How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[finaleshot2016]

When gambling for fun, it makes everything much easier for the player, he does not need to worry about following many rules, because he can easily afford to lose what he deposited, because the amount is not large. And in this case, the disappointment from losing will be minimal, or will not have any effect on the player at all. This can be regarded as if you decided to go bowling in the evening, but instead you decide to gamble with this money, then you would have spent this money on entertainment anyway, this approach also takes place.

It's all fun until large amount of money is involved in it. You see people talk about fun in gambling but on the other end, they are using large amount of money to wager, risking too much they can afford to lose. Yesterday, someone paste his whole account to stake Portugal against Spain and gave Portugal win including extra time or penalty and it work for him, you should see what he won but at what cost, risking all you have just because you want to make fortune.

You can imagine how it's going to be later if such person had other game tomorrow and then he thinks that doing such risk again is going to work and in the end it never works, he is not just going to be broke, he is going to feel the wrath of brokeness and make gambling a scam thing mean while you are the one that gamble all your wealth away when you can simply just put what you can afford to lose, gamblers need to do better when it comes to risk.

I think that emotional control can only be controlled by going through this path on your own, gradually over many years. It can be instantaneous, it's like a lifestyle, we should look at the experience of others too, to try to try it on ourselves and what we felt at the same time. In addition, communication with like-minded people helps to look for these keys to success in training emotional intelligence, because one cannot find all those things that will help us. In general, there are many subtleties, you need to collect them and invent a system of training emotions for yourself, over time the result will definitely come, if we are teachable)

Yep, you'll master emotional control if you have a lot of experiences in gambling. Sometimes it's because of yourself you're managing to survive such things and controlling emotions in difficult situations is because of your journey in gambling. It's slow, personal, and full of trial and errors in gambling. Watching others and learning from shared stories can give you insights how to manage things, but IMO, the best way to learn is to feel everything by yourself. Don't get me wrong, taking advice from other people is a good thing too but to become a consistent and disciplined gambler, you need to learn it by yourself.

True when it comes to controlling emotions older and more experienced gamblers control their emotions much better than new gambler's who is just starting to gamble because they know that gambling is just a game that so they don't get their emotions attached to it because with time they have been able to know and learn that gambling is one thing that you can't trust because there's nothing sure about it so attaching your emotions to it is doing your self more harm

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?

The best way that I have been able to control my emotions while gambling is by risking the amount of money I know it won't affect my financial system, I only use the amount I know I can loose without regret. If I have $80k in my account and I loose $5 in gambling it won't affect me as much as it would have affected me if I had used $50k in gambling, so I can say that I control my emotions in gambling by using little amount of money as I only bet for the fun of it and for the love of football. Bet wisely.

Agree. When we have enough experiences, we can be easier to control emotion. It is because we already faced varied situations, we have exercised our mentality well to deal with emotion. Having a lot of experience also means to have more knowledge. This also makes us to be more wise in facing any situation, we won't easily get emotion because we know it never solves the problem. Sure, the more often we gamble, the more lesson we should gain. If we really got the lesson, we must always be careful to do anything in gambling. It includes to keep discipline in using the money for gambling. We must stick with the plan, don't try to gamble with an excessive allocation.

By the way, I agree that the advice from other people sometimes can be quite useful. Other people may advice something that we never realize it. So whenever people advice us, we don't ignore it immediately. Try to understand it, it may be something valuable!!

You practice by learning as you play but thats catch 22 so the only really real way to proceed is some simple limits like a time limit and the idea to not binge playing but split up your experience between days etc.    Also limit budget again to avoid the all in type playing which is harmful to learning anything or progressing.

You can consider that you are still in control if you are just using small amount from your initial deposit, more on entertainment and enjoyment as you can move forward if you lose small amount, unlike if you already lose huge or more than 50% of your balance there's a chance that you'll going to be aggressive and may keep chasing your losses and then lose a lot.

There's always a need considering what will be the outcome as you may lose a lot if you can't control or manage both your money and time while you are in your gambling sessions.

This is not totally true, in gambling there is nothing like older or experience helping anyone to control their emotions, the amount you invested in a game and the total amount you are expecting to win in the gamble sometimes affects your emotions, the only way both new and old gamblers can gamble without putting their emotions at risk is to gambling without expecting anything in return which is also a difficult thing to do. Best way to gamble is to gamble with a little amount this way you will not put your mind and your emotions much when you know that your invested an amount they won't affect you when you lose.

I mostly do advise that emotional control should be what we can afford to get a therapist for if we can't control ourselves to a reasonable extent, because gambling has gone far beyond what we may just conclude to be easy to control, without putting in more efforts, because addiction is what would have been part of a person and to deal with it will require more conscious efforts, this is why some could afford getting therapist in helping through the situation.

Not entirely true, I have noticed this for a long time where in the neighborhood there are 2 types of gamblers, old gamblers who have been doing it for years and there are gamblers from among the young. Here you can see the difference where young people are able to trace the source of gambling in a more sophisticated way and they are able to use it as an opportunity to control their bets. But the old gamblers are still struggling with the old gambling method to this point they even continue to be aggressive and always suffer consecutive defeats.
In today era of gambling, it is no longer a matter of how old or young the gambler is, but rather how they respond to information about gambling tips, whether as a means to chase losses or as a means of entertainment.

[DiMarxist]

If you must be a responsible gambler, then we must control our emotions and in controlling our emotions we have to check greed in our lives and fear, these two factors are very key in the formation of a responsible gambler, because without proper control of these two factors, we may end up losing all our monies to the
 market. Have a gambling pattern, like have your basic or primary support teams and follow them up from their past games, then know when to gamble, don't gamble if you have lost a big amount of money, because that will want to make you bet a revenge bet that might swallow all your money.

Before controlling emotions, one must create a gambling schedule. If one can participate in gambling by setting some rules and resolutions and following them, then a person will definitely not become uncontrollable.

You must select two or three days a month, outside of which you cannot participate in gambling.
A certain percentage of daily income or monthly salary should be allocated. Gambling outside of that budget cannot be participated in.
You cannot participate in gambling out of excessive greed. If you are greedy, you will definitely become uncontrollable.

[Versatile_choice]

Alot of gamblers have been struggling to apply emotional control for long , I was among this set of gamblers who was finding it hard to apply emotional control while gambling that is because i didn't make a proper planning and secondly I was going with the intention of making Money through gamble then I never knew gambling is purely based on luck I thought my strategies is going to work just as planned I tried so hard to win from my strategies but for all to no avail, as a newbie in that system I never knew that I'm supposed to set a limit instead I was gambling continuously with the hope of hitting a jackpot, not until I experienced a big lose that's when I started applying self control, I most say that it really helps.

Well, it is not a bad idea. Gambling is all about playing with money; it is good for a gambler to have limits. A gambler must know when to stop playing, and they should also know the amount of money that should be used in gambling. If a gambler can understand when to stop playing and the amount of money to use, I don't think they will have anything to do with their emotions.
Emotions in gambling are caused when people spend what they didn't budget for, but due to greed and lack of understanding, money is put into gambling and it turns out to be a loss.

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

Gambling is basically a platform where most people become addicted and they have to struggle a lot to get out of it. When a person is addicted to gambling, he has to endure many kinds of mental stress in his life when he loses his money. I think controlling oneself in gambling is a very difficult task which not every person can do and only those who can do it can succeed in gambling. If a person loses money and becomes emotional then he must be patient so that he can control his own mental state. I think if a person is addicted to gambling then the things he has to do to get out of it is to stop only those who can break it can control themselves. If you lose gambling and later get emotional and if you keep gambling again then you must have lost control. That is why to have control you have to stop and bet, you should never gamble with emotion as it will always lead to losing money.

I believe that controlling emotions can become easier for gamblers as you get older. I also believe that experienced gamblers do not use gambling to make money. They value time and handle every adverse situation with patience. New gamblers tend to lose money more than they make money because they are more mentally prepared to make money. Controlling emotions is a practice through which a gambler can reduce his losses and become an experienced gambler.

The responsibility of your wealth is solely yours and the actions taken to maintain and increase it can be learned through patience and regular practice. Effective and timely decisions affect you positively not only in gambling but in every aspect of life.

Perhaps our handling of our emotions is only damaged if we put a large amount into gambling and then in the end we just lost. And the amount we lost is what triggers the emotional
impact where it does not respond well to us.

But if from the beginning we have already limited ourselves in our gambling in terms of the amount of money we put into the casino, for sure we have already been able to control our fund,
in which is also included our having self-discipline as well, so in this part we control our emotions properly.

Well, those who are experienced do know what to do next, and most veteran gamblers have an idea of what will happen next. For example, a big multiplier came up in slots, a veteran will probably cash it all out and take a long rest because they know a losing streak will come next. A new gambler will probably have another idea and that is expecting one more big multiplier to come, thinking they have a lucky day.

This is why we should practice emotional control, and old gamblers have learned this the hard way. A new gambler should learn from them when they share their experience.

If you want to control gambling addiction, which we manually developed, you need to first work on yourself, even with the help of a therapist. If you are not ready to adopt and change, the therapist's guidance will go down into wastage.

What's needed is for you to just stop gambling entirely instead of looking for possible options where you can see how to control your gambling addiction. Maybe after stopping gambling, check yourself out and see if you can stay away for long without gambling. If you must, then you can go back, but this time with someone who can keep your habit in check.

These are very good indications if you want to have control of the game, however, when we see that things are almost the same even following the days and times, the player must make slightly more radical adjustments. The idea of ??all this is that his money lasts and does not go away for anything in the world. For me, controlling everything is controlling the money, I control everything, but the days and times are a very good indication.

The issue is that when you start gambling then it becomes more difficult to consider control and when you meet real gamblers the only thing they want to do is for them because when you start gambling you will first of all focus on money and it is when you start losing good money that you will understand that a lot of people are actually learning and you wont blame them because there is nothing more annoying gambling and not making money and that brings about addiction because the winning now becomes a war. because even you invest you will still need to actually control your emotions so its not just gambling that needs control everything concerning money you will just eventually control your emotion so that things wont go worst.
