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

[piebeyb]

           -    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.

If every gambler had a mindset like you, there would be fewer people addicted to online gambling. Gambling should be fun and can be enjoyed to entertain yourself from the boring things in life. I also often gamble just to find entertainment on the weekends because I'm stressed. that I get at work which makes my head always tense all the time, therefore I need entertainment by playing gambling and of course using a limited budget at least using money that I am ready to lose and not wasting money just to find fun in gambling, right what do you say when playing for fun sometimes we win more often because we are in proper control than those who gamble without controlling themselves and end up addicted to gambling.

That is good because you knows how to treat gambling. That is the thing that we must do if we wants to playing gambling. We can use gambling for have fun and spends our time.

We can relax our minds from our daily activities and doesn't have to thinks about anything except just playing gambling. You do the right thing when you gambling by using some money and not spends more money when your time is ends. That is a way to control our psychology and will not get tempt by gambling.

If you can manage that, you will not gets any problem from gambling. You don't needs to use gambling too often like other people because you gambling for have fun. You can back to playing gambling anytime you wants because you know how to control yourself in gambling.

The main focus is yes to fill boring free time, because when someone makes the entertainment aspect their main goal then I am sure that they will avoid various actions that tend to be aggressive such as betting large amounts for example, simply put, when entertainment is the main priority then they will not no matter what the outcome is, win or lose, and also in any situation they will have no difficulty stopping, especially when their wish has been achieved in the sense of having succeeded in restoring their mood due to stress due to other things such as work as you said.

So the point is that intentions and goals are the trigger for various problems, because when someone makes money or the idea of ​​earning money as the main goal then it is clear that they will definitely do various excessive actions such as betting large amounts and betting over a more frequent period of time. where when someone gambles with the aim of winning then they will certainly not feel any pleasure or pleasure but rather tension and pressure due to worry about the possibility of losing. And this is why the goal of gambling for fun is always recommended, because with this goal it is likely that people will have no difficulty controlling themselves.

You don't needs to use gambling too often like other people because you gambling for have fun. You can back to playing gambling anytime you wants because you know how to control yourself in gambling.

How about us who are always looking for action? Seriously, mate, if my favorite league starts, I can't help but bet on a regular basis. But I can always say to myself that I already have control because I have a bankroll readily available for it.

When I was new, I experienced a lot of mistakes, and I thought I would never gamble anymore due to a lack of discipline. But eventually, after countless lessons learned from those mistakes, everything went well. Now, although I don't win most of the time, I'm still here enjoying gambling. It's all about how we manage ourselves by implementing what we plan.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

Well, as much as many gamblers always talk about the benefits of setting a target in gambling, which when reached, such a gambler must take a break, either setting an amount to be won or lost before the gambler takes a break, I personally have never really been a fan to such opinions, since it's completely another way some gamblers can really get themselves hooked to gambling.

To be honest wit you, there is nothing really as good as gambling freely and stopping when ever you want without any emotional attachment to what ever be the outcome of that gaming round.
People should really learn to gamble without any strings attached to their gambling, setting targets, most especially the unrealistic ones is one way most gamblers get themselves hooked, which most of the time doesn't always end well.

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.

Such a revengeful feelings shows lack of control, and understanding of gambling. And the wrong mindset didn't just start out the moment they began gambling. It's something that has been inbuilt in them even before joining the gambling niche. As gamblers we all have numerous challenges regarding losing money. Regrets fills up the heart of multiple gamblers after losing their money.

This regrets feels like engaging in a mistake we were fully aware of, but didn't know how we got into it. More like a trap, then, the player within him wouldn't accept it, and wants to correct his mistakes, the loss repeats again. Naive players wouldn't stop easily, due to their emotional state and feelings of getting back their money. This then eats up all they had to gamble, and the game ends once the money is all exhausted.

I was discussing with a friend the other topic, and the guy said he has been gambling for decades and yet has not become addicted. The thing is, as a new gambler, you will definitely have those symptoms of addiction, but the ability to control your urges will prevent you from becoming addicted, and you will become disciplined. You have become disciplined, and that is why, no matter how you gamble, you will not get addicted again, and I believe you already know how to manage your bankroll.

However, perhaps controlling lust in gambling is difficult for beginners, most of whom are very passionate about the games and bets they make. Even though controlling your desires ultimately forms certain limits, once or twice in gambling you will break through the limits you have created.
but I am sure that when those who have control over their desires, even though in the end they break through or cross the boundaries created several times. they will not easily become addicted very seriously.

It is difficult to defeat an ego like this because after all this is an attitude that has been embedded and difficult to change from every human being so that indeed feelings like this will continue to appear in some unexpected situations so that even though we have tried as much as possible not to do gambling that emphasizes emotions but on several occasions when we are too focused and ambitious for a game then it is certain that the end will not be too good.

We realize that this is a mistake but on the other hand, it is also difficult for us to block things like this which makes us look like fools when we have done it only we also cannot realize when we do it. This is why the importance of calmness in ourselves so that we do not get carried away or lulled into the game that is done so that ambition in the game does not come when we gamble and it becomes a challenge in the end for every gambler because after all, when we want to gamble, as much as possible we suppress all forms of emotions and ambitions so as not to affect the game in the gambling that we do.

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.

If he is in a winning position, it is as if he is the greatest and smartest in playing playing patterns to be able to get the jackpot. The turn at the two moments that occur in gambling can really be felt as you said.
When they lose, people will complain and be challenged to continue looking for ways to play and catch up on the amount of deposits they have made. Indirectly, a psychological role has occurred to him which does not rule out the possibility of mental disorders. It might lead to actions that could harm other people in order to make their wishes come true right away.

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.

I know this feeling, but I went even further - I used dice emulators (a program that has its own thread on this forum) and “played” using different strategies (mostly different types of martingale). I don’t know why, but watching your virtual deposit grow steadily at first and then inexorably reset to zero is relaxing. But probably what relaxed me most was that it was completely free for me 

[beerlover]

All decisions depend on each gambler and the two statements above are the reality of the impact of gambling, everything is related to psychology which stimulates gambling without thinking about the risk of loss, based on the fact that it is impossible for gamblers to have luck in gambling. any type of gambling but the potential for losing is higher than losing and the gambler all funds will be lost. 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.

For those people who have a moderate or low emotion in terms of gambling, they can always stick on their chosen character no matter what. I don't know what you mean by talk like that but talking is not enough if we won't put it in action and also if we find or think it's difficult, then much better to not attempt it.

Some can say that it's better to try than not trying at all but I think that was subjective and may not really fit here in the gambling world. Curiosity is when we think what is beyond of something and not when you already stop. In gambling, most of the times we can lose, so like I said earlier, it is better to just not do it, than regret it later on.

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.

Very good advice for newbie gamblers and also for those who believe in fake advertisements and end up getting addicted to gambling.

Greed is our enemy and if we give it the power to decide our fate then we will end up with nothing. One should learn about gambling responsibility and a way to somehow control the greed.

I believe a little bit of meditation can be helpful but most gamblers aren't ready to meditate and that's why they may have to find an alternative way to suppress greed or getting influenced by it.

[boyptc]

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.

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.

Well, we gotta lose what we have to lose and that's part of gambling. But it's a different thing on how we're going to react with our emotions.

Because at most times, it's not that triggering to lose our bets but what's more triggering is how we react and how we handle that loss afterwards.

Sometimes, reactions are too late to comprehend that we shouldn't gamble at all but then, when we think of the potential victories, it's always there and that makes us keep gambling for more.

[wheelz1200]

I always preach this.  I know so many people that "win" yet never take any money out of theor account and quit once they are broke.  You need to preplan what your expectations are and then if you hot your number you have to bail.  It's really tough to leave when you are up hich is why casinos always win.  That's the toughest part of gambling

Gambling is basically something that can be done as a means of entertainment with the aim of getting and feeling the sensation of entertainment to eliminate boredom, and you need to know that gambling is something that can attract players deeper and forget about normal boundaries. Even though they gamble for fun, of course the opportunity to become addicted or interested in it is still there. In fact, I think when they are bored, maybe that is still normal, but if they are tired because of the work they are doing and want to find entertainment, gambling is not the most important thing to think about. and done. because there are many other things that are more useful to do besides that, when they are tired, I think their thinking tends to be confused by getting results that are less than satisfactory or not in line with what was expected. We must be able to allocate a certain amount of money that has been determined and is ready to be lost, because that is one of the keys to preventing addiction, but not everyone can do that, there are people who are more interested in gambling and allocate a larger amount of money than what is required. it has been determined this is undesirable.

I agree with what you said, if we can manage everything well then no problems will occur. Self-control is of course the main key in gambling, because the absence of self-control can make them gamble blindly. However, I don't think about gambling frequently even though I have strong self-control because I'm afraid there will be times when we lose self-control, now I rarely gamble and that makes my finances more controlled. I hope that those who gamble with the aim of having fun can control their limits well so as not to lose self-control which could lead to disaster.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Precisely because gambling can greatly influence the human psyche, the approach and passion for it should be prudent. If a person suffers from some psychological addiction, such as drug addiction or alcoholism, gambling can become a catalyst for increasing their problem. In the same way, any head injury that accompanies a concussion, with minor unrest, will make itself felt by the player’s inappropriate behavior. If a person is not restrained in his emotions, there will always be a risk of wrong actions leading to the loss of all the money, despite some winnings.
As a result, we can say that people with a strong nervous system can get involved in gambling on those days when no troubles can disturb the person’s condition.

[Furious 7]

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.

The problem is that this keeps repeating like a cycle that always comes every time they play which makes them sacrifice almost everything to do gambling and in the end they lose things that they should not lose because it is not uncommon when things like this continue to happen in a row then in addition to property then sometimes relationships with the closest people will be destroyed.

There are so many cases where gamblers lose their money and even some of their assets and the destruction of families because of gambling that makes this more serious than imagined just because they cannot control their emotions in the gambling they do.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be controlled because it becomes an uncontrollable situation and although not all gamblers experience it, there must be something like this that even happens to our family or neighbors so in the end this is what makes gambling a situation that is considered negative.

Well, not all gamblers do, and I dare say that most do not go to such extremes. The vast majority of us control our gambling, and when I say control it is not 100% of the time. In the same way that most of ust when we drink we are responsible and that doesn't mean that we haven't had too much to drink sometimes. The average responsible player, likewise, has on occasion lost more money than he or she had planned or played for longer than he or she originally thought. Or even both, which often go hand in hand.

What happens is that the scandalous cases of people who lose a fortune and get into debt, and lose their house, or the savings entrusted to them by their father, etc. are the ones that make the headlines, but I think they paint a distorted picture of most of us.

[HelliumZ]

When a gambler wins a bet in gambling, he automatically gets a strong attraction towards gambling and makes himself more inclined to engage in gambling. No matter how much you try to psychologically control a gambler at this very moment, there will be no benefit. At the moment a gambler becomes so greedy after winning a bet that he loses all control over himself. Even if he loses the bet again, he cannot control himself from gambling because of his strong desire to recover the previous loss. Thus a gambler loses the ability to psychologically control whether he loses or gains in gambling.
