Tilt in gambling

[Eureka_07]

<snip>

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

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

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

Have you experienced tilt over the long game?  How have you dealt with it?  How do you think you can gamble with a cool head, and how do you make yourself a good brake inside)   And why do people in general like to gamble?   I never thought I would enjoy gambling) I remember playing cards for change with my cousin as a child, it was very funny when she lost, fell on the table and shouted that it was all mine)

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

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

[darewaller]

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. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How do you think you can gamble with a cool head, and how do you make yourself a good brake inside

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

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

And why do people in general like to gamble?  I never thought I would enjoy gambling)

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

Better leave it that way.

[Aikidoka]

To be honest, I'm mostly relaxed when I gamble. Sometimes, I even watch my sports betting games live on TV. I feel happy when I win, but even if I lose, I stay calm and take it in stride. There's no need for me to stress over gambling since it largely depends on luck

Have you experienced tilt over the long game?  How have you dealt with it? 

I only tilt when I'm really close to winning a large sum of money and end up losing in the last game. Unfortunately, I have experienced this before. However, I deal with it normally and just get a bit angry at first. But then, I forget about it the next day since I don't bet with high amounts of money.

And why do people in general like to gamble?   I never thought I would enjoy gambling)

There's a lot of people who enjoy gambling and see it as a hobby or a recreational activity that makes them feel good. However, it can also be addictive for some individuals. The allure of winning big with little effort is tempting, and it can be exciting at times imo.

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

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

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

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

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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

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

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

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

[Oasisman]

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

[Findingnemo]

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

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

[BitcoinPanther]

Have you experienced tilt over the long game?

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

How have you dealt with it?

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

How do you think you can gamble with a cool head

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

and how do you make yourself a good brake inside

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

 And why do people in general like to gamble?

 

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

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

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