how do you avoid being stress in gambling?

[Ziskinberg]

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?

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

I think this question is simple to be answered. The person is not gambling for fun is the reason. It is as simple as that. Especially when they are losing money, they will not be happy and also be stressed.

I have felt stressed while gambling before but when I understand what gambling is and I changed my mindset about gambling, I did not feel stressed anymore.

I guess they're addicts, hence they stress due to gambling. If they've cured from addiction and they no longer view gambling as a way to make money, they might not stress anymore. But, some people might still not happy which could leads stress while gambling, in this case, gambling isn't for them.

So, make sure you're a not an addict first. I don't see any point of gambling if you didn't enjoy it, you already lose your money and you also lose your happiness.

Just like every other things in life, there are times when you will get to your saturation point in gambling. Especially for people like us who do it for fun. Not every time you will derive joy from one source, you will get tired sometimes There are times when you won't find much fun in it, so at that time it's best to take a little break from it and go catch fun from other sources. This mostly happens when your favourite team is not performing very well they keep losing matches week in and weeks out. For people like me who mostly gamble on football matches, it's best to take a few weeks off and stay off gambling. When you are gambling and you ain't catching the fun, you are just wasting money. So it's best to stay off and save yourself the stress and the money.

So how about you? have you ever felt stressed because of gambling?

of course but i would not say so much that it has changed my life drastically

if yes, what did you do to overcome it?

i simply just took a step back and often times would play games without the intention of earning because i do believe that why we get stressed when we gamble is because there is the pressure of wanting to earn which we should forget about if we want to let go of said stress

The most important rule is to never bet more than you can afford to lose. That way, if you lose, you won’t get emotional because you can easily move on from it. Even before I got into gambling, I already knew this rule but experiencing it firsthand is different.

That’s why I’m speaking from experience. Just bet small, enjoy the game, and don’t stress over the outcome.

[stompix]

You obviously stop gambling?

I mean seriously, I you gamble for fun and all of it results in stress, why would you keep gambling in the first place?
This sounds like you keep eating food you don't like and which you know will make you throw up.

Simply, quit, take a break, and play again only when you're feeling like because you miss the feeling now because you have to.

I got more pissed for losing 10 $2 bets one after the other at Lingfield than losing $100 in a single one, so no, it's not just about money.

Gambling means casinos games and not football betting but probably the OP might be referring to both also. Is there fun in betting? I do not think there is fun in betting at all. The fun is in matches that are played and watch. It is fun to watch match for me but not fun to bet. I do not know about others. The fun I have is when I am playing casinos and not when I am betting on football matches.

[ChiBitCTy]

Google Brandi Love , hasn’t failed me in years. Then I dunno maybe not gamble because it’s not supposed to be stressful , it’s supposed to be fun. Also I would ask the mods how the handle the stress of having to read the same freaking topics over and over like you can’t find this topic on every page here in gambling. Oh and google Alex Coal, new fav. Def stress reliever.

[Accardo]

By maintaining a short gambling session a gambler wouldn't gas out lots of brain power while gambling. It's abnormal to remain in the game when tired, the gambler's decisions would carry no weight and losses will increase, as the player feels the need to replenish what has been lost.

Although, I feel this way atimes, and wager regardless of my weakness, but I've learnt that proceeding to spend more money and time only derails the fun, and places me on a losing streak, compared to when I'm energized. In a nutshell, a few moment in the game and a break works fine to stay mentally strong.

Everyone who starts gambling will have emotions. If you win, you feel joy; if not, then the feeling of dissatisfaction is present in one way or another in every player. The difference will be in how you treat gambling. If you play with your last money, hoping to win, stress is inevitable. Here, you don't need to pretend or rationalize that you understand gambling as entertainment. But when you spend money on games that aren't important, prepared men will calmly survive failure. It is important to understand that no one is always given to win. In this case, the stress will quickly pass, since in gambling everyone is equal.

If someone is stressed while gambling, I think the simple reason to adduce to that is that the person is losing in their gambling experience because you don't have a winning streak and complain of being stress since winning is about cash out. So it is plausible to say that the solution as usual for someone who is not making any win is to take a break from gambling, change your gambling strategy or change the type of game you are betting on. Gambling is about winning and losing but when your loses is too much then it can lead into stress from addiction.

[Natalim]

Not that I say it was stressful, but just a little bit. LOL

Well, that is true. It will be stressful if we always think about winning. It certainly puts pressure on our minds. So I think that the best thing to do to avoid this is to stop gambling completely. Even if we say that we only gamble the amount that we can afford to lose, the pressure is still there, and we can't easily get out of it. Unless we are not involved in gambling anymore.

[ryzaadit]

Limits your activity and stuff.

Perhaps, do something else. The problem of these, most the time while you have some free time and esepcially you're a gambler. I already try to limits mine, and not gambling for around 2-3 weeks right now.

Tried bro. It's worth ~XD

Of course it has happened, but I experienced it when chasing wager requirements to get a bonus during a Christmas promotion a few years ago, because the time to reach the wager requirement was almost up so it made me quite stressed and chose to increase the bet and was lucky to get a bigger win, so the stress was not because of losing but because I didn't want the bonus that was almost obtained to be lost because it didn't reach the set wager requirement.
I almost never get stressed because of losing but I'm often disturbed when betting on sports betting on multibet and lose just because of 1 match that doesn't match the prediction.
But if there are gamblers who are stressed, then that is normal in my opinion, the important thing is to be able to overcome the stress because if not, it can make them lose control. The way to realize this is by understanding that loss and profit are two things that can be obtained but are impossible to achieve at the same time.

You will feel stress only if you lose a significant amount of money for you, so you can avoid this if you only bet the amount that you do not mind losing. Perhaps there are such players that the very fact of losing is already capable of upsetting, but I think that there are few of them, and disappointment and stress will bring a very big loss. Therefore, it is in your power to prevent this and play only for the money that you are ready to lose and never exceed these values.

[danherbias07]

Yes, I did. This is why I stopped playing slots for 4 days now. I don't like the feeling of getting stressed and just thinking about getting my revenge and chasing my losses. It's not good for my health and I easily get mad too. When I stopped, I felt better and I don't think I will be back in playing slots or if I do, I will make sure that I will only spend the amount that I can and live with it if ever all of it is gone.
Avoiding it is difficult unless you will win in a streak. Now, if you are losing in a streak that's when frustration and stress come in and my only solution to it is to get away from gambling, especially the games that you have access to 24/7.

This is common things I usually done to avoid getting stress from gambling.

1. Depositing the amount I can afford to lose.
2. Sticking on my own plan and didn't try to exceed above what limit I set.
3. Didn't let my self to get hype on availing to much bonuses also avoid listening to hype created by streamers.

Although there are many things I've done to avoid bad situation to experience but will just list those common things which other people could provably relate. To many situation that can attract people to gamble so hopefully before going in they know the consequences of what will happen if they exceed on their limits and can able to go away and stop their selves to experience addiciton.

Of course, When always losing but still curious to play. Usually, the main thing I do when facing such a situation, is to stop for a moment and smoke a cigarette to calm my mind, when my mind is calm enough then decide to play again. Win or lose does not matter, the most important thing is that curiosity has disappeared.
