How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[LogitechMouse]

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

Hmmm, TBH I don't know how did I manage to control my emotions while gambling. Maybe because of the fact that I've seen users here telling stories about them, or their friend, or their relative that got addicted into gambling because of their decisions, and the fact that I don't want to experienced what they've experienced is the reason why I always control my emotions whenever I gamble. Fortunately, it works for me.

I guess hearing stories from other people really is a good thing because you will learn different things from them. That worked for me, and I don't know for others here, but they helped me a lot. Also, experience can be a good teacher as well because the more you gamble, the more things that you will experience and based on them, you will make better decisions in the future.

For me, controlling your emotions is a vital role not only when you're gambling, but in everyday lives as well because you can make better decisions if you stay calm.

I think everything boils down to moderation and of course when a gambler apply carefulness and moderate their gamble activities without gambling overly or excessively it reduces their chances of getting addicted while gambling because there is a control level that is set to regulate their entire gambling activities and when that level is reach automatically they stopped without going further more to gamble.

All you’ve said right now is very correct. But we all know that this is actually one of the hardest things to do, particularly for a gambler who has either been addicted before or currently struggling with it. Sometimes even for the regular gamblers who have never tasted what addiction feels like, they could still end up falling into this trap, it only takes a gambler with a great deal of sell control, discipline and coordination to be able to withstand such pressure.

Rightly said maintaining control and discipline is very important when it comes to gambling. If you cannot control yourself it is not possible to avoid risk it is also a good idea to set a budget for yourself and never gamble beyond it. If you face losses you need to be disciplined not to exceed your limits planning helps you control your emotions. If you are confident and calm it will help you make good decisions later on.

It's better to do away with gambling than lose foolishly, if you can't control yourself in gambling, you will waste too much money, so why waste your money? Gambling needs us to stay responsible and show the needed restraints as much as possible. If one cannot control themselves, they will surely spend more than they plan, and not only that, they might add more money. What about coming back every time/day to wager and lose? By that time, addiction has set it which is the worst consequence.

Not just in gambling but also in every other areas of life, planning is an essential skill everyone must put first before every other thing. Although most of the time, we may not really need to plan first before we start gambling but it’s important to first of all put a lot of things into consideration first as these things would help us more in establishing a more conducive gambling environment.

In every aspect it is important not to get thrown out of balance.

It helps to have habit of recognizing emotionally charged situation, and to either get up and do something different and confront situation cool headed. Or practice stress management techniques such as deep breathing.

This will help managing the situation and reduce impact of emotions on your decisions. This way you will think more clearly and can draw more objective decisions.

You’re right. And I also believe that there are several other things that may help reduce the stress and tension in the air whenever we feel them while gambling. Perhaps the best thing to do at that moment could be completely taking a break at that moment, and then maybe focusing on doing other things that’ll help you alleviate the stress, whether physically or mentally, because proceeding with such a mood could result to impaired judgment and thereby leading to more losses.

Another thing is that gamblers should have a normal outine of guides on emotional control in gambling. With constantly following the routine, they can limit how they act on emotions but will rather be sensible is their decision making in gambling. Even me, sometimes I will battle with my emotions but I don't allow it to take hold of me every time that I start gambling.

Every single gambler I believe have different ways they react towards certain situations when they face them during their gambling sessions. And this includes, the amount of risk they are willing to take, how they’re able to manage their emotions while gambling, and at what extent they’ll get before they lose control of their emotions. These things and many more may differ from one gambler to another, that is why each gambler should identify their personal strengths and weaknesses when gambling, because that’s the only way they’ll be able to gain m or e control over their emotions and make better gambling decisions.

Even though I agree each gambler is indeed pretty much unique to the rest of the people in with market/entertainment industry. There will always be some common feelings which are shared with people who are either losing or winning money out their sessions, thrill, desperation and happiness and common ones. Though, according to the size of the wager we handle and the risk we can tolerate, it will be more difficult or easier for us to lose control over our feelings and start to commit mistakes during our sessions.
Handling a smaller bankroll and gambling less often, translates to feeling less pressured to win money and when the losses come, we do not worry as much about them. One needs to find the point of equilibrium when gambling, otherwise one could get psychologically sick.

How can a responsible gambler make mistakes? If he has made mistakes, how can he be responsible? Responsibility means never making a mistake.

The most important thing to take care of when gambling is “controlling yourself”.

If a person cannot control himself, then he will lose everything in gambling; that is natural. In fact, if someone does not have love for his own wealth, then it would not be right for him to gamble.

He who makes wealth with hard work knows the value of losing it.

I think that since wealth has to be earned with hard work, it should never be wasted in the guise of gambling. If I ever lost in gambling, I would have stopped playing immediately. I would have thought that today, I am out of favor. Today, I will not be able to make much profit. Whatever you think, do it!

Gambling calls for a greater focus on self-control so that you can at least deal with the situation of losing excessively. Control is not an easy thing to do. Controlling emotions can be quite difficult for a gambler and especially new gamblers. Gambling is a risky endeavor in which you have to be completely exposed to risk until the end. The effort you mentioned to set a budget would be the right consideration for anyone to make, but it would be very difficult to implement in the workplace if you do not have control over yourself. Implementing the principle of cutting expenses through discipline and strictness in gambling.

Yeah, gambling can really be a pretty risky endeavor, and it appears the only thing we can be able to control is excesses losses because the losses are totally inevitable. Plus, since it involves finance or making extra money, it becomes pretty easy for greed to set in, thereby making it impossible to control one’s emotions when faced with certain situations, particularly situations that doesn’t go according to your expectations in that particular situation.

Yeah it is possible to control losses in gambling because you can’t understand how luck works but you can easily control your gambling activities, like knowing when to stop , and the amount to risk and the best time to bet or gamble ,when you have some certain principles you be able to minimize those losses , and same time help you to secure an healthy gambling habit

Yeah, and to sum it all up. The make take away point is, don’t gamble solely because you wanna make some extra cash because the result can be disastrous. It is actually the after effects of this sort of perspective that gives space for excessive gambling, spending more than you initially anticipated and also spending more time and resources in gambling, which as we already know is the easiest route to gambling addiction.

It's risky, because you are betting on the unknown, and if the result doesn't favor your, obviously you will lose money and most of the time, you want to recover what you have lost to the casinos. And that is the start of being a addicted gambler as you can't control your emotions due to greed.

Although we have heard and seen a lot of suggestions, most of the time though it's really very hard to do it. Perhaps setting our gambling budget might help, and then just simply stick to the plan, if you lose then walk away and never look back.

That is one good advise, to practice good management, before you gamble, you should let yourself know how much you are willing to lose, amount that you will not be hurt if you totally lose it. And for those thinking gamblers, play those games that you know the odds, and understand that the house has the edge and it's better to play in just short amount of time, or at least set a time for your gambling activities.

It's really hard to do, but everything in life this is applicable, just stay relax and calm even if you losses. Or do not play if something is bothering you, like when you are stressed with your job or with your family. As you will be reckless because your judgement is clouded.

In theory your advice is correct, but in practice many gamblers really have difficulty maintaining consistency. I'm sure they have a limit, but many of them break it simply because of their ambition and great desire to win or recover losses. Many of us are greedy gamblers, but it is always good to have a limit and get out on time. Just look at how many of them spend all their winnings just because they want to win something bigger, only to end up with an empty balance.

If it's for gambling or anything else and you start before planning, you will make some errors before you eventually draw your plans. While they consider planning to be made first before you start gambling, it is for you to know how you will gamble, how much you will budget, how to use it, and when to stop. If such plans are not put in place before you start, you can lose money more before you realise it yourself, which could have been avoided if you had started with a laydown plan.

That's not how addictions work. Do you think that people who get addicted to things and spend so much money on them are only those who don't earn their money through hard work? I don't agree with that. I can find and show you thousands of people who have lost all their life savings in gambling only because of its addiction, and that doesn't mean they haven't worked hard to save all that money but it means that when you get addicted to gambling, you don't realize anything until the damage has been done.

People gamble, lose their wealth and properties, and even their relationships because of it, but they don't understand what they are doing until the very last moment when they realize there is nothing left for them to gamble with, it's that moment when some people realize their mistake, and some become criminals because they start doing illegal things to get money so that they can continue gambling. It's that bad.

Avoiding risks is not going to happen. When we gamble, risk is always associated with gambling and that's if you can or cannot control yourself. It is not going to go away. What we need to control is what you've said about being disciplined and despite the risk stays, you're minimizing the risk that you're having and the potential big impact if it goes the other way. That's why being confident, calm and disciplined as you're saying if all of these are altogether, you can control your emotions well.
