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?

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.

Mahjong Ways is also one of my favorite slot games from PGsoft. It's the game that fills most of my gambling activities, and yes, you're not alone. I often lose big on it, but the amounts don't seem to reach hundreds of dollars, usually only $30 at most.

When I experience a big loss, one of the things I usually do is distract myself to calm my emotions. For example, I invite a friend or my partner to go out for a walk or a vacation, like going to the movies. Essentially, any activity that takes my mind off gambling is important, and I usually return to gambling after a few weeks.

Don't lose the amount of money that can trigger your emotions, it's the best choice for you right now, it's safe to say that hundreds of dollars you can't lose, and you know getting drunk is a momentary stress reliever, in the morning you will remember it again and still feel upset.

Put a limit on the amount of money you can gamble with, so you don't get emotional if you lose it.

It use to surprise me when people do mention that they take some beer to easy aware the anger and anxiety in them over any unwanted situations, because this will wipe off after some few hours of taking alcohol and we get back to the root of it again after being tipsy, growing drunk does not solve the problem created, it can even worsen it when we do nothing about it, of I were you, all I could do is to quickly source for an alternative means of getting recovered by doing extra jobs to source for money.

After a big loss like yours, I will go and hang out with my friends to share my loss with tem and we talk over it while having fun. Sometimes, if there's no one to chill with, I go to the cinema.

OP, you should have a gambling budget whenever, you want to gamble and stop the game when you have exhausted your budget instead, of gambling till you empty your bankroll.

[CryptoBuds]

I do not know if you are a new gambler. If you are a regular gambler then you  definitely need to maintain some rules. You do not have a fixed budget to spend on  gambling. And you have lost a few hundred dollars. This is a very big amount for you. And that is why you are  angry. You need to make a budget,  based on your income. If you only lost on a 20 dollar in the  slot machine , you probably wouldn't be so angry and wouldn't go drinking. That is why if  you are a regular gambler you should never take the risk of a very big amount. And finally I would say that drinking is not a good way to deal with  anger. You could spend time with friends or family to reduce anger.

At first were you not aware of the implications and the consequences  involved in excessive gambling?  And I also believe you might have approach it with so much aggression in the aim of getting back all your lost games. However what you are going through now is what you get for chasing lost in gambling and until you do away from such mindset you will keep having the same experience.

Therefore, what I have to tell you now is to let go of your lost and move on because you definitely cannot kill your self, don't let it deranged or set you unbalanced, that's why it's important you always stake what you can afford to lose so that if something like this happens it wouldn't get you scartered.

Man I feel you on that Mahjong Ways can be a real beast Ive dumped a decent chunk into slots before and walked away fuming like what was I thinking chasing that big win anyway

But heres the thing if youre getting that pissed off over a few hundred bucks maybe its time to rethink your limits like everyone here is saying only gamble what you can straight up afford to burn without it ruining your day otherwise youre just setting yourself up for more stress and bad decisions

For me when I lose I step away completely no clubs or drinks cause that just numbs it for a bit then it hits harder later instead I hit the gym or go for a run gets the endorphins going and clears my head way better or Ill binge some dumb comedy show to laugh it off



Seriously though set a strict budget next time and treat losses as the cost of entertainment not something to rage over youll enjoy it more that way

Giving you answer wouldn't even solve any problem because you'll definitely get drunk next time after losing a huge amount. First of all you need to reduce the amount you Gamble with, learn self control and don't allow greed to take a greater part of you. If you practice this things and follow it accordingly, you might not need to drink next time in the bar to chill off your stress. I don't even drink alcohol, and I don't bet what I can't afford to lose. In this case there wouldn't be a need to drink to ease my stress away when I lose.

When I lost in gambling I play music that I like so much it will indeed relief my stress and thinking, secondly I also remember a young and promising young man who has just finished his building setup the house with interiors and nice furnitures on his way coming back to enter his house he has a fatal accident and he couldn't survive it ,I think if someone who has finally finished his house died without staying in his house talk more of me who just lost a bet,I have the courage to smile again,this also keep me going.

It’s normal to feel that way, we’re human, we have emotions, and most of us aren’t pros when it comes to handling them. For me, sometimes when I’m on a bad run, I just let it all go, accept the loss, and call it a day. Then I pause gambling for a while until my mind feels balanced again.

Don’t let it affect you too much. One day you’re upset, the next day should be a fresh start.

It's true what you said, I lost money that I didn't intend to let go of, previously I was angry because in the last few days I had always been in a slump, I had used all the money I got from my work, and that's what made me angry, maybe in the next few weeks I won't play slots first, my mood is very bad, I will only continue to make rash decisions if I continue playing.

Many people drink to relieve stress, but not everyone uses the same strategies. Those who familiar with drinking alcohol will use alcohol to cope with stress, while those who take a break from gambling to cope with stress, focusing on social activities or other activities, can also reduce the stress of gambling. When I lose at gambling, I focus more on other things. I start hanging out with friends so that I can reduce my stress.

I do not relieve myself of stress when I lose in gambling, I do not do that because I am not even stressed at all. Just be using small amount of money to bet to understand what I mean. If you are using small amount of money to gamble, you will not be stressed at all. Do not look for money while gambling, but if you are looking for money through it, let it be small by using small amount of money to bet. Sorry for the loss of money.

I don't do anything, rather always gamble with what I can afford to lose because gambling is not a get rich quick scheme it is always a game of luck. That's why we don't need to gamble with big amount because it's only when you gamble with what you can not afford to lose that you would feel stress, without that there is no stress in gambling, so it is very necessary for us to always understand that gambling involves losses and there is no guarantee of winnings.

[Botnake]

We’re talking about the regret side of gambling. Everyone goes through that at some point, and that’s when we really see if we can manage ourselves the right way. When we lose, it’s normal to feel upset just like a kid not getting the toy he wants. That’s just the reality of gambling. It’s all about chances and understanding the risks, and if we’re realistic, we know casinos are profitable, which means we’re supposed to lose more than we win.

So the only real answer is to accept the reality and move on. Life continues, gambling continues.

[Shinpako09]

I play online games to divert my focus and not think about my losses, or I listen to music or watch movies to calm my mind. And if I know I can’t do any of those, I won’t check the result of my last bet, I just close my browser and do something else. So far, it’s the most effective. I only come back after a few hours or when I feel calm enough and ready to see the result. After that, whether it’s red or green, my emotions are usually more stable.

[casey15]

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

Watching good sitcom such as Big bang theory and many more can help me to immediately forget my losses since my mind was already focused on what I’m watching.

Injecting yourself with happy thoughts and good vibes can boost your self and ignore the anger feeling instead of soaking in your losses.

Going outside and doing house chores to help my wife is my other solution to make me busy and forget.
