When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[criptoevangelista]

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?

Being emotional is not good for gambling at all because when a gambler becomes emotional, his bets are more likely to lose rather than gain. Emotion control is very important, especially for new gamblers. New gamblers become emotional when they initially lose a bet and subsequently increase their bet and bet more to recover past lost bets resulting in more losses. If I lose a bet more than once I try to control myself and. If I can't control myself then of course I keep myself busy with work.

Emotional management is essential not only for betting and casinos but also for everything in your personal life, I always try to follow the teachings of my elders: never make a decision when you are very sad or very happy, wait for things to calm down and take a decision. Rational decision.

We always make wrong choices when we are dominated by emotion... dealing with emotions is one of the ingredients for success.

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 know, you can get a lot of advice from different people. Then I will also tell you my opinion. There are people who should not gamble. These are the emotional people you just described. Unfortunately, I understand what you are talking about, when you try to win back a loss, sometimes emotions take precedence over reason and in the end this only leads to a greater loss of money.
To answer your question, I will say, no matter how many opinions you would not have heard, if after a long time nothing changes and you also continue to lose to emotions, then most likely you just need to stop playing.

Maybe more better for people to stop doing those risky activities when they are mentally unstable. Since even if they are aware about this things there are still chances that they get bothered especially if they are so emotional and cannot think more clearly specially on other things that currently what they do.

Just gamble when they are in good condition or happy since this will give them positive outlook and can decide well depends on the situation occurs to them. We always commit mistakes if we are not mentally present on what we are doing that's why if we are in bad state much better to rest and decide only to gamble if everything is in good shape.

Impulsive decisions can be wrong for most people because they are unable to control themselves excessively. If you keep losing at the casino, you may have a sense of failure that can hurt you more financially, so you should stop gambling. You should remember that every day may not be auspicious for you so it is better to withdraw yourself in adverse luck situations.
It is very important for every person to control himself over time because excessive emotions can cause great harm to you.

At first you must seriously work on your emotions then after which you must also learn how to control your taste for money especially when you feels like doubling your money. When you are winning it gives you more courage to keep gambling and when you are losing it saddens you and hence wouldn't want to keep losing maybe you would want to apply the martingale principle to keep increasing your betting size but at then it's wrong because you are only creating more ways for you lose since the fear is already in you and hence may gambling with desperation.

Only gamble with sports bets many days before the game, you will be more in judgement then just emotionally gambling the odds.   The closer it gets to the actual game being live while betting the more involved and emotional the bets will become.

You dont have to do all extremes in your bets, what you could use instead is to taper your bets.   Reduce the amount you can bet on a game by 20% every day, start at 100% but by the time you add or alter your bets later on only be betting 20% of what you did originally when less emotionally driven by the game.   Unfortunately all solutions probably will involve some self control or at least good planning to your budget used.

That's good that they (these solutions) will be involved, as these are keys to having a good time while gambling! You gave some good advice and a way to improve the discipline of a player, thus ensuring his well-being if your tips are taken into action.

Right, it means that the approach to gambling must be really guarded, in the sense that a gambler must really be able to manage emotions and control the following also by limiting their expectations of winning. So far, in my opinion, understanding the following also by realizing what risk is must be really emphasized in the mindset, because by understanding that opportunities are nothing more than possibilities that will not always happen as expected, then I think they will not be too reckless in making every decision.

I am sure that anyone definitely does not want to experience a significant loss, therefore controlling emotions is really the main key so that we can manage our finances well, because if not, of course various impulsive actions will definitely be unbearable, in the sense that they will definitely easily fall into various aggressive actions when they want to try to take revenge for the first defeat they experienced and of course as you said that it is an idea that will ultimately only lead them to a greater amount of loss.

Hopefully, we will always remember that so we don't have to experience a big lose when playing gambling. Although that may difficult for some of us but it is worth to keep trying because that can helps us to reduces our losses in gambling. We must understand that when we becomes emotional, we will gets too deeper in gambling and there will be no way out from gambling except losing all what we have.

Reducing the amount of money to playing gambling is necessary to prevents the lose becomes big and we can avoids the biggest problem in gambling which is addicted to gambling. Many people lose their control in gambling because they becomes too emotional and thinks that they can gets what they wants. If they realizes that, they will not lose much money instead just lose the money they can afford to lose.

Emotions made us lose most time, because we lost our bet we won't be happy anymore and because of that most gambler feels depressed and if they don't make a stop decision at that time they might lose again because their minds are no longer concentrated. One reason why one don't have to make any decisions while he or she is angry is because that's the moment you feels like you are doing the right thing whereby you are not. The op is losing because his not concentrating anymore when he's emotionally depressed by his loss.

And the most crucial for gamblers is to control emotions, especially when experiencing repeated defeats by making repeat deposits. to be able to control emotions with that requires discipline, plus practice. because if not trained, then someone will have difficulty controlling their emotions. we even often experience, when in a betting session often circumstances make us emotional. either in a winning moment, or experiencing consecutive defeats. even gamblers who have disciplined their gambling, are not immune to losing control. however, the situation sometimes does not always bring bad luck. sometimes, we are given the momentum to return the money that has been lost while getting an unexpected sensation of victory. well, this is gambling with everything that is uncertain. talking about some of the points you said, that's how our psychology is often affected by emotions in gambling situations. so far there is no most effective way that can be applied in general, other than us as responsible gamblers.

The first step is identifying your problems and that's the first step to solving a problem and I'm glad you're able to identify the problem and I'm also glad that you're already seeking solutions to the problems.
Everyone has their ways of handling different gambling challenges and the ability to know when to stop and when to keep playing in gambling is one key factor to success and the idea of chasing after losses is another one that leads to gambling addition without people knowing.

Having a gambling budget and sticking to the biggest is one way to stay focused in gambling as it will help you get to your limits.

One hard truth is that, whenever we are about to put money or staking money into something, be it any business that has some risk exposure, there is always an emotional attachment that will follow suit on that investment or money we placed or staked, Now bringing this down to the gambling world, your level of emotion will be determined by how much you are risking, basically what you are capable of losing,

Taking you for instance, let's say ones salary is $10k,  one can lose $100 from his $10k salary and be fine but aren't gonna be that fine losing $1k out of this money, so it's necessary for every gambler to play according to their level of income or pocket and not risk funds that they will attach high emotions to and which will further affect their gambling decisions.

Yes and besides losing a lot of time, emotions also make us lose more money in gambling, where the reason is clear that everything that is done based on emotions is certainly a bad action or decision in the sense that it is too risky because there is no consideration whatsoever before making a decision and also the impact of these emotions can apply to everything we are doing.

Therefore, this is why gambling should only be done when we are in a calm mood, or what is meant is when our minds are calm and not experiencing any problems due to other things that make us under pressure, and this is also the reason why stopping at the right time is always recommended when you are running a session, because although basically emotions do not prevent you from being lucky and achieving victory, in the end, unwanted situations often occur again due to emotions that bring you back to an unexpected situation.

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

Everyone has this emotion in mind, but the only thing is that it differs because some it does not affect them that much while some it affects them that much. I have already witnessed such going after my loss, but why it does not affect me that much is because every day after I finish gambling I do calculate my win and loss so that I will know what I do in every day, so when I tried going after my loss for a day I ended up going out of my budget, and that was the reason why I know that going after my loss will not help me but only make me go bankrupt. 
 
So the solution that I used to take care of such a habit of not going after my lost was sticking to my budget and telling myself that in every day they must be a lost and even if you go after your lost that doesn’t determine you will win, and if you make yourself believe that even if you go after your lost you will keep losing then you will not have the interest to continue going after your lost.

Its all about control and moderation on which on the time or moment that you would really be finding yourself on such condition on where you are losing and ending up on having
that kind of impulsive approach or actions on which it would really be leading into disaster. It would really be just that normal that someone will really be impulsive or highly reactive when losing money.

We are just humans and we dont really like on losing money but since you've been decided to deal up with gambling then you should really be that making yourself accepting on what are the things that you could probably be able to encounter on which winning and losing would really be only the two possible outcome that you could be able to do such thing.

This is why its important that self realizations and acceptance towards gambling activity and the outcome or results. So that you wont be finding yourself that too highly reactive
on which it might cause of you to make out some impulsive decisions on which this is really not that good in overall.

Exactly accepting you lost is constant because if you try not to accept you lost then definitely you will go astray, and going astray in gambling is not something easy to overcome. In this life, you have to believe in the ups and downs because, without them, you have no chance of success. Failure determines your experience, and your experience determines your success. That is how it works, so it is simple math. Just believe in whatever the outcome of the game comes with so that you will have a slight chance of getting addicted to gambling. So trust yourself and believe in your losses; that is all I will say to all gamblers.

chasing loss in gambling is like someone who is adding more flame and I know that is not good for a gambler to because of the experience he had in gambling by losing in gambling that will make him to be looking for a way to recover what it has recovered, so we don't need to think such, because I know very well that thinking such will make the person to be addicted and once you are addicted in gambling you can be easily be depressed, I have not seen anything good to pursue your what you have lost already in gambling, so I think is bad to do such.

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.

For a good amount of time when I'm still starting as a gambler, it's way easy to let my emotions get ahead of me, and fuck up my mental which ends up with me losing more than what I am supposed to lose, especially during the times when my friends and I created this contest amongst ourselves (talked about it in my previous posts, just a little competition amongst friends where whoever bags the biggest win at the end of the session gets to take the prize pot home).

As time went by and as I became a more seasoned gambler I began to achieve a level-headed mindset, and I got better at dealing with my emotions. So I reckon that as long as you have the self-awareness to realize whether you're going too far or not, eventually there will come a time when you will have to control your emotions whether you like it or not. At least based on my experiences.

What some people fail to realize is you are trapped in a catch-22 situation. In most casino games and even on the sportbook, you are destined to lose all your money over time. Casino games are engineered to feed your wallet balance to the casino piece by piece over time, the odds are in their favor. Sportbooks give you the chance of winning, but bookmakers specialize in predicting on average better than anyone gambling their money away - they win a lot of money by choosing correctly, so put a lot of their resources into analysis. You will constantly be losing while gambling, so it's going to bring your mood down and you end up in a vicious cycle - often the only way to break free if you are truly addicted, is to abstain entirely from it, then you will slowly find happiness again.
