Winning in gambling will make your mood happy just as we get some rewards and we feel happy.  These feelings are so great and we feel so energic and positive.
However, once we start to lose in gambling, we slowly move towards the sadness phase. If the loss continues and we keep on losing the money, eventually it can lead to depression.

Yes, I understand that depression is a very severe stage and it won't come at once if you are a new gambler but if you are not a responsible gambler, it is very easy for the gambler to lose his emotions and become depressed in life. Focus on other entertainment other than gambling for some time can be helpful in relaxing our mind and regrouping again to come back strongly in gambling with a strong emotion.

It is important for a gambler not to focus too much on their gambling, and to try to keep their mentality from getting worse just because of gambling. There are many other activities that a gambler can do, such as watching movies, playing games, or other activities to occupy their time so that they do not constantly think about gambling which can make them stressed. Because when a gambler only focuses on gambling, and is fixated on it, they will be very easily influenced by gambling - they can be happy or sad in a short time and that is not good in the long term. Taking action early on can prevent this and it helps gamblers to continue gambling healthily.

Gambling addiction comes with a lot of emotional rollercoaster you feel fulfilled and happy when you make a lot of Profit after a while everything you have won would be lost then depression and negative feelings sets in.. in my opinion gambling only affects your mood when you are addicted to it and when you don't stake what you can afford to lose, taking responsible risks and gambling occasionally cannot affect your mood because you are just having fun

Of course winning is a very pleasant situation regardless of whether for example your goal in gambling is to seek entertainment, and on the other hand I think you have said something right OP that losing is a very sad situation, but it will not hurt you too much if winning is not your main priority, this is the reason why gambling with the aim of entertainment is always more recommended, because losing will not spoil your mood too much when there is no hope involved.

In most cases, gambling often makes people depressed and maybe I would say that they are gamblers who have made winning their main goal from the start, and of course it is very unlikely for a gambler's mentality like that to be able to accept a losing situation, so if you really don't want to experience any problems as a result of gambling such as losing balance in your financial situation or experiencing depression in your mind, namely never put excessive expectations on winning, just think of it as nothing more than a bonus.

We'll go back again to the basic rule of gambling of playing with money that you cannot afford to lose, if you bet and you feel depress after the session then its likely that the money you've loss was something that you should not lose, you are more concentrated on profit than enjoying.

I experience both playing for money and playing for fun and both have a contradiction when it comes to your goal, I feel depressed when I go for profit and I am more relaxed and in a good mood when I play for fun, when you're playing for fun you don't care about the outcome, when you're playing for money you are forcing your way to win, and its very depressing when you are forcing yourself to win, you are easily aggravated.

I think gambling shouldn't affect you too much one way or another.

Consider being happy when gambling, why should your mood depend on that? So even the positive side of gambling isn't that much of a positive if you come to think about it.

Come to think of it, people that are comfortable with their finances should be able to enjoy their time gambling without having to worry about losing anything. It's ok to understand that not everyone can afford to gamble decent amounts of money. If you need to save a lot of money to improve your life considerably then you might better not gamble at all. Because it's a zero sum game. You lose, and all your losses go to the casino. You can't win more than the casino has to offer. So most people have to lose anyway. Don't expect to be more lucky than the majority because you simply won't be.

For a gambler to be depressed after several losses, I think the person is not very exposed to social life. Or they may have learned to gamble in their late 20s. Taking a break from gambling is just like finding something else to do to get occupied. This was suggested when a gambler wants to gradually quit gambling as well. It doesn't really need to be an online activity but an extracurricular activity like playing the sport itself or joining a Zumba class.

There was a thread about this where someone said, get a dog because it gives him happiness and a new responsibility as well.

It's my third time seeing this educational gambling diagram. From my observations, the diagram portrays how the casino is designed to affect a gambler's mood. Initial gambling means that when we begin it's quite fun and filled with wins. And as the days go by the player begins to experience numerous losses which then causes anger and frustration to the player.

The gambler whose reaction has shifted rapidly from fun to severe anger will probably get addicted. Because he wants to attain the fun level again and feel how he felt when he began gambling. Like the Op said, taking a break is an effective antidote to reaching severe anger while gambling.

Loss which is a whole part of the big game is something inevitable. Every profitable gambler must have experienced several loses in the past and went through a lot just to console himself. Using when we make losses, we get emotionally down for a while. but as a responsible gambler who understands and is able to control his emotions he might not think about his losses that much and try to move on. The best way to do is again is to take some time off and try to get your mind relaxed. Avoid excessive gambling that might create some kind of unexpected loss for you. This way your mood would be up even when you make some loss.

Other measures not to get addicted aside from taking a break is to stick to the allocated budget. If you already reached your limits, you stop no matter what. Some people are extending their games even after reaching their limits as they got addicted already. Also, remind yourself what is your actual purpose of playing? To what extent are you gonna play with your games?

You can't be depressed if you're intention for gambling is to have fun and keep an open mind. In doing so losses does not affect your mood to the degree that you become depressed and lose interest in order things. Even when you win, it still does not affect your mood such that you are looking forward to your next bet. That it distracts you from other things. Extreme happiness after a win and depression after a loss are on the end of the Continuum of gambling emotion and both negatively affects the gambler. We must be self aware and observe our mood when we win or lose and know when to take a break.

The mood level in gambling will go up/down depending on winning or losing... If you win, you will definitely be happy and think more positively... When losing the mood will drop and even become emotional when losing a lot of money.

This is not strange in gambling because it is certain that you will feel happy, upset, emotional and stressed.

When lucky defeats continue to be experienced then this will be easier to stress especially until spending a lot of money can be said to be bankrupt how that person will not be stressed because he does not have any more money that continues to be spent in gambling.

Therefore, adjust to financial capabilities, if excessive, it will be easy to stress.

I think the chart summaries everything well, though it's not clearcut for a gambler that's into heavy gambling and wins, because I think a winning gambler is just as happy as one that is gambling moderately... unlike a person that either gambles moderately or heavily and losses, then no two ways about it as depression can easily kick in.

Now the chart makes more sense if explained this way, thought the relation was between gambling and mood only   8)

Gambling offers both fun and regret at the same time. If a gambler wins a bet in gambling then he must be happy and if for some reason he loses the bet then there is no end of regret. Gambling can change the mood as well as the mental changes, especially for those gamblers who mainly participate in gambling with money as the main target, it is normal for the mood to be off after losing the game. Around us, the number of such gamblers who participate in gambling for money is high, but these gamblers are mainly responsible for creating unrest in the society if there is a breakdown of mental outlook for any reason.

As humans we are naturally programmed to not flow fine with failure, and in all  endeavors of man winning has proven to be a motivation to stay and maintain a right mindset and mood. But the truth is that we can't always win, there will be day's when results and expectations would have to go South and the earlier we accept it this way the better easier to live a happier life irrespective of what come may.

Just gamble responsibly, using money you can be sure of losing without it having a dent on your emotions and don't plant your laser on winning alone, for as much as you expecting to win also bearing it in mind that it could end otherwise... All of these are just simple ways any gambler can maintain a happy gambling lifestyle devoid of a feeling of depression from a loss bet.
 Gambling loss can only affect your mood and attitude when you a compulsive addict or you're someone who takes gambling as a way of income source .

You see, it's challenging to stick to a budget or limit. Few players are disciplined to that extent. A lot try this and fail as the game gets more interesting when their session is coming to an end. Whether they won during the last games or not, the player would want to try again, adding more time to his limit.

I also agrees with your proportion that winning will most likely set someone's emotion high and have a positive effect on the gamblers reaction toward gambling as at the time of starting in most cases, but then the more they go, the tougher it becomes for the people to identify what is actually involved in gambling, that this is not a game of all winning attempts, but one can loose than he could win, after this, then the other side of the effect is when we are getting along with gambling and we are seeing that the lost is more than the luck, it begin to set a kind of rage in the subconsciousness of some gamblers if they are really struggling to gamble or not

The first piece of advice I give to anyone who seeks to start gambling afresh is that after having a set-out gambling budget, they should go back and learn how to control their emotions, learn self-control, and learn how to deal with disappointment.
 
If they can handle that in a cool way without allowing whatever gets them upset to drag them down, then they are ready to overcome whatever gambling work hits them with, but if they can't deal with minor disappointment, they should stay away from gambling.

I played this game by Netent, a slot game provider that doesn't give much in a short run which means you will need a deep capital before you play the game.
The name of the game is Parthenon. If you examine clearly how the game works, it doesn't give much in 10 rounds or worse which I have experienced, 30 rounds without anything to give.
So if a gambler is expecting something in just 10 rounds, do not play this game. It's just a warning.
Jili, Fachai, Pragmatic Play, has the best early giveaways and I will stick with them if we have a low budget.

You got it all wrong!!! Don't, in anyway, by any means allow your emotions to CONTROL your habits... It's not the habit that causes depression, it's the emotion attached to it..
The best way to solve a problem is taking it by the root... Any gambler that wants to be successful should avoid conjoining their emotions innit....The reasons why we are advised to take a long break in a case of a losing spree is to avoid feeling the after effect of too many loses at the end.

Discipline is a virtue that everyone can't achieve at the same time.

I highly advise those gamblers not to gamble when they have big problems that they are currently dealing with. It's not advisable to gamble at all when you're on that phase because you'll become a problematic and emotional gambler. While us, we're all good because we know how to manage our emotions and we're not easily triggered by the mood swings that we experience. That is the reason for someone who has been used to gambling and keeps on betting regardless of the results and are only there to do it casually.

They have mastered how to control themselves, the emotion and how the inflows of their pocket and spending with their bets. Someone who has been winning a lot will definitely think that it is the best day of his/her life and won't feel pressured at all. But that's one dangerous situation as well when you're too happy and you can't contain that happiness because you will be free to take more risk and you don't mind losing all that you've won because your emotion tells you that no matter what happens, you're already happy which I think somehow is a wrong mindset.

And do you know the worst thing? It is that addicted gamblers will gambie to win small but lose big in a way that they will lose the money that they have won and also lose the money that they first started use to bet. I have been in this stage before and sometimes I felt depressed but I know how to manage it as it can not last more than some hours or a day. I can sleep and wake up unhappy but I know that if their is life there is hope. Go are those days now as I am no more addicted to gambling.

Even some gamblers find it difficult to stop and get out of the game when their mood is fluctuating, forgetting the limits or personal principles that have been set. We see this very often, so that the goal of seeking pleasure is lost, and all that remains is regret. I'm sure all gamblers have experienced it, especially those who gamble every day, such a cycle is not surprising to them. It must be admitted that it is difficult to control desires, when in a winning position we want more, and when we lose we want to our money back. I used to feel strange about gamblers who had certain days to gamble, now I understand another purpose of trying to avoid greater losses besides believing in lucky days for them. In other words, they are looking for the right momentum to enjoy their gambling.

That is what gamblers need to understand, gambling can be a very fun activity to do once in a while, but we need to find other activities that do not cost as much money but that still bring us the same amount of joy, because if a person is unable to do this then it is possible they could think about gambling as the only way they can obtain what they are looking for, becoming dependent on it and eventually an addiction could manifest itself if they are not careful.

Diversification between different hobbies is needed.

When you make profit, it gives you joy and happiness which will make you need more profits and if you cannot control yourself that is where you will fall in addiction because you are carried away with the taste of profit.

Nobody wants to be a loser and that is where the problem lies, when we lose one might have this unfair feeling of getting it right and you will feel that you have figured out how to get it right. Making you to gamble more and when you are losing your emotions will become to affect you mentally because you are gambling more than the amount that you can afford toose.

This is the reason why a gambler needs self control and stop gambling at the right time to avoid losses upon losses which might later lead to depression.

We feel very happy the moments we win on our bets that is why any time we win we still try to bet again, having the mind that we might win again the next round. Winning give us more hope that there is still more winning if we try again, most of the times we still win but not always. Ones we win twice and the third one we lose it, we start filling sad because by them we might have lost half of what we won previously, and if the gambler is that greedy type he wouldn't like to quite because he has lost enough of the money he won earlier.

Hell no mate, are you saying that I am an addict, because on a couple of times, I have being gambling even though I won at first I continue until I lose the amount I already won, this have been my recent experience and I am sure that I am not addicted, because this only happens when I have a large amount of money in my gambling account, although I have been through some shit lately that made me think that total withdrawal is the best approach for me at this moment and for sure doing so require a lot of other things.
Between also I am not mood swig anytime I lose while gambling, and at best I just take it as a lesson to rather apply more caution in the next games, because when you have control such unpredictable loses can be cut down at least.

Although gambling is about fun, hobbies and entertainment. But still when we lose, it can make us a little depressed and even frustrated, especially if we experience defeat and consecutive defeats in quite a lot. And in certain situations someone can even destroy things around them to vent their frustration due to the defeat they experienced. Usually this situation occurs when someone has run out of money to start gambling again, while the ambition to return the defeat they experienced continues to burn.

And worse, in this situation he will not only vent his frustration and anger on the objects around him but also on the people around him. This can damage relationships, cause tension, and even lead to violence, both verbal and physical.

This kind of situation highlights how important it is to recognize the early warning signs of gambling addiction or gambling-related behavioral problems. If someone starts to feel too depressed by defeat or starts to show signs of aggressive behavior, seeking professional help is a very important step

Depression, frustration and all of those negative traits that can be absorbed by that gambler and will turn into a misery. We do not want that to happen for someone who gambles and let his mood affects him. Regardless of how controllable our moods are, we'll still see gamblers that will be needing help from the others so that they can help themselves control their own. It's no longer odd to hearing upon thos situations because it's not a rare case anymore that we often hear those gamblers that when they are angry, they yolo bets and that is why they ask advise on how to control their temper and emotions.

There are whole foundations for that matter, but, I do think that a person can prevent a situation like that from happening if he is responsible about how he gambles and entertains himself.

Thanks for sharing, that actually a well done and very illustrative graph on how gambling can negatively affect the mood of gamblers on the long run.
It is true during our initial gambling session it is common to feel energetic and even full with confidence and optimism, but that feeling starts to fade away as soon as losses start to pile up, or even worse, if we start to chase our losses in hopes to make some of the money to come back.
Those who experiment with gambling and do not feel anything but sadness at soon as they start to wager their money, are in that state because they have their previous losses in mind and come back to the casinos for those same losses which suffered in the first time...

That graph is a clear reminder of why we are need to be responsible and never approach gambling as a way to get consistent payments....  :(

I think the chances increase for the gamblers to get addicted to gambling if they do not have another source of earning or they have less money with them. Such people want to stick to the screen to gamble more in order to gain more money. A person who has a reliable source of income, he will not get addicted and gamble for fun. I know many people will disagree with me but I am talking about the majority of people who will have this scene, yes there will be some who have money and still become addicted.
I think the more the person is desperate to get money from gambling, he can become addicted quickly.

Agreed. Also about how we should stop in the middle of a session if things go our way, in my opinion. It's hard, but it's better to try to do that rather than to gamble what you spent towards you again.

If you're an educated bettor and you can moderate your greed, you will not experience the bad effect of gambling mood, you just put in the right perspective on why you are playing, if you're playing for fun then you are good to go, you will enjoy the benefits of being entertained in gambling.

These casinos purpose is to be an entertainment portal we have to treat it that way so we will not face any bad emotional issues and you are always in good mood.

According to the Op's chart I'm a heavy gambler because my mood either doesn't improve or improves slightly. I rarely gamble and bet very small amounts, never feel down about it because I've learned to keep my expectations low. When I gamble, I expect to win, but I'm ready to lose. When you say goodbye to your money before you bet it it gets much easier.


That's how it works. If you stop playing when up, you will be happy. When you stop at a very small loss, early on, you will wonder what if you kept playing and if you should have accepted that loss, but if you overdo it and lose more, you're going to feel really bad.

In reality, there is practically nobody who knows when they are supposed to stop gambling and withdraw, because there are either people who have very big expectations on multiplying their money (and in the end they end up losing most of it) or there are people who go through their way in the casino and they know they want to earn money (not having an amount of money in their mind at all).
it is just my personal opinion, but it would be advisable for anyone who believes to be able to have a good time while gambling first try the games of the casino without wagering actual money first, and then analize their feeling and either his they find amusement on it.
That is what I do when I first encounter an specific slot or casino game which I have never tried before, I go for the demo and do not risk anything.
There is no reason to risk money when one is not even sure it is going to be enjoyable in at all. Don't you think?

Not only feel bad, but feeling financially bad too ;D

Let me add something that makes even worse, in case when someone is gambling under the effect of alcohol or substances, that person will feel extremely good with the combination of gambling, great mood, feeling undefeated, not caring that much if he loose significantly, but once the effect of the substances goes off, his mood will go even under the mood of someone who is gambling sober. I believe that addiction starts when someone doesn’t understand gambling as a way of having fun, without letting it reflect on our mood that much, because no matter what, losing money will surely affect your mood, gaining money will also affect you positively.

There are many studies about gambling addiction and it differs from a person to another, if you already going through other addictions and your mood isn’t stable, then it is better to avoid gambling at all. Expectations also are dangerously affecting your mood if you are depending on that gain, then surprisingly losing all your deposits in one night, you mood will significantly decrease and feel bad.

Whether we would say that we are really that playing for the sake of fun or would really be that talking or speaking about willing to spend money for the leisure but cant really be able to deny or could really be able to
say that disappointments and any negative emotion could really be something that be felt on the time that you would really be that losing money. Its never been a desirable kind of emotion or reaction
on which you could really be able to have on the moment that you do play gambling specially on a losing situation. You cant really just that make yourself avoid such condition because we are just humans
on which it will really be that normal on having that kind of reaction and this is why its always better that you should anticipate or readying up yourself on such scenario.

Dont expect too much on gambling because on the moment that you would really be that too positive on it but ending up on losing then it would really be bringing out that huge disappointment.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really know at least on what you are dealing on with. You cant really just that expect that you would really be that able to have
always that winning condition on which we know that gambling is really that heavily relies on luck.

Yes, this is true on which on the time that you do lose money it wont really be giving out that good feeling and this is why people do really become that too impulsive just because
they cant really just that accept on what happened into them or something that they didnt expect that gambling would be doing so much damage into their capital or bankroll.

Just like on what you had said that it would really be that totally not that giving a good feeling when you do lose money and this is the main reason on why people become that an addict
on the time that they will really be chasing up their loses and not really that thinking up that if they will really be chasing up those things then it will be giving that more loses and this is something not
that recommended. This is why it would really be best that you should be mindful on the actions that you would really be that making if you dont like for your financial condition to be
greatly affected.

Yeah definitely, no one will enjoy losing their money through gambling, because alot of losses will actually lead to one be sad and depressed and most time they will endup putting the frustration on those that are close to them . At same time when one winning he or she will be in a good mood (happy) because he or she is definitely doubling their money , but Still in gambling there's nothing that's fixed when one is winning alway he or she will surely experience losses . Vice versa, thats why is better to always bet with small amount of money to avoid such, because gambling recklessly with money you can't risk may trigger the depression when loss doing gambling section.

He spoke the truth. Gambling is a brain game.  Here, as long as there is win, the brain is very good and the mind is also fresh, but once the loss starts, depression starts.  And so it happened. If I start gambling with $10, this amount seems huge, but when it grows to $30 or more, there is a lot of joy.  But then if this amount starts to lose again then panic starts when it falls below $20 and then this amount seems very small even though the original balance was $10. Then I keep increasing the bet amount and most of the time I lose the whole amount and go into depression. My issue almost matches this chart  :-X

It's normal thing for human to be happy when they make money and sad when they lose money. There are some people that own their own get angry when they are broke and immediately they make money, they became very happy for that moment as long as the money remains in their hands. The same thing goes with gambling, imagine putting an amount and then win something big and your efforts is been crown with reward is something you get once in a blue moon.

However, I don't think it's worth it to have a mood swing and be frowning face for a decision you did on your own. If you can risk the amount, the outcome shouldn't make you feel bad or make you feel like you have lost something from your life when you lose. Unless you have bet with an amount you need and that's should be your responsibility for dedicating that amount and not toy with your own emotions for your own choice and decision.

The gambling give the enjoyment mood to the brain after the big win and the money also help the gamblers to satisfy all his need to get fulfilled.The gamblers who get the loss in the gambling will start to depress themselves by thinking about the money loss in the gambling.The gambling may be work like this,the money in the gambling will increase to high value,if you made the good betting.But the same money will be reduced based on the selection of the betting option.The biggest mistake by the gamblers was thinking about the old loss and target the money target winning based on the old loss.

Thats why tons of people do really end up on failing up themselves even if they would really be having those kind of thoughts on having that enjoyment on the time that they would really be playing gambling.
Just like been said by most people that we are just humans and we do really hate up on losing money, this is why on the moment that it do happens then those emotions would really be suddenly change up
and this is something which is really that very normal or something that do talks about sudden change of plans just because you cant be able to think up well specially when you mind is getting in lined with your emotions
then it would really be that so hard to make up such control into these kind of conditions. This is why it would really be better that you should really know on what you should gonna do.

Gambling shouldnt really be something stressful because on the time that you do play gambling then it should really be that entertaining and this is something be that your priority but people do really ends up
on having that kind of impulsive emotions on which it would really be resulting that kind of problem. This is why it would really be important that you should really know on what you are doing
and dont make yourself that greed control you.

A good or bad mood depends on the winning or losing of gambling bets. That is, good mood depends on if you win the bet and bad mood depends on if you lose the bet. However, most gamblers participate in gambling primarily for the purpose of income, so if they lose a bet, they will definitely feel upset. But for those who participate in gambling only for pleasure, i.e. for fun, the mood of being on is not dependent on winning or losing bets. In this case, their target is pleasure, not profit.  But in reality the number of all these gamblers is not much.

As in gambling, we are happy when we win and we are angry several times when we lose. And when the mood is bad, we enter more money into gambling to recover the past money. And thus whenever we start gambling with mood swings facing house losses, we should never enter winnings with such a mindset.  It is certain that more people will be exposed when the person who enters gambling is in a bad mood.

Even if some players only play for fun, their mood will still be affected by the results of the bet. I mean who does not like winning? Even if there are no huge stakes on the bet, just winning could make you feel lucky and expensive all day long. Although the down side would probably be not as bad considering nothing much is at stake anyway.

It is undeniable that of course no one is happy when they experience defeat or lose money, but in gambling losing money is something that is certain to happen, so we should be able to accept defeat or lose money that is bet on gambling, but for some gamblers they do experience depression because of the defeat that occurs, in my opinion those who are depressed because of defeat are people who cannot accept the defeat that occurs so that the defeat affects their mood, from here we must be aware not to be too serious in gambling.

gambling that is done seriously usually only focuses on winning or only thinks about winning until when defeat occurs it makes you feel shocked and can't accept it. and this is a mistake where the defeat that occurs cannot be accepted well, and if you look again at the many cases of bad impacts that occur in my opinion it is because they cannot accept the defeat that occurs.

So for me I viewed it as satisfaction can maximize emotions in case of a win, since the pride and energy from that win might raise your spirits and improve your mood. However, over time, accumulation might be metered by sadness, grief, and even depression. In such feelings, to cope, budget and time limits should be set for satisfaction, and one must not spend time which we had not intended nor go over your budget. Apparently, this balance in feelings can be enhanced by routine rest and other activities. Being able to monitor feelings and recognize triggers may also help in managing cravings and stresses. Getting support from friends, family, even here in forum or a counselor assists in providing insight into their problems and helping to minimize mental health issues. Lastly, as I'm doing it now im seeing gambling as entertainment rather than gambling, and I'm using this technique called mindfulness, cause it improve my quality and control of gambling.

Whatever we do will usually affect our feelings depending on how we handle it, stay calm with whatever you do, don't focus too much on gambling because this is just entertainment, it is important not to think too much that you will win a lot of money from gambling by risking large capital to play gambling because if you lose you will lose everything and eventually regret it and get nothing. However, if you only bet a little money just to have fun, your feelings will remain peaceful without feeling excessive pressure that causes depression.

That is common impact and may often be experienced by most gamblers, but basically all of these impacts will depend on how each gambler responds.
Those who cannot think well and have bad approach to gambling will definitely end up experiencing series of defeats that can increase the chances of depression or emotional outbursts that cannot be contained.
Much worse impacts can occur for gamblers like that.
But on the other hand, there are also many gamblers who don't care about the results of their bets, the most important thing is to bet money and have fun with the games or matches they bet on.

I think something different can also happen. What we currently feel will affect what we will do. If you are in a bad mood because of something at work, don't force yourself to gamble. Likewise, when you feel that your mood is bad because of losses in gambling, it is better to avoid activities that might take up your concentration and focus. It will only add to the pressure.

Of course, not all gamblers will be like that. Those who have fun with gambling will not be too stressed by losses. There may be regret for losing, but it will not create great pressure when we bet according to what we have measured. Gamblers who are depressed are most often because they have exceeded their limits. However, no one is happy with losses. So we have to manage our own risks.

Therefore, you should never ignore your feelings in gambling. Your picture very clearly shows how quietly and imperceptibly depression creeps up on a gambler. And I want to say that cyclicality is the worst thing in developing a habit of gambling. Therefore, you cannot play every day. I think that you cannot even play every weekend. If a gambler can forget about the game every two weeks, then he clearly has no problem with it.

I call it stupidity if one wants to get happiness from gambling, it'll backfire as gambling is supposed to be make you lose money in long run; so for not letting your gambling journey transform into sadness, gamble being prepared that you will lose your money, and consider it as an entertainment expense, as in purchasing a video game or going to watch a movie.

Losing is always painful. Positive effects and negative effects of gambling will have different effects on our mood. When we gamble, if we play it for entertainment and hobby, even if we lose or lose from it, it makes us depressed for some time even makes our mind depressed. Actually every gambler wants them to win from their gambling even enjoy happy moments. However, people who win at gambling are more greedy they think that they might win the next time they gamble so they are always interested in gambling.

A gambler addicted to gambling always has a rough temper. Which results in cruelty and lack of humanity among them. Moreover, behavioral differences are observed among addicted gamblers. Just as a gambler damages their own present and future life, they also damage their family.

Winning in gambling indeed make us happy but we must be careful because the happy moment can make us forget to know when we stops gambling. Instead of trying to stops ourselves from playing gambling, we decide to keep playing gambling because we thinks that we can win again. But that will not always happen because in gambling we must be ready with anything that can happen.

When we start to lose in gambling after we win, we can not accept that lose and decide to continue playing gambling with a hope that we can win. But once again, we must see the reality that gambling can make us lose much money. Our win money can be lose in gambling if we are not be careful to control ourselves.

That is why we must not use gambling for make money reason but only for entertainment. We must realizes and do other activities to control our minds not to thinks about gambling. Our mood can change anytime following the result that we gets from gambling.

Yeah, we need to accept that things won't go our way sometimes, and there is no rush to get the money spent back from the get-go. That usually doesn't end well.

It's a rollercoaster of emotions with gambling, and having been able to see that this is an experience for others, it's affected by the psychological impacts. There are highs and lows when gambling, and continuously, it coincides with life as well.

I don't think responsible gambling would solve it because there are always going to be positive and negative parts to it.

It would minimize the impacts that could happen, but, yeah, it's not a 100% guarantee of sorts.

Gambling has done more harm than good to a gambler and so is it's effects on the gambler mood,when you gamble with everything and loose it all definitely your mood is affected and it'll cause depression and all that.
So when you gamble gamble at your lowest with the amounts you won't regret of using and just stay out for a while.

I know alot of gamblers fix their mind in it cause they ain't tired and they want to get what they want by all means but it's not suitable that way,yes focusing your mind and everything on gambling can alter your state and moods,so like you said focussing on other aspects than gambling can help minimize the chances of loss and keep your mind on a Good state

There are lots of factors surrounding the uncontrolled urge to gamble where effects lead to depression.  It is not only the money loss but far more greater thing than that.  Restlessness, family problems, disappointment, hunger, and more.  These are the factors that heightens the effect of frustrations that lead to depression.

Getting hooked to gambling deprives the player of rest thus it will affect him not only physiologically but also mentally.  With time being dedicated to gambling, the gambler's social interaction is also affected especially his interaction to his family.  Being not understood by the family due to lack of communication also contributed to frustration later turns to depression feeling that no one understands him.


Not entirely true, gambling will only do more harm is when a person loses his control over himself.  The uncontrollable urge to gamble trigger that harms things.  It is a domino effect since everything will be in disarray if the person becomes addicted to gambling.  It is a general knowledge that anything done too much is harmful since it disrupts balance and harmony.

As I stated gambling will become harmful if one loses control but if one is a responsible gambler, there will be no problem at all.  Entertainment is aim to lighten our mood, this will only happen if we are in control of our gambling activities and we use gambling as entertainment wisely.

To be honest I can count the number of times I’ve felt sad after gambling and this was because I went on to gamble with an amount that was more than I could afford at that point in time mostly because I thought it was a sure game.

Those emotions mentioned in the op are as a result of poor management (like what happened to me the few times I went beyond my limit) - if a gambler truly goes to his/her account to gamble for fun then the risk of them being affected by those emotions will be minimized.

I am sorry that you had situations like that, and I hope that it will change for the better in the future. And, I agree with you. Minimizing risks is what should be done by all responsible gamblers.

If a gambler practices responsible gambling then it's possible that it won't affect his mood, atleast not to the extent of making him emotional. The best strategy for responsible gambling is to have a budget for it and let the amount be what you can afford to loose. If you gamble and lose an amount that is significant, there's no way that it won't affect your emotion because money is not easy to get, so to avoid being in such a caged situation of mood swings if you lose or win, it's better to have a small budget for gambling. Furthermore it's not advisable to gamble as a major source of income, it's one of the compelling factors that makes gamblers to bet with excessive amounts of money that leads to being emotional after loses.

When you win gambling you will feel better and you will be very happy mentally but when you lose money gambling you will be more upset than happy. And when you play the next gambles with this upset or mental turmoil, you will only lose money because you will not be in a position to make the right decisions at that time. Given that the state of mind changes so much, one should not expect too much in gambling. If you have a certain amount of money profiting from one gamble you limit yourself to it, it is better for you not to get excited later and try to gamble more at that time. Also if a gambler notices that he has lost money in a few gambling games in a row then he should take a break there and start gambling again later. Gambling but never as if we are doing everything against our mind and taking all these decisions when we are at a very low point mentally.

You're right to note that there's an emotional return associated with satisfaction. Winning can enhance one's mood and energy and on the other hand, losses in the long run can lead to grief and may further deteriorate problems such as depression, especially in cases of compulsive gambling. As a matter of fact, for responsible gambling, it is very key to unwind and have fun in a number of ways so as to create balance and good emotional health. A person will be able to keep off undesirable feelings from gambling activities and also have a positive outlook towards it if activities are joined in and gambling behaviours managed. I have read this on some articles that up to 2% of gamblers sometimes develop gambling problems; hence, one should act responsibly or seek help as needed.

I think one should track his mood in the course of his activity and procced with gambling only when energized , happy and pleased. Clinging to gambling in despair and hopeless would be crack-headed as it may affect both the health and pockets. Gambler's mind should  be never confused with the tumbled gambling he done over the past.

It seems to me that gambling addiction is the same simple dopamine. But it is simply extracted and there is too much of it in the moment, which later leads to depression. In my opinion, to be in a normal state, you need to play in a dosed manner and rarely.

So according to the image, we, as a gambler should gamble for few times only because the more we gamble the more it drain our mood. It means gambling = depression/madness, instead of gambling is only for fun.

I disagree with the image above, they should draw the effect where gambling can increase our mood instead of always draining whenever we continue to gamble. It's not always about winning/profit, but the way you can enjoy gambling.

In this matter I think the key is only one, as you said that we must first know what we are actually doing, or what is meant is knowing and understanding what activity we are engaged in, because I believe that when someone knows this then it is unlikely for them to act carelessly in every decision making, meaning impulsive gambling and putting high hopes on gambling is something that is impossible for them to do.

They will understand that putting high hopes on an activity that depends entirely on luck is a very wrong idea, and they will also realize that betting with various aggressive actions is an action that is too high risk which will ultimately destroy all aspects of his life, and this is why a rational point of view must always be prioritized when every time we find new things in life.

Any positive action will affect your well-being in a positive direction. However, this does not always affect gamblers. I have seen people who often win, but they do not have a sense of joy, instead, greed awakens in them, telling them to play more. Having won a certain amount, they cannot relax and, on the contrary, feel stressed that they need to play more. One can guess how their "joy" ends.
Any depression always comes from the head. All thoughts that affect a person can act positively or negatively. Those who are preparing for a bad mood, knowing their experience of previous games, will not be able to sincerely rejoice in winning.
What to do to avoid depression? Imagine the worst that can happen to you in case of loss. Having played this situation several times mentally, you will no longer react the same way, having received it in reality, since there is always a way out of almost all situations and nothing is fatal.

Depression isn't an easy thing, and I bet you won't wish to have that kind of feelings because emotional is too hard to battle with specially in times of loneliness. When you're suffering on that current state, don't ever gamble your money if you can't to lose that amount of money.
Money always count every value when it's hard earned, since this world has no easy money; you're always going to work hard to earn for it.

that's why it's important to be able to allocate money that you're willing to lose, so that feelings don't get carried away. someone who is emotional about losing the money they bet is someone who is not ready to lose and actually that is a trivial mistake that needs to be fixed and considered.
if we are not ready to lose money then we should not bet, also besides that when we bet but think we have to take a risk then consider first whether we are ready to lose money that tends to be unusual because it is bigger than usual.

what you said is right, money is not easy to get, this also applies in gambling. although there is a chance to win but not all money can be obtained easily, what is clear is that to get money we have to work hard but outside of gambling because in gambling it is not recommended to gamble hard it does not guarantee getting money.

You know what Im agree with this because if gambling starts to affect your daily moods meaning that should stop and you are start get addicted from it.
 Mean by looking at the picture from the ts I also feel what the picture says

You winning you happy and start do gamble again and the cycle continue but it could be make your sad when you hit losses and chasing that

That's right, OP. We should never focus on gambling alone if we want to enjoy life and relax our minds. We would rather choose sports or physical events, as it certainly works. 

Gambling should not be considered a good place to relax our minds because the moment we are into it, that changes everything. Most of the time, we start happy and enjoy ourselves, but later on, it turns to disappointment and frustration. In gambling, especially when heavily addicted, it never gives us help, instead, it even causes more problems. There is a reason why we should control ourselves when gambling and keep in mind that gambling should not be taken seriously. Otherwise, this will create major problems in our lives. 
 

Constant losing in gambling actually causes depression, not just an ordinary depression but depression in the highest Oder which comes with emotional breakdown. I have a friend who have moved from the natural stage to the depression stage simply because he has vow to himself that he must win jackpot someday. I have adviced him several times but he just keep telling me " chill bro it's gonna be fine, I must hit jackpot even if takes me time" he doesn't even look nice anymore because his life has been shattered, he hardly take care of himself. He can't even differentiate fantasy from reality due to excessive gambling. the betting shop is now his second Home. Truely at first gambling use to be nice when we haven't moved to the other phase, but when moved to the addiction, depression and constant lose stage, it seems nothing can be done to revive the lost money and happiness we once had.

Totally right! In my opinion, mood plays a big part in gambling. Without a good one, you won't achieve anything good during the session.

your friend is too ambitious for a jackpot that only a small chance he can get. maybe every gambler has the hope to win. and if he loses, all he has to do is hope maybe in the next bet. if he has become depressed, it is no longer a matter of mood that affects him to gamble. your friend should not gamble anymore if it is like that. I don't know how people can lose their minds in paying attention to their gambling abilities. going beyond the limits of their gambling abilities will make us irresponsible gamblers. after a series of unacceptable defeats and the hope of a jackpot that is not obtained, their mentality begins to be attacked.

Too bad once a gambler already on the depressed state he doesn’t have much control on his action especially if he is already addicted. Being depressed due to addiction is something that you can control or stop on your own because even if you still on the average addiction will make you uncontrollable.

All this topic about stopping gambling when you feel depressed is just a paper discussion which is very hard to apply on actual scenario. It’s much better to avoid being depressed and addicted rather than stopping it when you already have it.

Prevention is always better than cure even on depression and addiction.

You are right. Many things can be said, but most of them wouldn't come to mind in a real situation, unfortunately. It's better to nurture your well-being on the run rather than when it's in a bad state already.

The first rule is to bet with the amount you are prepared to lose. As long as I stick to that principle, the condition will end well. Because those who are depressed for days because of losing in gambling are caused by betting with an amount they are not prepared to lose. I just bet with the minimum amount, lost and then after that I returned to normal and as if nothing had ever happened. Doesn't it feel freer?
Unfortunately, every gambler cannot control that because the goal from the start is to win more than the amount they bet, as a result they are faced with conditions that are not as expected.

Depression doesn't occur to everyone, we often confuse stress with depression. When we lose money on something then it's normal to be sad and stressed but once the stress keeps building up then depression comes after the addiction if I am not wrong so anyone who felt sad no need to panic and this is mostly due to the self care professionals from social media who are not really having any medical degree.

At first glance, people may think that these are the same thing, but actually there is a slight difference where stress is a situation where someone feels their feelings are not right which can be caused by several factors and one of them is a sense of worry about unwanted things such as losing something which can also cause tension, while depression itself is a much more serious situation that makes someone feel sad and hopeless excessively. This means that before entering a situation of depression, someone like a gambler will first experience stress.

In the end, I think both of these things should not happen or not be experienced by a gambler when from the start they already know and understand their chances and are also aware of the risks that can occur, and this is why we are always advised to be responsible gamblers.

Apart from gambling nobody feels happy when they lose money.  lose in gambling is extremely painful because gamblers always expect the win to take place that is why it is always advisable for gamblers to gamble just with the money they can afford to lose and for them to also understand that gambling is a game of luck which can't be predicted,  it is wise not to invest so much money in gambling.  It is also good for a gambler to know when to stop, and if these understanding are their I don't think people will have problem of emotions when they lose money in gambling.

The best way to control emotions as a gambler is just to understand gambling,  understanding is even more important than the bets. When their are no understandings concerning about gambling it is common gamblers will experience some outcomes that be of serious challenge to the mind and ones personal finance.

Even if you do that and bet again and lose again, the same thing will happen again, try to bring your mood when gambling to a relaxed state, don't focus too much when you are in the gambling arena, Take gambling as normal, just think of gambling as a place for you to find pleasure in the games you play, that way your mood can be more enjoyable.

Gambling is like a ghost, the more you chase it the further it gets away, unless you are a supernatural person who can control and control it is a ghost, so try gambling as it is and use money to bet, really money that is ready to lose, remember that the emotions of gambling are very high, control it with a calm heart, lose and win you will enjoy it.

It's a natural phenomenon, there's no body that doesn't rejoice or feel happy over their victory in any confronting situation. People usually feel happy when they are winning and sad when they are being defeated or if they have lose something they had expectations of winning. Repeatedly, I have mentioned that no body feels happy when they are losing money that they didn't plan to lose. In gambling, it wise to only stake the amount that you can afford to lose so that if the game get busted, you can easily let go of the sad mood.

Success in any activity makes us happy and lifts our spirits. This works not only in gambling, but in everything.

And this manifests itself in the same way as in everyday life. Failure generates negative emotions.

This is where time-management and control of gaming sessions that regulate the emotional state and don't allow it to take over the gambler would come in handy. The gambler controls emotions, and not the other way around.

Excessive passion for any activity begins to border on mania, especially if it is gambling, due to the emotional carousel from euphoria to depression associated with monetary bets. Re-focusing attention is an excellent means to distract yourself from excessive passion for gambling and it works best if you find passion in new types of activities. Temporary "pauses" in gambling will save you from developing gambling addiction.

We are just as happy when we win a prize as we are when we win money in gambling. Of course, this is a great feeling and makes people more attracted to gambling, if they become more attracted, they will definitely face losses at some point. Of course, if at first they start winning in gambling, then people get into gambling a lot, but when they gradually lose, they feel a lot of sadness. Losing large amounts of money can make people lose control and become emotionally attached, making them more likely to become addicted. However, if a gambler does not gamble responsibly then at some point he will move towards depression and lose his money. That is why one should play responsibly while gambling and not indulge in excessive gambling, keep oneself under control and gambling will not face future losses.

I agree. When you are weak you think it is called depression, but it's not. It's just stress taking over which could lead to frustration and regret.

Mood swings when we are negatively effected by the results of our gambling. It it normal. But how we take care of them is up to us.
I think most gamblers will experience the same thing but how they handle it is where it goes differently. We cannot let our emotions get the better of us and the only way to prevent this from happening is by accepting that we are going to lose in the long run.
These is where a plan must be projected because what will happen next is not in our hands especially in casino games where we are relying on the algorithm that will be provided for us.

It's not really mood swings which is different from stress or depression that we are talking and this is what I am trying to say cause now we have exposure to lot of information that clogs up our mind and it's only a medical practitioner can figure out not from Google results.

Experiencing disappointment after losing is very normal but how long we carry that it's in our hands, we can sleep it through then it's okay but if we let that thing keep growing up then overtime it will lead to lot of complications and one of them is depression.

We can easily guess that when a gambler wins a bet he will be excited. Then his approach shows happiness but when a gambler loses gambling, he becomes depressed. There is a blackness of despair in him. If he places a bet at that moment, the result of his bet will also see a big change. At that time bets began to turn out poorly. Gambler cannot change it easily. Instead, his situation worsened. So a gambler must pay special attention to that aspect. If a person's condition worsens after a gambling loss, it is certainly better to stop betting temporarily until the gambler's state of mind improves. Until such time as the human condition improves, it is better for the gambler not to take part in new bets.

The gambling loss always create the mood swing by thinking about the loss money,because the money loss in the game will be the real money earned by the gambler.The meditation should be followed in order to get away from the stress caused because of the gambling loss.The gambler also not able to sleep because of the gambling loss money.So they become week physically and mentally.So to be stronger is very important to play the gambling as compared to the other available online games,because gambling based on real money.The gambler who was experienced wouldn’t worry about the gambling loss,they know that they can easy recover it.

We are just indeed humans on which it would really be that understandable that there would really be those individuals who would really that highly reactive whenever they do lose money on which
it would really be just that normal just on this case. Even no matter how old or long time gambler you are but on the moment that you would really be that losing money then it would really be
something that pertains on having some issues about impulsive actions just because we cant really just that able to accept on our fate about on doing gambling. It could definitely
changed up our mood instantly on the time that you would be losing, even on the time that you would be able to say into yourself that you are really just that playing for fun but still
those kind of reactions which it would come out.

It's a natural thing, bro. You will feel joy and happiness when something good is happening to you and be sad if something awful is going on with you; there's nothing surprising in this. The first time you earn from gambling, your confidence level becomes stronger, and you feel happy. After some time, this confidence convinces you to get highly involved in gambling to win more money in a single bet, but the outcome is not always the same. At that point, when you are thinking about winning, you suddenly realize that you have lost a huge amount. This is the stage where a weak emotional person can fall into depression, which is the worst condition for them and a silent killer.

So, it is advisable for everyone to take gambling very seriously. Don't put everything in at once, and also don't gamble money that you have saved for your expenses. If you do it even once, you will gradually become addicted, and this gambling will break your financial backbone.

It’s just better we don’t gamble with the amount, knowing that if we lose, we end up being depressed. Gambling is supposed to be for fun, and when we win, everyone is going to be happy, but even when we gamble for fun, whenever we lose, we are going to feel bad (not because of the amount lost, but because of the loss), which is just going to be temporary, and it’s part of the fun. But we should make sure we don’t gamble to the level of being depressed after going, I t’s totally wrong, and we should avoid that.

Successful gambling elicits feelings of happiness, of elation. However, constant losses can cause adverse effects on our mental wellness. The feeling of regret and irritation can lead to depression if not managed with care. It is hence essential to limit and make sure there is time for other far much better activities so that we keep our emotions in check and gamble sensibly.

Also, one should always bear in mind that gambling should be the added value to the fun and not the primary source of it. If we feel way too much affected by winning or losing, maybe it's time to take a step back and reevaluate what makes us truly happy. Getting some support from friends, family or professionals if needed can be a good idea as well. Finding the line between fun and responsibility helps to avoid bigger negative consequences in future.

It's easy to talk, but when we get in a "big win/big lose" situation we don't think clearly. Sometimes big wins hit us in the way we feel like we can win even more, and sometimes after big losses, we feel like it's the end of the world... it's gambling, and that mixture of feelings is what drives us to come back to gambling every time.

That's why we need to gamble with amounts we can afford to lose, who cross that line will get into all the bad feelings. Those who gamble for fun & entertainment will never go that far, and that keeps us safe in many ways. Nobody is rock hard after losing money, nobody likes to lose, but we handle it better if we don't overspend... and we know we will try it again after a short/longer break.

I want to say that the first one shouldn't be named by the "Initial Gambling" it shouldn't be the Normal stage of gambling.  I mean that when gambler will take gambling as for the entertainment and will not cross the limit he can afford then those gamblers will always be in happy mood after gambling.

But the gambler who are addicted and gambling by their greed those situations can be happen like the photo you show on your topic. So I want to say that gambling can be a problem until you gamble for money instead of fun until you cross your limit. And then a gambling problem can lead to depression.

That infographic is the perfect representation of how gambling will trap people who are inexperienced and unaware of the tricks that betting can play on your brain. At the outset a casino is trying to make you super happy, it's in their interest that you win a bunch of times, even though they are slowly clawing away at your wallet. They'll even give you free money as a welcome bonus, so even when you're losing - "it's not your money" that was being lost. They hope that you spike a few high wins, which is built into every game, because the mind has this wonderful trick of flooding your brain with happy chemicals when you win, which will cause a very pleasurable memory association to betting, while disregarding all the slow losses as insignificant.

I think it's unethical and dramatic for something you know will happen and you choose to be surprised. You are fully aware that gambling is risky and when you put money, it's either you get something or you lose it. If you win, there should be for a call for happiness but when you lose and then you becomes sad and moody, then you just wish to be like that because you are fully aware that you can lose and you can make it hit most often, you lose.

Why would you be depressed and think gambling is the next line of thing to start? If you have money I lose fine, but you will only put your self in severe pain when you lose money. If you depressed, try another outdoor activity and if you can't do that, talk to people and engage them, not gambling.

Its the part of the trap and if you wont really be that making yourself that be careful then you would really be that prone into possible more loses and this is something
that you should really be that making yourself having that control and moderation on everything on which we know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be
that totally a disaster if  you would really be that making yourself that chasing up loses just because you cant just accept that you've been losing too much.
It would really be that normal that there would really be those common reactions because we are just humans and we do really just that hate up on losing money.

One of the things that contributes to you been in very sad mood is when you expectations are high, and you don't win then throughout that they your mood will be affected, you know their are periods that you will need money and your hopes are placed on the game you want to play, you will want to be positive as possible and even with that positivity you will still lose winning happens when you don't even expect it but the once you are expecting you will make money from are the ones you won't even win.  Be careful with the amount used when placing bet because when you lose those amounts you will feel very bad and when ever you remember the fact that you lost a huge amount of money to bet.

Just like crypto bet what you can afford to lose, because any day you allow your self to be tempted and you over your budget and you lose then you will actually feel the lose very well compare to other days and you would have even prefer to actually spend to money to eat than to have lost it, their a lot of things attached to gambling that you need to understand if you want to be at peace with gambling, taking risk is good but their should be a limit to the kinds of risk you will take.

The more you try to win the more you will fail.

Just think of it this way. You come to gamble for fun. You have clear mind, you're relaxed, you work well under pressure because of that. If you lose you focus on something else until the next session.

You come to gamble because you're an addict. You feel the pressure of previous losses. You're scared because you know you can't go over your budget. You probably told someone that you will not gamble and feel scared they might find out. You can't let go, you gamble even when tired which leads to more losses and more frustration.
It's a downward spiral.

I agree with this because in the end, the more you try to keep winning in gambling, the more you have to be prepared to accept failure because this is like a certainty that is difficult to change.

Indeed, in this case gambling, we certainly expect a fortune to get a win but in the end if we are too focused on winning, it is certain that we lose the game because our focus which initially enjoyed gambling turned into ambition which actually made you do some ways that could actually be said to be rushed just because of the ambition to get a win. With this ambition, you will actually be troubled in maintaining your self-control in gambling and not paying attention to any conditions considering that the focus is only on winning and when you get a loss, it will not be a satisfaction and do it again and again because the ambition and emotions of gambling have entered you in the end which makes the loss even greater in the end.

It's actually funny kind of to imagine that someone will be depressed and see gambling as an option or solution to his problem. I don't really think in my wildest thinking that gambling could resolve any depression. I sincerely can't result to gambling even if it is seen as a thing of fun. It can't be a way to unwind my already depressed self. That will be compounding more issues to my existing ones. What I will do is to take a walk, go to the gym and pray to God for his guidance. I will also take out quality time to watch motivational true life stories, read books and engage in long conversations with friends and family.

Gambling is in every stage and its start from being a careful gambler to one who is ready to take high risks without considering the outcome. There is an anthem that every gambler should know by now and that is that the outcome is either to win or lose. And because of that knowledge no matter the outcome it shouldn't change our emotions. Because it won't change the fact that we win or we lose. Meanwhile, we can't control our mood in gambling, so we should keep our emotions and facial expression in  check so i wont affect others around us.

The more you try to force the wining and dont know when to quit. Then your hypothesis can be proven to be correct. Sometimes the opposite is results in some cases. Most persons get lucky when they try to chase wins.

Gambling does effects on our mood but the purpose of it was the effect was in positive way. But it is also nothing disagreeable things that excessive can effect on our mood on the bad way like when we do the excessive gambling it will be cause of our depression instead of giving us enjoyment. But I will also say that if we follow the gambling rules then it might not be cause of our depression at it all.

You have a point because in gambling many things are involved with you mood can be determined based on your winnings or losses, but one thing we need to focus on most is having a way that we can reduce the chances of getting depressed if you lose a game. You have the idea of choosing another source of entertainment, which is also a good one, but at the same time, gambling also influences many other negative behaviours. You will take anything as long as it is related to the game as ambling,  although that usually affects those that are too deep into gambling. 
 
But the solution I have now that I normally use when I lose a game in order not to get depressed on the money I lost is to keep friends that are so funny so that they will accompany you and make you laugh to the extent that you will forget about the loss, which I think is the best solution in some of the solutions of being depressed about gambling lost. 

The atmosphere of the day like this will always happen to anyone, especially those who are still beginners and hope to win in one gamble.
First of all there may be a win to be obtained, and it is exciting to keep placing bets or placing Max Bet for more profits.

But online gambling will play its system, playing algorithms that have been set up in such a way as to affect the gambler's psychology.
They will be in a position when the defeat continues to occur without any commensurate return. Want to continue, but capital is running low.

But maybe when in the last seconds or when they have made a re-deposit, there will be a win obtained, it is a big win but if in total it is not worth the amount of money that has been spent, but they already feel happy and want to pass it on. In a phase like this it is the most terrible and will make a person become a gambling addict without having any control at all.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/21/74GB9.png

I don't gamble to get rich from gambling, just an entertainment with minimal capital and don't expect a big win, If a win happens it's just a bonus for the fun to get.

Gambling plays a big role in our mood in an intense way. That is why many people unconsciously seek for gambling, because they want to have their mood directly impacted by the adrenaline gambling proportionates. They want to feel excited and thrilled, because it's a pleasant emotion for many people, although there are some people who are aversive to sensations of risk, especially women, and that is another reason why there are more male gamblers than women.

Anyway, gamblers have to be careful, because seeking for a determined mood can be addicting, while at same time the expected mood is not assured to be achieved by the gambler, as regrets and pain inevitably come after a severe loss, and then their mood won't be changed on the way they were expecting for at first point.

Whatever will lead to depression should be avoided because depression can lead to death. It is like a slow poison and this is why one should gamble responsible and quite the game when you have exhausted the amount that you can afford to lose, instead of taking more risk to see if to u can recover your losses.

In gambling loses are inevitable and that is why if you are to limit your losses and don't chase your losses so that you can gamble and live a healthy life without any challenge of your peace and rest of mind. Only people that feels gambling is a means of income that will face depression if they don't realize quick that they are wrong with their orientation on gambling.

I mean I don’t understand why people gamble if it affects their moods so damn negatively. I mean for me it certainly affects my mood, but not to the point where it’s extremely problematic. I only bet enough most times where it gets me excited, or puts more excitement in to a game that otherwise really wouldn’t have much for me
Personally.

From the whole thing, what I always notice about gambling is that if you expect too much from it, you will definitely end up spending too much instead, and the too much you spend without getting any positive results will lead the person down to depression as their high expectations that made them invest too much time and money in gambling have turned out to be just imagination. 

It depends on your motive for gambling some people gamble to make money while some gamble for fun, they are not really after the money. For those that gamble for the money it is easier for them to get sad when they are losing money and these are the only set of people that may get depressed after losing a bet while those who gamble for fun are not really bothered about anything.

Gambling is not supposed to be taken too seriously because of it’s uncertainty, nothing is guaranteed and it has a 50/50 chance of success. Involving one’s emotions to gambling is a very terrible idea, it will always lead to bad decisions and can also lead to addiction. Another important tip is to always gamble money you can afford to lose so you don’t feel bad when you lose.

with that statement I agree and of course spending a lot of money on gambling is not good, that's why we should not hope too much for gambling because it will only allow us to spend money that exceeds our ability, also why will it definitely only spend a lot of money because the defeat that will occur more often is what will be experienced, not often getting victory, then the feeling that will arise when hoping too much for gambling is annoyance or even a desire for revenge when it ends in defeat.
that's the importance of considering gambling as just entertainment, so that there is no disappointment from the final result of the gambling that is done. with the many cases that have occurred, I think it's because they really hope too much for gambling, thinking that gambling can give them a definite victory, while in reality it's not like that.

Well, you are right, but then, just as you tried to mention but didnt go deep in your explanation, depression is not something that comes easy, it's common amongst gamblers today but it's not a stage a gambler gets to overnight , some a person to enter into a depressed phase in their life as a result of gambling loses, such one must either have been gambling for years and possibly sat down one day to estimate the total amount of money he or she has lost to gambling, and he or she realized it's a huge sum of money that is capable of changing his or her life situation at that very moment, such gambler can become depressed then, and this type of depression is hard to come out from except on really serious intervention.

Meanwhile on the other hand, some one can lose money he or she never did plan to lose, and or can't afford to lose, sadness about the loss can lead such a person into becoming depressed, but this type of depression is easy to overcome, since it can only last for a short period of time because as soon as the gambler learns and decides to forget the loss and move on, that depression will immediately disappear, unlike the first example I gave where the gambler will have to live with that regret all his life, anytime he tries to move on and remembers how he has wasted money and opportunities in the past which has resulted to the hard life he or she is living today, he or she becomes depressed again.

Oh okay, now I understand. That's if we let it grow to that point.

We must learn how to let go and accept that we are going to lose against the house. That's how the system was made and the only thing to avoid depression is to suck it up and learn from the experience.
I have lost a lot but I have never been to a point where I would say I am depressed. Sure, I get frustrated by the thought of unfairness but I always tell myself that it is how gambling works and I must accept that.
After a day or two I will try to forget about it. Play like I am in a new game and just forget about the losses that happened because we cannot live with the past or else it's going to wreck us.

When playing gambling, it is not possible to have no emotion involved; of course, that depends on how we handle it. Whether you win or lose, you will feel emotions in a situation like this. And often, when we lose in a row, the response of our emotions comes in, which is not good, which often results in not being good.

Though it's right when we play in any casino online that we should accept that we will lose, and that's really the good thing to do, unlike when you don't expect it but you expect a high winner, which is also not good.

It can only lead to depression when the amount you have lost playing gambling at the casino online in the crypto space is too large, especially if the only thing you have done to recover your loss is to borrow a lot or sell other assets. that you have then, in the end, also ended up in defeat with almost nothing left of your possessions.

In such scenarios, a gambler often develops depression, and others, when unable to handle it, end up committing crimes or even committing suicide, right? I have read and watched it several times in other news stories in other countries and even here in our country. And those who often experience this are gambling addicts, not responsible gamblers.

Interesting. Without going to those extremes I have experienced sometimes, when playing more than usual to reach a rakeback milestone, how it affected me negatively, so years ago I decided not to do it, always playing a moderate number of hours that I know it feels good and does not negatively affect my mood.

In this graph I can understand how for example when I see people who play slots in person and do not stop, they have a behavior similar to that of the junkie who seeks the high of the first shot but never gets it, but one that gives him less satisfaction, while sinking him in the hole.

The graph is very illustrative.

I think this chart applies to all bad addictions, including drug addiction and alcoholism. All addictions develop cyclically and this is their danger, when a person's mood chart grows and he thought that things had gotten better, but in fact it is only a small increase before a new big fall. And so every time. Therefore, it is very important to be able to keep your character with a steel grip, and be strict with yourself.

Gambling is psychology, money and fun. But as it turns out, no business should combine so many aspects, because then it can capture all the attention of a person. And this is bad and unnatural.

Nope. Even a new gambler can undergo depression, and TBH, they have a higher chance of getting depressed because they don't know the feeling of losing money in gambling. If you will ask those who've been gambling many times, they might say that it's completely normal for them already if they lose, but for a new gambler, it isn't normal and there's a chance that they might get depressed.

Saying to a gambler to focus on the entertainment side of gambling rather than the profit side is very easy, but it's hard to apply. After all, we all need money more than anything, isn't it? There might be a few gamblers out there that are using gambling as their stress-reliever, but most of them aren't unfortunately. I've seen gamblers here in our community that went depressed after losing huge amounts of money through gambling. Some of them came to a point where they gambler their months worth of salary plus they borrowed from their family members. Fortunately for them, they have a huge family support so they overcame it, but some aren't, and they got succumbed to it. :(

Overall, if you can't control your emotions, don't gamble at all. If you care about profit in gambling, don't gamble at all.

A beginner usually has inflated expectations of the game and luck. He constantly thinks that a little more and he will win, but with each bet he is brought down to earth in reality, and the reality is that the casino wins. Of course, in a certain segment of bets you can sometimes win, and experienced players understand this, that wins and losses will most likely be cyclical, and beginners often only have victories on their minds. And depression is a natural process after expectations are not met, not only in the game but also in everyday life.

I often advise not to play for those who find it very difficult to accept losses. Perhaps this is the character of the player, or perhaps just genetics from parents, one of whom loves gambling, or something similar to this.

Very true because there is nobody that is losing and they will be happy regardless of what there reasons are for gambling. Both the individual that is gambling for fun and those gambling for money will both get depressed when they are losing. The difference between the two user is that while the gambler doing it for fun can control his emotions and take a break as you have said. The gambler that is doing it for money will go into depression and from there he can turn an addict because he would not quit or take a break as he should have done but will continue to gamble and put himself under pressure that it will be very hard for him to come out from. Gambling has impact on our emotions but it is not that difficult for us to have control when we are gambling, we just need to be observant.

Having the mindset of thinking that gambling is place to get rich quick as a newbie is common, because most newbies normally have this high expectations in gambling due to the source they first encounter it , may be where through peer group or via internet (social medias etc.) Because now and days you will come across alot of folks showcasing their wins via social medias how they make millions by just hitting the jackpot making it seems easy .

Which may eventually trigger that mindset of getting rich quick to some folks at there , and they will eventually go into gambling as with that same mindset ( of getting rich quick through gambling) . And with high expectations that they will eventually hit same jackpot, but at the reality stroke them. And they endup with big disappointment.

Winning in gambling will surely make our mood happy and many people experienced that when they win. They will feels that day will be better than before because they win some money from gambling. But that mood will change following what they get in that day. If they get bad experience, that mood change immediately and they will not happy but will be sad based on the current situation.

Our mood change every day but we learn to manage that mood not to effect our day so we can still do something that will give a good effect to us. If we talk about new gambler, they can lose their money anytime but they also have what we called beginners luck so they can win the game and get some money. But playing gambling needs to have control so we don't lose too much money and we only use the money that we can afford to lose. That is a suggestion that we get which we can follow to prevents the big lose and we can prevents the bad mood because of our lose.

You can only get to this point in gambling when you become addicted and obsessed, Letting it dictate how you feel simply means it has a grip on you and you are no longer doing it to have fun, this can be very unhealthy if you ask me because it can cause frequent emotional and psychological depression. Gambling can also affect your mood when you take a very high risk, some even go as as using their life savings, if you end up losing such a high amount it would definitely take a toll on your mental health. It's best to gamble with what you can afford to lose

Many gamblers lack risks in everyday life so they consciously increase risks in gambling. After all, such behavior carries not only risks but also increases the possible winnings. Naturally, overestimated risks very often lead to large losses resulting in feelings of guilt, depression, etc. This is not only subject to obsessive or gambling addicted players, because overestimate the risks can any gambler who lost control during the gambling session.

Social media makes everyone think they're one spin from wealthy. Although Lamborghinis and boats are glamorous, the reality is much less so. Casinos are built on math, not dreams. They make themselves rich, not you. They exploit newcomers' hopes. These people enter wide-eyed, thinking they're special. They're not.

Similar to late-night infomercials offering get-rich-quick programs. They pretend its easy, but its not. The actual world works differently. You want success? You must put in the time and effort. The top is accessible via stairs, not an elevator. Its possible to win. Anyone can be lucky. Gambling on luck is foolish. You're always down and the house wins. Remember that the only sure thing in a casino is that the casino will win.

Its not just about the gambler, but the culture. These online communities hype each other, celebrating their "wins" while ignoring their setbacks. This vicious loop is meant to hook you.

It is indeed difficult for someone to advise a gambling addict and no matter how hard you advise him, it will not enter the addict's mindset, so it is not surprising that with the cases you mentioned regarding crimes and suicide cases that are rampantly carried out by people who are depressed with gambling, will putting a gambling addict into rehab help cure his addiction to gambling? if he is really a serious addict in terms of gambling.

           -      That's true. When a gambling addict is addicted, it is difficult to listen properly because he is immune and focuses only on the desires of his thoughts, and it seems that what they are chasing is not the amount of money they are chasing but to meet the needs that they are looking for. body and mind.

Addiction is really depressing when the result of gambling is no longer good. It has happened several times to various gamblers on gambling platforms.

And it shouldn't be that way, of course. We should all strive to never lose ourselves during what is supposed to bring us joy and entertainment, rather than what you described.

I think the cause or trigger that causes the problem is always me because a gambler who from the beginning is wrong in responding to gambling, most of them do not know about the concept of gambling actually, "chance of winning" is always their main focus so that awareness of risk is ignored. As you said that the activity should bring joy, but what happens as we see that not a few or even the majority of gamblers actually experience significant tension and anxiety because what they expect is victory, meaning that pleasure or joy is likely to only be felt if from the start the gamblers are aware of the dangers of the risks that lurk and also when the gamblers realize that defeat is a natural part of the game.

If you are really just that noob then you would really be that definitely be having those common impressions that you could really be that easily be able to make yourself make money or profits with gambling
and this is where it would really be that making you desperate on the time that you would really be doing up such thing and on the time that you would really be able to have those kind of assumptions and perceptions
towards things then this is where you would really be putting up yourself on such big trouble. This is why it would really be best that you should really know at least on what you would gonna do and this is why it would really be better that on the moment that you would really be dealing up with gambling then make it sure that you wont really be having those kind of intents and perceptions.

When it comes on changing mood then of course this would really be that so common on which we know that it could really be that resulted due to that losing money on which its really that common
when it comes into this aspect.This is why on the moment that you do play gambling then you should really be having that kind of approacn or reaction on things that
you should really be that expecting about on great disadvantages and this is where it would be causing for  you to lose, so that you wont really be expecting something positive.

It’s always difficult to tell addicted gamblers to stop gambling, and they're going to listen to you. If you keep on advising them, it’s just like you're disturbing yourself. After speaking with some of them, they're going to tell you they already heard you and they will try to change, but that won’t make them change their minds about gambling. When you approach some of them and tell them about their gambling addiction, they will end up telling you they're not addicted to gambling, they know what they're doing, and they can stop gambling whenever they want.
 
seriously addicted gamblers are always finding it difficult to listen to advice, maybe it’s because they are being deceived by their fellow gamblers to keep on trying, and if they don’t give up, they will end up hitting a jackpot.

All this are expressions of indiscipline gambling because I believe that's the best explanation to why any one will gamble this bad, and getting to this point in gambling, you are definitely going to have it affect your mood, it's not rocket science, no one will see their life savings going down thw drain and not panic at some point, its almost not possible.

When gambling for the purpose of making money off gambling, this is one of the biggest challenges one gets to suffer because you only get affected so badly when you are using an amount important to you to gamble, such that could be considered that which you wouldn't want to lose.

Honestly, it is always hard for someone who is an addicted gambler to take advice. Many of them will give a listening ear, but the truth is that they will hardly follow someone's good advice to stop gambling. No matter what happens to them, they will hardly take advice. But what I notice from some of these gambling-addicted people is that many of them don't always realize they are addicted to gambling. They always see it as just gambling normally, unlike some people who are not addicted.

When someone is addicted to gambling, they always believe that one day they will win, especially a big win. That belief is what keeps them continuing to lose money in gambling until they sell their properties to pay for gambling. Their mindset is already set on the idea that one day they will make it big from gambling.

Well gamblers committing suicide is something very common in where am staying and this is because on an average almost every man seems to think that there is some sort of miraculous way to win gambling and be free of maybe financial situation that they are in and so many results to the practice of even going as far as buying some certain games online with the believe that it's going to turn out well for them and by so even pumping a whole lot of cash in the game.

Unfortunately, many gamblers experience a situation that splits their personality into two parts. One: this is a positive guy who wants to win and believe in a bright future. And the other: this is a person who does not believe in winning and understands that the hole is only getting deeper and deeper. Until suicide becomes a solution to this hopeless situation. It should not be like this. The personality should be like a monolith.

An addict will suffer these cycles every session and not giving them money to play will turn them violent and when violence is not an option, depression will set in. It is an endless cycle and thus people who are starting to become addicted to gambling need to control their habits.

In other words, moderation is the key term here. Keep it limited, set your own limits and gamble while religiously following those set rules. Eventually you will find that the rules are strong enough and you are starting to hate gambling and decide to stop playing completely, which is a good thing.

Mental health disorders are not something to be trifled with. Get professional help for those who are feeling the need.

Things can get even worse than that, because as they keep digging themselves into a hole from which they cannot escape, their positive attitude begins to evaporate, not only when it comes to gambling but life in general, and that is when things can get really dangerous, as a person without any hopes or dreams for the future can take all kind of erratic decisions that can make them to ruin their life definitely, unless they are able to escape somehow from that stage on their life.
