I've come to realize that people don't enter Gambling with the right mindsets and that's why they find it difficult to adapt to the anxiety and distress that it generates afterwards.
Gambling is filled with lots of emotions; there's the emotion for fun/enjoyment, relief,winnings,socializing, there's also the emotion for desperation and theft..😁
The emotions are sometimes what springs up unexpected losses and that's why you need to master and manage your emotions to improve your overall gambling experiences.
You can achieve that if you set clear self regulations limits for yourself,if you recognize when your emotions are taking over you and resist it.
Till date, I have not accepted the saying people actually gamble for the fun of gambling as been discussed here and outside the forum. In fact, I don't usually see people outside this place people gamble because of the fun. It's actually because of the money and since money is the driven force for their gambling, they make decisions they aren't supposed to even make in the first place if not why will a gambler risk more than he has on his account or money he needs.
When they gamble with their money and they eventually lost their money, they become emotional and start looking for a way to sort it out and because of the desperation of that money, probably because it was borrowed, the make drastic decision to gamble more to get back the previous ones but in the process they lose that one again and the cycle continue in that loop until they are doom completely with gambling without winning anything.
