Dealing With Emotions When Betting | Betting Gods

Betting for money can lead to so many emotions. You may feel a rush of excitement when you place your bet, a sense of anxiety while waiting, and all-encompassing joy when you win. Big risks lead to big emotions, so you may also feel intense frustration when you lose. Once we understand our Amygdala, the emotional powerhouse of the brain, that can help us to control and anticipate the big emotions we feel when betting. It’s important to understand where our emotions come from, so we don’t become a slave to our emotions.

Key Takeaways:

At times, our emotions and feelings take over when we are engaged in betting decisions.
There is no standard rule for people to follow when they are trying to maneuver around the field of betting.
It is important for people to accept the consequences if they lose money, but they also need to stay optimistic.

“Whilst most of us understand our emotions with betting/trading, sometimes they can become faded due to being in an excited or saddened state; this is where we don’t recognise our emotions. It has been proven that managing our emotions will most definitely improve vital skills needed for trading and betting in-play.”
