When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[Makus]

I agree that when we are especially in need, that's when it causes more loss. Emotions, regrets, frustration, stress, or whatever negative feeling that we are feeling is the root of all that. We are not thinking straight and that's because we want our revenge, the worst part is we want it fast, we want it now, so we keep on depositing money until we run dry.
In my case, whenever I take a one-day rest, I find myself winning in slot games. But whenever I try to keep on depositing in just one day, the losses are growing so far that I am so frustrated at what I did. We must take those breaks if we want to keep our cool. After a sleep or a meal, maybe it will all calm down and we can be better at making decisions again.

As a gambler who have had several experience on gambling and have the basics knowledge of how this things work, you should be  able to know when to quit irrespective of your loses or wins. There is no way you can compare your wins and loss and gambling and boldly say that your wins are more than the loses except you only got lucky and hit the jackpot.  The house is always on the wining side the sooner you understand this the more responsible you start gambling especially if you are the type that listens and take correction to aid profitability.  The best way to gamble and be satisfied is when you discipline  yourself to make good decisions even at tough or tight times. Letting go of greed would do  a gambler good.

Being decipline about your decisions in gambling is the only thing that can keep one in check as a gambler. Although I'm not an experienced or well experienced gambler but it's obvious to say that overdoing things and not having limits as well as boundaries to whatever you do in life especially when it has to do with financial risks is equivalent to planning to fail. So, I concur with your assertion that one must be decipline when gambling and that's about all you need to keep yourself in check.

Losing money leaves us with a more extended memory than winning does to our brain. Holding to our losing thoughts generates extra losses. There would have been fewer depressed gamblers if players hadn't been so bothered by their losses. It's common among humans to regret making a mistake. But, after winning money, we tend only to stay happy for a short time. This human behavior works with our mindset. As I said earlier, players receive what's on their minds when gambling.

If a player weren't bothered about winning or losing, he wouldn't stick to his computer for hours watching it happen. Indeed, with a few rest, a player would reschedule his thoughts for good. Normalizing the losses we get in gambling prepares us for bigger trouble. This time, it won't be about money, but mental disorder. Families having their worst experience and all sorts of misunderstandings is a more significant loss than losing money. Players should consider the implications of their thoughts and work hard to fix them.

but in my opinion the reality is the opposite, in fact many people are more depressed because of the defeat that occurred because they themselves could not accept the defeat, so that what is on their mind is wanting to recover the loss and of course with such thoughts will make them continue to gamble even though they have experienced defeat or lost a large amount of money. this is one of the impacts that can occur when gambling with uncontrolled emotions. as much as possible we must be able to control the emotions in ourselves so that there are no emotions that lead to greater losses. when gambling has been done with the emotions in us, gambling is no longer about money, but about the continuation of life where if they cannot stop then there will be destruction of life caused by actions that are actually not recommended such as continuing to force themselves to gamble. therefore it is very important to be able to stop and rest because the mindset will be chaotic if they continue to force themselves when they have experienced defeat.

[junder]

I agree with that, indeed when the emotional state is unstable, the mind tends to become messy and usually will make decisions that are not well considered. In addition to affecting emotions, gambling can also affect thinking which makes greed. We have to think about how to be able to control ourselves so that there are no missteps in decision making. Actually, the defeat that occurs does not need to be overthought because of course in a game winning or losing is normal, but with gambling it may dominate more is defeat.

Now with the fact that defeat dominates this we must be able to accept, because when we think too much about it it can actually make us more aggressive and tend to peak emotions which of course lead to reckless decisions. If the gambling that is done has ended in defeat then you should stop to rest your mind.

Yes in gambling who do extra research lose more than win. I can never be sure that I will win on my gamble. So even if there is hope of win, there is need to be prepared for defeat. Defeat can happen at any time. Who have been gambling for a long time think that defeat is certain. But since neither win nor defeat is guaranteed here, people keep trying. Gamblers who care more about winning or need to win are more likely to lose.

I placed so many bets that I lost at a time when I needed money the most. And when I didn't need to win, I won. You must control your emotions in gambling. When a gambler can control his emotions, his losses will also decrease.

the difference lies in the thinking, for those who are wise in gambling of course they can gamble reasonably with the limits set which aim to prevent addiction, I apply this myself because I have experienced where I lost control of myself and with that incident I also learned a lesson to gamble more carefully. losing or winning is common in a game, we just need to know where our limits are, I myself don't want to take big risks so I just bet reasonably.

a mistake when you need money and gamble then hope for gambling because it can make emotions run wild and lose self-control. luck will come when it's time, but no one knows when luck will be on your side so I suggest not to be too excessive in gambling so that emotions can still be controlled properly including the situation.

[DaNNy001]

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?

It is difficult to stick to your stake when you gamble with emotions. As a gambler, it is difficult to leave after losing especially when you still have money to try again. Experience shows that people only leave the gambling house when they have no money left to gamble. It takes discipline to lose and still leaves even when there is still money in the pocket. There is a story of an apprentice who went to a gambling house with his boss's money with the hope of multiplying it. He was into virtual betting. He had $500 then he played a bet with $20, and he lost. Played again with $20, he lost. Instead of leaving, he started increasing his stake since he believed that it would be easy to recover from his loss by increasing his stake. He continued like that until he exhausted the money.

I am a victim of this behavior but then I have tried to control this behavior by ensuring that before I gamble I settle my bills. If I don`t settle my bills, I will end up using it to gamble. Self-control is not guaranteed for me when I am losing and my mind will become preoccupied with recovering the funds lost thereby losing all I have got. Emotional gamblers are always losers and disheartening is the fact that they only tend to remember their wins without considering that they have even lost more in their quest to recoup their losses.

My friend always tell me to avoid gambling when I'm not emotionally stable, I've gambled due to pressure to pay some bills  and settle minor issues, playing with this tension and emotional instability made me lose a lot of money...it's very hard to stop playing for when you are losing... your points are absolutely valid, I've had a lot of bad experiences with chasing my losses cause I wasn't disciplined enough to control myself... gambling is all about luck but emotional gamblers are more likely to have a lot of losses

That's right, and I see that most people here have more or less the same opinion which directs us all to have full control over ourselves and our emotions which is true that emotional control or self-control is really a very important thing for someone to have when they are involved in an activity that contains risk.

As you said that everything that is done excessively is always bad, or the same as planning failure or maybe it could also be said that such actions will most likely only bring a gambler to a much worse situation such as experiencing a greater defeat, so of course we must have self-control and know about the various things that can trigger emotions, one of which is the inability to accept the risk of defeat, so there is one thing you must prepare if you really want to be able to control yourself easily to avoid emotions, namely by having the ability to always be able to accept the fact of defeat.

Even on a lucky day, someone can experience defeat if they gamble in an unstable emotional state, we must admit that almost most gamblers have experienced this condition. In fact, a professional gambler will also find it difficult to control their emotions when under pressure while gambling, especially if they think about the necessities of life that can make it difficult for someone to focus. The chances of winning in gambling are very small, we can imagine if we are not focused and only think about profit, what happens is losing a lot of money. The pattern of a gambler is actually almost the same, what makes it different is their drive and goal to always gamble.

If gamblers get what they have in mind, we would all be rich, because any of us dream of a big win and waiting for it every gambling session. Our thoughts and emotions if and affect the result of the gambling session is insignificant, because it is mostly affected by the limitation of the deposit and cold calculation. In addition, the distribution of winnings largely depends on the distribution algorithm and it does not care what state you are in.

Controlling yourself when gambling is one of the hardest things to do if you are losing too much or winning too much. Losing too much leads to a sense of failure and a desire to win even if you give it your all. At this stage addiction becomes evident in you and you continue to suffer financially which is an expression of emotions. Again due to excessive gambling, the desire to win more and greed for more wealth is terrible for you and you will not win every time and due to excessive addiction you will have losing days and you will suffer financially.

Discipline in gambling is reasonable but we need to pay more attention to sublimated emotions while gambling because this is one of the important parts behind so that gambling does not harm ourselves, it can be understood that due to excitement and letting emotions flow through the enjoyment process, excessive sublimation causes loss of control. Although the discipline is still there, the surge is too much, causing the discipline to be invaded by sublimation, the boundaries of discipline are not just things that gamblers need to comply with, the boundaries of discipline are to control infinitely sublime emotions.

When you discipline yourself over such issues in gambling, it will be very hard for you to feel like quitting gambling when winning or losing in gambling because you must know where to put stop when losing, which is the discipline am referring to in this trend.

Emotion has made many people to be addicted to gambling because they failed to pay attention to their emotion which is very important to every gamblers to listen and pay attention to their emotion in gambling, and it will make such gamblers to enjoy the benefits of gambling in the society. Don't allow your friends advise, to make you ignore your discipline and emotion because there are some friends that will make you to quit gambling like them for the wrong step they took in the past, concerning gambling which they will like to give you some tactics that will make you to lose to quit gambling.

Discipline is very important in our lives because it will safe us from the troubles and also maximizing our ratio when it comes to profits. We're here to lay hands on the necessary profits. We need to stay strong enough in the space and not troubled with the unprecedented results.

Gambling is never consider a good thing for anyone, some grown to be addicts which have definitely ruined their lives while others, happening to be the minor number's, are able to control their habits towards Gambling. Happiness is free, and everyone have the right to be happy, perhaps these individuals have decided to denied themselves of the one through attitudes. Help comes from our ends and our mindset. We're in either in a position to help somebody or somebody is in position to help us. We just have to do the right thing and do the necessities that will not limit us.

Some facts agree with you especially if I bet when I need to, I lose instead of winning. I have come across such situations quite a few times. And when I bet emotionally blackmailed I lose more bets. Once I bet to pay my college fees I lost my bet.   Then I bet more and more by being emotionally blackmailed and every bet I make loses. Now I don't blackmail myself emotionally but I have maximum control over betting. Now I don't bet out of necessity because betting out of necessity definitely never makes me profit.

      -     There are still other gamblers who accept losing in gambling, although there are still others who find it hard to accept their loss because of the amount of money they lost due to gambling.

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.

I mean that’s just it you know exactly what you need to do, just stop and pace yourself if you lose a game, maybe just leave the casino if you aren’t feeling it. Maybe go and do something that can make a greater difference in your day at the time. Go play with your kids or do something for your wife and then when you feel better go back and place your next bet.

Bearing losses and celebrating wins is what gambling is all about; anyone who can't bear losses is betting irresponsibly and should stop before becoming addicted. Anyone who gambles more than he can afford to lose is always emotional about their losses and finds it difficult to move on; some even go so far as to chase their losses, taking unnecessary risks for the maximum payout and continuing to lose

Very well said. That's a realistic approach to gambling; we shouldn't only recognize wins, as losses are inevitable. People often get addicted because they lack acceptance of losses when they are part of gambling. If we have the mindset to see and accept losses easily, we can enjoy gambling even if we do it long-term.

To learn and become more mature, we need to consider gambling as a long-term activity, focusing on consistent wins rather than daily wins. That's what gambling is all about. Nothing is impossible with gambling, as we always have a chance to win, sometimes even a big-time win like a jackpot. What's important to last is to never lose control and to stay within limits.

[pawanjain]

A common mistake when losing, trying to quickly recover you'll be force to double your bet, and most of the time that leads you to lose more and with aggression inside that kind emotion will eat you up and push you to keep adding more money, end of the day you lose more than you can let go.

It's a common mistake yet so many people are still falling for this. People need to understand this before they even start gambling.
Only if they determine strong self control since beginning, they can survive in gambling without going bank rupt.

In gambling, it is necessary to accept defeat, so the sense of responsibility must be there, because we cannot continue to celebrate victory without many more defeats.
In gambling it is enough to be able to control emotions, you have responsibility especially with good discipline in bankroll then I think it will be fine, there is no need to chase kerugain because this is definitely not going to be able to chase it.

[Cantsay]

Controlling yourself when gambling is one of the hardest things to do if you are losing too much or winning too much. Losing too much leads to a sense of failure and a desire to win even if you give it your all. At this stage addiction becomes evident in you and you continue to suffer financially which is an expression of emotions. Again due to excessive gambling, the desire to win more and greed for more wealth is terrible for you and you will not win every time and due to excessive addiction you will have losing days and you will suffer financially.

That is why it is always important to have a plan set up before you log into your account (if you’re not disciplined enough) but if you are the type that knows his right from his left then it won’t be a big deal controlling yourself.

It is true that controlling oneself during a losing streak or winning streak is difficult but you should always keep in mind that habit are not something you can easily manage in one day, control yourself and also controlling your emotions are things that should be gradually learned - if you as a gambler just delve into your account to gamble there’s a high chance that you’ll lose due to uncontrolled emotions but if you go there gamble a little if you notice that you’re becoming emotional then you quit and continue another time, if you keep doing it like that before you know what’s happening you’ll be able to tell when to quit and if you should keep going.
