How about you what's your position?
The only way that can help me manage bad emotions is when I gamble with little amount of money that I don't care about if I win or lose. I have try to put that into practice so that I can enjoy a healthy gambling lifestyle. I hate it when I cannot control my emotions based on my losses from gambling so I aviod it.
Since I use little amount of money to gamble, even if I win my bet, it wouldn't show in me because it's a little amount that my win will be. Gambling for fun is the safest way to be in control of your emotions and limit your losses.
