If you came to get some adrenaline and have a good time with your friends, then it will be impossible to do without alcohol. It's just that you should initially understand that you will lose your money at the casino and you should consider this loss as a payment for the pleasure, including alcohol, if it is free at the casino.

Good time with your friends is not "impossible". It's just a preference for many people and one of the easiest / fastest way to relax.

Ton of people are partying without drugs or alcohol, have no hangover next day so they can actually have good time that day as well.

As alcohol lowers self control and judgement skill, casinos literally profit from giving it to people. Not that people would win more without it, they just gamble more (read lose more) when drunk.

While gambling, you must follow this thing: money control. It is definitely possible to control your emotions through money control. If you bet on a weak team while gambling to win more money, then you will definitely lose that bet. You can never be greedy while gambling. Whenever you are greedy, you will get yourself into more problems, so you must use strategies in gambling. Money control and controlling your greed are the most important things.

Yes, I agree with that, controlling money controls everything, but in sports betting it's better to know that if you bet on a team you should wait until the end. I don't agree with bets that can be changed during game intervals for me, that creates a lot of uncertainty for a player.

For me emotional control starts before the bet, not during it, i only gamble with money I already consider spent, so the outcome doesn’t mess with my head too much, i also set a hard stop loss for the session and once it’s hit I walk away no matter what.

Emotional control is a personal decision, which we have to acquire the competence needed to maintain having control over our emotions when it comes to gambling, but if we see this as a challenge to maintain being ahead over it control, then we may try to sought out for more attention regarding that aspect and get it done, we could require the assistance of a therapist if we could afford one, we can decide any further means to discipline ourselves in other to avoid being moved by emotion while gambling.

I agree with you the addiction of emotion must be a personal decision, which is very person to person and also it can be controlled by the self way. When I become emotional in anyway for anything bad I try to be addicted on another thing for eg: socked by my wife turns into cigarette or something like that.

This is how it is equally important for everyone to come into gambling with an accepting mindset from the beginning. If you can play here with caution at first, then you are less likely to lose control after a loss, setting a budget in advance and limiting yourself within it, then there will be no problem, and this is why being able to control yourself rather than winning or losing in gambling is the real victory.

One of the most effective ways to practice self-control in gambling in my opinion is to gamble responsibly, in the sense that we only bet with the amount that we are really ready to lose.

Basically to get anything done we must first identify what the triggers are and when it comes to emotions in gambling it is usually due to the difficulty of accepting defeat and this is the reason why I say that the best way to control emotions is to gamble responsibly.

In most cases, the reason of irresponsible gambling practices is due to uncontrolled emotion, since it can change up the direction of your mindset you needed to practice discipline and like what you said identifying what's triggering that situation will helps you a lot to become more responsible, it's good to begin with using spare money and always have that self-will to have a hard stop when it's needed.

Setting limitation and always practice accepting the outcome will lead you move forward and avoid losing control, it saves you both time and money that you might lose whenever you'll been dominated by your emotions.

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?

This is a common problem for most gamblers in the crypto online casino space. Why? Because they are always focused on making a profit, and they remain overly positive that they’ll win because they rely on luck to pull them out of poverty.

But the best way to handle this is to train yourself to have a fixed amount dedicated only for gambling. I’ve seen our peers mention this many times, but most people still ignore it. If they could just do this, they would surely be able to control their emotions the right way.

It's like venting a frustration or defeat that may occur in gambling on something more positive or better than having to be an emotion because of gambling.

When I'm really emotionally drained and more of a loss in gambling, the punching bag has always been my place to vent those emotions,
and it does work to dampen emotions that could have been bad for gambling or anything else.

And if there is no other forge to vent emotions, screaming from a height in that lonely place makes me more relieved and manages to overflow all emotions.

Yeah, most of the time when emotions triggered even how discipline you are there's still chance that you'll be move of that certain aggressions or also excitement to keep playing, what is good for your gambling activity is for you to understand that moving forward and accepting defeats is part of your gambling, it's a must to have that will to stop to re-assess what's you've done wrong why you failed to practice your set limits and how to prevent from doing it again to avoid losing more than what you allocate for your gambling.

I think that emotional control is exactly about being able to stick to the limits you set from the very beginning, as soon as you start playing. If you allow yourself any exceptions and try to place a bigger bet or something like that, it is already a sign that you are not able to control your emotions in gambling. That is why, for me, this would be a very important sign to stop, and think whether it makes sense to continue spending money on gambling at all.

perfectly said, the most important thing is making sure that you stick to the boundaries that you have set for yourself, that's why discipline is all about. A lot of gamblers set bankroll aside for gambling and when they end up blowing the entire funds they go straight to using the amount of money in their bank account that was not actually allocated for gambling in the first place, this is lack of self control

Many players simply find the gameplay too addictive; they become so immersed that their excitement and excitement reach a fever pitch, leading to behavior that's uncharacteristic. I even remember myself playing and feeling like I wasn't getting enough and not wanting to quit with a loss, so I kept going. It ended up being my biggest loss, and I've always remembered it. Now, I've learned to control my emotions and don't allow myself to break the rules of self-control, because if I show even the slightest weakness, I could kiss my deposit goodbye.

controlling emotions is not as easy as it sounds. It's not something that has some kind of buttons that we can decide to turn off and on at will. It requires a lot of determination, experience and mindset to be able to control our emotions. When it comes to gambling, literally everyone can fall into addiction. What's makes you stand out is your ability as a gambler to know when it's good to stop or keep gambling. So many gambling don't know how to. They gamble regardless of the time all in the name of wanting to make money. One thing I'm very sure of is that every gambler will.have varying approach to controlling emotions but the first step is controlling the amount you are willing to lose..

Gambling is something that is deeply concerned with your emotional control and balance, this is why anyone who is gambling should always have a strong emotional control mechanism within you. This will help to curtain emotional which has to do with gambling decisions which is influenced by emotions. The ability of any gambler to take away his emotions when it comes to gambling and gamble with a clear mind is very important because when ever emotions are brought into gambling rich decisions are taken and it doesn't end up good most times.

As long as one can control one's emotions, gambling cannot do much harm. But when a person goes out of control due to emotions, then he starts to suffer. If one controls emotions in advance in any bet, especially if one bets the amount that one can afford to lose, then there is no problem due to loss. If for some reason a person's emotions are uncontrolled, then he has to lose everything. In gambling, he cannot take proper decisions regarding either the amount or the money. Of course, one should keep a limit for oneself in controlling emotions so that if one loses excessively, one can stay under control.

I have said several time like this that there is no reason to invest the money on gambling which is not ready to lose. Only those money can be used on gambling which the person can afford if the person become losers on the gambling. If the money is an urgent reason, then the person should leave the gambling.

Would be always talking about responsibility and the sense of discipline at the time that you do gambling. It wont be giving out any harm if you are just that responsible towards your actions and you wont be that making yourself that getting delusional when it comes to gambling. one of the most common approach on why people do end up on disaster just because they've been that believing that gambling could make them rich easily without even trying out to realize on whats the real deal with it and the risks involved with it when it comes to finances. There are just that those people who are that too desperate on making money without even thinking on what are the potential risks that they might be able to encounter. Emotional control might sound simple but this is that very crucial when you are dealing up with gambling because this will be that make you make up some decisions on which it will be that worsen up your finances.

The shift from initially adhering to established limits to breaking them is normal, as I believe almost everyone who gambles has established disciplined limits, but that all changes when they gamble. It's clear that exercising one's emotions through gambling is risky, but with other things, like you mentioned, like fishing, it might make sense. But I don't think anyone gambles with the goal of exercising their emotions. That seems very rare, as it's often done for fun or to win.

It is not easy to build a firm mindset of discipline in gambling because gambling isn't just a normal game for entertainment purposes only but it is something that is deeply rooted in emotions and also requires enough of energy and efforts to control. What has made gambling more emotional than just the normal entertainment thing and games played for fun is the financial aspect that is involved in it. Majority of the people especially those who run into one form of addiction or another are those who went into gambling for the purpose of its financial benefits and that is why they end in depression and much losses else anyone who is gambling for the sake of the fun of it will be able to set limits and put certain control measures to it.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Emotional control is difficult thing facing many gambler, it's more easy no when a gambler is lossing that consciousness of lost may deprived him for not taking much action but a gambler who is always at the wining side may always be optimistic to stake higher inorder to win bigger. No matter how one control emotions during gambling as result of management skills towards control of lost their also comes some regret when the luck happens to runs on the gambler side where wining is shown most time the results of small stake when wining occurs can be painful as lossing mostly when small stake is used. In every thing moderation stand to be the best option one should be calculative and always check and balance while engaging.

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

Immediately you are not longer in control of your emotions things would definitely go wrong because discipline is the key to navigating the game. When we start gambling with big amount there's nothing can separate you from losing huge amount that would affect you negatively at the end of the day because gambling has taking over your emotions, so the right way to practice emotional control is by gambling with just small amount that wouldn't affect you negatively after the outcome doesn't end in your side.

I get your point and the idea of finding that source and make sure to have a good control on it will save your butt making mistakes, gambling is a risky activities and you can messed up with your finances once you mistakenly mismanage your deposit, but just like what you said, once you have the control over your emotions and you manage to practice it from time to time, you'll be more in control and have that decency to stop whenever you need to stop and quit the casino to prevent losing more than what you can afford to let go.
