Gambling and Behavioral Change!!!

[ultrloa]

Gambling usually affects behavior. If a person loses often, he may fall into severe depression or, on the contrary, become irascible and aggressive. Each win can lead to unreasonable euphoria, foolish wastefulness, carelessness in financial matters. Therefore, it is extremely important for the player to fully control himself

Controlling yourself when gambling is a basic requirement, regardless of the size of your bankroll or the amount you're willing to risk.

easy said that done right? we can easily say to control self when in gambling but if we are the one who is playing ?truly we cannot act like that.

Correct, since sometimes even if we know how to be a responsible gambler still there are instances that we fail to execute it since we made a lot of fun playing especially joining on the contest held by a casino.

Maybe if this scenario came we need to prepare to lose since for that we can minimize the exact mental damage brought up by losing and we cannot get affected much if we already know how not to expect something with this.

But even though we are still facing this situation even if we are considered as experience gambler we should settle up all things to make all things fine at our end. Also what's more important there is we didn't experience any huge lose since we already know how to settle up things and we already have separated funds to use for gambling especially on those big events held by a casino on any especially season.

Every gambler has experienced that. If you do/shown negative behaviour in front of your kid just because you lose in gambling, other gamblers can do much worse than that. I know someone who completely lost himself after having a huge loss. He unintentionally destroyed his laptop due to his anger.

Having a change in our behaviour is completely normal, we just have to realise that we should always control our emotions to avoid unnecessary bad things around us. I know it's not that easy, but it is also not easy if we possibly hurt someone physically or emotionally due to our anger. We can also unintentionally destroy our expensive things which is no one likes to happen.

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.

I believe this is a common human psychology, not just among gamblers. However, for gamblers, the emotional rollercoaster can be more intense. We could be elated by a winning trade, only to be immediately frustrated by missing the next opportunity or facing a loss. The emotional shifts happen faster and more frequently compared to non-gamblers. Additionally, when gambling or engaging in short-term trading, emotions like FOMO (fear of missing out) or frustration often impact our mood.

I believe so, the change of mood makes the change in behavior, it happens to me all the time especially if you sleep the next morning will be based on your mood when you win or lose. Basically it is the same with trading, ask a trader what their mood is after losing or winning a trade.

A few years ago, when I entered the cryptocurrency market, these emotions often took control, especially when trading futures. I even found myself getting angry at those around me just because I missed an order due to a phone call or some other distraction. Now, although those emotions still linger, I've learned to control and not let them burst out like before. However, complete elimination is nearly impossible unless I stop engaging in these activities entirely.

I agree, it's part of our emotions that is still persisting even how hard we try not to connect it with to. At the end of the day, we are all humans that has an emotion which is very likely can be affected by everything we do.

I had a behavioral change when I was starting and looking back it's natural, like you I have tantrums also I easily get angered every time I lose and very jolly when I win, we're just human we attach our behaviors based on the outcome of our gambling, which for me back then are all wrong.
Gamblers are also going through these phases of their gambling journey, you can be at your worst or you can improve and be better.
The hardest is trying to change your ways because you are becoming annoying to your loved ones and you cannot concentrate on your work anymore.
It's a big struggle when you are hooked on gambling and you want to change and become the same guy again before you become hooked on gambling.

This is truly relatable. I do feel down whenever i loss in gambling but one thing i try not to do is to make it obvious to people around me or start expressing anger towards them. I feel it is unprofessional to do that. A gambler should learn this so that he won't get anyone hurt. Because the way you express yourself from the OP it is certain that your child will notice and start being afraid of you.

There are ways to avoid these behavioral changes. Which is to maintain discipline when gambling. You can start with not gambling with funds you don't want to lose. This is because if you loss those funds you will feel angrier because you never wanted to use them to gamble in the first place. Another way to avoid behavioral chances is to learn how to control emotions.

The approach that you apply to handle losses in gambling is commendable. Keeping a level head and not expressing anger or frustration towards those around you is a sign of maturity and self-control. Recognizing the potential impact on those close to you, especially children, is something important in maintaining healthy relationships. Your advice on maintaining discipline in gambling is valuable. Setting clear limits on the funds you are willing to risk is a practical strategy to avoid unnecessary stress and frustration.

Gambling with money that you can afford to lose helps in preventing financial strain and emotional distress if things don't go as planned. Learning to control emotions is a key aspect of responsible gambling. Emotions like anger and frustration can cloud judgment, leading to impulsive decisions. Your awareness of these issues and the steps you take to mitigate them not only contribute to yourself but also create a positive environment for those around you. Responsible gambling is not only about winning or losing but also about how you handle the entire experience.

I have no idea how can such person exist in this world since destroy or damage his own stuff because of emotion is completely dumb. He forget if make money isn't easy and it's pointless to did that, it's better if he spend it by buying foods, beer, or other thing that can make him happier.

Seek a professional is really need in this case, not only an addict need to seek a professional.

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.

If we do not try to gain control over ourselves, we will not be able to imagine what will happen to us. I admit that it was very difficult when I wanted to try it because there was an urge that was trying hard to get me to keep gambling. But I remembered all the bad events I experienced, and that's what made me try hard to fight it again. That's what I also conveyed to my friend who almost had the same problem as me, and fortunately, he wasn't as serious as I experienced, so he was able to come back well and can now enjoy his gambling activities as entertainment. Yes, it is better not to think about how much loss we have experienced because as long as it is the amount of money we can afford, it means we are ready for all the risks and can accept them well. We just need to enjoy the gambling game and stop when we have had enough gambling.

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's why we have to be able to allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and always stay within that limit so that we don't gamble excessively. By having a budget for gambling, we will try not to violate it because if not, we could experience problems in our family finances, and this will definitely have an impact on the allocation of funds for other needs. Someone may have experienced this to the point that they have to adjust the amount of money they still have to be able to meet their daily needs, and that is really hard to do. But by having limits in the gambling budget and also having good self-control, we will always stay within reasonable limits for gambling and will not try to exceed those limits.

The behavior of getting angry at every slightest thing after winning as well as been very happy and in good spirit when a gambler loses is one of one trait that I think is found among 85% of gamblers but the ability to manage one's emotional feelings during those times as not to allow them cause you issues that you'll later regret is what makes a gambler a responsible and matured one.

Whenever I lose in gambling, my best approach is to avoid my close friends and family at the very moment until I've finally gotten over my loss and that has helped to control my potential excess reactions to things that I might not even react to when I didn't lose money. It's absolutely unwise to for one to allow his emotions to get the better of him and as gamblers, we are supposed to always regulate our behaviors when we lose in gambling as well as when we are winning.

That's right, we control ourselves when we gamble in the casino. Especially if we are experiencing a loss here, hopefully, and as much as possible, we do not show our emotions that are not good for our children to see just because we lost playing gambling.

Because if we only know how to control our emotions, it is certain that our children will not see the bad effects of gambling when we play it, whether it is online or not.

[Ricardo11]

This is not only the case with you, but every gambler, when gambling loses their money, then only anger works in their head. After losing money they lose their balance completely and get angry at the slightest thing. That's normal, because at that time we just get angry and stubborn and completely messed up. At this time we should go somewhere, where there is a lot of wind and open air, like across the river. When we visit such places our mind calms down and brain becomes light. As a result, you will find yourself back to normal. So gamble carefully, always play with what you can afford to lose so that you don't get into big trouble later on.

Wether we like it or not, there will always be a behavioral change with gamblers each time they are gambling and not getting the expected outcome from it, this is more of an inherent actions that is common to everyone of us even in real life, we tend to be more remorseful when we pass through any stage of being disappointed, but we cannot deny that some gamblers don't actually mind or take it serious even when this happens because they are not playing to earn but to make fun.

Because if we only know how to control our emotions, it is certain that our children will not see the bad effects of gambling when we play it, whether it is online or not.

That is why we must always be able to put something in accordance with its portion, or that means if you are gambling then not at a time when you are gathering with family or especially with your children, it is really not recommended, emotions will not always be able to be blocked because it is spontaneous. This is really an action that is not recommended, go ahead if you want to gamble but on condition that you must be able to find the right time to do this activity.

So the point is if you want to engage in gambling activities, especially those based online, please go ahead as long as you have to know when the right time to do it is, don't let your children see your upset reaction as a result of a defeat that you cannot accept, self-control is good but not everyone can do it because as I said spontaneity is involved there so not everything can be planned.

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.

I think the only thing that will make any person to be sad in gambling is when they gamble more than they can afford to lose, you shouldn't be sad over something that you can not control, if your check your errors and mistakes and is something that can be adjusted then that is the next thing that you need to reconsider and review if it worth been change, tweak or simply start a new strategy that will make you win.

The only thing I have notice in gambling when I win, I get over excited and I can't just hide it because the joy and overwelming profit is just difficult to hide and do share it with people and anytime I does this, my money get quickly finish because beg which is normal because when you win gambling money, people sees it as money to be eating and enjoyed. However, I observed that I don't share it again with people because it is annoying to see how the money quickly even when I know human nature with need and trying to be generous at the same time.

concerning the winning days, I just go out and buy one or two things in the store from the cashout and save the rest for the day, it was then I do feel too happy but now, it's like a normal thing and for the lost, I just brush it up and move on like nothing happen.

[xSkylarx]

All of us might be the same, the only difference is that others can control themselves properly like even when they feel angry they are still able to control it, not to the point where you will scold your kid because of just a few small mistakes. I am the same with you. Sometimes I lose a lot but this is rare because I rarely play but mostly I easily lose my temper after the game so what I do is that before talking to other people I let myself cool down first.

Whether a gambler is addicted or not. Behavioral changes occur in such gamblers who expect something good from gambling. I also bet myself and when I win I am very nice to everyone but when I lose I try not to misbehave with anyone but keep quiet. My family members have identified that I feel anxious at times. The truth is almost always gambler's remorse. If anyone says he has no regrets, he must be lying. Everyone regrets less and more when they lose in gambling. But of course a gambler should focus on maintaining self-control whether winning or losing.

Transfer of aggression is common amongst humans, not just gamblers. Displaced anger can be caused from the childhood stage, how parents treat a child can leave such a bad emotional behavior in them, when they get to adulthood. Many people who transfer aggression, lose good relationships and end up becoming sad people. It's good Op has noticed his disorder, and seeks help, as most people won't figure it out. Gambling can be a catalyst that triggers displaced anger. Which disorder, affects the people they're ushering the anger to. The recipient won't understand why their friend or brother is harsh on them. Therefore it develops confusion in the recipient's brain, asking themselves too many questions, what could be wrong, how did I go wrong? Now that Op is aware of his emotional disorder, he needs some rest, to deal with stress. He may have invested too many hours in gambling and figuring out analyses and strategies that'll work.

People who destroy their devices like you mentioned, should be suffering from a different stage of displaced anger, they are getting too aggressive. And need adequate attention, before it gets out of control. They can easily hurt loved ones in the process. Taking them to a hospital or a psychologist would be a good idea. I normally say that gambling contributes a little to most of the problem people think is caused by gambling. Anxiety and heartbreak cause addiction to gambling. You see that emotionally stable gamblers rarely get addicted to gambling, as their losses don't affect their joy or happiness. If you are close to such a person, send them a letter to visit a psychotherapist. What actually, led them to lose much money in gambling is mainly the problem not gambling. People also have purchasing problems, they don't know why they bought a problem. It's also a sign of psychological problems. Which needs to be looked into, and solved immediately. As they blame it on gambling if they venture into gambling and begin to spend their money on slot games.

Behavioural changes occurs in every individuals after win or loss situations and its natural like I saw individuals who tortured their families when they loss money in gambling. There are two reasons behind their behavioural changes one is that they cannot tolerate their Loss and another is that they tortured their families only  that they allow some amount again to them so they can bet easily once more.

Whenever gambler win they wants to give everything to his family but if they fail to win then they wants to snatch each and everything because at the time of their loss they cannot see other people in happy mood. I think this a very bad behavior and due to such behavior gambling is consider as a bad job in our society.

If the gambler had a good winnings,he will help the people around him with the money.If the gambler was in the loss,he will show his hate to all his friends and family members.Eventhough he mange himself by the words of next win possible in the gambling site.The loss is always the loss,whether the loss from the profit or loss from the used money doesn’t matter.The gambler should not share their pain or sad to their family members after the loss.He should not shows his anger to other because of the depression caused by the loss.If the gambler was professional in handling the stress,he can survive for the longer period.

It’s not uncommon for gamblers to have a switch in behavior from time to time based on the outcome of their bets.
This is relatively based on certain constraints to the bets. All of which amass from the stake and the level of clarity or dependency that one might have had on the bets.
Situations of a win is always associated with excitement and this isn’t always dependent on the amount involved but, there are levels to excitement that one might experience and it’s radiated to those within your immediate environment.
In cases of a lose; there you find constraints that might determine how angered you must be or just be cool. Most of those are as follows;

1. Minimal stakes: These always comes as you either trying to take chances or just playing for the fun of it and perhaps playing safe. In cases like this, there is nothing you can’t take based on the outcome of the bet and as such, your level to be upset is always minimal and might not be noticed by those within your space.

2. High risk stakes: when you go out of your way to put out some stakes, you establish some sort of dependency on them and in events that these bets don’t play out as predicted, your immediately impacted by the result. I’m cases like this, you might as well transfer the aggression to the people around you.

This is one reason why you have to define your purpose for gambling.

Nobody is happy when he has lost heavily to gambling because you must have that regret in you and this must surely be emotional. There is one big factor that can control one when gambling which is our emotions. If you are allow your emotion to control you, you might end up making wring decisions and doing the wrong thing. This is why how to control our emotions matters a lot  because that is what makes one matured and will make you gamble responsible. Your kid wasn't the one that caused your loss, so please don't allow your emotions to make your treat him in the wrong way. Addiction is something bad and hard to control but if you are willingly to give it up, it is possible to achieve that.
