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

[IjawMan]

You know in gambling you are more likely with greater chances of losing than you are with winning your bets. Will you at each time you lose your bet you will run to the club to have drinks as remedy to be  relieved of the resentment of losing?

You will make a good drunk and translate to a gambling addict cause the two vices addiction and drunkenness conveniently get along. I'm not entertaining you with words, gambling with what you can lose and be calm without going for a drink is what you must do to have a healthy gambling habit.

There is a chance drinking after losing in gambling may make things even worse, however, we can't generalize it, because it may work for some gamblers without any negative effects implied. Personally, to drink helps me reducing stress, so it would be definitely a good idea. However, there are indeed a portion of gamblers who will become more impulsive after drinking in a way it will work as a boost for them to chase losses, what is never a good idea.

Is not that I intend to generalize it to be that all linearly for all gamblers that drinks alcohol after a bad bet. Drinking in the right proportion not exceeding your guage that you become wasted then you can feel relaxed with good vibes. While in the contrary there are many that will get deteriorated  under alcoholic influence

An alternative to drinking is to go to the gym. To practice physical exercises and to lift some weights is definitely a good idea to discharge adrenaline and to forget problems for a while, as all your attention and energy will be on your body itself.

The gym is a right replacement fewer gamblers will recognise to make over the former. Different from alcohol that can be a threat the body vital organs, the gym builds mentally and physically

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?

Not everyone takes or enjoys alcohol as a means to relieve themselves off the stress, it may even trigger some people to want to even gamble more when they’re on alcohol. So people will have different ways they can handle that than going to take some beers. For me, I would totally stay away from my phone which I use to access the gambling site and then go take a rest or engage in other extracurricular activities. This is a very different way from yours and works just fine for many people who come across big losses while gambling. Alcohol is seen as another addiction that is related to gambling and can also be found in casinos. So it may not be the perfect reliever of stress to many gamblers.

Well today I took a definitive step to calm myself forever free of gambling, I have gone in every single major casino where I play and myself clicked the self-exclusion the best option out there, the permanent one. It is bye bye forever baby, it took me a lot of effort and very much assessment of what I was doing to trigger this decision once and for all. Maximum now I will placing sport betting in sport bookies only or playing poker but never again in my life touching slot machines for the rest of my life, I tried in the three casinos where I play and it was one worse than the other for both providers NoLimitCity and Pragmatic Play, also Hacksaw gaming. It took this to make me go bold in this decision and never look back. I have had enough of psychological stress and all related stress that this has costed me.

I simply approach it with a realistic mindset. Knowing how to accept that you can lose takes away unrealistic expectations, which means that when you lose, you don't take it too badly and you can manage it better. When you're realistic and don't expect too much from the game itself, you enjoy it more. If you win, you enjoy it immensely, and if you lose, you take it as a possibility of what can happen, and the most likely outcome. I don't recommend resorting to alcohol or things like that because you can end up the next day sadder and more stressed than usual...the infamous "moral hangover"

Yeah, that's actually a solid approach.

You treat it like a normal thing really.

If it works, great, if it doesn't, just move along...

at the end of the day losses are part of the game but sometimes really the emotions hit harder than expected especially if you didn’t prepare yourself mentally or financially so self-control should really from the start. Going off grid makes sense sometimes we really need quiet time to clear head & remind yourself that life is bigger than gambling and keeping yourself busy helps a lot. When my mind is occupied w/ work or something productive I don’t even think about the losses anymore.

That might be one way to relieve stress from gambling losses, but it doesn't work for everyone, and I think turning to alcohol only temporarily makes us forget. Once we sober up, we'll remember the loss again.

I personally prefer to be more productive, in other words, I'll find other activities. And actually, lately, I haven't been stressed about losing because the losses I've experienced are within my means, so I can relax.

So, I suggest that instead of trying to forget about our losses after losing, it's better to prevent stress by setting limits on our gambling.

Yeah, losses and wins are both part of the game.

Most gamblers only try to think about the wins, and forget about the losses.

But that's just not how the game works.

Losing a few hundred on a slot like mahjong ways hits hard because those games swing fast and the loss feels sudden so going out for a drink with a friend is something a lot of people do since it gives a quick way to detach from the moment and breathe again. Alcohol helps some people for a short while but it can also push others into chasing losses or drifting back into gambling when their mind isn’t steady so different people end up using different ways to cool down like putting the phone away going for a walk or just distracting themselves with something else until the urge fades.

The thing with drinking is it makes the stress disappear for a moment but once you sober up the loss still sits there waiting and that part can hit again so some people avoid alcohol completely when gambling is involved since both things can feed each other. Doing something productive or shifting into another activity works for a lot of gamblers because it pulls them into a space where the loss doesn’t control the entire day and if the losses stay within what they can afford the emotional weight becomes lighter and less dramatic.

I drink a lot of beer when I gamble, so I'm happy and no longer get angry. I'm joking definitely but I really drink when I gamble because drinking makes me happy and playing live blackjack makes me even happier. Btw I know my limits and despite the fact that I might get drunk, I do not act impulsively. I deposit up to $50 and I know that if I lose, I won't deposit again and if I win, I'll keep my winnings. I really get bored after gambling for a few hours and when I play BlackJack, $50 lasts me a very long time, so with this deposit I might be playing for more than a week because BlackJack has a low house edge and with the cashback option, I keep my balance.

If you gamble for fun, you won't be angry and if you get angry, then gambling is not a fun activity for you. I always say that if you can't have fun, then stop it. Gambling is meant to be a fun activity, not something that affects you negatively.

I usually close casino browser or try to leave casino if I have lost a really important bet and had a lot of stress during it. My strategy for anger management that works for years is to quickly leave area where something negative has happened, whether it a lost bet, talk I dont want to continue, fail while doing something. I dont recall when I was really angry last time. I clearly remember that during school, when I did not understand something, spend time figuring out and failing in the end, I use to throw books into the wall. I would probably throw gadget or other object in wall if I would have lost in a gambling, but I prefer to quickly stop gambling, go out and chill.

I guess you did the right thing to eliminate worry from your mind, because drinking and dancing with your friends in the club will make you to forget the losses that happened to you through out the day, but you will surely flash back to the losses the next day. The reason you feel the pain that makes you to run to your friends is because, you didn't gamble what you can afford to lose in the slots games, I guess you have learned something new from gambling, because there are amount of money you will lose in gambling you will prefer to commit suicide than to be alive for your friends to laugh at you.

I managed my anger through playing with my children to make them happy before I will start telling them some sweet story that will make them think something good happen to me in the gambling.

This is the best method, because I also started using it a couple of years ago and am very happy with it. Before, when I was gambling, I would smash my mouse against the wall or hit the keyboard when I was losing at an online casino. It would drive me crazy, but then I would regret breaking the buttons or the mouse. It's almost funny to think about it now, because I could never do that; it was just the game that had that effect on me. In any case, I understand that the game can have that effect on newbies now, who need to find ways to control their temperament. In fact, I haven't yet found a better method than immediately closing the game, but if you don't do that, you'll likely just leave that day with a huge loss. I've had that happen many times, unfortunately.

I have seen most of the gamblers who go to casinos regularly become addicted to alcohol. They are addicted to both gambling and drinking. Drinking alcohol is not a solution to reduce  stress. It gives us pleasure for a short time . But it is bad for both our physical health and mental health. To stay away from drinking , I have reduced my visits to casinos  and have given priority to online gambling. It is difficult to keep myself  away from drinking when going to casinos. As a result, the  ability to make good decisions decreases, and the chances of losing in gambling increase.

You see, I will say the best and possibly the most effective way to get over the anger is by avoiding whatever is going to cause you the anger in the first place. In simple term, avoing investing an amount of money that will frustrate you whenever any bet goes in the wrong direction. If you know you cannot afford to lose a certain amount of money, do not invest it in your gamble in the first place talk more of people who go to the level of borrowing money to gamble, it is the most craziest way you can get angry at yourself when you lose any gambling game.

Setting too high expectation happens to be one of the reasons why people often feel too disappointed when those losses comes, so the best way to avoid getting angry or upset by losses is to prepare for those losses, because when you expect something, you’ll never be taken by surprise, and it’ll help you make more informed choices because you already know that there are huge chances of things going bazaar, and if eventually that happens, the losses won’t be that severe and they won’t be affected by it, plus they’ll know better than to borrow money just to bet, because they’re aware that they can easily lose it any time.

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 agree.

The smaller the amount the better.

Gambling is entertainment. The delusional dream of getting rich quick by betting larger amounts is a complete illusion.
Paying a tiny bit for entertainment is fine and won't stress you out or ruin you financially.

But it requires self discipline and self-imposed restrictions.

[nullama]

Losing money from bets or gambling can be very annoying. It's painful to bet on games with intensions to get profits, only to loss it with the capital use and the supposed gain from bet.
The best thing to do is to go mingle with people to erase the thinking off my head, places like bar, recreation center, clubs shopping center after all that I will go home take a warm bath and sleep, by the time I wake up I will be relieved.

Yeah, it is just how of goes. The people that end up winning will be happy until they lose eventually.

And that's always how its going to be.

No need to spend all your money in gambling

I would advise you to just take a good break from the gambling for a while. If gambling has got you at a point where you get furious or you feel rage then it's time to take a good break. I mean I can understand the losing money is painful and all but at the same time, we cannot allow emotions be involved in gambling and whenever you start noticing an emotional attachment in gambling, just take a break.

How did you get to that extend of losing such huge amount of money in a single night, there's no cry in casino, just stay strong. No one can tell you how to relieve yourself, it will hurt you for long. Except you're a strong minded person. But for now, just stay close to your friends and family, don't stst alone,you will heal fast. But take a break and stop staking high in slot. Don't take alcohol, avoid drugs too it won't help you heal ,it will cause you more money and pains. Stay around friends that won't abuse you or blame you.
