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

[imamusma]

~~

People react differently when they loose huge amount of money to gambling but we should understand that gambling is just a game of luck and shouldn't allow emotions from the lost control us and we started reacting rudely to people around us, most persons can even go as far as beating their partners and pouring the frustration of not winning on their children which is very bad and uncalled for, that doesn't speak good of the person.

Gamblers should try to control their emotions when they loose and never allow it take a better part of themselves, if I bet and loose I usually don't talk to people around me I will just go dead silent all through the night or day depending on when l lost the game, but I will advise us to gamble lightly and see it as fun so when we loose it doesn't affect us much. No one will be happy loosing such amount but let the aggression not be transfer to  family members, we should be able to control our emotions always.

Simply put, we must not lose things that are far more important than gambling losses, namely family and the people closest to us, and gambling with small amounts is the best way to avoid falling into such a bad situation. It is true that losses will still feel painful and can make emotions unstable, especially if you suffer large losses. Many gamblers have likely experienced such bad days, and the best approach is to choose some time alone until you are able to regain control of your emotions.

I'd avoid people if the hotness of my losing is still there and remains triggering my emotion. I don't want to be rude to the people that's around me.

Because that's how gambling is foreseen by others as something bad. And that's because of how we react whenever we lose.

It should start from us to avoid interacting with others first temporary at that moment when we can't face those losses yet.

But when everything has cooled down and calm down, and we know that we're already fine. That's the time that we can interact again with them.

Always choose to be the kind gambler and not the reactive one.

[Nothingtodo]

If I lose while gambling, I don't want to show any reaction to others and I try to control myself as much as I can. Moreover, I always participate in gambling with the amount of money I can afford to lose. There are many people who, when they lose in gambling, try to impose their anger or pride on others and start blaming others. This is undoubtedly a foolish act, besides, it is wise to admit your own fault and control yourself and keep calm.

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?

Oh man, poor kid. That rifht there is a direct result of any losses incurred and he took it out on his kid. That is the reality of the situation and one of the worst side effects of gambling and losing. People who cant remain calm and allow themselves to bleed and let it get to them should hold their words and cool off in that circumstance to avoid harming loved ones

[Achalugo BTC]

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.

Absolutely, but that doesn't make any point for one to shout or channel you to because they are not the cause of your predicament, assuming people follow the rules and regulations of gambling, they won't be affected in anyway that gambling doesn't favour them. Although anger is a natural feeling but it can be controlled, which is why self-control is also important as it will help one not to become so emotional, which might make them to do things that they will regret doing. Embrace responsible gambling for the sake of your well-being, both financially, emotionally and mentally.

[Jody.Drummer]

Sometimes people gamble without being prepared to lose, and when they lose, their reaction is frustration, which can lead to uncontrolled emotions and possibly venting on others, whether consciously or unconsciously. But the right thing to do is to accept defeat, so we don't get upset and react badly to others who don't know anything about it, because if that happens, it is irresponsible gambling behavior.

You are right, it's makes more sense preparing your mind towards anything that might happen in the cause of your gambling, it's important we know this fact that gambling is never ensure and one we can  lose money at any given time and their nothing we can do about it. Getting mad at people around us just because we have lost money make no sense to me after all they didn't send us to go gambling at the first place so why transferring aggression on them instead of staying calm and accept our Lost, however gambling isn't a must that you must play perhaps if you aren't finding it fun or interesting anymore it's better you walk away and have your peace than attacking everyone that crossed your way at that point in time.

Getting angry at those around us because of our losses is bad because I think it shouldn't happen or be done, and even if we do it, it will only show that we are bad people in their eyes. It makes sense to be angry at friends who force us to gamble, even though we could have refused their coercion. You are right in saying that if we no longer enjoy gambling or feel that it makes us overly emotional, it is better to just leave.

It is good to stay composed after losing a game and not try to blame anyone else of your inactions or your predicament at a given point in time due to a failed gambling outcome and lost of resources. First of all, it is good to always be bold enough to accept your mistakes or failure, own up to it and also give it a break when necessary so as to come back to it when you are more comfortable with your mindset. Gambling is not a do or a die affair and it is something you as a person indulge in without being forced or pushed into it so it always a good idea to own up to your decisions.

Personally, I equally don't see anything wrong with sharing it or make a statement about it publicly because saying them instead of keeping it back to your self, you can actually voice it out to people around you and even seek for their idea or opinion where need be but it is something you should be ashamed of whatever because of your lack of luck with a particular bet.

Some parents are naturally hostile to their children, and some times, even to people around then because this is their natural attitude, they don't know how to be friendly or even act friendly.
And I am not saying your friend is a hostile person naturally, of course the lost bet can as well be or serve as a reason for the rude attitude he displayed to his son, but let's not remove the fact that that could as well be a natural part of him..

As for me, no matter how much I lose to gambling or betting, I make sure not to transfer or extend the anger to my wife and children if actually I am angry, why? The answer is simple, it's not their fault that I lost a bet, I didn't even consult any of them before placing the bet, why then should force then into sharing in my grief when the bet failed to turn out the way it should?

What's there to explain? It's all perfectly clear. The reason for this emotional behavior was a major loss. I myself have experienced extreme emotional distress when I lost several months' wages at the casino in a single day. It's hard to control yourself when your financial situation is precarious due to your own stupidity. This becomes not only an irritant but also a trigger for even more vile acts. If you lack discipline, it's best to never touch gambling.

I completely agree with your point. Whatever your situation is you should anger towards other especially when it comes to gambling. Directing anger towards other isn't justified. Well many feel frustrated when they loss but those who know how to manage it are real Gambler. Self control and emotional discipline are essential in gambling and everyday life as well. Losing control for gambling can hard your reputation and relationship and it lead to regret that can't be undone whatever you do

[TopTort777]

I feel ashamed, because when I lose there are moments when I silently curse and say bad words about people around me (when gambling in offline casino) That is the bad part of my character. Sometimes I feel hate for no reason towards other people. I am smart enough to keep mouth shut I am a kind person, but dont you dare to call me when I am busy and concentrated

If your behavior changes after a loss, it means you are doing something wrong. I agree that you should only play with an amount of money that you can easily afford to lose. In that case, a loss will not affect you, your mood, or the people around you in any way. But if after a loss you notice that you start to change somehow, then I think it is a sign that you need to reflect on what you are doing wrong and reconsider your approach to gambling.

[SFR10]

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?

Considering that I rarely go beyond using half of the amount that I can afford to lose, the outcome of the bets I place has little to no impact on how I treat people around me ^{[if your friend can't properly control his emotions, perhaps he shouldn't gamble in the first place (bad things happen when that anger turns into rage)]}.

[nimogsm]

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 am quite calm about losing because I always play for the amount I am prepared to lose so that I don't end up like the person described in the post and so that I don't take my anger out on those around me.Of course, I want to be alone in the first few hours after losing so that no one gives me advice on what I should have done, etc. You need to know how to lose and come to terms with yourself that's also important.

This is what happens when you can't control yourself, first the control of emotions in gambling, second the control of emotions and above all the anger towards those who really only want your affection.
I always say it and always will say it, if a person is emotionally not ready to gamble, therefore to face losses above all, he absolutely must not gamble.
Everyone would love to get a win, but not everyone can afford to play both emotionally and financially.
The mind is the basis of everything.

Actually many times people get angry when they lose because they are not mentally prepared for the situation. The loss of money is not the only blow to their ego. So they attempt to preserve their own self by finding fault with others even though deep inside they know it was their own fault. I think that the real problem here is not gambling, but the inability to control their emotions, If a person accepts ahead of time that it is normal to lose, then there is no need to express the anger in anger. Being calm does not mean being weak but being able to control yourself is the real strength.

Loss is a reality in gambling and I have long accepted that. If you play slots a lot, you will get comfortable with whatever the outcome is - losses are mostly part of it. And this is my mindset before I start to play. People around me are also slot players and they know this already. One has to be emotionally mature to gamble if not they run the risk of suffering from mental breakdowns.

Playing slots a lot isn't a yardstick to become comfortable with losses in gambling because there's a certain amount of money you lose in slots, you will start chasing losses in order to recover the money. In my opinion, I think the comfortable way to accept losses in gambling is to see gambling as a way of having and also using what you can afford to lose to gamble so that when you lose, the thought of chasing losses won't trigger in your brain.

Gambling is accepting losses and the only sense of emotional control is not the number of slots one plays, but a proper attitude towards it and money management. Being able to use what you can afford to lose is a massive difference in the manner you respond not only towards the loss but also to the individuals surrounding you. With no impact of loss on your life and money, you should not be angry or yell. That's where maturity shows. The pursuit of losses is that which tends to make things stressful, conflictual, and long-term both mentally and socially.

[Dunamisx]

Am not the type that like transferring aggression, because this does not solve the problem, it can even implicate for more, because we tend to have issues with those around us, when we feel bad and sobber about having a loss, then the next thing to do is in ranting and being uncheerful to those around us, when they are contributing nothing to the incidence that happened to us.

Using an amount you can afford to lose as a gambler is far better than trying to look for ways for you to make huge profits from gambling using huge amounts you cannot afford to lose. Those that understand gambling and how to retain their balance instead of losing everything to gambling because of the greed involved will have reason to be thankful for their self discipline.
