Making decisions while betting

[madnessteat]

We can't control the emotions by reading and article how to do it, it just has to happen naturally to us and most of the realise it from their own mistakes and smart people realise from others mistakes but the thing is same, we need to stay under our limits and can't force the emotions to influence your decision making ability.

In casinos where we physically appear may have extra pressure to bet more while we are losing and the reason is obvious because we don't want to project ourselves as a loser but in online casino there is no such pressure we are having full freedom to quit anytime we want.

When you come to a land-based casino to have fun with a predetermined amount of money that you can afford to lose, you do not feel any pressure in the same way as with online gambling. You simply place your bets and the outcome depends only on your luck.

If you came to break the big score, then there is no difference where you play, as each lost dollar will press on your psyche, which is very likely to eventually lead to the loss of all the money and disgusting mood.

You would be surprised that none of this matters and even if your in such a right state of mind it doesn't guarantee any win, although its good to have your emotions in Check it's also important to know that gambling is all about making the right and accurate predictions and at times I've open my sports bet masd quick picks and it played and I've calmed down and make good pick and I lost.

So I really do feel there is no pattern to getting it right not as tho gambling is like trading that we can rely on good analysis thsi is just like a a competition we can't always guess the winner right an that is fact.

As humans, it's extremely hard to detach from your emotions when making decisions. It will always be there even if you don't want it to. In order to not get emotions in the way of your decision making, you should start ignoring it slowly. It's a slow process, but if you're doing it consistently, you'll have no problem ignoring emotions on difficult situations such as choosing a bet between your gut feeling and what the numbers and facts say.

Exactly, people that advices that we should be keeping our emotions out of the way when we're gambling doesn't know how to be a human, they really think that emotion is something that you can easily detach like a toy that you don't want to stop playing. I wouldn't recommend ignoring though, the best way is to harness it, kind of like how you redirect a flow of water to a different direction, embracing the emotions is probably the best thing that you can do and most of the time, it's not really that difficult to do if you practice it and in terms of betting, you've got enough time to do the right decisions anyway, when you feel overwhelmed, it's always an option to take a step back and relax a little.

Also, this could be way more easy to do if the activity we were talking about it allowed you to do this, however people gamble precisely to add some excitement to their lives and have some fun, and if people are not going to enjoy their time gambling, then they may as well not gamble at all.

So as long as you are enjoying yourself and you are doing so without going overboard, then even if this means that you will make more mistakes than someone that approaches gambling with a cold attitude, I do not see the problem with that.

Unplanned and quick picks, it happens from time to time but that doesn't necessarily mean it can decrease your chances of winning. However, choosing a planned bet will make someone calm and a bit confident that he made the right decision. There's certainly no pattern in getting the right picks but knowing the sports well and understanding the odds offered by the bookies is close to getting a good pattern of winning, especially with parlays, but then again nothing's guaranteed in gambling though.
So, none of those might matter on the outcome, but emotions do play a huge role during frustrations. A gambler might go mad for not being able to win on what he has very high expectations to, he might bet carelessly on the next one and that will put more money at risk. Therefore, emotions doesn't really have a significant effects on the betting outcome, but it does definitely has an effect right after the result of his betting activities.

I totally agree with you! Emotions are a fundamental component of the human experience, and attempting to entirely disconnect from them is neither realistic nor desirable. Instead, like you mentioned, strive to harness and deal with your emotions in a healthy way. That way, you may use your emotions to help you make excellent decisions rather than allowing them to control you or lead you astray. And it's true that taking a break to rest and recharge is frequently the best thing you can do when you're feeling stressed.
 Sometimes a little space might provide you with the perspective you need to make better judgments.
Sometimes, we get so caught up in the moment that we can't see the big picture, so taking a few  steps back for a moment can help us get a better view of the situation

Controlling emotions is not easy. Although in gambling we get this advice quite often. But I agree with you that it is not possible for humans to control emotions completely. Because people are driven by emotions. If the more research to be adopted in the field of gambling are observed again and again then a good decision can definitely be taken. Any decision taken quickly can have an emotional impact. A gambler will be able to make better decisions when he watches his bets over and over again. A gambler will be able to filter out decisions influenced by emotions and make better decisions.

It's always good to have your emotions in your control because you will not playing gambling rushly and will not trying to chase the win or recovers your loss. You will holds your emotions not becomes higher and always know when you must stops playing gambling. You can control your minds so you will not continue playing gambling especially when you already lose much money. When you becomes emotions, it will related to overconfidence, fear, and anxiety because you want to protect yourself from the losing but in gambling, you can lose your money more than you can imagine if you don't stop gambling.

Yes, there is no pattern that gamblers can use because gambling will always changes from time to time. You can analyze the match on betting but you can't expecting to always wins because that is not easy.

We can regulate our emotions by being aware or recognizing how we feel. Regulating emotions is very important because it affects or influence our decisions. It helps to prevent impulsive decisions due to our emotions, overconfidence, fear and anxiety. Always practice self control by doing deep breath techniques, visualization, or positive selk talk which can help your mind and reduce impulsive behavior.

Deep breaths. I am doing that to release my anger. Most of the time when a losing streak comes, I just don't like the way it looks in my betting graph like everything is being taken away from me just like that. I mean, gambling sites casino games are so fast at taking away the money from us, and yet before we can accumulate those it takes us hours of betting on lower-risk games.
Somehow by those breathing techniques, I find a way to avoid punching my monitor because of anger.
Positive self-talking. Hmmm, I guess that's what I am doing on my recent games. I always tell myself that whatever I lose from sports betting, I can get back into casino games and somehow it works. Right now, I am playing tag with the gambling site as my balance keeps on going back and forth only. Still, I cannot find a way to win, but I guess I am more lucky than those who are having a continuous losing streak.

When I place a sports bet, I always watch the event that is happening. So while watching I do sometimes make decisions to either place an extra bet (when I am sure that the team is winning) or make a cashout to save a loosing bet, when I see that the result isnt going to change. I dont think that I should do any kind of emotion regulation procedures, as every decision that I take while betting isnt spontaneous.

I dont think that I should do any kind of emotion regulation procedures, as every decision that I take while betting isnt spontaneous.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that and I think a lot of people make decisions while betting, like you did where you increased the amount of bets as a result of the decisions you made from what you saw in the match that was running, all of that is natural to do because sometimes there are always unexpected events in the course of the match that make our initial decisions change or mean that make us change or make new decisions regarding the bets we make.

In my opinion, what is not allowed to make decisions when you are running a betting session is when you experience uncontrollable emotions due to defeat in the previous session or due to other things such as your personal problems which basically lead to emotions, because it is clear that something or decision making based on emotions usually leads to results that we cannot account for in the end because the decision-making process is not based on awareness but with emotions that usually lead to temporary satisfaction.

Emotion, Overconfidence, Fear and Anxiety
How do we regulate our emotions while betting and how important is it?

Emotion, Overconfidence, Fear and Anxiety are the four points I could extract from what you wrote, and the fact still remains that all of them can be encapsulated under emotions since Overconfidence, Fear and Anxiety are emotional factors and when we defeat the emotion totally, we have them all defeated as well. It is all about being disciplined and making sure that we are determined about what we want to do without any iota of deviation from it.

Now, we can get to regulate and manage ourselves entirely to avoid them by tackling them for the reasons that caused them in the first place. As we know, overconfidence is caused by the emotion of being overbearing about ourselves and what we are capable of. This actually shows that we believe too much in ourselves. Since this is the cause, we can reverse it by moderating the way we think of ourselves. It will be easy for us to change it if we believe that we are not perfect and we can make mistakes and rather be neutral instead of being overconfident.

As for fear and anxiety, fear is more the cause of the issues in gambling than anxiety, it makes us abstain from gambling when we should gamble but pushes us to gamble when we should not. It also makes us reduce the risk we take when we should increase the risk, or increase the risk when we should reduce it. But for anxiety, it is a lesser evil in gambling and I believe it often happens in line with impatience when we are expecting the outcome of our gambling.

Lastly, there is one important point that you clearly omitted, and that is greed. I fear Greed and Fear in gambling as the main factors that cause the loss of gamblers. Greed often happens when we are not contented but want more. This is especially true when we are gaining but want more until our greed puts us in trouble. Above all, we should be disciplined in gambling, we should have a good approach towards it even as we have the best budgets and plans towards gambling.

How do we regulate our emotions while betting and how important is it?

Only few could control their emotion when betting or gambling, even in games like pro gamer or athlete we could see them lose control when they have a match.
So don't expect it to be easy cause even those professionals couldn't control their emotions when they are performing or playing, it is normal to feel all that emotions when gambling.

How do we regulate our emotions while betting and how important is it?

Gambling decision are better made before even starting the gambling. Decisions such as amount to bet, amount to win, when to stop and every other necessary details must be decided before starting placing the bet or starting the gambling. This is because during the gambling sessions, decisions are not properly made because there is anxiety, bias and other forces that will hinder sound judgement. So the best way to go about this is planning everything before even getting started. Most days I gamble with planning I end up playing the wrong games and taking wrong decisions. But when I plan my  games like a few days ahead, I tend to get better results.

   IMO the amount to win is not even the problem, the main problem is the amount you can afford to lose.
   Why I do not agreed to when you said the amount to win is a good decision is because these days gamblers finds it very difficult to to quit gamble when they are winning.
  It's hard to stop while winning because there sometimes it has been a while you won a bet, so when you might see the opportunity for winning you would want to grab it to the end.
   However, I am not against your comment but just want to let you know that there are still gamblers that wouldn't stop when they are winning.
   Making your decisions before you start gambling is a good practice because it will help you not to lose more, few gamblers put this in mind and lot more gamblers doesn't care of making decisions before they gamble.

You are very correct mate. All these points listed above plays a vital role when it comes to gambling. Most times we tend to over look the fact that gambling and winning is by chance and loss is inevitable. When we play we should take possible calculations and estimate our odds or chance of winning. Most people tend to mistake victory for winnings in gambling which lucks plays a role in both. When we win a game, it's not because we were too good or are experts that's made it play through. If luck doesn't play it's part, you may end up losing.

Also being too confident after a recent winning will lead us to our loss. After a win, we should settle down and calculate what we had really done, to make the wins possible. This way we will be able play our next game more efficiently if luck is still on our side. Don't let your emotions come in when you play to avoid even further losses.

Over confidence has been one of the factors that had been affecting us in gambling and one of the ways we can overcome it is by being patient and always calming our spirit whenever it's time for us to make decisions and what to do next in gambling. There are some bets that need thorough thinking for us to get it right. We need to know what we are doing or else we are going to end up losing and keep losing because of some mistakes that needed to be amended for us to keep making money from what we are do. Emotions is another problem that most gamblers always face to make money from the market.

Emotional tension is the feeling that one can't achieve their goals in gambling. Players harness this tension, the moment they begin to lose money. And get sidetracked from their initial goals before venturing into the game. Emotions drags us to our goals positively or negatively. If a person is conscious of himself and wants to maintain responsible gambling, he wouldn't bother about detaching his emotions from the game. Fear goes with anxiety, out of fear the players will end up betraying their motives and goals. Then start up a method that doesn't sit right with the initial plan. Thereby risking the benefits their main plans would have provided them. Yet their emotions still goes with them, regardless of the direction, the player chooses to follow. Trying to be emotionless wouldn't yield much results, as the person begin to forget himself over what he wants in gambling.

Humans are expected to be their number one priority over any other activity. With no respect for oneself, they'll never be any sustainable success. Because the player tends to do things against his personal will or decisions. Like Op stated some factors, important, enough to keep a player in track. But most people who have come across the factors still end up not obeying it, due to the neglection on one's consciousness. So, building strong our emotions not to be easily sidetracked helps a player stick to the right decisions, while gambling. The only problem we face as gamblers, is that the writers who share these gambling strategies, don't actually teach how to achieve it. A reader can't become better by just reading definitions of gambling strategies. But detailed constructed deep learning process on obtaining those factors will help most gamblers remember and practice the method.

No matter how much we are advised to control our emotions, it is not possible for everyone to control them in reality. Because even a expert in gambling loses his bet money. Moreover, people cannot get away from these emotions even if they try. Because every human being is driven by emotions. Even if a gambler makes relatively good decisions in one bet, he may again be swayed by emotion in the next bet. However, those who can keep their emotions under control at the critical moment and implement the rules can be on the way to relatively good gambling wins. At the moment before betting, a gambler can think about various things due to which the gambler is in a dilemma.

At the moment before betting, a gambler can think about various things due to which the gambler is in a dilemma.

Having emotions and controlling emotions are two different cases. Emotions play a significant role in our decision-making process, especially in activities like gambling where there's a mix of excitement, anticipation, and sometimes anxiety. The challenge lies in finding a balance between acknowledging and managing our emotions and making rational decisions based on established rules and strategies. It may not always be possible to completely eliminate emotions from the equation, but learning to recognize when they're influencing our decisions and taking steps to mitigate their impact can lead to more favorable outcomes.

Gamblers need to create a set of rules for themself and stick to them, even in the face of strong emotions, it can help guide decisions and reduce impulsive behavior. If gamblers practice mindfulness techniques or take breaks to recenter themself, They can be beneficial in maintaining emotional control during critical moments. Emotions are an inherent part of being human, but developing strategies to manage them effectively can significantly improve the ability to navigate the complexities of gambling and make more informed choices.
