Topic: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! - page 19. (Read 3434 times)

Of course behavioral change is a normal thing in gambling because there is no way someone will lose a bet and be happy because there would always be this regret about going to the gambling on the first place, however the feeling I had one day when I place a bet and the games I played was going very well then remaining only one to qualify me of wining and 3 minutes to the end of the match the other team had to equalize and draw the match, you need to see how upset I was, because I was just imagining how much I would have won if the club had win. But however after that day I realized that is not really advisable betting a game and at the time watching the match because is likely going to affect your behavioral approach towards people at that moment.

That's because many people don't control themselves so when they are faced with something that doesn't suit their wishes, their emotions will immediately escalate and they will become angry easily. They may look for an outlet for their anger and may experience an argument with another person, which becomes a place to vent their anger. They really need to learn to control their emotions so that they don't harm themselves. And if it is brought to gambling, we will not know what will happen to him because it could make him lose control and in the end, he will become emotional and will deposit more to vent his anger. And lucky are those who can control their emotions well so they won't experience problems.

Do you know how easier to get angry when you lose? This is not always about betting your money, I know someone who always get into a bad mood when the football club he is supporting is losing a match or lose a match, and that's all for the love he has for the football club, now imagine the same person betting some money on such match?

That's why we need to be careful when we gamble, you are powerless when you are betting your money on a future event, anything is bound to happen, but how can you make sure that the pain won't be much if things aren't going your way? The solution is to use small amount of money only.

If you plan bet on a match with just $1 and you lose the game, what could happen to you? Your mood won't be ruined compare to losing $100 or $500, the smaller you risking on games the safer you will be, and also your behavior will still be normally intact.

Of course, for the problem of preparing many things such as some precautions for prevention, it is certain and mandatory to prepare, even though it is not uncommon for those who end up still violating it too. I'm not blaming the casino here but for sure I will only blame the gamblers who very boldly put too high expectations on gambling.

After all this is gambling that the final result is about losing and winning, and that means not only being ready to win but what must be more prepared is the acceptance of losing, that should be the first thing to pay attention to because it's just a matter of luck so that's why there are more losers than winners. So the main problem is in terms of expectations that are too high, plus it seems they don't really understand the gambling system that always runs randomly, quite strange I think. They are very happy when they win but cannot accept when they lose, from this alone we can conclude that this is what has a high probability of gamblers entering the addiction phase.

Of course, things are like that, I might think that when it comes to doing something better we have to put in our minds that things in casinos are win-lose, and if not, good luck, well the most likely thing will be a lose lose all the time, but we have to be mature in what we do, it is known that things are very simple in a casino, first of all in a casino when we go in to play, what we must do is basically understand that the things in A casino must be governed by its own rules, that is, have a balance willing to lose. If you do not have that control or you cannot do anything, we are people who will always be aware that the games in a casino will always be very relevant. So that our emotions are reflected in it, and thus the casinos obviously earn more money, it is necessary to always emphasize that a casino must make profits, because that is what their business is about, being something that can generate money for them through the players, taking advantage of the house advantage.

If a player enters a casino seeing that things are not going to be done as they should, thinking that he can win a lot of money, it is wrong, there are some who say that they can enter with $100 and they can take it to $1000 and that is something that is not It is completely correct, because to do it like this you can say that you have to be very lucky, few people when they enter the caisno achieve it, however it is something that I would not trust because they are difficult things, but nothing in a casino is given away, in this order of ideas we think that every time you enter the game, whatever, roulette, slots, you have to have a plan, so as not to lose your money completely in case you do it, you must assume that lost and not insist on what cannot be done, this is sometimes not so easy to digest , but if there is money that you are willing to lose there is no problem , because nothing in daily life will be out of balance.

It may seem dumb but it happens. A lot of people are quick tempered and are fast to react without actually thinking their actions throughly enough. Such people could get angry and in looking for an outlet for all that anger, they tend to hit and destroy objects around their reach.
It’s really pointless to get angry and do all of that but it’s just how some people are. And hey, better to take out your anger and frustrations on inanimate objects than humans right?

One thing we should know is that human behaviors are human behavior. A man does not change in attitude because he won a bet or lost a bet; that has always been the MAN attitude; and people around such fellow has just failed to notice such behaviors.

When things don't go your way, are you aggressive?
When your finances are struggling, are you aggressive?

It doesn't mean its gambling; gambling outcomes are just catalyst; its really in you

I believe that this is something normal for anyone, not only in gambling but also in other day-to-day activities....
If you've had a stressful day at work, you'll end up feeling "out of patience" when you get home. If your football team lost the championship, that feeling will probably be the same.
And the opposite will also happen if something good happens in your day.

However, people need to be able to separate things and not let one interfere with the other and this end up becoming a bigger problem. If you are stressed because you lost money gambling, a good tip is to go for a run, play a sport or go to the gym... let other hormones take care of releasing your frustration.

I think once gambling starts to effect your emotions and temperament then you have veered into the side of problem gambling. It's good that you had self awareness and caught these changes, because many people simply lose control and don't acknowledge the problem that they have created in the environment around them. Nobody likes losing, but it is a very common outcome from gambling and people can often react in negative ways when losing consistently. If you are gambling more than once or twice a week, it's also habit forming and habit reinforcing behavior, where you might have lost the original purpose or benefit that brought you into the game. Sometimes it's a good idea to take a long break - weeks or months - if you're starting to feel this way.

Gambling and behavioral changes is a normal thing that happens to us whether we are gamblers or not. This one of the chances that happens to us and it defines the true characters of us and what we are capable of doing in the future. There are gamblers that once they started making money, they will leave all their friends aside and look for new friends of the same category to deal with. It is good for us to make sure that we adjust the way we reason and associates with things so that we don't end up hurting ourselves.

As a gambler there are certain things that you were supposed to prepare your mind for. Certainly a gambler is supposed to prepare his mind that he cannot always win and that losing days will come. The secret is just not being to expectant, like I always say what causes these much disappointment is when a gambler has too much expectation. When you're fully prepared for the unexpected then trust me that no matter the outcome of your bet, it would have little or no effect on you.

Nobody is happy when he has lost heavily to gambling because you must have that regret in you and this must surely be emotional. There is one big factor that can control one when gambling which is our emotions. If you are allow your emotion to control you, you might end up making wring decisions and doing the wrong thing. This is why how to control our emotions matters a lot  because that is what makes one matured and will make you gamble responsible. Your kid wasn't the one that caused your loss, so please don't allow your emotions to make your treat him in the wrong way. Addiction is something bad and hard to control but if you are willingly to give it up, it is possible to achieve that.

It’s not uncommon for gamblers to have a switch in behavior from time to time based on the outcome of their bets.
This is relatively based on certain constraints to the bets. All of which amass from the stake and the level of clarity or dependency that one might have had on the bets.
Situations of a win is always associated with excitement and this isn’t always dependent on the amount involved but, there are levels to excitement that one might experience and it’s radiated to those within your immediate environment.
In cases of a lose; there you find constraints that might determine how angered you must be or just be cool. Most of those are as follows;

1. Minimal stakes: These always comes as you either trying to take chances or just playing for the fun of it and perhaps playing safe. In cases like this, there is nothing you can’t take based on the outcome of the bet and as such, your level to be upset is always minimal and might not be noticed by those within your space.

2. High risk stakes: when you go out of your way to put out some stakes, you establish some sort of dependency on them and in events that these bets don’t play out as predicted, your immediately impacted by the result. I’m cases like this, you might as well transfer the aggression to the people around you.

This is one reason why you have to define your purpose for gambling.

If the gambler had a good winnings,he will help the people around him with the money.If the gambler was in the loss,he will show his hate to all his friends and family members.Eventhough he mange himself by the words of next win possible in the gambling site.The loss is always the loss,whether the loss from the profit or loss from the used money doesn’t matter.The gambler should not share their pain or sad to their family members after the loss.He should not shows his anger to other because of the depression caused by the loss.If the gambler was professional in handling the stress,he can survive for the longer period.

Behavioural changes occurs in every individuals after win or loss situations and its natural like I saw individuals who tortured their families when they loss money in gambling. There are two reasons behind their behavioural changes one is that they cannot tolerate their Loss and another is that they tortured their families only  that they allow some amount again to them so they can bet easily once more.

Whenever gambler win they wants to give everything to his family but if they fail to win then they wants to snatch each and everything because at the time of their loss they cannot see other people in happy mood. I think this a very bad behavior and due to such behavior gambling is consider as a bad job in our society.

Transfer of aggression is common amongst humans, not just gamblers. Displaced anger can be caused from the childhood stage, how parents treat a child can leave such a bad emotional behavior in them, when they get to adulthood. Many people who transfer aggression, lose good relationships and end up becoming sad people. It's good Op has noticed his disorder, and seeks help, as most people won't figure it out. Gambling can be a catalyst that triggers displaced anger. Which disorder, affects the people they're ushering the anger to. The recipient won't understand why their friend or brother is harsh on them. Therefore it develops confusion in the recipient's brain, asking themselves too many questions, what could be wrong, how did I go wrong? Now that Op is aware of his emotional disorder, he needs some rest, to deal with stress. He may have invested too many hours in gambling and figuring out analyses and strategies that'll work.

People who destroy their devices like you mentioned, should be suffering from a different stage of displaced anger, they are getting too aggressive. And need adequate attention, before it gets out of control. They can easily hurt loved ones in the process. Taking them to a hospital or a psychologist would be a good idea. I normally say that gambling contributes a little to most of the problem people think is caused by gambling. Anxiety and heartbreak cause addiction to gambling. You see that emotionally stable gamblers rarely get addicted to gambling, as their losses don't affect their joy or happiness. If you are close to such a person, send them a letter to visit a psychotherapist. What actually, led them to lose much money in gambling is mainly the problem not gambling. People also have purchasing problems, they don't know why they bought a problem. It's also a sign of psychological problems. Which needs to be looked into, and solved immediately. As they blame it on gambling if they venture into gambling and begin to spend their money on slot games. 

Whether a gambler is addicted or not. Behavioral changes occur in such gamblers who expect something good from gambling. I also bet myself and when I win I am very nice to everyone but when I lose I try not to misbehave with anyone but keep quiet. My family members have identified that I feel anxious at times. The truth is almost always gambler's remorse. If anyone says he has no regrets, he must be lying. Everyone regrets less and more when they lose in gambling. But of course a gambler should focus on maintaining self-control whether winning or losing.

All of us might be the same, the only difference is that others can control themselves properly like even when they feel angry they are still able to control it, not to the point where you will scold your kid because of just a few small mistakes. I am the same with you. Sometimes I lose a lot but this is rare because I rarely play but mostly I easily lose my temper after the game so what I do is that before talking to other people I let myself cool down first.

I think the only thing that will make any person to be sad in gambling is when they gamble more than they can afford to lose, you shouldn't be sad over something that you can not control, if your check your errors and mistakes and is something that can be adjusted then that is the next thing that you need to reconsider and review if it worth been change, tweak or simply start a new strategy that will make you win.

The only thing I have notice in gambling when I win, I get over excited and I can't just hide it because the joy and overwelming profit is just difficult to hide and do share it with people and anytime I does this, my money get quickly finish because beg which is normal because when you win gambling money, people sees it as money to be eating and enjoyed. However, I observed that I don't share it again with people because it is annoying to see how the money quickly even when I know human nature with need and trying to be generous at the same time.

concerning the winning days, I just go out and buy one or two things in the store from the cashout and save the rest for the day, it was then I do feel too happy but now, it's like a normal thing and for the lost, I just brush it up and move on like nothing happen.

That is why we must always be able to put something in accordance with its portion, or that means if you are gambling then not at a time when you are gathering with family or especially with your children, it is really not recommended, emotions will not always be able to be blocked because it is spontaneous. This is really an action that is not recommended, go ahead if you want to gamble but on condition that you must be able to find the right time to do this activity.

So the point is if you want to engage in gambling activities, especially those based online, please go ahead as long as you have to know when the right time to do it is, don't let your children see your upset reaction as a result of a defeat that you cannot accept, self-control is good but not everyone can do it because as I said spontaneity is involved there so not everything can be planned.
