It's understandable. Losing money on a game you were excited about is a major bummer.  Makes sense to feel crappy.  Gambling should be a fun activity, but the tension can gnaw at you too and  it goes with the territory. 

Still, if you're always tense or bummed post-losing spree, may wanna rethink your betting habits.  When it stops being fun and starts messing with your head step back.  Take five, go do something you dig that has nada to do with gambling.

Both are fun depending on how you decide to go with the betting on the game, if all you bet is as little as a dollar what could go wrong if you lose? Today many people still use 0.25 dollars to gamble and that's something that won't do any shit to them if they lose the game.

I like the idea of accepting that the money is no more yours before you even place the bet, this gives you the sense of total control on your bankroll, having this type of mind will make you believe that risking what you can afford to lose is the best way with gambling.

Its only you that have the power to make that game a fun one before the game even begin, like I love telling fellow gamblers to always have their mind on the money they are going to lose rather than thinking about how much they are about to make, you all should think more about the negative side of gambling ( losing ) than winning, because this is always likely the scenario.

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

It's not gambling when you are not losing, losing is very much associated with gambling that is why it is called gambling, you can either lose or win it is 50/50 but if we're talking about online gambling platforms, the house has an edge so there's a big probability of losing than winning.
If you cannot cope with losing and you can only accept winning then gambling is not for you, it's a wrong mindset to gamble with the idea of making money, your focus should be on entertainment, and winning money is just a bonus for playing.

If you feel that you are having a hard time accepting your losses, then it is time to stop gambling, gambling should not be the cause of depression, once it snowballs you will suffer from a lot of health problems like headaches, heart palpitation among other things, it's better to stop when it's harming you.

Personally, I tend to bet with money that I can afford to lose, so when I lose a bet I won't feel that much disappointment, but when I bet, I don't watch the whole match only occasionally to make for posts, I don't have enough time to watch. In fact, watching matches while betting is a pleasure for those who like it, but the risk is that if the club you are betting on loses, you tend to get carried away by emotions. I bet not only on 1 match but also on other matches so I don't have time to watch all the matches I bet on. I only look at the final result in the hope of winning but if not I don't feel annoyed or emotional because of the money I spent betting not too big.

It's natural for you to feel disappointed when your bet loses because you've lost the money and you hope your bet can win but in reality it doesn't meet your expectations. This is what sports betting uses skill and doesn't always get a definite profit, my advice if you have difficulty Control your emotions when watching while betting. It's better to avoid betting and watch your favorite match so you don't have to experience double disappointment.

That’s probably because you gambled more money than you can afford to lose or maybe you are gambling for money and not for fun. When you gamble for fun i believe you will not feel stressed when losing a bet even if you are watching the game as it goes on.

No one wants to lose in any game so the reason for being stressed out is natural, i think it’s imbedded in all humans to feel disappointed when things are not going our way especially when something is at stake. When watching a live game you gambled on and things are not going as predicted i also get furious and that’s the more reason I don’t watch matches I gamble on and it’s the more reason i stick to gambling for fun and only staking an amount I believe i can afford to lose.

Yeah its disappointing when we lose but somehow we enjoy once we are winning that's why its split thought regarding on this topic.
But somehow we can enjoy watching when theirs a bet since we could think about different type of methods we use then with that our focus is on the game and with that for sure we can enjoy gambling with using our bets.

But also we could enjoy watching especially if we are spectating on exciting rounds made by our favorite streamer or friends since every risky action we do is giving us a suspense feeling even if we are not betting since the atmosphere or the vibes can caught us up by each result shown since we are following that session which we enjoy to spectate.

I understand you very well. I also feel stressful when I watch an event when I have placed a bet on it. And I know that very well little greedy guy inside me (and in everyone) that triggers me to place a bet. So to shut his mouth, I suggest to place a minimum bet on an a ridiculous event. For example if you watch football, place a bet on number of free kicks or corners. That is really hard to predict and fun to count, as with minimum bet you dont lose anything significant, yet still gamble.

Or just change your attitude to gambling. You watch the game because you have placed a bet. But you must watch the game, and make betting like an addition. Like popcorn and drink when you go to cinema. It isnt obligatory, but you still buy it, even though the price is x5 than regular popcorn and drink would cost.

Losing a bet becomes stressful only if you lose consecutively. The feeling of being stressed was caused by the disappointment you have every after the game of your bet and you end up losing your every bet. The fun that you're looking for in gambling only happens when you win or if you enjoy every sport you bet even if you lose because you are truly a fan of sports. You must know as a gambler that not every bet is a win, we do betting to have more thrill on the sports we bet, and our expectation will increase to the highest level that we will get more hooked up. Disappointment will always be part of sports betting and any other games, and there's nothing we can do about that.

For me, I don't want to watch a match where I have bet because it gives me a mixed emotions and possibly I can't concentrate on watching. It's better for me to watch a normal game without my own bet so that I can watch and comment freely without thinking how's my money. sometime It's kinda disappointed if I didn't place a bet especially if my instincts about the winning team is right but yeah, that's how gambling works.

It's more exciting to watch a game with a bet, our emotions swing as the game goes on, because the outcome of the game will determine whether we lose or win.
Especially if we bet a large amount. It's very tense. LOL I strongly advise not to bet on the amount of money that makes you fall poor when losing it.
I can remember a match that the winner won with 2 goals. In the first half, a goal was scored by the away team. There were many people watching the match and I was among them. A man was seen unhappy. Although we should not be happy because the away team was winning our country's team, but at least you can still see the energy in us. This man was helpless. At the second half, the away team scored the second goal and the man fainted. What caused it? He gambled the match with huge amount of money. If we are going to watch a match or not, we should avoid using too much amount to gamble. You are able to watch the match enjoyably because you used little amount of money to place bet on the match.

Gambling should be fun when you are rich. But if you are someone who is trying to make money through gambling, then it’s obvious that you will be stressed. Rich people gamble for recreational purpose, hence when they place bet, they don’t have any fear of losing the money. On the other hand, a middle class man places a bet in order to make some extra bucks. He is risking his hard earned money for it, so how come he will be calm while the match’s outcome going against him?

I prefer to watch the game with bet instead of watch without a bet because I mostly bet on a game where I'm interested to watch. But if there are many games I bet and there are two or more games happen at the same time, I can only watch one game and only watch the highlight on the another games.

I only feel disappointed when the team or player I bet not play like their last match, but if they have show a good fight, even I lose my bet, I can accept that.

Disappointments and anger would really be just that normal since we are really just that humans on which emotions would really be felt out on the time that we are losing bets. It would really be just that normal to have this kind of emotion or feeling since we dont really like for our bets to have that losing situation on which it is really that considered to be part of the thrill.Yes,its not enjoyable or something entertaining but if you are really that making bets just for the thrill then you should really accept out this kind of scenario or situation on the time that you would really be getting involved with betting on sports on which this what really adds on the fun. Play for the thrill and cant really be avoided that we would really be that aiming for win because we know that we could also make some profit or wins too.

How you would really be able to get rid? This is via longer experience with betting on which you would really be that to make yourself that emotionally stable or something
that you would really be tough already on the possible situations that you might be able to face on. You wont really be that ending up on being too impulsive because
you are already getting used to it.

Of course, it's stressful when watching the game and we end up losing our bet. Like a game that is close and that it can go either way. Unfortunately, there as some small mistakes by your team causing you to lose that one.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

Just accept the fact that you have lost your bet already and that there's nothing that you can do about it. Maybe learn a thing or two, and then look at how you analyzed the game. Maybe you might have missed something along the way and then just put this as a learning experience.

Every game has its excitement, either football or UFC or racing games, and to get the full excitement package while be a gambler you only need to risk what you can afford to lose, think over head, that if the game goes out of your favour will you like losing the money? Gamblers don't always think about the aftermath, they are always so stuck in the present.

If the amount you risk is very low you will comfortably enjoy the game and what happens after won't matter, but if you risk a lot of money, while the game is ongoing you will feel the panic inside and react to any situation in the game, rest will only occur after the game ends and you win.

Watching a game you bet on would just give you an unnecessary pressure, especially if th game is going the opposite direction of your prediction. It's likely to cause you an immediate behavioral change when watching the game. Although whenever I play a game I'd always go to check on the scores much frequently but I wouldn't just glue my eye to the screen or the game because it gives me some sort of discomfort and I don't like that. Although there are people who really prefer to watch their game, so they can see every detail and maybe know when to start praying just Incase their game is going the contrary direction lol.

OP, I can understand that feeling, especially during bets where I am under pressure from money and the desire to win. With gambling perhaps the appeal makes people blind to decisions and believe in a chance of making money.

But still honestly, if you want to get out of that situation, manage your assets before playing, considering that money will definitely be lost and you have nothing to regret. I don't believe too much in life-changing opportunities based on gambling, because luck is inherently fair, if it's not good enough, don't expect much luck.

Such is usually cause by an inability to accept loosing ones bets probably that you don't find fun in your gambling other than basically considering the excitements in your winnings and the sadness at your losts.
You are being anxious about your games but most considering moments of loosing as unbearable states of time to withstand the fact of loosing.
It happens most times of repeatedly failure so you literally ain't fit anymore to accepting further losses.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?
Oh yeah... It happens to me sometimes most especially at a wrapping (finishing) points of the game While it is not going interesting and no hope of my winning.
Then I feels like leaning on someone behind to just tell me how it ended instead of having my eyes and attentions on the board. Sometimes too I would take slow back steps like I am walking away with the believe that I have lost but yet I am expecting the least seconds before the end game to make an exciting different then I could step up again with a cheers of yeah..... I made it.

I usually remain indifferent to the events I have played. For sure, a victory can made my day but you can always have a positive day when the main objective is to "have fun" while betting and not trying to "earn money".

I don't think "having fun" from "gambling" are two separable factors.
Practically, in one way or another they are always linked to each other.
