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

[nara1892]

Gambling in order to get some kind of excitement is not wrong, gambling becoming the only source of that excitement is what can bring a person a lot of trouble, and that is why we must always looks for other sources of entertainment that do not costs us as much money, as if we are honest gambling can become very expensive if you do it regularly, and if you lose control of yourself then the amount of money you could lose will be enormous and it may take you years to recover from those losses.

Absolutely right, buddy. If a man works a lot and stress accumulates, then it is not necessary to go and try to get rid of stress through gambling. We live in the era of the Internet and we have a lot of different entertainment that can relieve stress: these include movies and TV series and computer games. All this entertainment does not require money, it can all be downloaded for free. And certainly all this will not cause addiction.
Unless the series is too interesting, like Game of Thrones

Exactly, meaning there is no reasonable reason why they prefer gambling to relieve stress compared to other things that are no less enjoyable, and I think if the goal is to find entertainment to relieve stress due to other problems we experience in life So clearly the better and more sensible choice is to look for something else that is entertaining without the slightest risk consequences, especially risks that can lose money, such as gambling, for example, as you said, including watching films, television, or playing general games on a PC.

And if it turns out that the choice is gambling then I think there is something quite suspicious, in the sense that the goal is not to relieve stress but to seek or pursue victory. Although on the other hand I understand that everyone is free to choose, gambling should not be chosen if they use their common sense well to relieve stress at that time.

That's right, and this reveals a fact that however we all always like money, that's why we dedicate ourselves to getting involved and betting, and I'm sure that if gambling didn't provide the opportunity to win then there would be no people gambling or maybe very few people who will be interested in gambling.

Yes, and that is a very important point, because many may say or wonder that if a casino only makes losses, why do so many people keep playing? It's simple, sometimes we can be lucky, other times not, and most of us are people who bet on good opportunities and we insist a lot on that, therefore when we are looking for opportunities, why not try a casino? But use the casino in a responsible way, that is, do not put all the money there, because it can be a double-edged sword, if the players are clear about that, there will not be and should not be any problem.

That's true and it could also be addicting to try and get that opportunity that may not come. After I won a max win in slots and shared it, I realized how many gamblers have not even experienced the same thing even though they spent thousands of dollars in slots and a lot of time gambling. Some of them have higher VIP ranks than me and yet they didn't win a max win in their life as a gambler.
That is how long it can get which means which means we cannot just keep on spending and chasing our losses to achieve such a thing. What if what we will receive is just the same amount as we have spent? Then, we did nothing at all. All we had was the perks of having fun but there's also the stressful environment every time we lose. So, I think it's better if we keep it slow and just have fun playing our favorite games. No need to rush and lose the money to them.

-snip-
You would really be needing up that control and moderation in terms of the money that you are spending through it. You cant really just that make yourself spend like a madman just
because you are really that wanting to win up more. On the moment that you do lose up big time then this is where realization and regret would really be kicking in, on which
this is really just that a typical scenario.

I didn't really spend a lot of money just on gambling, it was already allocated and only $10 I played and lost in a few rounds of slots.

And yes, it should require moderation and good control, so that it doesn't just lose it.
I'm also not a crazy person who would spend a lot of money on gambling that I'm not good at.

No matter how much he loses, he will certainly regret it, because he failed to maintain the game to be more profitable.
In the end, they will only learn to manage and manage strategies well and not prioritize emotions and greed too much.

[LUCKMCFLY]

If you are someone whose really that playing gambling just for the sake of money making then you are really just that basically making your own grave.

Yes, it is as you say, I consider that any game, be it dice, roulette, slots, if there is no control over our money I think the situation will always get out of control, that is why when we are in a casino, in any eventuality including sports betting action, if there is no control over our money, then we will fall into all kinds of temptations, impulses, and most dangerously, an addiction, if the person is not clear about that, then I think they cannot play in a casino, because basically the things that have to do with casinos is money management and you should avoid losing it.

Yes and I am sure that means everyone comes to gambling to get money, or vice versa if only casinos did not provide the opportunity to win and only provided the possibility of loss as you said then maybe gambling would not be as popular as it is now.

Another reason why some people make gambling a place to earn is because gambling provides the opportunity to make money with little effort, or I mean you just press a button and get money, unlike when you work where you have to sacrifice your time and sweat to get money. I am sure that this is what is in the minds of people who try to make gambling a place to make money where the biggest mistake is that they do not look for other facts that there is no certainty and guarantee in an activity that provides the opportunity to earn money with little effort.

So actually if we look at gambling from a rational point of view then you will not see anything tempting there other than the entertainment aspect, because if we talk about results then actually the risk will continue and will continue to lurk behind the opportunity to win that you always hope for.

Something that I consider dangerous, I don't know, but it is in the group of emotions, is that, the impulses that always come between reason, logic, intelligence and greed appears, that is why for me the best thing will always be to control the money that you are willing to lose, there is no other way, control your coins and impulses? there will be some who do it, I admire them, but it is very easy not to do it, so I think I am one to play it safe, I think that as a person, when you have control of things, you do better in life, in the casino, in whatever.

Would it sound vague to tag gambling a mental battle for players? Psychological it is indeed an endless emotional struggle. Mentally, players have a tendency of justifying what's wrong to become right, thereby, creating room to repeat similar mistakes. This pattern of habit is significantly taking over a collosal amount of every player's psychology to engender lack of control and loss of funds. Which enables easy difficulty in maintaining what you said about wagering money one is able to lose. It's trivially easy to forget this while on a gambling session. An intrinsic mental control have taken over, and a player must apply mental strength to bend the impulse towards his own will.

Undoubtedly gambling can actually becomes problematic to our mental health if approached the wrong way, staying or control your emotions is a lead way towards achieving a healthy gambling activity such as understanding your psychology by gambling only the amount you can afford to lose, mixing gambling activities with other activities by not overly allocating your time, energy and resources in gambling, never borrow to gamble, you can go for a break if necessary, never see gambling as a means generating income a lot more but just few to mention and maintaining of this can help in building a good psychology towards gambling.

The excitement isn't a problem, rather i believe its the its the ability to keep in control all of your reactions to the the excitement of you gambling but then only but a few are able to keep this in check such that they are able to not allow this excitement get to become a problem to them while they gamble. other entertainments will still cost you money as i doubt if there's any form of entertainment that doesn't cost any money, rather you only try to keep under control how much and how frequently you spend on whatever form of entertainment it is, even gambling would require you keep your spending under control nd then be able to still maintain a good habit around it.

Basically what you explained is correct, but the most difficult thing is the implementation.
You can certainly say that self and financial control in gambling is really important, but most gamblers have a very hard time doing it. They are defeated by their lust and greed, while they know what they will face as a risk. Not a few gamblers experience gambling problems, while they still gamble non-stop and hope that one day all their losses can be recovered with big wins.

The psychological aspect is what many players are finding difficult to understand. We need to know what we are doing as gamblers so we don't selfishly think that we can make the kind of money we intend to make when we are just trying for nothing. The psychological aspect need to be understood very well for us to be disciplined not to fall victim to such mistakes of gambling too much of becoming an addiction. Addiction has been one of the problems we have been facing as gamblers and when it continues, it could become worse for us to manage if we don't have the resources to control it.

The majority of gamblers are directionless and psychologically blind. That is one of the issues they fail to address. Did you give yourself too much hope? Even when they realize some things are not possible, they will continue with what they have in mind, forgetting that gambling is all about chance. Another issue is that gamblers are constantly blinded by their winnings. They are so confident that they can make a particular amount of money via gambling. It's not like you want to gain money from gambling, but some things are too good to be true, especially the potential win, and understanding that the sooner they realize this, the better. If we don't discipline ourselves, we must be prepared to meet Whatever addiction you bring to the table, since the moment you can no longer control yourself, it becomes a lifestyle. When it becomes a lifestyle, it becomes a problem. One thing that surprises me the most is that gamblers expect to always win, which is impossible. We should just learn how to control ourselves Because that is the only way to be safe while gambling.

Addiction has been one of the problems we have been facing as gamblers and when it continues, it could become worse for us to manage if we don't have the resources to control it.

The existence of selfishness that appears will of course make someone only do what they think, and when they can't control themselves, they tend to think only about thinking about themselves being able to win for sure, which makes it difficult for them to get out of gambling. This is the kind of thing that needs to be changed, because in this way they tend to become acutely addicted and with the large number of people who become addicted, the problem lies in their thinking, which could be said to be a psychological problem.

What you say is correct, when addiction occurs, it is usually difficult to recover if the main perpetrator does not have the effort or resources to control themselves. Therefore, before gambling, we must be able to think clearly and realize that gambling is a game of probability where there is little chance that we will get a definite profit. Therefore, we must be able to think that gambling cannot fully enable us to get certain benefits, which must be implemented at the beginning before gambling.

Self control actually matters a lot and it is good we really know what we are doing so that we don't have to think that the result is going to become positive when it is obvious that nothing is going to change. It is good we have good understanding about how to work on ourselves and improve things if we really want to be making money from gambling. It is not all strategies that will work for us if we want to actually make good money for ourselves. There are so many gamers and gamblers that are still finding it difficult to be making money from there businesses because they are not actually doing the right thing.

You are right, given oneself too much hope and over confidence can be very problematic since there is no guarantee of winning, it is a fact that we can not have control over our games after placing a bet hence it is unreasonable and unrealistic for anyone to become over confidence probably some time after a winning we become carried away by thinking that we can be winning all the time, winning or Lossing are both just a chance so it is better we build our emotions towards either winning or Lossing such that we need to have that control of ourselves in whichever becomes the outcome.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So I believe and agree that majority of those that mental/emotional crisis are all those that have failed in their personal control of both greed and emotions and over stepping their baunderies expecting too much.

There is no doubt about it, in fact we are people who thanks to emcoins make us human, and thanks to that we must look for the mechanism so that our emotions do not affect us to lose money, in this case in the psychological control must enter the control of the money, when entering the control of the money or the amount that you are willing to lose in a game session for me is enough so that you do not repress the emotions and you can enjoy the game, open your emotions, but have the discipline of not depositing more money than you were willing to lose in that game session.

self-control is huge. It concerns everything, not only the casino. In business, relationships, or life, its what distinguishes the victors from the losers. Regarding gambling, you have to keep your thoughts clear even if its easy to be caught in the thrill. This is a game, not a means of income.

Making money gambling is difficult. It calls for a great deal of discipline, talent, and a little luck. Thats OK; its not for everyone. What gambling teaches you about yourself is, imo, its true worth. Its like a test, a way to see how you handle pressure and make decisions under stress..

But it must be said honestly controlling emotions is not something that is easy to do, especially when we don't have our own rules to limit ourselves in gambling maybe we will make ourselves fall deeper and deeper if we don't have limits.

Controlling emotions needs several instruments of thinking principles so that we act logically in doing anything so that things that can have a bad impact can be filtered by the principles we make through the rules that have been made, and we must be disciplined about it.

Emotions can be provoked easily when gambling, whether it's because of losing or because of winning, such as thinking when losing wants back the money that has been lost and if in victory it will result in greed and being too ambitious to get a big win.

Psychological control is something that would really be that outmost important or something that it is really that relevant, because on the moment that you do lost control and couldnt be able to think up well then you would really be that making that huge mistake into the things that you are really that involving into on which it wont really be just that limited on gambling alone but also in other things as well on which it is really that indeed important on proper thinking and planning.

On the time or moment that you would be considering yourself dealing up with something like gambling then it would really be just that right or preferred on having that control and moderation specially into finances on which we know that once you do make yourself impulsive then you would really be ending up on having
that huge problem and this isnt really that something recommended.

Addiction is a significant loss that money can't cure. Funds contribute to the healing process, but they are not enough—cash causes gambling addiction for a lot of players. And few players give it a thorough thought before chasing after money. When a player is mentally disturbed, life becomes difficult. Because, to careless players, money handles everything, most of them wouldn't mind going compulsive in gambling. The gambling problem begins with the early thoughts of the player about gambling.

Some go this far due to the famous belief that money requires risks. It's hard to change the way people reason. And this persisting barrier to changing the way other people think is the problem with eradicating addiction. Finding a selfless player who cares more about his mental stability than money will be rare. The majority of players do the opposite. Surprisingly, before going into gambling, people living with an addiction never thought of the mental effects of excessive gambling. Within them, they understood money was the only thing on the line.

It's clear my friend, high confidence and hope are always something that can encourage someone to do something immediately, but if we bring both of these things into gambling then it is clear that having high confidence and hope can be fatal because as you said that the results of the game can never be controlled according to our wishes, or simply we will never know when we will win, while it is clear that defeat will always be a risk that will continue to lurk.

In most cases, usually increased confidence and hope for victory often occurs when a gambler is in a winning situation, the unbearable joy and pleasure can cause hallucinations and direct themselves to continue playing because they assume that a much bigger win is near, and increased confidence and hope are also one of the factors that cause a gambler to find it difficult to stop and instead apply greed, in the end, yes, as you said, winning is nothing more than a chance, and we better focus on risk management.

Gambling addiction is certainly more difficult to stop because as long as he has money he will continue to make deposits. Indeed, addiction will make someone feel like their mind is being controlled by gambling because every day they will not be satisfied if they don't gamble. Those in this phase of course need time to restore their minds to a more normal state by undergoing rehabilitation. For this reason, think wiser before gambling so that the money we use does not become a big burden on our minds if we lose. Even though he is experienced in gambling, if one day he loses control then he will be mentally disturbed at that time because he loses all his savings due to gambling unreasonably because he is full of emotions in chasing a big multiplier. The big conclusion is of course that there is no such thing as chasing a big win in gambling unless luck comes your way.

and a player must apply mental strength to bend the impulse towards his own will.

Yes, and it's not bad , because things as we see them have to be very positive for us, but Above all we must have a lot of mental Strength to resist all the attacks that the game can give us , this is possibly what one as a player must prepare for , but it is basically to have control in the face of losses,  I have Always advised before playing to establish how much can be spent and lost, and that's it, this way it is very likely to avoid Problems , whether it be self-control of economies, Impulses, Among other things.
