Gambling is not only about winning and losing, but about psychological control

[GxSTxV]

Our psychological state is always there whether we are gambling or doing any other particular activity especially when that activity is involving money or something precious. You can differ between a person who is controlling himself and psychologically doing well, and the second person who can’t control. The first person is going to be successful and managing to achieve most of his goals and loving a decent life, while the second person is going to be unsuccessful and struggling with his goals.

Gambling is a very risky activity, when it comes to psychological control not many gamblers success in that. Some people are trying their best to avoid it to skip the effort of controlling whenever winning or losing.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Some people purposely put themselves in such psychological trauma that they can become so depressed and traumatized by the situation they put themselves in. I don't know if you read about the old topic where the man gambled with the money that was meant to be used for his wedding. The worst part of the story was that the money was not only his own but also that of his wife, but because the man thought he could win some bets and multiply the money, he spent it all on gambling and lost everything. After that incident, I wonder what the kind of psychological situation might be. 

I participated in this thread, it's a shame this happened. Anyway, gambling based on chance is a box of surprises and many times it doesn't depend on the player's performance, like slot games where it's 50/50. A weak psychology causes emotional dependence on games that directly influences the results (even more so!), as the player tends to bet more if he loses to chase losses and when he wins, he continues betting without stopping instead of withdrawing, returning to square one.

I think gambling should be seen as a hobby, you have to be willing to lose, that is, bet with money that you can afford to lose and not with money to pay the bills. But the adrenaline and high doses of dopamine when you are doing well in the game, make some addicted people want to take this risk.

Play for fun and don't see the whole thing as an investment.

Some people started gambling primarily for the purpose of making a profit, probably because their friends are making little profit from gambling. After they started gambling, they could not stop again, even when their decisions were always fruitless. I started gambling because my friends were doing it and making money out of it, but when I started gambling, I actually targeted it as a means to get small pocket money, but I later realized how the game was, so I retraced my steps. I cannot gamble with a huge amount, especially the money I want to use for some important stuff. 

Some people make the decision to start gambling but don't have an escape plan when things get hot, and that's why it's wise to only gamble with the amount they can afford to lose.

On both statements at the end of the day the casino wins its up to the gambler if they want to stop playing to assess themselves if they want to play more and still on their budget or not and take those as cut their losses and take profit. Sometimes players who win continuously wondering until where are their luck so they keep testing waters to assure if they are lucky today and if it is they will play as long as they can but if this break that's the time they will doubt if its their limit, same goes by if the player losses but it get worst until their capital getting loss they keep hoping they can win still with the last sort of their money.

[Fortify]

Online casinos are now easily accessible and anyone can create an account and play.
Profits and losses can happen easily.

And at every moment where gambling exerts psychological pressure that makes me sometimes unable to control it.

When Win: When a bet or gambling game that we do gets a win, Greed will appear and this will influence a person to keep playing with a higher target.
Even because someone is too greedy to never make a profit and continue to put all their money into gambling, until in the end everything is taken back by gambling.

When losing: Defeat will indeed be a moment that will make a person's mentality and psychology down, and even it will interfere with their psyche.
A deep sense of disappointment due to an unwanted defeat makes a person tend to be more emotional and want to take revenge for the defeat and ultimately make bets and gambling games without any restrictions.

These two moments of winning or losing will be the reason where a person's psychology will be played in a gamble.
Someone really has to know how to manage their emotions so that they don't get into situations they don't even want.
There must be limits and targets that need to be achieved, not only limited to winning and losing but more than that.

There are usually deeper and different reasons behind people who lack self control when gambling. It is often because they are in an unstable place in life and are looking for shortcuts to get out, however it's likely to put desperate people in a much worse place mentally after they are almost guaranteed to lose every session. The best time to be gambling is when you are secure in your life and understand how strongly the forces of mathematics are stacked against you ever winning big enough to overcome all your losses. It sounds stupid and is incredibly hard to break free from any ingrained habit, but ultimately that is the only solution - stop gambling and be aware of the triggers that will try to pull you back towards it.

A very lucky player would win continuously, but it's rare to see such people except for streamers. However, the psychology of gambling has to do with knowing when to stop. Testing waters is quite advisable, yet, not with two legs. Some players jumps into the game with the idea of testing waters and get carried away by the results of the game. When one losses, they tend to further their game hoping to win again.

It's a bad psychology because the mental strength of the player begin to dwindle down the hill. And he losses complete control of himself as a gambler. Setting out a specific limit for gambling would help in determining exactly when to stop. Hoping on results before we stop only sidetracks the self consciousness of the gambler and land him to problem gambling. If your designated time is 2hrs duration, stick to it, and stop once the timer hits 2 hrs.

A winning run is like a sugar surge. You long for more. You have to be smart here. Greed shouldnt affect judgment. Limit yourself and leave ahead of time. Its simplicity. Losing hurts. Punch gut. Allow it not to define you. Steer clear of trying to immediately recoup all losses. Doing it is terrible. What makes you successful? It transcends simply cards and dice. How important you believe things to be. Know yourself; identify your triggers, your shortcomings. One needs emotional intelligence as well as self-control. Like gambling, life consists on measured risks. Most importantly, play smart, disciplined, intellectual rather than emotional.

There is one most important rule, without breaking which you can preserve your emotional health and psychological health. This rule looks like this - never use money that you cannot afford to lose. That is, the money you need to pay bills, for your family, for life cannot be spent under any circumstances. Money that you can spend with friends or drink beer or buy some unnecessary thing you can spend on gambling. This is the most important rule. By following it, you will not have problems with gambling.

If they want to test the maximum limits of winning then they have to accept the reality of losses. We must limit our time and budget for gambling and I prioritize the first point, namely after winning a bet, decide to withdraw the profits to buy coffee and relax.

It is true that each person has a different character when playing gambling and what's more, their nature and emotions are also high, but there are also those who don't and playing according to their capacity even if they get a lucky place or win in a row will definitely affect the character of the players and also for who experience consecutive defeats. If playing like that is very difficult, maybe we can talk like that, but it's different when we are in a situation like that, there will definitely be a feeling of desire and curiosity about continuing the game or not, often what happens is that continuing is different from what we said. you will withdraw all the winnings.

It's not surprising that many people are addicted because they have the wrong mindset about gambling, and indeed when they are addicted, their thinking will become dirty where they will completely believe in gambling which can give them victory, this wrong mindset is what makes them continue to do it. gambling even though you have experienced a big defeat or loss. When they have wrong thoughts about gambling, they will not be able to stop easily when they have lost, they will have thoughts of betting again because they still want or believe they can win in the next gambling game.

Indeed, it is their wrong mindset that makes them trapped. Apart from that, those who have the wrong mindset usually cannot accept that the money they bet on is lost. and of course that makes them continue to want to gamble because they have a feeling of revenge or want to recover losses that have occurred. It's not strange if they lose self-control because this happens because of their wrong mindset.

Outcomes in life would really be that definitely be basing up on the decisions that you had made in life. It would really be that always basing up on the actions and if turns out that you had made out that wrong decision
then you would really be that definitely be having to experience those worst conditions on which we know that losing control will always bring up that demise specially into our finances.
This is why it would really be that better that you should have that control on whatever you do specially if we do speak about spending money on which it would really be always crucial that you should really be that wise
on taking up actions because if you dont, then you do really end up on having that messy life specially when it comes to financial.

This is why it would really be that significant on having that control and if you dont like to put up yourself on such bad condition then good decisions should really be made up.
Just dont make yourself that being too impulsive on dealing things if you dont like problems.

[SamReomo]

When they have wrong thoughts about gambling, they will not be able to stop easily when they have lost, they will have thoughts of betting again because they still want or believe they can win in the next gambling game.

That's how most greedy gamblers are and they end up as addicts and overtime their addiction gets stronger and stronger. They keep believing that they'll win big and recover their losses but instead of winning big they'll keep losing again and again.

Their greed is their main enemy if they can control it then they can understand that how gambling works but if they continuously get controlled by it then they'll never understand anything and keep doing the same thing again and again.

[mirakal]

Win or lose --most gamblers still lost control of their emotions.
When a gambler wins, they gamble more thinking of making more money. When the gamblers lose, they still gamble in the chase of their money. Both of they has a psychological effect on us and we tend to control it but sadly, we can't because what is on our mind is making money, not of having fun and pleasure.

What we feed into our minds has a significant impact on our decision-making and actions.
How to do this - psychological control? No other than but started manipulating our minds into thinking that we are gambling for fun, not for money. Otherwise, we give a reason why it goes this way --losing control.

It's difficult to manipulate our minds but it can be done. I agree, win or lose we will lose control at some point especially when we are on the losing streak.
As a gambler for a long time and always looking at myself whenever I lose so that I will have a clear mind before I deposit again, this is something that is not easy to control. We tend to be eaten by revenge or the chase for our losses because we want that money back so badly. There was even a time I told myself that RTP would kick in and it would give me back everything but it's very rare to happen.
Imagine leaving everything to RTP, that's one bad decision a gambler would make. There are lucky times when I got it all back but still the wound it will leave being stressed at those moments is not easy to forget.

Most of the time we make mistakes in making decisions but I don't feel any regrets because I choose this. It is acceptable indeed why we lose but constant losing is a different story. The more we lose, the more we become stressed which is not healthy anymore, so sometimes we need time to relax from gambling. At least, our mind stops thinking about all our losses and bad experiences. I couldn't even imagine gambling every day, it is an act of desperation and we know that without a piece of luck, there is only a slim chance of winning.
Controlling our emotions was just considered a win, some gamblers don't just get it because for them, the real meaning of winning is hitting the jackpot.

This means that placing limits is not only recommended on the amount of budget that will be bet, but it is also recommended to limit your time in gambling, in simple terms, don't gamble too often, at least once a week or twice a month, especially when you really have the right money. - it really doesn't matter if it eventually disappears. Because of course, when we experience defeat too often, of course it can make us stressed or emotional, which can influence and interfere with other activities that we have.

Basically in all problems that must be solved first, namely the cause first, I do not mean to tell anyone to look for various ways so that they don't lose at all, but evaluate your approach to gambling, and if the case is as you say that we are too If you often lose, then of course what you have to change is the timing of your involvement in this activity. Gambling every day doesn't mean it can bring you closer to luck, that's a wrong mindset, because in the end you can't always know when luck will come.

People who have a bad personality and do not know how to control their emotions will certainly be easily influenced by whatever the gambler gives, whether victory or defeat, this is how all psychological disorders are influenced. But unfortunately some gamblers are always motivated by their greed and also curiosity that makes the gambler continue to play until the money runs out in his wallet.

To anticipate all of that, we need to have knowledge and be able to control ourselves, how to not be greedy and not curious about losing, fix the purpose of why gambling, people who have emotions like that usually they pursue money and pursue victory from gambling, so they are always motivated to do more in gambling, and never stop until they feel satisfied, even though in the end they never feel satisfied.

A considerable number of individuals engaged in gambling activities exhibit greed and curiosity which are motivating factors for their involvement and tend to persist with the activity until depletion of their financial resources.

In order to be prepared for this, it is necessary that We all have a certain amount of knowledge and self-control. Be aware of greed and fear of losses. Set clear goals when gambling; do not simply run after money or winnings. Those driven by such emotions tend to continue with the game until they achieve their desired results, a point at which they stop is reached only after they are satisfied, although unfortunately this rarely happens.

Self-control and having clear goals can help us steer away from addiction as well as huge losses that may arise due to gambling.

[Hispo]

When they have wrong thoughts about gambling, they will not be able to stop easily when they have lost, they will have thoughts of betting again because they still want or believe they can win in the next gambling game.

That's how most greedy gamblers are and they end up as addicts and overtime their addiction gets stronger and stronger. They keep believing that they'll win big and recover their losses but instead of winning big they'll keep losing again and again.

Their greed is their main enemy if they can control it then they can understand that how gambling works but if they continuously get controlled by it then they'll never understand anything and keep doing the same thing again and again.

They will end up doing the same thing over and over again when they reach the endless cycle of chancing losses, trying to quantify their profit versus their losses and start a race to break even (or even win money from a casino). Those are the worst type of gamblers (in my opinion) one can find on the internet and also in real life (they tend to live close to a betting shop or small casino in their neighborhood).
When someone is trapped in such a circle, there is little one will do to try to escape that rock bottom, the next step is to get involved in scams and theft to get money and continue to fuel the addiction, the final phase is either getting caught or getting seriously harmed in the process.
That is why I would advice anyone starting within the world of gambling to be careful with greed and ignore the advertisements of those who got millions out of pure luck.

Even with funds that you can afford to loose, if you are not in the right state of mind to handle the shock that come with the fact that you are loosing such amount, you are still going to feel bad about loosing such an amount at once, the only time it will not be a problem is exactly when you are not willing to loose such amount of money . They are all part of responsible gambling too.

A winning run is like a sugar surge. You long for more. You have to be smart here. Greed shouldnt affect judgment. Limit yourself and leave ahead of time. Its simplicity. Losing hurts. Punch gut. Allow it not to define you. Steer clear of trying to immediately recoup all losses. Doing it is terrible. What makes you successful? It transcends simply cards and dice. How important you believe things to be. Know yourself; identify your triggers, your shortcomings. One needs emotional intelligence as well as self-control. Like gambling, life consists on measured risks. Most importantly, play smart, disciplined, intellectual rather than emotional.

That is on point.

It's not only winning that's like a sugar rush but gambling itself and we are getting back despite the outcomes that aren't favorable to us. The limit isn't there for most gamblers despite being aware of that.

What happens is we gamble more and when we're losing, that's the capital reasoning that we're making for us to keep going until that we've lost everything.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

           -    In my experience, there were times when I wanted to gamble not because I wanted to just have fun or win at the casino; there were also times when I just wanted to relax, and by playing, I was able to think clearly despite the problems I'm facing.

And I'm relieved; I don't even care if I lose when I play gambling because, in the first place, my gambling money is also limited. I also don't allow myself to get into addiction, even though sometimes I experience winning gambling.

Yes, it all has to be based on good emotions, meaning self-control with something very good and of course also understand all the bad possibilities, because emotional speaking is often easily triggered by victory or even defeat in gambling which makes someone continue to gamble repeatedly, even until a crazy addiction arises that can lose everything from your life, indirectly this thread has a ban on people who have bad emotions to be controlled properly, otherwise we will lose what we already have.

Yes, everyone has their own goals in their gambling activities, and everyone has their own benefits, sometimes it's like you don't care about losing or winning what's important is gambling, maybe it's a habit and it doesn't affect you to gain more or lose more in gambling, because it seems like you have good self-control, sometimes you have to look deeper into yourself to find all that from gambling.
