The
attitude of a player when making bets can be very positive, neutral
or hopeful. Some gamblers feel that the bet should only be made
when the first two feelings are present. Positive is always good
as even when enduring a losing bet, the player still feels they
will win in the long run. Such feelings are very helpful in overcoming
short term losing streaks. Neutral is a bet; say in poker, that
if the pot odds are correct, the player will make the bet with no
specific feeling. The bet is a calculated mathematical bet without
any feeling or hunch.
A winning positive attitude is conducive
in any form of gambling to creating winning streaks and surviving
short term losing streaks. The positive attitude makes it easier
to double a winning bet for the next hand of blackjack or the next
roll of the dice. It makes you decisive on when to press and when
to just keep the original bet in place. Some folks get this from
booze, but that is a falsely gain attitude and may crumble when
put to the test. A winning attitude that comes from within is hard
to beat in poker or many other forms of gambling. Skill and courage
help to form this way of thinking. It allows players in tournaments
to risk their entire prospects for the tournament on the call of
one hand. It is not a foolish call, but made either by a read or
instincts that come from the way the hand was played.
Players without this inner confidence
can win as long as the cards are rushing over them and plain luck
is deciding the winner. When courage and skill are not part of the
play then all the confidence in world does not help much. It
is one of the ironies of gambling that sheer luck can overcome skill
for a period of time. But, after a while in a game the rush will
end and the skillful player will again be in control of the game
as long as he gets playable hands You notice the operative words
are playable not the best hand. Great poker players win many pots
with very poor hands well played. Attitude
comes from skill and confidence in your own ability to set the tone
of the play for yourself. A confident player can unnerve many other
players in certain hands. Let your attitude help you win.
