I have some minor frustrations during my session but it is a rare case.  I had set my mind to enjoy the game, win or lose, I keep telling myself to let it go and accept whatever the result is.  As long as we conditioned our mind on what will be our reaction and forget the urge of greed, I think frustration will seldom occur even if we are at a losing streak.  Anyways, frustrations is just in the state of mind, we can combat it by just diverting our attention (just like what OP did) and pre-conditioning our mind right before we play.

Even when I have loosing streaks I don't stop.
I always say, this time this time..And get fucked.

If you feel like you are "getting fucked", you should stop anyways, no matter if you are on a win streak or on a lose streak.
If you feel like you can't control your gambling habits then I don't think that you should be gambling at all.
Gambling can be really dangerous if you are getting addicted to it and it can make you to get into a lot of troubles.

Gambling is not for everybody, and you should know where to stop.

Exactly.
I have been saying this for a long time but the endless cycle of losing streaks will continue if the individual does not know WHEN TO STOP. The number one problem with gambling is that, people have this mindset that gambling would answer all of their financial needs and problems. Due to that HOPE that they are clinging, they tend to gamble more despite on a losing-streak. This creates an endless cycle of exhaustion of money due to the lack of discipline and false hope. Gambling is not only dangerous, but also contagious to the public especially when one gets addicted to it.

That is why you should always set a limit to your gambling. If you don't then you lose the chance of preventing losses from occurring. The problem in the gambling world is that most gamblers don't do this. A lot of gamblers would gamble as much money as they can deposit into the casino, and that ends up with the gambler just losing excessive and unnecessarily large amount of money. I would say these kind of gamblers are already addicted and should wake up from their delusions.

You need to realize first and foremost that every single bet you make in gambling comes down purely to mathematics.

There is no such thing as "blind luck" or whatever you want to call it. Every bet, no matter what comes down to math.

Now, when you lose many bets ina  row all that it means is your luck is either evening out because you wona  lot before, or your luck is going to get better because you were on a bad streak.

Every single bet is a random roll of some numbers - that the values are randomly obtained can be proven and this is the basis of the provably fair system. It is true that none of the bets are modified by the site and that all the rolls are "fair" and the casino cannot cheat the players.

Having along red streak is nothing new. People tend to get excited when they win some small amounts and decide to go autopilot on that method. In the end though it ends up as a red streak.
Anyone who is not even ready to get frustrated in gambling is not ready to gamble at all and they get frustrated because they expect too much from it which as far as I am concerned is like expecting something that can never happen which is winning more than losing because it will always be the other way round. Not to burst the bubbles of those who loves gambling, but this is simply the truth.

I know that every one of us had this day when we all thought that it's our day but it's not. I myself honestly say that there are still times that I lose control of everything when this happens, I tend to get frustrated immediately (especially when it comes to poker) when I know that I have a losing card. It makes my day from bad to worst. How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?

Though before I've reached a point in where I'll be having a thought of chasing my loses, I'll leave the table and look for a dessert or sometimes when I bring my car, there's a clothing that I can rip just to let my frustrations out. (It may sound absurd but it really works for me, after that my mind is clear, no frustrations then I'll go back and finish my visit)
Well it's hard to play clearly if you put too much emotion into the game. Try to avoid this by don't taking gambling serious.
I personally only play online. Whenever i recognized a long winning streak, i lower my bets and never martingale or so. I wait for the losing streak to occur and only lose my base bets. It doesn't work 100%, but helped me several times to withstand a horrible losing streak.
Becoming too much emotional than required shows that you are afraid and weak. I think showing your emotion in game would be a key point for your opponent from which he will get control on the game by playing simple tricks and due to your emotional thoughts, you would be unable to pick up the trick he has played and this will lead to your loss of the game. So, I think it would be better not to play game if you are emotional.

To tackle this problem I use self-control, which is essential. If you're having a bad day at gambling then honestly just stop your dealings for that day. Just practice some games by yourself and hope for good luck.
Easy to say but would really be hard to be done since not all gamblers do have the same level of self-control of yours. Some would able to handle such thing some wont able to avoid or cant really able to control while they are playing.Instead of being awared on such losing situation they do rather plan or decide to continue further because of such addiction or just really serious on chasing loses.

It's a normal reaction when you have continuous loss especially in gambling. It can happen to life but unlike gambling, you are the one who are making your frustration and get it worst so stop gambling instead.

True that people often dont understand which way the roller coaster ride is going and tend to rage the next bet. They try to win back losses and thus more losses accumulate trying the win back the last loss and thus it is a vicious cycle.

They need to realize at times the amount of loss in time and money that happened due to this gambling habit and mend their ways. No one is to blame when they get frustrated but themselves.
The cycle is so real in front of you , gambling is the most risky way to make money , it is even considered the wrong way.
Gambling won't make you have a good day for sure , all you get there is a nightmare.
You win some but lost more than what you have got and at some point the losing streaks always there , just be ready.

It's normal to get frustrated in gambling and we have different way to let that frustration out, for me I just go out with my friends and drink alcohol so I can easily let go of my loses, sometimes we can really make a stupid decision but everything has already done and we cannot turn things back anymore so what we have to do is just accept and move on because there still a lot of time to gamble, just don't chase.
Those who get frustrated in gambling are the ones who think they can just keep winning, because that is one thing that can never happen. The best like you said, is to prepare one's mind and when it gets to the time that the online casino platform is ready to take on one, then it is better to accept one's fate and either move on or know that you have totally dashed that out for a game you played. otherwise, such a person will not just get frustrated but will even feel like dying when those long streaks start doing their thing.
Not only the people who think about winning every time in gambling but also people who keep on winning in gambling also get frustrated in gambling because there’s nothing new in gambling and it is in the nature of mankind from the start that he’s always searching for something new and gets bored of the same thing every time.

I think everyone is well aware of this fact and when such people lose even a single game, they quit gambling because they are in profit.

Well, I think the only people who keep on winning in gambling on dice sites are the site owners themselves. Though I don't really know how profits can ever make your life boring. With money you can buy almost anything, and if you get bored of something money is the last thing which it could be. I'd rather say you may sooner get dissatisfied with the amount of dough your casino brings in but that would be a totally different matter.

Losing streak is very common in gambling, but no matter how you prepare you heart, it is still suck to lose in a row, and sometimes I believe that I was being cheated, usually after I reached my peak point I stop and take a cold shower to cool down myself

Yeah, I certainly know that feeling. Somehow, you don't remember winning streaks, and I wonder if they really happen, at least to me, But I remember losing like 20 times in a row on 50/50 rolls using martingale when I started with just 1 satoshi and ended up losing 0.3 BTC. That was a disaster, never used martingale again. The only consolation I can find now is that Bitcoin wasn't that pricey back in the day. My luck just walked out on me in a most conspicuous manner.

Or maybe they really cheated.
Losing 20 games in a row would be very painful thing for you and I don’t think so that you would be having a good sleep for a week or so after losing the match. I think that this is your mistake that you lost 20 games in a row because it was up to you to play the next game but you continued thinking that you would recover back your loss and due to martingale, you faced more loss than you would have expected.
That's really going to make a mark on you knowing that you have lost that so many consecutive times and it would really leave bad things. It's that kind of games where you would just want to stop playing until the next time you play again, you really need to rest. I agree when you are using a martingale, you need to have multiplied balance to have the losses go away.

Many players have big desires and expectations out of the gambling rooms. They are thinking they will get rich overnight and their financial problems will fade away instantly. Greed is one of the factors that is pushing the gambler forward forbidding to him that the backing off into safeness. Another factor is the fear of the empty hands at the end of the gambling sessions. These two factors are pushing the gamblers forward even if that drives them towards their final loss and doom. Many gamblers had come into the state of the addiction with the trying to recover their lost money that the losing streaks have caused. Solution to this problem is a strong will and the limited bankroll which when spend should not be touched again in the session you play.

Losing streaks is something that almost any gambler has encountered or will encounter during his gambling career , it's that period where your luck runs out or the charm doesn't work anymore , or whatever they call it . Some people tend to change the casino , the game or even the strategy used in order to break the sequence , other even blame 3rd parties for their losses such as the internet , the card distributor or even their dog for barking when they were placing the bet XD !
Whenever this occurs to me i prefer stopping to gamble for a week or so , in order to start fresh and clear all bad thoughts from my mind .

Will thats's your own  habit,why you didnt control your own temper and always put up in your mind thats this is only a part of the games sometimes you won or sometimes you lose.frustation in losing streak strikes is mostly we always encounter if you are  a gambler because your mind thinking in advance that this is your lucky day and you could win,but the outcome  is you lose the game,thats why you return into frustation,maybe im not expert about this because your enemy here is your self but my only advice that control yourself everything as possible.

To tackle this problem I use self-control, which is essential. If you're having a bad day at gambling then honestly just stop your dealings for that day. Just practice some games by yourself and hope for good luck.
