When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[kotajikikox]

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?

isn't called Addiction ? because for me it is not an emotion that makes us chase losses but our attitude that turning us to be addicted.

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.

at least you have a way quitting when you are winning in which also hard for many to do as greed are there.

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 believe you can handle this mate because you have a good attitude leaving when you are winning.

[arwin100]

...and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

Gambling is not a battle for you to win. This is the false mindset that humans have and the casinos want you to have.

If you are getting into that competition mindset against the casino you will not stop playing till you have proven yourself to profit. Unfortunately you will lose more in that in the maximum number of times. So this is a type of a game where the wise choice is to accept the defeat and leave.

In the meantime you should limit the amount you spend and also the fun you have. Once it starts getting from fun to frustration, stop playing.

Sometimes people became so competitive on their activities done that's why maybe they determine each action and decision as battle that they need to conquer so that they can win on the games they play on those casino.

But I guess the casino really like to make people think they are competitive since from that they can burn a lot of money to their casino and that's how they can earn a lot of profit from those guys. And usually these people lose since the more they gamble there's a huge chance that they would lose especially if they are out of focus and think about getting revenge on their lose to chase their losses. If we are encountering those disappointing losses then I guess that's the sign that we need to stop so that we will not suffer from more big losses and can make sure that we still have funds for our next gambling session.

[rendravolt]

We all have that urge to contend with whatever feels like its defeating us personally, but you've to honest with yourself most times regarding the kind of challenge you engage in and the point you're trying to prove. In this scenario, you're the one at the losing end, your funds are at stake as well as your emotions.

You should recognize when you're having a bad day in gambling and as soon as you observe yourself getting emotional, you just quit before it gets very bad.

 Having a gambling budget is a huge advantage, you fund your account with the amount for the day's gamble, as soon as it gets exhausted,  that signifies the end of your gambling session.

Usually this happens when we want to try something more and at the same time we become unable to control it if the results are not what we expected. I have often experienced uncontrollable emotions when gambling and indeed that only makes it difficult for me to stop. Every emotion that is released will continue to increase and will become increasingly difficult to suppress.

We know that emotions are one of the enemies that are difficult for us to conquer and considering that the situation is not very conducive to making us calmer, only feelings of annoyance continue to arise in our minds. But as you said, now everyone is more accustomed to having a predetermined budget and I can no longer regret losing due to emotions like before. It made me more aware because everything will be better when we can stop but it can't all be achieved quickly.

Someone who wants more results tends not to be able to control themselves, they continue to gamble and without realizing that they have experienced big losses due to continuous losing even though their goal from the start was to make a profit and be able to get bigger results, people who are too greedy are indeed will never feel satisfied and will always feel lacking, therefore usually greedy people are always filled with emotions and find it difficult to control themselves when gambling. And you now understand that when we get emotional easily, we won't be able to think clearly to use strategy, maybe that's one of the reasons why we always experience defeat.

Yes, it is true that emotions are an enemy within us that is difficult for us to control, in fact I myself easily get emotional about anything if it doesn't meet my expectations, especially if emotions are related to gambling, of course it makes us go crazy and end up spending erratic amounts of money. and carelessly, especially if you experience continuous defeat, emotional feelings will become increasingly overwhelming, therefore with advice from people to always be responsible in gambling, have limits and be able to allocate time and emotional expenditure to be more controlled, use as little money as possible or otherwise we can do it so that the defeats we experience do not cause emotions because losing is part of gambling itself.

Yes, that's right, it usually happens when someone wants something more, and for example, when you already have a win but you want to get a bigger win that in the end you continue the session by increasing the amount of bets for something bigger but not based on self-preparedness, or the point is that you are not able to take responsibility when the results do not match what you want. This will make the gambler dominated by his emotions and do more crazy actions.

Therefore, it is always recommended to gamble with your own limits and abilities, never do something that is actually beyond your ability because the problem is that the possibility of risk cannot always be avoided completely in the sense that the idea of overreacting in gambling will only make you feel more disappointed when it turns out that the results are not in accordance with what you expected. On the other hand regrets will always come at the end and everyone experiences the same, but I think we should not be too excessive in terms of regretting it because after all it has already happened, and it means that changes must be made so that we can avoid the same events as before.

[dansus021]

On the time that you would really be having that kind of win on your gambling activity then you would be somehow having that kind of boost up on which you would really be having those impressions that you
can actually do it and could really be able to make huge money in gambling on which you dont even think about the risk that do involved on it. Getting emotional when at loss? Its normal
since we dont really like on losing money and as a human then those reactions are normal since its money and we dont like on losing it and we would really be thriving our very best on acquiring or reaching out
those winning conditions which we know that it is really that hard in gambling.

Getting emotionally impulsive? You would really be finding up yourself on such big trouble on the time that you would be making having no control towards your financial spending.
This is where gamblers do usually mess up and its a never ending type of problem or simply the cycle.

Emotion is danger and just do quick google search this point might help the OP Identify the emotion, Accept your emotions, Take deep breathe, Meditate

You must be the exception to this rule, as being emotionally driven when betting and staying within the budget is far from the norm. To the OP asking for advice I would tell him to stop betting. If he has such problems controlling himself and keeps losing he's not going to discover a trick that will allow him to bet a little and still control himself. His case is either continue in the same vein, probably getting worse and losing too much over time, or quit for good. I'm clear about which I would choose, also bearing in mind that it's not going to be an easy thing to do.

Yeah, I do agree with you the OP should stop doing it if the emotion fueled his anger in the body. Can't control emotion is dangerous in my opinion and should stop gambling rather than cry later.

[junder]

Whatever you do involving emotions, the results will not be good. Moreover, if you gamble then you will lose if you gamble with emotion, because when gambling you have to be calm and relaxed in order to master the game, and if you play with emotion then you will be controlled by the game.
Professional gamblers will not involve emotions when gambling, and when a little emotion arises they try to relax and take a deep breath to neutralize it. And in my opinion, this method is the best solution when emotions arise, and it would be even better if you know yourself when gambling because this way you can anticipate when signs of emotions start to appear.

Unfortunately, I agree with you, it is true that everything that is done involving emotions tends to have bad results, even if it doesn't involve money. while gambling is something that really involves money, because money is the main actor in gambling that must be there to be able to do it, and if we do it accompanied by emotions of course there is a big possibility that the results will be messy, where we can lose a lot of our money, because in reality Many people who gamble well and calmly tend to end up losing, especially if we gamble emotionally, maybe we won't just lose once, but more losses will occur because emotions are not well controlled. It is true that gambling must be done calmly and relaxedly, I myself gamble when I have free time because I think the gambling I do should be enjoyed as much as possible, even if it ends in defeat, don't make it a problem. Thinking about it hard will not change the situation. , but it will only make our minds more messy, therefore it is not recommended that gambling be done with emotions, because it will be detrimental, but profitable for the casino, because what the casino is looking for is profit from the many gamblers who lose hahaha.

That makes sense, maybe for professional gamblers they will actually be serious about their gambling. by doing it carefully, considering everything carefully before making a decision. and as you said it is with them trying to relax and take a deep breath to neutralize it. but in my opinion this is more directed towards blackjack or poker gambling, for gambling in the form of slots it seems impossible, but I don't know, maybe there is. The clear point is, don't gamble with emotions involved, it could have fatal consequences for everything you do. Doing gambling calmly is the way to enjoy it.

btw, isn't that the purpose of a casino being built to make a profit from its customers?
casinos are built using large amounts of money and of course the casino also wants profits to cover the capital that has been spent to build a large and luxurious casino to provide a happy place for its customers and we as customers are required to have a responsibility to manage it ourselves.
I mean the casino has provided a place for gamblers who want to have fun in a luxurious way and the casino thinks that all the gamblers who have entered the casino will already know all the risks so the casino will not think long about the risks that the customers will face and will just just thinking about growing his business and that's very natural.

so as gamblers we have full responsibility for all of our self control not to bet excessively, avoid things that trigger greater losses of money, especially when emotions are better avoided than continuing to bet and ultimately losing.
emotions always play a major role in the destruction of gamblers, so when you are under emotional stress, it is better to forget about gambling for a moment.

emotions always play a major role in the destruction of gamblers, so when you are under emotional stress, it is better to forget about gambling for a moment.

as I said before, the purpose of casinos building and establishing gambling places is to make a profit, obviously they set up and build casinos or gambling places to spend large amounts of money, and that's not without reason, right? Of course, their aim is to take advantage of everyone who gambles in their place, and those who cannot control their emotions will of course gamble irregularly. with that they can spend a lot of money on gambling and that becomes an advantage for the casino, even though there are players who win, I'm sure the number of players who win at the gambling casino is fewer than the gamblers who lose. They should already know the risks when they gamble, but there are still many cases where they are not aware that the gambling they are doing is excessive, even though the casino does not guide or demand them to gamble, the casino only provides a place for them to have fun, However, they themselves often do it too much so that they experience huge financial losses, and there have been many cases of people whose lives have been destroyed because of gambling, but that is because their own actions have required them to experience the destruction of their lives, whether financially or in health and relationships.

It's true, if they really have good thoughts and have good responsibility then they won't gamble excessively, but in reality only a few gamblers can be responsible for the gambling they do, most of those who gamble don't think about the downside, because they just want a big win to happen and they always think about that when gambling so they put aside the losses first and don't even think about it at all, as long as they can gamble it makes them happy even if they lose. I agree with you, if we are experiencing emotional stress then it is better for us to forget about gambling for a while, don't force ourselves to continue gambling which will not necessarily change the situation for the better.

On the other hand regrets will always come at the end and everyone experiences the same, but I think we should not be too excessive in terms of regretting it because after all it has already happened, and it means that changes must be made so that we can avoid the same events as before.

​I agree with you, I say that as a person you have a limit to bet, you Cannot leave everything to chance and let everything go to another limit, no, you have to have the Ability to do it and how can you face this type of games whether they win or not, for now things can be done Differently to do anything, when I go to bet what I have it is a limit for my Money , but it has never happened that I reach a certain amount of money and I want to go Further , but this makes me think that if we are a person who has a limit to pay, I think we must consider the exact amount and that after that we cannot go overboard with the profits Because it Would be part of the concept of greed. and greed is what we cannot achieve, because greed, greed is one of the enemies that appear to us when we are playing, and that is the only thing that Makes us Waste all the time.

In many cases I have seen that things when a player is Given many Opportunities while Being on a trend of good Winning streak, the person goes crazy betting everything because they want to bet everything to go ahead with their money, but that is a Practice Suddenly you feel like you have a lot, but if you lose you are left with Nothing, so you have to Know how to bet, you have to know how to take risks, because if we do it like crazy, all the work that was done before can go overboard.

Personally, I don't have a profit limit , but if I see that I've been on a Winning streak long enough and even if I'm on a streak, I wouldn't put a lot of money to continue Betting , because from one Moment to the next Eeverything can fall, the bad streak begins to arrive and that's it. where one must knowingly retire and the most common mistake of all is that when the losing streak Begins they begin to bet more and everything Begins to go Wrong and the Player becomes Decapitalized quickly , etnionce it is not worth it.

I think everyone knows this by now but one thing that baffles me is the fact that even if they already know that being emotional is bad for you as a gambler and it interferes with your way of playing if not completely disrupts how you usually play, people are still getting emotional about things especially when they're losing a lot and they haven't seen a lot of win in that session in time, maybe because we're all emotional human beings and that it's normal reaction for us to have that feeling, it's definitely a bad idea to be one but unless you're trained to be emotionally unattached to your games like a professional player, you're going to have a hard time doing it, my suggestion is that we should replace the emotional reactions that we've got depending on the situation, if you're frustrated and angry at losing a lot, try laughing it off and smiling, it's difficult because the experience was painful but at the least it's not that difficult for you to process.

In my experience, I have never gone through that as a gambler, but I have read and learned a lot from the stories of other communities on this platform about gambling in the casino. And it's not really good to get used to that because we will also be affected.

So, but at other times, there are other gamblers who play gambling so that even if they don't get emotional, they still experience defeat most of the time. That kind of scenario seems to be rare. It doesn't mean that we lost in gambling and became emotional, because when I lost, it was okay because I accepted it.

Emotions always make us panic and then we make instant wrong decisions. And if you make a wrong decision, you can never succeed.  Meanwhile, gambling depends on both luck and skill, so emotional and wrong decisions will never bring you a win. So we should always keep our emotions under control. Then we will be able to do something good be it gambling or something else. so never panic and emotional

So we should always keep our emotions under control. Then we will be able to do something good be it gambling or something else. so never panic and emotional

If we experience that from time to time, it means we are not learning or have not matured yet. It's normal for newbies and the young ones to get more emotional, especially if they are risking so much money that when they lose, they'll have a hard time with their other living expenses. Although I agree that gambling is based on luck, at least 50% maybe, we should always be smart enough to develop a strategy we learn over time. However, that would be useless if we cannot still control our emotions.

Think of this, gambling is not considered a short-term income; it's a long-term one. Anyone who can achieve that kind of success, I would say they are professional because they learn to develop themselves over time.

Our decisions in the system should be on lowkey and none of these people becomes very promising other than the current results they're generating. Keep the panic level high and don't settle for less results, that's definitely the way to build strong connections in the system. Gambling depends on everything, gamblers used luck, good winning techniques to push forward to reap winning at their end. Emotions is really what we should avoid in the system. Gambling with emotions is never what we stick to, rather its well acknowledged to start driving for the firing force in the system.

[Albarq]

from the gambling system, there is definitely competition. You definitely know that when you lose, it causes you to suffer a financial loss, which makes it inevitable that from an emotional perspective, you become disappointed and it's hard to get out of your head, but it's a normal thing and the risks of gambling and you have to be prepared mentally, when losing makes it a burden on your mind and you always think about it. when I lose, but now I can control my emotions, I am more stable than before and it is progress for myself, making every time I gamble, the results are not bad thanks to my peace of mind and it is better now.

In this scenario, you're the one at the losing end, your funds are at stake as well as your emotions.

We usually try to find the excuses when we lose in gambling. We try to play the blame game when we know that it is of no use. If anyone thinks that when he is emotional, he loses, they why he or she gambles when he is not in the best of moods ?
This is really strange behavior by many gamblers and gamblers seriously need to think over it, to overcome this habit.

You should recognize when you're having a bad day in gambling and as soon as you observe yourself getting emotional, you just quit before it gets very bad.

 Having a gambling budget is a huge advantage, you fund your account with the amount for the day's gamble, as soon as it gets exhausted,  that signifies the end of your gambling session.

When you feel that the luck is not on your side , better to quit. I do not know why people insist on keep playing and keep losing. It’s a common sense to give a break from gambling and come back fresh again. It could be after few hours or after a day. This depends on how much portfolio you have lost in gambling and how much still left for the portfolio that you have dedicated to gambling.
If a gamblers hasn’t dedicated certain money for gambling, then its means that he is not doing money management and it can lead to a big failure in the long run.

That's why I'll advise that before any individual goes into gambling they should 1st kill their emotions, before even making a decision on staking any amount of money in gambling you should be aware that the outcome of the event might be good or bad, that's the concept of gambling, you either win or lose, that's why before you stake your money into it you should consider the amount and if it's something you could afford to lose.

 The more reason why most get emotional when they lose their bet is due to the amount they staked imagine an individual betting with about $5k plus and end up losing such individual would feel very bad or even  bad and might even break down especially when they had the mindset of doubling their money through gambling to make more, that's why gamblers should bet with what they can afford to lose.

[shivansps]

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 very pressing question for gamblers, in my opinion. After a victory, I personally find it easier to cope with emotions than after a defeat. I mean, there are people who, after winning, also go to extremes and try to win even more and end up losing everything.
The answer to your question lies in the question itself. Are you asking how to win this battle? I believe that it is not worth joining this battle. This will be the most competent decision. If you enter into this battle, you will be defeated from time to time. The best battle is the one that didn't take place.
What I mean?! Set yourself a budget, money that you can afford to lose, that is, that you can part with without any problems. If you lose and your bet does not go through, then do not make any other bets. You should have a clear strategy that you have developed before placing a bet, and not during the game when the pressures take over you

Gambling consists of processes or stages that a player need to bypass. It's normally usual to see a gambler who gets emotional after losing funds in the game. This has to do with the type of money the gambler wagers. A player who puts in few dollars wouldn't get emotional for losing the money. The only difference between gambling and purchasing items in the market is the physical presence of the purchased items, which can be sold back if the player feels emotionally drowned for purchasing an expensive product. Gambling losses has no other means of getting it back, except for trying again another day or session.

However, the chances of winning again remains slim and the player would have a tough time earning back the funds without losing some of it. Hence, when gambling it's mostly important to check carefully if the amount about to be wagered will affect us emotionally if lost. Same thing happens to the Op, he actually gets happy after winning and worried when he losses. Allowing ourselves to be this type of players is not wrong, as we are humans. But, overdoing it would get a player, probably, into trouble. Because human emotions controls how the person behave. Getting obsessed to get back the lost funds is one idea that could be fueled by feeling emotionally down as a gambler.
