How did you react at people around you when you lose in gambling?

[Yablee0]

Yesterday I was having some time with one of my very good child hood friends so we both had fun together at one joint close to his area after much conversation he was able to disclose some of his betting slips that he lost so much money up to like $800, though he wasn't that happy but as my guy I was just trying to cool him off and to make he see reasons why he should let it slide and shouldn't be disturbed by it.

However, after we are both done I decided to walk him to his house reaching there one of his son ran to was him to welcome him as usual but I was shock the way he reacted to his son, he just shouted at him and order him to go inside. That was very rude of him so to speak but am pretty sure his actions was as a result of his lost.

I can understand how significant lost in gambling can making one to start reacting rude to people around them, what about you how did you react to people around you when you lost money in gamble?

I don't allow my losses to take full control of my emotions to the point of yelling at people especially, your loved ones. If I run at loss and the money is what I cannot afford to lose, I feel bad and do regret betting with such amount of money. I don't talk to anyone at that moment but stay quiet and wouldn't need any disturbance from anyone.

However, there are other things that can make me angry and shout at anyone who disgust me at that moment with whatever, he is doing. You should habe asked your friend why he shouted at his son that way maybe, he would have told you the reason.

One should never gamble with more than they can afford, and even if they convince themselves to place such a high bet, they should bear the loss alone and not transfer the anger to anyone. Nobody contributed to that loss, and no one should suffer it with them.

Was the money that your friend lost the potential amount that sums up to the amount, or was it the total amount staked? I have seen some people get very angry because they almost won a particular bet slip, and the potential winning amount is high, which is very wrong—to consider what you have not won as yours already.

The money he lost was the total amount staked, that's why he was so angry with every one around him.

It's really hard to control yourself when a big loss is perceived as an injustice of fate. This is one of the downsides of gambling - you can ruin family relationships, especially if intemperance is regular. There is a chance to win money in a casino one day, but it is impossible to restore a damaged relationship. And even if you don't win, no amount of losses is worth destroying a family. After all, how does it turn out in the end? And the money is lost and the family is destroyed. That's the insidiousness of weak self-control. It seems to me that it is better for such a person either not to gamble at all or to do it extremely rarely.

[Sammye3]

At this certain point, I tend to find my own peace and not let it out on people no matter what. I would rather not say anything to avoid spitting out hurtful words but rather remain quiet and meditate on the loss for a while trying to convince myself it's only a phase that would soon pass.

Sometimes I listen to music or go for a stroll, maybe with friends and in few occasions I take a nap just to cool off. I think everyone has a way of relieving their self from losses that cause emotional outrage, a way that best works for them. I had a friend who would play football after a bad day at gambling and that really helped him too, so it's an individual perspective.

I'm a moderate gambler and I would never lose big amounts of money. It's completely normal for every gambler to feel angry and frustrated after losing a big amount of money. I feel a little bit sad and frustrated when I lose a small amount of money. If I ever lose several hundred dollars worth of crypto via gambling I would most likely try to break something to let my anger out, but fortunately I'm pretty much OK with keeping emotional self-control and also keeping my gambling losses under control. The guy from your story must be careful not to chase loses and get addicted, he has a child. Gambling can ruin his family life.

[danherbias07]

Self-control. That's why we need to move on as quickly as possible after losses. We cannot let it linger in our head because it will mess it up. We can get frustrated every day thinking about it over and over again, but we can never change what we have done.
What he did was not right, and if ever the kid finds out that he is acting that way because of his losses from gambling, he might mimic him when he grows up, or worse, hate him when he is of the right age to think for himself. I can understand the frustration, and it leads to regrets that consume us. Next to that is stress. But we do not have to let it overcome us.

[Kelvinid]

It is a negative effect of gambling…
Desperation, anger, etc…Honestly, gambling could change our behavior if we let it control our minds. That is why it is very important not just that we know how to gamble but also that we know how to manage to control ourselves.

If I have to talk about gambling with friends, I don't mention losses because it only leads to discomfort and misjudgment. It is better to talk about good memories, as it boosts courage.

When I was using high amount of money to gamble, if I lost money, I do not put the frustration or annoyance on anyone. People may not know that I lost money to gambling but I may be calmer than usual, not with depressing look but neither would I he happy.

But those days are gone, I know more about gambling and I stopped using high amount of money to gamble which I know is the reason and I know gambling with small amount of money will be better. Since I have been using small amount of money to gamble, I have felt better and good even if I lose the bet.

[Ishicryptic]

Nothing changes when I lose in gambling because I never use significant amounts for it, since I learnt to always use amounts that I'm comfortable to loose I get over loses almost immediately. Despite the arguments that surrounds whether it is right to gamble for fun or not I've concluded by myself that for peace of mind in gambling we should do it for fun. What can make somebody to be frustrated and angry at everybody is when they use significant amount to gamble and lose it, the frustration will remain for a very long time. Your winnings are by luck, if you are not lucky to win you don't have to be aggressive to others when you lose because they are not responsible for your lose

Such reactions could be involuntary. You would know when you would react offensively because of the pain of losing big. A neighbour in my residence is a victim of this behaviour. When he losses everyone will be aware because he would keep quarrelling with his wife. We will also know when he wins because he would turn to a loving husband.

During my early stage of gambling, I used to act abnormally after losing in gambling. But as I gained more experience, it became clear that gambling within my means is the best means of reducing or avoiding such rude reaction after losing.

It's not surprising at all, when I first started playing I lost a certain amount to a bet that would likely to win so I bet all my bankroll (not that much maybe around $60) and I was actually pissed because one of the player throws the game and it goes through me and I didn't know that I was being rude to anyone including my family and friends and it snapped me when one of my family member asked if I have some kind of problem and if there's anything he can do to help me and from that point I really saw the danger of gambling. Not only you'll be losing financially but you might also lose connection or relationship to your family if it gets through your head, that's why I really don't encourage gambling if they really can't afford to lose what they're going to deposit.

Right now, I'm not that perfect but I do find a way to avoid this, I keep my bankroll on a weekly basis and I do have a max bet of $5 for each sports betting bet, this keeps me playing for a longer time and if I lose, it doesn't really matter since it's not that big overall.

[Dechris_08]

That’s really bad, reacting to his son that way.

That’s one thing I understand about betting, when you lose a huge amount of money, you can’t really take your mind off it. It messes with your head and makes people react like that.

Now imagine if he had only lost maybe $100 or less.

He wouldn’t have been in such a bad mood.

For me, I only use money I can afford to lose. That way, even if I lose it, it doesn’t affect my mood.

[Cointxz]

I don’t play when there’s people around because I don’t want to influence them to gamble and I’m not comfortable someone watching me from behind when gambling at home.

Emotion is high when gambling so there’s a high chance that you might overreact to others especially if you are losing.

I always assume the worst of me when gambling so I avoid being with other people when gambling.

[Outhue]

I don't ever keep people close to me when I am gambling, or am I supposed to keep people close? Reaction only shows among gamblers in a physical casino but for someone who gambles online you aren't going to gamble when someone is there next to you. I won't even be able to concentrate if there is some close beside me.

I like online gambling because it's private, no one will know that I gamble unless I tell them myself, and I don't go out in the public and pull out my phone to start gambling, I always gamble when I am inside my room with no one in sight.

People that react to those around them negatively because of their losses im gambling are incapable of self control. it is normal to be angry after losing but it is stupid to transfer that aggression on others because they are not responsible for your losses, gamblers that do this are not mature. you should be able to know where to draw the line between gambling and your relationship with others.

You are right. Same goes to people who after watching a football match and their team loses, they transfer all the anger to their spouse and children at home. After every acts of anger, there should be moments these people reflect on their actions and regret whatever they did when they had no control over their emotions.  They should use that moment to make decisions about themselves; never to bet with what they cannot afford to lose, never to follow up matches again if it troubles their emotions or never to bet again if losing money hurts them so much, no matter how small the money is. Self control is not as easy as we think, it takes this little decisions and discipline to make it work

when someone loses a large amount of money in gambling it is very normal for their behavior to change, at that moment the mind is full of thoughts about the loss, anger frustration and regret work together, in this state a person often does not realize what they are doing or who they are hurting, that is why the anger comes out on close people especially family or children, but this is not right at all. they are not responsible for the loss, blaming others for your own mistake is not fair, in such situations the best thing is to give yourself some time,you need to calm down,if you gamble you must accept mentally that losses will happen, if you cannot do that then quitting gambling is the best decision, family and relationships are more important than any amount of money...

This is basic human psychology, you do not need to be a defeated in gambling but whenever you feel disappointed, you react different than how you usually to be. Just imagine about first time losing in gambling, your emotions will burst out and may pick up fight even with family members which must be the reason, starting with least bankroll is highly recommended.

Gambling could become your regular routine when you least bother it, such practice would be possible only when you risk very small amount. It can be sportsbetting or poker or slots, still starting with small amount and getting familiar with profits and losses would build a perfect gambler who will simply move on even with a million dollar profits.
