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

[iv4n]

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?

Well, I guess everyone has their own way to deal with stress & anger after losing in gambling. But after many years of playing, winning & losing, we kinda learn to handle it pretty easily... at least as long as we are gambling with money we can afford to lose. We learn how to accept any outcome... once the bet is placed, there's nothing more we can do.
But people who gamble with money they can't afford to lose are digging their hole. That alone is stressful, and when that money is gone, stress just multiplies.

I haven't really been angry after losing before even when I was still losing huge amounts, the feeling of emotions doesn't change what has already happened, if you are mature the least you can do is to accept your losses instead of getting angry. If you feel any sort of emotional discomfort after losing huge amounts of money in gambling all you can do is to take a break, this alone is enough to clear your mind

Losing at gambling is always associated with feelings of frustration and anger. These feelings arise when expectations do not match reality, resulting in disappointment. This happens because you are too focused on winning, in other words, your mindset is destroying your own feelings. I understand that disappointment is inevitable, but severe stress arises when you cannot accept defeat. One possible factor contributing to this is that the money you are using is money you are not prepared to lose.

Yes, everyone eventually has their own way of relieving stress and disappointment after a big loss in gambling. Maybe going to a bar, going to a comfortable and relaxing place, and so on. And I believe this is only temporary because if we continue to gamble, losses will inevitably occur, and it's impossible for you to do the same when you're stressed and disappointed after a big loss. So, over time, you'll become mature enough to accept defeat gracefully. And most importantly, as long as you gamble with money you can afford to lose, I don't think you'll feel stressed or disappointed. And this is also a lesson that should be applied consistently as long as you continue to enjoy gambling: always gamble with money you can afford to lose and also play consciously. Because when you play consciously, you won't be controlled by the game and you'll be in control of the game, so you can easily stop when you experience a few losses to prevent the losses from getting worse. And you can even easily stop when you win.

I have never been overwhelmingly angry due to my gambling activities that I would need an outlet, possibly because I never gambled with amounts that could disturb my mental state.

I personally prefer to keep myself busy with other things especially since I am not a drinker so what I do although maybe meeting up with some colleagues is always an option but I prefer to be in front of the computer or looking for things that can make me forget about gambling and losing.

Usually I'm more on the computer but with work or just playing games and watching without caring about gambling, this might look difficult for some people especially when there is internet on our gadgets or computers then surely our hands are always itching to reopen gambling sites but for me because maybe I'm too used to such activities, I can slowly forget about gambling and can even not play for some time ahead because I'm too focused on my computer.

No one likes losing, it comes with a feeling of anger and emotional instability a lot of times, the best way to deal with this is to move on from your losses, you can keep your mind occupied by doing other things m, recreational activities like weight lifting, running and other positive activities are a good way to relieve the stress you might be feeling. I don't recommend drinking or smoking they are can cause health issues

[Przemax]

For me only time heals of I lose big. I think its normal and healthy to have a little bit of grief.

Ofcourse spending time with my lovely wife is doing good for me, that no matter what I have her. But it is not in the initial phase of the „grief” because at first I prefer to be alone and numb myself in any way possible, mostly by PC games activities.

In the past, when this happened to me, what I did was play less. Take a break, and deliberately make the next sessions shorter. Besides, when you hit a losing streak and lose several sessions at the casino, it's not so much fun to play.

Nowadays, what I do is avoid putting myself in that position. I really only bet money that I don't mind losing at all.

Your point made me to remember one phrase about philosophy of life. You can change what has happened about life, it's either you sit and learn on your mistakes and try a way to work on them or you continue to drown on that mistakes. A lot of people are victim of this circumstances, when you encounter a problem in life, know that what has happened can't be change, thinking about it will only worsen your situation even more as it is going to be difficult to move on.

There is no reason to be angry about losing gambling game, if you do your gambling risk management and precaution, there is no any single reason to bet more than what you know that this money is all I got. This alone has save you from 80% of anything that comes later. If you win, you are going to be happy, if you lose you will learn from where the mistake comes and you are going to be able to adjust properly instead of been angry over what you cause in the first place.

If not greed, why will you gamble with an amount which will make you angry when you lose it? Are we not supposed to only be gambling with what we can afford to lose?

If I somehow lose all my balance before the blink of an eye and it does not last me as it's supposed to, the next thing I will think of is whatever is going to distract my mind from gambling, and my choice will be based on what I have available around, but clubbing is never going to be an option for me.

When you go clubbing after losing huge money in gambling you are still spending adding more loss to your previous lost. Been angry after losing big amount gambling can spoil things the more, we have always been warned to gamble responsibly and also gamble with funds we can let go if we didn't win to avoid getting angry and drinking to get drunk so you can forget your lost money at the moment and the pain will continue the next day, anything that doesn't guarantee winning shouldn't be done with what we can't afford to lose.

That's certainly true, but I've recently learned to control myself so as not to lose more than I'm allowed or have set limits for myself. In any case, I've learned one important thing from my past games, when I couldn't stop and kept playing, and then lost a lot. It's so important to stop exactly when we planned, and not when we promised ourselves that this bet would be our last. Because we can make such promises to ourselves constantly, but we keep betting until we lose everything. I'm sure many of you will be familiar with this situation. Overall, I'm pleased with myself for now, but I don't want to be overconfident, because I understand what the game can do to such players; everything must be approached with great caution.

Managing ones anger while gambling is very simple, and in a nutshell, that has to do with gambling only with an amount you are comfortably ready and willing to afford to lose that session while gambling. Because it is obvious you clearly stated you gambled with a "huge sum", of which that phrase alone tells us you weren't ready to lose that amount, but maybe you got carried away while you losing and just wanted to chase after loses, which ended badly making you lose the whole money you had in your casino account. And as such, here are 3 things to do to avoid getting angry while gambling;

1. Only deposit an amount you are willing and ready to lose at that moment. Because sometimes we get carried away, and if you deposit the entire money you budgeted to use for gambling that whole month once into your casino account, there is a high chance of you exhausting it all even before your second week.

2. Never chase loses while gambling, because that's actually the easiest way to running into bankruptcy with gambling.

3. Always have your principles while gambling, because that's what will guide your decision making when gambling, both positive and negative.

Gambling with what we can actually afford to lose can lead to frustration and depression. So the best way is to stick with an amount that we know that even if we lose it won't affect us. This will save us the stress of wanting to chase after loses. A good understanding of how gambling works can really help us to avoid this issue of being provoke and taking alcohol to overcome the pain and then pressure that comes with loses after gambling.

We have to learn the way we manage our anger whenever we lose from gambling because sometimes many of us get upset whenever we lose in the gambling, when will pick offense is because we don't know how to control our emotions and we don't really know that gambling is a kind of a risk that might cost us to lose something we have gathered from 6 months time, and we lose it only in a day, so that is the reason why most of us who create a thread that emphasize that we should do gamble with what we can afford to control or what we can afford to lose so that at the end we will not be disturbed or be traumatized because of what we have lost in the gambling, whenever I lose in gambling I prefer going to sleep to rest for 5 hours and I will forget everything that I've I lose for that moment in gambling

Exactly what I was also saying, but how someone, of all the options in front of them, chooses clubbing after losing in gambling is another big mistake. Imagine the consumption of alcohol by someone who is already mad for losing; that substance will get to him easier than he will ever imagine, and he could lose even more control and spend more, and if they are not with someone to put them in order, disgrace will be the next thing the person does to himself.

I completely agree with what you said. I personally experienced a major loss that filled me with rage & anger. Instead of taking a break, I retaliated by continuing to gamble, hoping to recoup my losses, which ultimately led to even greater destruction. It's wise to take a break & calm down when losses trigger anger & rage. If our minds can't think rationally, we won't reap profits, but instead will suffer losses.

This is something I think most gamblers have experienced, as I myself have experienced it quite often when I was still gambling enthusiastically, not when I was in the midst of a gambling addiction. So what do you do when you forget your gambling limits?

Everyone certainly has their own way of calming down when gambling, but one thing is for sure: taking a break by stopping and not continuing is a surefire way to do it. For me, a little exercise is my go-to option. What about you?

In as much as drinking is to make you forget is not bad it also has its side effects you know. You can be drinking and the pain of the loss keeps coming over and again on your head and you just continue drinking and drinking on  so you won't feel the pain again and just before tou know it you have drank to stuppor. You start misbehaving due to intoxication from the alcohol.  If you want to drink due to pain you need to put yourself in check so that you donot do it excessively to the point of loosing control of what you do and in the process you loss self respect as well. So aside drinking to forget the pains of the losses you can try engaging your mind to other activities that would keep your mind busy and take far off your pains.

I have never been overwhelmingly angry due to my gambling activities that I would need an outlet, possibly because I never gambled with amounts that could disturb my mental state.

Aside from not gambling with amount that could cause you headaches you are also not the type who put so much hope on potential winning, as some people even get affected by the money they where hoping to win that their initial staked amount in a game, like they could use an amount they could afford but due to potential winning amount they are so much confident it will click, not going that way could lead them into a disturbing state.

[Dunamisx]

We should the habit of let go of the past and embrace the beauty of what the future promises to offer, we can't manage to keep on doing same thing repeatedly over time and expect that things are going to change for us, once a bet is turned a loss already, we should let go and move on with life.

It's not an avenue to keep reminding ourselves of it and the way we missed the chance and opportunity of winning it, all these are going to weigh us down to discouragement, but once the worst happened, we should take heart to move on with other activities for the day and possibly gamble some other times.
