How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[Pandorak]

This is where many gamblers actually go wrong. They know they should control their emotions properly but they don't do it in their actual gambling. That is because they can't remove the greed and addiction from their character in reality.

But if they start doing this little by little even by limiting our gambling money, we won't notice that we will gradually be able to control ourselves.

Most of us do not realize when playing in gambling we are in a state of not being able to control emotions, maybe because of defeat or whatever it is, we will realize it when the game is over and we know it ends with an accumulation of defeat, that's when we just realize it and regret it.

It is indeed very difficult when talking about emotional control, such as when winning in the game we tend to continue playing because of curiosity and greed to win more, on the other hand when we lose we tend to get upset and emotions that can cause us to make another deposit just because we want to restore the previous defeat.

This is quite complicated, even if we already have an allocation in gambling, we can still use savings and even borrow when we lose, this happens because we cannot control our emotions.

Every greedy gambler that don't want to let go of his losses will live to regret chasing his losses, because he will incur more losses. Self control is very important in any activity that can be habitual to us. Whoever lacks self control over his gambling activities can become addicted easily. We shouldn't gambe to put ourselves into a big problem that'll affect us mentally, instead we should gamble for fun with an amount that you can afford to lose.

This is the only reason for more losses, because gamblers will continue to recover their losses, but the losses will never be recovered, but only more losses will increase. In fact, this type of activity begins because of their attitude, if they had accepted gambling only as entertainment, then this type of addiction would never have happened.

Therefore, maintaining control is very important, someone who lacks control can easily become addicted, which is enough to destroy his life.

But it is not possible for everyone to see gambling as entertainment. No matter how much it is talked about, there will always be people who will see gambling as an avenue to make more money. That not withstanding, wether we see gambling as entertainment or for profit making, we still need that emotional control, so that we will know when to stop having the fun, especially when money is involved for those chasing entertainment. And for those chasing profits, we equally need to know when to stop so we don't blow up our savings. The moment you start hearing that small voice that keep telling you, try one more time and recover, when you are losing. Just know it's your emotion speaking to you. Don't listen to that voice, especially when you have exceeded your budget for the day. One effective way to controlling your emotions is to go to the casino with only money you intend gambling with. Don't go with extra money.

If you continue following such kind of act when you are experiencing losing streaks, chances that you'll see yourself losing a lot and like what you mentioned, it can lead into addiction and we must stop that kind of emotion. Either force yourself or find ways to use alternative venue to put yourself to other things instead of pushing yourself forward and keep losing more. That will allow us to find that discipline we need to avoid making huge mistake and lose lots of money.

If losing streaks often occur in betting, then I would think about leaving gambling altogether. Betting is different in that the player chooses the bet himself, if he is not good enough in betting, and this often leads to losing streaks, then why do it, for me it means lost money and disappointment from lost money, it has nothing to do with pleasure and entertainment. The best way to avoid emotional disorders is to find yourself another hobby.

It seems painful to play gambling only defeats are obtained and never win, what from the beginning did not have a strategy when playing. surely people who always gamble get a 2-fold victory that I often see. it's just that most people are reluctant to take a small-fold money victory. surely people who always lose have great ambitions expecting a much bigger victory. I often see people gambling on average most are given a 2-fold victory. but not everyone can be grateful to get the luck that is their destiny.

Strategies are really just that making the games even bit more longer or lengthening up the duration but its not something that gives out assurance that you have increased up your winning up these games. Analysis and strategies will really be only relevant when you do make up some sports betting or some card games, but if we do speak about casino games then it will really be not relevant at all. So it will really be that up to you.
How to practice emotional control in gambling then this is where it do talks about real time experiences on which this where it would really be testing out your mindset and emotions at the time that you do engage with it. On the moment that you do lack of that experience then you cant be able to enhance up that control. Im not saying that you should be letting yourself that experience deep loses first before learning, but usually this is the case that do really happen for most people.

strategy to control emotions is also needed, however, playing for me prioritizes control so that everything is under control and not carried away by endless ambition. of course I don't always linger on the gambling page, so apply strategies from time, money, discipline. like betting on sports I only put my money on the team I choose and switch to other activities. everyone has different experiences even though we are in the same world of gambling between getting up from a slump or being destroyed for so long will make a sad phase. all of that has become a risk, don't run away from responsibility

[Rockstarguy]

Though it's for sure that not all can control their emotions and if they keep it and follow the trend then the outcome will turned against them and they'll lose more money than the amount that they'll think they allocate for their gambling.

The pressure of losing control can immerge from a rough daily experience outside the casino which may cause the player to forget about all the responsible gaming strategy which they always apply. In some cases, responsible gamers who had a tough day tend to relive themselves in a casino, with their thoughts focused on the real life situation, all chances of staying in control will be lost. Hence, players must be careful not to gamble in a terrible emotional state.   

That is why gamblers needs to be conscious and not to be carried away while gambling. Gambling responsibly should be a goal to  every gambler to manage gambling activities and not to play exclusively that will lead to so much loses. Gambling could be a form of making people get relieved because of the fun involved after going through stressed day, but this shouldn't be a reason why one should lose control and not to be responsible in gambling.
If having a tough day would make one to be carried away to gamble exceed limit it will be best to always go into gambling when one is stable and free from stress.

[DPHOR]

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.

If a gambler can be able to moderate their self keep their self under control without allowing anything to distract them from that limit they have set for their self they will be on the advantage of not losing too much they will know when to stop and when to gamble, but some do still set that limit and fail to keep to it it’s hard for them to stay without on track game result can easily manipulate their actions.

It's that very easier to set limits but very difficult to remain disciplined about whatever decisions they have made towards their gambling activities, most times we often see people talking about moderation and yes, some do not apply it because they allows their greed to engulfed them causing to lose focus and looking only towards their winning, even if they were losing they wouldn't be that careful or mindful but what they look after is how much they could gained from their current activities while gambling.

People who gamble for fun are those who gamble with the amount they can do away with, those who makes gambling as source of their income aways adhire to that emotion that tells them keep gambling you will recover all you have lost and they keep on losing more and more money, though it is always difficult for an addicted gambler not to listen to that emotional thought that always tells you to keep on gambling most persons at that point tend to deposit any of their property if there is no cash left with them again to continue gambling with so it will be better not to even go to the gambling hall with anything gadget incase the money you came with got finished you can easily go home without losing your money and gadget.

I think the idea of having emotional control is moving into direction that a person must first experience fail and loss. Kind of science that can not be learned and mastered without negative experience. Impossible to learn without be on the other side of the barricade. A person or a gambler first must learn what he is about to face, before trying to become better. So how to lose emotional control ? The hard and expensive way is to keep losing until understanding how to resist negative emotions.

You're right just like as I said in my previous post, is always advisable to go to the casino with that amount you intend to gamble with more especially for those who are easily carried away by their emotions maybe when they have exceeded that certain amount they intend to gamble with and it happens to be that they still have some money left with them, they will just decide to gamble with the remaining money as well. at this point they have now exceeded more than that amount they wish to gamble with, So therefore I think going with that amount you intend to gamble without having any extra money in our Pocket is the most effective way of dealing with it, just as you said earlier.

I completely agree with you that it is impossible to train emotional intelligence without losses, and there are situations when a player wins at first because he is lucky, but I am almost sure that over time he will lose all the money, because he thinks that it is so easy to win and will continue to do so until his luck runs out at the end. Only nothing will remain of his winnings. And those who know how to lose and are ready for it, always understand that luck is not constant, and you always need to take part of the winnings, even I always do this and am happy about it. I think that training emotional control also depends very much on knowledge and experience in general.

Emotional control is a challenge for every gambler even though there is a sense of responsibility, sometimes we lose to our own emotions due to not being able to control or in an unstable state.

One self-control that is always done - must gamble with a minimal bankroll, because it will think this will not bear more losses, therefore emotions will not be big because it can be controlled.

Moreover, continuing to chase defeat is clear that it will be difficult to control emotions.

Emotional control is actually a choice, we can be in control of our actions just the same way you control the parts of your body, it's very possible to control your emotions but most gamblers are too Indisciplined to pay attention to this. One way to keep yourself in check is by accepting every loss you have in gambling, chasing your losses means that you are not in control yourself and this can lead to a whole lot of outcomes that might be unfavorable. Learn to have a fixed amount you stake on each bet and try not to exceed it no matter what.

Also learn to not gamble above your budget for the day or week depending on how you make the budget for your bets. Emotions control is needed by all gamblers or they would not be capable of having any good results because of constantly allowing their emotions to deceive them. Our emotions not being under control is a disaster waiting to happen because without a stable mind, we can not make correct predictions. Lack of emotion control leads us to being addicted. We should have it in mind that losing money to gambling is not the end of the world therefore we do not have become violent when that happens. Some gamblers can get out of control that it leads to their death or the death of some random people and that become so unfortunate.

[eisen33]

I think it's much easier to control the budget, or the number of bets that I can't exceed in case of losses. I understand that in case of losing the entire allowed budget for the evening, this can be upsetting, but not every gaming day is successful, you just have to accept it. It's much worse if in case of a loss and reaching a certain limit you continue to play and try to win back, this can lead to the fact that everything will become even worse.

If it's that easy then I think we won't be talking about this. We can always say to have a fixed amount to gamble but there will be a point when you are gambling and losing when you will think that you want to deposit more because you feel that the next deposit might be your win. Until it goes on and on and you deplete everything including your savings. The discipline is where it all goes down. Do we have a strong mentality that we can keep ourselves from depositing more even though we are on a losing streak? I think there should be a perspective where we can easily accept all the losses and think of the lost money as not ours anymore and we cannot get it back.

I too hold a similar viewpoint. Limiting the funds allocated for the gambling session has significantly reduced my losses. Since losing is a natural outcome in gambling, you just have to accept it. It is clear that immediately after losing most gamblers experience negative emotions, but after a while they stop bothering us. In my opinion, this is quite normal reaction of our psyche to the stimulus. Thus our body is trying to protect us.

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.

Yes that is really correct because most gamblers who aren't that discipline while gambling could still fall for such trap while gambling that is why when a gambler has set upon a particular amount to gamble and they have exhausted such amount it is quite important to stop gambling, otherwise if there are any important game or matches they have to bet on and they go ahead placing additional bet or play more game this entails us they are not gambling responsibly and hence are fueling their addiction level to gamble.

This is definitely a very important point, setting a limited budget in gambling is very useful to control the amount of losses, but it is entirely your responsibility to stop after losing this limited budget. Because many people cannot control themselves after losing a certain budget, and behave like an addicted gambler, a limited budget is of no use to them, because they cannot accept defeat. And I think that if someone is not ready to accept defeat, then he should stay away from gambling as much as possible, because in gambling he will definitely lost.

I think the key to avoiding impulsive actions and decisions is to "accept defeat", I think that's the only thing that can make it easier for us to stop at the right time before everything gets worse, basically emotions always push someone into a much worse situation in anything and not just in gambling, so it is very possible for a gambler to lose much more money when they can't control their emotions. This is where it is important to have a rational point of view, because I'm sure that by understanding the concept of winning and losing in gambling, you will realize that your actions by prioritizing emotions will only lead you to a much worse situation.

If you are still in control better to make that hard stop and quit your way out from the venue where you are performing your gambling activities, those who can are safe in will avoid losing more than they can afford to let go, it's a good discipline where things still be in your favor in terms of preventing to lose more money.

Though it's for sure that not all can control their emotions and if they keep it and follow the trend then the outcome will turned against them and they'll lose more money than the amount that they'll think they allocate for their gambling.

That's only if for example they can really control themselves especially in terms of emotions, but in essence as I said above that the main key to being able to avoid losing money in significant amounts is only by having the ability to "accept the state of defeat", because all decisions are in the hands of the gamblers themselves, meaning that what we must first resolve is the trigger because there will be no impact whatsoever if we can overcome something that triggers the occurrence of various unwanted things. So the first in my opinion is to admit the following also by accepting that you have lost and lost money and the second is to understand that that's what gambling is like.

I can't accept that I'm going to lose all of my money and gambling is going to lead to a result that you don't want to lose. Deliberate focus on triggering will not be positive in gambling and you will only have the key to limiting it and nothing else will help. Why should you tolerate losing significantly in gambling when you are focused on your decisions not to spend too much time. You have to accept that you can't be on the disqualified list so you have to find a win so you have to keep gambling and betting more is not the solution so you have to be in tune with your money and effectively press your trigger in such a way that you are not letting your luck get the better of you.

Hahahahaha it doesn't work that way all the time, controlling our emotions is the best way to go about the whole situation because most times when one is carried away, refilling of betting amount becomes very easier because your emotions is controlling you even after having in mind to only gamble with a specific amount and to stop after utilizing that amount, it has happened to me in my earliest days when I started gambling but I know better now compared to before experience has really taught me a lot. Although targeting to make use of a specific amount can help but it is not enough.

Gambling is all about controlling your emotions and having the mindset of accepting whatever is the outcome of your bet. I could remember way back when I was unable to control my emotions, even when I don't have money on me. I keep thinking on how to win back my losses and that do  trigger the gambling spirit in me.
