If gambling losses ruin your mood, you might be risking too much.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Until we take the risk we cannot afford to lose in gambling before we could see gambling changing our mood as a result, the issue is not even about gambling here but our own personal decision and mentality of how we reason and gamble, this is why we must first discipline ourselves and gamble in a responsible manner so has not to get some negative impression about gambling to ourselves as a result.

[Perfectbaby]

To be frank I have always found myself in such situations but I have also tried my best to have control over gambling because when you do not have control over your emotions that is when you gets attacked and also being emotionally unstable because you allowed gambling loses to detect your mood and how you should be treating yourself. Gambling is good but is more better when you gamble with the amount you should be able to risk or lose that is why many people found it too hard for them to let go the amount they lose while gambling that is why their emotions ruined every single moment of their day.

Have you ever been in that situation where after losing in gambling, your mood just changes completely?

Like you still have things to do for the day, maybe some work, business, family stuff, or anything productive. But because you lost, suddenly you don’t feel like doing anything anymore. Your whole day feels ruined just because of that loss.

For me, that is already a sign that maybe the money you used was not really “extra money.” Because if it was truly money you can afford to lose, then losing it should not destroy your whole mood or make you useless for the rest of the day. This is why gambling is dangerous when emotions are already involved. Some people say they are only gambling for fun, but once they lose, they become angry, quiet, stressed, or even start chasing losses. Maybe the real test is not just whether you can afford to lose the money, but whether you can still continue your normal day after losing it.

The simple truth about this is that it's human nature, no body likes to lose. Everyone wants to win and double their money, despite the fact that most times we indend to gamble for entertainment the amount we can afford to lose.
Sometimes because we are humans makes us feel bad about our losses.
But when it gets to a point whereby a gambler can not take it anymore, or his losses ruined his or her whole day then that's a sign that the gambler risked too much of money on gamble, probably what he expected wasn't what he gets.

[michellee]

Yes but that was in the past. But I can handle my losses and not have changes my mood after the losses. I realize that money I use to gamble can lose anytime so I already prepare with the losses. I allocate money for playing gambling so I know the risk of losing money and not lose more than I can afford. Losing money in gambling might changing your mood but you should handle and controls your emotion because that could happens anytime so you should continue your normal day without anything change in your mood.

[Juicyhome]

The truth is that, even if you gamble with what you can afford to lose, when you lose it it will still hurt you , you might not react publicly to it but deep down you will sad, gambling is an emotional game and if you lose your emotions for gambling you will find it hard to recover from it.  That's why we advised you gamble responsibly and stake low, so if you lose it you won't be emotionally down.

If yu risk too much for a game that's 100% luck then you have yourself to blame when the consequence face you,instead of you to risk for gambling use the fund to invest in assets it will benefit you more than gambling.

Have you ever been in that situation where after losing in gambling, your mood just changes completely?

-snip-

I have lived that situation before, but it is ages that I don't feel it anymore, at least when I gamble or bet (with other situations that depend on randomness in real life I still struggle). If something ruins your moods, it means that you are giving a lot of importance to it, and there are important things, but I don't think an entertainment for me like gambling is so important. The moment you take it otherwise, I think that you're making a mistake, even if you want to.

[Hazink]

This is why they say that when you lose by gambling, if you are not gambling with your spare money and in your free time you will be losing not just money but also other things which are important to you. That's while it's necessary for us to try as much as possible to only gamble when we don't have important activities like when we are completely free and use money you can easily let go.

[Doan9269]

I'm not the kind of emotional Gambler that will be more desperate on what an outcome of a game may be, because I don't gamble beyond my capacity and I don't also gamble in order to make profit or win by all means, gambling is expected to be as a way of having fun and we get entertained by so doing, we should be able to apply the right strategy and also caution ourselves of the risky take in gambling, some of these risk are not even worth it, you will see a situation whereby a gambler will gamble and at the end begin to think over it because of the challenges he may face after the game turned a loss.

[joeperry]

Have you ever been in that situation where after losing in gambling, your mood just changes completely?

Actually that's true since if the amount doesn't bother you, it won't really affect you even if you lose that amount. I experienced that before, when I am new to gambling and I deposited much more than my planned deposit since I was trying to win back my losses. Not only that, even if you don't risk too much but somewhat win a favorable amount and lose it afterwards there's a bitterness you will feel and after playing you are not in the mood since you might think what you can do with that winnings if you just withdraw it earlier.

[Findingnemo]

The disappointment doesn't always mean a financial loss, it can also be due to just the loss that we are so sure that we will end up winning. But no matter what is the reason if it is affecting our other work, then we need to stop doing it and just gamble only when we are ready to accept whatever the outcome is.

[Hispo]

It has happened to me in the past, when I was pretty much gambling only on dices. I started to wager more than I could afford to lose and I suddenly lost 20 bucks in a single roll.
It ruined my day and I felt like immediately chasing those losses, but I control myself and just logged out.

One needs to recognize what our ideal amount to gamble is, so we don't miss any amount we could lose in a sudden way due to our own bad luck.

In the case of dices and slots, one also needs to be careful with the pase of our session, and moderate the speed we all push the spin and roll button, as it could drain our balance faster than we expected, leaving us with urges to continue to gamble, even though we do not longer have any balance left to go on.

Yes, that's the old me, not wanting to do anything even the usual work becomes difficult to do, thoughts become chaotic, emotions peak. That's gambling, and I'm pretty sure most gamblers have been in this state and probably still are. Therefore, I agree with you that the money involved must really be money that can be borne, because after entering the site whatever results at the end we will get we must still think that the deposit already belongs to the casino.

[suzanne5223]

Agreed with what you said because when a gambler loses money, they can't afford to lose in a game, the things that usually follow are anxiety, depression, sleepless nights, anger, and hopeless feelings, while some may be drinking or have high blood pressure. But in a situation when the money is something the gambler can afford to lose, there won't be any negative feelings or emotions.

I use a very small amount of money for gambling, meaning I use 1% to a maximum of 5% of my income. I never use more than that. Since I use a very small amount of money for gambling, if I lose in gambling, I don't feel bad at all and I don't have any inattention to any work throughout the day. I can spend the whole day with my good mood and can complete any work with a good mood. Those who use gambling as a means of earning money and use unlimited amounts of money on gambling platforms, when they lose, their mood becomes bad and they become inattention to do any work and spend their day very badly.

Although I have the ability to lose money, sometimes when I lose, even if it does not affect my personal life, I feel a little uneasy mentally. And when I lose, my decision-making ability is affected by a little emotion. Although personally  losing is within my control . I still feel a little upset mentally when I lose . I don't think anyone likes to lose. Similarly  I don't like to lose very much. However  we should not be overly emotional and mentally depressed all day because of losing and trying to compensate for the loss. Just as it is necessary to consider how much money we can afford to lose, it is also important to consider how much we can mentally stabilize if we lose.

Taking risk is what is going to bring the money and gamblers should not be angry when losing money.
I know there are people that are emotional when they lose money and this kind of people are not supposed to be gambling at all because their is higher risk in gambling which people that are often emotional have to avoid. Highly emotional gamblers are the ones that often become addicted to gambling because they can't make bold decisions that will help reshape the way they bet.

[Ashawowo(OS)]

I agree with that, gambling isn't something that should affect your mood because if it does then it means that you are not doing the right thing. There are lots of people that get overly excited when they win an amount of money and also get extremely depressed when they end up losing, these emotional rollercoasters are not really necessary to have as gamblers, it is better to take away emotions totally.

I don't think it is possible to take away your emotions totally, you're a human being and human beings get emotional when the needs arises, but we must control it to the extent it doesn't start deciding our actions or affecting our living. It is more about programming our mindset not to expect anything from gambling and any result we get, whether win or loose we accept it with good faith as long as we participated only with an amount we can afford to loose. It is normal to get excited when we win, especially if the win is big, but surely we should prepare our mind for days with a negative result and not loose ourselves to it and allow our emotions get a better hold of us.

This is normal, especially those who are overconfident, fall into these situations more often. Because they have a confidence that if they gamble, they will win and get back the amount of money they have risked here and will get some profit. But at that time, after they lose, they lose their money, then their mood changes and they start behaving abnormally. And at that time, they feel that they should take more risks because they have to recover that loss. At that time, they cannot think about anything else except gambling more. To be honest, I have also been in such situations, but when I gamble, I do not think that I will lose the amount of money I use there, so I can easily accept my loss now.

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

 Such would mostly happen when a gambler use money outside their extra cash to gamble, we make silly decisions out of taking risk for huge profits and it sometimes backfires, I don't think there's anyone who would do such that won't get moody or angry for the silly decision they took.
 I'm talking based on experience cause I've made silly gambling decisions that got me so angry at myself for not using what I can lose without feeling hurt but then I don't get sad or moody when I use extra cash for gambling cause it's something I can spare to lose. Humans would always react when we lose huge amount of money based on silly decisions which is why gamblers should alwaye gamble with extra cash they can spare to lose.

[Fiatless]

I use a very small amount of money for gambling, meaning I use 1% to a maximum of 5% of my income. I never use more than that. Since I use a very small amount of money for gambling, if I lose in gambling, I don't feel bad at all and I don't have any inattention to any work throughout the day. I can spend the whole day with my good mood and can complete any work with a good mood. Those who use gambling as a means of earning money and use unlimited amounts of money on gambling platforms, when they lose, their mood becomes bad and they become inattention to do any work and spend their day very badly.

What if you are close to winning big and something suddenly happens that makes you lose the game? You would feel sad because you were expecting to win. Your sadness might not be related to the amount you bet but to the amount you would have won. Using a small amount for gambling helps to reduce tension, but we can still react to small bets. Betting with an amount that can destabilize your activities if there is a loss should be discouraged.
