for me positive mindset should only come after a bad result that is when your positivity gets really tested because you will have a very huge urge to just wallow and be disappointed

before you place the bet, it’s still being called hopeful which there’s nothing wrong with but after you’ve seen the results and you remain to think you can win despite the very low chances then that is when it just turns to delusions

When your results do not meet expectations, your body produces cortisol (the stress hormone). Maintaining a positive attitude at such times is quite challenging, as your dopamine system is in a depressed state.

In my opinion, positive thinking in gambling causes more problems than it solves. If you want to lose less in gambling, use deposit limits. This technique, combined with discipline, really helps to reduce gambling expenses.

Agree that's why positive mindset is not really enough for people to have since not every time this feeling would help them since there would be a time that they get stressed on the situation especially if they are losing badly and didn't meet what they expect.

So instead of thinking about that they better focus on having a good control on their finances and know how to asses the situation. Since if they can able to pull that and aim to have fun for sure that winnings will be fulfilling and they have something to think about. Also maybe if they just have discipline on their finances also know when to quit when its needed they won't get stress for thinking about those unsure matters.
