How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[swogerino]

~~

It is easy to say but difficult because though there is no other alternative yet, people want to make something different and also want a different result, and that isthe  only win. There is no other thing a gambler wants but only wants to be a winner at any cost, and the main reason to be addicted and become a loser is such types of emotion, almost there is no way to be the opposite of it.

We cannot force ourselves when we cannot win. Or if they're trying to be forceful with that, they'll only get more losses.

If we have no control over the situation, it's best to just let it go and let the results come without any heavy heart. Disappointments are there but if we cannot win at all.

It's that time to take some rest and we can go back maybe after a day or two.

When luck is not on our side, which is marked by a series of continuous defeats, it is the right time to stop. As you said, it is very appropriate, take time to rest for a few days, it will make emotions more stable when you come back later. A gambler should be ready for disappointment when they bet money, even though it is sometimes difficult to accept. What needs to be remembered is not to let gambling make life stressful, due to spending too much money on gambling.

That is the right approach when you are losing in a consecutive way and there is no better time than that to stop. If you rest for a few days or even a couple of weeks before coming back you have 2 advantages, one is that I am assuming most of us if we stay 2 weeks without gambling we can have a bigger balance to start with and second is that we are not that stressed out because of recent consecutive lost amounts of money and as such chances are high we will be somewhat successful during our first session in our comeback for the simple reason that we are calm now. Even in the event that we lose money we still will accept it much better compared to if we lost consecutive sessions again because we are calm and relaxed from stressful gambling which we may have experienced before, so in the end this is the right thing to do, take a break whenever consecutive losing sessions hit us.

I agree to that, being contented with what you've got and taking advantage if opportunities open to win some from your gambling activities, there's always a good outcome when you know when to stop if it's needed, experienced gamblers understand that it's not usual to win that's why they are able to quit and enjoy, while those who got greedy those gamblers risk everything back as they can't control that desire to win more.

There is no advantage for someone who is greedy in gambling and even wherever we are greed is a big problem that will make someone end up worse. Feeling enough for winning in gambling in any amount will make someone more responsible so that they can set limits to stop in the conditions of victory or defeat obtained in it.

If someone finds it difficult to determine these limits then I am sure they will lose more money in gambling. We know that gambling is not an activity to generate money consistently and if this can be controlled then involvement in gambling will be much more responsible.

Not at all and most of the time it cause a lots of problem both financially and mentally, if you don't know how to control better to stay away from gambling, it's about discipline and your self-will there are many gamblers who thinks that they can quickly earned money if luck permits not knowing that it's not always or is not usual that luck will be at your side.

Having that right sets of mind and having good limitations keeps you aways from making big mistake, stop being greed and just allow the entertainment part be your intentions and not to make an easy generated  money.

That disappointment is also teaching us how to be patient and to control our emotions.

If someone who gambles and yet not ready for disappointments, they'll experience the baddest day ever in gambling soon.

They should be prepared for that because there is no coming back when they ever experience that.

Not really. The usual reaction after the disappointment, when your expectations fails you, it leads to desperation and frustrations. One might end up draining his whole bankroll in just a few betting sessions. Some even think that  after the losing streak, luck will come out of nowhere any minute since that bad losing streak. But, no, It will mostly end up in a bad way.
Most people in gambling who gets disappointed are not really becoming patient and more composed. Most gamblers tend to become frustrated, that's the reality.
The lessons will be learned after a couple of days from the huge loss.

This is inevitable!

When dealing up with gambling and having that kind of mentality that you can be able to make up some constant winning or even thinking that you can become rich with it then it will be that most likely bringing out that huge disappointment on which this causes up that for you to learn. We do know that experience would be the best teacher on which simply means that if you cant be able to experience it out then you wont be able to learn and this is something which is really that typical to happen. This is where you would be needing up to consider first on what are those past real experience of other gamblers so that you are wary on what you are that dealing on with not only on the time that you do experience for yourself. In this case on which usually a certain person would be able to forget to control themselves on which this is the time that it will be causing up that addiction.

When it comes to emotional control then this is something that someone cant be able to do it instantly on which it might take up for several experiences before they would be able to handle it out and some do take up multiple situations first before they would be able to have such learning and realizations. It all matters on a certain individual because if you've been trying out to look up on what gambling is then it will be just that too impossible that you cant be able to determine on what are the imposed risks that you might be able to encounter. So it would be that up to you on how you would be making out adjustments.

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?

Who gamble everyday they are not able to control there emotion. Because they are already addicted on the gambling. and any addicted Gambler will not able to control their emotion. I am not a regular Gambler, I just gamble for fun and I have a specific budget for a creation time.

Once upon a time I was also a addicted Gambler then I lost a lot of money on gambling. But for my best try I have successfully recover myself from gambling addiction. A compulsive gambler is always anxious about gambling. So if any Gambler want to control his emotion then he has to reduce they are gambling activity and must have a specific budget and also a responsible gambler and I always follow this.

True, people should have at least idea of lossing in everything, it's important since it's a part of our character development and growth. We need to learn that we should at least make an effort and have efficient way to do things especially in gambling, if you don't want to lose then be precise and be analytical when it comes to betting. If you want to win, have some discipline and self-control in order to minimize losses. All of those things are in your hands and it's up to you on how you will control your fate. Luck is there and will occur when time comes but majority of the situation, if you can't control what's happening in you, then mistakes can happen.

The problem with many players is that they don't understand that there is a very fine line between how exactly one should react to losses. Some get even more excited about this and want to prove to themselves and others that they can win like other lucky players. This should never be done, because the game turns into a game with your emotions and feelings. In general, it is difficult for me to give advice on this issue, but I know exactly what should not be done because I have gone through this path myself.

Simply put, everyone who experiences defeat will easily learn to control themselves, because they have previous experience. Personally, I believe that everyone has different weaknesses and strengths, therefore everyone will have their own limits that are formed based on that experience. Self control can help increase the chances of winning, it will also help someone focus when analyzing the game. Many people experience continuous losses due to failing to control themselves, although sometimes experienced people also have the potential to act beyond the limit. Luck is preparation to meet opportunity, one thing that must be learned is self control.

There is nothing way better than reducing your expectations when you gamble, you know why? Most of the gamblers that are addicted to gambling have big expectations either as pre rich person or as a person that has high hope on games they play. The first rule of happiness in gambling is to make sure you have almost nothing on your mind, if what you play gives you what you don't expect and looks good accept it and if it doesn't, move on and you will be happy.

The worst thing you can do as a gambler is having plans for money you are yet to win in gambling is very devastating thing to do. I have experience it before and I can tell you it's very bad practice. Like I do have high hope on my games I never even predicted myself, and when I see high potential win, I do think it's going to be a life changing money but guess what, gambling lifestyle doesn't work like that and I reduced my expectations to nothing and I became free even when the money instinct is still there.

[Mindyspace]

I haven't played the game yet, but I think the issue of emotional control makes perfect sense. From what I've seen, keeping a cool head seems to be as important as understanding the game itself. I imagine that without balance, even a good strategy can go down the drain. Maybe the biggest challenge isn't the game itself, but the ability to stick to the plan when the pressure is on. But I was wondering: do you think it's possible to train this kind of control or is it something that comes more with experience?

[LUCKMCFLY]

That time really comes when it's hard to become at control and pressure can't be out of the picture.

The anger management becomes part of it when we see ourselves not able to do so.

If you're trying your best at that level, soon that you'll also be proud of yourself because you're able to do so.

You're right, and you'll get a profit that works for any activity involving money, such as casino betting, sports betting, and also trading. In fact, this technique is very Applicable to trading, because in trading, sometimes you try to lose control , and it turns into losses.

Indeed, that kind of thinking brings them to much deeper engagement to gambling unable to control situation made them mistake in taking tough decisions, emotions once dominated inside a person's mind the outcome mostly negative though in some chances if luck really permits then it can come out with decent money.

But not all can manage to do that, emotional control is the tough one to beat as it's you against yourself when you are in sessions.

That disappointment is also teaching us how to be patient and to control our emotions.

If someone who gambles and yet not ready for disappointments, they'll experience the baddest day ever in gambling soon.

They should be prepared for that because there is no coming back when they ever experience that.

Disappointment establishes the realization of wrong fact about gambling, I believe a lot of gamblers has seen other people who hasn't been long on gambling but are already looking up to the huge money gambling had for them in the future but with several disappointment it will differently make the gamblers realized that they have wrongly been misleading themselves with hope of future wining that might not be won, so that's what disappointment does for people like that so that they would leave assumptions and face the reality of things, disappointment is a fact in gambling that everybody must see.

Many people experience continuous losses due to failing to control themselves, although sometimes experienced people also have the potential to act beyond the limit. Luck is preparation to meet opportunity, one thing that must be learned is self control.

Constant losses can also be the result of poor analysis. For example if a person is able to control themselves well but makes bad match analyses and poor betting choices then self control will not help them in any way. You need to be a good analyst and you need to have a good win rate so that losses are a rare thing. That is why success in gambling is a complex approach. We analyze well we control ourselves we manage our budget we manage our bets and that is probably what emotional control really is.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The most important thing in gambling is to stop at the right time, but most people do not know when to stop. A gambler makes a profit by gambling, but there is no guarantee that he will win later, and those who can take a break and start again at that time will have a higher chance of success.

I completely agree with what you say, but if there is a way to stop, and that is if our money says so, if we have money willing to lose, then that is where we will have the limit , there we must stop, for me that is what works, but for the rest everyone applies what they can and want, I recommend what works for me and because I have experience applying it.

Reduce your expectation and stick into the general idea on what gambling is all about. This isnt just that something that could make you rich instantly or lets say that will be making you profits on constant manner.
You will definitely be having that disappointment or violent reactions at the time that you hadnt been able to meet up your expectations towards it. This is where most people do end up themselves on having that very huge problem when it comes to gambling addiction potential. On the time that you do gamble then make it sure that you are checking out yourself that well when it comes to mindset and emotional aspect. Always put up into your mind that you are just that playing for the sake of fun and entertainment and not just that trying out to milk out the casino or the house because we do know that house do always win at the end. Speaking about sports betting and card games or something that strategic then there's chance for you to be able to sustain but of course acquiring up such skills wouldnt be taking up a short time plus as we do know that luck factor will be always the determining thing when it comes to this manner on which you should be that careful on trying out to deal up with it if you dont want nor like for things to get messy in the end.
Play for fun and dont chase up your loses and having that limitation when it comes to spending then you would be just that fine and there would be no potential problems on which you can be able to face on. There are just that those moments that we do end up on having those kind of actions which causes up some mistake but as we do go ahead and made out realization then we do eventually adjust accordingly and avoid ourselves into further problems. There are just that those moments that we cant be able to resist just because of that disappointment just because you've been expecting into something.

some persons doesn't have limit on gambling weather they have money or not, anyone who wants to become a successful gamblers the person is supposed to gamble with a limitation, I do use myself as a example,anytime I lose much on gambling I do make a stop and rest for two weeks after my break on gambling, I will start again by then I have realised my mistake for the previous one I gambled, so anyone who take a break in the gambling and start always have the opportunity for not losing much.

controlling emotions is not an easy task when people give too much importance to gambling, especially if people start gambling to make profits, they start taking the game much more seriously than normal and the tendency is that every time they lose, they get angrier and chase losses, this cycle leads to destruction, in this interesting article for example

https://gamblershelp.com.au/lets-talk-gambling/how-to-regulate-your-emotions-in-4-easy-steps/

talks about how to approach the different emotions that people have been going through when they are gambling, but in my opinion it is very important that before a person starts gambling they are aware that gambling is a form of entertainment and if they are not having fun, then they should immediately stop playing.
