How to practice emotional control in gambling?

[Sammye3]

[Humans are creatures of habit, so if our habits change, it will be much easier to maintain control here. Gambling consistently can naturally lead the gambler to a deeper level, and from this depth they can become addicted to it, from which they can lose control. But when we refrain from it after a certain period of time or gambling activity, it will not be able to affect us very deeply, there may be times when control over emotions decreases or suddenly there is a tendency to bet more risky than before, but when we are careful about this from the beginning and have a habit of refraining, it will certainly be less likely to lead to harmful consequences.

Personally for me, I take gambling as a forced habit that excites the brain, and triggers it to keep going even during losses, gives the feeling of hope and redemption only to realize it's beyond gambling now but rather a race for survival, a feeling that never goes away.

It could only get better when one comes to a self realization that gambling is no man's game and it takes luck over every other analysis to win. I always have this saying in my head "controlling the mind is controlling the game", so no matter the outcome do not act rationally or impulsively due to unexpected outcomes.  With this, it makes my heart a bit less dreadful over losses.

It is important to take a break for a few days while gambling regularly. But the habit should be created from the very beginning. Because if you do not create this habit from the beginning, then if you become addicted at some stage, you will not be able to take a break. It is seen that many times you are losing control over your emotions or you are inclined to bet a little more aggressively, then keeping yourself away from gambling for some time can bring your mental state back to its previous state.

The mental rejuvenation you get from taking breaks when situations like this becomes too occurring is not spoken about enough and that is why even at the point of addiction, gamblers will still want to continue just to satisfy their pursuit for recovery that they could get relaxation from just stepping back awhile and taking on another time.

One thing I know for sure is that, all behavioral patterns are learned. Either as a constituent of your environment or what you’ve found yourself to be doing often. It can be unlearned too and that would be done by gradual breaks and replacing some of those habits that are not of much benefits to you with new and better ones.

Should your emotions be a thing of concern while gambling which mostly is, you’ve got to learn control by, making those predications and not have to stake on them. You’ll just watch to see how it turns out. Keep at it for a good number of days and you just might find out just how much you could have lost and have saved with the practice.

That exercise could be the difference between having a controlled emotions or not.

The truth is that if you risk a certain amount that you know you can truly risk you won’t have any problem losing it , you might even laugh it off .

This is the actual meaning of gambling with what you know you can lose since the staked amount is not a big money that could be annoying if the money is lost to a casino when you are going to make profits for yourself. Gambling is not predicted and it should be understandable that whatever amount you are planning to use to gamble can be lost at any time during gambling. Those that are very emotional when gambling should seek for help on how they can be less emotional when they are gambling so their emotional stage will not affect their gambling activities.

It should be that way, use spare and accept the possible outcome whether it ends up with your favor or turned against you, as long as you fill that desire to bet then all good whatever the outcome, it's going to be a problem when emotion take place and lead you to chase your loses, discipline and good anticipation will help a lot in terms of practicing your limitation and follow whatever set up you think that will fit to your playing style.

Denying the result is the worst thing, any result that does not happen as per our expectations, the result is determined by fate, so there is nothing to not accept here because nothing is in our hands. But even then when we expect something very deeply through it, and then if we do not get that thing, then our activities can easily go out of control. But where the whole thing is determined by fate, how can we expect any result for sure? Those who do not understand these simple things, basically expect the result in any matter that depends on fate in such a way that the result is sure, and this mentality leads them to losses.

Discipline is one of the ways we can manage and control our emotions in gambling, it's not everything we feels like doing well have to take, instead, we need to work by our targets and what is best for us to do, because we can't gamble to place ourselves into serious predicament by the actions we take, but managing emotions could safe us the stress in all these, if we can be attentive to our own self.

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.

It is correct that controlling emotion is too hard and almost impossible to handle it and many a people become losers only for their emotions. They can control everything but can't control their emotion as a result they become loser more and more and they can't get back from there.

In my opinion, the course of gambling itself can be said to be training us to control our emotions or ourselves,

To an extent tho,
Because every single activity comes with its own emotions attached to it, and they are of different levels from each other or from gambling,

I am a gambler and I do control my emotions too when gambling but I am also a forex traders as well and I can testify that forex has an emotion of its own, and you have to learn how to control it as well, being able to control your emotions in gambling doesn't mean you can do so in other activities

The best way to be able to control ones emotions during gambling is not act impulsively. People should always set a limit and try as much as they can to stick to this limit because ones they fail to keep to this they find themselves in a situation that they may find it difficult but to act on there emotions. It is hard for people to control there emotions but if they should plans before hand how they will act or handle situations if things didn't go the way they plan by so doing they may not allow themselves to act based on there emotions.

You want to consider the gambling with the Forex but that is not the same. Trading and gambling cant be the same and the controlling o0f gambling and trading on forex is not the same thing which you are considering.

It's just that discipline in gambling is the discipline that everyone trains in themselves all their lives. In general, you can't be disciplined in one thing and be lax in another, so very few people can exercise complete self-control in gambling. after all, to do this, you need to monitor your actions all your life, control yourself, know your weaknesses and be able to see them, as well as eliminate them. and that's why so many gamblers are, in fact, very weak morally and cannot resist the temptation that the vibrant world of online casinos offers them.

In the world of gambling, discipline has to be maintained at all times. Because every moment you have to go through a big risk. Here, the risk of becoming addicted is more harmful than the risk of losing a large amount. Because once you are addicted, it is very difficult to get out of it.

If I was to try an advise somebody, I’d say to set clear limits before you start and stick to them. Only gamble money you can afford to lose.

Take breaks often so emotions don’t build up. Don’t chase losses or gamble to fix a bad mood. Treat wins and losses the same, like part of the game.

If you feel angry or stressed stop and come back another time.

To control emotions, must first accept that anything can happen. If we cannot accept losing, then will never be able to control emotions. The hope of winning excessively basically immerses the gambler in emotions. If we can accept losing as easily as winning, then we will be able to control emotions to a great extent. For this, one should create a fixed fund. He will bet within that amount and will not bet outside it, so even if he loses, he will not suffer much financial loss and will gradually be able to control emotions. He will also never become addicted.

You are right, not accepting losses is the cause of irresponsible gambling, losses is something you must be mentally prepared for as a gambler. Gambling is a 50/50 thing, you can either win or lose but it's funny that a lot of people only focus on making profit and they forget about the possibility of losing. Creating a fixed fund doesn't help to curb irresponsible gambling for everyone, some will exhaust it and spend their savings

Mental incapacity to take defeat is the cause of failure of common sense in the presence of doubtful chances in the betting table. The small concern with profits being made makes many people blind to the fact that behind each decision we are making there is a huge danger that may be hidden. In my opinion, no amount of reserve can be sufficient in case a person cannot master the desire of losing money. We should know that any money management is ruined by devastating emotions, which we cannot survive without inner strength.
