I assume we’re all mature and responsible gamblers here, but from time to time, we still make mistakes. One of the most common mistakes is failing to control our emotions, we know where that leads.. losses, and the higher the stakes, the bigger the potential losses we have to endure.
That’s why it’s important that before placing big bets, we are already emotionally stable and disciplined enough to follow our strategy consistently.
So, guys, how do you control your emotions while gambling? And how has it benefited you?
The best way that I have been able to control my emotions while gambling is by risking the amount of money I know it won't affect my financial system, I only use the amount I know I can loose without regret. If I have $80k in my account and I loose $5 in gambling it won't affect me as much as it would have affected me if I had used $50k in gambling, so I can say that I control my emotions in gambling by using little amount of money as I only bet for the fun of it and for the love of football. Bet wisely.
You can consider that you are still in control if you are just using small amount from your initial deposit, more on entertainment and enjoyment as you can move forward if you lose small amount, unlike if you already lose huge or more than 50% of your balance there's a chance that you'll going to be aggressive and may keep chasing your losses and then lose a lot.
There's always a need considering what will be the outcome as you may lose a lot if you can't control or manage both your money and time while you are in your gambling sessions.
