how do you avoid being stress in gambling?

[Jostern]

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?

People that are addicted to gambling doesn’t feel any stress, When someone gambles and gambles and finds out that he is not winning or he is loosing a lot of money. This are the people who feels they are being stressed, but as a gambler I will advice that if you feel this stress when playing poker games or casino or whatever ways you gamble it. You need to step back and reflect on yourself to ascertain how this things works. And try to device other means of winning a poker game

But most gamblers don’t feel the stress in gambling because they want to win money.

Else, you need to suffer and you need to overcome stress each time you place your bet and lose your money..

I agree with you. Some people think that they will win the bet and luck will be in their favor but they are disappointed and lose the bet immediately. Due to their weak financial capacity they are unable to carry out their activities and despite having the desire they cannot participate in the bet. The mentality of earning through gambling should be abandoned initially. New gamblers bet to test their luck and the number of lucky people among them is very limited.

If they cannot afford to allocate money for gambling, it is right for them to stay away from gambling but they should gamble even in a limited scope for their entertainment. Gambling for financial improvement and entertainment through alternative income and sometimes winning in it is a great feeling.

Ultimately feeling stressed after losing in gambling is something that every gambler feels. Ready or not this situation is a natural condition every time you lose a bet. We as gamblers cannot force luck to come, therefore gambling is a matter of responsibility. Many people who used to be aggressive gamblers but over time they learned to control themselves and eventually became fine.

I would disagree with that statement. Most gamblers are just as stressed. This is what we have been talking about in this thread for many pages. You say that they want to win money, so they do not experience stress, but while they play, chasing money, they often lose, and any loss for most people is already stressful, just for some people this stress is less, for others more. There are people for whom losing some important money for their life is experienced as a catastrophe.

If we talk specifically about the game of poker, in order to win regularly, it is definitely necessary to learn and practice to become better than most players like you, who came to win money in poker. When some level of conscious and rational play is achieved, then you can make money from it and reduce the stress of playing poker significantly.

I absolutely disagree with you and want to say that you can find few people who are as stressed as gamblers and betting enthusiasts.
It's just that in human thinking, everyone very quickly mentally fits new extra money, which they receive, for example, from a casino, into their usual needs. And when suddenly this cash flow stops, and it will stop all casino money is unstable, then such a person will immediately fall into stress and will be forced to return to the reduced consumption that they had before the extra income from the casino.

No matter how much a gambler says that he gambles only for entertainment, in reality he always has the thought of winning in his mind, most gamblers see gambling as a means of making money, very few gamblers are those who gamble for real entertainment, and only they can adhere to certain limits well. The main thing is to use an amount of money that will not be a problem if you lose. When a gambler can truly accept gambling as mere entertainment, then he will not have any risk in gambling, otherwise if you gamble with the mindset of making money, it is likely to be much more dangerous.

Yes Indeed, only few have that kind of desire most of the gamblers are aiming to win easy money, they are thinking that with luck behind they can multiply thier initial deposit from the desire amount that they've wanted to win, but along the way, if you are not open or you can't afford to lose your money, it's much better not to play and stay away from gambling.

Else, you need to suffer and you need to overcome stress each time you place your bet and lose your money..

You know dude, many of our fellow forum members have given a reminder like the one you mentioned today, which also never tires of reminding our fellow gamblers
that some people are also stubborn or that's the truth.

While I was reading what you mentioned, I just thought that if other gamblers really don't want to experience the stress of gambling, the only thing they should do is stop gambling
because it's really stressful if they're not ready to lose in the first place.

There is such a thing as variance in poker, i.e. a player can play a perfect hand or tournament and still lose due to random chance. Sometimes variance can last for a short period, and sometimes it can last for months. At such times, it isn't the skills of the game that are important, but the psychological resilience. Many people usually can not cope with prolonged variance and begin to tilt because of this.

The thing is, people should learn to gamble for the right reasons, this is all that I see here, if people will learn to gamble for the right reasons, they also will know the risk involved with gambling from the very onset and don't get too hopeful or dependent or expectant with the betting tickets or games they play..

It is already a known fact that in gambling, it's normal to lose money, this is why wins are celebrated in the first place, because gamblers understand winning is not easy.

Lets assume winning was easy, like winning was the normal thing in gambling and losing was rare same way winning is now, gamblers will celebrate losing much more than they celebrate winning, like; losing money would have been something gamblers actually are happy for 😁😁, because humans only celebrate what they find hard or rare to achieve.

When you're already financially stress, you don't add another stress on top of that.

I would say that being in a state of financial stress not only adds an extra layer of pressure when it comes to gambling, but also leads to false hopes and unrealistic expectations. In this way, a person tries to compensate for failures in other areas of life. It’s a poor strategy, as it blurs the line of knowing when it’s time to stop. Even when someone does win, they often don’t cash out, because they’re fixated on a goal that is nearly impossible to achieve.

But not always thing goes bad, sometimes gambling have a happy en end, i mean, the scenarios where this happens are just a few, but personally,y in the past gambling has helped me when i was with a low capital, a big win when you need it can help a lot.

But again, is weird to see this happening, normally we only see our balance gone, and feels bad when this happens.

It sounds almost like a miracle, because even though big wins do happen (we hear about them from those who gamble, and most of us have at least once experienced what we consider a big win), for them to happen exactly when you need money and have no other way out – that’s extremely rare. For example, I’ve never managed to win like that at the exact moment when I urgently needed money.

If you experienced that way then it's a better way to end up your session as you there's always a good and bad result and it's just the gambler itself you needs to appreciate if they experienced the win, it lessen the stress if you know of to appreciate and also if you know how divert your attention if you lose your pick.

It's more on taking the responsibility and not to dwell to any regret if your failed to select the correct pick to win your bet.

I just think that any loss in gambling is tied to stress, no matter how skillfully you manage it. I’m not talking about small losses that happen all the time, but rather a systematic streak of failures, when bet after bet is lost and there seems to be no end to it. In such a situation, even if you don’t particularly care about the money, you’ll still feel nervous — because no one likes to lose, and it always brings stress and frustration.

[Hispo]

I was talking the other day with a friend who happens to bet on sports so now and then and he mentioned to me that one of the best ways he has managed to find to get stress down is smoking, and when he bets, he smokes like a chimney...
That makes me wonder, to what extent are people willing use substances and drugs to keep themselves calm when they are gambling or betting?

It is a fact there are many gamblers (an important percentage) who happen to be smokers as well, perhaps for the sake of keeping their mind together with nicotine, but one thing is nicotine and a completely different one is to consume cocaine or morphine to keep themselves calm.

What do you think? have you ever heard or seen someone going beyond legal drugs to keep the stress out while gambling?

[Awaklara]

What do you think? have you ever heard or seen someone going beyond legal drugs to keep the stress out while gambling?

The most common thing I find in gamblers who are also my friends is smoking and drinking, even that can be done when gambling, not only because of stress when their gambling loses and puts pressure on them.
To consume illegal drugs I never. Maybe there is, but I don't know about it. Because after all using illegal drugs will of course be personal consumption that will not be shared with others.

every gambler has a different level of stress and also a different way to reduce the stress they experience. some people just sleep, but some others need help to reduce the stress they experience.

Yes, it seems that we as humans cannot lie in this matter that we all never like losing money, I also believe that disappointment will always be there no matter how small even though our main goal in gambling is not winning.
But there are different levels of disappointment in my opinion, some feel disappointed but are still fine and some are disappointed which disappointment affects their mental and psychological, they are usually irresponsible gamblers or losers who come just to win but are never ready to accept the risk of losing.
The point is feeling disappointed is something natural but don't let it affect or trigger various actions and decisions beyond control.

No, I have not heard anything about the use of illegal drugs by gamblers, unless they use them somehow secretly and it hardly depends on their process of playing online casinos. But as for smokers or drinkers of alcoholic beverages, it is a lot. Some casinos themselves create a certain image of a casino visitor who holds a cigar in his hand, and next to him is a glass of whiskey or some other alcoholic beverage. This can even be said a classic, these images of gamblers often and in literature described. Perhaps some gamblers somehow subconsciously try on themselves these images, as a result, they can for their game and smoke and drink. But here is the truth drinking can already negatively affect the quality of the game, so it should not be forgotten.

Very rare to see that happen.
When we're in need and then instead of getting that money when we gamble, we get more losses.
That is why when I am in that situation, I don't think that gambling is the best option for me. I'd just ask someone to lend me money than to gamble and try my luck.

[LUCKMCFLY]

For myself, I realized that playing sports also helps very well to switch off and get rid of stress.

I completely agree with you, prolonged rest not only keeps you away from many bad situations that arise in a casino when there are many losses, sport is undoubtedly the best thing you can do, not only to stay away from possible things or problems in the casino, but also for your health Now more than ever, people should take a little more care to exercise for their health.

We are just humans and we are emotional beings on which at the time that we do lose money then its normal that we do get impulsive and on the moment it do happens then our mind is thinking up on ways or methods on how you do able to make out such actions on which it will pertain on having that more time to play and finding up some funds on which you can be able to make yourself that play even more. When you are in loses then you do think up on how you do able to recover up these things accordingly on which at the moment that your loses keeps piling up, then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how you do make out such recovery. You wont be caring about if you do lose up even more as long you do able to hit up that win and hoping that it could made out such break even or even profiting. Avoiding stress is something that do talks about acceptance on which on the moment that you do have those loses along the way. If you've been that too positive about making money the its no surprise on what you do end up on this way.

[Shinpako09]

For me, stress is unavoidable if you are doing gambling, especially on a red streak. What I'm doing is cutting my session and taking a break for maybe an hour or more, or coming back the next day. One should do it to prevent the situation from becoming even worse. I'm not saying things will go the other way after taking a break, but at least you can calm or cool down your mind. 'Coz based on my exp, if I didn't do it, I would just bet continuously and mindlessly, like wild betting, not stopping until I got at least 1-3 green in a row or a green streak before trying to cool down.

The important thing is we can distract our minds that telling us to come back to casino. We can enjoy our free time doing many activities which give us entertainment and have fun. We want to have fun but not just from gambling so we must understand that doing other activities will be necessary to balance our life. That will make us stay away from stress in gambling so when we come back to casino, we will not think much about gambling because we know that gambling is just the other activities that we can do. We will take care ourselves when gambling and will not trying to waste our money by chasing the win.

I was constantly stressed when I lost a significant amount of money. I fell into some kind of indifference to everything that surrounded me. There was no spark of joy in my eyes. Thoughts were about how to find money again and go and try to win it back. Well, that's not much fun, to be honest. It's a bit like masochism.

How many times have I told myself in my thoughts that I should stop and reconsider my approach to the process. But no... I didn't want to do it, because my inner voice was talking about the futility of this activity.
