Signs you do while gambling

[NurseHub]

When someone lose or win in gambling, many gamblers try to make various gestures in that situation. But in my case, when I win, I am very happy. I am so emotional at that time that I keep raising my fists without knowing it. I am very happy at that time. However, even if I lose, my gestures change. Especially after losing, I put my hand on my forehead. Sometimes I get angry. I have seen many gamblers who are happy when they win, but when they lose, they look terrible. When talking to others, they cannot speak normally for a while. In the case of gambling, almost everyone shows some common gestures.

Some gestures are natural gestures that almost everyone exhibits, during disappointing times we then to make similar gestures that are like placing hands on our heads, or holding our head with a disappointing face those are what almost everyone does but well for someone like me I don't know what I will do if I loss or win but naturally I will be happy for winning but my gestures are what I haven't taken into notice that much.

When you always double down on your bets..

Even doubling down for 10 times straight, thinking there is no possible way you can loose 10 times in a row.. And this was 5 years ago before bitcoin exploded. Painful but great learning experience.

How about the continuous stomping of our foot? I guess that while sitting in front of our computers, we're doing that.

It has become a mannerism that others are also experiencing. While it's not some symbol or signs but that gesture is also being done.

Although it's not only when we gamble but I think whenever we do other things and when we're so bored while sitting doing nothing.

My sign is a funy one that is making my siblings to know what is happening at the moment because I will not open my mouth to say anything before they will no what am doing at the moment, whenever they see me smiling whenever am gambling is one of the sig they use to notice whether am winning or losing in the gambling, the worst one that is making some people to know what is happening to the gamblers is when the gambler is not happy that is when people or family members will know what is happening and they will not be happy for their relatives to be addicted to gambling.

Every gambler has some common gestures when winning or losing while gambling. After winning while gambling I naturally get very excited and for some time I sit quietly with my hands on my mouth and think whether what I have won is real or imaginary, but when I lose while gambling, I sit in anger and pull my hair and think about various things. It is very important to keep a cool head after winning or losing while gambling. As a result there is a risk of losing extra money, so you can protect yourself and it is wise to keep a cool head no matter what the result is while gambling.

Yesterday, I was playing Tower (yea, same old), was having a bad streak and I found myself doing this crossed fingers gesture (as if I am fed up, and want my luck to change): https://talkimg.com/image/UEqt2T ^{(Image from Evan-Amos | Wikimedia)}

The other time, when I am succesfuly able to recover losses I find myself doing this fist bump: https://talkimg.com/image/UEqFr1 ^{(Image from johnwnguyen | Wikipedia)}

Now, what gestures you do while gambling?

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

Having a bad game is so frustrating and even when you are doing a sign you won't even notice nor take cognizant of the behavioral patterns one shows up when gambling and it's not going in one's favor,there are people that cross 🤞 thier fingers while some shakes their head on bad days, gambling is not for the weak hearted individuals who can't control their emotions when they lost, those kind of gamblers shouldn't gamble as their health is at stake of high blood pressure from losses.


Whether we like it or not every gambler has a specific gesture or postures they often display while gambling, some can be noticed from their postures and body language, I don't have a specific way of showing signs while I'm gambling and I don't over walked myself too anytime I'm on loosing streak, composure while gambling is a good attribute to the individual because it makes the mind calm from worries of the loosing though some signs just comes naturally and before you realize yourself you might have jumped up from the chair or behave in a funny way.

All this are not gestures in my opinion they are just reactions when you get disappointed and when you are happy, celebrating or sorrowing. That's how it is first, gestures that you make are some kind of habit that you have cultivated for a while that you do without your conscious observation for me, not all gamblers have a gesture they make, let us not generalize things we do them doesn't mean others do.

When you always double down on your bets..

Even doubling down for 10 times straight, thinking there is no possible way you can loose 10 times in a row.. And this was 5 years ago before bitcoin exploded. Painful but great learning experience.  

Trying different ways and strategies to see how you could win bet can be surprising and at the same time helpful for any gambler to make profits. This is not really reliable to think that using one pattern will also lead to frequent profit.
Using too much means to win bet can learn to addiction and make a gambler want to bet more so that he can at least recover his money and tried to make extra for his efforts.  There is no guarantee way that money is gonna be coming every time.

Trying out new methods does leave the way to a lucky strike in place, however, the universal correlation of attempting to do anything creates the risk of an unhealthy obsession with finances. To pursue losses will lead us in the same loop of making loss after loss which will be very hard to get out of. This feeling that we never know what the end will bring us should always become part of us so as not to get caught up by ambition. The best way of preserving valuable capital is to use it in a limited way.

Well, I also do cross fingers, not only on one hand, but on both hands especially when I watch some sports games, and it's a very close one that you don't know which team will win until the end of the buzzer. Those are the times where I'm doing it, but that's not the only gesture that I'm doing.

Before I put a bet, I stretch my hands in front of me like what I'm doing when I'm waking up. Sometimes, I stretch my whole body like preparing myself for the day. I do it because that's just me kind of like preparing for the worst thing that could happen which is to lose my money. If I win, I'll just shrug it and say "Okay" with of course a bit of happiness, but if I lose, I'll just stretch my hands to my back, and will just move on from it immediately because I don't like to think that much on my losses or that might put me on a situation where I will try to recover it, and that's the thing that I don't want to do.

I also do it on trading as well so... yeah, and we know that these gestures will not help us win, but at least it will make us more comfortable.

Are those signs or things you practically do which you think will be productive but end up being an ugly experience which you regret now, especially when you check the value of the coins which you have wasted in the past and what it could have been worth now.

I assume its Bitcoin as this reminds me of someone who is still living in regrets because of all his bitcoin used for betting in the past when its value was not this high forgetting that same Bitcoin could have been spent on other things if not gambling.

Many people make all the gestures you are expressing here while gambling. Since I only participate in sports betting, when there is a lot of excitement between two teams in sports, I make the second gesture, and sometimes when there is a lot of excitement between two teams and the result of the match is in my favor, I make a lot of noise and jump a lot when I am with friends. Maybe many people can make a lot of gestures, but it can also be their habit.

When I lose at gambling, I suddenly jump up from my chair and start walking towards the door, as if I want to leave the apartment!
I'm a very hot-tempered and impulsive person, so I express my emotions very violently. I start pacing the room very quickly and shouting out different words.

No matter whether you win or lose gambling directly hit our emotion. Our brain react to this sudden reward or a big winning in such a way that the dopamine hormone is fully boosted. On the one hand it give extreme excitement but on the other hand losing can make you feel very irritable. But for my case, I have noticed shouting in anger or pacing restlessly is counterproductive, it make my head spin even more and increases the chances of making wrong decision. You know when people tilted due to emotion after losing they go to withdraw the lost money and make even bigger and wrong bet

I effectively separate my body's reaction (my animal nature) from my actions (my deeds). 🙋

I may react violently to external stimuli: I may pace rapidly, gesticulate furiously, and even shout, but this doesn't mean I will act recklessly. Specifically, it doesn't mean I will gamble to win back my losses.

I am both an animal and a human. My body is that of an animal (a higher primate). 🐵 Accordingly, I react to external stimuli as a higher primate (that is, I gesticulate furiously, shout, and pace around the room). This is precisely how monkeys react to losses in life. There is nothing shameful about this; it is the body's normal response to external stress. Of course, it is possible to suppress these bodily reactions (and it is recommended to do so in public).  However, if you're gambling on a laptop in your apartment, there's not much point.💁

At the same time, I avoid the operational-tactical thinking style that forces a person to immediately react to external stimuli by taking action. I try to develop a strategic thinking style. When I feel my mood changing under the influence of an external stimulus, I always ask myself: do I really have to take this action or can I avoid it?

Therefore, I never try to win back my gambling losses.☕

How about the continuous stomping of our foot? I guess that while sitting in front of our computers, we're doing that.

It has become a mannerism that others are also experiencing. While it's not some symbol or signs but that gesture is also being done.

Although it's not only when we gamble but I think whenever we do other things and when we're so bored while sitting doing nothing.

People can give a certain gesture when they are gambling and this might be done in an unserious or playful manner just to see if their hand movements or face movements can attract luck to them. I see this kind of behavior as normal lately due to what I have seen people during so they can bring luck to themselves. I don't mostly see this as something to consider seriously unless it involves black magic. I feel gambling should be taken less seriously and if taken too seriously otherwise, it could lead to mental constriction.

I understand you because I'm the same way I'm very expressive when doing anything, I've been told that, not just in gambling but in anything, because when I don't like someone my face gives me away That's just how I am. In poker, I haven't had the opportunity to play against people like they do on pokerstars.net, but I would have to work a lot on that I imagine I'm the same or even more so because I express my emotions that way too.

They say, it's bad for poker when you play in real life, but from my own experience, it's not. In reality, people only think they can read you easily if you are like that, but they read wrongly most of the time. When you are happy with your hand, they think you are bluffing, and when you frustrated with the flop, they think got a great hand. And costs them money too. It's a myth created by TV series and films about casino that you can "read" someone and win because of that.

Gambling is a means of entertainment, and giving it more importance than entertainment means ensuring your own loss. If you make gambling too serious, it becomes a mental stress rather than entertainment, because it is more deeply intertwined with our daily lives. Therefore, these should not be done in any way, keeping gambling within the limits of entertainment, being aware of the rules of the game and budget, and being careful of your gambling activity, these things should be taken care of and be careful. Because although there is a possibility of winning in gambling, the possibility of losing is greater, and this possibility of losing makes us face losses most of the time.

These ideas about “reading” a person have always seemed strange to me too. First of all, if they were effective, they would be used everywhere possible, but in reality, that's not the case. Secondly, it would be a huge self-deception. Any scammer (if we're talking not just about games but about relationships/deals "in general") would first give you false signals to "read" and then deceive you. As we know from theatre/actors and real life, almost any behavior can be imitated.

...I remember reading an article by a psychologist, in which he wrote that expressing your emotions vividly and passionately is very beneficial for mental and physical health.

Meanwhile, some users in thread mentioned doing gestures as mental illness.

Aren't they though? Any mature person will read people and behave accordingly.

But, don't think everybody is that of a good actor, most people can't help but show real emotions on face.

I've always heard that said to me. I'm very expressive, and people tell me that a lot, not just when I'm playing games, but in everything. People notice my face when I don't like something. I don't know to what extent that's good or bad, but that's how it is when I don't like someone My friends know right away because of my face, and I honestly can't control it. I think I'd do much better in the casino in PVP mode.

When someone lose or win in gambling, many gamblers try to make various gestures in that situation. But in my case, when I win, I am very happy. I am so emotional at that time that I keep raising my fists without knowing it. I am very happy at that time. However, even if I lose, my gestures change. Especially after losing, I put my hand on my forehead. Sometimes I get angry. I have seen many gamblers who are happy when they win, but when they lose, they look terrible. When talking to others, they cannot speak normally for a while. In the case of gambling, almost everyone shows some common gestures.

Some gestures are natural gestures that almost everyone exhibits, during disappointing times we then to make similar gestures that are like placing hands on our heads, or holding our head with a disappointing face those are what almost everyone does but well for someone like me I don't know what I will do if I loss or win but naturally I will be happy for winning but my gestures are what I haven't taken into notice that much.

Ahh this gesture is been done every where in fact even in some locality well using my self as an standing example of what you have I think this has had to do many people who are gambler when a game did not smile there way to there heart at that moment they start putting their hands on their head which I have witnessed alot of time, and it only has to people who win and are over joy with what life has bought them and also when there are losing alot and they could just forget and put their hands on their head it something I have done....
