Re: How to practice emotional control in gambling?

We cannot force ourselves when we cannot win. Or if they're trying to be forceful with that, they'll only get more losses.

If we have no control over the situation, it's best to just let it go and let the results come without any heavy heart. Disappointments are there but if we cannot win at all.

It's that time to take some rest and we can go back maybe after a day or two.
When luck is not on our side, which is marked by a series of continuous defeats, it is the right time to stop. As you said, it is very appropriate, take time to rest for a few days, it will make emotions more stable when you come back later. A gambler should be ready for disappointment when they bet money, even though it is sometimes difficult to accept. What needs to be remembered is not to let gambling make life stressful, due to spending too much money on gambling.
That disappointment is also teaching us how to be patient and to control our emotions.

If someone who gambles and yet not ready for disappointments, they'll experience the baddest day ever in gambling soon.

They should be prepared for that because there is no coming back when they ever experience that.

I think that they'll still let that kid Strawther get in even that's a very crucial game of theirs.

They've seen how he played and he'll get some playing time again. If his first to two shots will get in, then he'll stay longer.

That's how the coach is blending them with him so, good luck to the final game of OKC and Nuggets.
Strawther played really well in Game 6 as a bench player. For sure, he will be given some minutes because he will be added to the rotation, and will be given more minutes if he contributes to his team.

I still can't forget that the Nuggets GM gave a 4-year $32M contract to a player who's barely playing. I'm talking about Zeke Nnaji, and between him and Strawther, Strawther deserves it way more.
Many are still disappointed with how the bench players performed. They really were about to lose that game with all of those point goal that have missed.

And as for these players that have received bigger salary than others who deserves it, there is also Michael Porter Jr that fills the huge salary cap for the team.

We will not be surprised if he gets traded next season.

That guy has magic hands.

And I think that the Nuggets can do some shuffling if they don't have some hands on the three, they can let Strawther do his job.

It's better if he's on the crucial games than Westbrook.  Roll Eyes

Although he needs more experience but this is it, if he's given more chance to play on these kinds of playoffs, he'll sure improve more.

And here's where coach's decision is very important placing players with good blend and a combinations where everyone will work together, like what it said that Jokic alone or both him and Jamal is not enough to win but the whole cast where role players are needed to provide the help that they can bring to win the game.

A game 7 where both teams got that chance winning and move on to the WCF, let see who's going to advance as both deserves but only one can move forward to compete against the waiting Wolves.

I like what you have said on the last sentence.

Because that is true, we don't have to force things so that we can be good at what we gamble with.

Just relax and let things happen according to its own, there will be less stress and emotion if just relax as we gamble.
It is easy to say but difficult because though there is no other alternative yet, people want to make something different and also want a different result, and that isthe  only win. There is no other thing a gambler wants but only wants to be a winner at any cost, and the main reason to be addicted and become a loser is such types of emotion, almost there is no way to be the opposite of it.

In poker? Yes it is.

Casino game? Stupidity at its peak.
This makes sense.

I typically all in in poker when I think that I'm winning with the cards in my hands. But if I know that it won't make sense and have upperhand, I'll fold.

But in casino games, I don't think it's stupidity when someone does that. All-in doesn't mean that you should only do it with huge amounts but, if we have a remaining small amount of bucks, we could all in with that as well.
Going all in can still work if you got the less likely cards to win because you don't have to win, all you need is to make everyone on the table that you're winning and that's what I call it as an actual strategy.

But in casino it's just random so going all in just taking a leap of faith without even knowing what will happen.
Randomly in casino games is like betting all because you have to go.

But in poker, you've got the confidence of doing an all in because you know that your cards are about to win and you are the strongest for that time.

It is a strategy to also bluff, only you know it if you're bluffing.

Nuggets won in the end because of Stratwher,they needed a player from a bench to do something to win the game and this guy came and did it. If Jokic gets help from his teammates they can win the NBA . Each time they lose its because only Jokic plays and other guys dont do anything. MPJ is just bad he cant hit anything
That guy has magic hands.

And I think that the Nuggets can do some shuffling if they don't have some hands on the three, they can let Strawther do his job.

OKC  can end the series tomorrow.

Jamal Murray is being deemed as questionable for the game 6 vs OKC Thunder tonight, the Nuggets are already in a tough spot enough, not having Jamal Murray might just be the final nail in the coffin that would see OKC close out the series. I know Jokic is still going to be the biggest threat, but he sure can’t do it alone, and with MPJ also struggling with shots due to his shoulder injury, and Aaron Gordon didn’t do much in game 5 either.

Didn’t know that.. thanks for the info! Now I see he’s listed as questionable.
I think I’ll just wait for the game to start, see if Jamal is still Jamal... then maybe place a live bet.

I really want Denver to extend this series, but if Jamal’s not at 100%, this could be it. Might be the night it ends.

Unless… Westbrook suddenly decides to go full MVP mode and light it up - now that would be so much fun.
This is bad for the Nuggets if Jamal is uncertain to play later.

I also want to see them to move to the finals but it doesn't look good at them if the OKC ends this on 6.

Westbrook sometimes is inconsistent, he's far from his prime but still can deliver when he's needed the most.

So, looking to make ourselves gamble with a clear mind is just the start and we have to maintain that whichever is the result, we win or we lose.
That's what I call true mental control, there's no other way, playing at that level brings us much closer to being wise, more professional and without a doubt to accepting the designs of the game with humility and not awakening anger, stress, pressure, I still haven't been able to reach that level, sometimes I feel that I have, other times when things go badly for me I stop and don't play at all, but at least I don't lose money like before, for me the key is in the money, controlling my money, by doing and achieving it my life as a player improved.
That time really comes when it's hard to become at control and pressure can't be out of the picture.

The anger management becomes part of it when we see ourselves not able to do so.

If you're trying your best at that level, soon that you'll also be proud of yourself because you're able to do so.

But the experienced gamblers have ways of conserving their energy to avoid doing that. So, a true gambler or not, we all feel the same and we need to be careful if these negativities causes us a problem.
I say that it is normal when you feel that fear, or rather that doubt that we always have of making a mistake and losing money, it is something very normal, that is why I always recommend limiting the money that you are going to spend in the casino, it is the only way to really Enjoy the experience with the casino, otherwise everything will be there adrift with the fear of losing a lot of money and that is not the idea, the idea is to lose only what we are willing to lose.
Very important reminder that we always tell but we can wonder how many actually doing it.

Quitting when need is one good chance for most gamblers to avoid unexpected losses.

I guess only a few is able to do that when they're in a tough situation where their emotions are high. So, able to control oneself is also a skill that others don't know how to do.

While the experienced ones can do that easy or sometimes they can't as well when their emotions are ticking too.

Yeah right, as ever those experienced gamblers still being push by their emotions to make a bad decision making, instead of quitting they tend to force themselves thinking that there's a chance that in their next bet they will be able to make it, as we know, gambling always have that risk and it's all the same on both newcomers and experienced gamblers emotions can do things that may harmed their position to the point that they'll be losing a lot and still continue adding more money to keep playing.
It is an unstoppable cycle.

We bet, we lose and then we think that we might able to win again if we bet again. That's why it is a cycle that's hard to break and many does that out of their thoughts.

Defeat doesn't stop them.

Yes, sometimes the mind can play tricks on us. It has happened to me that things that I don't want to happen to me because I see them as very bad, do happen to me in the jkgame, it is difficult because the mind is conditioned in an impressive way and that which we do not want to happen, does happen, that is why what we should do when playing is relax and accept the designs of the game, the less we try to force things, the better, because if they happen in our favor the blessing will be greater.
I like what you have said on the last sentence.

Because that is true, we don't have to force things so that we can be good at what we gamble with.

Just relax and let things happen according to its own, there will be less stress and emotion if just relax as we gamble.

Not getting too attach will give you some breathing when the outcome did not turned to your favor, though not all the time a gambler can be as chill as it is, it helps being relax while deciding your next position or might be quitting or stopping your sessions to avoid losing a lot or to keep whatever you already earned.

It's a matter of having a clear mind when playing as it keeps you to where it should be and not to overlook the decision you should make..
Getting a clear mind helps us gamblers to avoid further emotional situations.

We have to see it for ourselves and we can control the situation if we're not going to far with our emotions.

So, looking to make ourselves gamble with a clear mind is just the start and we have to maintain that whichever is the result, we win or we lose.

disgusting game from the Cavs what a boring game. They should refund the tickets for the game because it was a big shit show  Cheesy
Haha.

Totally a disappointing game.

We have thought that they're going to win that game but they didn't. Games later have got 2-1 standing for both match ups.

Is it going to be 2-2 for both or 3-1 for either or one?

The Celtics won on game 3.

I thought that it will be NYKs that will continue to dominate and make it 3-0.

Celtics need to continue winning to take this series. Because if they don't, they'll have problem on the next game if they don't take and win it.

That would be too much to ask... getting a 3-0 advantage against the defending champs?

Let’s not forget, the Celtics are the reigning champs. It would be a huge shock if they go down 0-3 and eventually get knocked out, especially since no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit.

By the way, did you ride with the Celtics spread on this game?
I just thought of it.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

Because if the Knicks are in the winning streak, the momentum is there but that's it. They've lost and we'll see if the Celtics will continue to win the next game.

Logging out is the best option but not everyone is able to do that.

When they're so emotional and having that kind of panic attack, it's hard to stop but as soon as we feel that.

We have to do something and have to beat it or else, it is us that we will be beaten not just with bets but also with our emotion.

That's what we called self-control if you can manage to beat that pressure and able to quit your way when needed. Being responsible is your duty to protect your money together with the time that you'll going to consume, aside from that, you also preventing yourself getting deeply engage as you choose to stop before your emotions dominates you.
Quitting when need is one good chance for most gamblers to avoid unexpected losses.

And if playing by the terms, this is normal for most gamblers that we feel panic, we feel lost and all of the emotions are getting mixed because we do not like what happened and the results of our bets.
Yes, I understand it is something that can happen, but it should already be something different, at this point we as players what we should feel is pleasure when playing, no negative feelings should appear, panic is even more delicate, because if it is panic then it is the game that produces it and if so you should not do the activity, I used to feel fear but the fear was of losing money and then if I lost an amount, it would become a bigger problem because I still had to respond for what I had to buy.
We can't stop ourselves from having that feeling when gambling is going to our nerves. It's normal to panic and feel bad.

But the experienced gamblers have ways of conserving their energy to avoid doing that. So, a true gambler or not, we all feel the same and we need to be careful if these negativities causes us a problem.

Who saw that injury to Anthony Edwards?

It seems what happened with Stephen Curry on Game 1 was almost the same this game with Anthony Edwards, but still no official statement that Anthony Edwards can't go back anymore in this game.
Even that, Timberwolves still lead more than 20 points just now.
I saw that and the camera looked on Steph's face and he understands how hurtful it was.

Still got no news if he's going to play in their next game because it is what matters next even they've won the game.

And as for Steph, there is still no news as well on when he'd be able to play.

While I don't think the Phoenix Suns will let that happen this year and will want way too much for him, the idea that LeBron could go to the Warriors is a real possibility. 
They have to let him go if he wants out of the team.

Reconsideration of their line up and budget needs to be done and so that opens for a perfect opportunity for some other low cost good player to put up their banner for the next season with Booker.

I think a LeBron and Steph combo would be hard to stop but they are both getting old...
It's for the history I think and that what will try to do.

I've heard them said this thing during Olympics stint, IIRC.

It is a issue of being a responsible and mature gambler, rather than someone who may be a newbie and have the wrong expectations on what their gambling experience is going to be, you know.
Anyone with a minimum of research and understanding of mathematics would realize why gambling is considered a reliable business and not a way for gambler to make money consistently.

If one feels panic, anxiety or regret which gambling, it is better for such kind of person just to log out and take a long break from gambling, as gambling main objective is to serve as a way to entertain ourselves, not to torture ourselves.
Logging out is the best option but not everyone is able to do that.
