Topic: What's Your Feeling After You Finish Gambling. - page 5. (Read 846 times)

Indeed, there is no definite answer to this because the feelings will vary depending on our situation. We must be happy because we have won. If we lose, we will be sad, disappointed, and frustrated. And when we lose, we will be curious and try to continue gambling, perhaps on the same day or another day. There will be a desire to return to gambling at another time, which might trigger a desire to recover from those losses. But some people don't think about the results because they don't expect much from gambling and just want to gamble.

In such a situation, everyone will definitely feel happy if their bet wins and conversely, if they lose, they will definitely feel regret and emotion. This is the instinct of everyone who gambles because everyone goal is definitely to make a profit. If they experience a loss, they will definitely regret more and try to catch up on these losses, I'm sure every gamblers must feel the same as the feeling that each individual has every time they enter the world of gambling.

To be honest, I don't really understand the feeling I have, what is clear is that I feel happy when I win a bet, especially when I win a large amount, but when I lose I don't really feel regret because the money I spent wasn't much and didn't exceed my abilities so not so much of a burden and ready to accept defeated, maybe if I spend money beyond my limits, I will definitely feel that feeling of regret, but I can still control my spending because the risks of gambling is too big and will make us regret it in the ended.

It mostly depends on the outcome of my session and the percentage of my budget which I have either multiplied or lost to the casino. Last time I had a bad streak and wagered more money than I was willing to lose, I felt quite bad during a couple of days. When I end up having some minor earnings from the session tend I to feel rather normal, no big feelings on it.
I would only feel satisfied if I managed the get the levels of fun I expect to, which varies with the mood I have in that afternoon and the games I try.

Honestly, in my case, I would feel more satisfied more often If I managed to gambler together with someone else who also liked to gamble or bet, any activity is better when doing it in good company.

I don't think I can answer your question in the poll, because there is no simple answer.  Gambling makes people feel all kinds of ways - excited when you win, frustrated when you lose, disappointed if you don't win as much as you hoped, even guilty or ashamed about spending so much time and money.  If gambling leaves you with bad feelings afterwards don't ignore them - let yourself feel whatever comes up.

It is a mix emotions while playing in a gambling session, we can feel regret, satisfaction, and enjoyment.  The feeling of regret of not doubling the wager when we are at a lucky streak,  satisfied that I can play my favorite slot games during my free hours and the feeling of enjoyment lingers after the gambling session.  I never had regret when I gamble because I always use the free money and I already set my mind that the money is already lost, so when I lost the bankroll, I felt that it was normal since I already accepted the possibility of depleting the bankroll in every session. Of course, extra joy when I ended the session pocketing 5x of my bankroll or above.

The feelings of anyone after gambling is determined by their beliefs or the reason why they gambled. Let me explain it better. For people whose religion does not permit to gamble and they sneak to gamble and in the end, they lost , the will undoubtedly feel remorseful. But the irony of the matter is that if they eventually win, they will not be remorseful.

Another scenario is someone who has much expectations to win, they therefore gambled with the amount of money they cannot afford to lose. If they eventually lose, their feelings will be depressed. It could be that they borrowed such money for gambling.

Myself, I will say that I feel indifferent whether I win or lose. But for the sake of the poll I chooses satisfied because there's no option for feeling indifferent in the pool. Whatever I win or lose, there is no difference for me.

I am being honest to myself, and tried to vote on the poll but my option is not included and since it is not included I would like to add it in case no one has said it yet. I feel in control whenever I am done gambling. Why? This is because I did not exceed the budgets which I plan to use for gambling and I'm always satisfied with leaving the casino or betting place if I visit a physical casino or logging out of my online betting app if I choose to bet online. The feeling of being in control makes me feel powerful.

I will just put it simply this way:

- if I won = satisfied and enjoyed even how exhausted playing for several hours
- if I lose = disappointed but not depressed

Whenever I lose, I just sit down a bit and relax my mind. I will not touch gambling for at least a day but I will comeback the other day.

Then the process will just cycle over and over again.

Almost all the time, entertained.  If I'm not looking to have fun with gambling I just don't do it.  I don't enjoy losing money just to lose it.  But I don't mind it if it was used for entertainment purposes like playing a poker tournament.  I don't play purely for the money so I rarely ever feel remorse.

Well to say the truth, before this period I use to get really depressed especially when I have finished gambling and the results of the period goes against me, and no doubt the opposite is the case when the results of gambling favours me and believe everyone actually feels when they gamble and they get good results from the habit. Well I must say also this particular feeling differs for different gamblers and I know of my friend who never get hurt no matter the results of the gambling and it took me time and practice to actually perfect the act of always smiling to all results I got when gambling.

If we talk about the feeling after I lose, it will take several days before I can get back again on track, much especially if that said amount involved is really a considered good amount. Like for example, I win $300 as a profit, excluding my bankroll, but at the end lose it all, I will feel regrettable and dissapointed on that because that was already a clear money. Questions such as if only I cash it out will remain in my head for long.

But after several days, everything will be back again at normal. The dissapointment is still there but already manageable.

This depends on the results I get after finishing gambling, and everything can give me different feelings depending on the results. If I win, I will be satisfied and enjoy the moment of victory. But if I lose, I will feel gloomy and tired, but it won't last long because I know that defeat will come anytime after I finish gambling. I don't mind whatever the result is, and I don't think too much about it, but that feeling can't be faked because it comes after we know the result. And if we experience defeat more often at the end of the gambling game, maybe it is time for us to take time off from gambling for a while to recover all the negative feelings that come.

To depends on how the game went that moment, if its a win i will actually feel relief and relaxing with joys. And it can boost my confidence also,when the game end with  losses i will actually feel down and frustrated too, and my fear is that it will magnet more losses because i will be finding all means to win the losses back so i go into betting indifferent games without thinking. So all that matters how that particular game ends.

I'm not sure about this but I do have this recollecting feeling anytime I wager money on any game. When I stake or wager, even if the games aren't that feasible, I do have hope that it will come good in the end, even if the amount is small and other people have doubts, I am always with the light mindset that it will go as I predict but if I found out it is not as I expected, I feel a little vex, disappointed and I go through the outcome to see where I made mistake, if there is anything to be avoided next time, I do and move on and the result doesn't in anyway makes me feel bitter in the next one, could it be because I don't wager more than I can afford to lose.


Honestly, I think I have evolved through some stages of excitement anytime I gamble and win something tangible after the try and error and some mistakes here and there. At first, I do feel exited, I will share the win games with my friends to show how experts I'm in gambling but now, I don't even flinch when I win. All I do is try again and again and if it goes well, I withdraw all my balance until when I'm ready again to avoid any later stories of casinos.

Gambling is always unpredictable, sometimes you win but most of the time you lose, but behind this reality, I still find time to enjoy gambling because I never gamble for big profits but even small profits will do, what's important is I got to play on my favorite games and end up happy and satisfied. However, if you gamble merely to earn a living, I guess satisfaction won't actually meet more often. Because I believe, the moment you gamble you lose already, and it takes luck and skills for you to recover that initial loss and end up gambling in profits.

there's no doubt that in gambling we will experience a lot of emotions, most of the times, it is a mix of those mentioned by the OP. but if you are losing and the money you are using is just a loaned money, for sure, the emotion would be on the negative side. and you are in a rush to recover those losses, leading to possible more losses and loaned money. that's when a gambler can get addicted because he has other things in mind like chasing losses for him to pay for his debts. but it will just go on and on, up until he can't get out of the situation anymore.

but if you are playing using your spare funds and stopping once you got busted, i can say that for sure you have your blast in your games. because you are enjoying the game because you have no worries that someone is after you to collect your debts. i guess, that's a better feeling than chasing losses because somebody is calling you to get their money, right?

these days, as i am just playing on occasional basis, only if i have extra funds, i would say, i am only enjoying the games til it last. so for me, i can see the positive side of gambling because if you are not pressured to get the funds back, i believe, you will enjoy your gambling session. so long you know when to stop and quit for the day.

Just like you're describing the emotions when we gamble, it's like a roller coaster. And I have to be honest that I feel satisfied with those experiences, not because I don't know the feelings of tension/excitement from games, but it seems that being aware of how to play always makes me happy.
I'm quite lucky when it comes to gambling, my friends who often play cards together I see that they care about winning and losing, I simply think the game is more fun. If we like to make money we can discuss another area, so it can be said that with gambling there are many emotions that we use to see ourselves through it.

The truth is we can't lie to ourselves about the feeling when we experience a losing situation, even though you use the amount that you are able to account for from the beginning but still at least a sense of annoyance will always be there when the final result turns out to be really losing, a small disappointment always can't be missed. This is gambling which is nothing but about winning and losing and as you said even though we come with the goal just for fun but still a sense of disappointment will always be there, I think it is natural because we as humans have feelings. The idea of gambling for entertainment I think is nothing more than a statement that can make us a little avoid acting out of control, because when you don't take this activity too seriously then obviously the emotions that come out will not be too big.

So keep gambling as an activity to fill your empty time, don't put any expectations on the winnings, just think of the winnings that are there as a reward for your involvement in gambling, and it's better to be strict in the limits you have, after all that's what matters, you can minimize everything by controlling and limiting the amount of money you have but you can't make the winning percentage more likely, because after all this is just a game of probability that has no certainty.

I have the feeling of somewhat being sad most of the times but it is momentarily only,it doesn't last much.I usually play slot machines and when I finish a session I feel a bit sad,the level of sadness depends on the amount of bonus rounds I have won during my session and what I have achieved through it.Yesterday I played The Return of Green Knight with 30 dollars and I got 3 times the bonus,in all the bonuses I got one time 0.28 dollars,one time 0.35 dollars and one time 0.69 dollars.This means that I never won any real spin with any multiplier to it despite the game having x100 as a max multiplier.In this case to the feeling of sadness it was also added remorse as why I choose this game when the bonus rounds were so low.

Normally I don't gamble (except for testing some games for my client's platform).

But yeah once upon a time I wanted to have some fun. and made a little deposit. The plan was to double the money. But due to lack of luck what I was thinking about the game result was wrong after ending the game.  I felt like the dealer making the result to losing me

So after that day I was disappointed like why I went to play I should not do it. and it's not for me tbh.
