Of course there is always a behavioral effects at everyone gamblers if it is not proven in a displacement then it is one of the facial expressions.
There is always joy in the heart that sometimes not easy enough to hold within and must just have to express it out even til across your endings as long you still holdings your winning. There is said to be tendencies of cheerful giveaway out of excessive excitement but sometimes it depends how much won at when considering if there had been previous lost or not.
But If it was a lost, then everyone becomes a bridge to your progress and then, there is really no called of tolerating and joking around because you are feeling depressed and losts in your gambling. You just have to get pissed on everyone who fails to understand your state of being and wouldn't care if anyone knows about your emotions.
However, there is always that transagression of anger at when lost and that sharing of excitements at when won.
Dependently on the gamblers ability to control its emotions.

I love your strategy because I do the same. I don't bet high to avoid the pain of losing too, somehow it helps to move on the next day.
Just like today, I made a bet for the Golden State Warriors and they are playing badly. Yes, what will happen is you will get mad at the team, the referees but not with their opponent, and when you add the recipe of a bet, the anger is much worse.
My reaction to the mistakes they have made today is way far from just watching the game without a bet so yes, there will be mood swings but I always try to control myself and avoid throwing bad words while my kids are near me.
One sports bet can definitely swing our emotions, especially in crucial parts of it where the game is close and your spreads might not hit. But we have to be careful when kids are around because they might hear bad things that they would mimic later on. It's the worst thing that could happen to a parent.

Gamble knowing the dangers, yet are surprised when the outcome isn't our way. Your narrative nails it. One goal away from victory, fate intervenes. From nearly a winner to just another loser is sudden. It shows how gambling is more about managing hope and expectation than the game itself. Aren't we investing on a dream, not just a team? The big win dream, ecstasy, and what-ifs. Reality hits, often hard. We're moths drawn to the flame despite knowing this. Why? It could be the adrenaline high. Watching the game you bet fuels the fire. This enhances the experience, for better or worse. Your discovery about not watching the game is intriguing. It's a defensive strategy to avoid emotional turmoil. Does it reduce the excitement and suspense of gambling? Perhaps it adds some sanity to a maddeningly unpredictable sport. Choosing how to play the game seems to be the actual gamble

If it's for the love of the game and the team that he's supporting, it's actually easier to get angry with that. While I do believe that anger with gambling loses is different from it.

If I try to stitch them, it seems that there's no difference at all. You become angry because your money loses and the same goes for the team you love and probably able to bet as well.

So, that's gonna be a double kill for you. What you have to do is to try to calm yourself whenever you feel that anger and behavior change because it's gonna give you lots of wrinkles.  

Sometimes I prefer to stake high but it has to be when the chances of loosing is really slim. For instance, in Sports betting, I can just pick just 1 or 2 games that I'm at least 80% to 90% sure that it'll turn out well and then follow up the game with a high stake. But even with my head held up with positive expectations, I still won't be ignorant of he fact that the game could go sideways and I can loose my money, so no matter how high I stake, it'll still be something I can afford to loose, just in case it doesn't go as planned.

So should Incase such a game goes bazaar, I must've been prepared for it, and that way it doesn't have to affect my behavior towards others.

Once you engage yourself in gambling, always note to yourself that you will experiencing winnings and losses because that's how gambling runs, It's not all about winnings so you don't have to regret doing it. If you experiencing losses, much better to learn from it and try to improve your gambling skills if you already have yours.

I think that should not be called regret, you'll only regret if you find what you are doing is wrong and you don't want to do it again. This is gambling, it's expected that we will experience losing and winning, so we have to accept our losses, what we should do is to learn from our mistakes and improve our strategy so we will have more winnings than losses, which is a formula of a profitable gambling.

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.
