Gambling and Behavioral Change!!!

[swogerino]

Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.

Only when the losing becomes consistent you start not answering politely anymore but this happens only with friends and relatives,if this behavior gets in your way in your job place then it means that you have gone deep inside into addiction.That is what happens to me,I use to sometimes shout to my wife when she is talking to me for anything and I am experiencing constant losing through my gambling sessions.

I think when we win it is natural that we talk more slowly and more politely because our mood is better,dopamine is at really high levels this time much different than when you are losing and as such you are happy most of the time.These 2 types are normal gamblers behavior in most instances.

well you are not the only one that actually feels that way when the experience of gambling at that period is on a lose. Whether we like it or not gambling tend to alter our behavior and I have seen so many cases and even myself would be a case study because winning experiences will bring happiness and losing the opposite. Many gambler I have meant go as far as even blaming people on their gambling mistake that lead to lose and they find fault and excuse to pin the blame on others.

Lolz, 
This kind or type of behavior is absolutely normal, nothing special or unique about it, it's a norm for every gambler is you ask me. Like I have always said here, and will continue to say, no body enjoys losing money, even if we are gambling just to have fun, there will always be that emotional attachment that causes us to be extremely happy when we win a game(depending on how much is won by the way), and that same emotional attachment will also make us extremely sad when we are losing, and the worst part of being sad is that, it doesn't just end with us alone, we generally tend to extend this anger to those around us, people that have no involvement in our being angry tend to suffer, and this completely saddens me.

There have been a day I flogged my little daughter so hard, and on a Normal circumstances, I shouldn't flog her that much, but I did it because I was angry due to the money I lost on a game, and later on, while watching her cry, I felt pity for her and had to apologize.
Gambling is crazy if we can't control it's effect on our behavior.

Technically, gambling doesn't cause you any behavioral changes but addiction does, that means if you feel that your other activities are affected due to the results of your gambling then it's a sign of symptoms and the severity really depends on the addiction level.

On a note, it's not a big deal to get angry for losing $100 but if that becomes a pattern then it sure has to be addressed ASAP.

[MainIbem]

Transferring and expressing painful behavior to our friends and relatives is always a common things that is almost over all gamblers except for the responsible gamblers or those who are known to per time gamblers most times you hardly noticed about it from them since is not what they regularly carry out like those regular gamblers, whenever a lost is recorded we always feel bad by which affect causing us a mood swinging with provocation what has occurred could make them effecting the effects on their fellows.

[Odusko]

I used to experience mood swings while gambling sometimes, and 8n most cases, what I have observed to be the cause of that is gambling along my feelings, in the sense that, sometimes when I am tired, instead of just going to have some rest, I still gamble trying to at least achieve some winning that can be a relief for my anxiety and my feelings, but still on still I end up feeling angry and bad if my bet failed to come through so for sure your mood will definitely be affected if you don't put in place the right mentality and maturity to develop a balanced ground that will not shift your feelings no matter what happens.

I guess everyone experience behavioral changes when gambling. Gamblers have a lot of emotions, it showed when they're happy and winning, same when they're sad and losing. So expect that when you see a gambler at loss, never try to annoy him, otherwise you will receive your reward after. But make fun for those who are gambling in profits, because surely they will appreciate your jokes even more.

However, for those who answer no, I think they are still starting to gamble and still learning to appreciate gambling. But when they get used to gamble in most of their life, which means that losing will be a lot, tell me then if they are still unaffected with gambling most especially if they are in the losing end.

You just gotta gamble and leave emotion out of it. No matter what happens when you start a session or end a session, you haven't won or lost until you stop for the day. I think its hard to keep emotion out of it because gambling is all about the thrill(emotion). If you can train your brain to not get emotional, you might stop yourself from making wreckless bets and save yourself lots of money.

There's no way you'll lose money and not feel any type of emotion be it happy or sad/angry.
Sometimes it's not just about the money you lost, but the fact that you lost. Even if someone else staked with his own money for you to play you'll still feel sad when you lose. The idea that you had an opportunity to win money but didn't is saddening.
So what he should learn is not how to be emotionless because that's not possible.

In my opinion I feel we should learn how to keep our emotions in check, how to control our emotions. We are sad or angry doesn't mean we'll take it out on others who have absolutely no role to play in the way we feel.
As gamblers we all feel a certain way after a losing or winning. We have to try to make sure our attitude doesn't affect those around us negativity. We have to always keep ourselves in check at all times. This is a way to keep us from becoming gambling addicts.

[maydna]

Yes, I used to experience this when I was still gambling. If I lose, there is a desire to continue gambling to recover from the loss. If I win, I want to get a bigger win. I had a lot of problems at that time because I couldn't control my emotions and ego well. And I agree with you @OP, that we get angry easily over simple things. However, I realized that I had to change and stop everything by learning the necessary things. I have now started to change, and it has really changed me. Promotions do not easily tempt me, and I only gamble if I really want to gamble.

[Orpichukwu]

That's not something new, but in all we do, men just need to learn how to control themselves when ever they lose money. Allowing yourself to be emotionally trapped and having feelings about how you view things change is really not a cool thing to do.
 
This is why we are always advised to leave gambling when we are not in a good mode, and somehow one can train himself so that such a situation won't be able to affect their emotional feelings deeply, as they will just have to consider both the winnings and the losses as one of those things and just move on with other activities of life without allowing even the next person to notice it and talk more about their suffering as a result of your gambling result.

Yes, it's a rather common behavior among gamblers and not only gambling addicts I think. When you're on a winning streak, it's like you're on top of the world, you think you've masterized the game and nothing can resist you and you're about to become rich because you think it's "your turn" to get lucky. But on losing days, it's a different story, you feel the exact opposite, you feel depressed, you think you're a loser, you're not able to do anything good and you're definitely unlucky.

Its nice to read about your testimony and tonknow you were able to regain control of the emotional flows. We all have had such experiences as gamblers particularly in the beginning of our gambling when not so much have been gotten about how gambling is all about. I honestly don't care anymore about how much I have lost in the session and that's the strategy I use to not get emotional about thinking how much must have left my pocket instead I just decide I have reached my limit and it's a enough for the day. Was kind of hard to keep up with initially but progressively I have been able not to think of my losses as I do with winning.

Of course there is no need to share any more information with us that you have already done, but it would be interesting to know whether this is an observation of yours that only occurs when you are gambling? What about a bad day at work or a good day at work? Perhaps your boss was angry or some people were attacking you at work, what is your emotional state after other bad experiences? Is your behavior towards your family similarly dependent on other negative or positive events in life? If not, it is psychologically interesting and there is probably something to be found about that on the Internet, but narrowing down the scope of a problem would be a good start.

the experience will always vary from person to person as we have different situations in life. but the most important thing is how you rise up from your situation and as you said regain control of yourself.

do remember, don't get too attached with your losses or winnings. you will go crazy if you will put your head into this and worry every bet you make. though i can't totally say, i always abide within my limits, but i do frequent check of my situation. so i need to remind myself what i really would be compromised if i will go overboard. do i want myself to be subjected in a grueling spot and have the feeling of regret? or better yet, sticking to my financial capability so as not to lose my mind if i lost it all? i believe, it is a better choice if you have lesser problems, right? so the choice should be clear on yourself for this one.

This was the common way of gambling impacts to all the gambler,if they encountered the loss in the gambling.The reason for this was very simple,we are using the real money for the gambling.Which is the problem of loss can be used for the monthly expenses of the family man,this also may be the school fee of their children.The foremost thing need to remember as the gambler was,you should not use the money which was the budget of the other stuffs.The gambling also boost our ego to win more then we had loss in the previous bet,but the gambler will get the ego only if he had made big win in the previous bets.

That is normal when you are on a losing streak. You become angry because who wants to get into a losing streak and you're losing always everything that you have? Anyway, what's abnormal is about your anger issues. It's normal to be upset when things to go accordingly to what you are expecting in return.

And if you've been affected with it and your anger is being transferred to the other people like in your family members. That's a wrong call though and that's why you need to manage your anger as much as you can because you'll never know what the person you're talking to and seen your anger because of gambling. You need to change and manage to control your anger whenever you gambled badly this day.

Because the impact and impression goes to you and you being a gambler that they should think that for you to be normal and lively without anger is not to gamble or else, they'll resort that gambling is giving a person angerness and that's going to give them hate not just on you but also to gambling.

No, I do not bring my gambling performance outside the gambling platform.  If I lose I lose, since I only gamble what I can afford to lose, it does not affect my relationship and mood.  Besides I have the habit of not showing my frustration in front of other people since I always laugh it out whenever I encounter some loss in gambling.  For me, there is nothing to lose in gambling anyway since I already considered the amount I deposited in the gambling platform as spent so losing them is does not make a difference.

the experience will always vary from person to person as we have different situations in life. but the most important thing is how you rise up from your situation and as you said regain control of yourself.

True!  People have different way of reacting to loses.  So a person may get infuriated, short tempered and easily agitated when losing in their gambling session while other just shrug their shoulder and move on as if nothing happens.

[Litzki1990]

It is normal for this to happen because gambling has lost your money and at that time you will feel bad and you will not be able to behave normally. No one in my family knows that I gamble but I noticed a lot of changes in my behavior when I lost most of my money in the early days of gambling. After losing money in gambling when my mother would talk to me about something nice or call me out on something I would still get angry and misbehave for no reason. Losing is not expected by everyone everyone expects to win and make money but winning and losing is not what everyone expects. Now I bet less and my winnings are bigger, so I've been able to sort myself out in that direction.

[Yatsan]

Stress could change tour behavior especially frustration wherein you'd be easily irritated with things. This happens a lot after a huge loss in gambling wherein even the slightedt inconvenience would negatively change your mood. This is also a sign that you are already being consumed by this activity. One reason why we should be preventing ourselves to bet across the amount or loss tolerance. In my case, I am anticipating loss and never disregarding the possibility of it in order to safeguard myself from regrets and frustration. This helped me control and lessen negative emotions after gambling and have improved my gambling expenses as well. Going all out in gambling will make us broke for sure; you could win a one time big time jack but it won't be enough to cover all of your losses eversince.

I mean, this is quite the obvious that a person would feel irritated if they lost a certain amount of money when they lost; and if the person won, they would feel generous and kind to others.

This is nothing but natural human behaviour that we are more kind, happy, and respectable if we experience a good/positive outcome. In the contrary, a negative outcome would most likely affect our mood, thereby making us more aggressive and sensitive at the same time.

This natural human behaviour applies to gambling which is purely dependent on the outcome of the game. If a certain gambler won, then he would feel happy; if he lost, then he has the potential to be aggressive to his surroundings (though this also depends on the goal of a person if they gamble for money VS if they gamble for entertainment).
