Winning at gambling is more about discipline than emotions.

[Agbe]

When you win, you don’t celebrate.

Op are you foe real? Do you know the kind of joy comes with winning a game? Probably we have loss many games and win one bet that the money is bigger than the money we have lost and you are saying we should not jubilate and behave has normal beings like nothing happened? Aha. This one touched me well. At least we have to celebrate first before controlling the emotions to calm down ourselves. And think of the next step to take.

A discipline gambler is a responsible gambler and there is a possibility that he can do well in the industry. Because he can control many things. He shouldn't be always sure that the strong teams will win, that is where controlling of the emotion comes. Some gamblers once they bet for Arsenal, they would conclude that Arsenal would win and once Arsenal lose the game, they might even collapse.

For sure controling your emotions and staying focus on your strategy or your plan, having the dicipline is going to be important on gambling and it is probably going to be a big help when it comes to winning even though most of it is just going to be about luck, you dont want your emotions to be your main thing when it comes to decision making since that is mostly where you are going to make a lot of mistakes, when you let your emotions do the decision most of the time you are going to make the wrong one.

I mean, it's not really like you don't need to celebrate or something, we all have different views when it comes to gambling, to some it might be a business, an entertainment, for fun, or a source of income, etc. Personally I do not agree to it since when it comes to probability, it is still going mostly on luck so probably a huge percentage is still going to depend on luck, even though you have everything right, so for me having fun and entertainment is not going to be a bad thing, compared when you just treat gambling as a business it could not really end well since the same thing you cannot really profit everytime on it even though you gave capital to it, it is still gambling so you might just be disappointed in the end. For me, the best approach is to focus on winning, strategy, of course, don't let your emotions be a discipline, etc., but at the same time enjoy and know that gambling is just for fun, you might win but lose as well sometimes.

To really win long term, discipline is just as important, and that means controlling emotions. When you win, you don’t celebrate. When you lose, you don’t tilt. A win should feel normal, like nothing special happened, you just stick to the plan and move on.

What you're talking about is your ability to control your emotions after you've won and not a consideration of the strategies you put into place when you're making your prediction or so. Both are completely different things.

While you're yet to make your stake, what you do is analysis and little bit of emotional whatever is actually necessary at the point. The only time we can actually talk about your emotions is when you're betting against a favourite team and you're in-between actually choosing that they will loose or alternatively facing the reality that because they are playing a tougher team, that they will actually loose. Once you're able to deal with your emotions in that regard, then the only discipline your really need is the post gambling discipline which helps you never to become addicted.

This totally depends on the maturity of the individual that wins or losses the game. There are individuals that are capable of handling some certain situations and come out very strong without anyone noticing it and without anyform.of assistance.  On the other hand there are those that goes through lesser situations as that and would really be broken down.  People would hear about it and even empathise with him. These illustrations only explains how different individuals handles thing's. There are people who would act all normal and fine if such things happens. Such people are unpredictable and that how life should be. Because the next person doesn't know your next move or what's happening in your life. Showing excitement during your wins and beeing moody during your down moments would attract unnecessary attention to you that you donot need.

Emotional control is even more important than analysis to me. Lack of discipline is the main cause of the problems some gamblers face. You can get analysis from different sources these days. With the assistance of prediction channels in social media and other platforms onw can easily get access to comprehensive analysis. But emotionally control must be developed. Seeing gambling as business and not entertainment is another area of discussion. I try to see gambling as entertainment but I also expect profits.

[hedgeh0g]

Of course, discipline is crucial, but in gambling, all those images, sounds, and the overall relaxed atmosphere try to convince us we don't need to control ourselves. It's all about relaxation, fun, and the chance to win big. Of course, many people forget about losses. Emotions sometimes simply overwhelm all other factors, and they're difficult to manage. So if they get out of control, they can cause huge problems in the future, especially with our deposits. It's best to prepare for this in advance so that when it happens, you know the course of action to avoid betting uncontrollably.

They both works collectively because if you control your emotions and you weren't able to do sound analysis then you also stand the chances to lose everything you have wagered on, so the best is to have a thorough analysis, then reduces how emotions plays in our roles. Maybe do not care about emotions but what they most focused is how they could win so easily. Emotional controls falls in when you are having a particular target to earn or win in gambling, at this point you began to reason either to increase your wagering amount or to let it be as the initial that is how emotions works.

Thanks for stating the obvious, like any sports or competitive endeavor out there, having a discipline in what you do and your method of attack will always be an edge that you will have and is one of the key factors to you getting a higher chance of winning, there's also the knowledge of the game or sport, the technicalities that would help you in the intricacies of the game. Now how do we apply these to gambling when it's all about the luck of the draw, the odds of the game? Simple, we just think of gambling as the sport and the games that's offered or available as the technicalities, not all the games in a casino will win you so you do the knowledge part; research on what's got the best house edge for you and you play those games, now with discipline, you just need to learn to be logical and controlling of your emotions because that's the mistake that most gambler commit, get too emotional when the situation calls for a level head.

Actually, neither of those things do not actually matter when comes to getting profit from gambling, you know. Are you even aware of how gambling works, though? Are you aware of the laws of chances which govern casinos, bookies and the flow of money in this business?
it does not matter how well you control your own emotions nor how much you manage your bankroll according to your alleged strategy... the edge in favor of the use will eventually push your wallet onto the losing side.

Gambling is not about psychology or control over oneself, it is about mathematics, otherwise people with a very good control over their mind would make a living off casinos and they would probably get banned from getting millions from casinos. Dont you think?

There is no winning strategy when comes to gambling and casino games, it is easier to talk about those things when one is talking about betting on sports.

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand what "controlling emotions" is when it comes to gambling. There is nothing wrong if you get happy, angry, frustrated, tilted, etc... when gambling, what's important is how you act when you feel those emotions. For example, there is nothing wrong with celebrating if you win, what's important is how you celebrate. Having control over your emotions when gambling does not mean you turn yourself into a robot.

Anyway, yes, emotional control matters as much as analysis.

[Mrbluntzy]

Winning in gambling is luck not emotions and not discipline. Being discipline in gambling makes you a responsible gambler who is not reckless, makes you control your bankroll with proper risk management, it makes you stop when you agreed to stop but the possibility of being successful on the long run is by luck and even the possibility to win any time you are gambling is still luck. Discipline helps you stay in control of your actions while gambling. So, what I agree is that " winning at gambling" is more about luck.

[danadc]

When you are winning, you need discipline to manage the amount that is won because if discipline is not there, one would want to continue gambling to win more money. When you are losing, discipline is also needed to control your emotions. Discipline is very important in gambling and is needed at every stage of the process.

Discipline is very good for everything, to be able to see and do the right thing when you're winning and when you're losing, You can lose control when you win a lot and lose a lot because emotions can play for you. If there's a good plan with discipline, you can avoid those things, It's not easy because we can fail, but over time, as we lose money, there will come a moment when we say we need to stop because otherwise we'll lose everything, even our ability to walk, and that's what discipline can help us with.

I think a lot of people focus too much on analysis, odds, and strategies, but forget the emotional side of gambling.

Once emotions take over, decision making usually gets worse. That’s why I see gambling more like a business than entertainment.
Follow the system, control emotions, and stay focused on the long term goal.

Do you agree that emotional control matters as much as analysis?

Emotions and psychology is the most important aspect of gambling people need to learn how to control. knowing how to analyze and make use of strategies to help be in profit is also a good idea but without emotional control it would be difficult to maximize profits and minimise losses. Gamblers that are not disciplined are going to end up losing in the long run, it is not always about experience

I do not agree and sorry, it is everly a bad choice or decision to see gambling as a business, the only business in gambling is building and running/managing your own casino, anything outside of this, you are simply gambling and not doing a business.

There are no long term goals in something you have no power over, where there are no guarantees of any kind, where your winning and making profit is absolutely left to chance and you are absolutely helpless in the sense that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
You analyse maybe, place bets based on your knowledge, what happens on the pitch isnt in your hands, fate decides whether you win or lose, discipline in loses can only lead to more loses.

I am someone who believes that one cannot plan his long or short term success in gambling and treating it as business? It's another red flag that you need to address before it's too late.

But I agree with the discipline part and one need to have self control over their actions and don't let the emotions take over everything but win should feel nothing? The gambling is not for you bruh.

[Mindyspace]

I completely agree. Having a good analysis won't help if emotions take over when the time comes. You win and get carried away, you lose and try to recover impulsively… then the plan goes down the drain.

Those who think long-term end up treating betting more like a business, with discipline and a cool head. In the end, controlling emotions is just as important as knowing how to analyze the numbers.

Surely, emotional control matters a lot because that is what will determine your decision at that material time. When you take gambling as just a normal game even if you lose or win, it gives you that relaxation and freedom of mind but when you become so concerned about winning after making many analyses, it throws you into a state of emotions when the expected result is not achieved. The ability to control one's emotions is what makes you a matured gambler since you are not attached to the outcome of your bets.

Emotion control is applicable to all financial matters. Because the better a person can control his emotions, the better and more effective decisions he can make. Emotions always make a person excited and force him to make quick decisions. Due to which emotional people lose more. These things are even more important in the case of gambling. Because when someone is emotional and uses large amounts of money in gambling, they make larger profits and their emotions start working harder to recover them.

[Mhizlove]

I totally agree because strategy and analysis are very important but without you not been able to control your emotions that will mess you up and that won't make all this things to mean anything, because if you're been drown by your emotions even though you make good plans it will fail.

Regarding gambling like a business and also staying calm about how you win or lose that will make you or help you make decisions that will be of good to you and if you're focusing on long term instead of instant emotions.

I have read so many advice on how to go about my gambling Activities to the extent that I don’t even know which of them to follow anymore.

If you go through previous advice on how to handle gambling and emotions, they stated that we should treat gambling as purely a means of entertainment and now we have another saying we should treat it as a business that way we won’t be too emotional about our wins and loses. But the thing with this approach is that, when you take it as a business you’ll most likely want to chase after loses (from a business perspective) and which is not good

When you are losing, discipline is also needed to control your emotions. Discipline is very important in gambling and is needed at every stage of the process.

Discipline is very good for everything, to be able to see and do the right thing when you're winning and when you're losing, You can lose control when you win a lot and lose a lot because emotions can play for you. If there's a good plan with discipline, you can avoid those things, It's not easy because we can fail, but over time, as we lose money, there will come a moment when we say we need to stop because otherwise we'll lose everything, even our ability to walk, and that's what discipline can help us with.

Yes, this isnt only talking about discipline in gambling but also in other things as well on which you would really be that needing out to consider on taking up such act. If you arent that good on handling things on discipline manner then you are that bound on making up some bad decisions specially if you are dealing up with gambling then once that losing streak hits then your emotions will be the primary thing that would be affected and if you arent that good when it comes to this matter then it will control or consume you and with this then you would be having that kind of possibilities that you might be ending up bad decisions on which it will be leading up into disaster. If you arent that good when it comes to control and moderation then expect on where you would be ending up.

Winning at gambling is just a bonus on which we know that everything will be basing up with luck. If you do heavily believe that  you can outsmart the house or you do believe hardly that you can be able to be a winner then sooner or later you would be able to experience those unfortunate conditions.
