*Would you rather gamble before or after an important occasion in order to be careful not to spoil your mood?


*Do you care if you win or lose at gambling before an important occasion?

I gamble for fun, with amounts I can easily afford to lose, this means it cannot affect my mood and I can gamble before an important event.

If gambling influences your mood, you are too invested in it and should practice more responsible gambling, staking only what you can easily afford to lose.

This type of idea never came in my mind before. I am not a regular gambler, only very rarely I gamble and it's obviously in big tournaments which the whole world is watching. I don't think in any life event like in birthday, celebrating Christmas - I thought of spend some time in gambling. Family is more important in such occasions.

If the potential outcome of your bet will ruin your day, the you need to take a break from gambling because you are gambling out of emotions rather than logic and proper analysis.

I care if I win or lose. I am a human and not a machine. However when it comes to weighing it based on a important occasion, that is the least of my worries. My worries would be to ensure that I am not in a hurry to bet that I fail to get my analysis right.

When I am using just little amount of money to gamble. It can not have any effect on my mood. But if I have an occasion to attend, I may decide not to gamble because I may not even have the time to gamble at all.

I do not care.

I am never interested in gambling before an important occasion because gambling will never guarantee me a win so I don't want to do anything that might make me emotional or angry during my important occasion.

An important time has to be spent during the important occasion. So if i gambles then it can create a very bad experience for me. Because at that time if I can win gambling and profit then maybe that time will be more enjoyable for me. But if I lose the gamble then that moment will be very bad for me and maybe I will be very emotional and take various bad decisions. so I will take great care of this time and everything that happened to me during that time.

I usually don’t gamble anytime near an important occasion because it will always ruined your precious time experience on the actual event or after event if you will lose in gambling.

I’ve done both and the experience is terrible especially if you lose before the event since your mind will be busy thunking about what ifs on your losses so much better to just wait until you have a free day away from the important occasion.

There’s a lot of time to do gambling and remember that it’s not a necessity that we can’t skip.

If gambling may affect our mood in the negative way, we must evaluate ourselves because there must be something wrong with what we do in gambling.
Gambling should be done responsibly so it wont affect ourselves both emotionally and financially so it wont give negative effect to other things in our life.
If I have to answer the questions, no I dont care about the result of gambling although I did it before of after occasion because I know how to deal with the result.

Nope.

I don't get the idea why gambling treated like something that must be done? gambling is just extra activity because it's for entertainment, you can get other entertainment depends on what you like.

Gambling result shouldn't affect your next activity especially for important occasion, if you can't handle it, better to evaluate whether you gamble too much or not and check whether you gamble for money or fun.

If I lose my gambling, it doesn't get to me as it was when I started gambling the first time. Gambling is what you do without taking it to heart, because the results can go sideways, so wether I do it before or after an important occasion is immaterial. So in answering your question OP, I can gamble before or after any occasion without minding the outcome.

I have not really thought about this, but i do not really have to because i do not gamble with amounts that i cannot afford to lose, so losing a game wouldn't really affect mood, i would just get on with it. I think people who should be worried about something like this are people who gamble with so much money, and they even take gambling as a source of income; if that's not you, then it does not matter when you gamble.

Don't know if gambling is something important to you? For myself, it's just for fun, which means that when there is an important event, I don't think about gambling anymore, whether I want to win or lose, I don't care, because I will focus on the event.

So I don't have to gamble after the event is over or before, because gambling will be according to free time and when there is more money, I will never force it even though I know that the bet will win, for example in sports betting.

Definitely not. I always gamble using the money I can afford to lose so I can keep up my emotion as normal lever regardless of the result of my gambling on the important event but normally I don’t have time to gamble if I have something to do important due to I give priority on matters while gambling is just a source of entertainment for me when I’m bored.

Actually, I can still stay normal both physically and emotionally assuming that I will lose during the actual important occasion since I can let go all my lose immediately after a few minutes of ending the game.  ;)

it doesn't really matter if you're gaming before, after or during an occasion. Except you're a reckless gambler that gambles above your set out amount and play with what you can't afford to loose. If you only gamble with what you can afford to loose, you can gamble at whatever time and situation you find yourself in.
even though I always want to win in all my gamble, I've known gambling too well to understand that sometime I can also loose. I wouldn't say that It doesn't affect me at all whenever I loose, it does affect my mode and sometimes it has also reflected in the way I react to things few moment into my loss most expecially when while I made the gamble I was almost certain that everything was going to happen as planned.

The question is directed to those that gamble with emotions, because if I am gambling with in a small limits, there is no way the outcome of a game will affects my emotions in any ways, this is because I don't attach emotions to it, I just play the bet and enjoy whatever comes out from it.


If I have an important occasion to attend and I know I am playing a key role in that occasion, I will try as much as possible to stay away from gambling with that time so that I can concentrate when I want to gamble.

Some gamblers are good with not dwelling on any loss they make, they are very quick to move on and not let it affect any other activity they have for the day. If you are a gambler that still allow the emotions you face in gambling to affect your activities of the day you have to correct and check that character because it can be bad. On days when you lose you could unnecessarily transfer aggression to people who have caused you no harm and the people who know that your behavior is as a result of your gambling loss, it further paints a bad image for gambling to them.

It will depend on the occasion. Celebrations like birthdays and other religious festivals are periods of entertainment, so gambling might be fun before, during, or after it. What matters is that I am gambling with what I can afford to lose. Some religious organizations even organize events that are similar to gambling for fun and profits. Other occasions, like the burial of a relative or friend, should be solemn, so I would avoid gambling before or after it because I wouldn't be in a good mood to enjoy my game.

But I wouldn't care if I lose or win before an occasion since I am gambling within my budget. I don't attach much emotion to gambling, it could be disappointing.

As a Muslim I observe two Eid events in a year and everyone is very happy in this religious festival and we need a lot of money for Eid shopping. I remember one day before Eid I bet on a cricket match so that my Eid shopping budget would be over budget. But the sad thing is that I give a loss equal to 130 dollars before that Eid, so my joy of that Eid is completely ruined. Since then I don't participate in such bets before any event because a little greedy bet would definitely spoil the big fun.

It depends on the occasion. If it's a momentous occasion, then I prefer to gamble before that important occasion so as not to ruin the mood of the occasion. We have to be at our best when attending to important matters, and gambling might ruin that.
We know in gambling, there are a lot of unexpected things that are going to happen that might linger in your mind even hours after you leave the gambling table, so that's my preference.

Depending on your country LDL because using gambling money for such important sacrifice celebration in Islam, your worship on those day may not be accepted, I don't know any ways, but most of my Muslim friends stay totally away from gambling, some of them can even turn down jobs just because of the religious beliefs of Islam on gambling.
Any ways you kind of Person matters in religion while some are core devoted others just sees such EID period as just a time to celebrate, so it doesn't matter and you having such winning on that day is a great relief on your shopping budgets.

I always prefer to gamble after occasion because I wouldn't want a situation where I would have to rush my game or where my mood would be affected as a result of a bad gambling day.
 
But in some cases, there are some friends gathering events where I can just still be there, and I can just log into any of my bookmarked casino accounts with available funds in them and place a few bets on slot games where I just need to be playing without needing to do any calculations but just merely on luck.

If I'm focused on an important occasion, I'm not going to gamble. Important occasions demand attention and concern, so it doesn't look a good idea to distract myself with gambling meanwhile. Otherwise, I would be gambling, but my mind would be on the important occasion, so what is the point of gambling like that? When I gamble, I do this because there isn't anything else to worry about on the present moment, so I can fully dedicate myself to the activity.

I think every entertainment activities in life should be practiced like that. You have to be free to enjoy the moment. If not, the moment passes unnoticed. The mood thing shouldn't be an issue, though, since you are betting respecting your financial limits.

I also prefer to gamble after a y occasion so that I will not spend the money that I was supposed to use for the occasion on gamble. And gambling before occasion makes the gambler not to concentrate on what he's about to choose.

I've done both, but I prefer after the occasion because there's less distraction and I get more freedom to prepare for my session. I could focus on what games to play or take my time to research a specific match.

I still care about the wins and losses, but i'll eventually move on from it. I always try to stay within my limits so I don't get caught up with the results and let it get to me

That's right, bro, when we are going to face an important event, we will focus on that destination point, so our minds will be everywhere to prepare the event so that it is successful and runs smoothly. By gambling, we will not focus on the gambling we are doing. play it, because our minds are divided to make an important event a success, the thing we have to do is stop gambling before the important event is finished so that we can focus on one goal, it's better to finish the important event first until it's finished then gamble so we can focus on gambling that we play.

I rarely bet and when I do, I prefer to bet when I have time and I'm relaxed to help me make the best possible decision based on the odds. In this case, I'm focusing on sports betting, especially when my club plays.

If there's an important occasion like family, work or business, I simply bet at another time or day.

If I am the type that gets emotional easily, it is better that I don't gamble before any occasion because I don't know what the outcome of my bet will be let it not be that I will gamble more than the amount that I can afford to lose because of anxiety.

However, one should gamble for fun and at your own leisure time which means that anyone that is preparing for an occasion should not gamble because that is not a leisure time. This wl will enable you have rest of mind and gamble with time and not in a rush.

Depends on how important it is. I know for sure a gambling loss is going to affect my mood however hard face I am. So, if the ocassion is really important, I avoid gambling. But if it of less importance like a festival, gathering or small functions where I'm not the prime person, I don't care what I look like and it soothes me when I gamble. Even loss haven't ruined such ocassions for me but I'm still afraid to take risk on more important events and Incase I had a much larger loss. Also it's generally seen that when you expects a cashoutz you become a much more reckless gambler and trying to win more can make me lose the money I urgently need.

First in order to answer the question we should know what makes us spoil our mood.  If losing in our gambling activity spoils our mood then it is best to skip our gambling activity before the important occasion.  It is a no-brainer actually, unless we have a problem in our control over our gambling urge.

In case we can't control our gambling urge and despite the knowledge of getting frustrated after losing we keep on engaging in gambling, then it is really a huge problem.  Due to the Domino effect, we might end up petty because there is a huge possibility of not enjoying the important occasion and there is also a possibility of venting our frustration to others in just a simple misunderstanding.  If this is the case then we need to have ourselves evaluated by mental health professionals in terms of gambling control.

I gamble when I am in need of money. I don’t gamble to settle my mood. Now regarding the occasions, then they don’t play any important role, as if you are in need of money, then no matter what the atmosphere or occasion is, you just have to gamble to make that quick cash. But yes, it does make your mood sad if you lose your money and some event or occasion is nearby. But this is the part of life, and we need to go along with it.

I never really focus on my gambling. So if there is a very important event that I will do, maybe I can forget about my bet.
important events may not happen again, maybe they will happen for a long time. But I can do gambling anytime when I have free time.
we have the choice to play or leave for a while. Don't force yourself to always make bets if you don't have enough time.
if there are gamblers who do it, of course, the gambler must be someone who can adjust his mood.

I don't think my priority towards gambling is that high to take chances with gambling that may bring potential risks to me mentally and financially, I just do on occasions when I'm free and nothing to do and when some game that I really follow and I treat it as an important event too like your favourite team is playing the final against the rival team.


If I did then I'd care more about the lose of the game and it could affect me as I mentioned but I am pretty much sure I don't want to take that risks.

There is an important family event then will not think about gambling anymore, I don't want to remember it anymore.

Actually never do what you mean gambling before/after an important event then gambling will be put aside.

Usually if you gamble, it will ruin the atmosphere, especially if you lose in a gambling game, the atmosphere will not be calm, you will feel upset because you lost, so it's better not to gamble.

*Gambling should really be just that for fun but in speaking about mood and other emotioanal aspect then this is something that partakes on someone personal traits or behavior or whatever which is really that correlated.
Losing and winning in gambling is really that very common and its really that a little giving out that kind of bad impressions and you are really that expecting too much then disappointment would comes next.
If you would really be going into an important occassion then it wont really be bad on taking up gambling session or dealing with it up. We are all free on the things that we would really be doing
and on the actions that you would really be tends to do.  So if you do find you that you are really that too emotional then its likely that you would really be failing up on this one.

*Win or lose, then it wont really matter because on the time or moment that you would be finding yourself that playing gambling then better make yourself get prepared for whatever outcomes or results
that you would really be able to encounter. There would really be those individuals who are really that too easily be able to control themselves specially on emotion aspect.
If you are really that finding yourself having some temper or behavior issues then it wouldnt really be that recommended for you to play gambling whether after or before such
event do happen or simply having those issues about other some things.

I can't gamble in a critical situation, especially if there is an important event, especially if the event is related to family, of course I prefer to gamble after the event is over. Because gambling in an uneasy state of mind is not good, and usually if it is forced too much, you will experience consecutive defeats, this is caused by hasty decisions, sometimes we don't concentrate. I speak like this, because I have experienced it before and since then I have avoided gambling before events that I think are important.

Above I have experienced gambling before an important event and happened to lose continuously, and I didn't care. Because I want to quickly forget the defeat.

It depends, if the bet I place is quite large, then it is impossible for me to miss the result of the bet, even if I have an important event. Unless the amount of the bet I place is in a reasonable amount, even smaller than usual, then I will not care enough about the result of the bet, regardless of whether I win or lose.

It all comes back to priorities and how to view the bet. Where if the event I have to attend has a higher value or can even have a big impact on my personal life in the future, maybe I will prefer to focus on the event, even though there is a big bet going on. In this situation we must be able to make a decision as wisely as possible, because if not then bad things will soon happen to us.

It's better to gamble for fun so even if you have an occasion or not it's not going to affect your mood, gambling can only affect your mood when you are addicted to it or staking what you can't afford to lose.. gambling this way can make you highly emotional and once you start having this imbalanced mental state of mind you will always have mood swings when you lose, gambling shouldn't determine your mood
This is one one way to keep yourself in check

even though what you say is true, in every game or bet made there will still be hope of victory from the gambler. I think all gamblers expect to win, not just for fun. that's the reality.
if the results of the bet are not satisfactory and may change the mood, most likely the gambler is indeed used to gambling all the time. it has become a daily routine.
I think this kind of thing might happen to addicted gamblers. but if facing an important event, I'm sure human logic can also choose which activities can be prioritized.

As I understand this that there may be a special occasion or event and you want to gamble in order to make some money so that you can thoroughly prepare and enjoy that occasion. If that is the case, then we are gambling in a wrong way. If you are desperate to make money then you will most probably lose it.

Since gambling is risky and you do not know whether you will win or lose, how about not gambling right before gambling so that your mood remains good anyways  ;)
Some people will get sad if they do not gamble, hence this advice can't be implemented by everyone.  One should know his limits in gambling and then even the losses won't make you sad.  :)

So basically you gamble when you have to and don't gamble when you don't have to.  Since you participate in gambling targeting money, you primarily participate in gambling for income. Like you I don't take part in gambling only when I have to but one thing is unfortunate in my case that when I have to I can't win in the bet but when I don't need or don't have money then if I bet then I win in the bet. Sometimes I bet on gambling in various occasions but mostly I lose and after losing I go into my off mood and abstain from gambling for a long time.

I think if gambling has the potential to spoil your mood then you are risking too much gambling. Obviously if that is something that can happen you wouldn’t want to do it before a big event, or even at all. Gambling is supposed to be fun and entertaining. If you find yourself having negative experiences, you should find another form of entertainment to spend your money on.

I have never been this conscious of the events before me when gambling, whatever the outcome of my gamble may be, it always ends that day. This means, I do not really care if I win or lose before an important occasion. What I really care about is my state of mind as at the point when I gamble. If a forthcoming event tends to give me so much anxiety or disrupt my state of mind in any way, I'll choose not to gamble so I do not gamble with an unstable mind.

For those unlike me who are so passionate about gambling and are easily affected by the outcomes of their games, I would advise that they work on their emotions and separate their gambling life from their personal lives.

Doing this it means one have choose gambling to come first in his life. If a gambler is aware that to lose a game can make him to be unhappy that means their is no need to gambling.  If losing can change someone's mood it also means the person is not playing with the amount he can afford to lose, is either to gamble with amount you can afford to lose or not to even make any attempt to play. Normally is a game of fun that entertain people,  so even if one lose or win it should be a case to make one feel bad. Gamblers who take gambling very serious are addicted because it is a game that one shouldn't be serious about it because it is unpredicted.

This who know what they are doing when it comes to gambling shouldn’t be bother with this type of questions because their main aim is to have fun while gambling so it doesn’t matter if they gamble first before an occasion or not as long as they did it for fun then there shouldn’t be an issue with their mood.

Personally, I can gamble before a wedding event and still dance during the whole ceremony and still not feel a thing from my gambling session because I didn’t go beyond what I could afford to lose and also didn’t do it to make money but to have fun.

Most of you bring too much emotion to gambling. Gambling is a continuous activity that should be done with funds not budgeted for any urgent needs. In this case, there should be no connection of gambling to any major occasion especially on the emotional aspect which is what I suspect your post is direct towards. I remember when I was not a matured gambler, during festive period we usually resort to gambling recklessly with the hope that we will win big and enjoy big celebrations. Unfortunately, I have never won in such situation instead I usually have the worst experience of my life during those periods.

It’s like mixing business with pleasure- that combo can turn sour if you get dealt the wrong hand. If it’s something very important I would refrain from gambling, in the chance that you lose it’ll be all you can think of and you’ll dread the important occasion as a result with guilt and regret. That is the reason I wouldn’t do it. But if you just absolutely have to go spend $20 on the lotto like scratch offs or something so it couldn’t possibly deal any huge blows to your wallet.

I think I would rather never gambled before an important occasion , to be honest. It would not only about spoiling my mood with some consecutive losses which are very likely to happen on a casino. But also , because when there are planned occasions like those we talk about it is possible we all need to have some spare money to spend on it, regardless whether we are talking a birthday celebration , a vacacion travels, or an anniversary celebration etc.
Imagine how bitter it would be for one to have a fixed budget and Lossing it all to the casino because of the greed of the moment.

It is better just to expect the money one has on that particular event and then (one it is done) continue with the habitual gambling hobby.

Whenever I gamble, I always have a mindset that it's outcome is going to be 50/50, that is, it's either I win or I lose, and as such I don't always put my entire hope in it, but always try to be positive, while I expect whatever the outcome may be. Because one thing I have come to notice is that it's only when a gambler stake or wager an amount he/she can not afford to lose that they always get disturbed and worried about what the outcome of an even will be. But for those who gamble responsibly, they won't give it a second thought, most especially when they have an important event to attend, which is how gambling is meant to be.

I don’t really understand what you mean by an important occasion. And also, the only people that will feel bad after losing in gambling are the ones that gambled with so much money, or should I say, the ones that are addicted to gambling. I see no reason why a loss should change someone’s mood completely. If you know you are an addicted gambler, then it’s just better you stay away from gambling if you are having an important event, or it’s better you just gamble with a small amount of money.

I don’t really care about that, because I hardly gamble with big amount of money, most of my gambling is just with small amount, so lose doesn’t really affect me. 

Important occasion can have different meaning depend on the people theirself but the common important occasion which i know probably wedding moment, birthday moment or families gathering which discussed important things and if i have to facing the situations which i mentioned above then usually i will wait until these occasion finished and not to gamble on that day because those occasion is more important than my gambling activities


I think people have already know about this that lost or win it has nothing to do with important occasion because the gambling results for each people it depend on people luck but because i am not regular gambler and only gambling with small amount of money then lost doesn't really matter for me

Gambling to me is something for entertainment; I will not just wake up in the morning and the first thing to do is gamble. If I have an important occasion or event, I will of course like to be done with it before I analyze games to place bets on or play casino games.

The only time I will gamble or place bets before an important occasion is if I have already done the game analysis before the day of the event or occasion.

For me it is always after an important occasion.The reason is simple and is to know your odds when gambling,despite what RTP says or other persons say I know that my chances are 99% to lose and only 1% to win and this is on an optimistic prediction of how my session will go.I also know that I cannot cheat in showing different feelings than those that I am feeling and when I lose in gambling,depending on the way I lose I get mad,for example if I lose all my money in ten consecutive buy bonuses in a slot machine and all goes lost I know I will not feel well at all after such happening and because of this reason for me it is always after an important occasion.

If you bet very often you won't get affected very much if your bet loses right before an outing or a celebration, even if it's a fairly large amount of money. You'll mostly get affected when you undergo long losing streak and during those moments you will be less likely to schedule such things or to accept invitations. So if you must attend an important event such as a wedding from a close friend or a close family member, it can be a good idea to bet less frequently and smaller stakes during the period before the wedding.

But we need to ask further, what kind of important event is being referred to, because this could be a misunderstanding.

However, I always gamble in my free time with a free mind without any other thoughts that I should take seriously such as “important events”. And even if there is an important event and I want to gamble at that time, I don't care about winning or losing that affects the mood, the most important thing is that we use the money that we can lose only so as not to affect emotions and have a bad impact on what we will do after gambling.

Why force your self to gamble if you know you can't really or possibly make good strategy in haste. If you are going somewhere or in an occasion like you said, then you should let everything have its own time. Gambling should be done at your leisure time where you have little or less to do and put your focus on. This way you would b able to plan out your game and avoid losing. Though I'm not saying that planning would determine your wins but then it would give you this odd that your game might work out well and come out with a win.

What exactly do you consider to be an important occasion? A job interview? Wedding? Going on a date? Business meeting?

I would never gamble before important occasions. I would probably be too nervous and anxious to care about gambling. My life isn't stressful at all and there aren't many important occasions for me to show up.

Why do you ask about gambling after an important occasion? There shouldn't be any problem playing gambling games after the occasion.
Maybe you should change the "before or after" part in your question.

I haven't given a thought about it either because I'm not a regular gambler and when I gamble it's with the amount that I can afford to loose. I think that it's people that gambles with a lot of money that it can affect their mood if they lose before an important occasion. However if loses affects a gambler whether they gambled with huge or small amount then it's important for such gamblers to consider if they should gamble before an occasion so it doesn't spoil their mood. Gamblers should practice responsible gambling by betting with the amount that will not affect their mental well being. Also it's not proper to depend on gambling as a source of income, it'll always put you in a bad mood anytime you lose.

I guess you are too much attach in playing gambling because you sink in your mind to gambling while there's an important occasion, personally, I don't mind gambling for a while and focusing on the occasion because gambling is right there. Still, the experience you will get on that special occasion is price less. We know gambling can give a different hit of emotions, if you gamble first and you experience consecutive loss for sure you will get irritable and annoyed before going to the occasion but gives you a different mood and perspective to other visitors, if you gamble after the event and you are not feeling well due to some circumstances like tired, drunk and etc. and you play gambling possible you made a mistake due to lack of your consciousness.

I've felt it in the past and it's probably true for most people - losing a bet can really alter your mood, sending it negative even if just for a few minutes or hours. Depending on the importance of the event, I'd personally stay away from betting in the run up to it because you might end up having less fun or take your feelings out on others, which might even change the whole outcome. Unless you are talking about something like going to watch a football match and then betting on the outcome, that is different and can make you more invested in the game. Many people over estimate how much they can control their emotions in this scenario, better just to steer clear and you'll stay happier for it.

I always gamble when I in calm and comfortable condition and I not tied to several things such as certain activity that are quite important, so I can really feel the pleasure and satisfaction in enjoying the game session or bet that I choose.
In addition, it can also provide conditions such as focus on what I do in gambling and the possibility of being able to maximize every opportunity that exists, so it is clear that gambling after an important activity is my choice.

Whatever the result will always be the main concern for every gambler, I do gamble just to have fun but will also pay attention to the results that occur because that way I can take the right attitude and steps for the next.
It just that I very rarely and almost never gamble before finishing all the activity I have from each day.

If gambling continues to increase with big occasions, it is worth reflecting on how that might impact your general mood and experience. If you gamble on the run-up to something important, the result can affect how you feel about yourself and your emotions and feelings about the future. Success gives you confidence and morale boost, but defeat may leave you depressed or disappointed before an event so take only what you can risk. On the other hand, to bet after an important event will save you from being distracted or emotionally influenced by the outcome of your game, you can experience it without the potential pressure of satisfaction affecting your experience. But for me of course i gamble for fun and entertainment and always after the event

Is there is an important occasion, I would not gamble around that time. Because the outcome of the gamble may be good or bad, mostly bad, I would not want it to be the reason to spoil my mood in the occasion.

Not being able to control this means you are addicted to gambling and it is not just a "having fun" thing.

This goes with the "taking back control" in your own hands mindset, as people grow older and start to get more responsibilities in hand they try to escape from them using different methods like playing video games, gambling, drugs and alcohol - all vices essentially, but being the one who is prudent and retains control and organizes stuff into how they are to be dealt with is the type of human we should all try to be.

No not really. Now if I lose a gamble FOR an important occasion then yes. But if it was an event completely irrelevant to the bet, then I don't think why it should even relate. Yes, it can spoil my mood but I don't think I'd consider it bad enough to the point where I'd consider my entire day ruined. That's just... a sad way to live the day lol.

But anyway, if I were to pick, definitely after. I mean I don't think I would even gamble in the first place during the mornings, usually only at the after hours when everythings done in my day.

It has been a rare case I have experienced my mood changing to gambling all because I had a loss or won bet. Since I normally prefer gambling in my leisure time, I don't usually lay much emphasis on gambling that I must win before quitting gambling for the day. That attitude of gambling in my leisure time has embedded in me not to focus too much on gambling results in bets when I have an event to attend thereafter. Even if I decide to gamble before going for an occasion, I don't think it will affect my attitude for the day because I normally set aside little money I can afford to lose. That step alone helps to keep my mood in check not to go bet beyond my limits or get moved by emotions to gamble to recover my losses before stopping gambling

Actually before there my special occasion begins, I always gamble because it's one way to entertain myself in short time. If you avoid to gambling before special occasion or something serious, you should ask yourself whether you gamble for fun or money.

If someone gamble for money like a professional gambler, they're not wrong. But, if they can't make money from gambling and their intention are to make money, they should do self introspection.

It will depend on what you are gambling for: if you are gambling for fun and to pass the time, that is, without a clear strategy, but only to spend a small amount of money on slots (if you are lucky, then good, and if not, then the loss is not great), then I don't see anything bad. But if the goal is to increase your deposit, then the upcoming important event may interfere with concentrating on tactics, which may prevent you from achieving your goals.

There is a difficult dilemma here:
- if there is a win, it will create a positive mood, which will have a positive effect on the upcoming important event.
- if there is a loss, it will create a negative mood, which will adversely affect the perception of the important event.

It seems to me that if you decide to gamble before an important event, then should do it in a light and relaxed entertaining form with minimal stakes in order to while away the time and have a good time.

Those who don't gamble just for fun possibly as a means of income or those who took gambling too serious will never attend any important occasions before gambling and even if they attend they will never stay till the ends of the occasion probably they might even gamble with an amount that they can not afford to lose hence they will prioritize gambling other than any other activities within such time frame. However, with the experience that are are being shared here I have really learnt alot including gambling with only an amount that I can be able to afford to lose and just seeing gambling as a game and nothing to be taken too serious in other not to be emotionally devasted when things goes in the opposite direction. Answering your questions, as for me I can gamble before and after any important occasions without being bothered either in winning or Lossing because I stick my roles.

I am a social gambler and if the occasion calls for gambling then I would do it. If not then I would not gamble as I do not do gambling but betting in cricket.


As I have said earlier it depends on the occasion. All social gambling events that I participate is with friends and that is the reason it does not matter if I win or lose.

I gambling when ever I want because I gambling for fun although at times I can gamble because I want to double my money. I can gamble before or after an occasion. Since I play more of sport betting and football to be precise, I always have to gamble before I go to an occasion or after I come back depending on when the matches are being played because the games get played during the weekend more. Occasional I gamble while in the occasion because to book a game does not take much time because I can do that on my mobile phone unnoticeable. For people who still get offset from gambling, they need to work things out before it cause them damage because there is always a certainty that you are going to lose when you gamble at times therefore you should be used to that already.

I think this topic is about a person who would risk to have a bad mood, feel disappointed, stressed on upcoming important occasion because of gambling loss. Since I consider gambling as fun, or a time killer, I could gamble before something important. Also I am not much of an superstitious person. I dont believe that gambling can hurt me anyhow before something important.

It was before or after the occasion. But actually, for me, I have no issue with that. I mean, I can gamble anytime because I know how to control my emotions. As long as we don't spend too much time gambling and know our limits, I think we should be fine. Regardless of how you view gambling, whether it's just for fun or a way to make money, it's very important to understand that it isn't our life and should not affect important occasions in our life. We play with numbers and should not invest emotions in it.

Yes, I try to take a break from gambling before an important event. Because if I lose before an important event, my mood may change. Though I don't bet more than I can afford to lose. I try not to bet before a specific event. And when I place a bet I don't worry about winning or losing. I think if luck favors me I can definitely win. Besides win or lose anything can happen. But what I have seen with other gamblers is that they place bets before a particular event. They think that if they can win at that time then they can spend more for that particular occasion or event.

Hmm... It is really a decision of having deep breaths before deciding. Funny enough that it has been some terms by which we passes through aser keep to gamble but making it as options as this seems a food for thought because a lot has to be considered.

Knowing that if you are so emotional when you looses or wins your bets, any of the options would really have effect on you because when you gambles and looses before adhering to your important events, it could ruin the rest of the day for you and when you wins, you would fell excited all through the event duration if not even for the whole day.

The occurance of the event could portray some of technical thoughts to make better decisions or could ridicule our decision as we set to gamble afterwards but depends on the resultant of the event.
It all depends on individuals.

I had a teacher who was a big fan of a football team and, looking at his face on Mondays, we knew if the team won or lost the match on Sunday. I don't know if he gambled or not, but some people's mood can be heavily impacted by such events, so I agree that they should be careful and not gamble hard before an important occasion.

In my case, I don't worry a lot about my bets. I don't put on stake great amounts either, so I can afford to be with my family or friends in a special occasion and see the notification that I lost a bet. It will impact me for a few seconds and I'll forget about the loss fast.

Maybe the volatility of Bitcoin is different: I admit that I feel more down in bear markets, and more happy in bull markets, even if I don't plan to sell at that moment.

Usually I don't actually gamble when there's important occasion that will happen in next day. Since I don't want to spoil the fun and get stress on situation if I lose my bets. So to avoid getting those negative vibes and possibly to bring positive spirit on occasion I decide to pay attention first on the event since we can gamble anyway after everything is done.

But I know some people doesn't care about the events and could able to gamble. I see them doing fine and I think having negative effect will always depends to the person on how they handle the situation. Since if they are type of person who easily get frustrated then expect bad things with them. But also if they are cool and know how to handle the situation they are facing then somehow everything is good in their side.

Does the important occasion include an exam, a wedding party, graduation party, funerals, national holidays, a conference presentation? These are all important occasions for me and gambling is not the top on my priority whenever these events are near because there are so many crucial  things to plan that I don't even think about gambling. I may decide to gamble after the event but then it has nothing to do with my mood at that time.

Do I care about winning or lose? No I don't because I would naturally not even have it in my thought radar at that time.

Losing at gambling do makes us upset but if the loss is bearable then it won't impact us very much.
We will be able to control our emotions and hence our mood won't be spoiled before the occasion.
I follow the same which is why I don't care if I lose in gambling before any occasion.

I gamble whenever I want, whether in good or bad mood or if after or before an occassion. It doesn't matter specially if I don't want to miss a match that I like the teams or players that are going to play.

Not at all but who wants to lose during important occassions? We all want to win and that's why as much as possible, please don't ruin yourselves because of the bets if you're going to attend an important occassion. Just bet casually, enjoy your occassion and so as your bets.

I also gamble for fun. But I like to gamble more after events that make me happy. I think I feel more hopeful at such times. And my mind is more relaxed. I don't usually gamble before important events. Because I don't believe that I can make the right decisions when I'm nervous. I try to be in tune with my mood. That's what I usually do. But there are times when I go beyond that. I think we should always try to do what makes us happy. And I think gambling should be part of that.

I don't know what this question is for but I think it did happen to you. Am I right?

Important occasion. That tells it all. It is too important that we don't want to do anything but only focus on that occasion. Let's say it's my kid's birthday and it will be held in my house or an event room. Would you really gamble first before the big event? I don't think so.
By doing that, there's a chance that you will be stressed out when you are losing and it's not a good thing especially if you want your kid to be happy because it will be added to his memories.
Do you really want to be remembered as a Dad who is frowning, stressed, frustrated, and regretful? You don't want that because somewhere in the future it might go back to you.

When one becomes immersed in a sport and neglects personal, family, social or economic duties when it becomes harmful to oneself or others. Gambling is actually a game of luck so it is better not to dream too much before betting here. Because when you dream of doubling money and it is not fulfilled, your mood will change. In many cases, the whole person gradually changes. The day passes by with unusual behavior aside from normal movement and work. But i am completely free from this issue because i don't gamble with much dreams.

For me that was addicted to gambling and have experienced the effects of gambling, there's no way I'm ever gonna fault any part of your submission because in it is contained the day to day experiences of gamblers who fail to regulate and control their gambling engagements. When a gambler allows his gambling activities to affect his primary duties it becomes very dangerous for not just himself but to people around him. When you gamble wrecklessly and lose money, there's no way it'll not affect your emotional feelings and other engagements of the day so to all gamblers, it's expected of us to take in to consideration how deep our gambling engagements affects our day to day life.

          -      If the intention or motive of a gambler is just for fun and entertainment, it doesn't matter to them whether they win or lose, because the only thing that matters to them is that they fulfill the desire they want to get by playing gambling in any casinos.

But of course, if the gambler's aim is to collect a jackpot or win, they will depend on luck that while they wait for that, when they lose, for sure they will chase their losses in the end.
Where most of the time the player lose in their games and got nothing.

It depends. If the occasion is just a few hours, I will avoid it as it might ruin the critical occasion. I prefer to do it after the occasion so there will be no distraction when I am betting, thinking  I have an essential occasion to attend to, and it might ruin my bets.

I am very emotional after my gambling session, my emotion is very obvious after I gamble I could ruin it if I do it a few hours before the occasion.

I playing gambling when I don't have anything to do and that will be my free time which I don't use it for anything. I don't like to playing gambling before or after an important occasion because that can ruin my mood especially when I lose in gambling. If I playing gambling in my spare time, that time will not disturb my activity because I don't have to do.

We don't have to risks our mood because of playing gambling because we don't knows if we can win or lose so we must choose the right time to playing gambling. By doing that, I think we can prevents something that can spoil our mood if we lose our money because whether we realizes or not, that will effect to our emotion. We must have a time to playing gambling because we want to relax and enjoy the gambling games.

i better avoid gambling before an important event just to keep my mood from being ruined when my gambling doesn't go as i expected. because i can't be sure whether i can win, and there's a big possibility that i could lose, and before that happens it's better for me to avoid it and prefer to gamble on another day. besides, there's nothing urgent that i have to gamble at that time, so it's better to postpone it and find a more appropriate time to gamble.

depends, it depends on how a person is in his/her situation and condition. I am not saying for sure, because sometimes something small can affect our mood. either it becomes passionate, or even discourages. I am speaking in general, so not only from a gambling perspective. now we focus on your question, whether gambling before an important event can affect a person. it can, but it depends on the win or loss at that time. changes in a person's mood can occur even from trivial things, whether it is fun or makes the mood bad. but in the context of your thread, try not to gamble before an important occasion. the answer has been said, why, so that the mood is not ruined. this is the worst case scenario, because if our mood is messed up, it will clearly harm us. at least, we have this kind of experience in gambling. that's why, I said not to gamble before an important occasion.

I can also be affected by various successful or unsuccessful bets, because I can think about it throughout the day or even a week. Unsuccessful bets can undermine our self-confidence and indirectly this can affect us at work or even in communication with the opposite sex. I still prefer not to play before important events in order to keep my mood without hesitation. There are probably players for whom this does not affect at all, but then what kind of pleasure do they get from the game if they play without residual worries. In general, emotional and sensitive players are better off not playing before important events.

I am with you there. It's just more convenient and easier this way. Time will come, but the opportunity to have a good time may be lost due to the important occasion shifting the usual behavior.

I don't get affected by my bets because I don't bet too much and what I do bet is usually my money to waste. Each of us probably have something like that. You get a bunch of money every month from whatever it is that you do and you spend a percentage of that on the things you like. After paying all my bills buying food and all that I usually have 20% left to spend on whatever I want. I'm not stupid and I don't gamble it all away but it's the money that allows me to go to a movie, eat in a good restaurant once in a while and all that. If I waste 1% of that pile, I won't even notice. There's not going to be as much beer in the fridge or I won't buy a new game on steam, that's all. So, I gamble before important events, it doesn't matter.

Maybe that's true for us, but I believe, a lot of gamblers here are aiming for a big win before an important occasion. Why? Because they can use that money for that occasion. Also, who would not want winnings even if there is no occasion?
But on my end, I only gamble extra money these days. As I have experienced a lot of loss when it comes to gambling, I promise to myself that I will only use extra funds when it comes to this addictive activity. So even if I used it all up, I know, it won't affect my financial budget.

To enjoy gaming, be savvy. I love challenges, but I dont waste money. I know when to quit and never gamble more than I can afford to lose.

Gambling doesnt promise rapid riches. The adrenaline rush, thrill, and experience matter. A roller coaster ride has ups and downs, but you're there for the excitement.

While winning is fantastic, its not everything. Journey, decisions, and lessons matter. Remember to have fun, be responsible, and most importantly, be classy whether gambling at the casino or online. Because its about the experience, not the money. Smart gamblers always have fun.

That's completely true, unless the event that we are preparing for is not serious or important. If not, gambling before going for that event might jeopardise everything that we might want to plan for that event, because at the end of every gambling season, one might end up either being very happy due to the result they got from the game or they can be a bit sad based on the disappointment that the last game gave them, which can affect their state of mind and how they will relate to others in the event they plan on attending.

Exam period are special moments I don't joke with, I don't see friends too much talk more of gambling because I don't like anything that do take my attention and for that reason, I don't like gambling in such period and not because it will spoil my mood but because it takes much of my attention. Like double tasking my head with exams and also thinking about which way to win and the options I can play with just win the casino, that's relationship doesn't sit well with me.

When I gamble, I don't think of anything that comes before or later because I'm not sure there is anything about gambling that will affect my lifestyle. It's not like I'm putting my life savings into it or I'm putting all my hope into it. If it comes fine, if doesn't that's fine but it will never affect my productivity or unexpected things that might comes later.

I will be honest with you in this matter, even that I play and gamble for fun but my mood can be affected if the gambling session goes bad and lost money on it, especially when a big important occasion is coming. However, it doesn’t really affect me to the point where I play more or blame myself for playing, it is just my human nature feeling bad for losing, even that I had fun playing.
More people are joining gambling in our region, and unfortunately their mood is always bad because of losing on their betting or gambling session. The thing which I find very dangerous for new player to get much affected in first days which means there is a possibility of getting addicted.


Answering your question in short, Yes I do care if losing or winning before important coming occasions

You are a model to strive to be. Hobbies are one thing, other, sometimes serious stuff - is another cake. Keep it up, and thanks for your thoughts!

The fact that I lost money especially if it were such I wasn't willing to loose at the time is enough to affect my mood so I will rather not even gamble before the event or occasion than say I want to use small amount that I don't mind loosing especially few minutes to the event, I don't like been in an unstable state of mind before important occasions and so I will not want to give room for such for any reason, I can always gamble but may not be able to always meet up with such an important occasion so i wouldn't risk ruining my chances for any reason.

I can feel also the same thing. I don't want my emotions to ruin that moment when I am going to an important occasion. I should gamble after the occasion so that I won't have any problems at all fighting my heart and mind towards my losses and the happiness that I've gained from going to any gathering.

My mood is setting the floor and that's why I should avoid any problems before I gamble. I don't want to gamble with full of emotions and have bad mood.

It's not worth it at all so kudos to those that no matter what they feel, before or after the event, they gamble.

I think almost the same to you as I can't rely on any uncertain bets as I have no guarantee of winning. I always try to avoid such bets on any particular day because a win or a loss can have a different effect on me. If I am in a bad mood on a particular day it can be sad for me. If I bet at that time my bet amount is so small that losing would have no effect on my normal activities. I usually refrain from betting on special days which helps me to bet better in the next bet.

I'd rather just enjoy the entire occasion and leave it at that, I wouldn't want to dull the enjoyment I feel before or after I get to the function by gambling and losing it all. And I would highly suggest you do that as well, rid yourself of the urge to gamble when you get to an important event cause when you lose that's all that you'll be able to think about, whether it's before the event or after. And besides, why the hell would you take that into account in the first place? Can't you just have fun without having to gamble like a normal human being? Does everything you have to do's supposed to be tied or connected somehow with gambling? Cause if that's the case you might wanna check yourself, that's a telltale sign of someone getting addicted to gambling my friend.

With or without an occasion, I actually gamble as long as I have spare money. Which means I’m okay losing it as long as I got entertained as well, but it would be more exciting if I end up winning from my bet. However, in times I think I’m not in the mood to lose some amount most especially when there is incoming occasion that will require some of my funds, I just don’t gamble at all to save my funds from the possible losses in the end.

Few years ago I hard my years ago, I hard my day of profits while in the church for my occasion, although I already opened the trading positions so me days before that day, but coincidentally that was my most Lucky day as I made the amount of profits that I have never hard before and, I opened the position on a depravation trade and with Bitcoin and when the total outcome exceeded my Target I hard to pull out and close the trade to take my profits, so cryptocurrency is a game of luck and chance so taking advantage of any market situation is the key to your winning at all time.

I rarely play when I'm tired, irritated or nervous due to some situation that occurred in my day.
Believe me, negative events or feelings significantly affect my performance in gambling games and that's why I prefer to avoid betting on these occasions... I prefer to go for a run, go to the park or go out with friends to drink... it's much better than that. than to bet money.

I don't play to make money, I play for fun and I believe that this should be done when we are in a good mood, both to protect our money and also to make the most of this moment.

I won't lie if I say that, yes, I won't risk playing at this time. And it won't only depend on whether the game will be successful or not. If I have something important to do, or I'm waiting for something to take seriously, then I don't allow myself to relax at these moments. Gambling is interesting for me at those moments when I don't have any problems, when I can have fun and boldly spend a certain amount of money, regardless of my life budget.

It doesn't matter to me because I would rather risk just a small amount of money rather than staking a huge amount that will ruin my mood if I lose. In as much as i stake on some soccer game, expecting to make profit, the real policies of gambling is still registered in my head and some of the policy advices the gambler not to stake more than they can bear to lose. Knowing fully well that winning is not guarantee, I wouldn't risk so much.

The definition of "important occasion" requires in this topic. Everyone measure occasions with their own level of importance. For someone important occasion is not mission a flight might be, but on the way to the airport (if a person is not driving), there is nothing bad if a person gambles to kill time. But if someone is about to have a surgery on his heart, gambling isnt recommended. It regards from the situation and view on gambling, like you have said.

Admitting that winning in gambling is on the probabilities based of lucks, we just need to trim our emotions in a manner that it does not affect our daily activities at any course of winning or loosing and if it is possible to be achieved, then gambling after an important event or occasion is preferable because we would need time in preparation to catch up with the event by which gambling as a game of fun should not become a distraction to us and then we can gamble at convenient times after attending to the event because by then, we can relax to relax our minds on gambling.

I would restrict myself from gambling before  any important ^{(sure for me)} event because of the strain in my mind ^{(and body, sometimes)} that could last after gambling. But after such occasion, ^{(if I not feel  extremely tired to have a rest)} why not. I was always amused that some people think that gambling is a big deal. In fact it is not. One has to exploit  the fullest potential of his life. This is my credo. ;)

Playing gambling after an event will be better because we can relax ourselves after the busy days. We will not thinks about the event and only want to have fun and enjoy our time. We don't need to playing gambling with a rush especially if we will go to an event because we need to make preparation for that event.

If we can separate the needs and know how to choose the important thing and relaxation, We will have a chance to enjoy all event in our life so we don't have any problem to pass every day. If we push ourselves to playing gambling before go to an event, that will make us in a hurry to finish the game and when we lose, we will think that lose and can not focus with the event.

We should care with all things that we do including our gambling activity so we can be wise to treat gambling. We don't need to playing gambling if we have a list to do in our daily life.

I think that's the best strategy we could have if there's an upcoming occasion where it is us who will be doing the spending.
We cannot just gamble it all knowing that the food and the drinks are on us and it will probably frustrate our guests if we do that. Much better, don't gamble at all and just finish the occasion first.
I know there are gamblers who would test their luck so they can double their money for that occasion so that it will be more extravagant but still, the chance to lose it all is there especially with the risky environment of gambling.

I don't take gambling too seriously although I participate in occasional gambling but my stakes are not very high. Especially I never participate in gambling before any important event or festival especially I have to manage everything with my family income money in this case I can never participate in gambling with the money allocated by family members. Especially before our religious ceremony we never waste money especially the money allocated for buying new clothes and food if we gamble from this allocated money and if we lose in that case then the joy of our festival will be completely ruined.

No, I don't care about important events, I gamble on my own will and thinking and I do that whenever I want, sometimes I also place bets on important events taking place, in essence: it doesn't affect me, as long as I see a good opportunity, of course I will do it.

As I said above, winning and losing have nothing to do with important events, I always care and concentrate on wins and losses, I like being able to differentiate gambling from important events, so it doesn't really affect me.

Sometimes losing badly after an important occasion especially if you really enjoyed will give tremendous sadness that can erase the good memories on the important occasions. Happened to me once and never do it again.

Gambling is really not a big deal but it surely give a huge impact in our life if do it on crucial time of our life since losing money is always give us a heartache regardless of the amount.

The intensity just depends on the amount we loss but still we do feel it badly.  :D

just enjoy gambling as you do now. it will keep you from gambling which can put you in a difficult position. especially if you are going to do an important event, it will only make your mood bad if you lose. you have to know the right time to play or not play anything. However, losing in gambling can change you. if it is very close to the event, it is better not to gamble when the situation is like that.
using money that has been allocated or given by family is also not a good choice. it will only make the situation difficult when you actually can't return the money. if you have money then you can bet, if not then there will be no gambling. never force the situation.

Good gambler have to think very well and also it's strategies to gamble, so I believe that gambler need to have a statistics of gambling and also have budgets so that no matters what it's has gambles nothing will affect him or her, why we talk about occasion for gambling is because we have not planned gambling very well, as a gambler whatever you gamble no suppose to affect because you are gambling with what you can afford to lose, secondly what we are suppose to gamble with so that it will not trouble you that much is a spare money, and in any occasions you have or anything you have to celebrate you will do so with understanding.

Important events in my opinion have many types and meanings. If the important event is like what I think, then my answer is yes I will play after the important event.
Actually it doesn't always depend on before or after because the most important thing is to play when you are in a good mood.

It is important and does not depend on the initial motivation to play. I don't really care about the results. I consider winning a bonus while losing is a result that I definitely get.

Why would you even think of gambling before or after the occasion? It's like telling yourself that you will always gamble no matter the event. It's always going to be like that. But anyway, let me answer hypothetically.

It would depend on how important it is to me. If it's really important, I would gamble after the event to ensure that I don't affect my mood during the occasion. But I would do it during the event if it's not essential and I have extra money. I wouldn't mind it.

People who gamble during an impotent occasion are undoubtedly addicted to gambling because they may think about gambling during that important occasion. There is a process to go through from gambling winnings to withdrawing them, the most difficult process is to keep yourself away from greed and emotions, keep yourself satisfied with a small amount of winnings and withdraw gambling winnings from gambling very quickly. I take every single minute of an important occasion very seriously so I will never waste my important time by gambling. So I definitely care a lot about winning and losing here at that time

Actually gambling depends on many factors. For example if a professional gambler then his thinking will be one and if an amateur gambler then his thinking will be different. Now if a professional gambles before an important occasion then losing there will definitely affect him because he will think through this gambling how to profit from it and enjoy in the days to come whereas an amateur gambler will take it as fun and  It is least likely to have any negative effect on him. But then he will be reluctant to do it and I think the interest may decrease. And it really depends on people's thinking. The fact that he is gambling with any thought is much more important here. But I don't think it will affect me much.

I think I can say for sure that people who gamble at the wrong time are people who are most likely addicted, we can see that they are pushing the situation too hard, or I mean forcing to gamble at the wrong time, or maybe you could say that they can't spare a single moment to not be involved in gambling.

If the question is when is the best time to gamble when someone is faced with an event, then it is actually best not to gamble at all at that time and rather focus on the event that you have, and yes as you said that maybe it can also depend on how important the event is, and gambling before the event or after the event I think it is certainly better to gamble after you have finished the event regardless of whether the event is important or not, it will not affect your mood during the event

Gambling should indeed be considered as entertainment only, not something that distracts from focusing on the important things in life. However, there are times when it is difficult to really enjoy or focus on important events when there are bets that have not been settled.

Therefore, I always try to convince myself that this is just a hobby, not a top priority. Your mood should not depend on the outcome of a bet, especially when there is an important event that requires your full attention.

To overcome this, I try to re-arrange my gambling time outside of important moments, so that I can enjoy both without disturbing each other.

With a hope of being able to maintain a balance between entertainment and responsibility, and ensure that important events get the attention they deserve without being distracted by thoughts about gambling.

Usually it is since no people will gamble if there's special occasion that they need to attend. For sure they would pass that they and just pay attention to current events. If they can't stop their self to gamble even if there's some occasion happening then I guess that they are nearly heading to addiction or already experiencing that. That scenario is bit alarming for people who's experiencing that, so they need to check their selves and think about taking first those important matter or situation.  Then just think about gambling is just for pure entertainment.

Although some people gamble when they are bored, but I don't think they experience that on important events since for sure that they would pay attention on what's happening. Only those people who's experience an addiction will bother in that scene then think about gambling.

*Just to make it sure that it wont spoil my mood then it would be best that i would really be making up bets after the said occasion.
Im highly that sensitive person or simply that being too emotional on which if i do experience shit situations then i do mostly have that bad
mood that last up for so long.

*Winning is always best but playing first before other important means is not something my type of genre. I could really be able to play
later on and wont really be that trying out to be that highly impulsive or get involved into something which i do know that this could result into frustration.

In my last sports bet, it was a soccer derby and I was going to bet before the match started, but the team I was going to bet on was losing and I was quite surprised, because the team that was winning is in a bad phase, losing or drawing in the last matches, so it'd be an easy bet in my opinion.

I was quite surprised, because if I bet at the start of the match, I'd definitely lose, because I didn't get there in time to catch the start of the match. That said, I bet on the team that was winning, but the odds were very low because the match was almost over, I could have won a few bucks, but it's better than losing the match.

It was an important occasion, I had to choose between a strong team and a weak team, but I was at the end of the match and I didn't wait for the match to end to move on to the next game, the detail is that I don't follow soccer very well.
