Yeah, that's correct, it's on us, ourselves. Even if you go to a doctor who specializes in this kind of problem, it will still be on you if you will change or not.

Being agitated when betting is normal because that's your own money that is on the line, if you cannot handle those kinds of things or emotions then it's better to just quit gambling so that you won't experience that feeling anymore. If it is stressing you out then maybe it's not for you and there are always other ways to be entertained that don't need the same amount of money that you are spending on gambling. Hobbies or sports will be a good choice.
When anxiety becomes something that causes us to be unable to accept defeat, then it can be said that we are not fully ready to gamble because we are still afraid of losing money and that is very dangerous because it allows us to do something we should not do. In gambling, we must be fully prepared to lose money, because if not, we will have problems and eventually we will chase victory or want to return the defeat which is actually not allowed in gambling.
You could notice it out but since your greed is on peak level then this is where you would really be that ignoring out that kind of feeling that you should stop. There are indeed those times that our sense telling that we are already losing that much but since that kind of urge is something that cant be controlled out then you will be definitely be trying out to do opposite instead of completely stopping. This is why it will really be that relevant that you do need up to have such control of your emotions or simply being calm because once you wont really be able to do it then that will be a devastative thing into your finances as you cant be able to control yourself with it and this is something that you should be watching out.
I think it is possible to stay calm during the game only when we have already had such a negative experience with losing, when we completely lost our temper. Having gone through this, many players do not learn anything and do it again, and again not having the opportunity to stop. I have been in gambling for more than 10 years and I have always been interested in developing in it, so what I have achieved is to remain calm in all situations, I do not even care about the bet as much as I am interested in understanding the mechanism of action on me. Although I have lost a lot, but I have moved on to another stage, I am glad that nothing can make me angry for several years and I am sure that this will not happen. This is due to the fact that I have experienced all sorts of situations, including the worst and biggest losses, nothing will surprise me, this is the reason for my complete calm.
