When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Gozie51]

However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.

This is the spirit of not believing in losing because when you lose, you will be angry and keep playing to recover what you have lost but if you don't have that kind of mentality then if you lose you will not struggle but accept defeat.

Another thing about that is if you are losing, you are mostly likely to lose your concentration on your strategy because you will be doubting your strategy and keep changing strategy. Losing and chasing it back distort your plans so that is the reason for struggling but to have that spirit of understanding that you win and you lose is going to take you away from such predicament.

You are right, Gozie51, he lacks some control while losing, due to the doubt in him of what could be next. The player gets eager to see what's next till he gets emotionally depressed. Understanding that it's normal to lose in gambling, is a competent reminder for minimizing the wagering amount. But only few gamblers would go through such route as chasing loss without complaining. It's not a simple gambling journey, although minimized expenses would help the gambler not to regret his actions, players still wager high amount hoping for a next big win. Not only that it gets depressing to consistently lose money without profit, but that's also not what anybody want. Humans don't like what they don't want, when something they don't want keeps occurring to them, the person will most likely get sad and worried. Gambling by offering winning chances, made it hard for the person to stop receiving what he doesn't want, losses.

When you're gambling, controlling your emotions is essential. You can win small amounts of money all day long and then place a bet, turning on your emotions, and lose everything. It is very good to bet in a meditative state, listening to your inner voice

[KTChampions]

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 forgot to write what happens to you when you keep your emotions under control. Maybe you win more often in this case? If not, maybe it’s not a matter of emotions? 
As for the solution to this problem, in my opinion it is simple: do not engage in gambling. For example, I am an emotional person (not in gambling), so in order to avoid problems associated with this, I simply avoid situations where my emotions can let me down. Quite boring advice but it works.

There is always the determination to chase losses because you might have the feeling that staking more might make you win. I have been in this situation severally and most time I didn't recover my losses. From my experience, I have realized that it is not always attainable to recover losses because the house always has the biggest edge. So I have learned to follow a gambling budget or plan and not be distracted by the outcome of my games. Immediately I reach my gambling benchmark for the day or period I will quietly sign out or leave the physical casino. I believe that one lucky day can make me recover all I have lost so I don't need to chase losses.

I know how you feel. I have been here before, but I did not allow it to happen to me twice after the kind of loss I experienced that day in gambling.
 
One of the worst pains of it all was that I went into the casino with a very little amount—less than a dollar in my local currency—but while I was playing, I doubled the money up to $50–$70. I can't recall the exact amount as it was in my local currency, and rates have changed since then. To cut the whole story short, I lost all this money back to the casino the same day, and out of anger, I decided to deposit again and continue my betting, which all also went in.
 
One thing about emotional gambling is that you can't think straight as you are mainly focused on how you can be able to get back the money you have put in and not even the profit you have made the first time. Since I have had this one-time experience, I don't always go after my losses. I exhaust what I have in my gambling account. I log out and call it a day.

We're adults and know when we make mistakes, some are escapeable and some are not. We make severe losses, probably the ones that affects our pocket and our bank accounts, but there's nothing to worry about between always bounce back to our stands. It takes only a pro gambler to become profitable and he knows his limits, he doesn't gamble more than his budgeted funds in a day. Remember every day comes with new opportunities, we ought to grab good chances of milking the system, anything other than that is out of the picture.

The gambler who had lose the money should get motivated in the positive way,because the people luck may change at anytime.It was most important for the gamblers to get into the gambling at the time of luck.The gamblers who don’t have the money at the time of luck,they can do the right thing by taking the loan for the gambling.The important difference between the loan at random time and loan at the moment of gambling had huge difference.Because the gamblers can able to get the money back by doing the gambling.The gamblers should take the lone based on their income and don’t get more money loan beyond their ability.

[slapper]

You're not alone. This goes beyond gambling to understanding your emotions, triggers, and control. Starting simply acknowledging a problem is huge. Get to the point. Strategy and self-awareness matter. Gambling is win-loss. Losing isn't a sign to double down; it's a red flag to reconsider. Why? Because luck and bankroll are finite

Set limits. Not just wins, but especially losses. Stick to them. Casino discipline is key. Smart choices, not pride. Remember, you simply need to prove yourself. You may need support if you can't stick to your boundaries. Nothing wrong with that. It shows strength. Gambling should be fun, not war

[Klain_Grain93]

Same happened to me today. I like Le Havre this season, and my XFUN parlay reflected that. Managed to hit 3 draw games of the day in ligue 1, and had I followed the logic I established, Le Havre game would have been a hit as well

[killerfrost]

But before you chase that tail all night, let's talk strategy, because conquering this beast takes cunning, not just blind luck.

First things first, budget time. Think of it like your gambling allowance, a measly percentage of your weekly loot that you CAN afford to lose. Like, pizza money small, not rent-money big. Once it's gone, poof, the dragon wins. No whining, no chasing losses, just walk away like a champion who knows when to fold 'em.

Speaking of losses, yeah, they happen. It's like gravity for gamblers, impossible to escape. But here's the trick: the more you're down, the more the dragon whispers sweet lies about "one more spin" being the magic ticket. Don't listen to that scaly fiend! Recognize your vulnerability, say "nope" to the next bet, and retreat like a tactical ninja. Sometimes, walking away is the biggest win.

Yes, it's true, your mind is clouded by revenge and you just want your money back which is why you will keep on depositing thinking your luck may come anytime and it will give everything back to you.
But that's not the case for both online casinos and physical casinos. The house edge is real so it would be better to just forget about your losses and call it a day. I know it's difficult to control it because I have been there too. Not just once but so many times in my betting spree.
I like playing it in small amounts but when I am losing more, I hate to admit to myself that I am a loser. It's more like a battle of pride and ego where you want to call yourself a winner at the end of the day than being a loser because it won't let you sleep easily.
But, we cannot just tell anyone to control their emotion, it's part of the gambling habit and we cannot just take it out of our system. It's our money, especially the hard-earned ones and we will always want it back whenever the gambling sites keep on taking it from us. Whoever says they can control it is either a hypocrite or not playing too many casino games. Chasing losses is a part of gambling and we will keep on doing it even if we remind ourselves to not take that rough path.

[Ruttoshi]

What you should do is to have a gamble budget for the week, so that when you have exhausted that amount, you wait till you have assigned a new budget for gambling. You should also have a time limit that you use in your gambling activities, so that once the time is up, you stop gambling. You said it that you know how to quit when you are winning alone, but this will help you limit your loss

From what I sense, is like you are gambling for profit and this is why you find it difficult to quit when you are losing because you are chasing your losses due to your emotions. See gambling as a means of entertainment and not for profit. Only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose, and not funds meant for important things.

[Lida93]

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

...
6° NEVER play (to win) if you are: Tired, stressed, bored, angry etc etc..... There is a strong effect come from the morale of better....
...

I think that more people should read and understand my "betting advices" and maybe take a read of my history in this field
Probably most of newcomers could get an insight in this world and understand how to manage several aspects to improve winnin chances

It is very important that we gamblers constantly take time to observe ourself how the outcome and results of our games are mostly are based on the current condition we are while gambling. Checking if we are most favoured or make losses whenever we are under such condition, by doing  it this way a lot of unnecessary losses we make in gambling will be drastically reduced and our money well managed to our benefit.

It is common that when we feel stressed, weak, uneasy and sick our level of productivity reduces which have the tendency to affect our results in anything we engage in at that very moment and it is nothing different with gambling because it's an activity that requires us to think and brainstorm in order to increase winning chances.

[Slow death]

I personally haven't had this kind of thing, in sports betting when I analyze games I do it at the time when I'm not thinking about problems, this is because I'm aware that I'm putting my money on that bet and for that reason I need to have focus to If I do my analysis well and get my bet right, getting money is not an easy task and that's why we shouldn't waste money. Now when it comes to gambling games that depend on luck, I'm talking about slots games, the person can play even when they are very sad because it won't make any big difference, in those games the person doesn't need to analyze anything. the person does not need to create strategies. all the person does is just enter the amount of money they want to play and click the start button

and then let the game work, that's all one does. So the person's emotional state does not affect the outcome of the game at all. but there are games in which the person needs to be more concentrated and very well in terms of emotions. Card games are games of skill, they are games in which the person needs to be very concentrated to be able to win, which is why if the person knows that they will not be concentrated then they should not play, that is very simple. at least in my opinion, because it doesn't make any sense that a person who knows that they are not well emotionally due to some problem in their life and still, instead of staying at home,

recovering from the problem they have, this person goes to a casino thinking that when they play they will forget about the problem they have and end up losing all the money, this is not a good move. Gambling is not the kind of thing people can play to forget about their problems. Unlike other forms of entertainment, in gambling money is involved and because of this people tend to leave the casino more angry than happy, which is why in my opinion people who are in trouble should not gamble. should stay at home doing other things to overcome problems

I think every gambler has had an experience like that. When we lose, we usually increase the bet in the hope that if we win we will get our money back or even make a profit, but when the win doesn't come, the balance will run out quickly and often when emotions are bad, we will chase losses and it will definitely get worse.

I think we need to use common sense and gamble only when our minds are okay. If our minds start to get confused because of losing, it's better to stop and leave the house, maybe go for a walk or do something you like. If I usually eat chocolate, chocolate is good for my mind because it makes me feel relaxed. You may need to try it

Not inner voice but discipline I guess. An inner voice could be pushing you to bet more because rewards would be high in such instance. Emotions are indeed hard to control but it won't literally cost you a dime if you will choose to avoid playing whenever you are being emotional. I even cannot think of something wherein being emotional will result to a better outcome aside from expressing oneself but since gambling is a risky activity then obviously it won't be of any good trying to be in such state while betting and relying to your luck and feelings.

What you should do is to have a gamble budget for the week, so that when you have exhausted that amount, you wait till you have assigned a new budget for gambling. You should also have a time limit that you use in your gambling activities, so that once the time is up, you stop gambling. You said it that you know how to quit when you are winning alone, but this will help you limit your loss

Easy to say but hard to apply to ourselves and that is maybe because your mindset does not support your emotional, physical, and financial capacity as a gambler. For sure we all do know what to do and what not, however people are still falling for the tendency of becoming rich quickly. Fixing one's mindset is a huge step towards true gambling efficiency. Whenever you are either sad or mad, there's even that possibility that you will be able to say harsh things outside your own will. Emotions are  not something you could avoid quickly since it is a part of our own complex as an individual.

Assess yourself; if you have a $1k and you could easily expect that the amount will be gone in a short period of time however it shouldn't be something to consider with.

Never bet with your heart, only your head.  This is a saying I've come to learn and was taught when I started playing fantasy football many years ago.  I use to bet emotionally on my own teams/draft my own favorite teams players (chicago bears, Cubs, Bulls etc).  This ended up just getting me in hot water and I quickly learned to leave emotions out of it.  If you're emotional, don't bet!

JUST ENJOY THE GAME~

Losing is never been an enjoying stuff on which this is something very normal because no one really likes on losing money but if you arent after on making one then emotions wont really be that as severe comparing into that individual whose really that coming after on making money with gambling on which you would really be that definitely be having those different approach comparing into those individuals who do really come after for
making money and not for entertainment. It would really be just that normal that we would really be having those emotions since we are just humans. We are naturally greedy and it would really be that impossible
that you wont really be having those kind of aims on the time that you do gamble.

There are really just those people who cant really be able to stop their emotions and this is why they do really end up on disaster because they arent been
able to decide on how they would really gonna handle the situation.

[Dewi Aries]

Someone who is already addicted usually they always spin on the cycle of "greedy when winning and getting curious when losing" but it seems that what OP is experiencing is that he is too curious when he loses which makes the number of losses even greater but on the other hand he has no problem cashing out when he is in a winning situation, this is quite worrying because in gambling the percentage of wins is much lower than losses, and that means that if you cannot limit the time for gambling activities that you do then the possibility of losing will be even greater because of your inability to accept reality at the end of the session.

One of the things that can be a solution is as we know that "responsibility" is an important thing that every gambler must have, with this means that you understand and are able to accept the risks and consequences that exist in gambling, especially when at the end of the session, responsibility is very important in gambling because with this, your mind will be more directed towards prevention and prioritize yourself not to overdo it, if you can apply it then that means you will only dare to put an amount that will not make you disappointed if in the end you lose, this will be able to make you feel calmer or less disappointed even though you lose.
