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.
