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

[LUCKMCFLY]

It is very difficult for people to not have some strong emotions towards gambling, whether they could be positive or negative, and this is because people earn money through a great deal of effort, so if they earn money through gambling then I think it is natural they are happy about it, and if they lose it then the opposite happens, and those emotions are precisely what could get a person in trouble as they could get too attached to them, and that is how an addiction could begin.

You said it, personally I think that when a person plays in a casino their expectations are very high, and that's not bad, it's good, the bad thing is getting excited and not achieving what you were or had planned, apart from getting carried away by emotions and losing a large amount of money, it has happened to me, especially when I was a newbie, I let myself get carried away by emotions and lost a lot of money, then I learned that I had to control myself somehow, and the best way I found is by limiting my money, that's where all suffering ended, of course, if I had 20usd to spend once I spent it I didn't put in more, that requires discipline.

In any field, beginners make more mistakes compared to experienced users and gambling is no exception. The main thing is that you have come to this understanding and control yourself. I too have spent a lot of money on the way to this realization.

It sometimes seems to me that I play gambling not only for the sake of winning, but because of emotions. I noticed that you can get similar emotions in trading, but in gambling you can get them much faster.

[SmartGold01]

There are people who wins at least every week or monthly while most people hardly see winning for months so this sets of people are those who are likely to act same. But however as you said emotions shouldn't be attached while gambling otherwise it causes more harm to the bettor themselves.

It is very difficult for people to not have some strong emotions towards gambling, whether they could be positive or negative, and this is because people earn money through a great deal of effort, so if they earn money through gambling then I think it is natural they are happy about it, and if they lose it then the opposite happens, and those emotions are precisely what could get a person in trouble as they could get too attached to them, and that is how an addiction could begin.

You are right, whatever that involves money is hardly to remove emotion since happiness is there then there would be sadness as well from gamblers and I am thinking being neutral can also help alot because if someone is not that happy neither too happy it will be good but since money is involved no one can accept to lose huge amount and expect to keep his mouth short on their lost.

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.

you are right and this top issues folks are facing in gambling , due to lack of self-control and poor emotion management if one can work on themselves inorder to avoid being a victim of such (losing all their money due to greed), he or she has already done a good work minimising the risk in gambling, because most folks losses where due to such act of letting their emotions to get the best of them which lead gambling without knowing to stop .

I know it won`t be easy for one to fight against such urge but still we should try our best to suppress it and it won`t help in gambling alone but in other part of lives.

Of course, this always happens to beginners because they don't have much experience and really can't organize or determine what to do to minimize any risks.
But there are also many people who have experience but cannot learn and are unable to understand everything that has happened, they still make mistakes quite often even though there have been many mistakes that have caused bad things to happen before, this cannot be denied because it can found easily.
I think only people who have more advanced thinking and can feel everything can change for the better.

Being emotional and also feeling passionate about success is human attitude, what can prevent this is by controlling yourself and being able to remain calm with full caution.
Anyone can easily have feelings like that, but if they can play calmly and comfortably and don't think about making big efforts to win then emotions will never affect them.

We know that will happen to those who doesn't have good control when playing gambling so they will facing the lose in gambling. They will not accept the reality of the lose from gambling and makes them keeps playing gambling. If they still don't care with what happens to them, they will gets addicted to gambling immediately and will not have a chance to solve the gambling addiction.

It won't be easy for fight against that urge but we must keeps trying to prevents that happens to us. We have a power to prevents and avoids the temptation from gambling so we can stay away from gambling if we thinks that we almost gets tempts. We must take care of ourselves by always controlling our emotion and everything so we don't gets any problem from gambling.

I started making much progress in my gambling when I stared focusing on how to manage my financial commitment to gambling and not just the amount I plan to win. Each time I sit to analyze game to gamble, my major consideration is usually how much I would be willing to put in that will not drain me psychologically and when that amount is known, the next step will be how not to lose my entire capital. This way, I will segment my bets in order of risk and always place that high probability bet that will return my capital. I lost all my best yesterday but my safe bet which was direct win for Fortaleza/CE and São Paulo/SP and I was able to win this and recover my capital. Normally I play more on goals but as the European season have not started, I do play direct wins.

In summary, being able to understand that nothing is certain and planning accordingly is a psychological game and the key to success in gambling.

Controlling emotions is one of the biggest challenges in gambling and any other activity. People who are inexperienced in gambling and cannot control their emotions are the most likely to lose. If a new gambler wins a gambling bet and becomes overly greedy, he must make gambling losses only because of the excessive greed. So gambling is not only a place of profit or loss but gambling is a place of emotion control. If you can control your emotions, you can get a better result from gambling and if you can't control your emotions, you will have to face any unwanted situation at any time.

Come on . With this judgment, you can safely add yourself to the society of addicted people, since they are the ones who need a dose of dopamine, for which they play. I will still really believe that it is the result that is important to you, not just participation. According to my observation, those who cannot control their emotions make more rash bets and thus lose more often. A cool head and the ability to stop in time are more characteristic of adults and experienced people who have made mistakes before and have gained good life experience.

       -      What you are saying is true, especially in your age where online casinos are very easy for anyone to access because of the amazing influencers promoting online casinos on YouTube and Facebook.

Influencers who don't care—if even a child sees what they are doing—can promote gambling; the government should be held accountable. The problem is that our government allows these influencers, so who dares to promote?

Controlling emotions is one of the biggest challenges in gambling and any other activity. People who are inexperienced in gambling and cannot control their emotions are the most likely to lose. If a new gambler wins a gambling bet and becomes overly greedy, he must make gambling losses only because of the excessive greed. So gambling is not only a place of profit or loss but gambling is a place of emotion control.

Having the ability to control your emotions will help you alot as a gamblers because when you can not control your emotions you can easily be influenced by your results. When you gamble and win, you might want to try your luck again and this is when we experienced losses that might turn us into addicts as we start trying to win again. Not being capable of controlling your emotions will also make you not to be capable of managing your money very well. For some gamblers, their mistakes is how they manage the money that they are winning from gambling and not that it is not favouring them. As you can manage your money, you would not be gambling every time and increasing the possibility of you losing. You will have other sources of income and would not have to be relying on gambling for money. Gambling addicts are those that can control their emotions and not those that lose all the time because many gamblers also lose but not all are addicts.

It won't be easy for fight against that urge but we must keeps trying to prevents that happens to us. We have a power to prevents and avoids the temptation from gambling so we can stay away from gambling if we thinks that we almost gets tempts. We must take care of ourselves by always controlling our emotion and everything so we don't gets any problem from gambling.

It is not easy, but it is possible if we dedicate ourselves to doing it seriously. It is just our mind driving us into falling into temptation, but if we don't let it happen from the start, that won't get much worse.

Losing control of our gambling habits is also losing control of our minds. Stress could also lead to such a situation, which is why we should not take gambling seriously and focus, instead just using it as our pastime. If we can limit our time and money spent, it is not difficult to keep our gambling habits controlled.

Generally, the results depend on our way of gambling. If we are responsible, then everything is fine.

So, the majority is doing it as a way to have fun and that's always the tip that we hear and used to say. How many are probably listening to that when they're not full time gamblers?

However, they must realizes that playing gambling needs to have good control to avoids the lose so they can enjoy the gambling games as an entertainment.

Gambling was never intended for you to make money but rather this was created for the sake of fun and entertainment and this is where people do mess up their lives just because they've been expecting on something
like making money and this is why they do lose control on the time or moment that they would be playing gambling. People do really lost their control on the time or moment that they will really be having that kind of approach on which its really very wrong. This is why gambling business is really that profitable due to this very common behavior of most gamblers, they are hoping for money making or simply with profits on which on the moment that they would be losing then this is the moment that they would really be that become desperate on which we know that this is something not really recommended on doing so.

On the moment that you do play just for the sake of fun and not wanting money or winnings which actually not that true because on the moment that people would be doing gambling
then of course we do have that kind of projection that we wanting on making money and this is something that we should really be baring up into our minds.
On the moment that you do find yourself having that good control then gambling wont really be able to mess up your life on.

It sometimes seems to me that I play gambling not only for the sake of winning, but because of emotions. I noticed that you can get similar emotions in trading, but in gambling you can get them much faster.

It is a fact, at least in trading you know that it will not include any kind of advantage of something, Except that there are brokers or exchanges that can Manipulate certain movements to make some traders lose even though that is very delicate , but in itself , there are Always ways that our Decisions are those that Direct the course of operations, but in the game everything is more focused on the luck we have at that moment, and it is already a greater risk , I have urged many colleagues to make my strategy, to have or risk the Money that we are willing to lose and there things or the way of seeing the game Changes.

In any field, beginners make more mistakes compared to experienced users and gambling is no exception. The main thing is that you have come to this understanding and control yourself. I too have spent a lot of money on the way to this realization.

I think the reason why it is common for beginner to always make mistakes in gambling is because, most people don't even have orientation in gambling and by the time they go into gambling they make mistakes which they will learn from to pattern their own gambling life style. 

It sometimes seems to me that I play gambling not only for the sake of winning, but because of emotions. I noticed that you can get similar emotions in trading, but in gambling you can get them much faster.

Gambling for not a good reason can also be à problem to gamblers and thus has always be challenging to gamblers. Some people gamble to win but this same set of people that gamble to win , some are very desperate to win by all means. While some people gamble because of emotions may be to recover their lost money. The most important thing about gambling is for every gambling to know why they are gambling and it should be for a good reason.

Maybe yes, but in any case I quite doubt that any of them can really make a lot of money gambling in the long run, unless they are people who own casinos and make a lot of profit without having to get involved in the games. Basically there is no long-term success in gambling, especially regarding winning, because everything happens by chance, and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will always be able to win there, and so this is why we are always advised to only gamble with intention. and for entertainment purposes only, because as you said, we will not experience emotions that are too significant along with other impacts that can destroy all aspects of life.

Have you considered gambling a brain workout? Each bet pokes fate, right? Gambling is about laughing at life's craziness, not looking for money. Guys, I'm talking about regulated risk, not losing your life savings. Accepting and accepting life's risks.

Besides cards, you're playing with your mind. You learn to read people, regulate your emotions, and accept that crap occurs in this mental gym. That skill doesn't stay at the casino, guy. They help in deals, relationships, and life. Stop viewing gambling as a vice. If done right, it's a self-improvement crash course. Not squandering money; investing in yourself
