not to let it get to a stage where you'd find it difficult to quit even when winning. The behavioral changes you are feeling needs you to take a rest. Don't gamble for some time. Because when you find it hard to stop when losing it's the main problem. Not about stopping after winning. Losses come more than winning. That means you'd lose more during the process and think all is right since you can easily stop if there is eventually a win. Playing games with your emotions also affects how you think. Sentiments doesn't work in gambling. Do what you think should be done, to escape addiction or problem gambling. If taking a break from gambling could change you, then do it without delay. Resume back once you've taken over your emotions and able to control the actions you take. However, it's always difficult for one to escape alone from such a trouble. Opening up to close friends or family would be right. Goodluck with finding a solution.

Your problem comes from not having a fixed budget for gambling which you can afford to lose,therefore when you start losing you get too emotional because you care too much about your money and can't stand losing it.

Gambling should be a fun thing to do, a hobby. If you think about gambling as a way to increase your income, that's where all your problems come from. If you have a good period and win a lot, you'll also increase how much money you spend, creating a need to win even more money. If you start losing, your plans are ruined, you get emotional and you start to chase your losses. Now, gambling has become your main focus and you've lost control, all because you've started with the wrong preconceptions and wrong plan.

OP, you have to always be in charge of the game, don't allow your emotions to control you, chasing after loses can not make you win a bet rather it will make you lose more, this act will counting allow you to go for selections that you will lose at the end of the day, I have seen people say, when I make few selection with high staking power power I tend to win than when I selection more games with little stake, for me gambling is luck with little of you being conversant with your team but the truth is that, no matter the selections you make, any stake that will loss will definitely do so, no matter how good you think you are with selections, so when deciding on what to do in gambling desist from attaching emotions.

[Natsuu]

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.

Right. Having a budget keeps things in check. If you hit a losing streak, taking a break until you're feeling right about it again is the way to go. It's all about enjoying the game without messing up your finances.I hope OP wont get too hard on himself. It's already dofficult to acknowledge your gambling problems. I think it would be too hard for you to start gambling responsibly

[Marykeller]

The worst thing that can happen to a gambler is for them to become emotionally involved in their bets. This indicates that he or she does not have a goal for the total amount gained or lost on that particular day. In other words, the gambler is prepared to gamble all of their available funds for the day before surrendering.

This is the primary reason that every gambler needs to set aside the daily amount of money they are willing to risk for gambling in order to prevent getting emotional when they win or lose on a said day.

I have not had this type of experience and sincerely may not know how exactly to profer solution that may be proven effective to your resolving your problem , however I am I'll ask you use that same energy that you simply find ease with in quitting when you are making wins and liken it to the same as when you're losing. In other words, you can balance both sides using the winning mentality that makes you to easily quit when win to also apply it to when losing. Whatever you tell yourself when winning also use it to when losing and it will be helpful.

that's true, I'm sure all gamblers feel this way, when they win or lose. Many gamblers get emotional about the gambling they do so that it results in unavoidable losses. many gamblers insist on winning, even though it is clear that winning at gambling cannot be guaranteed, even if they want to win I think they have to have a good mindset, don't be easily tempted by anything in gambling that ends it all on their emotions, because not only Just gambling, anything done with emotion will not end well.

That's great, also everything that will be done in gambling must be considered as well as possible, don't let the actions that will be carried out make us emotional overflowing, because by considering and thinking about it carefully maybe we won't take careless actions, because Many gamblers take careless actions by not considering them well and not thinking about the risks that will occur with the actions they take.

This is basically what makes casinos and bookmakers so much money. If everyone made a single bet and the pain of losing was strong enough to deter them from doing it again, then the gambling business wouldn't be anywhere near as profitable as it is. However people can often not take being wrong, which is what a losing bet means, so they can tend to lash out and try to take revenge. However these companies aren't interested in revenge, they just crunch the numbers and let the math do the talking. Some people are also poor at controlling their anger, instead of trying to re-evaluate what went wrong and looking at themselves as the problem, they want to make their money back and also punish the gambling companies, but it doesn't work that way either.

This is a common story among many gamblers, you, me, we, have and often experience experiences like this. obviously, this is a problem if the money you use to make a deposit is not the money you should be betting on. unless you have healthy finances and it doesn't interfere with your family's economy and basic needs. If you, I, we are gamblers who are very experienced in gambling. We should be able to solve problems like this ourselves. How to ? This is a simple discussion but quite complicated to implement and carry out. however, at this point you should know that everyone has their own way of solving problems like this. but basically, the essence is the same.

For me, this is related to the way we think, everything comes back to being centered on our mindset and rational working. That's why I say, actually it's not that complicated if we talk about it. but in practice, it is difficult to implement. in short, understanding is the most important part. responsibility, becomes our benchmark in every excessive action. self-control, to stop excessive activity. conscious, is the part that involves the limitations we have. simple isn't it, but quite complicated to implement. but if we involve it as a whole and disciplined, then if you are at a point like this. you already know what you have to do.

About budget, yes, it's most likely to be effective if a gambler has a budget for his hobby, which is gambling. He should have an allocated budget that is meant for gambling, and money is okay if it's going to lose. Not just that, a gambler should also have discipline in limiting himself from going over his budget. If you've faced losses and all that allocated budget burns, the gambler should accept it and will never bet again. In short, no matter what the result, a gambler could still be sane and control his emotions, which is the primary cause of gamblers losing more money just because they can't control their emotions. But budgeting or allocating only money and discipline is not enough if the person itself should have no problem when it comes to their emotions, because a gambler who is emotionally unfit for gambling, which is stressful and risky, should avoid that thing.

[Dailyscript]

There is this pressure when I am losing that propels me to keep gambling until i recover all my money. I guess that is the same issue you are having, and it is difficult to control these emotions. When losing, a gambler feels the need to recover; maybe that's how these betting platforms make lots of money. This is because whenever a person loses, he has this feeling that if he played continuously, he might recover some, if not all, of the money he loses. They have this saying in their minds: never quit.

Let me first put it to you that I do not have any problem with gambling, I have lost in gambling, and that is normal, but letting it get to me in such a way that I will start misbehaving is what I do not give any chance. What I do is accept gambling as it is, no less, and that has helped me to face the reality of it. I know that I can lose or gain in it and that the possibility of losing is higher than winning, so I pursue it more carefully even as I manage my gambling account very strictly and myself as well through self-awareness, self-control and discipline. If you allow yourself to be infested by gambling, you will be badly affected, this is especially if you are focusing on the monetary aspect, you have to change it.

Gambling is not the avenue for you to be the next Bill Gates, neither is it the means to even give you that consistent income that many are positioning their minds to. It will not work that way. It is either you quit gambling altogether if you can't change that mindset because you will continue to lose and waste your money, or you change to a new life of gambling with a mind of neutrality and perhaps take it as an avenue where you can have your fun. If money comes out of it through this mindset, you will never be affected, and if it does, you won't still be affected. Also, limit the amount you bet per time, this is important as it hurts the most if lost.

I've been there - the joy of the game becomes a test of pride. Doesnt every loss become a personal challenge? I broke that cycle by imposing strong rules. Each session begins with a limit: how much Im willing to lose and a win aim that signals quit. I respect the game and myself with this method, not merely to limit losses.

I found it best to gamble as amusement rather than ego war. I remind myself to be cool with leaving. Gameplay includes losing, which is good. Focusing on fun rather than results helped me enjoy my time, regardless of results. Experience, laughter, and memories around the table or screen are what matter.

Please try this method. Before entering a casino, consider why you're there: fun, right? Gamble to enrich your life, not control it. Joy, enthusiasm, and community are our motivation. Keep fun gambling alive by mixing thrills with mindfulness and self-care.

Purchasing loses is a very serious challenge for gamblers. It is observed that most time when gamblers try to do this, they often lose more. When you lose, it better you cool down your brain, forget your loses and make a reasonable bet again without doubling your stake. I even reduce my stake most times in other not to cause another problem for me if it loses again. Gambling should be a game of fun not something casing problems.

[Yatsan]

Everytime you are having negative emotions like sadness, frustration, and the likes, you would often push your luck until you win without being aware of how big the loss is becoming. We should always keep in mind to never let our emotions take over or to let our emotions play for us because negative consequences will be more likely disregarded. Accept that there will be times you are losing. If you're pissed of what happened on your day, avoid playing. Your emotion will just be diverted to gambling and will just create another problem on your end. Take a pause and engage to other activities that will ease your mind and will kill your time. You'd be more pissed of almost everything once you suffered from huge loss instead of calming down.

Just like in the middle of argument. Your emotions will be at its peak which will push you to say things you don't relly mean and if we would associate it with gambling., those unecessary words will be frustrated bets. Given that losing is more likely to happen, what should we expect? You won't be satisfied with both your profit and loss whenever you are being emotional. You will be impulsive 'coz you are more focused with the act of just betting and not minding what could happen on your bankroll. Always have self awareness whenever you are betting especially if you care with the money you are depositing. If you hope to not be in huge loss, which is simply another negative emotion, then be careful.
