Tilt in gambling

[ufaiz50]

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

Have you experienced tilt over the long game?  How have you dealt with it?  How do you think you can gamble with a cool head, and how do you make yourself a good brake inside)

 

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

And why do people in general like to gamble?   I never thought I would enjoy gambling) I remember playing cards for change with my cousin as a child, it was very funny when she lost, fell on the table, and shouted that it was all mine)

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

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

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

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

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

[...]I give myself a 10 - 15mins water break.

I find this pretty effective as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and how do you make yourself a good brake inside) 

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

 And why do people in general like to gamble?   I never thought I would enjoy gambling) I remember playing cards for change with my cousin as a child, it was very funny when she lost, fell on the table, and shouted that it was all mine)

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

[Kakmakr]

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

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

[pungopete468]

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

[Peanutswar]

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

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

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