Signs you do while gambling

[mcdouglasx]

I love sports, and the most common gestures I use are the celebratory fist pump, grabbing my head with both hands, and jumping up from my seat. But I don't think I have anything special that sets me apart from other players, since those are just common reflexes. It's really hard to notice those signals because you do them unconsciously, so probably none of us would even notice them if no one around you pointed them out.

Just a sign or refrain from any serious game or activity that is done, I also do it with a lot of the things that I do when it's too serious,
so it's a habit of my own body refraining by clenching my fists when something stressful is going to happen and when it reaches its peak I start swinging my hands and saying yes, that's what I do.

But it will not affect anything, when it is not done it feels like something is lacking and lacking enthusiasm.
But this is just a natural body reflex and indeed not just in gambling.

Gestures to reduce perceived tension do seem reasonable. It seems to be a habit that someone actually does unconsciously in any situation, not just in gambling. I also observe my friends when gambling; some tap the table with their fingers, and some bite their nails. Maybe that's their way of relieving tension during the game, or a way to stay focused.

It's true that some gestures like that are meant to relieve tension, but they can also be demonstrative so that other players can see them as easy targets Studying gestures is imperative for those who play poker. It's very helpful when a gesture tells us how the player is feeling whether they're a winner, a loser, or scared. There's always some kind of information that can be used to our advantage.

I just sigh, a lot and move to other things knowing well that the game is gone and there's nothing I can do about it to change the results but just to wait for another time and try my predictions again and see how it goes. I do have an understanding that these gestures doesn't do anything to the situation and I don't wait to have many losses to have the conviction that it's a sign I have to stop as results ain't going in my favour.

The fact that your subconscious mind has been put to force stop itself whenever you are chasing losses is the most important habit you could get, it distracts you from becoming more vulnerable to gambling addiction and keep you on the pedestal of your gambling life.

This is the the best thing you could do to yourself, stopping when the energy is off, not forcing oneself to stay safe.

When you have being able to convince your subconscious self that nothing would actually change from how bad the results are already becoming  and that it's a waste of time and funds forcing it. As you continue to remind yourself this simple truth, you wouldn't need to be forced to stop because already you have defeated that false hope thoughts that usually override gamblers reasoning that if they could just continue trying and trying them the results would change and give them a recovery for their loss.

I do shake my head sideways from left to right and back showing that I got it wrong. Apart from that I don't make any signs. You were doing that to cross finger gesture to give you hope of winning your next bet. If I have lost three consecutive games, I use to be careful of not falling into the trap of chasing losses.

Shaking head sideways is a normal expression that shows disappointment in a particular thing and a lot of people do this unknowingly. As for me i try to avoid such expressions when I'm gambling even though I'm losing a lot i always keep my composure because I don't want to give others the impression that I'm losing. sometimes it is best not to show that you got it wrong, just accept your losses.

Gestures are a big trick, and they are especially important in poker, I have also seen when a player gets a very good hand, but then he deliberately makes a gesture that makes another player think he has a very bad hand, it confuses the other players, it is basically a deliberate strategy to send the wrong message, which causes the other players to make mistakes most of the time. And this whole thing, especially in poker, every movement, the eyes, these are very important information, but we have to be careful about who is acting and what they are really doing.

Now, what gestures you do while gambling?

Edit: I am very well aware that these signs make no difference in gameplay whatsoever.

I don't do any gesture while gambling, I just I only feel sad or emotional when I am losing, some times I cold and quiet and don't want to be border. And surely crossing finger tips of some kind face gesture doesn't change any fact that what will happen will not happen. I believe those are just some kind of expression that happens naturally when things we don't expect happen. It's just a natural phenomenon.

I've never encountered anything like this before. I understand people performing various magical rituals, but using gestures is something new for me. I don't think it helps. It's just a coincidence, nothing more. I don't really like watching people get caught up in all this mystical stuff. It leads them astray. It's a world of illusions, which can be very dangerous and treacherous. Maybe it's better to stop?
