Do People Around You Feel If You Lose Or If You Win?

[Shinpako09]

No matter how frustrated I am when I lose, or how happy I am when I win, I don’t show any emotions about the results of my gambling once I leave my room, and I don’t tell anyone about it either. So, no one knows if I win or lose, they don’t even know I’m gambling. I’m not saying I’m great at hiding my emotions; it’s just that, for me, it’s a separate thing. I shouldn’t let it affect me outside, or the people around me. Gambling is gambling. Personal life is personal life.

[AVE5]

It's really an amateur act for a gambler to transfer aggressions of his lost bet over others and still senseless to keep others informed by your expressions that you just gambledem it doesn't matter if you win or lost.
On a regular, I don't think such gamblers who showcases their winnings to others also do let the people know when they looses because they want to be celebrity gamblers and make others feel like gambling is really resourceful of giving profits.

And some gamblers cannot hide their frustration and depression after they lose. You cannot talk to them; they become hard-headed and even resort to drinking.

This is exactly the same as someone I know, he vents his frustration on electronic items when he loses and when something like that happens if I witness it I will avoid it then after it subsides I will explain what gambling really is even though in his mind he agrees but he keeps repeating the behavior maybe it is his nature and until now I stay away from him.

In my case, I make it hard for people to guess if I lose or win. I don't want to bother them if I lose, and I don't want people asking for a share if I win. It's hard to do this, but practice makes perfect.

How about you what's your position?

Your case is quite similar to mine, I will not show my losses or wins but there is a slight difference when I win I can share it with the people closest to me without having to mention that it is from gambling.

How about you what's your position?

My friend at the hangout who usually reprimands me when I look unenthusiastic there. He must ask, how much have I lost today?
Not all friends realize that, but only one of my friends always pays attention and gives me a reprimand. He also gambles and shares his losses or wins with silly stories.
I don't tell him about my gambling situation, my friends just guess it from my behavior. But one of my friends came angrily and cursed gambling because he lost. But we know he will gamble again the next day.

The hardest thing for a gambler is their appearance and their mood after they log off or step out of the gambling platform they've played on.

I have seen gambling, jumping for joy, and bragging about the amount they won, even posting their winnings on their social media account.

In my case, if you are around me and I win, you'll know not because I will be all over the place but because you will see the visible happiness in my expression. If I lose, same thing but I don't go about transferring anger because I don't do that. And it doesn't change my response if someone who knows I won ask me for some money. My reply would be No. I owe you no money at all. And I'll even leave the person with a stern warning never to ask me for money again. They'll know not to do it.

Or we can just let our emotions burst? I think we can feel much better this way and the people around us is not our problem anymore if how will they react on it. If they feel sorry if we lose, then that's great.

It only shows that they care and some can even lend us some money to start again or feel a little better. It does not mean though that they are seeking for a return especially once we win. While for those who beg, we still can choose to ignore them and they can't do anything about it. Hiding an emotion in regards to gambling still occurs commonly in games like poker because it is beneficial, and maybe if gambling is somewhat illegal in our jurisdiction.

When I was younger I couldn't handle frustration, I let off steam with my motorbike on the beach.
With time, age, family and everything else I learned to handle emotions, especially the instinctive ones that are the most dangerous.
Starting from the fact that my losses when I make them are just a few cents, but it's the feeling of loss that is frustrating.
As I said in some posts, now when I lose a bet, I go play with friends in an online game,
we play bandits and kill whatever comes along, between one laugh and another that sense of frustration also passes.
I can confirm that online games (not all of them) are a way to relieve stress

Gamblers who find it difficult to hide their frustration and depression after losing have either lost a lot of money, an amount they are new to losing, or an amount they should never have used in gambling in the first place.

How about you what's your position?

Maturity should put you in a position to handle your losses yourself and be discreet about wins.

What is the point in showing your emotions publically to people you might be playing poker against in the next minute?

Of course I try not to let it show if I lose because I do not want to "lose face" but the same goes for winning. Acting out is for children, so as an adult it can lead to embarressing and off-putting moments for yourself and others around you.

Although if others cheers, I tend to cheer with them. Or if they show disappointment, then it is only in human nature to join in with the group.

But this only goes for real life. Bragging/griefing online is not the same thing.

[junder]

Gambling that has occurred in my environment so that it has become a common thing to do so it is difficult to hide when we win, whether it is with me or with my other friends who like to gamble. I myself actually want to hide the victory that I get but it is quite difficult to do this, when I win then what I do is treat my friends and they immediately know that I have just won, and vice versa. It's just that not everyone knows about this, only a few friends who really like to gamble.

If you are at the peak of your emotions, you cannot control yourself, and one of the keys to at least settling it down is to make a cooldown for yourself before making decisions to avoid making unnecessary mistakes. If you saw someone like that better to stay away for a while try to make an observation if they are into good now to talk with or not. And if that happen to yourself and you know what your actions will be taken, personally I'm not fan of sharing my profit to others unless it came from me to offer but someone seeking for a share I guess its not into an etiquette its their wins not yours if you didn't play with them so whats the purpose of seeking a share. Its normal to show an emotion but again nothing care at all with the people emotion if you are into gambling casino because they are seeking for fun and not to comfort other people I guess its reasonable.

Yes that is actually a good move and it does make sense. However some gamblers are unable to manage their emotions they win or lose. That's the reason you see some overspending when they hit a jackpot. Basically people tend to have a calmer expression for those that are not loud when they lose.
In all it's important as a gambler to be able to keep a calm expression at all times I can still vividly remember a post made by a member on this board where a gambler got over excited from wins and went back to a losing streak.

[pawanjain]

I guess gamblers from bitcointalk are really good at hiding their emotions and I don't doubt that.
Holding bitcoin itself makes us well trained to hide our emotions in a way, since we won't want anyone to know about our holdings.
When it comes to gambling, I prefer to stay neutral when I lose or win. Having a clear head and staying calm helps me control my emotions.

[DiMarxist]

Like they say, what ever you do , your actions and inactions affect the people around you. This statement is very true for gamblers especially the ones that have not really been able to control their emotions and feelings. Because, some gamblers are very emotional and as they become moody because of a loss or become very happy because of a win, the people around them can literally see it from their actions. Some even go to the extreme of crying as a result of a loss, some put their feeding money to the bet and when they have lost, everybody will know. while some give excess money to people as a result of a win. So in gambling most times the people around you are also key beneficiary of you bet, either a win or a loss.

[Doan9269]

Some at the course of gambling lose, they will shout to the peak of their voice that everyone's attention is drawn on them, which I think is not good enough, we should not be too emotional with gambling regardless of the results seen.

If we also win a bet, it makes no perfection in us to be louder about it, because in doing so, we don't know who might be happy about it and who might not, we need to be diplomatic in the way we gamble, so that we don't distract others from enjoying gambling because of our own experience in it, each incidence comes with its own challenge and benefits.

For me, small wins and small lose don't show any difference in my face or behavior. But I love sharing about my big wins. I don't share my prize money but I do share my success story. Many do give a good response but for most of them, it doesn't matter at all. They just smile for me as the happiness is reflected in my face all day.
As for large loss, I try to hide it from everyone but it does show in my face. People close to me would realize something is wrong with me even if I don't tell them anything. If it weren't for these people comforting me in my bad time, I would have been in a darker place.

[Dunamisx]

It's not everything that is happening to us should be known by other gamblers or people around us, we can try as much as possible to maintain our privacy in gambling, so that people don't have a clue of what is always happening around us each time we gamble, we should not be moved by our emotions as we gamble, because such could also come with its own effects, not everything should be made opened to other people about us as we are gambling.

If one allow his emotions to show out on the outward, it's a sign of immaturity because, nothing surposed to be more than you composure all the time and one should not take risks that will be more than your bearable level of risks.


Those that they gambling results affects their emotions are the one that have taken gambling more than what it should be, such as those that gamble way more than they can afford to gamble.

It's easy to control your emotions as a gamble, but that will affect your overalls gambling decisions. Just like the example you gave those who tend to feel really depressed after losing is because they gambled with more than they can afford to loose, if you decide  to gamble  with very little  amount  such that the amount is insignificant  when removed from your back or wallet, after losing it you'll observe that you didn't feel much like a looser after all, it only takes greed for someone  to go back and make extra withdrawal to gamble again after losing some money before. As gamblers  we should learn how to control the amount of money we gamble with so we don't keep ourselves in a handicapped situation of chasing after losses.

[Slow death]

How about you what's your position?

When I lose, I control my feelings, because even before the game starts I put it in my head that the chances of me losing are greater than winning, so even if I lose I won't get angry, I'll be acting normally. My face will be normal as it was before I bet, and if I win I'll act the same way, this is to prevent me from putting emotions into gambling because that's not good. I've seen cases of people here in my country who lost and started insulting and causing commotion during the gambling section.
