When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[uneng]

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?

No, I don't let emotions get too high when I'm gambling. Of course I'm not a machine and I feel really tempted into giving up to my emotions, but I always try to be rational on my decision of stopping when I have to stop, without further debates with myself. Once I set a limit which I can't cross, I won't cross that, doesn't matter how I desire to keep gambling to chase losses and finish my session on green.

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 is normal, as like every of us, you want to finish your gambling play with profit on your pockets. When we are winning it's easier to stop, since we aren't greedy gamblers, because we wish to spend the earned money someway else, especially if you already had something in mind to purchase, but were lacking the money to do so. However, it's hard to accept a loss, so when we hit a long loss streak, automatically our mind tells us to continue playing, as the easiest solution for the problem... You just have to be stronger than that and give up on the idea of keep playing when you are losing.

What I keep in mind when I'm losing is that by continuing playing, I'm going to lose even more money, without thinking on the positive possible outcomes. That is: I'm heavily pessimistic, and in this case it's quite good, because it prevents me from putting myself in dangerous situations.

I don't become emotional when I gamble or invest. I have this habit of getting bitter when things go wrong, feeling the need to do something about it, but I calculate everything in my mind and end up not acting on my emotions.

I'll give you an example. When I invest, the price goes down, I feel like I should sell and protect it, but then I rethink it, get bitter, think to myself -fuck them, and don't sell because that's how I am. Stubborn.
It's the same with gambling. I win some money, I feel like I'm in a streak and could continue, but then I realize that I'm fine and take a small win home or stop at a small loss. I don't try to test my luck more when I win and I don't attempt to win back what I lost if I lose money.

The good point is that you are truly aware of the situation and problems you are facing. Self-awareness of a problem that is being experienced is the first step towards better change. because many of those who are addicted to gambling are completely unaware of the bad behavior they have been doing, even worse, they always deny it and look for various reasons when given advice and input by other people.

In my experience, you should remain calm when gambling and be able to enjoy each betting session. Most fundamentally, it is important for us to think that gambling is just entertainment, not a way to make a profit and multiply wealth, and this kind of thinking can help us reduce stress and can make the gambling experience better. Next, set a deposit limit according to your readiness to lose the money, and don't forget to apply a time limit so that your life balance can be maintained properly. Apart from that, it is important for you to understand the rules of the game and learn strategies that can increase your chances, because knowledge can increase your sense of self-confidence when gambling. However, when you experience a loss which can sometimes make you stressed and emotional, then avoid impulsive decisions to try to recover the loss, and to avoid this decision, take a break from gambling activities. And if necessary and you find it quite difficult to control yourself and your emotions when playing gambling and placing a bet, then consult someone who is an expert in that field.

Emotion is a very a big challenging thing that both gamblers and traders face, especially anything that has to do with staking of money, Emotion will definitely be present, and that is why most people tend to do what they are not supposed to do and thus lose money, things like cashing out too early, chasing loses and increasing their stakes and going above their limits and to try to gain back those losses. We should learn how to deal with it by taking a disciplinary measures that will help us. Like sticking to gambling plans and never exceed your risk limits.

I am not a part of gamblers who can't control the funds in gambling. I also have quite good control on my emotion now. I ever experienced it when I am new in gambling, but now I'm trying to always control my emotion when I realized it will bring many negative impacts. It won't be easy to control emotion, it takes time to exercise it. Even, sometimes we must experience bad thing in you life to make use aware. However, we can learn it from other experience, there are many sad stories because of losing control of emotion in gambling.

The answer of your problem is to stick with your commitment and be discipline. When you already allocated a certain amount of money for the gambling games a day or a week, always consider it before you double your bets. And noted in our mind that deciding to double it, will never  automatically increase the chance to win. So, be calm and control emotion! Leave gambling temporarily if you fail to calm your mind.

It is a problem that whenever you loss and you get emotional, you feel that you should double your bets. IMHO, that's a dangerous approach when you gamble and you seem to martingale but that's due to your emotional approach and I understand on how you do that. What you need to do is to just set yourself on how much you're going to gamble so that you won't be placing that much when you're emotional and do use somethings that will make you remind to stay calm and focus on your budget as you bet. Don't let your emotion ruin your day.

[ralle14]

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

My solution to holding off those emotions while being in a losing situation is to lower my gambling budget and learn when to stop for the day.

If you've been through the same problem several times already, you have to understand that reacting to your losses would only cause more damage to your bankroll if you continue. It might take a while before you can adapt to a small bankroll, but it's worth going through if you'll be less attached to all of your losses.

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.

Your eagerness makes you loss mate , because you are not paying attention to the situation but you keep chasing losses and that made you and your emotion vulnerable in losing , I don't know what made you keep doing that when you already admit it that there are problem when you lose so best to learn yourself first before gambling again.

If someone aims to make a profit and continues to experience losses then they will experience uncontrollable emotions because the expenditure they have prepared for betting capital runs out and they don't get any profit at all, causing them to become emotional and unable to control themselves and try to increase their bets to recover losses, but when someone doesn't really hope to make a profit, they just enjoy gambling and still accept it if they lose, so this doesn't become a problem and doesn't cause them emotions. This means they can control their thoughts to stop and not try to chase losses.

If you experience problems like that don't consider gambling as a challenge and you feel challenged to increase your bets and recover your losses because if you are not in control then you can experience bigger losses. It is better to stop and come back tomorrow when you are no longer emotional, it could be that your losses from yesterday can come back again because gambling when emotional is not recommended.

[EluguHcman]

The reality is that you can challenge a bet to win and that is fun and acceptable at either you wins or you looses but with the emotional effects of thriving to bypass and recover your losts would definitely cause you an unbalanced emotional tussles which your desperate goals to win could not afford you the fitness of technical analogies to dispense the strategies reliable predictions.
Meanwhile.... I don't believe in doubling my stakes or in any expeditious to satisfy my emotional breakdowns because the more I persists is the tendencies that I could loose due to my uncontrollable emotions to attend to critical factors.

It's normal, if you get emotional then you lose. Being overly emotional never brings anything positive but always has a negative impact on our lives. If an investor and trader invests or trades emotionally, there is a 90% chance of losing in that investment or trade. In the case of a gambler in the same way, if he bets without controlling himself by being emotional, then there will be 100% chance of losing. Emotions should never be prioritized in life. Emotions lead a person's life to such a state of degradation that he himself does not realize it.

[Julien_Olynpic]

To me, if you are overly emotional, it means you have no strategy. Or your strategy is inadequate for the game you are in. Or your strategy as a whole is adequate and profitable, but even the most profitable strategy has a long streak of failures. Unfortunately, a long losing streak is just part of the game. I wouldn't dwell on it. But nevertheless, we all understand that a long streak of failures can unsettle anyone. It forces us to take a break from the game and think a little about our actions. We are doing something wrong and we need to figure it out.

When I was just starting with gambling, I found it difficult to control my feelings. It made me deposit some money to continue betting. But that is not a good solution because the amount of money is just lost again. Yes, it was a problem, so I started learning to control my feelings. I know it will affect my gambling activities if I can't control it.

I started to apply limits when gambling and tried to stop when I experienced a losing streak. Whatever the amount of loss, that is what I can afford and I have no intention of depositing any more money. However, we have to know our limits when playing gambling so that we don't lose a lot of money.

You don't need to think it is a challenge because gambling is entertaining. When you lose, you should try to stop gambling. Don't think about depositing any more money because it doesn't guarantee you can win. There is still tomorrow to gamble so save your energy for that tomorrow.

Emotional gambling causes bad decisions and financial losses, so it must be addressed. Many players struggle to resist chasing losses or raising stakes when angry or upset. Recognizing this pattern is the first step towards addressing the problem. Limiting your betting or taking breaks while you're upset can assist you control your impulsivity. Friends, relatives, and professionals who understand gambling addiction can also help. Self-awareness, discipline, and support structures are needed to overcome poor habits and bet responsibly to quit emotional gambling.

I'm glad you were able to learn how to be stable with your decision in the end. Actually, it's hard at the very beginning but you'll eventually learn if you are willing to accept your mistakes. It mostly starts with betting an amount that is big enough compared to your budget, this is isn't bankroll but per bet.

Take it for example. if you are a gambler and you bet $10 ( feel okay) and bet $100 (feel nervous). We should choose $10 as you are comfortable in accepting the outcome of your bet, even if it losses.

[Juse14]

When gambling or betting, sometimes if we experience defeat too often it can make us feel annoyed and emotional, which if we cannot control these emotions well then this impulse will push us to impulsive behavior which can endanger ourselves, and can cause losses. quite large financially.

To anticipate this, we should only gamble with the amount of money we are ready to lose, and don't forget to always apply maximum deposit limits and winning targets in the gambling we do. We need to do this to reduce feelings of disappointment with the final result we get, especially if the final result is defeat.

And when you continuously lose, it would be better if you immediately withdraw from gambling and take a break to stabilize your emotions and regain full control over yourself in gambling. Because to prevent impulsive behavior that could make us make wrong decisions, gambling must be done calmly and in full control.

You need to understand that loosing is also part of gambling, knowing that you will definitely lose at some point while gambling is a first step to helping you get better because having this at the back of your mind prepares you for anything ahead but when you think it will be always winning then you will definitely have problems accepting losses which will definitely keep you emotional, when you have that consciousness that there's always a probability of loss they you will know how well to handle it when it comes. When you have the mindset to accept losses when it comes and wins aswell when it comes, that way you reduce how emotional you get about gambling and don't forget to always stake that which you can afford to loose so so don't have much challenges with losses.

If you are gambling responsibly which includes been discipline and staking only that which you can afford to lose at a time then you help keep your emotions under much control than you would have if you are not doing any of the above, most times the agitations arises from the amount you have put at risk already.

[Kliss]

As gambler, it's good and better you learn how to control emotions, whether you are winning or losing. Without controlling your emotions it can lead to gambling addiction, Because emotions can have a big impact on our gambling experience. When we are emotional in gambling it can be tough to make rational decisions and control our bets it is important to recognise this as a problem because it can lead to chasing losses and potentially more losses .

One approach that can help is setting limits for yourself both in terms of time and money, know when to stop whether winning or losing because there are more days and time to gamble again. Another way that can help control your emotions is talk to a friend when you're winning or losing they can encourage you with positive advice that moment.

[retreat]

Often gamblers gamble more than they can afford because they are too emotional when playing. Because gamblers' unstable emotions often make gamblers unable to control themselves to be able to play and make rational decisions, and this will lead to excessive, high-risk and greedy gambling. If gamblers cannot control their emotions, over time this will become a problem which can affect their mental health and financial.

Not only in gambling but in all things when you are controlled by emotions the results usually won't go well because they end up ignoring many things.
When you are emotional and continue to gamble and even increase the bet, you actually know that the results will be worse because you are not doing it with a clear mind. We may not be able to recover losses by doubling the bet amount even though there is a chance of getting bigger but the losses suffered will also be bigger, all gamblers certainly feel this and if we can recover losses it is usually just a coincidence, not something that will always happen that way.
If we are too overcome by emotions, usually there is nothing we can do, but losses will be within our limits if we gamble using money that we can afford to lose, so that is the key to avoiding bigger losses due to being overcome by emotions.
