Do you think your emotions already affected before placing bet?

[leonair]

I want to know how people view themselves while gambling, because in gambling before you places any bet your feelings or Do I call it emotion could either influences you increase bet to meet up the certain level of winning you think of having while gambling. Do you think this is what usually make people lose while gambling since they had specific target or amount to arrived at and when they place bet the results is usually on the reverse, at this point they feels disappointed why because already their heart isn't on the fun rather on the fund.

Do you think our emotions is the attribution to our loses while gambling?

The longer you gamble, the more your emotions will work. Emotions work in us even before you start gambling. And that's why we gamble. And our emotions always make us think more about winning but can never accept losing. So the more we lose, the more we try to recover that loss. Even though we may not feel any emotions when we win at gambling, we do get emotionally triggered when we lose. I never blame emotions for losing at gambling. However, I always blame emotions for not stopping gambling despite losing repeatedly.

Kinda agree to this and it's imminent the moment you step or login with that account. I think thinking about winning is the best emotion to have rather than having some negative thoughts in mind before you even gamble, that's something ou really have to eliminate before you even have to bet on anything.

It's harder to regulate emotions to what you really wants, emotions triggers itself even when humans can't control it, and it does affect whatever we think about positively or negatively that's why things happens higher and lower. I will always accept the fact that when projecting your emotions before gambling, it should come from a place confidence and balance of mind to have a better result or outcome in whatever you wants.

That is absolutely correct as it is one thing that is very that difficult to control and work on, although sometimes we can work on it but we can't entirely kill off from us while gambling, because where ever there is finance then emotion is free to play over there because emotion are easily attached with money. Like I know, one could be that willing seeing their money draining and should be happy or rejoicing over what they are losing, of course you would see the bad part of every many when they loses something very precious to them.

The issue is not that emotions are the only reason why we lose, no. Losing in gambling is already a part of thr gambling and the real damage do comes when emotions stops from walking away after we have recorded several losses and are supposed to leave.

Emotions are a part of us just the way losses are involved too. When the both of them meet, you have learn to control one, which is the emotion that is part of us and can be controlled to a large extent. When you are winning and it's giving you joy you can become over excited there by taking some emotional steps that will eat u up.

Yes, I believe emotions are a major contributor to gambling losses, in the sense that emotion strongly influence how you behave after each outcome. Gambling outcomes are largely random, but your emotional reactions are not so when you enter a game with a specific target in mind like 'I must win this amount, so i can recover my loses' automatically your focus quietly shifts from enjoyment to recovery and control and it happens in a way you will never even suspect until you are hooked in.  And at that point your losses will hit harder and the urge to recover the losses will consume your entire being.

You see this emotional urge to win back losses is especially very dangerous because it will keep you playing longer than you planned and betting more than you intended and instead of seeing each bet as an independent event, something you do causally you know, your losses start to feel personal, almost like a challenge that must be answered. it is basically that mindset creates frustration, impatience and you start taking riskier choices. So yes, emotions don’t cause losses per say, but they prolong your losing, turning what could have been a short, controlled session into a spiral driven by disappointment, hope, and the need to feel 'even' again.

Do you think our emotions is the attribution to our loses while gambling?

Most individuals do not approach gambling with a neutral state of mind, but rather with the load of earlier experiences—predominantly losses. If one stops playing simply because they have run out of money, when they return to play with more funds available, the feeling that is elicited is typically no longer the urge to have fun but an urge to "chase what was lost."

This is where the self-image changes. They no not see themselves as a player just enjoying the game anymore but as somebody who "must win." The preconceived goal of winning makes the bets more aggressive, more rash. Unfortunately, gambling does not work according to emotions or expectations. In a state of haste and hope, decisions are not made rationally most of the time, and in the end, they lead to loss.

There is a bug difference between instincts and emotions, instincts comes to you based on experience and most times it can lead you towards the right direction. emotions on the other hand are feelings that aren't needed because they take away your focus and can make you take irrational decisions that can affect you later on. emotional gamblers will always end up losing because they don't make use of logic.

[batang_bitcoin]

When we bet, emotions are gone. That's why whichever result we would come up with depends on how we'd do it. And all of our emotions don't have something to do with our losses but as we place bet, that's when we think if it's the right bets or not. So, your emotions are only factors when you do it. But after that, it's all in the hands of the teams or people you have placed your bet with. It's sort of confusing when you bet and you're still emotional and lost that much. You can also be affected by it with the hype that it has got for that game so, maybe yes.

[nelson4lov]

Imo, emotions usually get attached if

• You're placing a bet on a match that involves your team and you care about them winning a lot. In such instance, you'd likely to biased due to your emotions.
• If placing a bet after a lost bet with the hope of trying to recoup back lost bankroll

The thing with gambling is that it's so easy to get it twisted with emotions. That's why we need to approach each bet objectively.

[DiMarxist]

Emotions play a very important role when it comes to gambling because, gambling decisions are taken out of emotions so the emotional state that an individual is while gambling matters a lot. There are people who are concerned with thinking that they are going to win big so there emotions are always high. You can't take away emotion away from gambling because emotions and gambling goes together. One thing I have come to realize while gambling is the fact that we need to take away our emotions away while gambling and just enjoy ourselves in the process because your emotions doesn't make any difference instead it only makes you vulnerable to gambling influence.

I agree to this. When a gambler just came from losses and he wants to recover, the next bets that he's placing are all emotional ones. And there's a need for them to stop and reflect themselves if it's worth it to do it because not all of the next bets they'd do are going to be as good as it can be. The hope that they're trying to get from the next bets is high but, the expectation that they're trying to have isn't what they're thinking about. So, if it's giving them the kind of emotional bets when they have came from losses, you'd see how they'd react if it end ups with another losses.

It’s unrealistic to expect a human to completely put emotions aside when gambling. IMO gamblers get better at gambling overtime, after so many failures and winnings (if lucky), they start to notice patterns in their gambling habits. They eventually discover more efficient strategies and set emotional targets.

I don't agree with you; our instincts don't just happen based on experience, but they appear in our heads or minds when they want to, and it's left to us to either choose to follow them or use facts in front of us. Our emotions, the way they appear, depend on the happenings around us. If it's a bad day, a bad gambling experience or good things, that's what will trigger the type of emotions we feel.

This happened to me when I lost and didn't want to stop, instead making bet after bet, adding to my deposit, and my thoughts were terrible. I knew I would lose, I convinced myself of it, and of course, I lost more. Besides that, you need to sit down at the gaming table in a great mood and feel confident that you can win, not lose. This is really important, as is believing in what you're doing and a positive outcome. I want to say that you shouldn't bring losses to the table before you even enter the game.

[Royal Cap]

To be honest it is very difficult to separate gambling and emotions, because as humans we think with emotions. When we gamble hope comes into play and the desire to make up for the losses also comes, I think this is where most people make a mistake. They think that if they win this time, everything will be fine but in reality the more emotions increase, the worse the decisions become. If we look at gambling with a completely cold head, we understand that it is basically a game of chance, dependent on luck. Therefore it is not possible to completely eliminate emotions but it is very important to keep them under control, Otherwise gambling gradually turns from fun into a source of stress and damage.

I reckon about sitting down and gambling when you feel confident. Because when you gamble and you're so full of emotions, that can make you out of control and can do such bad things and decisions when you do. And so, don't be too selfish with yourself upon gambling and you're having some bad thoughts in your head because that will surely lead to more losses. If you like yourself to be preserved and want to gamble at peace, aside from being confident and calm, use only the money that you won't mind being wiped out.

It's not difficult, why people are having emotions over gambling is due to lack of planning and also not having target from gambling...

because as humans we think with emotions. When we gamble hope comes into play and the desire to make up for the losses also comes, I think this is where most people make a mistake. They think that if they win this time, everything will be fine but in reality the more emotions increase,

If you have in mind what you will do with gambling money you will in gambling, it will make you to be over interested with gambling...so gamble as means of funs not as means of investment..if you gamble as funs you will not be emotional why gambling, but if you have in mind to win big amount of money with gambling...it's obvious that you will be emotional

the worse the decisions become. If we look at gambling with a completely cold head, we understand that it is basically a game of chance, dependent on luck.

Gambling is a game that's not trust worthy or not something that have to do with assurance, so when gambling you have remove your minds from benefiting always from gambling, it's not guarantee that you will win whenever you gamble...

[Queen uloma]

Most people before they place bet there inner mind gives them information on how the game will end,  whether they will win or loss, most times your emotions speak to you before you even place any bet, when someone is too emotional, frustration comes in and also depression, this is when people chase to win, in the process of chasing to win, you can encounter losses, never you place bet on hope, don't think that one bet can change everything nobody should deceive you, once you've lost countless times withdraw yourself to avoid using all your money to gamble.

Do you think our emotions is the attribution to our loses while gambling?

Gambling is not for the faint hearted individuals and those who bet with high emotions, too much of expectations while placing a bet will make one regret about the outcome because if you put too much expectations on it and you lose at the end it makes you regret the amount you have invested in the game and the time spent on analyzing the games too. Emotions affects the gambler placing the bets not the game, but we shouldn't forget to understand that gambling is all about luck and not our emotions that comes into play.


There's no assurance or sure games in gambling so while placing bets don't put high hopes and expectations on it because one's chances of winning is very slim so it's good to keep our minds neutral from emotions and high hopes of winning and see it as fun because when you do that even though you loose it won't affect you as a person. Though as humans no matter how small the money we used in staking is we will surely be emotional when we lose so it's normal but we shouldn't allow it becloud our senses of reasoning.
