Excitement in gambling and How to Control Yourself ?

[rachael9385]

This is why i always recommend creating a monthly budget that you dont go over.

It's a great idea , some people like to organize their budgets on a monthly basis and it works out well for them, each one of us has a special way of putting our funds so that we can be efficient in our expenses, something that is unforgivable is not paying services , taxes , because they simply cut off services and at this point being left without service is something very bad, for that reason allocating money to gambling for me is the last thing I consider since sometimes there is no money left for it.

Do you think that planning out a budget can be a contributing factor to gambling addiction, even though this has some positive sides I think that setting out a bankroll can affect some gamblers negatively. It puts them in that state of gambling because they carefully make plans to gamble with an allocated amount for it. Although this isn't the case for everyone, having a bankroll can also curtail gambling addiction

Every gambler must learn how to have a control over their gambling habits, you don't have to let emotions or excitements to determine your actions. To achieve self control in gambling you need to have a responsible strategy and be disciplined to stick with it. I once read a book titled '7 habits of highly effective people' and the author emphasized that to be effective you need to be proactive instead of being reactive. Gamblers who let excitement to influence their decisions are reactive people while those that have a plan on how to react are proactive people. Have a budget for your gambling bankroll and stick to it, additionally it's best to let the amount be what you can afford to loose.

One only feels excitement when you win and not lost, can you be happy when you lose, therefore over excitement can also be dangerous if not controlled properly when you win, any wise gambler will prefer to stop gambling immediately after he wins because most times you are carried away with your wins, and you think you can make more wins and you start gambling more with the joy for more wins, but ends up losing all you have won, therefore go home with your money and investment well for your future because gambling still continues, therefore don't allow your emotions to control you.

when we make any loss we want to recover the loss plus make profit as soon as possible as a result we place big and big bet and if we still loss then more bigger bet in this way we just increases our loss nothing else.

This is the main problem, especially since we think that the losses we have made in the past may come back in our last bet, we bet a large amount with excessive confidence, in which case the bet is lost. If we get excited and get out of control, then the more we bet, the more likely we are to lose. In this way, when the excitement builds up, when the budget runs out, we borrow from others or take out a loan with interest to bet. This is how a gambler loses everything and goes bankrupt. Bankruptcy is basically caused by not controlling the excitement.

You guessed it right. He is in fact single and may be that's why he is able to handle so many things so well.
He is about to get married soon though and it might get challenging for him to diversify his time to his current activities.
Well, that is something I will find out with time but yeah, the takeaway is that a good self control can elevate our focus and growth to the next level.

While he is single he can do and undo, if he is about to get married then hopefully his fiancée is like him or at least accepts him as he is, when someone has so much maturity in terms of control of things he is a very advanced person, he can do anything he sets his mind to, the most difficult thing is to control himself when there is money at stake because normally things with money increase adrenaline and the capacity to do things without control increases.

As far as I know, his is a lucky person to get a fiancee that accepts him as he is and supports him in his hustles.
That's what we all wish for and as far as gambling is considered since he gambles within his limits I believe he is good to go.
Not sure if his fiancee really knows about his gambling habits but I guess he will able to handle that well.

The question here is how do you relieve your excitement? Do you continue to play or do you stop there? The particular habit I observe in gamblers, professional or amateur, is that they are concerned about winning but do not feel the need to relieve their excitement. They are prepared to lose money and in the same way, they avoid limitations in order to earn money from gambling.

I feel excitement every time when I lose or keep winning. Do you also feel excitement when you win or when you lose?

It's just like it's for you, just like it's for us, especially if you lose at gambling, you're worried about being depressed, just like it's for me, I'm worried about being depressed. The opposite happens in the case of winning, especially when you are excited with joy inside. In both cases, depression or anxiety or excitement can bring negative results. If you get too excited, then if you do not control yourself and bet more than once, then in that case you may get the opposite negative results. Whether you win or lose, don't let yourself get excited, but learn to manage the situation by controlling it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes you are right if we become addicted then maybe it will be very bad for us. Because if a person gets addicted to something then that person will do that thing every day. Whether it is bad or good for him if he gets addicted then he will do it every day. If you are not addicted to gambling but if you take it as a fun then it will be good for you. Because you will not be so addicted to gambling you will gain a lot of experience over time. You will not spend so much money before education. If you get addicted to gambling then you will gamble every day and if you lose then you will gamble more aggressively and then there will be a lot of pressure on your head and you will keep making one wrong decision after another

Gambling every day is not a very healthy thing, what we should do is control our gambling activity if we see that we are doing it every day, because it is something that will affect us in many ways, if you are having this scenario it is better to do other activities that take away time from gambling in a Casino, sports, social outings, whatever it takes to take time away from dedicating yourself to the casino , it is a good measure so that things do not get worse.

Personally, I certainly feel nervous both when winning and when losing. However, this nervousness is natural: it is an indicator that something unusual is happening to us - exciting and dangerous. But even exciting things are dangerous, because, for example, we can lose even a loss. And then the nervousness will be replaced by disappointment.
And disappointment is another important emotion that makes us pay attention to the accomplished fact and try to gain experience from it. And indeed, as soon as we gain experience from our mistakes, we ourselves become calmer in our souls. And here we come to the question - is it necessary to control nervousness? Gambling can be potentially destructive and it must be fought primarily with risk management mechanisms, and nervousness is our life preserver, it is an indicator that something is wrong with us.

Emotions have often been advised against as not good for making decisions in gambling, excitement is one of these emotions that although is a positive feeling needs to be put and kept under control. Excitement can lead to irrational decisions made, decisions that will ends the excitement. When a gambler wins, they need to quickly be able to move on from the victory and not allow the excitement from the victory cloud their judgment for the next decision they have to make in gambling, also with when they lose, they have to quickly be able to shake that feeling if not it will cost them.

There is nothing wrong being excited in gambling,  but one have to be conscious with how they get excited and never let it to control their decision I'm gambling. If you don't really understand what gambling is excitement can make you feel winning is just as easy because of how you just managed to win gambling. Excitement can make you to want to try again and trying again can make one to lose all they have .as a gambler as you get excited about your gambling remember to use it wisely and never allow the excitement to lead you what to do because excitement can be seen as a trap too.

To be honest, I don’t get much excitement when gambling. I guess I’m just not a very gambling person.

I had a period when I was very gambling and played roulette in a physical offline casino. Because of this, I developed a gambling addiction. And then, after some time, I managed to get rid of it. This whole story most likely led to me acquiring a certain immunity to gambling addiction.

After all, there are many sorrows and joys in life that give very strong emotions. Therefore, in my opinion, you shouldn’t worry too much when gambling. Losing money is not that scary (compared to losing your health or life). For me, gambling is more like a simulator on which you can pump up certain personal qualities. And when we train, we very rarely worry and experience any strong emotions.

Or maybe I’m just a very conservative and cautious person, and accordingly I don’t gamble with amounts of money that are too significant for me.

That's the problem in it, once the excitement takeover, the risk of pushing for more will generate an adrenaline that most of the time you can't control, if you push and follow that desire, it ends up losing if luck is not with you, though there's luck who can back you up and allow you to win, but in most cases, luck may not show up and let you lose your initial deposit.

Totally depends on what kind of partner you do have on which someone will be that accepting on who you are from the things that you've been dealing or engaging with, but most of the time our partners specially women doesnt really like into those mens who are that involving with gambling as if they are already making up some assumptions that they would that become broke later. Well, its not something that you can blame them on which considering on how many life wreck real life situations happened because of gambling addiction then it would be just that normal that the entire community would be having that negative approach and impressions towards gambling and even making up a conclusion that once a certain person is dealing up with gambling then it do automatically be considered as a gambling addict. lol. In regarding about excitement in gambling then this is something which is that the most important thing of all when dealing up with gambling is on having that fun and entertainment and not that something that would be going about on having that messed up life because of it. The key on here is that you should be that only spending into the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever tend to go beyond your limits if you do want a life on having no problems when it comes to finances. This is where people do mostly that ending up on having some challenges in life just because they do let addiction do overcome them. There's no issue when it comes to gambling, the only main issue on here is on how you would be that dealing with it and on how you would be spending into it. If you do have that self control and moderation then there would be no problems but if you would be doing the other way around then this is where issues will be trying out to make a mess into your life and would be having that regrets and wished that you shouldnt gamble in the first place.

I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with being excited. Excitement should be used properly because you cannot easily change your mental habits. If you have a habit of getting excited about small things, then you have to decide what you should and should not do in that situation. One of the bad aspects of excitement is that it tempts you to gamble more because when you lose at gambling, the excitement mentally makes you greedy for more money and by continuing to gamble, you keep losing more.
I think using excitement wisely can reduce your losses to a great extent because controlling yourself can reduce bad excitement.

Strange, I expect an amateur gambler to have these issues, and not a professional gambler. Professional gamblers should have had the necessary experience to be calm while winning or losing. It is the newbies who often let it loose, or those gamblers who are just gambling actively, but with no purpose.

I feel excitement every time when I lose or keep winning. Do you also feel excitement when you win or when you lose?

Excitement while losing? Loss is negative, so this is strange unless you are gambling for fun, or using a very small amount of money to wager. However, since I carefully plan and manage my gambling and emotions, I'm slightly happy while winning, but neutral while losing.

It puts them in that state of gambling because they carefully make plans to gamble with an allocated amount for it. Although this isn't the case for everyone, having a bankroll can also curtail gambling addiction

Even though there may be some things that can be a negative effect, but precisely with the budget that we set from the beginning it can be more able to minimize our gambling with a note that we are disciplined to carry out this.

I always apply this where I always set a nominal for my gambling if it has reached the specified limit then no matter what I will stop if it has run out. So in the end this has become a reminder from the start for yourself to be able to manage existing finances while gambling.

This can be an alternative to minimize us so that in the end we are more awake to control the gambling activities carried out but once again this will be effective if we are disciplined to ourselves and force ourselves to remain in good control. If we are not disciplined with what we have planned from the beginning then in the end, no matter how the strategy to minimize gambling is useless because this goes back to the gambler himself.

If you initially treat gambling as entertainment, and not as a way to make money, then the probability that you will leave much more money in the game than you expected is less. And when we start playing for money, building complex strategies for winning  of course, this can work, but then there is a high probability in case of loss to try to win back everything invested, and then the stakes begin to rise, which can lead to even greater losses. A fixed amount for the game and a more relaxed attitude is the secret of self-control.

Every gambler must learn how to have a control over their gambling habits, you don't have to let emotions or excitements to determine your actions. To achieve self control in gambling you need to have a responsible strategy and be disciplined to stick with it.

One only feels excitement when you win and not lost, can you be happy when you lose, therefore over excitement can also be dangerous if not controlled properly when you win, any wise gambler will prefer to stop gambling immediately after he wins because most times you are carried away with your wins

this is where the issue comes from because at every outcome of the game, the tendency to go back again always comes with a strong force which always gets a gambler all glued in and makes it seems impossible to opt out. when you win, it is as though you should just try it one more time since since you are likely on your winning mode. when you lose, it seems you should try to recover your loss which are all emotional reactions that still compels you to gamble even the more.

even though you treat gambling as mere entertainment, these emotion also affect you because as long as money is involved, your perception about gambling does not matter all that much. it is just the emotional maturity to be strong enough to opt out that keeps one on his toes such that you are able to control yourself when the excitement of gambling more comes even though you are winning.

I am also of the opinion that after a gambler has won a more or less good win in an online casino, he should take the money and go take a break, because further continuation of the game, especially on this deposit, will only zero it out.
Perhaps this can be avoided by having a financial goal that he would like to buy and will not continue to play, because he will happily go buy it. The main thing is not to convince himself that if he continues to play, he will win even more money and buy a Lamborghini, because the chance of this is critically small.

It is true that the secret of self control helps gamblers to control their emotions a lot. Through this, you can avoid excitement because when excessive losses surround you, self-control is considered more important. You should give more priority to entertainment than to making money from gambling because when your mentality is tempted to make money, every moment of losing will make you excited.

Even if you win in the game, excitement can be created, but you should use that excitement positively. The joy of winning and the resulting excitement can motivate you to play more, but you should deal with those risky moments through self control.

When a gambler is playing for the sake of profit making forcefully, it becomes very easy to get addicted too because the person wants to make profit by every means and they can even lose self control on the process and like you said, trying to win back what has been lost is also another factor that will contribute to the addition. Another thing that builds self control is not being too bent on profit making.

Nervous when you hit jackpot or lose? It is completely usual, and part of the brain chemistry that lights up the good feeling and stress, and that somatic cue, like that in the Iowa Gambling task, that taps on our shoulder to notice the risk before the real shit hits. However letting the nervousness to take charge? Nah man. Serious risk management is to own that jittery energy and use it to wager smartly, and not go crazy. Recognize these emotions and do not let them own your tourney, balance that bit of whisper with planning & you are golden.
