How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[Jaycoinz]

Practicing emotional discipline in gambling is about changing your mindset about gambling. First of all, remind yourself that you are not in control of the game, if you are into casino games always be mentally ready to lose because that's what these casinos programmed everything to do, they make more while you end up with nothing. always have it at the back of your mind that gambling cannot enrich you, don't be moved other people's wins, some are lies and some just got Lucky. It's all a psychological game and you can stay trapped if you don't control yourself.

One way that we can use in controlling our emotions when it comes Gambling is that we should know that gambling is a game of luck so don't expect much from gambling because no matter how smart you are with your gambling strategy you can't beat or outsmart the bookmakers when it comes to gambling so it's always advisable that we prepare our money mind that what ever gambling throws at us we should not be shocked or become emotional unstable because the fact of the matter is that gambling is a matter of luck and should not be taken personal when you become disappointed in your gambling

Well that's the secret, limit money, or as I say, as long as it's going to happen or be there, you must have money willing to lose , after that, no more, whoever manages to do that and repeat it will be successful, I think that's what it's about , Those who lose money are those who experiment the most, I'm clear about it, if it worked for me, then it can work for anyone without any kind of distinction.

That is how it will be.

Gamblers need to accept the losses that they're willing to lose and limit the amount of money that they are going to gamble.

Because if not, it's going not to make sense anymore why they gamble without limits, they're putting themselves at the bad situation if they are always emotional.

Yup, always going to be in a bad situation if the habit is always to follow their emotions, yet, it's better to have that set limitation to avoid doing that same mistake each time they play or bets with their favorite gambling sports or games, it's more on how you set your budget and the time that you allocates and after that just leave and bring the entertainment instead of getting too much stress and frustation because you unable to control losing a lot.

And that is one way of stopping ourselves from being emotional.

If we tend to set a limit when we gamble, we can avoid further loss and drop. It's hard to overcome more losses just by being emotional.

It is what triggers our minds that we'll have to deal with it even if it's so difficult and we're just trying to recover.

Indeed. People who expect too much to win big prizes in gambling, they are very possible to lose self-control. It is because they will always try to gamble as often as possible to ensure they have a bigger chance to win it. They also will increase the money to use in gambling. Unfortunately, it is true that there is no way to increase the chance of winning the games. We must admit that winning the gambling games are mostly about the luck. We can't push our luck because it is beyond of our capability.

Well, as mature people, we should have the way to calm our mind and remind ourselves to stay in reasonable limits. This is actually the reason why the gamblers must be mature people, the casinos limit the minimum ages for the users. They want to ensure that there are no people who have unstable emotion in gambling.

The most important thing to keep in mind when gambling is to know when to stop. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, he has to stop playing by any means. And if he does not stop playing urgently, he loses everything. We see two types of people in gambling: one type of people are those who can control themselves while gambling, and the other type of people are those who cannot control themselves while gambling. Those who can control themselves, at the end of the day, win, and those who cannot control themselves, at the end of the day, they lose.

It's easy to say and hard to do, when emotions prevail over you, all a player can think about is how to win back, and it can be difficult to stop. The only thing that will help you control yourself is to think in advance how you will act in case of winning and in case of losing. This will at least imply what to do in case of losing, because when you are subject to emotions, sometimes you cannot immediately figure out how to act.

But the problem is that people fails to understand this about gambling.  I'm talking from experience,  their is a way you will win in gambling yo would think winning is easy and you can get it all the time, and with this feeling you don't even mind to gamble with all the money that you have, this is just deceptive and misunderstanding people normally have in gambling.  They find it difficult to believe gambling is luck until they experience what gambling is all about and learn from their experience.

Gambling is not harmful. Addiction is. But let's not act as though addiction only affects weak people. What you call “lack of control” is often just neural hijacking wrapped in flashy interfaces and dopamine loops. The house is more familiar with psychology than most therapists are. And we keep acting like it’s just about being sensible.

Most people only learn once they have reached bottom. But even then, not all rise. Because most people do not want to be reprogrammed. It’s the need to feel something in a world that numbs us. Gaming replaces silence with action, uncertainty with hope, boredom with stimulus. People don’t chase wins. They chase meaning, even if it costs them everything.

Actually, some people can walk away. Most can’t. And even if you know better, will you still hit the button when your feelings persuade you it is your chance to win? Knowing isn’t enough. Inner work is. Control isn’t given. It is trained daily, alone, cruelly.

You are correct btaht all the times it might not be possible to be a winner and there might have a lose and in this way there is no guaranty whether the person will be  a winner or the person will be a loser. There is anything which might be happen to a gambler in this case the person should have 3rd option which may make the user profit or loss.

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.

Mistakes is inevitable but then we need to be properly guided especially in gambling cause it always have a way of luring one and making them go beyond their decisions and this is wherei agree to the practice of emotional control that way one can be discipline with their gambling habits and with time reduce lots of mistakes that come with gambling. Besides it's very simple to me I don't know about others to controlling one's emotions in respect to gambling what I do is I don't place too much of a high risks bet and I go on with what I can afford to lose and when it's getting complicated I give a stop to it and thus it has helped me stay away from losses and addictions.

Those that are having hard time in adding limits, they need to learn that. And those who have learned it, they're the ones that have experienced it before.

That's why I think that experiences of losses will give us more lessons and going to make us better than the others.

These emotions are normal but we also need to do something about it so limits are the first thing to do.

Agree with that, it's the very first thing that's needed in order to make sure that you'll not going to over spend your money and your time while engaging to this venue, either you are aiming to entertain yourself or you are looking for some luck to win decently, there's should always a good limitation that you need to set up.

Emotional control begins with your own discipline, if you can quit your way each time you are reaching your limits then you are in a good stand working with emotional control and let you enjoy whatever your desire when participating to this gambling activities.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Because if not, it's going not to make sense anymore why they gamble without limits, they're putting themselves at the bad situation if they are always emotional.

Well, when things get emotional, they're not that good when it comes to money , When it comes to money, we have to be very decisive and sure , we can't fail So, emotions must be separated somehow, because otherwise, we'll lose money , On very few occasions, money can be multiplied, but it's not a sure thing, It's better not to invent anything.

[Numeral]

If thoughts of self-control are constantly flying out of your head during the game, you can make a big note to yourself. For example, draw something large and bright on a piece of paper, it can be the word “Stop” or some symbol that will immediately remind you of control. And while you are playing, this note should always be in your focus. Accordingly, if your brain learns to react to the note in time, then there will not be any serious problems with the game and you will not have to over-emote. That's the idea.

Disciplining ourselves should always be carried out by gamblers. Because if not, we'd always be emotional in all of our bets even in the slightest amounts.

Because if not, it's going not to make sense anymore why they gamble without limits, they're putting themselves at the bad situation if they are always emotional.

We're already losing money but we're going to lose more if we are not careful of what we feel.

The thought of it that money can easily be multiplied through gambling is another trap of our minds.

Quite an effective solution, that can be neglected by an inattentive player. Different players have various reactions to losses, and they're people who don't get moved by what is written on the wall. Their concern is mainly to get whatever has been taken from them by the casino. Other alternatives could be a voice reminder that could be set on phone to tell the player reasons to stop the session. Maybe few minutes or hours into the game, the alarm, inform of a voice rings and says things like 'you'd lose more if you continue playing'.

One thing that I can think of is just to deposit that you can afford to lose. So it is easy for you to manage the emotions because you know that amount can be totally wiped out after your game. Because once you deposit a loaned money, you will surely, be agitated throughout of your game.
Each player has their own approach on how to remind them when to stop. But if you don't want to be bothered by such kind of reminder, then, depositing the amount that you can lose is one way to do it. Once it is busted, it means, you need to stop. Call it a day! Quite simple and very straightforward!

It's all a psychological game and you can stay trapped if you don't control yourself.

Of course, I can agree with you, but there is always one "but". Not everything is so clear. Yes, a person understands and can set himself up for a loss in advance, but we are not robots without feelings and emotions. This is what makes us make mistakes quite often. You want to do so that you can return the money you have already lost. This is where the player gets into a trap, from which it is difficult to get out under the influence of excitement and some experiences. This is my personal experience in this matter. I realized that this was possible, but still could not fully control myself. It is not that simple.

Some people don't realize that the possibility of winning a huge amount of money in gambling means that the gambler was lucky to bet at the right time, and also staked with a big amount. The chance of winning is slim compare to the chance of losing but there are some gamblers that risk a huge amount and if they luckily use big amount and also hit a big multiplayer they win big but that's also how much they must have lost. One has to be knowledgeable about all of these first to know how to control themselves.
