How moody are you when losing?

I always hum a happy tune whilst remembering that I'm buying entertainment whatever the outcome.

If that's aimed at me i meant that the fact that near enough a decade ago i accidentally put my foot through a machine made me realise that it's me that loses money and not the machine hence not that hypocritical really.

Never really been an issue for me, I've always been even tempered, even in my more testosterone fuelled days.
I think being a teacher has helped for the last 15 years, you train yourself not to let your fuse get too short in the face of challenges.
Now poker, I could quite easily put my fist through the lappy most days of the week.

Done nearly £1k in a £500 Joker Poker on Saturday. Never batted an eyelid nor hit machine once. Swore many times as it fucked me over on a 3 on £60 on numerous occasions.

Just gotta take the hit and move on. More annoyed with myself for allowing involvement in a nightmare waiting to happen. Oh and I think I spat at a jiggy bank about a month ago.

I'm the talk to myself for being such a prick than a violent smash the machine/break buttons.

Service stations are great to do swede in tho, you can shout and scream as much as you like. Its a shame the non welcome break ones now shut at 11 tho. Had so many laughs into the wee hours with battles on 70% reds and extremes!!

As the BFK said tho we once smeared ice cream all over a £5 JTRNR that the most disgraceful program I have ever seen. Did not I repeat did NOT give holds only roll in boards!!! Needless to say, we took a bit of a beating on that one.

Have to say i'm on the cool as a cucumber side. Can't be bothered getting all stressed, normally just laugh to myself if its a load of shit loss when you'd normally win.

hmm, reading this and thinking back a bit, i think i may be a bit bipolar :) i' taken big losses in the £££'s and done no more than just say a few four letter words quietly to myself, to having to restrain myself from punching people for loosing a tenner :o ops:
my new anger management is chucking the rest of my drink on/down the side of the machine. i no its childish, but it clears the red mist nicely :D

I'm a little bit random. I can take big hits on the chin and walk out morose and other days I can start getting all humpfy as TAXI takes ages to go to the square I want.

Usually cool, but I do get irate at times.
