How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[Fredomago]

Yeah, you need to understand that gambling is a risky activity and you needed to work on it to make sure that you are still dominant in terms of emotional control, once your emotions dominate you the risk is high for you to lose a lot and become addicted, you must be ready in quitting your way if you already lose the amount that you allocate for your gambling and not to allow your emotion to add more in trying to recover your loses.

Indecision makes it looks that way because they wouldn't be that relying or sticking to their decisions based on their initial statements of not going above their previous limits but when they senses a winning coming without thoroughly verifying that winning you would see them going to make additional deposit, just to continue gambling at this point they aren't standing on their decision that they had made earlier.

Indeed, once they start breaking whatever the set limitation that they've made then chances that they'll going to fall into more risky decisions that leads them to lose a lot, from that view it's there emotions that dominates them. It's really a tough job for you to contol your emotion but it's needed to fulfill if you want to lessen your stress and prevents you from losing the amount that you can't afford to let go.

This is the most important thing in gambling - self-control. It’s what keeps us in check. If we can’t control ourselves, we’re setting ourselves up for ruin and won’t last long in gambling. Without discipline, gambling stops being fun and becomes a burden. Worst case? The only time we stop is when we’ve got nothing left to gamble with.

And there's another case when worst comes after worst. Like the one you've mentioned, the next thing with it is when they have nothing left to gamble, the urge is getting stronger and they'd do odd and crazy things just for them to have some money again. This makes themselves satisfied to gamble even they have to do those awkward things that they are not used in doing. First, asking for a loan to gamble but they'll lie to the lender that it's not for loan. Next, when they can no longer get loan, they'll sell their valuables.

I assume we’re all mature and responsible gamblers here, but from time to time, we still make mistakes. One of the most common mistakes is failing to control our emotions, we know where that leads.. losses, and the higher the stakes, the bigger the potential losses we have to endure.

That’s why it’s important that before placing big bets, we are already emotionally stable and disciplined enough to follow our strategy consistently.

So, guys, how do you control your emotions while gambling? And how has it benefited you?

Yes,emotional control is one of the hardest but most important things in gambling. You must set clear limits before you start,both for time and money,and stick to them no matter what. You must take a break when you starting losing and i think that is a key for emotional control,i know is hard but can be helpful.

That's the true responsible gambler if they can stick by their rules. Some would put a limit on their gambling budget but they cannot follow their own rules and they cross the line or break their promises to themselves and deposit more. This is where it all goes wrong because we are the ones who are choosing to be irresponsible. It can easily be done since deposit options today are broad and some have instant deposits that can make us play again in seconds or minutes. So, it will all depend on us on how we are strict with our own rules.

What to do to control emotion in gambling is simple, but the question is, will the person do it? I don't think all gamblers faced with the ugliness and ignoble acts in gambling do not know about emotion and even how to control it, but they lack the willpower and this is mostly caused by their desperation for the money.

This is why you see them trying to make money by all means and also revenging their losses aggressively. All these have to be corrected by having a limit, budget and management as your core plan in gambling, and also be extremely strict and disciplined to actualise them.

You're right most people find it very difficult to control thier emotions more especially when they lose a huge amount of money, they can decide to set a limit on when to stop. But at some point they will find it very difficult to stick to thier decision as a result of not gambling with what they can afford to lose, I think this is the major reason why most gamblers always find it very difficult in sticking to thier decision when gambling.

OP:
How to practice emotional control in gambling?
I have "3" ways, choose one:

• Invite your wife and have her watch you play, watching you make incredible bets.
• Manage your bankroll.
• And finally, bet in the ratio of 1:100 or better 1:500 and even better 1:1000, that is, for every $1 you bet, so leave behind 999 opportunities, and I tell you that you can manage options of 1:10000, with that ratio adapted to your bankroll you will control your emotions.

 

The first way will solve all problems in a moment: with emotions, with bets, with gambling, with free time
I told my wife, that i plan to get money from sport betting. She didn`t like such idea, but we hadn`t problem with money, and she agreed that i can spend for it up to $300 per month. After few months of winning, she became more emotional gambler than i, even without bets.

When we get used to having a limited amount of money when we gamble, this is a big factor in controlling ourselves. And of course, when we get used to these limitations when gambling,
there is self-control in ourselves.

And when we do this, it is clear that we have the right control over our emotions, which we can do every time we gamble in any casino, whether online or offline.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

I assume we’re all mature and responsible gamblers here,

Nope, there's still some amongst us who fail to gamble responsibly, although it's courteous with your assumptions.

but from time to time, we still make mistakes. One of the most common mistakes is failing to control our emotions, we know where that leads.. losses, and the higher the stakes, the bigger the potential losses we have to endure.

Emotional control is very important in our gambling life and where it's gets tricky is the point at which we start exerting that emotional control, do we plan for it and apply when due, it did we relax and try applying it when it's too late?

That’s why it’s important that before placing big bets, we are already emotionally stable and disciplined enough to follow our strategy consistently.

So, guys, how do you control your emotions while gambling? And how has it benefited you?

I believe the best way to apply control measures is to adequately prepare for scenarios that might warrant those controls. For me I make sure that I fund my casino account in accordance to my gambling budget for the day, then I go on playing having in mind that I'll not deposit more money into the casino. So it's easier to control my emotions since I know my principles that on no account would I deposit twice. I don't chase loses, since as soon as my balance is zero, I quit.

But they must keep try to control their emotions no matter if that is hard. They need to start learn self control so they will not follow their emotions that can lead them to get more losses. In their lesson, they will learn about take a deep breath or other things such as leave the casino right away after they lose so they can reduce the tension. Leaving the casino will be better for them to control their emotion and rest for some time to calm down their emotion. But if they feel they still think about gambling, they must do something that can makes their brain think and distract about gambling.

What is actually more important is doing away with gambling addiction, for if addiction is involved, all that you have said is nothing but mere stories, for an addicted gambler can go to any length to get money to gamble when he or she runs out of funds him or herself and the urge to game comes.

Ive watched  someone being beaten up when he went to steal from a business place but got caught, in the process of mobs beating him, he was asked why he came there to steal, he said he needed the money for gambling, that a game came up, and he didn't have money to bet on it, and having tried all means available to him to get money but couldn't, he was tempted to steal, many gamblers in the midst of the mob easily understood that he was an addicted gambler.

Exactly, it all comes down to self-control. It's easy to set limits, but the real challenge is sticking to them. Today, with fast deposits as you mentioned, which can be made in seconds, it's easy to cross the line, especially when paying with a card because you don’t have the real sense of spending actual cash. If you know when to stop, betting can be great fun and even bring a good profit, but without control, it can easily turn into a problem. That's why it's important to be honest with yourself and play smart.

[criptoevangelista]

To have emotional control, there is nothing better than surviving a bear market in the cryptocurrency market. Seeing you capital loses value is a very effective way to control emotions. When a person can deal with this well, with money gaining and losing value, dealing with everything else becomes much easier.

[Fredomago]

Yeah there's something that triggered them to push forward instead of following their set limitation, especially when you are in the losing side, when the amount that you use is something that you can't afford to let go, instead of calling for the day you'll top more money in hope that you'll be able to recover back that amount that you lose.

And most of the time, those kind of decision leads you to lose more and you find yourself regretting with that action that you made instead of following your limitation you push your way and go deeper.

[Eternad]

Don’t be surprised because gambling itself is designed to make you trigger the longer you play. Games has house edge which means you will surely lose in the long run while we as person is prone to human error due to our emotions that’s why we always experiencing being triggered no matter what self-control we try.

Casino is expecting that gambler will commit mistake that’s why they never lose against player aside from the profit on house edge.

People should realize this on which gambling is really that design to make people lose and since this was built for the sake of entertainment then it is really just that bad or really just that not ideal that you would really be thinking that you can make money with it. It is really just that a very bad approach to have that one on which you are really that trying out to milk out the casino on which this cant really be that possible. Its really that important that you do really know at least on what you should gonna do or on how you would be that dealing up into that realistic way rather than on making yourself that delusional because this is where people do messed up their lives because of this very sole or common reason. Play for fun and just that make use of the amount that you cant be able to lose so that you wont really be finding your life to be that miserable because you have that spend up too much money. You should really be that careful on what you do have in mind.

Pushing yourself too hard when you have nothing but still want to gamble, but there are people who do crazy things like this, looking for money in any way such as looking for loans or selling their valuables, the goal is indeed to hope to be able to cover the losses that have been incurred, with the wrong way it will actually become a burden, the gambling that he does will clearly be uncontrollable because he hopes too much to be able to win the game

[YOSHIE]

So, guys, how do you control your emotions while gambling? And how has it benefited you?

We often do gambling activities, the decisions taken during winning and losing gambling based on emotional decisions and instincts are commonly felt the gamblers, however to control Emotions in gambling are not an easy matter, but must be recognized to control emotions is important and can be successful in gambling.

Although all we know the biggest enemy emotions in gambling where we often make rash and irrational decisions for that my experience and ways to control emotions in gambling can be done with several factors that need to be avoided.
For example:
* By overcoming "excessive euphoria" where these traits are always excessive and confident when winning in gambling, so we sometimes forget the risk and make recurring bets until we are not aware of losses.
* Furthermore, "greed and revenge" in this way can trigger excessive emotions without control wanting revenge for defeat, often making a deposit repeatedly without realizing that it is a trap for the risk of big loss.

The point: Controlling emotions is in yourself, try not to let the emotions control your mind, keep in control whatever type of game you play.

[crwth]

This is an interesting topic because it’s about being mature and knowing what would happen if you continued gambling and did not go over the line with your emotions. It’s mostly accepting that in gambling, you could get emotional just because you’re invested in it so much that since you know it, you already have control over how you would react. Most of the time, the emotional outbursts are reactions toward what’s happening. If you think about it and do the risk management, you can improve your reactions.

Being aware that it happens when you gamble is a big step already, in my opinion.

[Patikno]

I assume we’re all mature and responsible gamblers here, but from time to time, we still make mistakes. One of the most common mistakes is failing to control our emotions, we know where that leads.. losses, and the higher the stakes, the bigger the potential losses we have to endure.

So, guys, how do you control your emotions while gambling? And how has it benefited you?

Personally I also consider myself a mature and responsible gambler, but sometimes we experience emotional conditions when gambling, usually it happens when experiencing consecutive or quite large losses, even though all of that is the allocation provided for gambling which is ready to experience defeat. And because I have become a responsible gambler, what I need when experiencing such emotional conditions is Time, which usually I will stop all gambling activities for a while until this condition is really stable and not think too much about the problem, then I will try to play again with the strategy used or a different strategy, usually it works well for me to be able to control emotions when gambling.
