Have you experienced tilt over the long game?  How have you dealt with it?  How do you think you can gamble with a cool head, and how do you make yourself a good brake inside)   And why do people in general like to gamble? ???  I never thought I would enjoy gambling) I remember playing cards for change with my cousin as a child, it was very funny when she lost, fell on the table and shouted that it was all mine) ;D https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0411/52/4fd4cae2ab337a8b7040162d78a32152.png (https://fastpic.org/view/121/2023/0411/4fd4cae2ab337a8b7040162d78a32152.png.html)

I'd say "tilting" when you lose motivation, laying back, and only playing for the sake of emptying your balance is quite common, especially in slots, since you don't need to think when playing. It doesn't affect anything since it's purely luck-based games anyway, contrary to skill-involving games in which tilting can affect your performance. But still, this situation isn't good for gaming in general when the fun is a crucial part of the activity. So, when I lose the fun feeling while playing, it's an alarm to stop/pause and then resume after different activities. But even though we know the theory or the ideal way of playing, it's still extremely hard to stay discipline.

It sometimes happen to me when in dice and gotten the losing streaks where I would just want to stop playing and just hit the Max button next to 2x and leave when i lost it all.  They must have deliberately put that Max button beside the 2x for the impatient gamblers.

After playing to clean out the funds in my account, I actually regret. And in the next few days, I came back again to play.

Tilt in gambling is a common thing. I reckon a couple of newbies and even a number of veteran gamblers in this forum fall victim to this type of mentality. I myself have been tilted a couple of times in the past leading me to keep chasing wins, which if I didn't realize a little early on, could've lead me to becoming addicted to gambling.

So how do you avoid tilt? You can't.
With videogames it's easy to avoid tilt, a proper mindset, a cheerful attitude, you're good to go. In gambling, that's not the case, money is involved so whether you're playing for entertainment or you're playing for money it doesn't matter, you'll find yourself getting tilted especially after consistent losses.

But how do you stop it? I found that deep breaths when I feel that vein finally popping up my temple really helps with reorganizing my emotions and collecting my thoughts. You should give it a try too.

It's not enough to breathe in and out, you have to walk in the park for three hours in the fresh air I think that's better :-\

Tilting in gambling is a very common thing but the mental frustration and emotional confusion displayed varies amongst gamblers. Gambling with a cool head first starts with a gambler defining why the choose to gamble and what kind of benefit the choose to gain from gambling. If the gamble is for fun it will be more easier to keep a cool head. But if the money is the principal motive then aggressiveness is inevitable which will certainly result in more losses..

Everyone is a gambler in one way or the other either consciously or unconsciously, the only difference is when it becomes pronounced. Every pronounced gambler got involved by different means. I can recall when i placed my first bet on my favourite team and lost it was all fun because i already counted the amount as lost token. That didn't stop me from going back

if you play consciously, taking into account the risks and opportunities, you cannot go tilt...
in general, a tilt can happen but it is never a "positive" event because it is a sign of stress, of incorrect planning.. in short, it is a sort of "alarm bell" that must make us reflect on gambling activities

It is difficult to behave cold headed when you are losing in slot machines for example as in sport betting is somewhat easy as you have time for an event to finish while you are thinking your next bet.In slots is different and the reason why people do gamble in general is simple,they want to make a big win,hit the jackpot or a huge payout.What they don't know is that they will almost never hit a jackpot or a maximum payout and that is why a lot of people start behaving not naturally and keep depositing more money to chase the loses which itself brings even more loses.

I have dealt with it by stop playing slot machines and only playing on sport betting and this helps me keep a cool head,I never feel the same sadness when I lose at sport betting than the one which is really the worse feeling when you lose it all on slot machines.

That's pretty normal to be tilted when we do something that we're passionate about and the result isn't in our favor. Dealing with it is not easy for many because it's an attitude that you cannot control if you're not used to it. But when it does happen to me, I deep breath and drink some water and that's it.

Before gambling, you need to set yourself that you'll not be hot headed because it won't give you good luck.

Profit for everyone, entertainment, to enjoy and have fun but there goes those that have been staying in gambling as their bread and butter.

Kids shouldn't gamble but how old were you guys during that time?

I think every gambler has experienced this at one point, of course we always want to be in control of our emotions, but during long runs of playing, sooner or later you are going to tilt. The best way to deal with it is just to stop, and take a break easy as that.

Not just in games like poker, but even if you do sports betting, you are also going to experienced it. You become reckless, out of control and out of the norm you bet on teams or look for great odds. But at the back of your mind, you know that is is the worst teams to bet. So again, if you have this sign, it's not good to continue gambling as you are obviously going to lose.

I always gamble using the right mindset as a brake for myself and gambling with a cool head, of course, will make us always be calm and responsible. Sometimes people like to gamble because they want to get a lot of money from the gambling table. but the fact is it's hard to get even almost impossible.

We all know that there are many gamblers who chase big wins and in the end they continue to chase after losing a lot of money until they become addicts. They don't even really enjoy gambling, they are just obsessed with getting the lost money back, just like your cousin who whines asking for his money back.  ;D

I think almost all gamers experience tilt because sometimes other external factors can contribute to this condition. One might have had a stressful day at work instead of resting he could decide to engage in gambling. The work stress might make him overreact if his loss is consistent. Family problems might also contribute to tilting. That's why it is important to be in a good frame of mind before gambling because it could have some negative consequences. Gamblers should always bear in mind that tomorrow might be a good day so we have to accept and bear today's losses.

This has happened to me many times while gambling, and it is not unusual for it to happen, and no one will feel good when their money is going in front of their eyes. But I think in order to control it, we should gamble with the mindset that the money I invest may not come back.
I think it completely varies from person to person what they gamble for, maybe some people do it to get excitement, some people consider gambling as a game and there are also many people who do gambling from their greedyness to make some money++ , and It may also be that gambling is done to get away from loneliness and peace of mind
Lol , It was funny attitude, maybe it because of you are doing gamble when you were child. As a child it is better to stay away from these dangerous games where your pocket money will fly away

Only happened to me once while rolling dices on Stake, I had a small budget and decided administer the money carefully, so I could extend the session for at least 1 hour or so.

I ended up having several consecutive losses and just felt a bit burned out and decided to end earlier in that occasion, I basically logged out after 10 mins because of that bad luck streak, not my luckiest day, considering the previous time I did better.  :P

It seems to me that almost every gambler loses his temper from time to time during gambling. In my opinion only negative experiences (big losses) make you think about changing your behavior, and in fact we can say that only a small part of gamblers can learn to fully control their emotions and therefore stop tilt. Unfortunately I still have not learned how to fully control my emotions both in trading and gambling, but I have progress compared to a few years ago.

I definitely experience tilt when playing poker because it requires such intense concentration over a long period of time, or at least in the way that I played it. Others have probably mastered a more peaceful strategy, but for me it felt inevitable - you want to keep scraping out a profit, but then you get bored after a few hours of no profit play, make a few bluffs or bad calls and suddenly lose a massive part of your bankroll. Online play is very difficult for me, because you have to be razor sharp all the time as pros and fish move around the tables. It's possible to master given enough time but you need to have more patience than people who might be earning good at $3 an hour in comparison to others in their country.

Correct, that's what I will do, walk for hours, just try to clear my mind specially if I made a bad bet because I no longer have control of my emotions. So it's really hard for gamblers to control our thoughts, our decision are clouded when we have experienced this phenomena of tilting. Hard to overcome, even if you are experienced gambler and you thought that you know what you are doing, there will be times that you lost control.

So just take a stroll, breathe and don't come back in gambling. You need to clear your mind first before you make another bet. Or better, just stay away from it for several days and see how it goes for you.

If you are a very competitive person who can't accept taunts from other people it can be really hard to keep calm in gambling, especially in PvP games, but you have to train your mental skills to cool down your emotions when you feel enraged by a loss or provocation, otherwise I fear that is not the kind of activity you can get involved with, for your own good. When we are younger, more exactly during the childhood, it's more common to face such "tilting" issues, but normally we tend to evolve on this aspect within time, as we grow older, wiser and more experient.

Yes, if only wisdom could protect against gambling addiction. Most gamblers who cannot control their emotions have a gambling addiction of one degree or another and as real life shows even a gray-haired sage can lose all his money in a casino and then come back to win back his past losses and lose again. So I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for age, wisdom and experience. It's all very individual.

I have become a victim to tilt way back,it is when you are impatient and start chasing your lost,before you know it your account is bankrupt. Self-control is all it takes to avoid been trapped, when you are losing straight ten games or more,it a sign that you should take a break from gambling at that moment and try again later.

Setting a budget for your gambling activities can also help you to stay safe from this. Addiction can make a gambler empty his account, that is why as a gambler,I prevent any gambling practice that will lead me to addiction.

All the time.

For example, playing Live Game Casino (Baccarat). You're got 8 and then the other got 9, any kind of lose who only have different 1 number always make me tilted punch some tamble or my mouse.

I mean, I accepted the lose but the lose like this just make me mad ~LOL.

Really common to have that kind of impression on which there's really a time on where emotions could really be that evident or something that you could really be able to express it out and making out those impulsive

actions.I have done it how many times on where i had been punching up my monitor or slamming out my keyboard on the time that do experience some huge losses in gambling.
You cant really be making sure that you are really that in good mood on every day.There's always a time that you would really get pissed no matter
how you do have that kind of self discipline or control.  8)

I agree with you Children should not gamble!  I think children even in simple games are very gambling, take an innocent game - Get the toy out of the machine, the child will not leave until he gets his way, even though he does not need it at all.  When we played cards we were about 8 years old, it was an innocent game to me, but my sister loved money)

^How did you overcome it?
Probably the very basic action that you need is to take a break, step away from the game, and clear your mind. You can also try some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to help you calm down and regain focus. People should enjoy gambling for various reasons but not become a victim of this tilt because this is all upon you how you can handle, it is self-control.

That's also like me before that every time I lose, I even tap on my table or the wall whenever I don't see the result that I'm expecting.

This is normal behavior of disappointment but if it's being done on a daily basis, this is unhealthy. I've been there and done that and that have felt me terribly bad that I'm into that point that it keeps disappointed at all times.

But it has to stop so I have to control myself and emotions that's being made. As of now, I'm no longer easily tilt with average results because of my bets.

  :D ;D Ha ha a player should always have a mouse in reserve) she suffers first and foremost from our Tilt

There's always a time when the thread snapped on which you could really be able to punch up a wallet or bang up something that around you which is really a common reaction or things to be done when you do lost a certain bet.I agree on what most people been saying on here is that we are just human beings on which it is really normal to have these reactions where losing money is something that could make you
angry or really that been disappointed. Tilting when it comes to emotions is really that very common but if you are really that coming for entertainment then it wont really matter
that much but reactions like  this is common.

Is not easy to maintain a cool head when gambling and especially when you are on a loosing streak. At first reading this post, all memories of my actions when loosing just flash back in my head and I won't lie it made me smile abit. I would tell and advice to just switch off and pause when losing and try to keep yourself busy by watching movies but it ain't easy to do but if you manage it's rather effective and try funny movies as it would help relax the nerves and make you forget the grief and feeling of lost.

and sometimes when you are losing, you have that blood rush on you trying to recover what you've lost. indeed, it is hard to remain cool when you are on the losing side. you need to check yourself from time to time if you are still on track with your games. and how far are you going to spend your money? always best if you are only playing with your extra money so even if you are on the losing side, you won't be too aggressive in getting it back.
some are too adamant to get it back because the money they are using are not them, or borrowed, or from their monthly bills.

This is basically out of control with your self, the best way to handle this is to stop for a moment whatever you are doing and get some fresh air from the outside or take a cigarette break if you want to cool your head. The more you are playing when you are not in control of yourself will lead you to more losses and tilted/tilting is part of the game and remember that gambling isn't design to make money it was designed for entertainment with the possibility to win the game of course since that's entertainment.

Trying to control yourself and stay calm while gambling can help you overcome tension, especially if you experience consecutive losses. It is indeed difficult to remain cool-headed while playing gambling, but at least we have to be able to try so that we don't experience the effects of gambling, namely emotions that increase until we can't handle it. And if you are playing in a room alone, you should already have limits on gambling, meaning when you start and stop gambling. But usually, that will only trigger us to play longer because no one knows what we are doing and when we see that there is still money in our account, we tend to use it to continue playing gambling. And before things get worse, we must stop and leave our rooms to get some fresh air and calm our emotions. Likewise, if we succeed in getting a victory, we must stop immediately before thinking about continuing because we want another victory.

Okay.

Children thinks that it's ok to do such because they don't recognize that they're gambling. I have my own story as well and basically that's under on the teenager and legal age days.

And I think we all have our fair share stories about gambling during the old times and those were the days we're all young and curious. No pressure and no obligation. But as we grow older, a simple lose and struggle of getting a win is tilting us easily.

Easy to say but when you are in a situation or condition on which you are losing that much then it is really that hard to stop midway on which you would really be thinking up mainly that you should be trying out
to cope or recover losses on which it cant really be avoided that you wont really be having those kind of actions on where you would really be that get angry whenever you dont expect
on what are those outcome.It is really just that normal on having this kind of reaction where getting that high blood and impulsive reaction.It is really that easy to say on
making yourself calm but when you are on the situation then it is already that hard.

There is a big contradiction in your post when you ask why people like to gamble and that you never thought you would, but then you say that you played for change as a child already! :D If I had to guess I would say that you started earlier than most of the gamblers. ;)

It is excitement right? And it is also pleasure, but it becomes more serious when money is involved. If it was only for pleasure you could actually join an online casino and play with play money, but hardly anyone does that. It is also not realistic if there is nothing at risk. When I tried out the first online poker platform, I thought I use my play money and check out the platform a bit. You can do that for the platform itself, but not for the game. If nobody risks anything of value, it is an all in gamble nonstop.

As soon as everyone has to put something into the pot, you can see that many players evolve as they start putting some thought into their decisions and the game becomes strategical. That's not going to happen if really nothing is at risk. So I think money (or something else of value) is a central element to these games that is required to evoke strategic thinking in the players. The chance to take home a big prize in the end has always been a great incentive. When you go to a fun fair and you try to catch a stuffed animal in these glass boxes with these crane grabs, it's in essence also a gamble that you have to put money into at first in order to get the chance to win something.

I guess we human beings love to challenge the luck factor that may or may not lead us to our goals the fastest.

Perhaps, you might wanna try it for yourself if you think this isn't easy as getting some fresh air when you are breathing. If someone isn't in their right mind to continue to play even though they are losing too much because of irration or get tilted then I guess that's the time it isn't easy to do if they have impulsive addiction to gambling. They need some help if they can't be in control with themselves. I've read a lot of articles about rich people losing too much in just a single day. The problem is not the casino it's them, they need to seek professional advice or therapy to tend their addiction problem.

Who never tilted after losing several times in a row and swore that he would still plan DDOs against the site or something like that? :P
I think everyone here has experienced this in gambling, even the most calm and collected people, and it's a natural process.

Losing patience is sometimes good, because that's when the person realizes that the game day really isn't in their favor and then decides to stop playing.
On the other hand, a person who has never "lost his head" even after consecutive defeats may not realize that he has to stop playing, believing in the possibility that it is always possible to recover the loss and thus losing even more money.

A gambler should never allow emotions to affect his gambling habits; will always end up with a problem. What is ideal is to remain calm whether you are winning or losing 'coz your next bet won't have certainty as well. If you happened to lose in a bet, you cannot assure that you'd be winning on the next one so what's the need to be frustrated about it? I get it; every emotion is valid but the only thing a player could control is the emotion and not the outcome, so better be responsible of it.

How to deal with frustration? Pregention is better than cure, set limit already, before engaging with gambling. Next, accept that losing is more likely to happen and instill that there are lucky and unlucky days for a player. Learn how to stop when needed; if you are continuously losing, that should be an enough sign to take a pause.

Most of the time when I have a little balance left in my wallet. I just don't care what will happen to it. No motivation to analyze the game and just put the bet like money has no meaning anymore.
This happens mostly when I am on a losing streak, I think most gamblers find this natural when all the energy has been sucked out of them due to consecutive losses. Some may say it's because of a lack of discipline in the game/betting but I find it difficult to control when you are in that moment.
Sometimes, I do try to get away from my computer just to avoid it from happening again. This kind of emotional breakdown is worst than those who are chasing losses.

Ahh, never, never do something like that, because when i lost i just stop then will try later or tomorrow and it's always a short game session.
Maybe in other games i do, but not gambling especially when you're playing in a long session and wants a win but still losses, i experience playing moba games but its out of topic already.

It's normal because you are playing with your emotion, you are not a bot that will just take whatever the results are, that is why we have a thing called chasing your losses because you have lost your emotion and you become aggressive in getting back your losses.
Composure while gambling can only be learned over the years of playing and learning how to control one's self, it's always better to stop from time to time to develop the habit of not to emotionally involved in gambling.

I bet that even you're for the entertainment that you'll still feel the same way. It's human nature that we don't want to be losers and when there's money associated, that reasoning is being tougher.

We just don't want to have fun and lose them all but instead, even if we're having fun we also want to make money from it. Although it's acceptable that whatever purpose from the start that made us gamble, you have to go back in there and think of it once again.

So that it won't hit your ego and you won't be feeling bad after all. Thus, the money you budget for gambling should be good and expected to be gone anyway.

I think we all experience Tilt in gambling from time to time. I used to paly poker a whole lot more when I was in college, which is sadly quite some time ago at this point.  I started playing during the whole Texas Hold'em "boom" so I was at a game every other night at least, often every night in a row.  I think when you just start to play so often and so long, it weighs on you.  Even if you're winning, it can be grueling..when you're playing tournament style poker..you've got to be committed and that will wain on you at times.

I will do some relaxation making activities when I was tempted by the loss. Every gambler are human being, So we have emotional breakdowns at the loss. It should be taken care by making some trips and adventures activities. You can’t handle the animal inside you at the big loss, you have to left the gambling for few weeks and make a trip to entertain yourself. My favourite thing to entertain myself on the stress is watching some good movies. Because getting tempted will not make any sense. Only our Blood pressure will shoot up and we get diabetes due to high pressure. Instead skip that loss and target the process. Because the process will give us the profit after some days, but you need to wait till it going to happen. The profit can be recovered with certain period of time.

I've been through that point several times and for me, the best way to stop that tilt is to take gambling less seriously up to the point that you start to care less about the results and treat it as a way to kill some time instead of earning money.

Once you've done countless gambling sessions you'll start to get used to the same losing situation like it's a regular day, the longer you spend time on it the easier you can control it because you already know what's likely going to happen.

I already broke some computers in the past due to getting irritated, most of the time I got irritated because when I bet the game was already in perfect condition, the odds were good but the internet disconnected or else it was the computer itself that started slow down, and after everything was fine (fast internet or the computer was fast) and when the game already had a lot of goals and it was no longer possible to place a bet, I got very irritated with that and sometimes crashed the computer, It was back in the days when I used to make live sports bets, for example I chose games where the odd was @2.55 then I went to the live game, I watched until the team scored a goal and with that the odd was already at @1.40 at @1.70 it was already a good time to bet

so I only had a few minutes to be quick and bet because the odds would drop to @1.30 to @1.35 and as the winning team would put a lot of pressure on the opponent and the time was less than 10 minutes for the game to end soon. closed and no one else could place bets, but always at that moment my internet would start to drop or would be slow or then the computer would be slow that I would get very irritated and crash the computer, after a while I stopped placing live bets because I started to notice that I couldn't keep having that kind of stress every week

I mean, play Dota 2 in the SEA, I'd expect you'd get used to being tilted and raging.

Kidding aside (not really tbf), tilt is a natural part of enjoyment, it comes in all sorts of forms and methods (and people) but that's just how it is. I usually deal with it by storming off, taking a jog around my neighborhood if it's really big and just taking in deep breaths if it's small.

I usually gamble with a cool head, rarely do I tilt, different thing when it comes to sports gambling though, how I'd love to squeeze the players after losing an easy game.

We like to win, if the result is opposite we tilt whether it be gambling or anything else. To avoid it, it's good to just leave the desk for a while and go for a walk or get engaged in hobby of your choice, it will help your head calm down and come back to business again.

This is a natural tendency. But it needs serious attention regardless. Most especially if you are bringing a big amount of money with you when you gamble or when you carry with you your credit or debit card, this is really dangerous. If you feel that you start losing rational decisions in the gambling table, or when you think you are already getting emotional or stressed because of a losing streak, take a pause. Stand up, breathe some fresh air. Go out for a while or take a little walk. Or talk to somebody, perhaps a chat with a bar waiter. Do it or you risk losing all your money.

I think it happened in the early days when I played gambling when I didn't have good self-control.
At that time, there was only the feeling of wanting to win and trying to play longer than usual but unfortunately, that didn't work out for me.
But eventually, I realized that it was all a mistake and when I felt that I couldn't enjoy the game anymore, I decided to stop immediately.
We alone can know what we have to do and don't force ourselves to try to continue playing if the situation doesn't allow it.

Yes, I have experienced it, as have all of us who play poker. Over time, I have come to control it quite a lot and it affects me less, but sometimes it is inevitable that it affects you, especially when you accumulate many sessions in negative, when you keep losing against players clearly worse than you. In those cases the best thing to do is to learn to recognize that you are entering tilt and close session.

I understand that in casino games, even if they are EV- the best thing to do is to recognize it and close session.

There is no other way to deal with tilt than to stop gambling immediately, most of the time you will reach that state after you have either lost many times in a row or you suffered a very unlikely loss, and on both cases you need to take your time to clear your mind and get rid of those emotions before you begin to gamble again.

Now if for some reason you cannot stop gambling completely, as it would be the case if you are playing on a poker tournament, then you still need to stand up and stop gambling at least for a few minutes, you may lose a few blinds, but that is a small price to pay if we compare it to the money you could lose by playing in a state of tilt.

I think if gambling causes you to tilt, damage things or people around you etc. You should better pause gambling. People don't seem to understand that gambling is something supposed to be funny and you should focus on that part even if you are losing. I know losses grow inside you so you get angry at times but tilting a machine won't help you cover your losses. I think gamers have sort of similar issue. Especially I saw posts mentioning team games like Dota 2. When you are tempered you should silence your anger.

All players must have experienced this condition when they have played for too long and the brain becomes fatigued and it gets worse when the game doesn't go as expected. Usually if I experience this situation I will just try to keep playing until the balance runs out because I am not used to leaving funds in the casino, and the results are not important because what I want is to play until there is nothing left to play with.
If you are not someone who is addicted to gambling, then it will not be difficult to stop or at least stop for a while when facing tilt because actually when the brain is no longer comfortable to be invited to focus on playing then gambling will be an unpleasant thing and the choice is to stop for a while.

Yeah it's just a proof if you're not able to control yourself, when we're gamble we need to think realistic and not aiming to make money, if we're only gamble to make more money, we will not satisfied in the end since we're high likely will lost. It doesn't mean if we not think to make money, we will make money through gambling, it's wrong. We're just want to kill our boredom and enjoy our gambling activity, profit is just a bonus.

Yes indeed in gambling We like to win, comes when we start losing money, we think about the losses and get angry >:(

You know what they say, folks, when life serves you snail-paced computers, squeeze out some lemonade! Sure, it's annoying when you're trying to nail that live sports bet, and the universe seems hell-bent on stopping you. But maybe there's a sneaky fix hidden somewhere. Ever pondered swapping to a zippier gadget for your wagers, like a trusty laptop or tablet that won't let you down? Or perhaps it's high time you splurge on a cutting edge internet hookup, so sluggishness can never rain on your parade again.

But hey, it's key to bring your top drawer mojo to betting. Keep those emotions on a leash, and watch your wallet like a hawk. Most importantly, savor the journey! Betting should be a pulse pounding, electrifying ride, not a migraine in the making.

It can't be denied that gamblers can get satisfaction when they win and have a profit of some money.
The main goal of gambling is to make a profit, but on the other hand, no gambler can really make a profit without having a loss.
Gambling is an act that generates uncertainty so that it is impossible if it is expected to be a source of income.

Self-control is quite necessary but only a few gamblers understand self-control.
When a gambler can control himself when betting, he deserves to be called a winner because in gambling the winner is not who makes money but who manages to avoid losing money.
Why get a number of profits but in the future and so on only experience defeat.

I have the same thing in mind.

Tilting is something most players experience when they suffer from a loss or series of losses. It gives you a heavy feeling that affects your way of thinking and thus, could affect your decision-making skills as well that could possibly result to unpleasant outcome. Tilting is most commonly felt in games involving skills such as esports. Not necessarily on betting, but gambling in general, for instance, the NFT games which are p2e. The moment you encounter multiple losses, you lose the motivation to play because there's a part of your mind that says you're not capable and you'll just lose the other time around. Thus, affecting your performance in the game, resulting to what you are thinking of in the first place - losing.

The moment you feel you are already tilted, it's time to pause for awhile, take a breather, and calm and compose yourself. By doing this, you are doing yourself a favor of not making any further losses that could affect your earnings if your goal is to profit while playing.

Yeah, its the feeling that you have lost already, or at least you don't have any qualms about losing and just want to empty your balance. I have been in this kind of situation in slots wherein I was only going through the motions of pressing that spin without hinting that I might win big.

So I know it's a bad feeling and the only way is to really get out of gambling and don't think about it for a second. Just go and relax on other activities and go out and take a vacation with your families to remove that distraction.

I'd be surprised if no gambler says they have never experienced tilt. It is frustrating and it has many times than one led me to make foolish gambling decisions that has cost me a lot of money. But as time went on, I found a way to keep my cool in the midst of all the frustrations. Usually, when I begin to notice it, I give myself a 10 - 15mins water break. I go to the bathroom, wash my face, I look in the mirror and repeatedly tell myself to calm down. And then when I return to back the game, I try to keep my head in it and just focus on getting from point A to point B than on trying to win at once.

Of course I'm getting tilted knowing that I waste time because I lose and also lose my money along with it. I actually practiced myself to be cool headed as I am already lost I don't want to add another problem if I can't control my anger, also if I am not really in the mood and my instinct really wanted to play but I know that I'll just lose because I won't control my emotion and probably bet all my money. I do the alternative of playing with not real money and actually it works for me as I forgot that I am not using real money whenever I am losing.

 

It's not really easy to gamble with a col head especially when you are losing, when we are playing in casinos our emotions are also with us, there are highs and lows of playing in casinos and we are always mentally challenged, this is why we always comeback playing, it's part of the process, we should not deny it, we will learn how to control our feeling eventually if we have a strong character,



It's part of us as human beings we like to take risks, conquer, and learn from our losses, we feel alive when we are gambling because all our emotions are coming to play that is why we keep coming back to gamble.

I really have problems with my emotions, mostly at work, but luckily I was able to control myself when it came to gambling because I do walk away when I get frustrated in a game, and I won't be playing if I'm angry because I lose a lot and I won't attract luck, which was the opposite when I was at work. Controlling emotions is the key to not losing a lot in gambling because, for sure, if you are angry, you'll lose more.

Deep breaths outside where there's cool air really does the trick for me too. I just don't know if it would really take three hours but it probably depends on the person. Around one hour should be enough and then maybe add some workouts or other physical activities to sweat it out if still not satisfied.

I find this pretty effective as well.

That is good for you since it is really hard to contain your emotions especially when dealing with these kind of situations. It is actually good to have that mantra since doing something while having a big emotions would sometimes cause bad things so it is really better for us to just take time to reflect by doing anything that you think that can really calm you. In gambling, it is indeed that you should at least master controlling your emotions since being in the situations that deals risking money can cause some bad emotions that might affect your way of dealing in further situations and also it might affect your decision-making.


I agree with these as people have different take on handling situations and their own emotions. It is completely normal to experience those but what we do as an effect of those emotion would define us on how we handle those emotions. Gambling would let you experience a lot of emotions, so you need to have a clear mindset on your budget and try to focus on handling those because as soon as you recognize that there is problem, you can handle those pretty well.

The basic rule and probably the first rule and rule of thumb is to moderate your greed and tame your emotion, gambling is where you release your inner anger and all emotions because of the desire to win.
No gambler is perfect emotions always gets the best of him and his action and it will take years and many trial and error before he cultivates his character of controlling his emotions.
I also have a share of losing my control I have forgotten the number of times I chased my losses even losing my savings, but rough times are the building block of good character.

The world of gambling has always been synonymous with entertainment, hobbies, fun, addiction, desire, money, lust, trial and error, curiosity and so on, all of that is in gambling, for this reason it is difficult for those who are already addicted to gambling to eliminate or stop their gambling habit, curiosity is more dangerous.
For example:
If I bet again I will definitely win, for sure I can beat the dealer, for sure blah, blah, even if I lose again and lose again.

In principle gambling is complacent, to overcome all the things someone in gambling there are a number of things that need to be done, namely:
• try to control gambling, don't let gambling control you.
That way you can set the time when to bet and when you want to stop.

For sure do not let addiction control yourself, try to control your own addiction, because gambling addiction is more dangerous than alcohol or drug addiction.

I think that the feeling of being tilted is completely normal as we humans have emotions. When we bet in gambling, we use our resources and we cannot escape the liability and feeling of losing our money. It is completely normal to feel tilted as this actually limits our gambling expenditures, though this may be considered in a case-to-case basis.

Generally, there are two (2) outcomes that may happen when a person is tilted: either he quits or he continues gambling in the process. The feeling of being tilted provides that a person may want to recover his winnings in order to quickly and immediately feel grateful; on the other hand, a person may want to quit gambling since being tilted connotes a negative type of energy as a whole.

This is what greed looks like >:( https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0412/43/016a1b6fc4ac4b5fbc75ff5f37394043.png (https://fastpic.org/view/121/2023/0412/016a1b6fc4ac4b5fbc75ff5f37394043.png.html)

This reminds me of one time I was trying to gamble to double my money so I can get a Samsung A series phone. Because I already went in my head feeling anxious and jittery because I wanted to win by all means possible. But life had other plans for me to teach me a valuable lesson on seeing gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a money doubling scheme. In fact, I think tilt in gambling is a precursor for chasing losses. They go hand in hand . Anyways long story short, I lost the money, couldn't get the phone but I learned a good lesson. Only stupid people get frustrated with a game they have absolutely no control over.

Your emotions are really the most dangerous thing when it's comes to gambling, anyone who cant control their emotions when gambling will likely lose alot of funds and i would advice such person to just avoid any serious gambling because the moment you get involve and you put your money into it, it will be like a glue especially when your first try was a loss that spirit of wanting to get back all your money start playing in your head and the moment it starts, it like a one way journey of no return and this only results to one thing more losses.

Ouch, how much was that lose you incurred? I guess that it is not that much to talk to.


Many of us thought of gambling can be a good way to spread and double our money but we need to depend on how knowledgeable and lucky we are. But most likely it's gonna be dependent on how lucky are we. We're easy to get angry when we're losing and that's why every gambler is experiencing this tilting stage of our gambling lives.

This is indeed the main thing that you would be able to encounter because we dont really like to lose and if you are that person who is really that impulsive when it comes to emotions then you would definitely easily
flip out on these conditions.There's no way that you would be able to avoid such condition or situation because we are just human beings which reactions like these could really be that normal.
Who doesnt really like on winning? Who does like on losing money? For sure if ever you are on a losing situation where it keeps on piling up the
kind of actions and reactions would really be just that normal.

Yes I experienced tilt quite a lot in the past and had to learn the hard way how to deal with it. Tilt was one of my biggest problems when I first started with gambling. Whenever I gamble I set myself a fixed budget to gamble with, once I reach that limit I have to stop. The problem for me was that after a losing streak I fell into tilt and bet all my money at once because I thought it doesn't matter anymore and I would have a chance to recover. In the end I usually lost all my money and felt really bad about myself. Tilt made me do something that I regret deeply a few hours later. The best way for me to deal with tilt now is to take a break. Forcing myself to step back and take a deep breath before making the same mistakes again.

Having a cool head in gambling is not something you learn overnight, even a long-time gambler will have a hard time keeping a cool head in a long game.


It takes character to call it a game and it takes a lot of losing and having the resolution to stop at the right time.

It's inherent in us we love to take challenges and prove that we can overcome challenges, we enjoy it when we are winning and promise that we will come back to win this time.

I always go into a silent "rage" mode, when I tilt.... which is not good, because I tend to deposit again and then I go into real "degen" mode, which puts me into a downward spiral mode with my balance.

A better way to deal with a losing streak should actually be to do a "rage quit" and to step away for gambling for a while, but I am not that kind of person. I tend to chase the loss... and that is my downfall..... but that is gamble.  :P

Actually I didn't rage whenever I lose but it definitely affects my mood for example if someone wanted to talk to me, I am really irritated and doesn't want to talk or speak to anyone and when I am alone, I kept thinking on the money that I lose and instead save it for something else like grocery or food. That's why it is really hard to play gambling if you don't have money or you see it to make more money instead of a leisure or as a past time.

People tend to play gambling just to get bring entertainment to themselves but this is not the real thing happens instead gambling makes them tilt and angry that towards every wrong decision they made has really bad consequences for their actions, of course when the player gets to win the emotions get happy, satisfied and fun because they see that their money is winning, it depends on the player there some player taken the game seriously that's why they get tilt when there are some mistakes happen that makes getting rage with those games, players or to themselves.  But if you are a kind of player taken the gambling positively and know the consequences already there's no chance you get tilt.

That's also one of the factor that makes us addicted to gambling, losing a lot of funds cause you to risk again to recover your loss and lead to another loss then cause you to be tilted. Being tilted will affect you in making such unnecessary actions and decisions without thinking. That's why its a good practice for you to control your emotions since you know the risk in gambling. For me I set a limit to my bets like $50 if I'd lose it all I'll stop for good to avoid myself getting sucked to the game. If I keep winning I'll just keep playing as I don't want to waste the momentum of my winning, but of course it's also a greed in your emotion if you'd know you profit already it's also a good call to back out earlier. Emotions will affect your thinking that's why emotional stability is needed in gambling.

Getting to lose money in gambling will affect our emotions, especially when we experience consecutive losses. We want to recover from that loss but we should stop for a moment and control our emotions so that we don't intend to recover because that will surely lead to another loss. If you don't want to experience big losses, you really have to be able to limit the money you use to gamble and always stop when you have lost several times and leave the casino.

Although it is possible, I would hardly believe that there is any single person here who gambled enough and still has not experienced getting tilted from the game (s)he played.
My tilted moments are those losing streak moments, especially when I do the Martingale strategy and lose in the end. Those are surely frustrating.

No matter how we control our emotions, there will always be times that we will feel upset because of our losses but if we will correct our mindset and learn how to accept losses, we will be able to move on easily. Losing a streak is very upsetting and could create different t emotions within us but we shouldn't let our emotions control us because it could affect our whole gambling journey and with high emotions, we can make wrong decisions easily.

Actually the emotion when you lose is a very natural thing, because it is one of the natural traits of humans. But don't let those emotions control us, not only in gambling, anything we do with our state of being controlled by emotions will end badly. Even athletes like football, if they play with emotion, their game will fall apart and they can't focus on the game. It's the same as gambling, of course emotions will make our losses more and more. For example, we can only lose $ 100, because we get carried away by the emotions of our defeat, so we will try to chase it, than we should have lost $ 100, we can lose more than that.

never experienced tilting a Slot game losing streak of several thousand spins without getting any scatters or bonus spins. at that moment I bought the bonus spins with the maximum bet and stopped because I lost my entire balance.
it's hard to avoid it but from my experience I can be more able to control myself not to chase losing streaks and always plan for the maximum loss to stop betting so that my balance doesn't run out quickly and come back again after a few days.

Oh, I see I mostly get texts from guys who are in subscription campaigns) It looks like I've become a source and place for texting ...for your subscription campaign assignments  ::) ::) ::)    I hope for your sincerity and that you have a good experience in gambling

To be silent is better so that people around you won't worry if what you are doing and what if they found out that you are gambling? They might get angry with us. Being silent when in rage mode is not the reason on why you re-deposit again but the problem is yourself because you might be addicted already in gambling.

A non-addicted person won't feel irritated but they can take it whatever the outcome they will get in playing the game. I never experience to lose balance in my seat or tilt when playing a gambling but I only tried tilting my phone's screens whenever I am bored playing Plinko. I know it's crazy but I was too desperate already for the ball to fall on the side and get that max multiplier :D.

I used to be too emotional whenever I lost in slot games when I was a beginner but as I go on with my gambling journey, I have learned how to take control of it. I agree that running or even just resting if we are experiencing loss streaks would be helpful.
What I do is I just set a certain amount of slots and stop when I got unlucky and lost most of it. Tilting is a normal reaction to frustration but we should still know how to manage it.

Same but I’m still become emotional whenever I lose since that still hard earned money. The only difference now is I can let go easily and be cool after the loss by doing other things to distract. Being AFK for awhile is the best working solution for me to counter emotional distress on gambling losses.

Answering the OP, it's common that we became tilted long term especially if you lose your profit that you accumulated slowly on your session. This intensify the need to increase bets just to chase loss quickly because our patience is so short when we are already on tilted mode.

They say silence is worth its weight in gold. In gambling, it's best to play your cards close to your chest. Nobody wants to end up like that unfortunate soul who went bust at the casino. Ouch, that's a tough break! But let's get real here, people - gambling addiction is a genuine issue. If you're seething or annoyed after losing, maybe it's time to reevaluate.

As for me, I'm all about playing it safe. I may not always score the jackpot, but at least I'm not down and out in a shady motel. Believe me, that's not a sight for sore eyes. If you're going to gamble, be savvy. Establish limits and stay true to them. And if you find yourself too engrossed in the game, pause for a moment. There's always another hand waiting.

Experience is the key. Not just in gambling, but in every other activity, once you are used to doing it, you will know what would be the better approach. Although shit really happened on the way, it depends on how far you will able to withstand it.

Besides, if you are winning continuously you will surely have a relaxed and cool mind while on your gambling session.


I doubt you will find a satisfying answer here since you are not a gambler itself. You will never understand until you're one of them. Gamblers have different points of view on why they gamble, whether they are newbies, casual, regular, professional, etc.

Better leave it that way. :)

To be honest, I'm mostly relaxed when I gamble. Sometimes, I even watch my sports betting games live on TV. I feel happy when I win, but even if I lose, I stay calm and take it in stride. There's no need for me to stress over gambling since it largely depends on luck
I only tilt when I'm really close to winning a large sum of money and end up losing in the last game. Unfortunately, I have experienced this before. However, I deal with it normally and just get a bit angry at first. But then, I forget about it the next day since I don't bet with high amounts of money.
There's a lot of people who enjoy gambling and see it as a hobby or a recreational activity that makes them feel good. However, it can also be addictive for some individuals. The allure of winning big with little effort is tempting, and it can be exciting at times imo.

I haven't experienced it in gambling because I set myself goals that I actually can achieve and if it fails I'm ready for it. Before the game I assess my funds, tell myself how much I can spend without regret and consider these funds lost. That's all it takes for me to remain calm.

I have experienced tilt though when playing online games, usually over things that I can't predict and that catch me off guard. For instance, when I played Dota, I considered myself good at the game. Not a pro level player, but above average, so when I started playing it was to win, not lose. Then there are random things like someone from your team dies and leaves the game and you have to play 4v5, or someone get tilted early and feeds the other team. Things like that make me want to punch someone, so I know what tilt is, but I keep it under control most of the time. 

You probably love your money too much and don't love it at all if you use the Martingale strategy. It's just like giving your remaining money away to the house when you lose one bet, that's basically how the Martingale strategy works, it's basically not a strategy that is useful for the gambler but it is one that is mostly in the favor of the house.

In the moments when you get a loss or maybe a couple, you should take a deep breath and start betting normally again instead of applying any strategy, and believe me, that will be much better than what you've been doing so far.

When I am gambling, most especially, playing slot games, and for some reasons, maybe I was losing too much, or I received a phone that isn't so good, so I lost interest, I just log out my account and end gambling for that day.
I have never experienced tilt in gambling so bad that I have to use the max button like some users are saying, I've always left what ever balance remaining in my account there, if by the next day, I feel better, I can always come back to continue from where I stopped.

I would advice this too. And preferably with a dog, to get your mind elsewhere. I sometimes require days to get my cool head back. There are ton of ways to deal with emotions and ton of books and courses for that so i am not going to get any deeper. In my case long walks in the forest. Doing something completely different that makes you happy and takes your mind elsewhere.

If you like gaming with your playstation or pc, that feeling can be similar to gambling. As you'll get to same kind of zone. But not same tactics work with every person. OP needs to find his/her own way.

Kinda normal thing when you become frustrated over the series of losses and you're struggling to win the back lol.
I'm not really a hardcore gambler, but I was a hardcore gamer back in time. I used to tilt when I get frustrated with my weak gaming performances, until I learned to gamble more often and I also realized that the emotional feeling was almost the same as when you're playing online video games. The only difference is that, you're gonna be spending more when you're tilting in gambling lol.

Almost every gambler and gamer might experienced this just out of frustration when you lost a bet or game and it's a very common thing nothing to be worried even in worst cases we might end up breaking our device whether it's a smartphone or laptop.

But on professional level it may happen in their mind level but they won't be showing cause it may damage to their name/ reputation.

Seldom I experienced tilt over the long game but yes I do experienced it probably due to the strain of being too long on the screen or other factor such as the gaming keep on baiting and do not actually give the bonus round for who knows, how many times.


It is quite hard to deal with it especially when we are losing our temper.  Often times I just take a deep breath and if it does not go away, I take a short breaker or end my session promptly.


Expect losses.  Consider the session as a loss so every winning can make us feel in bliss.


One best thing is control over oneself.  Do not let the losses and frustration control us instead control them ourselves by either quitting the game or taking a break then continue if our frustration cools down.

 

It is either to have fun or to take profit, or even both. 

When you are in public place then impulsive reactions could really be hidden up because we dont really like for ourselves to look like a fool or something laughable but there are really people who cant just be able to stop
themselves on the time that they do lose.They are really making actions which arent supposed to be done on public places but well we are really that different when it comes emotional or temper handling.
But when we are playing in online then for sure you would definitely be making out those gesture on punching or throwing up things but not all people would really be like that.
They would really be still having that good control but not all would really be that mindful about their actions.

Too much emotions can be very bad in gambling, this affects a lot of gamblers especially when they lose the money as we all know, its frustrating to lose money in gambling. I remember being bad to other people because I lose money, all my surroundings turns into a stressful thing, and that is my turning point that I should assess my gambling activities because if it get worst, I might be on trouble for sure. This is not a good attitude after all, you should be able to control yourself and be emotion less.

Making bad decision series on gambling can lead to tilt, so having backup plan can save the day on such situations, from my perspective. Making back to back deposits to chase green streaks so player can recover from losses of previous sessions can make it worse since it is infinite seeds on both slots or originals, just remember the house edge factor before making decisions and depositing life savings in the worst situation. Emotions should be ignored before gambling and stop when fun stops.

Emotions will not disappear in gambling games because emotions will make us continue to play and chase defeats which will only make matters worse. And I also feel it, but in this incident it will make us think well even though it is difficult, at least there will be thoughts like that, which one day we will correct.
and I try to play with the capital that I have prepared beforehand and will try to control myself when the capital runs out, at first it is difficult but if we have a stand and are firm with ourselves we will surely succeed. And for other reasons, when we play again with the capital that has been prepared there will definitely be a win. And stop when we are in a winning state and don't keep betting because this moment will test us to keep betting in the hope that we will win again which is actually a trap that will eventually lose everything.

and losing a lot of money while betting it will affect our attitude towards everyone because it is not easy to forget it, and maybe the way to forget it is to go on vacation or to a place we really like to forget about big losses.

^Definitely right and another way to avoid tilting into gambling.
As chasing losses with back-to-back deposits, can often lead to even more losses and a cycle of desperation. Keep in mind the house edge factor and the potential consequences of depositing life savings in the worst-case scenario.
Because for me, emotions can also play a big role in gambling, and sometimes good to ignore them before making any decisions. When gambling starts to become less enjoyable, it is ideal to stop and take a break. Bear in mind that gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money. With a clear mindset and a backup plan in place, you can ensure that your gambling experience remains safe and enjoyable without experiencing tilt in gambling.

People gamble because they want some cool extra cash and you should know that everyone loves whatever seems like free money..some other persons gamble for entertainment and for fun and some other persons take gambling as a full time job and the reason for gambling also greatly depends on the gambler itself..

Most times, people shouldet how not to gamble with emotions as this is singular act is capable of blowing ones gambling account and people really need to know when best to stake a game and also the best time of the day to stop gambling and just take some time off to make better predictions..
Whenever there is an situation that causes so much anger, I simply just bet a cup of beer to ease my nerves.

That doesn't sound sweet coming from a guy who is wearing a paid signature himself which is not yet paid since he applied for a campaign without having earned 5 Merits in the last 120 days (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326641.msg62090260#msg62090260) ::). One shouldn't blame others for something that he does himself too, that makes you a hypocrite.

It is better if you just accept the fact that you are also fond of signature campaigns since you want to get into one yourself to earn money while you post around the forum, so better not to target others for doing that :-X.

I didn't say anything unpleasant, it was just a fun fact) but you're being naughty and writing off-topic. :-[  You're just jealous that my topics are becoming popular) because they interest people.  And I do it not in order to get merit And here is your theme is not interesting at all and yet somehow it got credibility,  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5383084.msg59079371#msg59079371 I can only guess how ....) P.S. If I needed a reward I would have written in other places)

Sometimes we get tilted if we play non stop. We're getting tired but we keep on playing believing that we will earn more or on the other side we can get back the money that we've lost, these will consume our energy and make us tilted because we can't decide clear enough or we will are now going to do some impulsive decisions that will make us lose in streak and if you are feeling this thing it is better to step back and pause.

When a gambler is out of his emotions, there can be a lot of unexpected things to happen. Like losing everything that he's got within a span of a minute.
He can roll and reroll that in dice without thinking of the amount and just wanna go all-in because that's a YOLO mentality. There's no need for him to be wary because what's important to him is to rely on his emotion and that's already tilted him. It's a dangerous moment when he's got into that moment because as you've said when frustration comes you'll barely remember why you've gambled in the first place especially if it's for fun.

because sometimes there is an emotional phase that cannot be controlled when gambling and of course every gambler has experienced this problem when emotions are very high, get successive losses and finally all in.
this is what makes gamblers tilt which is caused by uncontrollable emotions.

All of us experience tilt in one way or another. Don't blame yourself if you do, it's normal.

I do feel it too at times, especially when I feel like the game is working against me. Like I'm doing everything I can to play it well and it doesn't give me even a bit of slack.
I'm sure you all had those games in dice where you have 5 lost ones and 1 win and again 4 lost 1 won and you feel hopeless because you were expecting the game to stay at least close to 50% and you're getting 25% wins or less.

The only way to defeat it is to calm down and do something positive, eat something, watch a movie, go to bed and wake up the next day fresh and with a lot of energy.

I can't agree more with you, but I will argue about if it's "normal" or not! :)


We who often gamble often fall into these tilt states, somebody would say it comes with a job, but in the end, the loss is on us in most cases. So it's "normal" for us who gamble to often experience "tilt", but "tilt experience" shouldn't be normal. We need to learn how to quit before that "tilt" moment comes... A bit tricky to explain, but I hope you all get what I wanted to say.


Tilting is bad, so yes we need a way to defeat it. Sooner someone finds that way will make more progress later... We all know that and I know that, but I still get carried away from time to time. Degen will stay a degen for a life I guess...

Being depress, frustrated with your losses can tells a lot and its not just a loss it can be consider as addiction because a responsible gambler will not behave like that though it might be an isolated case but if it happens to you again, I’m sure there’s already a problem. Once you go to casinos you don’t expect to win that much, you just go there to play and have fun, maybe that girl is too eager to win but the result is not good for her.

Yeah, but it if always something to us, then we feel that we might be cheated or everything is against us, so that feeling is really not good. However, most of us will insists that we still need to play and as a result, we lose more money because of 'tilting'.

Hard to defeat it unless we really snap out of it and realized what is happening.

So yes, once we overcome it, we should do something positive to feel better and reset and maybe come back again.

I agree with all mentioned points, it only should be for fun and nothing else. Some crazy dudes keep depositing and makes invalid arguments such as it is due or it can't go red forever but we all know final scenario. These addicted gamblers keep chasing losses then they hardly regret how bad decisions they have accepted without thinking twice before making b2b deposits. Sad but it is still actual problem in many crypto gambling platforms, only way is education to save these addicted gamblers.
