One thing that you can do in stories is, if he's swearing for the right reason (like his luck is completely against him) and not just casting profanity about in his speech like seeds in a garden, you can make it so that he lets out a scream of rage, like "GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or some such.
