When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[hyudien]

I think all gamblers must have experienced emotional gambling by doubling their bets both when they lose and when they win. Maybe this is a common thing because with this we can learn from our mistakes, especially emotional mistakes that make us suffer big losses in gambling.

When I first started gambling, I often gambled emotionally, but after learning a lot from my own experience and others on this forum, I was able to gamble well, and even when emotions arise, I was able to control them. The key is to often read gambling advice from other gamblers because it will change our mindset when gambling, or at least we can control ourselves when our gambling is not going well.

For me, the best way to win the battle as you said is to often read advice from other people's experiences because we will automatically remember them when gambling, so we can enjoy gambling. My personal experience is like that, there are many ways to win such a battle, it all depends on each person, which way is effective for you.

yes, it must be everyone experiences it too, in my opinion, it is a natural thing because it is not strange if they gamble and experience emotions over results that are not in accordance with their expectations, because the majority of people who gamble aim to win but the results are often disappointing so it is natural that there is a sense of emotion in him I myself admit that, but what must be considered is that the emotions that exist must be controlled properly because if they cannot be controlled properly then it will make us take or behave worse.
when we are emotional, there must be other people who might remind us or try to make us aware with the advice given and it must be accepted well. but for those who are stubborn, advice from anyone will not be listened to because they only want to get what they want. besides reading other people's advice, I also think we ourselves must have awareness because if there is no advice then there will be no intention to read other people's advice.

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.

It's great to hear you improving upon your own actions. While I agree with the fact that listening to other, more experienced gamblers can help, your own mistakes or good actions will make even bigger wonders in the long run. There won't be an omelet if you don't break some eggs.

We have already discussed a lot that emotions are one of gamblers main enemies, but havent talked much how can a gambler learn or train to be less emotional and have a better self-control. It is clear that it all should come with experience, but as we are all different, someone can be a fast learned, and someone needs years and thousands and thousands to be lost before he learns something. How do you train discipline? Any suggestions you would give to fresh or inexperienced players?

After every loss or win that you consider a good catch or a pretty bad situation, don't rush into action to regain what you lost or to double what you've got, truth is, those are the moves that are awaited from you. Take a deep breath, consider your odds, your mood, your money to spend, and only then the decision should be made (that's my opinion). There is no point in the rush for glory or to regain it.

Diversify your risks, don't spend everything on one game, and choose 2-3 that you like the most, but not too much, it shouldn't embarrass you to play it or to spend your time in it.  

What would you recommend?

I cant recommend much, as I dont gamble to earn. I do get disappointed a bit when I lose, that is normal, but I dont show much emotions (negative) when loosing, that would trigger spontaneous bets. I cant give much recommendations to emotional gamblers. I can suggest only to play slowly, maybe even make a pause after a series of losses, or focus for a while on something less stressful. Even a simple action like washing face with cold water help to calm down and be less emotional.

Zero percent of emotion should be used in gambling or making any important decisions. Emotions never make good decisions. Intelligent people always control their emotions and do not take any decisions out of anger. If you are overly emotional and this emotion manifests in your gambling then I would suggest that you first learn to have full control over your emotions before taking such risky actions. The point is that you have lost money gambling and then you impulsively gamble more money which is a foolish decision. Smart people will stop there and wait for a good time without betting more money at that time. The more control you have over your emotions, the more accurate your decisions will be and the more successful you will be.  Sometimes emotions seem to be the greatest enemy of a man.

The thing is that everyone has data from birth due to genes, and if our parents were emotional, then we will most likely be like that too. Another thing is that despite this data, we can train our emotional perception in the game. You can try to control your emotions with your mind as much as possible, of course, this is very difficult to do and is only available to those who show persistence and willpower. I even see for myself how emotional I used to be and how easy it was to get me mad in the game, but at the moment I have learned to control it so much that I do not experience any problems with it now, even if I lose several times in a row.

Yes, I have this problem too, but I haven't solved it yet. I can lose a maximum of 300 bucks, but sometimes, when the slot gives me nothing, I get unrealistic anger, which leads to higher bets and aggressive play.

Did you try to close your eyes after the situation like that and think to yourself, that, it's not really worth it to charge into the fight again? I feel you and I understand that it may be hard, but the lessons like that should be observed and learned afterward, not from the first try maybe, but looking into the future. The future should contain a better version of yourself rather than the old you, in my opinion.

It seems to me that it makes no difference how aggressively a person who uses a deposit limit gambles. You limit your maximum possible losses, and the probability of winning mostly depends on the algorithm of distribution of winnings. If you are unlucky, then no matter how aggressive were not your actions during the gambling session, it is unlikely to affect its outcome.

Of course, it is possible to train yourself and your mind, as well as your behavior during critical losses, but the player himself is a person, such a complex biological computer that sometimes he himself does not know what to expect from himself. There are even moments when the strongest professional can break down at a moment when no one expected from him, for example, a loss to a newbie. After such an offensive blow to a professional, he can be knocked off track and he will not be like himself at all. This will grow like a snowball of problems and losses, after which several sessions with a psychologist will be required to recover.

Bringing yourself under control over time is definitely conducive to a positive and winning gambling outcome. Basically, those who can control their emotions can succeed, which can again tempt themselves to win. But for this you need to have hard work and genetics is definitely important. I have seen passionate people who have been strict with their finances and they have suffered greatly. Their losses were due to gambling losses and they could not control their emotions and eventually became addicted which cost them financially and socially.

Difficult but can be done by practice, if you are focus and you have that kind of determination sooner or later you'll be able to manage to control your emotions, very helpful in all situation as you can figure things out the right when you don't blindly follow your emotions. There's a big need of good discipline and good practice as you have that competition inside you,

both lust and desire against your determination to control not to follow any kind of emotions while you are still actively playing to avoid any excess mistake and lose your hard earned money.

I'm not greedy, but sometimes it really pisses me off when slots just don't pay anything, or when you lose, they give you a small bonus and then drain everything again. I just start to lose my temper.

When you are really that dealing up with gambling then it would really be just that normal that you do become that emotional on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be able to experience those tough situations on which you will really be having that kind of disappointment on the time that you would really be losing up on gambling. When you do lost a game then of course you would really be that disappointed and on the moment that you are on such condition then you would really be that become impulsive and on the moment it happens then this is where greed and addiction do kicks in.

This is why you should really be that careful on whatever decisions that you would really be making because on the moment that you do find yourself having no control over your emotions or with your mindset
then you are really that bound to experience those bad decisions just because you had made yourself that being too careless and being to rush up on making decisions which it might cause
up that huge loses even further.

But the whole point of life is to live it experiencing happy emotions. After all, we are not robots and those who live only with their brains but not with their hearts risk being productive but very unhappy people.
Therefore, you really need to live the way you described, but at the same time you need to sometimes give free rein to your feelings.
I recommend using extreme sports, traveling or computer games for this. These are activities that give us good memories, new topics for conversation.

[Marykeller]

As human beings we are, our emotions always come into play in each of our gambling bets results(winnings or losing). It's now left for us to have control over it or allow it to rule over us in our decision-making to continue gambling or call it a quit in our gambling activities for the day. But remember, he who allows their emotions to have a better side of them doesn't usually succeed in whatever they are doing at the moment. It's always advised for one to be in complete control of their emotions because that always gives them a better advantage to analyze the better step to take that will land them a favorite experience

Gambling is a mental illness with serious consequences. Along with economic losses, gambling causes serious deterioration of mental health. Therefore the protection of mental health requires freedom from gambling addiction. But if you want to gamble then set a certain time and amount so that you have a situation where you can control your emotions even if you lose. Also i spend time with friends and busy myself with new activities to control my emotions after a loss so that my bad behavior does not spread beyond the family.

Whoever cannot control his emotions should not gamble when he is emotional because that can lead to huge losses, if you are gambling and losing it is a norm that you will become emotional, at that point it is good to stop playing and go on a break if you must still play on that day. Personally, when I get emotional I don't gamble anymore till the next day.

It is when we are free with our minds and happy that we will enjoy gambling and that can also bring luck to you because you are enjoying the game.

That's a lot of money. Did you lose it all in just a day?
You are no different from other slot gamblers and I am also frustrated when a losing streak happens. Just recently, I played the Pragmatic Play games and wherever I go it's always a losing streak without any free spins coming out. I hated myself for picking Pragmatic Play and I should have just gone back to other slot providers than it.
I lost a good amount but thankfully I got it back in the NETENT slot provider. I did not actually expect it will be given back that fast but I was happy that it worked out just fine.
Don't do changes in the amount you bet, it will just speed up your wallet being depleted.

the most important thing is that you have fortified yourself with knowledge and understanding of what you can do and what you should not do. so when you play you will not be lulled, even when you are in a losing situation.
the real situation that makes you closer to addiction is victory. so when you win more often, it makes your psychology being played. and if you lose, then you will fall into gambling addiction.
the mental health you mentioned is related to how far the gambler falls into addiction. we know the risks, and we take those risks. we should have prepared ourselves mentally to fight the emotional pressure that the gambler will get.

Winning will make it addictive to increase the bet.
Losing will be emotional and want to make up for previous losses.

If the gambler cannot control emotions then all his actions will become chaotic because it is not with the calculations that he thinks about his steps, whether it will be good or bad.

I think discipline is also included in controlling emotions, so it is important for every gambler to have responsibility for it, because what I know is that gamblers leave it without direction and it will damage them mentally and financially.
