When I'm emotional, I LOSS!

[betswift]

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 normal to feel emotional when you are losing but continuing to gamble in that state isn't good because you might lose more, we tend to make careless decisions whenever we are losing or chasing our profits.Aways remember that the best time to stop is when you are feeling emotional, take a break from your phone or computer and try to do other activities that would distract you from going back to playing more games because if you do there's a very high chance that you might lose everything you have

Great points! Cooling your head off with other activities is a great way to think about your bets that didn't go so well and come back with a fresh spirit and body intact. That way, with a good mood, you are going to have better odds, in my opinion

That is why we must learn about self control to prevents the bad thing that can occurs to use when we playing gambling. We can also handle our emotion not to becomes high because we will realizes if our emotion start to increase and will stops from playing gambling immediately. We will not risks ourselves by keep playing gambling when our emotion start increase because we know that can makes us lose control. Feelings of emotion when losing will increase but if we can handle ourselves, we will not gets any problem because we know how to stops that and still control ourselves. We must be wise using gambling as a way to have fun and understand how to manage our emotion especially we will see losing many times so we know how to prevents from becoming emotional.

Yes, learning and continuing to learn about how to consistently maintain self-control within ourselves while in a gambling place is also important to prevent the emergence of chaos from emotional feelings that arise when feeling unacceptable when getting a defeat and I agree with you being wise is one way to stop emotional feelings from within ourselves because with a wise attitude we will think carefully about what actions we should take next.

It's essential for the well-being of each person, so, of course. It's in everybody's hands to become a bit better in that field.

Yes, it all goes back to each individual, if we act well then the results will also be good for us but if on the contrary we act badly or recklessly then the results will be a disaster for our lives, right?
Yes and the point is thinking and behaving well and healthily will take us away from regret and depression.

That will only happen if you do not put a lot of money in your bet that will make you feel uncomfortable and you are not able to sleep properly because of the loss.

Making yourself cool and not get worried about the loss will only happen when you put a very little amount of money in each of your bet and games. The moment you put more money and you lost that bet, there is no way for you to keep calm and relax. Management of portfolio is a must in gambling otherwise it's too difficult to survive in gambling.

Yes, I can also assure you that it is really hard to accept the risk and let go of all the losses that have occurred, but it may not be impossible but it takes quite a long time to be able to make peace with yourself. So of course this is why the approach to gambling must be accompanied by limits, in the sense that whatever you want to do must be ensured that it does not exceed your capabilities.

Like in terms of putting money for example, because it is certain that losing a large amount of money is a painful situation where not everyone can accept the situation without giving any response or reaction of disappointment.
And also this is the reason why many of us suggest only gambling with a minimal amount, because in addition to being able to prevent you from losing a significant amount, this approach can also prevent us from significant emotions and regrets.

If you stick to risk management, it can protect you from rash actions in gambling, losses will happen in any case, it doesn’t happen any other way, you just need to perceive it as an integral part of gambling, but try to have as few of them as possible. Emotionality can be in case of a big loss, but if you can exclude it, then you can prevent it. If the bet size does not hang over 1% of your deposit, then you have nothing to worry about a losing bet, right? Therefore, competent planning of the game process can make gambling safe for you, unless of course most of your bets are losing.

In whatever thing we are doing, we shouldn't make the emotion we have in us get over the things we do because there is going to be an impact on each other, things can't be done together with the same emotion we are having on other things, and we will have learn on how to differentiate things and also control our emotions on anything we do, if not we may not be able to achieve or accomplish anything we wanted to do as desired.

Fear is a factor that makes some players not stop gambling. Humans have this fear of loss, but gamblers portray the opposite. They take the risk without calculating. Which attitude, shows how gamblers need to accept that they can lose all funds in a session. If they had this in mind, the fear of loss mindset would help regulate the player from taking too many risks.

Although in real life, fear of loss is a barrier to success in most cases, it could be helpful to gamblers. I suggest that such players set achievable goals and follow the process.

Fear - it's the primal scream in your brain, the cold sweat on your palms. It can paralyze you, or it can propel you. Gamblers? They dance with fear every damn day. But most of them don't get it. They think fear's the enemy. It's not

Fear's a compass, pointing straight at what you value most. You fear losing money? Good. That means you understand the stakes. Use that fear. Let it sharpen your focus, not cloud your judgment

Goals, process - this ain't just for the casino floor, it's for life. Know thyself. Know your limits. Push them, but don't shatter them. Every bet's a risk, every hand's a gamble. Embrace that uncertainty. That's where the thrill is, the raw edge of existence

Don't try to conquer fear, partner up with it. It'll keep you honest, keep you hungry. And that's how you win, in gambling and in life

Right, and maybe I will say the reason why emotions should not be involved when we are doing anything in life, where of course our actions and decisions are usually unmeasured, in the sense that it is very possible for someone, especially gamblers, to make decisions without any consideration when the decision is taken, which of course as we know that emotions always want a sense of satisfaction and in some cases in any case usually in the end these actions actually lead them to a much worse situation.

As often happens where gamblers continue gambling blindly due to their involvement accompanied by emotions and ultimately lose much more money.

On the other hand, I think there is actually only one thing that can be a solution so that we avoid these emotions, especially in gambling, namely by making yourself a responsible gambler, in the sense of having the ability to accept the risks of the decisions you have taken and also by realizing that gambling is a risky activity at any time.

By being prepared to any possible outcome will allow you to avoid such kind of emotions,  especially when you are dealing with gambling, knowing that the venue where you are involving yourself is a high risk place,  it's very important that you already have that acceptance so win or lose you need to move forward,  just like what you said most of the time those gamblers who followed their emotions lose more than what they can afford, to prevent yourself committing that same mistake better to set your limits and follow whatever happens you need to make that hard stop.  The only way to prevent getting that fear and be manipulated by your emotions.

Fear is a part of us and works with emotions. Fear can be converted to courage when we continue with our goals in its presence. Gamblers who allow fear to defeat their self-control stop being themselves. They permitted ideas from peers to derail the courage to stay responsible. Naturally, it's tempting not to try the other risky part, watching friends win big, and buying nice gadgets.

The responsible player may begin to think otherwise. The courage in him gets weak and disappears, and he'd have a hard time staying responsible again.

therefore we should be able to allocate money for gambling that is money that is ready to be lost so that it does not make us restless when a loss does occur. many people become confused when they lose and that is because they allocate money without being ready to lose, until when the loss of the allocated money occurs it makes them emotional which emotion can make them lose control like wanting to reverse the situation while there is no certainty clearly.

in my opinion even though they allocate a small amount of money but if they are not ready to lose it is the same, so the point is we must be able to allocate money in small or large amounts that are ready to be lost.
moreover by allocating a large amount of money to gambling which is most likely a defeat it will certainly make us emotional, this also involves self-control because when emotions start to emerge then this is where self-control is important, if there is no good self-control what will happen is following the existing emotions, while when there is good self-control then you can put aside or ignore the emotion, but it is unlikely.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's not easy, I agree, but it should be controllable with time and experience in such situations.

Yes, that's how holding back emotions when losing gambling is not easy for gamblers to do, but in any case controlling yourself can help gamblers not to be overly emotional when losing.
Well, from here it depends on each individual to learn to control themselves when they lose or have won.

Well emotions are something that we as humans should not repress, it is something that we must bring to the surface, but to do so the trick is that we must limit our resources when playing, if we have 1000usd it is crazy to spend it all, to have everything available, it is not the same to have 100usd to spend than 1000usd, that is where our control begins without repressing the emocoins, that is, while we play we can take out everything we have, but when we reach the limit of 100usd and it is spent we have to withdraw without even thinking that we are going to deposit again, that does not apply.

Although in real life, fear of loss is a barrier to success in most cases, it could be helpful to gamblers. I suggest that such players set achievable goals and follow the process.

When they realizes that they have fear of losing their money, they can reduce their gambling activity and not playing gambling too often. That can helps them to saves their money for other things so they don't have to get lose of much money. They don't have a solid reason to playing gambling because they are afraid to losing their money so they will not playing gambling too often. It needs awareness to realizes the reality and see that gambling is just one activity that doesn't need much money to have fun.

They must accepted whatever happens to them in the end of their gambling session so they will not have any feelings about what they gets from gambling. But not many people will have that feeling instead many people will return to casino and want to recover their lose and that can makes them getting more problem. Becoming emotional in gambling can ruin their day because they will lose much money without they realizes. We must not follow what other gamblers do by always limiting our money and time so we don't get emotional when playing gambling.

Yes, learning and continuing to learn about how to consistently maintain self-control within ourselves while in a gambling place is also important to prevent the emergence of chaos from emotional feelings that arise when feeling unacceptable when getting a defeat and I agree with you being wise is one way to stop emotional feelings from within ourselves because with a wise attitude we will think carefully about what actions we should take next.

Without learning more about self control, they will just getting trap by their emotional and can't do many things except following their emotion to recovers their lose. That happens to many gamblers out there so we must really control ourselves when playing gambling because we must prevents the big lose that can attract us to become emotional. To be wise when playing gambling is necessary and that will be a must thing that we must do because we can't risks big money to playing gambling. That can only gives more losses to us and once we gets some losses, that can triggers our feelings becomes emotional and sooner or later that can makes us playing gambling excessively. If we feels difficult to control our emotion, we can take a break from playing gambling for some time to introspect what we need to do to have self control and have a chance to prevents the emotional.

[zuzie]

Well emotions are something that we as humans should not repress, it is something that we must bring to the surface,

If suppressing emotions will actually make it worse for the gambler, it is better to let it out as you said, but we as gamblers must still be able to accept the risks for the future, whether we lose a lot or win, we will never be a gambler.
Yes, sometimes gamblers express their emotions by being more daring to bet with a lot of money, but there are also those gamblers who consistently maintain their emotions because they know that the results of gambling cannot be easily guessed and the profits are very difficult to obtain.

Without learning more about self control, they will just getting trap by their emotional and can't do many things except following their emotion to recovers their lose.

That is why self-control is very useful for all gamblers to prevent the emergence of various bad risks in gambling itself. Both in holding back emotions, self-control is also useful to prevent a gambler from becoming greedy and addicted to gambling because with good self-control, gamblers will play wisely, disciplined and careful and they only consider gambling as a fun activity, not a place to make money.

[danherbias07]

It's not easy, I agree, but it should be controllable with time and experience in such situations.

Yes, that's how holding back emotions when losing gambling is not easy for gamblers to do, but in any case controlling yourself can help gamblers not to be overly emotional when losing.

It's true that we must also release the emotions that we have to avoid getting crazy all of a sudden. But, there are instances where these emotions should also be suppressed especially if we are in the gambling industry.
I can tell that using experience only because I had been frustrated and mad many times that I deposited way too many times that I could not even control myself.
It's revenge that I want and I won't stop until I get it, that's the only thing on my mind, I also have the perspective of the RTP coming in anytime which is why I keep on betting even though that money is something that I cannot afford to lose anymore.
Emotions will always be there, control is not.

[Insanity]

Agree with what you say but in many cases we can't take gambling reactions for granted. If there is a loss after placing a bet in gambling then one should not do the foolish thing of bringing back that loss. After we win we spend time happily and treat people well. But when we lose there is a change in usage, this situation will tell you how much you are addicted to gambling. Moreover new gamblers are mentally broken because it is their first time trying to make money.

Everyone gets upset when they lose in gambling because no one likes to gamble and lose. Everyone wants to win in gambling but what I have noticed is that if someone wins in gambling he enjoys a lot and when he loses his mind is very bad.   It happens because he tries hard to recover the lost money. But we have to be careful never to get too addicted to gambling.

[Dewi Aries]

Right, and maybe I will say the reason why emotions should not be involved when we are doing anything in life, where of course our actions and decisions are usually unmeasured, in the sense that it is very possible for someone, especially gamblers, to make decisions without any consideration when the decision is taken, which of course as we know that emotions always want a sense of satisfaction and in some cases in any case usually in the end these actions actually lead them to a much worse situation.

Of course, so the point and key to staying away from various bad possibilities in gambling is by making ourselves capable of accepting any risks that will occur, because in the end it all depends on how we treat gambling in the sense that we are the ones who take and determine the risks. If basically we gamble reasonably in the sense of not doing various actions that tend to be excessive, then of course the impact that we will experience will not be too significant, or simply put, maybe you will only lose a small amount of money.

So make sure all your actions are measured in the sense that you must first consider before making a decision, because when everything does not exceed your capabilities, it is unlikely for you to be emotional, meaning it is also unlikely for you to experience bad impacts such as losing large amounts of money.

[Ojima-ojo]

One of the things that give a gambler motivation and joy is when they own predicts and statistics analysis win them the game, more than the game they just predict and depend on luck, because when you are decipline enough to do and follow your analysis, you allow yourself the time to reason out every of your decisions.

Attaching emotion when making your bet selection is somehow bad as if you are gambling between gambling, in the sense that you are not following any principle both yours and the one of others given to you.

[nara1892]

Yes, I can also assure you that it is really hard to accept the risk and let go of all the losses that have occurred, but it may not be impossible but it takes quite a long time to be able to make peace with yourself. So of course this is why the approach to gambling must be accompanied by limits, in the sense that whatever you want to do must be ensured that it does not exceed your capabilities.

Like in terms of putting money for example, because it is certain that losing a large amount of money is a painful situation where not everyone can accept the situation without giving any response or reaction of disappointment.
And also this is the reason why many of us suggest only gambling with a minimal amount, because in addition to being able to prevent you from losing a significant amount, this approach can also prevent us from significant emotions and regrets.

If you stick to risk management, it can protect you from rash actions in gambling, losses will happen in any case, it doesn’t happen any other way, you just need to perceive it as an integral part of gambling, but try to have as few of them as possible. Emotionality can be in case of a big loss, but if you can exclude it, then you can prevent it. If the bet size does not hang over 1% of your deposit, then you have nothing to worry about a losing bet, right? Therefore, competent planning of the game process can make gambling safe for you, unless of course most of your bets are losing.

Yes of course, none other than because after all a person is useless even if for example you try or find various ways to ensure victory or to increase the chances of winning in the end it will only be a waste of time, because after all victory can only be confirmed if luck comes at that time. The conclusion is because this is why it is better for us to focus more on risk management, I understand that by treating everything minimally then maybe the amount of your victory will not be too big.

But remember that a big win is also always a result that can never be ascertained, or simply there is no certainty and guarantee for you to be able to get a big win, and in some cases in the end the idea actually makes gamblers lose money in large amounts. Casinos are not stupid my friend, your carelessness is a big advantage for them.

So of course it is better to put limits on the approach we have such as in terms of putting the amount to be bet, because if the bet is small then it is clearly less likely for emotions to occur, and of course this is an approach that can keep us from the possibility of large losses.

[ethereumhunter]

That is why self-control is very useful for all gamblers to prevent the emergence of various bad risks in gambling itself. Both in holding back emotions, self-control is also useful to prevent a gambler from becoming greedy and addicted to gambling because with good self-control, gamblers will play wisely, disciplined and careful and they only consider gambling as a fun activity, not a place to make money.

By having self control will helps us to prevents the emergence of various bad risks in gambling. We will know how to manage our emotion and what we need to do when our emotion increase. We will not trying to keep playing gambling when we becomes emotional because we know that can makes us forget about our limitation. We don't want to becomes greed or other problem that can occurs to us so we will stops from playing gambling and take a rest.

That will be good for us to avoids becoming emotional when playing gambling so we don't have to lose much money. We know that self control will hold ourselves from spends too much money especially when we already lose money before. We will thinks to stop playing gambling because we know that can makes us lose more and more money when we becomes emotional.
