Have you experienced tilt over the long game?  How have you dealt with it?  How do you think you can gamble with a cool head, and how do you make yourself a good brake inside)   And why do people in general like to gamble?   I never thought I would enjoy gambling) I remember playing cards for change with my cousin as a child, it was very funny when she lost, fell on the table and shouted that it was all mine)

Your emotions are really the most dangerous thing when it's comes to gambling, anyone who cant control their emotions when gambling will likely lose alot of funds and i would advice such person to just avoid any serious gambling because the moment you get involve and you put your money into it, it will be like a glue especially when your first try was a loss that spirit of wanting to get back all your money start playing in your head and the moment it starts, it like a one way journey of no return and this only results to one thing more losses.

This is what greed looks like

This reminds me of one time I was trying to gamble to double my money so I can get a Samsung A series phone. Because I already went in my head feeling anxious and jittery because I wanted to win by all means possible. But life had other plans for me to teach me a valuable lesson on seeing gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a money doubling scheme. In fact, I think tilt in gambling is a precursor for chasing losses. They go hand in hand . Anyways long story short, I lost the money, couldn't get the phone but I learned a good lesson. Only stupid people get frustrated with a game they have absolutely no control over.

I really have problems with my emotions, mostly at work, but luckily I was able to control myself when it came to gambling because I do walk away when I get frustrated in a game, and I won't be playing if I'm angry because I lose a lot and I won't attract luck, which was the opposite when I was at work. Controlling emotions is the key to not losing a lot in gambling because, for sure, if you are angry, you'll lose more.

Of course I'm getting tilted knowing that I waste time because I lose and also lose my money along with it. I actually practiced myself to be cool headed as I am already lost I don't want to add another problem if I can't control my anger, also if I am not really in the mood and my instinct really wanted to play but I know that I'll just lose because I won't control my emotion and probably bet all my money. I do the alternative of playing with not real money and actually it works for me as I forgot that I am not using real money whenever I am losing.

Tilting in gambling is a very common thing but the mental frustration and emotional confusion displayed varies amongst gamblers. Gambling with a cool head first starts with a gambler defining why the choose to gamble and what kind of benefit the choose to gain from gambling. If the gamble is for fun it will be more easier to keep a cool head. But if the money is the principal motive then aggressiveness is inevitable which will certainly result in more losses..

It's not enough to breathe in and out, you have to walk in the park for three hours in the fresh air I think that's better

[...]I give myself a 10 - 15mins water break.

I'd say "tilting" when you lose motivation, laying back, and only playing for the sake of emptying your balance is quite common, especially in slots, since you don't need to think when playing. It doesn't affect anything since it's purely luck-based games anyway, contrary to skill-involving games in which tilting can affect your performance. But still, this situation isn't good for gaming in general when the fun is a crucial part of the activity. So, when I lose the fun feeling while playing, it's an alarm to stop/pause and then resume after different activities. But even though we know the theory or the ideal way of playing, it's still extremely hard to stay discipline.

Yeah it's just a proof if you're not able to control yourself, when we're gamble we need to think realistic and not aiming to make money, if we're only gamble to make more money, we will not satisfied in the end since we're high likely will lost. It doesn't mean if we not think to make money, we will make money through gambling, it's wrong. We're just want to kill our boredom and enjoy our gambling activity, profit is just a bonus.

I already broke some computers in the past due to getting irritated, most of the time I got irritated because when I bet the game was already in perfect condition, the odds were good but the internet disconnected or else it was the computer itself that started slow down, and after everything was fine (fast internet or the computer was fast) and when the game already had a lot of goals and it was no longer possible to place a bet, I got very irritated with that and sometimes crashed the computer, It was back in the days when I used to make live sports bets, for example I chose games where the odd was @2.55 then I went to the live game, I watched until the team scored a goal and with that the odd was already at @1.40 at @1.70 it was already a good time to bet

so I only had a few minutes to be quick and bet because the odds would drop to @1.30 to @1.35 and as the winning team would put a lot of pressure on the opponent and the time was less than 10 minutes for the game to end soon. closed and no one else could place bets, but always at that moment my internet would start to drop or would be slow or then the computer would be slow that I would get very irritated and crash the computer, after a while I stopped placing live bets because I started to notice that I couldn't keep having that kind of stress every week

We like to win, if the result is opposite we tilt whether it be gambling or anything else. To avoid it, it's good to just leave the desk for a while and go for a walk or get engaged in hobby of your choice, it will help your head calm down and come back to business again.
