The players in the casino world rarely show their emotions. In the case of poker, the display of emotion can be fatal. In the case of other casino games displaying emotions is not necessarily a disadvantage because the opponent is a device or set of rules can not profit by analyzing the situation of the player. However, even those playing in land casinos roulette, craps or blackjack keep their emotions under control. Perhaps the social environment is such that it requires players to not stand out from the crowd by losing control of themselves.
However, these restrictions do not apply to online gambling. Players are often alone at home while playing on Internet or with a few close friends and family. Jumping for joy after receiving a big gain is a normal event. After all one of the advantages of online gambling in the comfort of home is that players should not meet a dress code or a certain behavior. However, not being able to keep emotions under control can have adverse consequences in the case of gambling online as well.
Online casinos operate with lower costs, hence the rate of distribution should be much higher in online casinos and players should lose lots of money smaller than in terrestrial casinos. However, it is reported that players lose faster and larger quantities of money by playing online. The reason is that some part of online players fail to control their emotions and are unable to stop playing when they should.
Take the case of a player who just won a huge amount of money at a casino on the Internet. It will inform all friends of his good fortune as they pleased. In the euphoria, he feels it's his lucky day and nothing can go wrong. It continues to play online and very soon he will lose everything he has gained and perhaps much more. If a player who has bet too much money is similar. He cursed his luck, he despairs at the point of wanting to repair his losses before his family learn of his misfortune. Therefore, it will continue to play and it does not stop losing.
In this case, if the player had kept his emotions under control and whether its future actions were guided by rational thought the result would likely have been different. Expressing his joy for a big gain is natural, but the player does not forget his plan to manage his bankroll. If he wants to keep his winnings, he should immediately request a withdrawal before the celebrations begin. In any case, it must be rational enough to withdraw his original bankroll and then continue to play online with his winnings only. If a player loses more than he had intended to bet, chasing losses is the worst thing he can do. The only alternative is the failure to control his emotions.
Thus online gamers should get a good practice from the beginning to manage their emotions and not let these emotions cloud their rational decision. If players are unable to do that, then they have already taken the first step to fall into the trap of gambling.
