(according to wikepedia) Tilt originated as a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggressive. Tilting is closely associated with another poker term, "steam". now we clarify this lets post useful meterial on how to fight it i hope everyone will participate on this thread with material and thoughts cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Ultimately “Tilt” is just a Scott Walker album for me. I get the concept and I can relate to it when I open a packet of Cadbury chocolate fingers and struggle not to see them all off but I don’t see what the problem is with betting. Don’t place too many bets and don’t overstake them, it’s pretty much that simple. I recognise my past tendency to sometimes have too many bets on major finals and tournaments but I pretty much learn from my mistakes and generally avoid repeating them. As the saying goes, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. If you can’t enjoy betting without repeatedly straying into full on tilting you should probably think more in terms of jacking it in rather than trying to change your spots. moneymakerdude and Data 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes, sounds like a spin on the mindset that fuels gambling addiction. I'm with Harry (although not Scott Walker, I'm from a rock 'n' roll then latterly Motown generation where Tilt was a pinball table term) Skybet used to shout something akin to "It matters more when you've got a bet on". Not for me it doesn't, my advice will always be "Don't go looking for your bets, let the bets find you".

harry_rag Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Just remembered I’d read this book. Think it was ok, a bit like what would spread betting be like if it was done by someone with no real understanding of how the markets work and a lack of discipline and restraint, hence the title. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spread-Betters-Diary-Iain-Fletcher/dp/1903267013 moneymakerdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm sure I saw that on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
