When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Sanugarid]

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.

Most of the people who lose emotionally in gambling are because they can't control their feelings so they can't think properly about what they are doing because they are too carried away by their emotions.
Controlling your emotions is important when you gamble, you can set a budget to control yourself so that when you lose you won't feel upset or anything else because that loss is budgeted so you don't have to chase your losses. If you often lose gambling, you should stop, you know when to stop gambling. You must also have self-discipline because it is also one of the most important things when you gamble.

Indeed, emotions can cloud judgment and lead individuals to make impulsive decisions when gambling. Budgeting approach helps to ensure that any losses incurred are within acceptable bounds and do not have a detrimental impact on one's financial well-being. Recognizing when to stop gambling is another essential aspect of responsible behavior. Gamblers need to aware of signs like frequently losing or feeling emotionally overwhelmed by their gambling experiences. If the signs appear, take appropriate action, which may involve taking a break from gambling altogether.

Self-discipline plays a key role in adhering to these principles. It requires people to exercise restraint, even in the face of temptation or emotional impulses, and to make decisions that align with their long-term goals and well-being. By practicing emotional control, knowing when to stop, and exercising self-discipline, people can engage in gambling responsibly and minimize the negative consequences associated with it. These principles not only promote healthier gambling habits but also contribute to overall financial stability and well-being.

For a gambler to fully practice that self-discipline sometimes they need to experience the worst they can get in gambling.

It's hard at first, but some gamblers become good gamblers after experiencing several mistakes in gambling.

Self-disciplined is hard to achieve and not all can practice that. But if learned, it's worth it.

a few time that I was a victim of emotional gambling,  I always lost,  like last week when I got my pay in my stake account,  instead of gambling along my already laid down rules and principles of not staking and betting with more than 10% of my total weekly earnings,  I got carried away with the possibility of winning a huge amount t and by that, I staked my entire earning for that week.

And even when I almost won the bet with almost 80% cash out of the entire winning,  I become so greedy and wanted the match to end so I could walk away with the entire winning amount,  but unfortunately, the other team equalized and at the end, I lost everything,  then I realize the danger of gambling along the emotional line.

Certain conditions can affect the stability of person emotional level, in conditions like this you cannot control it and your emotions increase, which influences you awareness to take steps that are truly unmeasurable and have quite bad impact.
You may lose but from here you are unable to control you emotions and only follow you ambition to avenge defeat by achieving big win, this is really bad condition for gambler and of course mistakes will often occur in conditions like this.
Maybe it is related to self-control, but emotional and overall self-control will fail to be maintained if one of them has failed in suppressing it I think there will always be many gamblers who experience the same thing as you.
But this can give you valuable learning and of course when mistakes have occurred so that we are able to realize them then in the future we can be able to make ourselves more careful and really suppress what could have caused the error to occur.

In conditions like this it is difficult to be able to really press directly at the same time because you thoughts and feelings are really focused on the ambition of winning, even though you win will never be satisfied and try for something bigger.
Indeed, awareness can only really be had when failure has occurred and makes lose large amount and feel disappointed.

In support of what you have added, controlling emotions will not make you win because there is no formula for winning in gambling due to the unpredictable nature of gambling. The outcome of most gambling activities is determined by chance such as in casino games like slots or roulette. Even skilled games like poker involve luck and this cannot be fully controlled. However, controlling emotions can prevent a gambler from losing more than necessary.

The importance of controlling emotions lies in the fact that when you can control your emotions, it is easier to stop or continue playing when it's necessary to avoid irreparable losses. Controlling emotions requires discipline, self-awareness, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. By regulating emotions, gamblers may be able to make more rational decisions based on probabilities and strategic thinking rather than being swayed by momentary feelings.

Yeah sometimes we neglect the importance of cash out and that because of greed that brings the temptation of keeping waiting for the whole potential winning but at the end results in losing out. So it happens, most of us have experienced it and you are not the first nor will you be the last.

However, I think betting with 10% of weekly pay is rather high because by the time you calculate the monthly worth of that you know you are betting with a lot of money, except you are having some good profit more than you are losing.

Chance rules, thus emotional control is a defense against excessive loss. I've seen the dangers of letting emotions guide decision-making in myself and others.

Your core claim (controlling emotions to mitigate loss rather than win) is more valuable. My experience shows that emotional management is crucial. It requires discipline and self-awareness to know when to leave. I prefer a planned approach where each decision is made without immediate emotions.

We cannot control the cards we're dealt, but we can master how we play them. This mastery is about managing our reactions to the game, not changing it.

However, I think betting with 10% of weekly pay is rather high because by the time you calculate the monthly worth of that you know you are betting with a lot of money, except you are having some good profit more than you are losing.

That's why it's important to remind ourselves not to be too greedy if we are given the opportunity to cash in our bet without having to wait for the final result which will make us lose all our winnings just because of 1 mistake, people who are too greedy or too carried away emotionally can indeed be a factor. that person will lose their opportunity because emotions are not very good, especially when applied in gambling where we have to be able to restrain ourselves from getting emotional in order to think clearly.

In my opinion it's okay to use 10% of his total salary because at least he doesn't use it more than 20% and this depends on his opinion, but if he can afford to lose that 10% but if not it's better to reduce his expenses because if we want to decide to gamble we have to prepare cold money or money that is really not used for anything because as we know, gambling is full of risks.

Well, we completely agree with what you said. but the problem is, in practice it is not as easy as we agree and what you say. emotions come and go, depending on conditions and situations. when we experience defeat, it is not uncommon for emotions of anger to emerge to carry out various actions that are in our minds. one of them, making repeated deposits many times. so, controlling emotions is very important when we gamble. unfortunately, as I said from the start. that in practice, it is not as easy as what we say. because in a betting session, we don't know for sure how the game is going and how our emotions come into play.

I agree with some points with what you said, it just requires trained self-control. moreover, to know when we stop and when we start a gambling session. once again I say, it's not easy at all. the point is, discipline needs to be trained..plus, an understanding of gambling itself. the problem of losing when you are emotional is a normal thing. because, instinctively we have had it since we were born. so, there is no need to worry about emotions because they are part of us as humans. what is important to understand is how we treat gambling and understand it properly.

Bot just in gambling, this is often applicable also in trading and other aspect of life, you're bound to make hasty and Inconsequential decisions because you're not at that moment in your right frame of mind but every decision you take is prompted by your current state of mind and emotion, and we know fully well that when you're loosing it doesn't produce a positive energy but a negative one which affects and influences your current state of mind at that moment. So it's important to take away any form of emotions when gambling because the result would be fatal.

Yeah sometimes we neglect the importance of cash out and that because of greed that brings the temptation of keeping waiting for the whole potential winning but at the end results in losing out. So it happens, most of us have experienced it and you are not the first nor will you be the last.

There are times that we carried away with the current situation happening to us and we think that the winning streak experience continue then we can earn a lot of money. That's the reason we encounter those devastating return then we starting to experience those heavy losses lots of us for sure encounter this that's why we can relate on such statements its because we know how it feels that we are losing. That's how important for other newbie gambler to consider the risk if bad experiences of other experience gambler so that they can avoid facing the same risk and can do more better plan to get more better result.

Winning strides won't continue that is one thing we have to take note of,  and it doesn't mean because you have won and accumulated a lot of balance in cash out means that you end up winning the entire 100% rewards at the end of the match because the game can still go against your predictions and you end up losing all.

What best formula to apply in such situations:

1: make timely decision to cash out once the cash out exceeds your 70% of total winning,  at least you won some and lost none,  this formula works for me.

2: make sure to take a break when you already hit one or two winning strides,  this way you walk away with your entire winnings.

Self-disciplined is hard to achieve and not all can practice that. But if learned, it's worth it.

It's true. Experience is the best mentor of all.
I've lost a lot of times after a win and that's because of the emotional joy of feeling lucky which leads to being greedy. I won't deny it, because I think these kinds of things don't only happen to me. This is an incident where a gambler has a choice to get out or continue and I think most of the time "to continue" is what they pick.

The truth is I haven't had a chance for a continuous winning streak where you could say it does happen to a player. I can get like x500 but next to that will probably be a losing streak. There's just only one way to escape it and that is to cash it out. Enjoy the profits and go back another day, pray that the system resets and you can have the same result when you come back.

Everyone probably has experienced a losing streak and a winning streak; it's a cycle that we should accept. The problem with most of us is that we lack discipline; we tend to be more aggressive to recover our losses faster. However, because of that careless strategy, it turns out we are losing more and more. In terms of probability, we might face a 50/50 or 48/52 situation, but we are not using it well because, when we lose our discipline, we forget to follow proper bankroll management.

Have you ever experienced being up in a session but, once you face a losing streak and feel down, you become aggressive and double your bets, ending up losing everything? That's us being undisciplined, and it's something we have to learn from and strive not to do again.

[Crypt0Gore]

Truth be told, no human is capable of controlling how they feel completely, they can only choose to make the right decision, is what I am doing the right thing to do? A smart person will surely end up with such question.

When someone rape a sister in your family, the feeling of killing the rapist will come to mind but its jungle justice if you give in to your feelings, automatically you yourself have become a killer, you will also have to face the law, but the right thing to do is to get them arrested and locked up.

You can get emotional when gambling, but don't do anything stupid, you don't know which decision will bring you the result you want, that's why you are emotional, what is the solution? Lower the money you are about to risk, your emotional could be on the risk you are about to take, it's like a caution sign.

Experiencing both winning and losing streaks is just a natural cycle in gambling. You're spot on about the common pitfall of becoming too aggressive in trying to recover losses quickly. Instead of calmly assessing the situation and sticking to a sound strategy, many gamblers let emotions take over that leads to irrational decisions that exacerbate their financial losses. Your example of doubling bets in an attempt to recoup losses is a classic illustration of the dangers of undisciplined gambling behavior.

Proper bankroll management is crucial in mitigating the risks associated with gambling. This disciplined approach helps prevent impulsive decisions driven by emotions and allows for more rational decision-making, even during periods of adversity. Embracing discipline and adhering to proper bankroll management are essential components of responsible gambling. By doing so, individuals can navigate the inevitable ups and downs of gambling more effectively, ultimately enhancing their chances of long-term success and enjoyment in gambling.

a few time that I was a victim of emotional gambling,  I always lost,  like last week when I got my pay in my stake account,  instead of gambling along my already laid down rules and principles of not staking and betting with more than 10% of my total weekly earnings,  I got carried away with the possibility of winning a huge amount t and by that, I staked my entire earning for that week.

And even when I almost won the bet with almost 80% cash out of the entire winning,  I become so greedy and wanted the match to end so I could walk away with the entire winning amount,  but unfortunately, the other team equalized and at the end, I lost everything,  then I realize the danger of gambling along the emotional line.

Even if you avoid it more, the risk always seems to have the same origin, many people think that the path of an experienced and wise gambler will be a lamp to help us illuminate the path a little but in reality, that path is endless and no gambler can afford to experience it all, if one person's light goes out, another person's light will continue and in such a cycle, there is no clear destination. Emotions are the body's cells and senses, responding to the contradictions that life offers, it's hard to experience a less rough road in this life

[Dewi Aries]

Maybe what you mean is "if I get emotional then my losses can be bigger", because for the problem of losing it is a sure thing in gambling but increasing the number of losses is the result that you will experience when you cannot control your emotions and I think the inability to accept the fact of losing especially in large numbers is the problem here. So the truth is that you really need to change and justify your understanding of gambling, you must re-understand and reaffirm to yourself that gambling is a winning and losing activity, in the sense that you will always find one of the two results at the end of your gambling session.

On the other hand everyone doesn't like losing, but the point is if you don't like losing then isn't the solution to not touch gambling at all? Of course, because after all gambling is always about taking risks, you can only win when you are really lucky and on the other hand everyone will never know when they can be lucky because luck is always unknowable when it comes and when it goes which means if at the end of the session you lose it means you are unlucky. So as I said above that gambling is a win and lose activity, don't just be ready to win because I will call you a loser, but it is mandatory for all gamblers to be able to accept the fact of losing, and if you are still unable to be a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to accept defeat then it is better not to touch gambling at all.

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.

A lot of gamblers have experienced the same thing. When a gambler experiences losses while gambling, they may become eager to recover their losses quickly. They may start placing larger bets than usual, hoping to win big and make up for their previous losses. This type of behavior can lead to negative consequences such as accruing a large debt, selling off assets, or even engaging in illegal activities to obtain money for gambling.
