Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?
I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.
That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.
Are you gambling with an edge?
It's undeniable that there are people with edges in certain types of gambling. For instance, I have seen people consistently profit off mispricings in the sportsbetting markets, as well as people who are consistently profitable off poker due to their skill.
In other games, however, it doesn't matter whether or not you are emotional. You are bound to lose in the long run. You may be able to win in the short run due to sheer luck, or through promotions that the casino offers, though.
