Negative emotions after a gambling loss.

The term "on tilt" refers to a state of emotional frustration or agitation that can affect a gambler's decision-making during gameplay. When a player is on tilt, they may make irrational or impulsive bets, often in an attempt to recover losses or due to anger over previous hands or losses. This state can lead to poor judgment and increased risk-taking, ultimately resulting in further losses. The concept is commonly associated with poker but can apply to various forms of gambling. Managing emotions and maintaining a calm mindset is crucial for successful gambling.
