Winning feels too good. Losing feels too bad. That is the real trap.

[Zadicar]

For the fact that no body will be happy to lose their money into gamble makes it crystal clear that we all want to win our bet, but it's obvious that some gamblers have also accepted the outcome before they even proceed with the bet. Meanwhile some gamblers are greedy to the point that they don't accept their losses and they also chase after their losses immediately they have lost their bet. One truth about gamble is that it is not certain that it can elevate the bettor from being poor to being successful. However, it is normal to feel bad when we lose and to feel good when we win, but let's just gamble with what we can afford to lose so that we don't become so emotional to the point of chasing our losses.

It is true that no one is happy to lose money while gambling, most gamblers want to make quick money through gambling, but the mentality of making quick money through gambling puts us in great danger. It is really difficult to control our emotions through gambling, but gamblers who control their emotions while gambling do not risk losing too much money, can protect themselves and can survive in the gambling for a long time and can enjoy the real fun of gambling. Gambling is mainly for entertainment, gambling to make money is risky.

Doesnt matter whether we are talking about gambling or not, but in general on which losing money is never been giving that good feeling or it doesnt feel good in the sense that money is valuable and something that we do need up to protect and saved. Now on the speaking about gambling then its not actually a trap. It do all matters into your own mentality and on how you would be reacting into it because if you do find that you are too impulsive on dealing up with gambling then its best that you should avoid it on the first place. The trap on here is that it depends on how you treat it on the first place because if you've been playing gambling for the sake of money and not for entertainment then you are putting up yourself into such big trouble. Its always best that you do really need up to consider on how you would be having that moderation and control. Gambling is really just that good for entertainmend and fun and not for money. If you do lose money then you should think that this is the fee or pay for you to have some fun.

Many people treat gambling as entertainment, but even then, if you lose at gambling, you will never celebrate it, because loss is loss, and your money is gone. So, naturally, when we lose, we feel sad, and when we win, we feel very happy; these feelings are common among gamblers. The main problem arises when someone considers entertainment a source of income and wants to get rich overnight through gambling. Gambling involves a lot of uncertainty, but they cannot accept losses and, at the same time, try desperately to recover them, so their losses increase. At one point, they lose everything. If you want to chase losses in gambling, you have to accept more losses that you will never recover.

Our emotions really play a big role in gambling. Whenever we win or lose, it’s up to us on how are we going to handle our emotions and how it’ll affect us the longer we gamble.

I agree that whenever we win, it feels good and there’s this greed in us that wants or thinks we can win more. That joy when winning is what we’re looking. And whenever we lose, it can get frustrating and again, our greed will make us want to win it back. And that’s how we get to have extreme roller coaster of emotion when gambling. It can indeed be a trap to us that makes gambler get addicted. That’s why self discipline and control is really essential for regular gamblers not to get swayed by these emotions over time.

The thought of wanting to win more is the killer of gamblers funds and that is where gamble for responsible and gambling mindful. Those who are careful on gambling knows when to leave the site or games. Once you have gotten 20% to 30% of the game, you have to take break and if possible remove the profits or the capital you deposit before continue when you have rest for some times. But thinking to win more would only empty or drain our gambling funds.

Basically, greed always rears its head when we’re in a position to profit from our bets; it’s that feeling of happiness from a small win that will cause us to lose even more money if we can’t control ourselves. It’s likely that if we’d lost our bet from the start, we would have stopped or more accurately it would have been easier to stop, than when we were making a profit. But it all comes down to us, if we start out with the wrong mindset and intentions, there’s no stopping us until we achieve the big profits we’re after and it often doesn’t end well.

Gambling while emotionally charged can lead us to continue gambling, even forgetting that gambling carries the risk of loss. This is driven by unstable emotions, the desire to win, and the inability to accept defeat. What everyone who gambles certainly feels when they win is joy, as winning is one of the reasons many people gamble. It's a bit odd for someone to gamble but not be happy when they win. Furthermore, when they do win, they tend to hope for something bigger.

Of course, such conflicting feelings caused by the game can be debilitating, and I realized this long ago. I simply never let the game affect me too much, and I achieve this by controlling and limiting my losses per day or week. This is an effective method for me, because I remember when I was an untrained and inexperienced player, simply breaking these rules would drain me emotionally, and then I'd resort to actions like wagering everything I had and then lose. Now, that's not destined to happen.

Setting a loss limit can be a good method. However, if people do not learn from their mistakes and are not careful, then no one will understand the reason for their losses well. The outcome of betting is uncertain and such games often affect a person emotionally. Many experienced and skilled people get stressed. However, the main reason for large losses is if someone hides their small losses and is not careful. Therefore, setting your own limits, being aware of the consequences of breaking the rules helps in self-control and reducing losses. However, these will not guarantee victory in the long run. Therefore, self-control is important to reduce your losses.

I think if you have difficulty controlling your emotions while gambling, that is a sure sign that you are betting too much.  Try lowering your amounts and make sure that win or lose you have a smile on your face.  After all, the name of the game is entertainment and having fun.  If you are gambling and feeling bad, something is wrong.  First try lowering your amounts and if that isn't it, perhaps you should seek a new form of entertainment.

Gamblers knos that losingis certain, and they stiill have the hope of winning so when there's winning whether big or small the gambler will feel good even the winning will motivate them to gamble more and hope to win bigger

But that feeling needs to be contained and don't allow it to control the gambler. If we are always feeling motivated to go for more, especially when we just have a recent win, it can always lead to losing the little you just got. It's okay to feel the game but always expecting to win more when you place your next bet is really deceiving because the chance of winning your next game is small compared to the one you got to lose.

[Su-asa]

This is a cycle that would keep on repeating itself and it is the major reason why a lot of people get addicted to gambling. Winning comes with a good feeling and sometimes it doesn't even matter if the amount of money won is small or huge there is an excitement that comes with it. Chasing the highs can lead to losses because it would make you desperate to always make profit and you know that this is something that's hard to achieve because it is impossible to always get lucky. The best way to gamble is always to have fun and think less about winning or making profit to avoid chasing losses or getting trapped in am endless loop of losing constantly.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I say there's no trick, who doesn't like to win? Who feels good about losing? Many sayings have come from this, like that you win more by losing, but for me, losing is losing and winning is winning. You have to learn from losing and improve so it doesn't happen again, especially when you risk money. If we don't win, we simply have to learn because otherwise we'll keep losing. In casinos, we have to learn to control money, when to bet more, when to quit. It's more about money management than anything else.

Do people actually gamble with the intention of losing? I think that when people gamble with their desires, the loss hurts them the most, but if they win a small bet during this loss, that win encourages them to gamble more and gambling becomes an addiction. But after all, if we calculate it, it can be seen that a person loses more money while gambling than if he wins half of it, but if he wins the last bet, he is happy and the next day he is encouraged to gamble again.

The winning is what encourages most of the gamblers to gamble more and which is why at the end of day they get addicted to the gambling, because by the time their losing instead of them to step back from the gambling since their losing but they will not is that very time some will continue chasing their losing; and if some is losing in gambling and also follow up by chasing it what are we expecting from that person? It will definitely be addicted to it.

And that’s why it’s good to avoid gambling in any situation we find ourselves; we will be thinking that may be gambling will be easy way to solve our problems where by gambling is not all about that the best thing is too stay far away from the such things.

[Kelvinid]

Casinos are both dependent on our emotional reactions and on the house edge itself. They know already that most of the gamblers are still gambling following their emotions, they follow what their heart says more than their mind, and if they keep chasing losses, then its good to say that casinos are always ahead of us when it comes to profit satisfaction.

In every win or loss, there's always emotional reaction. And that's where we acquire non-stop losses because we are gambling using our emotions, not as a brainy and wiser gambler. But if we can be responsible as it is, I guess no gamblers will gain maximum losses, because everyone is responsible on how much to bet and how much to lose.

[Sonia_123]

When you win, you forget about the sorrow and pains you must have passed through and all the funds you must have put into gambling, the experience is always joyful, but when you lose gamblers tends to be more sad that is where our emotions comes in, in any of these, we should be able to control our emotions and not let our emotions control us also self discipline is required in the outcome of the game.

in gambling whatever thing you are doing about the gambling is all about risk and it is very clear that winning in gambling is very difficult why losing in the gambling is very easier, so anything that we are doing we should be consider losing first before winning and that will make us not to budget above our limit or not to gamble with what we cannot afford to lose, realize that gambling can take whatever thing we have we don't need to be hoping that winning will be constant always in gambling, so it will be a good idea that we should expect losing first in gambling so that when we lose will not have a regret or to decide that somebody is deceiving us through gambling

[bitbollo]

Even if this sounds "difficult" its something that matters.... Emotions are part of the design to keep interesting gambling. Its like the "cream" inside a beatiful cake, the reason you're craving for it.
If you see as struggle and can't control yourself it's better to avoid at all to gamble with your money. Also, from these strong feelings you can make completely illogic decisions that could waste easily your plans/betting strategy.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Do you think casinos actually depend more on our emotional reactions than the house edge itself?

Casinos, and the gambling industry in general, have thoroughly analysed the potential psychological reactions of their customers.

Or do you believe a disciplined player can truly stay unaffected by this over time?

It’s possible, but most people don’t even consider it, which is why casinos make so much money.

In any case, everything you’ve mentioned suggests that you’re breaking the number one rule of responsible gambling: you’re gambling with money that you can’t afford to lose. If, when you win—even a relatively small amount—you become overconfident, and when you lose it affects you too much, it means you’re betting too much relative to what your budget should be. And if, as you describe, you end up in an emotionally uncontrolled state, that’s even more proof of this. And the fact that you’ve started this thread suggests that, deep down, you know it.

[maydna]

No doubt that winning can increase our confident, makes us difficult to stops. Whether that win is small or big, we wants more winning so that attract us to continue chasing the next wins.

But if we lose, we accept it but not stops gambling. Well, we can win but that will not always happens. But if you realize, you will see that the lose will comes many times than the wins.

If you gamble occasionally and you don't chase anything, you only wants spending your free time, whatever the outcome, you will not thinking much as that is gambling.

Casino play with our emotional and if we can hold back ourselves, we might gets deeper and only lose more. We should avoiding the real trap from gambling so we can treating gambling as entertainment.

[Outhue]

The most dangerous result for anyone who is just starting to gamble for the first time is winning their first sets of games, this will get them locked in and they will feel the full adrenaline of gambling, they will want to keep gambling like no tomorrow, winning is a trap most times for someone who is new to gambling.

I have fallen into the trap before but due to the warnings surrounding my family about gambling addiction I was able to control myself and opt out of the mess and crazy thoughts in my head, I fear winning the most as a gambler, discipline is just a word of the mouth, if you are not truly disciplined you will fall into the traps easily.
