How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[terrific]

I think that we need to gain experience with different bets, different situations with losses and big wins, after which we will not be too interested and it will not cause us too much emotion, and when emotions are at a low level, then we can concentrate on more reasonable and balanced decisions. In addition, some can be helped by various things like watching how others win or lose huge amounts and imagining what would happen to us if we were in his place. Although it may not help some very much.

Experiencing different kind of bets and situations will help us improve to become better gamblers.
And it's not about being a better and winnable gambler but being responsible and how to respond in hard situations that we cannot control ourselves anymore.
Learning from the others is one way but it's true that it might not help us a lot when we're confident we are in control until we're no longer.

The advantage is, having experience can prepare yourself on what to expect if you gamble again. It's not often favor to us hence we must keep in mind that in gambling we can really lose our money, but despite that we still keep coming back to try our luck.

Being aware of this it's not going to be hard to control our emotions if we have discipline. As long as we're playing in moderation and able to stop when already needed, then you can prevent becoming an addicted gambler since you know your limit and not greedy to win. Past experiences can help to accept the situation if we happen to lose again.

That is a given thing with gambling. We have to accept that as a reality that we'll lose money eventually.
But if you're up for it and taking time in learning how to win them back, it'll also have to cost something for it.
And that's what we need to do, play and gamble in moderation and so our budgets wouldn't be cut for something else and an important matter that we have to address instead of gambling.

As a human being man can not control emotions and that's why maximum loss happens and that amount is also bigger than the usual loss amount and for that reason, the loss might not be recoverable even if it may make the loser more and more and it might make him permanent loser.

I agree with you that losses to some level are not recovery, especially when you have it in mind that you want to chase those losses and try to recover them, but in the line where you said our emotions are not controllable, I disagree with you.

It's how you train your mind; that's how it will follow your emotions. It can easily get affected based on game results, but you will determine how that will affect your game decisions from that moment. Some people are easily influenced by their emotions, while some are good at controlling them.

Discipline is the best weapon against emotions, as long as it is accompanied by good and clear risk management with our money, On a personal level, we should always consider that the most common things sometimes turn out to be more complicated. It is clear that emotions are not extremely difficult to control, but there are other things that we should take advantage of to control everything , and that is money together with discipline.

This is similar to what I said before now still on this matter, everyone have their choice for what they want to do with their money. Some people have multiple sources of income and the 10% of their monthly revenge could be $500-$1k, if such people are gambling with such huge amount, no body should judge them or see it as a financial mistake because the person can still get that money back in a short period of time. Some people that can be said to be making financial mistake are those gambling with all their income.

Financial discipline teaches us where to stop and how much time we should spend on gambling. If you are used to gambling with chaotic situations, it will increase your chances of losing more and more. At some point, you may become addicted. I know of gamblers who are involved in their random games and they have started losing real wealth due to addiction. If someone understands his risk management properly, then gambling can be positive for him, for example, if he can identify risky place in gambling, he can be alert in advance and immediately make positive decisions. You said that controlling emotions is not very difficult, it may be the case for some older people, but those who are relatively young and young age cannot control their emotions even if they want to.

If we are not being observant as to how disciplined we have been before time, then gambling and having emotional control as target will remind and teach us on how to be a responsible gambler, only if we pay attention to what its signals to us as we gamble.

Some people are not just gambling blindly, but instead, they have been taking time to see that they are more productive from the way they gamble to how it influences their personal life.

Yes, that is a mentality that must be possessed by a gambler, as you said that from the start we must be ready to lose and that is the reason why it is always recommended to only bet with an amount that you can afford to lose, there are many benefits of that mentality, first it can prevent us from excessive emotions that can lead us to various actions beyond control, second our mental and psychological will remain awake, actually everything is interrelated.

Another thing is really not easy to reach the recovery phase or return something that has been lost, remember that gambling is based on probability (possibility) meaning nothing is certain and there is no guarantee either, and that is the reason why a gambler must always apply limits, not only on the amount of money wagered but also on your expectations of winning, as you said, namely gambling reasonably.

We are making it sound easy to recover but you're actually right.
The phase of recovery isn't as easy as what we say. But the encouragement remains there and if someone is on a verge of losing a lot.
And they're able to read it, that will encourage them to do better and recover with enthusiasm.

Limitation would be always be that crucial or something or a must thing to be done when you do gambling because once you do failed up on doing so then it will be that resulting into that disaster on which later on you will be having that regrets on what you have done. Emotional control is always at your mind i should say because if you've been that that accepting gambling to be a game of luck and fun then at the moment that you do lose then you wont be that become that too impulsive and wont be trying out to chase your loses at the moment it do happen. Too much positivity will be leading into disaster and if you arent that good when it comes to handling your emotions then this will be that resulting into unfortunate conditions or situations on which people should be doing trying out to avoid as much as they could. Gambling isnt bad as long you are that responsible towards your actions and not do easily get hooked up at the time that you do become  temporarily profitable.

Agreed! Discipline, along with smart risk management, creates a strong foundation for success. Emotions can ruin a person's judgment. But if a beautiful discipline is added to emotions, then discipline not only controls emotions but also snatches the desired victory from people. Then we can enjoy our victory with peace of mind.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Some people are not just gambling blindly, but instead, they have been taking time to see that they are more productive from the way they gamble to how it influences their personal life.

Yes, and that is a very good thing. I believe that the best things that are done are based on research and things that have already been previously studied. However, when we talk about games, luck, or the luck factor, is very determining , unless you are only dedicated to sports betting, which also Depends on the person's level of knowledge Well, I assume that making a sports bet should be based on what the person knows about the sport and some specific details that help to win.

In sports betting, luck also plays a very important role. A professional bettor can minimize the role of luck in the results of his activities due to a systematic approach and discipline, but the average bettor who makes several bets a month still depends very much on luck. Therefore, statistics show that most bettors still lose in the long term. In fact, every bettor who is at least somewhat interested in sports has experience, but this does not mean that his experience will help him achieve success. If you consider sports betting as a way to make money, then this is quite a difficult job.

Well, from losing money, this is what I think is a way to train our emotions, regardless of how we respond to it, for people who cannot control their emotions, what might happen is that they will be emotional when they lose the money they bet.

Another thing for people who can control themselves, they will not experience emotions when they lose money, and actually the way to respond to gambling is to be able to accept the reality when we lose money because that is certain to happen.

For disciplined people, this is not difficult, if they also follow certain rules in gambling. But sometimes it happens that disciplined people start gambling just for fun and when it is time to stop, it is difficult for them to do so because they did not plan anything serious for gambling, it was supposed to be just fun. A serious approach to gambling requires the same attitude, and this is possible only if a person is going to make gambling an occupation from which he wants to earn money.

Still, experience allows players to develop thanks to what happened to them in the game, but of course there are few such players, basically many repeat the same mistakes every time. In general, I think that watching streams of how others play allows us to pump up our emotional intelligence. Of course, many streamers can play even for non-real money, but if we imagine ourselves and how we would behave in many such situations with big wins and losses, then we would probably be more emotionally prepared for such situations. Although I am not a fan of streams with gambling, but for me this is probably the only reason why I can watch them.

Actually, to reach the recovery phase can be easy and can also be the opposite, everything really depends on luck, meaning that a gambler can win quite a large amount that is equivalent to the amount of money lost in several previous sessions, but of course that is a very rare situation, the existence of the dealer's advantage always thwarts luck from coming. On the other hand, of course the urge will still be there, especially if they are not responsible, in my opinion getting better is not always about success in achieving recovery, the most important thing is to understand and realize that that is what gambling is like.

When it come to the aspect of discipline, we all know that's its not as easy as it sounds, it more complicated than we can imagine.  Even a non addicted  gambler sometimes go against his disciplinary rule but the only difference between them and other gamblers is the fact that, they always finds their way back to the rules. Though I must confess that it is achievable but you'll  be making a lot of sacrifices like abandoning the pleasure to continue which is formally  known as greed, gamblers who wants to give discipline a try should first of all admit that gamble is a game of luck because not every gambler like to see gamble in that manner, they always want to believe that they'll hit the jackpot soon, whereas there is no certainty that it's possible for them to.

The problem is that, not that many gamblers have discipline, and if they have, they aren't applying it into gambling or they can't control themselves especially when they're losing money.

Proper risk management is the key when it comes to gambling. Setting a specific amount of money that you will be using for gambling, and sticking on it even when you lose your money is one sign that you have discipline, and self control. We've seen gamblers losing significant amounts of money because they don't know when to stop when needed, and they don't care about the risks as long as they're gambling. Self-control, and discipline are the 2 hardest things to achieve when it comes to gambling, but learning how to have them both and apply it on gambling, you're part of the top 1% of gamblers already.

Overall, discipline and self-control is a must have not only when we are gambling, but in everyday lives as well. We must learn how to have both of them.

It's how you train your mind; that's how it will follow your emotions. It can easily get affected based on game results, but you will determine how that will affect your game decisions from that moment. Some people are easily influenced by their emotions, while some are good at controlling them.

Surely some people are good at riding out from certain conditions than the others hence there is no point for anyone to generalize that emotions as not controllable, what we mostly give attention will surely give us directions it takes decision to be disciplined. Sometimes experience can become the best teacher where staying long in the gambling environment can thought us a lot even in the light controlling our emotions since it is a human nature to be emotional. It is a wrong approach to gamble with the mindset of recovery losses.
   

[Shinpako09]

Even after many years of playing, until now I can't control my emotions. In fact, I'm having a harder time controlling it now compared before, like when to stop, especially when on a red streak or after reaching my daily quota of wins. If I reach my daily win amount, there's like an urge to bet one more before I call it quits. If I lose my bankroll for the day, I'm not gonna stop, instead, I'm gonna make a depo again until I recover. So, controlling emotions means you need to have a strong mind so you can discipline yourself. You need to train your mind and that is no simple feat in gambling.
