how do you avoid being stress in gambling?

[Yucky]

We all know that when gambling starts to stress us out, it often leads to addiction, as they say, gambling is supposed to be entertainment, so we should be enjoying it. But why are there times when we don’t feel happy at all? Instead, we feel stressed and the more we gamble, the worse it gets.

It even ruins our focus on things that are more important than gambling.

So how about you? have you ever felt stressed because of gambling? if yes, what did you do to overcome it?

As long as you are gambling and it's a game based on luck and probability where you have to experience some losses, you are bound to be stressed. So if you want to avoid gambling stress, you simply don't gamble. But when you are gambling, what you need to do is find a way to manage your stress.
For me, working to earn money to cover my gambling loss, if I consider a loss, gives me a sense of fulfillment. I just like the satisfaction of filling my account back.

Then taking a break, of course, and doing something not related to gambling at all like taking a walk, giving myself a treat, just seeing a nice movie helps me relax.
And above all, the mindset that is exactly why I don't gamble beyond my budget, so I won't feel pain that I lost money. The mindset that  this is for fun, and you can lose sometimes, just helps my mental state of mind when gambling.

You are right basically gambling is just a game that involves money in it. So it's supposed to release the stress, buy yeah when emotions take control, it can lead to addiction because of the money.
If you have bad mood when play gamble the best advice from me is just stop and don't do gamble because if you continue the game you can lose all of your money, and that can be happen so fast without you noticing it.

Like I said before, there is three option play the game you liked or just play other game like slot that have ton of games in it. Second play with demo account or third watch other people play. If all of that didn't work out just leave the site

This is what i said in my previous post.

If you feel stress is because you are clearly not "enjoying" it anymore and is doing much more harmfull, and is clearly because you ahve dependence or you are gmabling way to much money or money than you can afford.

So quit gambling now. For your health.

It's hard to argue with your judgment. That's what I wrote about earlier. If you feel stressed while playing in a casino, then it's time to think about stopping for a while. Until the game brings satisfaction and enjoyment of the action itself. I don't recommend using antidepressants. Well, that's not the solution, period. Also, don't try to win back. That's what causes stress and depression. It's better to switch to something else that won't weigh you down.

Fully agree with you man.

You wouldnt use antidepresants because like you said in your post you are only attacking the efect and not the cause of what you are feeling plus maybe because of the antidepresants you feel a little bit better and keeps gambling and thats put you in a much deeper hole.

I try as much as possible not avoid stress while gambling by not going beyond my capacity, this may involve the kind of bet played, the risk taken as well as the amount of time input in upon every bet and taking, these alone could be tiring if we fail to take care of them, I also ensure that my gambling is majorly full of fun, I don't gamble under being influenced or forced to do so, I also try to have some the best gambling experience under the gambling condition I find myself.

Gambling is very good in such a perspective, it is very important to set certain limits in gambling and stay within your means, because the possibility of losing in gambling is very high, and it can only lead to losses over time, so being responsible is very important.

The perspective in which you are gambling, if everyone gambles in this way, then they will never be addicted to gambling. So the first thing to do is to keep your own perspective right. Gambling can be very harmful if you lose self-control, so always be careful.

When gambling stresses you out it's a sign that you are doing it wrong and perhaps it would be better to take a break for a while in order for you to get your mind right.

This is very true.
Gambling is meant to be enjoyed, in fact, it’s meant to be an activity that’s supposed to help alleviate stress and not an activity that’ll end up stressing you. So if one is feeling stressed by gambling then it’s quite obvious that they’re not doing it with the right approach. In this case, it’s best to take a quick break and reassess your gambling habits and possibly strategies. By so, you’ll be able to dictate and identify where you’re getting it wrong.

Gambling is means enjoyment to everyone that's not correct, because in the gamble, different people’s had different perspective because some people’s treating it as earning money, and other people’s considering as entertainment. And i also would like to take it as fun, because i was never expected big thing from gambling, because gambling is kinda addiction.

[Negotiation]

The more one continues to gamble after losing the more one becomes addicted to it and the person loses control over himself while gambling. He knows that it is harmful but he continues to gamble the person addicted to gambling keeps chasing money and suffers from mental instability rhe best way out of this is to abstain from gambling. Play for fun and do not take any pressure also instead of gambling, keep yourself busy with other activities. Engage yourself in sports reading books listening to music or any other hobby. This will reduce mental stress and there will be no fear of loss.

Excessive gambling can lead to gambling addiction. But not everyone can be addicted to gambling. I would not call gambling an addiction, but it can certainly be an addiction for those who are greedy to get something from it and gamble accordingly. Every gambler is responsible for greed, for which we will not declare gambling an addiction. Those who gamble beyond their control will have chance of becoming addicted to gambling. Those who accept gambling as fun and can gamble without stress are not likely to become addicted to gambling. In gambling, I usually gamble with the amount of money that I will not regret if I lose that is why I will be able to gamble stress-free.

Indeed, it's a yes for me and no reason to hide that feeling because all of us who gamble undergo those challenges when it comes to betting. Thinking about overcoming, well that's the hardest part of being honest because emotions was too hard to battle. You'll become stressed so many times which leads you to depression if your finances will be affected. What I did is total rehabilitation, and keeping busy at work and spend time with family. Your choice really matters most because change isn't an option.

[nara1892]

Yes I believe that is where the problem lies about why a gambler often gets emotional when they lose, and as I said above that is the reason why we are often advised to only gamble with small amounts or amounts that we are really ready to lose, basically gambling is designed as a business for casinos whose goal is to make a profit and that profit is obtained from gamblers who lose so I think it is quite natural if for example more lose than win because after all the casino creates and organizes everything.

Many gamblers said they can't feel the adrenaline if they bet with small amounts, someone have discuss it in this forum.

The amount of the bet is a choice for gamblers and one of the reasons why I said above that gambling is more recommended to be done using a small amount is because logically we all never like losing large amounts of money, but on the other hand it is also up to the choice of the gamblers, meaning if for example you feel that betting with a small amount is not very fun because of the adrenaline problem then you can increase it but make sure it is not too big, meaning make sure that you are really ready when it turns out that the money is lost due to defeat. Don't be irresponsible just because you want to pump adrenaline, it must be considered because in the end betting with a large amount has the potential to direct and bring you closer to emotions.

[Oluwa-btc]

So how about you? have you ever felt stressed because of gambling? if yes, what did you do to overcome it?

The most helpful thing you can do for yourself if gambling is becoming a stressor is to rest, take a break, pause and I can go with more verbs. More gambling cannot cure gambling induced stressed. I believe that there is a thing such as gambling induced stress and not the stress that comes from your job and other place inwhich you turn to gambling to unwind.

Some factors that I think can cause this gambling induced stress are
- a losing streak
- a winning streak
- borrowing money to gamble
- indiscipline
-others

Most of all gambling triggers.Identifying gambling triggers can help to avoid financial stress and gambling stress as a whole.The most important thing to avoid in order to avoid gambling stress is the gambling triggers.Factors like emotions, financial changes and several interferences to ones life like loss of jobs can trigger one into gambling.

Normally gambling is a fun fair activity and hobby and not a source of stress too.So recognizing this triggers can help you manage stress and maintain a responsible gambling habits.

I don’t deny the fact that there are people who often have a misconception of gambling and then approach gambling based on these misconceptions, but the fact that gamblers approach gambling as a means of making money solely doesn’t mean that’s the right way to approach gambling. There’s a much safer way, and that’s gambling for fun, that way you could have fun and even still make money on the process, it’ll also enable you manage your bankroll effectively and also know the risks to take and the ones not to.

If people are not focused on their mental well-being while setting and continuing their course of action, then it might be a good idea to quit. If you can't keep your focus in the casino, then you should stop for that time. It could be under stress or when you're losing too much or winning too much. Stress and depression can ruin your focus and even your chances of getting your bets right. Antidepressants are effective as a quick positive pill but they can also put you in a deep hole in the long run and later on as you said. It's not really a feel-good factor that will not be positive for you.

All matters on how you would treating up gambling because there are really those people who are really that dealing up with gambling on which there are ones who are really that playing gambling for the sake of fun and there are ones who are really that for the sake of money making or making some profits. If you are playing gambling for the sake of money then at the time that you would really be having these loses then you would definitely be ending up on having that even more worse depression because losing money is never been that a good feeling that you could have. Play gambling for fun and its never been that that avoidable on having loses but of course its part of the game because if it was that meant for winning up the game then we are all become that winners and this is something that you would realizing at the time that you would be dealing up with gambling. Just make use of the amount on which you can afford to lose and never go past beyond these limits.

You're correct anyone who is gambling with the intention of having fun will never get stressed out during this process, because those who are gambling in other to have fun always set a limit on when they're going to stop from gambling, but if you're gambling for profit making definitely you will keep gambling nonstop without thinking of giving it a break. By so doing it can bring negative effect in ones life, obviously gambling for fun is considered as the only means in which one can avoid being stress when gambling.

If you ever gamble to the level where it causes you to lose focus and interest in other important things in and around your life, that's a clear sign of addiction to be honest with you, I have never gambled to the extent or level of having this type of feeling.

And let me say that gambling stress differs, and for me, it is OK to feel stressed whenever you are gambling and not winning, that is, being on a long losing streak that leaves the gambler in desperate desire of a win, and what I usually do at this stage is quit at that moment and get myself involved in other activities that is off gambling, this helps shift my focus to something else which helps me forget about that bad gambling experience.

By so doing it can bring negative effect in ones life, obviously gambling for fun is considered as the only means in which one can avoid being stress when gambling.

Gambling is like someone who buys the lottery, sometimes they lose and also lose, so anyone who gambles to make a profit will eventually become addicted to this, which is what makes a person stressed due to losing. Gamblers should know to regulate when they will play, just to have fun, rather than relieve stress, not look for stress. Calmness in gambling is still thinking positively, so you can avoid stress when gambling, and I don't recommend anything about gambling.

In fact, uncontrolled gamblers will face losses every time. Even after winning, they will take bigger risks (for more big wins). And when they lose, they will become restless to cover the losses, and quickly accumulate more money and continue to gamble more. And they will get the result "only more losses", so it is very important to gamble with the right mindset. Gamblers should limit their gambling very much, gamble a maximum of 3 days per week, not daily. And set a very limited budget for gambling, $3-$5, no more. And when this money is over, you must stop.

When people gamble for profitability, they tend to take gambling a lot more seriously than they’re meant to, just like when people often put more effort and seriousness in business or investments, just imagine investing in something that’s totally unpredictable, success depends on luck and something that doesn’t have a definite and effective strategy that can guarantee one’s success in that investment, what exactly would you expect if not potential losses? Some people would ask, (they always do) is trading not also unpredictable? Indeed it is, but it’s not mostly dependent on LUCK, but on Skills and experience and that’s the difference.

To be honest with you op, there are times when I gamble here in crypto gambling to forget about the stress I feel, even temporarily, because often when I gamble here, it gives me a good feeling because I enjoy gambling.

Meaning, gambling is a stress reliever for me, and the money I gamble here is limited, so I don't get stressed out because of gambling here in the casino,
unlike others who get stressed out because they lose a lot of money.

[Makus]

The best way to avoid being stressed in gambling is to take a break for as long as it takes, focus on work or other recreational activities during the interval. Gambling shouldn't be seen as something that you must do, if it's not your major source of income, which it shouldn't be, you can take break from it if you're not getting fulfilment. I don't think that it's advisable to be gambling constantly so that you'll not become addicted to it, it's better to gamble and take some break then come back fully energized for it. Peace of mind in gambling starts with using amount that you can afford to loose.

That's definitely the solution to stress while gambling.  Ones you start feeling stressed probably because the losing strike or start  having negative feeling to win at all cost it's  best to quit that gambling session and continue  after you must have cleared your mind. Because just as the op said if you pass through stress while gambling it could lead to addiction, though the word stress used doesn't explain fully what the op means but considering the context of his explanation. In essence, don't gamble when you are having  irresponsible gambling ideas flowing through your head, because that could lead to regret if you push through, especially when you intent was to gamble with a scheduled amount.
