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

[danherbias07]

Sleep. If I can manage to take a nap or sleep, it could erase a part of that memory.

I don't know how you lost that much in just one game, and that game ain't even fun. Yeah, I played it too. That's the game where a Chinese voice will tell about the multiplier every time a combo happens.
For me, that game sucks. There was a time it took me an hour playing that game because it was just giving back what I lost, and after an hour, it took it all. I have not won anything from that game.

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 you go to a club to relieve stress isn't that just putting yourself in a situation where you could potentially lose more money? or maybe the stress you feel from gambling isn't actually about the money you're losing?
If I lose control, I often distract myself by scrolling through social media or watching a movie then go to bed and don't gamble for a few days.

Most times, before I bet on a game I consider it that it's lost and it's no longer my money. This could really help to reset my mindset to whatever outcome whether a win or a loss as I have already pre-programmed my mindset. It's not always easy dealing with a loss, both in betting and in the business so I just tend to reset my mindset to expect anything.

In some cases, if there is still any trace of regrets after the loss, I tend to be around friends who make me laugh, maybe go for a drink or a stroll. Friends might not always be around at times like this, since they could be about their own business, so I could listen to cool music or play video games if alone as I just try to make myself busy to forget about the loss.

Do you need to gamble? Tell me,  if it is not greed and addiction that have made you lose much money you cannot afford to lose in gambling. Simple gamble rules we don't follow at all, yet we complain as if gambling is the problem.

OP, I cannot relate to the anger and all the emotions people get after losing in gambling. Before I bet, I already believe the money is no longer my own, so no emotions attached to it.

Going for a drink to relieve pressure, stress is a total waste of time because the drink highness will only last for few minutes or hours and when it is gone the pressure, stress and thoughts will still come back unless you want to be drinking all the time and it is not healthy and one can turn addict if they continue drinking because it will become a routine or maybe you would see it as a therapy. The truth is we can not really forget so easily but with time we will so taking drink is total waste because we should face reality and deal with it by accepting our loss and knowing it is inevitable.

Anger and stress after losing are pretty natural especially when it’s a big loss but the key is how fast you can regain control of your emotions going out for a drink with a friend like you did can work in the short term because it distracts your mind from the loss but if that becomes a routine every time you lose it might not be the healthiest coping mechanism.

Personally when i lose i try to disconnect completely from gambling for a while i go for a walk listen to music or hit the gym physical movement helps release the frustration much better than sitting and replaying what went wrong in your head some people meditate or journal about the experience because writing it down helps process the emotion instead of bottling it up. Another thing that helps is changing your mindset before you even start playing if you set the expectation that the money you gamble with is already spent it softens the emotional hit of losing once you begin to see it as entertainment instead of profit making the stress fades faster and you can move on without needing to escape it through drinking or more gambling.

I'm still surprise to hear you Said that you were stressed after everything that have been said here as regards to gambling stress and ways in which we can avoid such from happening. It is obvious that you weren't betting with what you can afford probably what you can't afford which is why you got stressed out at some point and I guess you must have exhaust your bankroll which is why you are able to leave immediately. Or maybe you only have some cent Left?

I don't have anger when losing rather I only get stressed out, and the best way to clear my head is by going to the beer pallor to grab few bottles or better still I turn on the TV to any of these comedy channels then I will be relief from the stress.

Losses are very normal in gambling and it is something that you must always be ready for as a gambler. Drinking or getting involved in something fun only gets your mind off the stress temporarily, after getting high everything comes back to you the next day. The best thing you can do is discipline your mind to accept losses and try as much as possible tp always gamble responsibly so you don't regret too much

Actually, if I share my current situation with you, when it comes to gambling, I set a specific limit on the amount I gamble with beforehand, so that if I lose, I don't have a break from gambling for that day or for that specific period of time. In this case, I try to cool myself down, maybe in the beginning I was a lot like you, but now that I have realized that gambling is not a sector where we will always win, rather it is seen that most of the time we lose, so I gamble from my lost ability, and instead of stressing myself, I try to enjoy gambling.

[bitbollo]

If you play games based on luck (like slots...) of course you can't be upset if you lose.
But if you play sport games, you cannot lose. Literally. Or at least, you had to be really clear that you had to limit as much as you can your loss.
Of course, losses are part of the games. If they happens and are already planned it is ok...

Sleeping is the hardest part to do in my case when I lose in gambling because all the memories on how I lose keeps running on my head since it’s hard to forget it without any distractions.

Going outside and socializing to friends helps me to calm down since my mind forget my losses and focus on the topic we discussed with my friends.

I experienced losing big before bed time and it gives me insomnia.

I don’t place large bets, but that doesn’t mean that gambling is the only way someone can waste money. Usually, if I feel stressed for any reason, a good run helps me, preferably when the weather is unpleasant. It clears my mind, reduces emotional noise, and makes the situation feel emotionally neutral, which allows me to approach and resolve problems more maturely.

What kind of Mahjong Ways? There are two and three as far as I know. I will tell you base on my experienced that maybe I won just 2 out of like 20 games as it is very volatile. I love the game but I keep on losing money so I just stop playing that game for a long time now. So I was so surprised to see that someone had a similar experience as it is really very addicting. But for any other games, yeah most of the time I will just curse specially when I didn't do withdraw when I still have the winnings. As far as managing those kind of bad experience, I will just have to sleep it over and the next day I woke up, I won't feel any of that bad experience and think that it's just part of the experience.

Whenever I start gambling or depositing, I ask myself "Is it alright to lose this money? What would I feel if I lose this" and if all is good it would reduce my stress when I lose it knowing it's just a spare money. It's different when you've won big amount and lose it all at the same time (based on experience). It actually doesn't anger me but more likely frustrated and the first thing I do is close my computer since I might be tempted to deposit again and win back my losses, and usually what I do is go to the gym or brisk walk outside and do a cold shower and personally this calms me down and actually managed to be in control with my emotion and desire to win back those losses.

Well, I stopped gambling in such a manner where if I lose money to the game, I get angry, now, I make sure that every penny I am going to spend on gambling is money I am absolutely ready to lose, and if I end up losing the money, it's absolutely fine since it's money I've already planned on gambling with and every person in their right senses understand and know that in gambling, there are only two outcomes, either one loses or wins, and a gambler who knows what he or she is doing will prepare for both.

But before I came to this realization though, there is nothing I do to calm myself from anger after losing a significant amount of money to gambling, I simply calm down over time..
But then, there are times I could simply choose to watch a movie, maybe a few I've been hoping to watch for a long time, I seize that opportunity to watch the movie and it does help me to forget about the experience I had with gambling moments back.

Good point, though if OP is not that much worry about the amount of money he lose, taking time to entertain yourself or finding alternative ways to keep your mind busy is the right thing to do. Though I'm not that much into gambling but if ever I lose some amount of money that's not really  for gambling, most of the time turning myself into sport gives me some chill time to forget what happened, just need to relocate your attention to forget bad things that happened.

You are angry because you may not be able to afford to lose the money due to playing beyond your budget.
I usually feel annoyed and regretful, but it's only temporary, and if before losing everything, my heart tells me to stop, but I ignore it, but if I haven't thought about stopping, then losing money is just a normal feeling.

[Accardo]

Nothing works better than getting enough rest and talking over the losses, it helps to relieve the stress and anxiety following a loss. Then cutting the rate at which you spend in the casinos would also help you get over the trouble of trying to wipe off a recurring thought of losses.

Yeah I have done that so many times and it's not just the club alone I go to ease my stress. Sometimes I go to my friend's house to play PS. Sometimes too I go home light my blunt and slam music. These are the few ways I know I ease my stress when I lose certain amount in gambling in a day. I know gambling is all about losing and winning. But there are certain days that losses will get into you and you just need to clear your head.

I dont remember when gambling loss turned me angry, more disappointed I would say. When that happens, I quickly close browser and do something else, usually what not requires to use device I was gambling on. I do that not because I am afraid to turn angry and do something with gadget I gambled on, but to switch focus on something else and completely change my mind. I can say that I also do that to prevent chasing loss.
