What do you do to relieve your anger when you lose at gambling?

[icebar]

One thing you should know Is that emotions play a very vital role when it comes to gambling. As long as I risk what I know I can afford to lose , I basically don get angry. Yes I do fell some kind of emotion and I really don't know how to classify it but I wouldn't say angry .. when you are angry, you tend to risk more in order to get back what have been list and then you end up losing way more than you bargained for. It makes you want to revenge-gamble...if there is any word like that .. so anger is out of it for me

In the past, whenever I have become angry while gambling, I have had to face a big loss, which is why now I try to remain calm at that time instead of getting angry when I lose. Sometimes I visit my relatives to change my mental state. I try to control myself. I know that I cannot guarantee victory in gambling, but if I keep gambling again and again despite losing, then I will lose my entire bankroll, so I try to stop my bets in advance and try to change my mental state in any way.

I think almost every gambler has experienced something similar to what you're feeling. If I look at it, it seems that you have exceeded the budget that was set at the beginning of your gambling and this is why disappointment appears along with the events you do in gambling. I think only you can control it all. And it's natural that when we gamble, we should never exceed our predetermined budget. If they implement it correctly, they'll likely accept their losses more than the regrets they experience from their gambling.

But usually what happens in gambling is we override our budget and keep gambling thinking we can make profits. Most of the times, we also continue gambling because we look at it as an entertainment source and placing bets makes us happy and mentally satisfied. We do not really think of loss in these situations and that is what makes our decision take a bad direction. We should always be focused when it comes to budgeting.

Over-gambling has never benefited anyone but it just has vanished major accounts.

Losing a bet is natural but placing a larger bet is our mistake or sometimes might be called foolishness. We have to train our mind not to make this mistake again.

Yesterday I just lost several hundred dollars in one of the slot games: Mahjong Ways. I was stressed, I immediately went to the club to meet my friend for a drink and relieve stress there, I'm curious how you manage your anger when you lose gambling? does anyone do like me?

First, I want to commend you for being able to take a walk after you have lost that much because maybe if you stayed to continue playing, you might lose more than you have lost. Many gamblers are not able to take decision to avoid chasing what they have lost. However, you don't need too much risk that you can't just forget about when you lose.

But when you lose it is better to get yourself something that can make you relax or sleep and if drinking helps you achieve that to forget the bad day, you should do that. Some people go clubbing too for that to bring joy into their heart.

You gamble, lose, get stressed, and drink to have some relief… uhm… that’s exactly how you ruin your physical health. At least you are not smoking too. Many people I know do both and some more if you know what i mean.

I don’t drink or smoke to get relief, I do those occasionally without losing control when I am happy.

Now I noticed, I don’t even remember when was the last time I got stressed over a lost bet and since I don’t get stressed when I lose, that means I don’t feel the need to do more bad habits get relief.

Prevention beats Treatment. Every single time.

If you are getting stressed while gambling then you are risking too much my friend.  Gambling is entertainment and it is meant for you to pay to have a good time.  Paying to have a bad time seems like a very foolish thing to do.  I would suggest that you are risking too much money and focusing too much on the destination instead of the journey.  Even if you do end up making money, if you stressed yourself out the entire time, was it really even worth it?  Don't forget why casinos exist.  They aren't employers for their customers.

One hard lesson that I have learned from gambling is never drink or do substances as a way to escape from the overthinking of that loss. This way may take you to do further harm, maybe drinking more than you should and ask for loans… etc
Ive found a better way to manage that bad feeling after a loss, which is a fun meeting with friends and discussion about the loss to make it less serious and that everyone else had that experience, it is a way for me to remember that nothing serious when you lose an amount of money that shouldn’t affect me financially or emotionally.

Trust me, if you start managing your gambling budget, instead of gambling everything at once or a larger amount, try to split it, take the other half for a fun activity or shopping. Now, even if you lose that money on gambling, you will still enjoy the second half.

The last time it happened to me, I tried everything possible, but I was stressed more than a week. I even found it hard to sleep. Still I later received some advice from my friends, and I was taken out to have some fun, like playing snooker and other things like that though it wasn’t actually a club but just a fun place before I started to feel some relief.It is not really easy for someone to lose a certain amount of money that they can’t afford to lose. Even if someone is having fun around, it will hardly go out of their mind, and the amount will keep coming back to their head, making them continue regretting it.

The reason why it took me more than a week before I was able to feel less stressed about the amount I lost in gambling was because I finished all the money I had with me on the gamble. I had nowhere to get money to do certain things that were important to me during that period, so I kept regretting why I didn’t use the money for those important things I needed to do at that time.

‎You see the one of the reasons they always say you shouldn't gamble more than what you can afford to loss. Not matter how good you are in gambling, there's no need of learning how to relieve pressure or anger if you gamble responsibly. Greed sometimes make gamblers stake amount they will regret later, trying so hard to win a bankroll you can't make a day in just one kobo, don't let yourself fall for this. You can't keep on with having a drink each time you loss, if you do, you get addicted to drink as you are to gambling too.

For quite a long time now I have not felt this mind blowing over my lost bets because I have experienced a lot that almost caused damage to my life, so I worked on myself and built a responsive decisions that guides me through to take control of myself nomatter what that happens.

If you understand that your profits made today in gambling will be returned back to the house other times, you will not let excitement take you away when you wins so as when you lost and can not take control over your emotions today, bear it in mind that you will still lost more.

So the question is ... How long will you keep up giving yourself up to be ruined over gambling?
If you understand my point of direction then you will not even feel troubled at any given bet outcome.

To help yourself just bet what you can afford to loose.

So you think that going to the club to have a drink will ease the anger from your losses right? that means you will have to be going to the club each time you are angry about a lost bet. Anger can be avoided if you play within your discretionary income and not having any expectation of winning from your bet. Expectation from gambling can throw you into depression because of the pain that comes along when your bet fails so it will be better you do yourself the good of not being so committed to a bet, just play as though you are having fun and play with an amount you can bear in case it lost. It is understandable to feel bad over a lost bet sometimes but allowing ourselves to feel some kind of pain that can lead to more complex situation is what we ought to avoid.

I haven’t gambled to an amount that will make me want to drink alcohol to forget about it. The best I have done is just curse at the casino or the team (if it’s sportbetting) and then look for a discussion channel online and then vent the little anger that had built up in the group directed towards everyone who contributed to the lost of my bet or to the team losing their match.

I control the amount I use for each bet so it’s usually not too high an amount that would make me panic or feel anxious when I lose it. This could be an advice for you, don’t go past what you can actually afford to lose, stick without your capacity and gamble for fun don’t gamble to the extent that you’ll be needing to solve a new problem after you’re done mourning your losses.

Warding off your mind out of the loss is the best thing you could do which you did, making sure you remove your thought out of the loss is what everyone will ever do, some will probably get drunk, some people will go get sex, and some other sort of activities just to ward off the anger out of their mind.

There is nothing wrong with what you did, and I hope you felt better after drinking with your friends?

Everyone has a different coping mechanism, for me getting drunk at the club won’t change anything or make you forget about your pains or losses , I have experience a lot of losses that I don’t get move again and secondly I make sure I gamble with what I can afford to lose in other not get a mental breakdown I know how hard I fought to build the kind of mind and strength I have now , don’t form the habit of drinking whenever you lost a bet if not you may not like the outcome one day , it can ruined you.

If you have lost money gambling, you must be mentally strong, especially since it is never acceptable to try to temporarily distract your brain from the feeling of loss by drinking. Since you have lost money by participating in gambling, it will be easier for you to talk openly with your family members. Or you can try to forget about it by hanging out with your favorite friends. You can take a long drive and travel somewhere with your wife/ girlfriend.
In this case, it is not wise to jeopardize your health by smoking or drinking alcohol. And always remember that gambling is an uncertain opportunity for profit and loss, where you can profit or lose if you participate.

I am very seldom angry when I lose, but whenever I do, I take a long walk, go for a stroll in a park, or just sleep it over. I never drink when angry. It's ok to be angry, but make sure that you can easily shrug it off if it's about losing in gambling, because losing in gambling is expected; you have to realize that.
I always avoid becoming disappointed in something I have no control over. Gambling should be fun, not a cause of stress or anger.

What I do often whenever am losing or want to pass my risk limit while gambling is stepping away from it and stay calm so that I can think properly. It is really to consume intoxicating drink just relieve the pain of losing or another thing is chasing loss. This is why it is good to use money you can afford to lose because it reduces the damage to mental health, and your balance.

Gambling should not be a reason to get angry by losing, I think that it is not a big deal whether you win or lose while gambling, the main purpose should be to enjoy entertainment or relax. Gambling is mainly for entertainment, it cannot be an easy way to earn money or get rich quickly, and gambling cannot be a part of our life. It is very important to keep a cool head while gambling, no matter what the result is, we can enjoy real fun or entertainment by keeping a cool head and following the right rules for entertainment purposes.

bro! i understand how losses can get frustrating like cr*zy especially with slot games like Mahjong Ways but getting angry over gambling usually means we are taking it more seriously than we should in the first place because personally i feel gambling is meant to be some form of entertainment not a guaranteed way to make money and if you start seeing wins and losses as part of the game then it becomes easier to stay calm!! like try to keep a cool head can just help you enjoy it more and prevents you from chasing losses

I rarely feel anger when I lose; I get frustrated, even upset (not extremely), but anger is too intense a feeling to have when you lose, knowing that what you're doing, in this case, gambling, is where there's the highest probability of it happening.

Anyway, I stop for a while, I go out to clear my mind, watch a movie or series that I really like, try to distract myself and avoid thinking about the loss.

[Mindyspace]

You should have only bet what you could afford to lose. Getting angry about your own choices is pointless and won't help you maintain a healthy financial life. When I bet on slots, I only wager what I can truly afford to lose, and that prevents me from experiencing the same frustration you're going through. What you can start doing is managing your balance better to avoid this type of situation in the future.

I don’t really get angry whenever I gamble and I lose, nobody forced me to gamble, I made the decision myself so even if I lose, I have nothing to be angry about. You gamble and you lost so much amount of money, you going to club to take a drink is just going to cost you more money, and that’s not going to bring back the amount which you have lost. You should learn to control your emotions when gambling, either you win or lose, you should learn to control yourself. I don’t know why you decide to gamble with the amount which will make you get so angry after losing, gambling is suppose to be done with little amount you can afford to lose.
