When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Mauser]

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.

   

No I am not affected emotionally by my gambling anymore in any severe form. This only happened a bit when I first started with gambling, but I had to learn quickly that emotions don't have any space in gambling. Of course I feel bad after a big loss, or I am happy after winning some money, but I try to not to let it affect my decision making in any form. We might not be able to control what we feeling, but we can control if we want to act on these feeling or if we try to change our mindset, clear our head and feel differently afterwards. Doubling your bets after a loss is quite normal if you follow a martingale approach, it's a nice stratey that I use from time to time when playing roulette. Everything is fixed in the martingale strategy, so I am not reacting to my feelings or emotions, I just follow a strategy. For me the best way to look at gambling is in the same way as trading or how I handle money in general. When you go shopping, you don't buy everything you see and like, or when you watch advertisings then you also don't order everything that makes you feel good. Here we know very well that we can't trust our feeling and shouldn't be affected by our initial emotions. In gambling it's no different, we should think and act with our head and don't give into sudden urges coming from our emotions.

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.

It is rational that in gambling anyone has experienced where they become emotional taking high risks for the sake of greed where they want to restore previous losses.
We realize that it's all within the scope of gambling but back to the individual how they do about responsibility if they can control then they can be safe from high risk the same thing where you can manage the bankroll that has been determined.

That emotional comes from your mind, you probably keep thinking that you can still win if you try again, and those casino machines will just keep getting the best of you, there are times when you need to stop gambling.

Gamblers want some jackpot and winning streaks, but the machine will deny you at times and you will keep losing money over and over, imagine you just keep throwing all you have at it, you will go home broke with nothing left in your bank account, this is why quitting is good.

Use a certain amount and when that threshold is gone you must close your laptop or walk out of the casino, there is advantage coming back another day, remember, those machines or online casino games have their own ways too, it's all mathematical calculation that's very hard for 99% people to understand.

Your disciplined martingale method in roulette is amazing. The emotional rollercoaster is replaced by a steady, predictable framework. Strategic thinking is stressed by comparing gambling to trading or budgeting. My belief is that we should make judgments with clarity and foresight, regardless of the situation.

This amount of consideration in gambling elevates the experience and reduces danger. With a conscious approach, gambling may be fun and improve decision-making. On the field of chance, our greatest asset is our capacity to think critically and control our emotions. Your view teaches us that with the correct mindset, we can handle even the most unanticipated events with grace and wisdom, not just in gambling but in life.

This is why gambling business is really that profitable due to this kind of behavior of gamblers on which they cant really be able to stop on the time that they are winning but rather they would really be continuing on the things that they are really that believing which is on winning the next bet. There are ones who are able to control themselves and there are ones who do fail. This is why
results and outcomes would really be that different to each other and this is something that you wont really be able to stop with those people who are really that aiming for winning.
If you dont be able to control your emotions then gambling would really be able to wreck up your life in terms of finances on which you would really be that definitely be having that kind of
huge problem when it comes to this matter on which this is something that you would really be needing to control on.

The situation is worse when we are emotional about losing when gambling. Likewise with the opposite situation, when we win and feel we are down on luck and forget to leave the game.
I experienced this when the work situation was difficult. The pressure to win comes and losing makes me continue to increase my deposit and continue playing to catch up on my losses. I still play normally, don't increase the bet but just keep making deposits and hope to catch a win.
Yes, that happened about a year ago. and what makes me rise in emotional control is my self-awareness of our gambling game. it will come when you realize that limiting the game is important. limiting capital is important. and you must have something more important to do immediately besides gambling.

That's chasing your losses, the more you lose the more your urge to recover it will increase. That's why it's better when you start gambling you don't bring a lot of money or avoid getting access to device that you can be use to withdraw money for casino deposits. Sometimes we can't really prevent this from happen as we are humans, when we are challenge we tend to take it personally. We are up against a machine or a gambling site that has its algorithm in favor of them, so if we think we can beat them, then that's a big mistake and we will just likely lose. Just imagine, every roll or spin, the advantage is on them, and even if they have a small edge but it's still an edge, only time will tell but in the long run we will lose.

[GiftedMAN]

Gambling is an emotional thing, but for the sake ones health and well being it is advisable for us as humans to control our emotions when gambling, this why it is not a good move for a gambler to select the club he is fanning as one of his picks because in this case, emotions must be attached and again sometime when you bet on a team avoid watching such game because of the tension that you may encounter while watching the match, but let's not shy away from the truth, it is almost unavoidable to attach emotion in gambling because a stake is involved, you are also thinking about the money used and the effect if you eventually lose at the end of the day, but to avoid all this drama just gamble with what you can afford to lose.

[EduardoSe]

actually not emotions cause losing gambling. but losing gambling is what causes emotions and doing marti angles or all in the funds you have. that's what causes losing all the capital you have.

[Dewi Aries]

Yes, I understand that and there is no difference, you said that the possibility of losing in gambling is what makes gamblers emotional, but on the contrary it means that gamblers who come without emotions and have responsibility for whatever happens will not lose? No, in fact, whether you are emotional or not, you can still lose, and maybe the difference between emotions can make your losses bigger, this idea seems the same, even though if we examine it there are differences. causing you to lose once or lose several times due to uncontrolled actions.

So the point is that defeat will still be tied to all gamblers no matter how responsible you are, especially if you are someone who cannot control emotions, which is clear that this will make you experience more successive defeats due to decisions made without consideration, and the difference between those who are responsible and those who always apply emotions is in terms of the number of defeats, in conclusion, emotions can make your number of defeats even greater.

[arjunmujay]

I think you are not alone, I have experienced something similar. When I won the bet, I looked very relaxed while playing. However, after losing, I immediately doubled my bet and so on.
in rounds 3 to 4 maybe our money can be returned with a win. However, after experiencing multiple losses up to more than 10 rounds, that's when all my money ran out. This really happens and happens very often. Finally I decided to just increase the bet to 3 rounds. After that, return to initial mode again or take a break from the game after experiencing a losing streak for 3 rounds.

With all the comments here so far, I want to believe that  you must have gotten the answer that you seek, but just to add, I do perfectly understand what you mean, for I myself do have same feeling when ever I am playing either slot games or casino in-house games..

One casinos where this type of thing have happened to me on several occasions is on l0tt0.com, since I love most of the games they have, as they are unique games ive not seen or played on any other casino before, I tend to head over there when ever I am not doing sports betting but just wanna play an in-house games and have fun with possibilities of winning more money.
So, each time I am playing on this casino and I am losing, I find it very had to leave the game, I just keep playing and playing, and even when I eventually win but the money is not big enough to cover for all the amounts I've lost, after a short break of like 5 minutes at maximum, I see myself continue to play again, and most times, I never seem to be able to bring myself to stop until my bankroll goes empty.

This did happened to me on several occasions I can't count, but after sometime, I began to take notice and started paying very close attention to myself, so that when I play to a certain stage and I get tired, and know I should stop, i just force myself to stop by putting something else on my mind and immediately standing up to go and do that thing, this has helped me on several occasions, it has helped me to stop playing when ever I want to stop.

Realizing the fact that gambling is a game of luck and playing with money that you can afford to lose, can ease your struggle when you are losing, losing is part of gambling, and you have a high expectation that is why you are suffering from this feeling, I recommend that you minimize your gambling activity for now so you can realize what your feeling and motivation should be when you're gambling.
Try a gap of three or four days and when you're not playing think of your mindset and motivation so you can correct it so when you face the gaming table you know what you will think and what you should do.

All gamblers lose, but not all lose equally. Your main point is that bettors lose because of their feelings. It's not emotions themselves that cause problems; it's not using emotions in a healthy way

Not just self-control is needed for responsible gambling. You also need to know yourself. It means understanding that losses are a part of gambling and that the best way to stay in business is to use your emotions strategically. You're partly right when you say that feeling makes it more likely to lose. The real problem is not being able to control your feelings. It's true: feelings can help. It drives people to learn, get better, and plan ahead. The point is to see gambling as fun with risks instead of a surefire way to win

Gambling is a brain game, if done the right way would enhance the analytical strength of the brain, but when abused would leave the player no time to regret his actions. When a person is going against his personal goals or strategy while gambling, he'd suffer emotional trouble, which can lead to severe depression. Op is quite in a close range of saving himself out of his trouble. But the cause of it, may not be easily detected. Since we don't actually know the type of person he is, and how he reacts to losses in real time. A gambler like Op who feels bothered over an incident he's aware would happen, need to minimize his rate of gambling. Instead of stopping while winning, he should reverse engineer himself, to stop while losing. It never gets satisfying, as the player is working hard to recover all he's lost. Such moves are more like chasing the wind. Because the casino will always stay on the winning side of the game.

[Jody.Drummer]

Basically, everything that is based on emotions will usually always produce something bad or not good, because with the encouragement of emotions, usually everything is likely to be done excessively and something that is done excessively is not good especially if it is done in gambling where absolutely nothing can be ascertained because of the randomness that always determines the results at the end of the session, and what happens is precisely what is mostly experienced by gambling addicts where the number of defeats is even greater.

This is why in gambling we are always advised to apply good self-control, do not let us be controlled by gambling but we must control this activity, none other than because there are risks that will continue to lurk there. In addition, being a responsible gambler is also always recommended, because when you are able to accept whatever the results at the end of the session then it will minimize the emotions and disappointment you feel, one of which is by putting a small amount that we can afford to lose.

[lombok]

Jajajaja I think this only happened to me. I will be very emotional if I lose and tend to double my bets when it comes to crash and lambo games 🤦‍♂️ I thought that increasing the size of the $$ I bet but still placing a low multiple of 1.1x could reverse the previous losses, but what happened instead On the contrary, when the game starts, it doesn't fall as expected and $$ is lost in a matter of seconds.

When it comes to sports betting, I am often passionate about choosing clubs and using multi-bets. What made me fail to win the bet was just one or two matches and this happened repeatedly until my balance ran low.

It's true that we have to be patient and not greedy, and this is very difficult for me to face. Is this a sign that I have become a gambling addict?

Many gamblers get depression on the game after the loss,but the same not the reaction of all the gamblers.The betting should be customised based on the holding money of the gamblers,he should not bet high money by seeing his friends betting.His friends may bet huge money as betting because of his holding money.Even a 1$ can be used for the betting and 10$ can be used for the same betting.When the gamblers had loss in the game,he need to reduce their betting in the subsequent game.The gamblers hard to predict the game at the sports betting,because the players game may vary based on their physical health on a particular day.

[Rufsilf]

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?

Nope, since I don't bet very much, I don't get too worked up. Well, I suppose that since some of them are delusional, some gamblers would display such behavior after losing. I think that people may become irrational in their decision-making due to the gambler's fallacy. For instance, following a series of losses, some gamblers would be motivated by pride or a refusal to give up, which would lead them to raise their stakes in an effort to swiftly make up for their losses.
Chasing losses, as others have pointed out, will raise the likelihood of later victories. However, the chances are the same regardless of the results because every gambling event happens independently of the ones that came before it. After a loss, they may believe that a subsequent win will make up for their losses and turn a profit, which is why they double their wager. If they continue to lose while the bet size increases dramatically, though, this could result in large financial losses.

I have experienced bad situations in gambling in the past and at this time I realized that whatever happens in gambling, gambling is still just a game that will actually entertain us, not encourage us to become angry or chase after defeat.
logically all gambling is another form of playing video games, it's just that gambling involves money to be able to enjoy the fun and we as gamblers should understand this so as not to get too emotional when we lose because no matter what we do we still lose because gambling is built not to provide wealth to its customers.
on the one hand, anyone must realize that we have to think logically to see how gambling works and we don't need to be so emotional that we lose control and spend a lot of money just to chase losses that will never return.

defeats we have experienced should be an experience and we learn that we can never take these defeats again as long as we are not lucky, even as long as we are lucky, the wins will not be equivalent to the losses you get.
If we talk about sports betting, maybe this is true, when you get emotional and try to bet again on another match, you will definitely lose your positive thinking and will just bet without doing research and in the end your bet will lose again.

advice for anyone, if you feel emotional when you lose, it would be better to force yourself to stop immediately and look for other activities to divert your mind so as not to remember the defeat or if not and still force yourself to gamble, I'm sure the bigger the loss will be.
