Today I encountered again my biggest nemesis on gambling which is being stuck on my gambling progress. I’ve gambling for multiple days in a row with just having a breakeven on my total bankroll. This due to the game doesn’t gave me any long winning streak and only just more losses. The only thing that makes me keep up on the breakeven side is the increased on wager to recover my losses but my gambling result is literally 1 win to 3 or more losses ratio. This is how bad my overall game.

The only good news is this time I remember how this weakness of mine always makes me lose in the past so I stop already gambling and take a break. This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.

Have a break and just gamble newt week or month because a lucky game will make you win easily and not with a very hard to win winning condition.

The OP's statement is very appropriate with "don't force to play more", of course as you experienced. If indeed the gambling that you are doing cannot give you a win or an increase then it is better to start to stop, you have been gambling for several days and even with that long time it turns out that the results are still even, nothing more and no improvement and all that exists is that you continue to lose and then when you try again several times to restore the defeat in the previous time. Honestly, it's very boring and I'm sure anyone who experiences such conditions will feel tired.

Basically, it is true that gambling is only for entertainment, and if you come to win then you will face this cycle, for example, like the OP's experience here, you will only exchange one win for 5 losses or even more than that if you continue to play. True, it is actually not difficult to get a win if you are lucky, and it certainly won't take long to get it. So if you experience a cycle or condition like this you better stop, because if you continue it will only add to your financial problems. So the point is not to be greedy and stick to a healthy mindset in looking at this gambling.

When you are at the break-even point and try to increase the bet instead of trying to recover the loss, believe it will never happen, it can be said that it will rarely recover especially if you expect to play continuously. If you feel that the game is no longer aligned then stop because it is useless to increase as well as the ratio of losing will be more.

Once when allocating $75 for a game I felt a feeling that the day would be good, but in reality it was not like that continuous defeat could be said (won twice but lost more than 4 times). At that point, I started to feel insecure because I was unlucky and it was better to take a long break for 1 month.

That period of time has been experienced, a long break has also been done because too much money has been spent because it is too curious about increasing bets in the hope of recovering losses.

Now I'm more scheduled and usually bet once a week.

The best discovery is for one to limits himself or herself after much consideration and calculation to note that he is not making progress than to continuously gambling, if we can be able to control our emotion and greed then it's possible that whenever you gambled and there are no winning for the weekend or for months then the best alternative is to distance oneself for at least another months to have a new fresh mind and thinking to be able to reason well and to have great ideas of how one can be able to position himself to become more productive to win in the next game.

I also often make mistakes like that, but I'm more obsessed when I see better betting opportunities. and that made me up the ante.
because I bet more often in football betting, I see a greater chance of one of the teams winning. and coincidentally the Odds offer was also good, and that made me increase the nominal bet I made.
Even when the odds are very good, in gambling luck is still the main factor after trying to analyze.

My habit is to make a bet and leave it for the next day. If I get a profit then I will continue with other bets. Maybe this is different if experienced by gamblers in one of the games at the casino which of course will be very fun when they are too focused on the game.

Well, that's just what you're doing, father, and at least at that point, you know how to use your sensitivity in the right way if you have to stop first. And in fairness, it seems that you also bet big when you play suga when you lose just to get back your loss immediately.

And I also believe in the courage you have when you bet a large amount. But the best thing about you is when you still lose your big bet and you take a break and then come back next week to make up for it, which is a good move, I guess.

1 win and 3 losses is a bad result bro, if I were you, maybe I would also be stressed and feel very annoyed with this result. But I agree with what you said that taking a break from a losing streak is the best decision. Because in that position, our body will be stressed and of course our emotions will be unstable. Conditions like this will certainly affect our minds and bodies which will affect the results of our gambling and make the situation worse.

Looking at the nature of gambling itself, there are some things we also need to always out in consideration each time we are gambling, the risk involved, we shouldn't be gambling base on a retaliation protocols to make recovery of some of the losses we have made already, because at the cause of doing so we may be loosing the more, and it's ot in the amount or rate at which we increase our wager that draws us closer to making winnings each time we are gambling.


That's true, it happens in most cases that the harder you're striving for winning the lesser your chances for winning, that is why some gamblers can adopt a stop loss method to deal with theirselves while trying to reduce the rate of loosing more.

Op is completely right, this is somehow exactly the same thing I am currently going through on L0tt0.com, in the previous week, I think last week or last upper week actually, I was playing on this casino and was winning very easily, I started with $10 and soon, I grew that to above $50, I withdraw $30, and a little above $20 was left on my account, I kept gambling and winning but eventually made a mistake that made me lose the entire amount.

And last week, the owner of the casino gifted me $10 on the casino and I continued gambling, but i noticed that the luck that was on my side last upper week was no longer there, I continued to lose no matter how much I try to win, at a point, I decided to just leave the game alone and have some relaxation on my own , I returned the next day, I played a few round and discovered I was still unlucky, I left again. Yesterday, i decided to play the game until my balance turns zero, but luckily for me, just when my balance remained about $1, I won a little above $5, I was kind of amazed .

So yeah, it is not good or advisable to force oneself to continue playing a game when it obvious luck is not on your side, stepping away and coming back later to try again sometimes actually does the magic.

I can relate to that, I had a worse experience losing the coin I am staking in one casino I'm making $5 daily from those stake coins but that profit drastically dropped because I lost 70% of the coin I'm staking, I stopped three weeks because of the depression if I have gone further and try to recover my losses I could lose everything.

It's important to analyze your bankroll and your activity for you to make a good decision, a break from time to time will save you a lot of and will keep you fresh and motivated and with the right mindset when you come back.

Or if you can try to have a break even if you're winning you will feel good and save money, a two or three days break will do wonders for your mental health and keep you from addiction.

Well, that is a strategy, but personally I prefer to use the budget I allocated to that gambling session until it vanishes. Maybe the lucky bet is on the final of the budget, and even if it isn't, I'm not in a bad situation, since I planned using that sum of money for gambling, anyway, and I can recover it later through my work, without any further prejudice to my financial life.

There is no problem in stopping when you feel it's not going to be your lucky day, but I also keep in mind the finish line must be closer than we expect in some cases, and to give up when you are just one step behind is really painful.

Many people chase their losses when gambling rather than resting because it will not make them calm as gamblers are always haunted by emotional feelings because of defeat and make them depressed with those feelings, even though if only they knew that continuing the game would not recover from previous losses. which you will actually make your losses bigger. There are many examples out there that we may have seen around us too. The point is, don't force yourself to play for too long.

I'm sure that resting won't make the situation even more chaotic, there's still time tomorrow to play, to gamble you have to know when to play and when to stop so minimizing losses when gambling is very important, I'm one of those people who likes to gamble on weekends so I spend weekdays working and also with my family, but on weekends I usually spend just a few hours gambling. Everything must be limited by budget and time so that everything can be controlled properly.  ;)

For someone with money to roll, taking a break is next to impossible. But it always depends on his decision-making.
Having control can be difficult for someone who has some funds to chase the losses. Up until he has no funds left, that's when he can finally think straight.  

Breakeven after several days of trying to make a profit seems frustrating. I have my share of frustration when all you win today are also taken back the next day. Changing strategy can be the reason for the loss.  

We all know that but sometimes things don't go as planned. Everyone knows that it's better to stop gambling when you are losing more.
But many people are not able to control themselves and keep on gambling until they lose it all. So self control is very necessary here.
As you say, one should not push himself in order recover the losses because that will only cause more losses.

I agree with the advice you give. Stop gambling and rest. It seems that you have forced yourself to gamble to look tired but still want to continue gambling. Be careful, mate. It looks like you are starting to get addicted to gambling. Taking a break while being careful will be useful for you and don't forget to do other things so you don't think about gambling.

When playing gambling, we are in control of ourselves. Don't force yourself if you feel tired of the gambling game. It will only give bad results and make your emotions rise. Maybe you are still lucky to be at the break even point so there is nothing to lose. But if you are experiencing a lot of losses, you might still have to think about it while you rest.

It will make you want to immediately return to gambling even though you still want to rest. It's okay to rest for a few days or months. You also still have plenty of time to gamble again. The important thing is that you can calm yourself down first.

Facts! It takes a lot of courage and self control for man with healthy bankroll to step away in gambling without getting anything after a full pack action of gambling. I find it hard to do in my experience because I deposited money that is already good for lose in exchange for profit on gambling. It will be easier for me to leave at lose than take a break after literally get nothing.

I think it’s a mature thinking what OP did since it’s his experience that teach him to come up with this self defense to avoid potential losses that happened to him in the past. But honestly, it will be very hard for me to do it in actual.

I have done it and the results have made me a little healthier from bad habits. The first week of October, I made a deposit to play on a gambling site that I often play using fiat currency, it was fun but I didn't win on the first try. I thought I would be lucky in several slot games at PG Soft and Pragmatic, but the results were not lucky enough even though the balance had increased several times from the deposit amount.

Sometimes we just see our pay as something that doesn't have no end, it won't get finished so we have to make use of it on and on. That's where the bad habit starts, before you even start gambling make out a plan on how to spend and when to stop.
When you see that your losing rate is higher than your winning rate I think you just have to hit the Break take the remaining cash you have left and leave because no matter how hard you try you can't get it right, I mean your winning percentage that you have in mind.


That voice or whatever weakness you call it in your head telling you to stop, I hope it can hold you down when you don't want to listen, like tie you down or probably chain you down not to make a move to the casino or that gambling house.
Is really not easy because you see it as your life and you have every control so you make a move to wherever you like. Some people don't care if they're losing, all they know is they can recover even with their last cash which is wrong. Best advise given to a gambler these days is not valid any more.

Congratulations on breaking even, I guess.
If I were you, I would have not even tried to chase those loses and try to break even, because of the risk it implies and the fear I would have to make things worse than they were.

Though, even you are giving some important piece of advice to others, your thread has a little bit of contradiction: You did something which you knew could end badly to you, It did not. But still come here and say others not to do what you did.
The way I see it, this thread could rather encourage someone to try to chase their loss, keeping in mind you managed to successfully get your money back.

Let us be careful with the message with are trying to give to others.  ;)

Listen, your words' frustration is heard and felt deeply. Gambling should never cause constant misery and halted growth! Your encounter with this "nemesis" presents a troubling, but all-too-common, gaming picture. This cycle of win, lose, lose, lose is maddening and easy to fall into. If your shoe kept blistering, wouldnt you consider it ill-fitting?

Stopping and taking a break is wise! So many keep betting, getting further into the morass. What if your techniques have a hidden pattern or problem that undermines your play? Exploring your approach may reveal unexpected dangers or covert sabotage tactics you hadnt seen.

Sometimes, If I can break even on some same type-game in the next few weeks.

I tried to try other game, all you need not just push keep playing but tried to taking a break if you get a worst section on some-type game. Like, for the next 2-3 weeks still get the same worst section on (Slot) try to other game maybe (live-games) with BJ/Baccarat or other game.

Tested your luck-section on other game.

I somewhat agree with the first half of your advice because taking breaks is one way to reset your session and it can help you consistently avoid making bad decisions if you're one of those emotional gamblers. You lost me at the other half because your luck could continue the way it was after your break and could last for more than a single session.

I used to do this as well, but instead of changing from one game to another, I would switch casinos every week because I thought opening a new account would mean resetting my luck.

This is true, but there are also circumstances which make it either harder or easier. If you're just gambling online at the comforts of your home, it is easy to leave and be back a day or two after. But if you've travelled to gamble in a casino, for example, and you still have money left, it's hard to do it. At most, what you can do is pause for a while, eat snacks, loiter around, or whatever just to cut your losing streak. Well, you can go home but it's probably a much harder decision to make.

This is also my experience when I gamble in a cockfight arena. I pay for the entrance, sometimes including the VIP entrance, so whenever I'm on a losing streak and I still have money left, it's hard to just call it a day. The most that I can do oftentimes is take a break and let that stroke of misfortune pass by.

Gambling sometimes makes us crazy if we can't play it well, especially as you experienced, chasing losses to be able to restore the original situation, this is not possible because as far as I know, if we chase losses more and more, we will experience more losses so it will most likely be difficult to chase these losses.

and you are lucky if you still remember your weaknesses in gambling and you can accept defeat and immediately stop without thinking, if you don't stop immediately you might become addicted. I agree with what you said "don't hesitate to stop!" because the more you doubt, the harder it is to stop because gambling addicts start because they keep thinking about being able to win in pursuit of their losses, even though those who are addicted will experience a lot of losses.

Yes, it's best if you don't gamble every day, limiting it to once a week or once a month won't be a problem because the most important thing is that we can enjoy gambling without worsening our financial condition.

You are lucky that you can still remember your weaknesses in the past so that you can stop gambling and take a break. Yes, that is the best thing you can do to stop a study that is not giving you good results. And I agree that if we have been gambling for a while, we must immediately stop gambling so we don't think about trying to win. When you play for too long, you might think about recovering previous losses and still want to win even though you already had a previous win, even though it wasn't much.

By resting, you can calm yourself from gambling which might occupy your attention. And it is true that when playing gambling, we don't need to force ourselves to keep playing, especially if we feel bored or fed up. It can trigger us to place bigger bets than before. And by resting, you can do other things that might be useful for you.

I like your sentence "don't force yourself to play again". Yes, the experience you are telling about is to provide motivation for gamblers who are still not aware of the addiction they are experiencing, by providing encouragement or advice to just stop or stop for a moment if the gambler has started to become addicted and experiences continuous losses. Yes, that's right, activities that we are forced to do and are no longer comfortable doing should be stopped immediately because if we force them, the results will be messy or not according to our own wishes. Including gambling, if we are in doubt and uncomfortable we should stop so as not to endanger ourselves.

Trust me, My mistake in the past cause me a lot of pain and series of questioning to my life decision before I become more mature in gambling. Cooling down is the best way to reset everything since you will have a better perspective.

I use my bad experience as triggered to control myself when I’m already getting carried away to my gambling experience since even now I sometimes bet in impulse whenever the situation is getting rough on my side. Good thing now is I’m already controlling my bankroll amount and I have limit on bet size per game that makes me able to control and still think straight on heated gambling.

We do not often talk about the mental stress that comes with gambling and it is even double when you gamble everyday. I take breaks from gambling and it is fine and I recommend it to all my friends who are also gamblers. And it does not matter whether you are betting $10 or $20 everyday take a break. More gambling during a losing streak will not make you win. When you rest from gambling for a day or two or more you return totally refresh and with better clarity.

Great advise but it's very difficult for gamblers not to push for more. I mean, if you are in a losing streak, our judgement are really clouded, that's why we are out of control and the next thing we know, we have lost everything but still insists that we should go and play and recoup that losses.

So it's not just a weakness of you, but I think everyone has underwent this kind of experiences and it's really hard to snap back from the reality and get control of our emotions. Even if we skip and exit that day with losses, we will think that tomorrow we will comeback again and maybe we can win for more. Which I think is very wrong as we might take a small break in between.

         -   At least you are aware that your current course of action is risky and unwise if you stick with it. The good thing is that you stopped when you did because you realized that you might lose a lot more if you kept going.

In order to help others remember, I appreciate you sharing your story in this forum. However, if you don't win, your loss will be greater and it will be harder for you to recover; therefore, in such a case, you really need to take a break. You may have the guts to increase your bet in an effort to recoup your loss. .

This is really good to hear that you managed to stop yourself from gambling and will want to have a break when you feel that luck is not in your favor. Many people know this but they are unable to do it practically, keep on playing and lose more.

I would like to know what is your gambling experience once you return to gambling. Did the bad streak end and did you start to win after a break? It would be nice if you updated on this thread when you resume and the results of wins or loses of your few games played when you resume gambling.

It can further motivated others , to follow you, when they know the results which you share later.

Yes, that record is bad indeed, hopefully you are not using martingale system to recover your losses.


Right, it's better to reset our gambling habit. For me, after a big lose or even a good win, I usually take a week break from gambling. After a lose, then I will take the time to think about it and most likely says to myself that I need to stop. If I'm winning, then I take the chance to buy something from those profit before going to play again in a week. The best part is that you won't fall in kind of addiction like chasing your losses and greed taking over and wanting to more money after a great win and try to play again the next day.

"Don't chase your loss". that is what you are trying to convey and it has been already told a million times but we won't learn the lesson until we get hit on the bankroll unexpectedly.

Luck based games are totally unpredictable, even you can make up for 100 lost bets in one or two big multipliers but as I said its unpredictable so we never know whether we will be able to achieve it or just go with the loss completely. So keep it simple, gamble until you exhaust the money that you want to spend, and stop once you reach your limit.

I think you made the right decision, if you are not comfortable with your gambling, stop first, take a break. If you continue to gamble, your gambling money will only run out because you are not in the right mindset, that's what will happen.

Others find it difficult to stop their gambling even though they have already lost, others are already in debt. Because they are too addicted to gambling.

If i am in loss, i have a rule that i won't chase for breakeven, because that could make things way worse. It's not a break because i am losing, but a full stop because i used my budget. And i only come back after new planned budget is available. Just having a budget limit and accepting loss take you far. They won't bring your money back but they will limit you destroying rest of your bankroll.

And i never bend my rules you set for myself while i am not playing, rules need to be simple to follow, and i need to trust your decisions that were made when i was not zoned out and gambling.

Playing games on lotto.com is not something that a greedy person should do. Do you why? You will wager and play more than you anticipated. You'll be focused on trying to make up for your losses. The more you make an effort to make up for your losses, the more you lose.

I've found that if you are continuously losing to lotto.com, you should take a vacation from it for a few days and then try again. Before you stop, don't try to make up your losses; doing so will only cause you to lose more.

to play lotto.com games successfully. One should learn how to stop when they are losing, even when they are winning also

Taking a break is needed for most of the gamblers who can't stop and only see that type of ratio as you've got OP. Sometimes we're too pushy to ourselves thinking that all of those losses can be taken back in less than a day. You can call it quits when it seems not moving at all and you're just having a bad day looking at your stats. And having a breakeven moment still seems to be not working at all because the satisfaction isn't there. What you want to happen is to do more and win more but you can't just do that because the results vary.

Or whenever you are ready and think that you can handle the heat as that's giving you the decision-making in a better manner. Unlike before when you don't stop, don't take a rest or break, that's giving you more pressure instead of lighter thinking about whether to proceed or not. Sometimes all it takes is to have a rest for your mind, body, and soul when it seems the results are no longer in line with the plans that you want to have.

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time in your gambling sessions.  It is normal to have more ration on losses than winnings.  I think what matters here is planning your session days ahead, and allocate funds for each session so no matter what the result of your gambling activities is, it is still in the boundaries of not affecting your mental and financial state.

I agree that it is a good thing to pause for a while if we a feeling frustrated due to losses, since keeping up with the gambling activities will only trigger us to be reckless and somehow be in state of revengeful gambling betting where we bet bigger amount to recover our funds. It is a good thing if we win but will be devastating if we lose.

Put up into your mind that gambling wasnt really that created for the sole purpose on making profit or money but rather it is really just that for entertainment but its not really that shocking anymore that majority of gamblers would really be having that kind of mindset on the time that they would play on which this is really that something a normal driving force for them to play even more and its not something that new anymore considering that majority of gamblers would really be pushing themselves to play more. If you are that someone who does have  that good control towards their gambling activity then it wont really be that much of an issue for you to completely stop on what you are doing specially if you have notice that you are not already enjoying anymore and the most is that you arent that making profits or you are seeing that great disadvantage.

There are really moments in my gambling moments or time on which i have noticed that im not really that moving forward and the results or outcome turns out to be the same and keeps repeating on the same
time on which it would really be making some thoughts that what if you should be calling it a day or simply stop midway and turn your back on what you are doing.
This is actually that does depend on a certain individual yet not all would really be having those kind of sensible actions that do made up right away but instead they would be waiting for those outcome
first before they would completely stop.

Taking a break is also emotional and that is why must addicts don't take a break. The reason is that they feel that moment they took a break and don't play, they feel they would make profit or hit their jackpot at that time and so it is be herculean for them to decide to do that. But there is benefit in taking a break because it gives you a rejuvenated version, strength and ideas from the corrections of your mistakes. Your mindset also changes which can improve on your gambling strategy and knowledge.

However, the facts say otherwise that most people who get involved in gambling, after getting a win, they always want to get a win that is bigger than what they previously got. This is what makes a person feel at home in gambling because they continue to chase wins and profits.

And here is a piece of the story about an incident that happened to a friend of mine in the world of gambling, where for the first time he made a fairly large deposit which, if converted into USD, was around 300 dollars and after that he played slot gambling for hours. and ended in a loss and the balance he had on the gambling site ran out without any remainder. However, because his curiosity continued to envelop him, he made another deposit, but the amount was smaller than before, namely 50 US Dollars, and in the second game, he almost managed to fully recover the losses he experienced previously because he got a win because he won a relatively large amount, namely 280 US Dollars, but because curiosity continued to surround him and he thought that luck was on his side, he finally decided to continue the game so that he could return the capital he previously spent in full and get more profits. And at the end of the story it seems that good luck was not on his side as he had to lose everything including the victory he got.

I would not say never. Just the probability of doing so is very very low and that it is better, at that point of your gambling experience, to stop betting and take your losses as they are. I personally never go into a bet without first taking a look at my daily betting limit (which I hold myself to very strictly). If my daily betting limit is reached then no more betting, no matter what happens.

I really recommend setting a daily bet limit for yourself. One that you cannot change once you agree upon it!

Without greed, it’s easy to limit your exposure in gambling and just take a break when it’s really needed. When you are seeing that your losses have outnumbered your profits, and it’s a big pressure on your part to stay at profits, then probably the best thing to do is to take a break from gambling, and just come back again when you feel better about your losses. However, a gambler with high greed can never easily leave gambling just like that. If it means losing a lot more just to realize that gambling is not fit for him, then so be it just to save him for future huge losses.

A very normal human behavior or instinct on which you would really be pursuing more on the time that you do see those kind of  chances for you to make more money or profit on the time that you would deciding to play even more on which we know that it is really that something a very normal approach. People would usually stop on the time that they would really be experiencing unfortunate events or something into those situations that they would really be on unfortunate condition on which its not really that something new anymore. Gamblers do usually ending up like this and if you arent really that good on controlling yourself then most likely you would really be ending up with this kind of situation on which you would really be that devastated with gambling.

Pushing yourself desperately wouldnt really be doing good anything for you on which it would really be that just right that you should be having the right control towards your
gambling activity and the money that you are spending because if not then you wont really be that so dumb on not to know on what are the probable
things that could happen in the end of the line.

Exactly. When you are gambling and you are experiencing results like that, then it’s time to think wisely if you want to continue gambling or just take a break. But for me, it’s the best decision to stop for a bit so you can be relieved from the emotional stress that resulted from pushing more in gambling. Otherwise, if you keep on chasing your losses, you will be mentally and emotionally broken that will lead you to ruin your future with gambling.

This is a big psychological trick that casinos and bookmakers try to push to the max. Take a look at any casino for example and you'll find each game has a separate "side" jackpot or game going on, which allows you to earn independent powerups that are only applicable to that particular game. The idea being, they can keep teasing more money out of you as you chase the "powerup bar" until it unlocks the side game. That side game is meaningless if you've spent way over the odds to achieve it and they can unlock 80% of it while costing you huge amounts to reach the other 20% needed. If you ever find yourself being sucked into this sort of chasing, then you should take a break and re-evaluate your style of play.

Last week I had a similar experience, which made me open a topic about it and see others opinion about a feature that could turn things back ( bad surely it’s not possible). I was trying to understand the reasons behind the changes in my favorite slot game. While I used to experience both wins and losses in typical gambling that we all know how it is. I recently found myself on an a vey bad losing streak. What's import to remember always is that gambling and casino mechanisms involves more chances of losing than winning. So the best option to cut your losses is to take a break and avoid emotionally chasing those losses because doing so will only make things worse or probably lead to dumb decisions that can't be undone.

I prefer to stick with one main casino so I can activate the self exclusion option when I feel like I'm gambling too much and don’t run to another casino. Taking a break for a month or so can help regain control and make me explore other activities for enjoyment until things back to normal.

It does looks like most of the gamblers has a reacted the other way around instead of taking a break. With such a losing streak, we are most probably going to be upset of that outcome, thus causing you to become desperate and frustrated that instead of taking a break you will continue gambling not only to chase that losses, but also to make yourself feeling better when you are able to win those money back. Eventually, most of the gamblers will end up empty pocket and that leaves them no choice but to call it a day lol.
It may sound easy for us to say that we need to take a break after a losing streak, but it is actually not for a person who is upset and frustrated lol.

If you are already experiencing a long losing streak, then for me it’s best to take a break from your gambling habit. Because when you decide to change games or change casinos, you are not freeing yourself from another losses but instead, you are attracting more losses in the process the fact that you still spend time to gamble. Know that you won’t limit your losses in gambling unless you decide to stop from gambling even for a while. For me, that is actually good for you to rest and unwind yourself so you can gamble again with a more positive and fresh mindset on gambling.

Been there, tried all the ways I can think of to actually prevent a break even cause it's a little frustrating especially if you've invested long hours on your gambling session only to end up with a pretty much back to square one bankroll, but I found that the only solution to this problem is actually not playing at all. When you play you subject yourself to even more chances for losses which is more likely to happen than you actually getting the chance to win more so you can remove that breakeven.

I suggest you look into gambling for entertainment as well. When you're gambling for fun, these trivial things won't matter to you anymore cause at the end of the day what you're after is getting the most enjoyment out of your gamblnig experience.

As a gambler you should know when to take a break, that's what makes you a professional gambler. gambling is all about risk-taking it is something you should do for leisure, something you do when you're free. it is not something you should be doing on a stretch like almost every day. Gambling is addictive, so you need to wash yourself if you are not going past the red lines, because it can mess with your mental health, so always check and balance yourself.

One thing that I'm learnt about gambling is never to chase my losses, if not I'll be inflicting more pains on myself. Whenever I'm on a losing streak, I learn to accept it in good fate because some days are not meant to be mine. I'll stop gambling for the moment or for the day, switch of my laptop and go for a walk, hang out with friends and clear your head. But if I try to chase my losses at that current state, I'll only end up causing more harm to myself than good and there's no way I'll be able to recover the lost funds.

The psychological factor says that the gambler will target the next big win after the small win made by the gambler.If the gambler had won 100 dollars from the gambling,the next target to the gambler will be the 500 dollars.So if that success,he will target the 1k dollars from the gambling.At the end the gambler consider the gambling as the earning tool in the regular basis.Not the 300 dollar as the first win to the gambler,even if he had won the 50 dollars from the gambling.This is the enough one for the gambler to target the high again and again till he get satisfied with the win from the gambling.The gambler mostly satisfy if the winning money above 5-6k dollars.

As a gambler, we should expects losses and profits to hits us because it's not easy to grab excellent chances, when found one opportunity, we should make sure we utilized it very well. Some days, we smile and enjoyed gambling activities because we have earned enormous amounts, while some days, we tend to wear sad faces and becomes more frustrated if we continue to place wager on games. Talking about clearing our head, I personally heads up to play video games and probably take a walk to recreational centers which serves as my favorite outing

Many of the times we become too engrossed in the game that we try too hard and bet or gamble more than necessary because of perhaps frustration or in a bid to replicate a winning streak.
I wouldn't blame anyone who has come to this point, becti too have been there and dine that and have learned my lessons from having an empty wallet in the end.
What I often do to combat this is to set a maximum tryout after I notice a winning streak or after I noticed it isn't my lucky day.

Setting a daily or weekly bet limit is always recommended. If you lose them all, then never consider to bet more and spend more so you can recover your losses. A loss will stay a loss in gambling and you will continue to lose more if you never decide to take a break from betting. That is why if you are in the break-even position, do not push through with gambling. It’s always safe to stay at break while you are on the point of gaining your confidence again so you can refresh your gambling experience.

If you’re enjoying yourself and you have the time there isn’t much of a downside in playing more so long as you aren’t losing money that makes a difference to you. If that’s the case, you could always bet lower amounts so that you can still get the enjoyment of playing without feeling like you did something wrong if you lose a lot.

In gambling satisfaction is not guaranteed. If we are to follow your advice it's very true. At some point, he won 280 usd. Is it not a trick to keep him? because if he didn't win such amount, his fun will be pruned. With that win he spent more time gambling, until he lost all. After wagering about 350 usd, he got 280usd in return, he's not profiting. Hence, he needs to profit, and it looks as if it'll be possible, with such win. And if he didn't win such an amount he may not have gambled more. The house rewarded him more time, by giving him a win. Even the house gamble with the wins. Although, almost impossible that the gambler will leave after winning that amount. It's like a friction that pushes the player to continue staking more of the money. But, if he had left, the casino will be on a short of 280 usd and the player short of 70usd there about. Which is a fair play. Considering the fun from the game, the gambler shouldn't be sad for not winning. It's also important to watch out for the house, as gamblers. Because they need money to settle bills. Therefore, a player have to be prepared before gambling money. Or he'll be pinned to play all his funds chasing losses. When a person is not winning, they'll need to re strategize. The purpose of it is that, losing continuously makes the game bored. As a game that doesn't require much knowledge to play, they should be a moment when the player wins. If the player keeps losing then the casino, is a hard to win casino. Despite the notion on casinos getting back the whole money, like in the above example. Still, players are meant to be entertained with those time intervaled wins. So that they'll feel lucky and happy, and come back to play more. To some players, any money wagered into gambling will be exhausted, depending on their personal reasons. While others find way of making extra profits, that can be used to gamble next time. Thereby using their profits to fund gambling, and saving up their other business income. It could be detrimental to the person's financial growth, spending money meant for their enterprise on gambling. Big winners, should always channel the money into good use. They can be used to gamble, while saving up our other sources.

You have done the right thing by remembering your bad experiences so that you can control yourself well and stop gambling. Indeed, we have to be able to rest first after playing gambling for a while so that we can keep control of ourselves and not gamble too much. Cooling down is the best way to reset everything so we don't encounter more serious problems.

I'm glad to see that you already have limits on gambling so that later, you can immediately stop gambling before things get worse. I think you can also take time off for the next few days to further help you calm down after experiencing things in gambling. You have done what you have to do when playing gambling

After all, gaming is gambling. Furthermore, there are winners and losers in every game. Congratulations to your friend who won 280 USD. However, he didn't leave, did he? That is his fault and not the casino's. Casinos are companies, and like all businesses, their goal is to turn a profit. Their purpose is not to distribute free money. Gains are intended to keep you interested and engaged. It's a tactic, and it functions

You've got to be smart. It is imperative to have a plan if you intend to bet. Knowing when to give up is essential. The thrill and excitement are more important than the money. However, you must be intelligent. You must have everything ready. It's important to keep in mind that the home always has the advantage. Invariably. Thus, have fun and relish the moment, but always, always play properly. Furthermore, you should never, ever try to recover your losses. That's how they get you. That's how they win

This is the most simple tactic that a person can use in order to limit the amount of money they can lose when gambling, but surprisingly it is rarely used as many gamblers like to feel the adrenaline of betting without any sort of limit in place, and having such a safety net in place goes against their desires, but this is a dangerous way to gamble as a gambler only needs to lose their control once in order to accumulate losses which are too high for them.

Absolutely true. When the outcomes are no longer in our favor, and we start feeling stressed, it's wise to take a break and assess the mistakes we've made. Our ultimate goal is to win, and we can't rush it. Gambling sites aren't going anywhere; we can always return to them later. What's crucial is that we are fully prepared, both mentally and emotionally. Lastly, we need to take measures to prevent addiction because that can lead to a disastrous situation. It's a serious disease that's difficult to cure.

that is a smart one mate, this will never lead you to lose more and continuously ,
there are many ways to prevent being a loser but that mostly cannot bring you enjoyable moment.
so having a specific amount limit to spend is much better than controlling just yourself.
because the more we losses is the more eager we wanted to come and play.
why not bring only the amount you can lose and after then best to go home.
but also we must put a winning limit so when this is attain we can also stand the table and go home
that is  a perfect way to gamble.

As many others already stated gambling should stay as fun way of trying to make money. If you are hurting your health over long term gambling obviously you should be able to pause yourself. Pretty sure honest casinos would also prefer healthy customers because that's how they also make more customers. If you keep losing and hurting your wallet, its also good to pause to drink water, eat good food, take a good sleep and return back to gambling after with clear mind.

Taking a short break is indeed the best advice for someone who is starting to feel stressed after playing gambling for a while and not getting any wins at all. Instead of experiencing more losses, they should be able to stop, rest, and reduce the tension they get from gambling.

We also still have plenty of time to gamble another day and there is no need to rush to continue playing because that could trigger our emotions to rise again. When that happens, maybe we won't be able to control ourselves and cause us to experience more losses.
We must monitor what happens to us so that it is not too late to deal with it and we can still think clearly. But if we only follow our passions, we will experience more loss.

You were lucky that even after gambling for multiple days, you were still at a breakeven point even though you said you didn't get any good winning streaks. If I was gambling for multiple days and still couldn't win or lose much, I would obviously just take a break, I do that even if I haven't played for a full day but just because I have already sensed that my luck isn't working because if it was, I would have already gotten something on top, so even if I have lost some money, I will stop right there.

Forcing yourself to gamble more should never be an option because that will simply just make you lose in the long run and it wouldn't do any good. A gambler might think that they might hit a big win anytime soon but that isn't necessary and if you haven't been hitting that for so long, what's the guarantee that you will after that point?

That is the enemy of most gamblers so you are not alone.When you start gambling and you are in the beginning stages of it you have enough bankroll to not care much but as you progress your session you realize that this is a losing session,no game seems to be paying and it is exactly here where it is not difficult but extremely difficult to quit and call it a day.This is a massive error most of us make and it is exactly here that when we continue to keep playing under these circumstances chances are high that we will lose it all and risk to deposit more to lose it too chasing our loses.Stop at such point,it is vital.

Feeling excited on each result shown is somehow can make us decide to extend our game time that's why sometimes its hard to quit especially if we enjoy to much playing on those games we currently played. That's why sometimes its hard for us to take some win after the end of the game since we always caught up on heavy losses for deciding to stay long on gambling and its late for us to realize that we did a wrong decision since instead we win the casino got recover all of it then left of nothing. That's why maybe next time before deciding to extend or deposit for more we should think about if its still right for us to continue since sometimes we are doing some risky decision because we want to win more or recover those we lose on certain times, that's why I realize that its better to think smart and quit when we are still in good shape since its stressful to quit when we already lose everything.

The point is to limit your budget so we have an alarm to stop gambling, if we don't limit it, it's the same as making us lose even more, but if you think about it, why do you have to win, isn't gambling actually supposed to be enjoyed, well, even though the goal of winning is always fun, it has The goal of winning is not something that should be pursued because it will continue to make us obsessed with continuing to play to get it.

Never be obsessed with winning, enjoying gambling games is the most correct way with a healthy mindset where you should gamble just for entertainment, think of winning as a bonus that we can get when playing and losing, let's just say that we pay for every game we play. makes us feel happy, just enjoy the game and limit all budgets so we can be more relaxed about when to gamble and when to stop gambling. Don't force yourself to keep playing, there is still time tomorrow to play again and that is the right choice when your budget has run out.  ;)

Many gamblers fail to do that because their minds are always focused on how to continue playing and believe that soon it will produce better results when in reality the opposite is true.
That's why it would be better not only to set our budget for gambling but also the time we can spend gambling so that any results when the budget and time set have been met will immediately stop and return to playing at another time.
However, sometimes gamblers find it very difficult to control their curiosity and that is what causes them to continue playing even though their hearts and minds have told them to stop because they see the results that are not so good that day, and will only stop when the money in the casino account runs out, I often experience this.

Limit, limit, limit - a mantra, right? Keeping a budget is crucial whether gambling or enjoying any leisure. Setting that alert to cry "Stop!" when things get too exciting at the tables or slots is great wisdom. However, this minor pseudo-problem intrigues me: what happens when the joy of the game overshadows budgeting and strategic pauses?

You're right; winning should be the cherry on top, not the whole dessert. Keeping gambling light, pleasant, and casual makes unexpected wins delightful bonuses rather than dire needs. Suppose you lose; consider it a fun ride ticket. That simple, clean approach becomes a shield and a strong method to keep gambling in the enjoyment zone and not a sticky web where you're continually chasing that spectacular win.

It does become emotional sometimes we do not accept defeat even though we have spent a lot of money above the budget limit set, the soul of emotion is sometimes still difficult to eliminate but we are more strict about the grip on gambling where when the bankroll is exhausted will close the account and not open again until the bankroll is available.

Setting a betting limit is very important, if not then something like this will happen, just be disciplined and do what has become a limit with the budget and know that gambling with emotion will be even more so by increasing the bet it will lose more.

That is the first.... Now it is even stricter in terms of budget.

There is no need to feel bad, in gambling it is always normal to lose, the game is made for that, when you play in the casino the normal thing is that you can apply many strategies and that you can play when you have a positive attitude, that is, not have a lot of pressure, don't have a lot of stress, don't have many things that you can get stressed about when playing, it is always good to play with a clear head, with everything under control where you don't feel any pressure, don't get Think about what you have lost, do simple game sessions, for example 3 sessions, if you lose all 3 it doesn't matter, go another day, if you win 2 out of 3 then also, don't think too much about what you lose, just allocate whatever you are destined to lose, because that is basically what our mind plays badly with us, it is better to be completely relaxed, not to think about whether you will win, or lose, whatever has to happen, it is better this way, when others propose to us that We have to make a daily goal, that is enough to cause stress, and that is not good.

When a person puts luck into play, then you have to accept whatever is given, then based on this you can only obtain the results that are, now my advice is, if you do three sessions it is fine, but if you do a session and at once you have a profit because it is better to leave it there, even if the profit is small, because the important thing is that you have your balance in favor, it does not matter that you have to go the next day, it is the only way to make it more profitable , that's what I have discovered, I have not seen any other type of strategy that can give results, generally when the person wins they must go the next day or another day, now if there are 3 gaming sessions, if the first two are lost, no It matters because if you recover something with the 3rd one, then that's fine, but as I say, if you lose the 3rd ones, then you don't have to feel like, it leaves the next day, you may have better luck, and that's the only thing that matters.

I tend to see more impossibilities in pushing hard to stake more when them previous games haven't yield anything reasonable... Why? I believe there's a major deterioration in your level of thinking when you become anxious ( when you stake heavily and lose)... So it'll definitely turn out badly when you tryna push hard..
I've seen a situation where a gambler - out of frustration - had to wager on impossible odds... The reasons he did this was clear.. - that he's been wagering all day on the most probable games and odds and sadly, non showed up for him.

Taking a break after a loosing streak is very important and cannot be overly emphasised but it's sad how people are still yet to wanting to adhere to this rule but interestingly this rule works just that they have failed to try it so they wouldn't know how well, I have been in a similar situation as the OP and I took a break which spanned over two months, when I came back I found out I was better off.

You get a more relaxed mind after the break because you will be playing on a fresh mind with having loses at the back of your mind to chase, after series of losses what most persons do is to embark on a pursuit to recover their losses and in most cases they never get to recover instead they loose more, this is found in 8 out of 10 gamblers.

Taking a break can also be seen as part of responsible gambling as always prescribed by the gambling house or casino, most times you may often turn out even luckier after your break and it helps you keep your self in check enough not to get to the point where you turn into an addict. They are all measures to help you gamble better and responsibly.

The initial reaction of a person when they lose in a gambling activity is the recover their losses and try to regain the advantage they had. Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, they have to start gambling again which creates an endless cycle for the gambler and the gambling company.

Sure, a person may win but they should never discount the possibility of losing as well. Not to mention, losing in a way of a losing streak sucks and this can only add fuel to the fire if they keep on continuing.

If a person is aware about their limits, then it should be somehow easier for them to break this cycle but almost everyone is challenged by this said act. I just hope that people would try their very best to know when to stop in order to avoid this problem escalating further.

We can provide some valuable suggestions based on our experiences as gamblers. In the past, I made mistakes when I rushed things. Personally, I've experienced gambling where my emotions ran high, resulting in chasing some bets. Even though my mind told me to take a break, I just couldn't stop. It felt like I was in a battle, and I'd only stop once I won or lost. Consequently, my bankroll had to be wiped out before I was forced to stop.

However, with experience comes wisdom. Here I am now, more mature and able to control myself without any problems.

Yes you are right Op  as a gambler there's a time that bwe need a break don't push too hard cause what like you said OP if you push to hard then it will result a bad time losses. So must be better if we can control ourselves and once we are too lucky then bet higher but if we think that we don't have our luck then don't hesitate to quit or pause for a while. We can not predict everytime we bet so we must have the mindset that gambling is for fun not for profit unless we are lucky enough.

Your mind telling you to stop is not really what is on your mind. From what I see you are still hoping to get your losses back, no stopping until everything is back. That is what makes you keep going. Especially if you won at least once after consecutive losses, you would have the mindset of "this might be the start of my straight winning". If you really want to take a break, and your mind tells you so, stand up and you can have your break.

Experience is really the fruit of every gambler. Over time, you will be able to control yourself, your emotions, and how much you spend on gambling. A really hard thing to do and will cost you a lot of money.

I think when it comes to gambling it is always better to bet with a small amount of money. Since you have bet more money and lost, your progress towards gambling will work and you may have lost because of your wrong decision. When you start gambling with your funds and experience losses, you should refrain from gambling for a while. But instead of giving up, you gamble more and more temptingly in the hope of winning and eventually lose all your money, leaving you pretty broke. Since you are not doing well in gambling right now, you must refrain from gambling for a few days and start gambling later when you are in a good phase. Now that your loss ratio is higher than your win ratio, you are probably under a lot of human pressure, so you should start after a few weeks without gambling now. When you see that the loss ratio is higher than the profit from gambling then it is a good decision for you to stop gambling, otherwise if you continue to gamble and bet you may face huge losses for sure.

I understand you perfectly and there are many gamblers just like you who are using the same strategy for gambling, but I do think you are doing way too much in gambling than you should, and now you don't know how to stop, what is the gambling process? It shows that you are so into gambling, I am not here to condemn anyone but please take gambling not too serious.

I am a gambler too but I don't gamble every day, joke apart, you can't be lucky every day, there are good days and bad days, I have meet some gamblers in my life that uses a special day in a week to gamble, it might be the Thursdays if they have a feeling that this day is always a special one for them, some people are less concern about themselves, they don't notice what's going on around them.

You simply don't have to gamble everyday, if you gamble everyday it means you want something from gambling, and believe me, you probably ain't going to get it, you are doing it incorrectly, only gamble if you can afford it, this should never be a source of income for anybody.

Indeed, this is normal because greed and always wanting more are human traits that cannot be eliminated. But if you continue to pursue victory and greater profits in this game, you are already on the verge of becoming a normal human being as a creature that can think. Humans, as creatures who can think, basically always avoid things that can harm them and can harm them, including when carrying out gambling activities. As someone who thinks clearly, they will always try to continue to control the gambling activities they carry out to prevent the worst possible outcomes from these activities. That. And don't let us be like monkeys who grip the nuts in holes made by humans (traps) and in the end, because they don't want to let go of the nuts, the monkeys end up being caught by humans. This means, don't let greed harm ourselves.

Not totally cant really be eliminated it is really just that there are people who cant really be able to control themselves and this is why they do really end up on a disaster or something that would really be that unfortunate condition of their lives and this is the only time that they would really be making those realizations and not on the time that they are really that winning because it is really that not
shocking that on the time that we are on positive or winning then we do really have that kind of boost up on which it would really be that causing that greed to come out and it isnt something that could really be easily stopped. Playing more or spending up until the very end would really be on someones discretion because there are really gamblers who do really continue to play as long they do have the balance or simply they are really just that enjoying the game but this is really just that not common because something like this would really be pertaining into those gamblers who do lost up their control.

I agree with you. The longer you stay at the casino is the higher the chance that you will end up losing if you don't withdraw even if you are on a constant win. Some people push their limit on playing more even if they know that they had reached their goal and will just end up losing because they want to get back on the goal that they had reached. That's a simple way to show how greedy some gamblers are. More negative things could happen if you are on loss like wishing that you end up hitting at least the breakeven point which most gamblers can't because they end up losing it all before they achieve it. Achieving mental thougness on doing gambling is hard but it can improve your overall gambling performance. It's also healthy for your mental health.

You have to think wise if you have that kind of win to lose ratio, 1 win to 3 losses is not a good ratio at all and if you continue to chase for your losses, then the result will be worst. If you are not winning better to stop gambling for a while and wait for your luck to come because if you choose to gamble more, then the result might be different and that could affect your capital and your emotion as well. I’ve been into this situation, and yes being greedy is too risky and chasing your losses is not a good idea at all.

I feel you, OP. Even though there's already an obvious sign that something wrong is happening and my luck is not around the corner, I'm still trying to push for it and hope that it will be another way around and later on, mostly ended up wrecked. And it doesn't stop there, even if luck is not on my side, will still push for it and will deposit another round and the same result.

I don't know but there's something really pushing us to play more even though there are lots of signs already that we won't make it this round.

But after a rest of 1 or 2 days, I can assure you that there's something like luck replenishment and the fun will start again. Just a repeated cycle indeed.

Quitting is always an option if you're not gaining, getting or even if it's affecting your life or your financial stability. But if it isn't affecting your life much and don't want to quit gambling, then you can just let that one game go that is only providing losses.

However, on my experience, as I really want to play dice much even after losing multiple times, I just try to change platform as most gambling platform offer dice games and stick on platform that I feel more lucky. Right now, my best three dice platforms are Primedice, Just-dice and recently with Coinroyale (did not expect to be lucky on this one).

Gambling will be so fun and effortless for us to deal with if we can just understand how to go about it by peacefully accepting the defeat on our unlucky days by just walking away as quick as you can before you get to lose more. Any gambler reading this would be in same wavelength with me that there have been days they have had streaks of winnings effortlessly without them doing so much of a hard work on the games.And that's why on days when we're having losses we should also cease from chasing those losses thinking we can recover them because if it were that possible to recovering the loss you wouldn't have made the loss from the very first bets when you initially started. Taking a break at that point  is your best shot and not by  either increasing your wager or style of bets.

well, you're not alone in such dilemma. most are trying to recover their losses, hence, they continue to play up until they are broke. one way to combat this emotion is set your max limit that you can lose for a day or for a specific game. and stick with it. if you will bend what you've set for yourself, you will surely continue and before you know it, your bankroll is already gone. your emotion play a great role on when to call it a day or not. one should always remind himself of why he's playing in the first place.

Winning was never assured in gambling. Playing with higher frequency won’t increase your chances of winning. Pushing it that much could just generate bigger loss especially if emotions will take over your gambling activities; you’d be frustrated of how things are going.Funny thing here is that, we started aiming for profit but afterwards we are just trying to get back with what we have lost and once we’re already there, we would again take the risk of achieving actual wins and that will be a cycle. Discipline is the best thing we should all have but this is something which won’t be attained easily.

The most of the gambler take the gambling as the effortless game and it will give the more money for the winning.But the factor is the gambling only help the gambler who had luck to win the game.The gambler choose the gambling as the earning tool,but the gambling was the game was not accepted one by the many gamblers.The quick betting on the random option will not the better one in the gambling.The random betting gambler will lose the money in the gambling.The gambler ready to build their own strategy in the technical based gambling poker,in such games the gambler will mark their win towards the poker games.

We have the same scenario. I win a little bit and then the online casino takes it back. It's always a break even no matter how long I play. So, I believe what you are suggesting is right, take a rest, a day should suffice if someone out there cannot control his way of gambling. That one day of rest will certainly make a difference in the way the outcome will be.
Forcing the break-even or trying to have more wins will just be the spark for doom. Sometimes we will just have to let it go and try again another day.
Another bad effect of pushing the win is a stressful environment that could lead to addiction and then we cannot control our emotions anymore so we make bad decision that would make us increase our bet amount to chase the losses which we all know ain't a good stategy.

If we eat even our favorite foods every day, we end up with a feeling of boredom. Gambling is a mundane activity for me, just like eating. That's why I take a break from gambling every now and then. I call it a detox. However, after a little rest, I pick up where I left off, because long separations cause me greater performance problems. Also, no matter how long I stay away from betting, I still feel like I'm betting because I continue to watch sporting events. I guess it's ingrained in my soul.

It's crucial to know when to stop. Much better to do it before losing so much money in gambling. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to play especially if that can make you happy by having a satisfaction. However, you should know when to play or when to refrain yourself.

Indeed. If you're lucky, even you just place a bet once or twice, you can win huge. It's not about how long you stay on the game (though we'll never know). But it's not wise if you only have limited bankroll. Therefore just use what you can only afford, and if you got busted early, just stop and come back if you already have a budget again meant for leisure.

In my view, eating and gambling are quite different. When you eat, you typically expect to feel full when you consume a substantial amount of food. However, with gambling, you may sometimes end up with nothing. When it comes to eating, there's a maximum amount of food your body can consume, but with gambling, it can feel like there's no limit, especially when you're on a winning streak. You tend to keep going as long as you're winning to satisfy yourself. Taking a break usually occurs when you experience losses, not when you're winning, so these two activities aren't entirely comparable.

Hey, at least it was breaking even. That actually lets you enjoy the game since you wouldn't mind the losses that much, in comparison to losing everything. While I say that you just need to enjoy the game, I know a lot of people are still affected by the money spent when gambling, but I reckon they shouldn't let breaking even break them down, it's actually the best result imo. Winning in general on the other hand is more on the side of a nice side result imo. 

Though I do agree with taking a break. Even I get frustrated, imagine people who gamble to win.

Exactly right, there is no point of satiation.

Same can be said with basically anything else, drugs, alcohol, food, even entertainment in general.

You can only eat so much every day, and you can only watch a few movies per day. But you can bet and lose all your money in a single night.

We hope that with the advice we give, they can learn from our experience and apply it to them so they don't have to make the mistakes we made.
If they later make mistakes, it is because they were not careful in their actions, but that's okay because those mistakes can make them wiser in gambling.

I have also experienced what you feel and it feels very uncomfortable. There is a tight feeling in the chest that cannot be expelled.
Starting from there, I said I had to control myself and prevent my emotions from escalating, especially since I had already felt it. I continued to practice harder and harder and once left gambling for some time to learn self-control starting from the small things first.

Gambling is like an addiction, Even for those who are not addicted to gambling, leaving gambling for them too is a painful experience and requires a lot of dedication and self commitment.

You gamble and you lose and you do not gamble and still feel the stress of not playing gambling, how strange it is. For those, who want to quit gambling for a little while so as to overcome their bad luck period, it may be good if they are still allowed to gamble a few games daily but with a very limited amount of money. This way they won't feel stressed that they are not gambling.

What a tricky, difficult, little game you are, gambling. Isn't it like being in a tough spot where you're stuck between a rock and a hard place? You gamble, you lose; you don’t gamble, you lose (at least, you feel like you’re losing something, right?). A lose-lose scenario

Now, I've witnessed some extremely intelligent individuals attempt to manipulate the gambling process. Hey, let's limit the money and the games, and we'll beat the system, they reason. However, the home always, always wins, don't you think, friend? It's not about the money; it's about the rush, the unpredictable nature, and the exhilaration of not knowing what will happen next. Limiting money, then? Yes, it's a plan, and it might even work for a little while. When you say "No more" and really mean it, though, that is when you win in the genuine sense; the big, huge way. It happens when you assume initiative, assert yourself, and declare, "I'm bigger than this game!" Although it's not simple at all, don't you believe the victory is worth the struggle?

I'm not :P

If I want to stop gamble, I can easily do that and will not feel any pain to leave from gambling.

If you always think you must gamble all of your day, then it means you should find a new activity because you're have too much free time. When you have a lot activities, you will not think about gambling anymore.

According to the description of your gambling strategy you are very much mistaken.
 
I will remind you of a few indisputable facts that you forget about:

- Each subsequent bet in gambling is not related to the previous ones, so linking the time of the game and success is not quite right.
- Breaks in gambling make sense only when your emotions prevent you from making adequate decisions.
- Gambling is a zero-sum game, which is why you can't win all the time.

Gambling addiction is not such a common occurrence, more often the player stops when he receives a big loss, or a series of losses. When you see that it is difficult for you to win, then there is no point in playing further, perhaps there will be some more attempts to win back, but in case of failure (which most often happens), the attempts will stop and that will all be over.

Addiction is already a consequence of the manifestation of some weaknesses, something that requires outside help, such people do not need to be forced to play, they themselves are looking for this opportunity, and more often they need help to stop, despite the fact that they understand that this is a problem, they cannot stop on one's own.

If I want to stop gambling I can easily do that too, because I am far from getting addicted to gambling, I knew about gambling before I started gambling and there is no single person I knew that stood up right with gambling, it almost ruined them for life.

So with the danger lights all around me I knew I had to be very careful with gambling, I don't and won't gamble every day, it's not just in me, there are other things that deserves more of my money than gambling, only a few dollars here and there when available is what I use in gambling and I already know what the result will be, it is always that 80 percent chance that I will lose, see how big the risk is?

With this big of a risk you should be prepared for what you are going to get, it's certain that you will lose money more before you get even lucky, and that's true gambling, if you want to survive on this field only use what you are ready to lose.

It seems like you have good self-control and that's all because you already know all the risks about gambling and you also really understand how gambling works.
You are very great and of course you always gamble using cold money that is not used for daily needs and do it with small bets and this is what other gamblers should do who must understand all the risks that will occur when gambling and avoid addiction.
But it all seems to be about the strength of each gambler's principles because all gambling addicts usually also have a very strong stance not to be addicted but in the end they are defeated by greed and very high emotions so that they lose control and become addicted.

I believe fear of losing do most of the job how he can self control effectively on gambling. Actually, this is the only reason too why players will keep away on gambling since even a person that doesn’t have money can produce some if he is already addicted.

I feel this kind of fear sometimes after experiencing a huge loss. I normally don’t play gambling for a long period until I can move on to my previous loss. Fear is an effective way to make someone self control that’s what it was being use even on different substances which people often gets addicted such as cigarettes and alcohol.

I'm interested at the bolded.
I used to think whenever I tried to used this kind of strategy to get my loss, there is this forces of gambling that is against me, I lose more the more I try to even on my deposits. Sometimes, I think blame myself for trying to recover losses because they don't work, the only time they work is when I least expect it that's when they actually work and I would be like, no way!  :o
Gambling is stressful too, there is a time to jump off the train when you see that it's about to enter a wrong lane, you will only bite more the remaining balance the more you try to win more.

I selected about 8 basketball matches 2 days ago, they were short all selected options where the lowest lower line any punter would think of, I reviewed the stake and the selected options and they were the least option I can select, 7 of 8 did exactly as I predicted but the last one ruined everything, never had hopes on it but I never expected it to end that badly. I lost the bet and I haven't try anything since that Friday, I wanted to make back the loss but I ignored the thought  and rest because it's help the brain relax. Will try again next time.

In the world we are living in, one can only have too much free time if they are lazy and don't have a job basically, because if you are working, you will probably not have a lot of free time since you will work about 8 to 9 hours a day, and the rest of the time you will probably do something that releases stress, now that activity can be gambling but since you don't really have a lot of time, you won't be spending a lot of money on it and you will gamble just for fun.

Those who have a lot of free time are probably jobless and I wonder how they can gamble in their free time since they don't have an income to use for that. You can only be able to do something that involves money if you have money and to have money, you need to have a source of income.

There is no doubt that gambling can make people return to gambling without having time to consider whether it is good for them or will only bring bad things.
They would choose not to continue gambling and leave the casino if they knew.
Unfortunately, only a handful of people can do this while other gamblers choose to continue gambling.

They gamble and they lose, but they still keep gambling again. It's strange but that's what happens with many gamblers.
We should not be surprised because gambling offers big wins to every gambler who does not take good care of himself.
That is why people must be able to use gambling properly and only as entertainment so they do not become stressed.

Please take a take a week or months break from gambling after which you can decide whether you would like to return or not. During this break, your mind would be clear enough and you will not be distracted by the thoughts of gambling. For the break to be effective, don't stay idle. Learn a skill, volunteer, take a class, participate in an outdoor activity. Just stay busy doing something. The when the break is over you can decide if you want to go back to gambling or not

There is an addiction that is chronic that whether you have time or not you will find a way of gambling irrespective of having activities or work that don't allow you time to gamble. There are some gamblers despite that they are offline gamblers, they book out the games they want to play and send it through someone to bet it for them when they are busy and can't visit the gambling house. Addiction varies and that is the difference. Quiting is good and important but it takes extra effort and support.

I think we do not go into the root cause of the issue. The question is why do gamblers keep pushing for playing more? Is this their own will or there is some additional pressure in the back of their mind that they have to make money and feed their near and dear ones from this gambling money?

I agree that only addiction can be the cause of this over playing but in the end, doesn't the money matter? All the gamblers who are addicted only because they want to make more and more money. We only know this but no one tries to find out if they are making this money for themselves or if they are forced by their loved ones (their family, wife, children, brothers, sisters) to get more money for them, no matter how they get it.

The most important thing in gambling is that when you have won and made a profit, then stop and enjoy your profits. But this is something that is difficult to manage, of course when you win you will continue to try to multiply your profits. The sensation of winning a gambling game, the feeling of tension during the game and the desire to repeat the sensation again are things that can overcome your common sense.

I keep losing lately as well. Maybe I have no luck or my analysis sucks lately and it needs more research. I am into DOTA 2 nowadays since it is The International, the biggest DOTA 2 event yearly. I also tried not forcing betting every series of games but maybe I just don't have the luck. The favorite teams are also losing.

Today I have no bets but I am not sure if I can stop the urge since this event only happens once a year. Maybe I won't bet today and will bet again tomorrow. If only this event lasts for months then I would like to have a rest for a week or even more. But I guess the most important is to stay within our budget. So far my account still has a remaining balance so I can continue betting if I feel so.

I think every gambler has been in your shoes, facing a long gambling session where we had initial profits and didn't save any of them only to not be able to breakeven again. Unfortunately, that is part of the game and sometimes we just can't force a win again. It's better to take a break and try with a fresh start in the next days again. Chasing losses and trying to turn a loss into a win was one of my biggest gambling mistakes. There will always be winning and losing streaks and we should adapt that. It's good that you realised your weakness yourself and change your behaviour accordingly. Taking a break is one thing that can help to clear our mind, another approach that I found to be useful is to always take profits when I make a bigger win. I have a fixed budget to gamble with each week and month to protect my overall bankroll. As long as I stick to my limits, I don’t face the risk of losing all my money. And if I save some part of my profits each month it’s helping me to grow my bankroll overtime.

Not only that but when you have won a substantial amount in slot games that offer that x100 multiplier which can make you win a big amount of money like with 0.10 dollars 100 dollars or more in a spin you say to yourself let's continue and play 50 dollars or 50% of the profit I made.When things go south then,you get the rage and you keep going and hitting that spin button even when you have lost half of the profit which in turn brings you even more south as you lose it all and in fact it is normal,the longer you play a slot machine the higher the chances of losing it all.

Your experience, is our experience.

I really understand what you are saying in this thread, and so does our experience. I think almost most gamblers have and often experience this, even over and over again like an endless cycle, especially when our emotions and feelings of anger are involved in one moment of a gambling session as you describe in this thread. In my experience, moments like this often occur when I play live casino games or in the current version of playing slots. Not infrequently we will always try to force ourselves to play more, although not in every case we lose in a session.
There are also times when we win, but we don't want to stop the gambling session. This is not a matter of greed for me, but rather a sensation and curiosity that is too high as to how far I can play it. although in most cases, in the end we lose. Challenges like that often make us play more. We often forget, or are too engrossed in the game, especially in the exciting moment phase, which in other words is in a winning condition. but since what we are discussing in this thread is the loss version, so let's discuss it a little.

Well, I agree with the title of your thread. I also have a saying, never force luck if in the end the opposite happens. and this is what often happens to gamblers, we always push our luck and play too much. The point is, as you said as well as I said too. If basically a game no longer seems fun, you should not hesitate to stop. take a break, have fun with something else after we recover from the state of irritation, anger and so on, we can start back to the gambling session.

You will undoubtedly end up with winning and losing streaks (a bit more of losing streaks though give the odds). That's just how the game works.

At the end of the day you will probably be better off if you enjoy the process because the most likely scenario is to lose more than to earn.

If you only see gambling as a way to become rich, then things might not go that way and you might end up in depression or worse...

Losing is normal thing and must be accepted by every gambler who experiences it so there is no reason not to be able to accept it because you are also aware that risking money definitely carries the risk of losing so wiser gamblers will try and try to stop if they have experienced a losing streak.
Maybe you need to try stopping when you lose or win when you feel unsure about what you are going to do then from here you will feel how to be responsible and wise gambler.

Many people like the Dota 2 type of game and this game already has an international tournament called TI so many fans will probably bet on every match when this tournament starts because it only happens once year.
For this year at the start of the tournament it was difficult to guess who would win in each match, in fact I always followed developments and tried to match the predictions I had with the results of the match before actually betting on it but it true that only mistakes can be made and if I bet I might lose more money.
If you want to win more easily bet when you have reached the quarter-finals.

Even if you like it you still have to stop and never return to betting maybe you need to rest and calm your mind so you can make more mature predictions.

I have always have this believe that gambling or it's addiction is something of a choice that we can deal with if we wish to. Although it's a difficult decision to make but when you are self disciplined it will be easier to do. Idleness can contribute just as you said because when you are always free and have access to to internet, it will be very easy to think of gambling throughout the day but when you are tightly engaged with some task, you'll have less time to gamble. It doesn't matter whether you are regular winner or loser, some time you need to take some break from gambling to avoid getting addicted. Addiction is quite hard to stop.

You are gradually getting addicted with gambling, I recommend you to take some weeks off gambling, find something that can make you money that isn't gambling related and work on that, oy people who don't have a good source of income rely so much on gambling almost everyday and mind you, how many gamblers around you have you seen that becomes a great person financially through gambling? The exact question that people should be asking themselves.

Why is that? Because gambling is all about luck and not many people will be proud of their gambling journey, this is why it's wiser to gamble only when you can afford the money, and also make sure you use the lowest money to gamble because the surest thing waiting to happen is you losing the money.

It's common sense to understand that gambling will make you lose money than your will win, so it's not a good path to start chasing some kind of result, the chances you have is too slim, instead find something more reliable to invest on, start a business and grow that up, focus on it instead of dreaming that you get rich with gambling.

You can choose not to gamble, especially if you know that gambling can cause you many problems. If you have started gambling and feel that gambling is taking up more of your time, maybe you need to start reducing your gambling activities and replace them with other activities.

By trying to do other things that are not related to gambling, you will be able to reduce your gambling activities. And if you can do it regularly, you can quit gambling and never gamble again. But I think that can work if you do other things just to reduce your gambling activity.

But to do this, you must have good self-discipline to do it regularly. Don't forget a single day of doing this new activity because that can help you reduce your gambling activities.

The possibility is small to be able to stop gambling especially for people who are already heavily addicted to gambling, only a few people can do what you said but for gambling addicts if they really want to stop it doesn't hurt to try your advice even though it is unlikely to be able to stop because basically heavy addicts only think about gambling with the aim of being able to get a big win no matter how much defeat they feel because maybe their only pleasure is in gambling.

Their optimism in gambling to get a win is very high, this is good but this optimism is misplaced, it should not be in gambling which will make them difficult later, but what can make advice and criticism has been given but if they cannot realize the bad side of gambling there will be no end to gambling. I myself if I have a friend who is a heavy addict and it is difficult to stop even I have given encouragement and advice to stop but he himself cannot stop gambling I will let him so that all his money runs out and feels a loss, running out of their own money only they themselves will realize that they are at the lowest point due to gambling, with the exhaustion of their money there is a possibility that they will realize and think about stopping gambling but if it's like this they will experience severe difficulties not even just in money problems maybe it could be in the economy too. To do what you said in my opinion must have the right principles planted in the day of the gambling addict it will all be in vain if in the heart of the gambler there is no full intention to stop gambling.

Yes, it also makes sense that when fear takes over our minds it definitely won't come back again until the fear is gone and that fear will usually only disappear temporarily and turn into anxiety or hesitation every time we want to place a bet and if it is forced it will usually end badly as my own friend once experienced when he gambled confidently without having any doubts he bet on sports betting like a winning streak and very quickly made a profit but when he lost one time and lost all his money he came back to bet again the next day but with the reason he was a little afraid and doubtful was because after the defeat he was a little careful but unfortunately he became unfocused and lost again.
I'm sure every gambler has experienced cases like this and the most important thing is to always stop when the time is right.

Agree, taking a break to think about new strategies in gambling is the right step, so that previous losses do not occur or minimize losses in gambling. And another thing is looking for new activities, for example keeping yourself busy in organizations or continuing a hobby that you have abandoned for a long time. And slowly it will emerge by itself, namely thinking that continuing to gamble is just looking for entertainment or having fun or immediately stopping because you realize that gambling will plunge you into misery and regret.

People do it because they have this meme in mind.

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/038/812/cover5.jpg

You know it's been going bad for you, but what if your luck turns next round and it starts going great, allowing you to recoup all your losses and more?
I also tell people to stop if they feel like they're unlucky and start becoming nervous and depressed, but there's always this hope that we have of finally hitting gold.
That's why the best thing is to set a money limit. If you hit it, that should be the end.You will not know what happens next round, but you'll at least be able to blame it on the bankroll.

Your remark about gambling's addiction is correct. The thing is: Humans crave instant gratification. Our minds are wired that way. Gambling capitalizes on this behavior, trapping people in a cycle of instant gratification. Can you think of many gamblers who became wealthy? Probably not. You know why? Gambling is a downward spiral for most, not an elevator.

Lets examine your luck argument. You're right. Gambling is luck, not talent. Depending on it for financial security is like catching raindrops in a sieve. Some drips fall, but most disappear. Yes, your money does that. Why not pivot instead of taking this risk? Focus on more tangible projects. A firm offers a physical product or service. You can touch, feel, and grow it. Betting on oneself and abilities? Thats the risk worth taking.

That's true that sometimes you could feel you win like your luck sided on you in that one round. But if you're just keep going and betting all of your funds cause you are just hoping to win, I think you're just hoping to recover your loss and if it continues, it could be consider as addiction. Set money limit, plus controlling your emotions is a must. Cause as you said as you started unlucky, you are starting to panic and depressed which could impact your decision making giving you bad calls. Also know when to stop, cause gambling still doesn't guarantee you win so control yourself.

I agree with you. It is normal for us to lose money in gambling. But when I think that I have to recover my lost money. And I'll keep betting to make up for the losses, but that's what gambling addiction is all about. Winning and losing in gambling is a natural process. And I personally think gambling is more likely to lose. And so bet very carefully. And we should never think that I have to win. Gambling should only be considered a game. It can never be through making money. I know several people who have chosen gambling as a career. And many of them have lost everything in gambling. But there are some lucky people who have managed to make a lot of money in gambling. This is an exceptional case.

I have tried adhering to this,but I find it very difficult to,and I know quite well that there are some days when you will be frustrated because you want to win more,but will find it so difficult to get a win.This is where the topic comes in,never to push more when you see that it's isn't just going well for that day.Gambling can be so annoying when you keep on losing,you wish to win by all means,but the game is not one that guarantees you regular win,playing more after a losing streak will cause you to lose more money.

That's the thing that is really hard to deal for a lot of people. Self-control is not something that you will easily get, and you will have to work hard in order to get that for yourself. It will take quite some time in order to achieve self-control. There will always be times wherein you are frustrated of the losses, and you still have the funds to continue to recoup the losses. It's a difficult decision to make, but once you did it the first time, the succeeding situations will be a lot easier to handle.

Every day, gambling on a roll can make you become addicted to gambling. Sometimes you have to give it a break, no matter how serious it is, you have to give it a break. Many people have been stocked with this mindset of trying to win back the money that they have lost from gambling.

Trying to get a win when losing is very difficult in the gambling world, so many chronic gamblers don't know, but only a few deals with it so well. However, in this case, when gamblers gamble for undeviating days, it makes the winning hard to come, but if the gambler just takes a break for days, then the winning might start coming.

People don't take breaks when it comes to money because they believe that if they do, they will miss opportunities and, in turn, be unable to achieve their goals for independence. Because when caution is not exercised, the line is crossed, and when that line is crossed, addiction results.
Looking for a job that period the individual is taking a break from gambling will profit the person in two things one he will make money from the job and his or her mind will be taking away from gambling for some time. When your mind is occupied, it will be difficult to even consider placing a wager; gambling is not a reliable source of money. They are aware that gambling depends on luck and will always want to test it. The greatest thing to do when it comes to gambling is to set a limit, but greed will not let you.
They should decide what is best for them.

The meme do give us motivation to keep pushing forward but it is not applicable with what @OP is telling us.  In that meme, the other person just give up, and stop completely while @OP's suggestion is to have a break and pause for a while to remove all the negative feelings like stress and frustration and come back when these negative feeling is gone and we have the free funds for our gambling session.

Setting a money limit also saves the gambler from spending more than he can afford to lose and may save him from all the despair and regrets of losing his finances due to uncontrolled gambling habit.

When you should quit or take a break from gambling
- consistent losing streak
- borrowing to gamble
- mental stress and exhaustion but can't get over the thoughts of not gambling.
- regret, guilt and remorse that follows after a loss.
- peer pressure to keep gambling despite losses
- physical negative effects on work, person life and relationships.
- co- maladaptive habits to cope with losses.

That’s when gambling gets dangerous. You shouldn’t get obsessed with winning and you should definitely not double down on your losses. Yes I am talking about Martingale and any of its variants. When you gamble you should focus on how much you are comfortable with losing. Because your chances of winning something is mathematically lower than losing. You should realize that your are not investing when you play in a casino, you are gambling and most gamblers lose in the long run. It is not like investing where you buy a house or an index fund and make profits in the long run. It doesn’t work like that with gambling. If you want sure returns, start a business or make investments. Gambling is only for having fun.

I agree with what you said, that gambling is not the right way so that they can get rich quickly, but it will spend all their money and the chances of winning are not much, there are indeed some people who gamble and get big wins maybe it's time for that person to get lucky. If we look at a glance, it is indeed getting rich quickly (HOKI) if luck is on our side, well try if we are unlucky and continue to lose and lose and continue to spend all the money we have, there is no victory but misery that we feel.

All depends on luck no matter how small the bet is played if it's hockey, yes we can get a big win but if it's unlucky no matter how much we bet, it's a defeat that we get. as you said gambling is not investing, it should be better to invest to generate definite profits even though there is still a risk but it will not be as severe as gambling. By investing it is not detrimental it can be profitable in the long run so at least there is savings that have been prepared early on, rather than spending money on gambling that is not sure of the victory that can be obtained.

This is what is feared when they gamblers are too obsessed or put high hopes on a victory, and if that happens then I'm sure they will be willing to do anything just to gamble, such as borrowing money from people around them or even taking unexpected actions such as stealing money just to gamble, this is really an impact that is very dangerous for everyone. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of what you're doing and what you're doing.

Being a responsible gambler by accepting all the consequences at the end of the round is better than you keep thinking about how to win, don't bother because this is really about luck so it means that if you are lucky then you will easily get the victory. That's right, the percentage of wins is in fact much lower than the very high losses, everyone has proven it and I'm sure they admit it. It's quite strange to see the mindset of people like that in gambling who want to make easy money, of course if you want to make easy, consistent and long-term money then gambling is not the place, but you have to find another job, business or whatever it is that has a guarantee of success and real profit, that's all.

I totally agree with you on what you just said above, as I'm convinced this is one of the best gambling advise I have ever heard since the beginning of the year (i.e to know when to quit), because this has been one of the major problem among gamblers for not knowing when to quit and say "No" to gambling after many several loses, to avoid going into debt, after you may have borrowed money, and lost due to lack of self control, not knowing when to stop. Because though gambling could be life changing if you are lucky, but however, it's not a do-or-die affair.

Right, because in this case when you do work continuously every day it will become a habit as well as in gambling when you try to gamble without thinking about time and always try every day this will make gambling your habit and when you don't do it you will have something missing and have to do and this will become a dependency that is ultimately difficult for you to get rid of.

This is definitely not advisable because no matter how much self-control you exercise, it will not be able to fortify ourselves from the habit of trying to gamble every day.

If you have more ambition to win, in fact we will experience more and more defeat. I once heard of someone who won a large amount of gambling even though they only played it for fun and only used a small amount of money. He didn't expect that his fun would result in a big win, so It can be concluded that winning at gambling only favors the lucky person, even if you spend as much money as possible on gambling, if luck is not on your side then you will continue to experience losses.

Therefore, it is better for us to play gambling within reasonable limits so as not to incur large losses so that we are not burdened if we continue to lose so that we can stop at any time without thinking about the defeat that has just occurred.

yet you are lucky mate, because you have come to stay playing for consecutive days without losing completely your capital , things that I will be thankful if happened to me , there are so much losses in my part that I can only stay 3-7 hours before losing it all or winning good to stand from the table.
or maybe I am also good in deciding to get out once earning enough amount to be thankful.
and I also believe that you manage to learn here , that never that you will get luck in those many days of playing.
next time just consider staying for couple of hours then go.

The span of time you use for gambling is irrelevant really.

Every instance of gambling is independent of the next one, so it doesn't really matter if you gamble 10 hours one day or 1 hour for ten days. The games will have the same odds.

The only thing that will make you win against the casino is to stop gambling when you win big. That's it. And the thing is that the "win big" event might never arrive...

This is true about everything, when people are having fun they do not want to listen to a speech regarding their responsibilities and controlling their expenses, so they ignore everything on the pursuit of their enjoyment, but this is a dangerous attitude to have, as if they gamble without any limits then one day they will be unable to accept the negative results they are getting and make bets that are a little bit too rich for them, and once they realize what they have done they will regret their actions, but by then it is too late to do anything to change what they did.

That's true because at least he can still play for a few days in a row and not many people can do that or get that kind of opportunity. And he is one of the lucky people who can keep gambling and not lose a lot of capital and he should be able to rest well and enjoy his time resting. This proves that if we gamble too often and for too long, it can also make us tired so we need a break for a while and should be able to take a break for a few days instead of a few moments.

That's the point of being able to control ourselves because we can decide what is best for us and not gamble for too long because that can trigger more losses. This is a valuable experience that we can learn from so that we can avoid it when gambling. And we also have to know when we need a break.

Right. Thats why I salute those who atleast try to refrain from excessive gambling same for those who made it through. Even the first step to become conscious about your bad gambling habit is alteady difficult. I just know people who until today are still trying to overcome their gambling problems. By slowly replacing gambling activities with other hobbies and being consistent, they gradually reduce and I hope that they eventually quit gambling or even just manage. It's all about self-discipline and finding healthier alternatives to occupy your time. Kudos to those taking the responsible path!

Gambling is a kind of test in which a person has a hard time controlling their own desires and emotions. We've all made the same mistake you mentioned at least a few times. The important detail here is to obtain results from all these mistakes made in order not to repeat this mistake and to learn to control our psychology while gambling. The easiest way to achieve this is to set some rules for ourselves when we gamble and to continue gambling without going beyond these rules. Also, remembering that gambling is an expensive hobby not a method of making money, will definitely help you control yourself because usually the only thing that causes such mistakes in gambling is the ambition to make money.

Talking about myself, I can easily say that I generally gamble for fun but if I lose money quickly even though it is for fun I take a break for a few days and sometimes a few weeks.

That's a long break, and it must have had an impact on you. It can stop being fun when you're experiencing losses. Personally, when I say "fun," I mean enjoying something regularly, but losing large amounts in gambling is not enjoyable. Sometimes, I tend to be unrealistic because I only focus on the happy moments in gambling, and during times of losses, it feels like I'm not winning at all.

I've come to realize that keeping a record of my gambling activity is essential if I want to keep track of my status, but it can take away from the fun aspect because it makes me feel like I'm taking gambling too seriously, almost like considering it a way to earn a living.

The best way to have fun is not to worry about budgeting, simply enjoy gambling, and if you win, go ahead and spend it all, then repeat the process.

This is true. If you are already in the verge of a lose streak and is completely affecting you mentally and emotionally, then you should probably take a break.
Because when you are stressing out about your loss, and you are still continuing playing, it will certainly impact your gameplay and decision making, and will result to reckless gambling. So, the time you feel like you are in your unstable state, then do not push playing more because it will just result to a loss after another loss. Remember that emotion is a huge factor in gambling and being too emotional like being too stressed or too upset, it will just only result in negative outcomes and it wouldn't do any good for you. Because sometimes, we have too much pride in ourselves and that we believe that we can chase our losses. But sometimes, it is better to admit that we have lost, because with this we will be able to recognize that we need to take a break and reflect.

First of all what you did in this statement shows that you let your greed and being irresponsible to take over your decision,  resulting to you losing more money, raising your wage just to think that you can recover your lost is not a smart way of thinking in only imply that you are desperate and wanting a shortcut to chase your loses. This should serve as your lesson and to the other readers that this kind of thinking or strategy in gambling doesn't work it will only cost you more.

I see too many people playing way too often. I couldn't agree more that taking a break between gambling, especially when you've got a problem or you simply gamble a whole lot, it's always good to take a break for mental health.  To me gambling should be something that is a fun hobby for people, not something that people should be doing every day and stressing themselves out with.

There will always be times like this when you are losing badly, but if you're playing for fun then it is nothing for you, if you expect fair games like not losing your bankroll or at least win once in your session it's acceptable for you.

I have a long losing run of two weeks in my sessions so I ended up getting a two-week vacation just to forget the bad runs, and sometimes it does wonder but if the losing streak continues at least you forget or shrug the memories of your past losing streak.

Gamblers should take an off from time to time even if you're winning not only when you're having a bad run.

It is true that this type of thinking will put gamblers at greater risk that's why resting after a win and chasing a good loss will lose the winning amount. What they do wrong is their lack of discipline in gambling every good gambler knows that discipline in gambling is as important as a good strategy. There is one vital aspect of gambling that is always underestimated smart players know that everything before playing a casino is to be aware of their overspending there are no short cut rules in gambling proceed wisely.

Of course greed will be the starting point for an ending that is usually worse than what you imagine, honestly even if for example at first you have managed to get a win I say it is not a real victory because I am sure most of them will prefer to continue playing with a higher bet amount, instead of securing and withdrawing the money from the winnings but they choose to bet again with much higher expectations. Are you sure you will be able to win? this is gambling that obviously only luck will be able to help you, so for the final result really no one will know, whoever it is, and yes usually if you do that then eventually you will lose again.

Usually this happens to those who are already addicted, because their hopes are far beyond anything even though there are enormous risks that await them but I see them like they don't care and when the time comes then they will regret it. True, discipline and self-control is the most important thing in gambling, if you are careless and forget all that then I'm sure you will end up with a real downfall, because that's the only thing that can help you and keep you from experiencing excessive losses. So you should really consider everything in gambling because this is a very risky activity.

If people have ambitions for the jackpot and winning big, they will probably spend their time gambling without caring about the money and time they spend unconsciously, even though they could just take a break to just calm their minds and catch their breath to be calmer, sometimes gamblers When you lose, you don't stop, but instead you continue playing until you finally lose control and become an addict.

It should be advised not to force yourself to gamble when you experience a losing streak, it's a good idea to stop to calm your mind and manage your emotions well so that you don't get carried away making the situation worse and ultimately become addicted. The point is to gamble wisely by managing the time and budget for gambling so that there is an alarm to stop gambling.

Greed occurs when you are controlled by the gambling game you are playing, where you should be the one who controls the gambling game.
Get used to playing casually without emotion or ambition, because ambition and emotion make you controlled by the game you play, making you unable to control it. Especially when you are in a winning position, because emotions and ambition will surround you, making you continue playing and have the hope of having the ambition to win again, which will actually lead to your destruction which will result in losing everything.
Smart gamblers will stay away when they are in a winning position, and will come back again when they want to play in an overall good and calm atmosphere, so they can enjoy the game and play relaxedly with sufficient capital.

I think one of the bigger fallacies is that once someone wins a big jackpot exactly because he took more risk than usual, it may lead that player to believe that it was right to take the higher risk and in essence the player is right about it. Because if he stopped just one minute earlier to calm down, the jackpot may have never happened to him. That's why gambling requires a limit that a player adheres to no matter what. Winning jackpots when actually you know you should have long stopped can also be a dangerous trap for the mind. It's what you will repeatedly say to yourself next time because it worked out last time.

Well, you know, one reason why i think its extremely important to take a rest after winning a significant amount of money from gambling is that, after a gamblers wins a tangible sum and continues to gamble.
First, there is a high chance that such a gambler will enter into a very long losing streak with very minor wins from time to time, this i believe is an algorithm the casino has set in order to help them get that money back from the gambler.

Secondly, the tendencies that the gambler will also increase the betting amount since he or she now have huge funds in the gambling account, is very high, this the gambler will be tempted to do in a bid to win even higher amount of money just in case he or she gets lucky again, which often times is not always the case but the other way round.

So for me, if for any reason i get so lucky and won a huge amount of money through gambling, I don't mind staying away from gambling up to a month before i come back again.

This can be yes or not sir, because I have tried it several times, although in different results, the time span of hearing is the possibility we get a victory, I also feel strange why it can happen, the longer the gambling is the more likely to get a big multiplier in the slot game For example, yes agree with you that a true victory is when we get a big victory then we choose to stop, that's a fact that I cannot reject about your argument.
It's just that it reaches a big victory, the time to bring in victory requires a little more time and makes a random choice to increase the possibility of victory through a random multiplier.

I agree with you, yes, if we lose from gambling that day, we should take a break the next day or the next few weeks. Sometimes many players find it difficult or difficult to control themselves and continue playing instead of getting the next opportunity to get lucky in gambling. This is where we need to take a decision to stop controlling our finances and emotions in gambling games.

If a person has a serious gambling problem, he needs to either stop gambling completely, or learn to control himself and his money while gambling, and not to take breaks.

Any gambler who has long abstained from gambling, well remember the greedy feeling with which he returns to the game after a break. Sometimes at such a moment you can spend even more than you were going to spend at first.

Controlling your interruptions helps if you do not have a gambling addiction and want to reduce the likelihood of having one.

You're right, control and self-limitation are very important when it comes to gambling and most people often forget that because of the excitement when they get lucky in gambling, want to get back what they lost, etc. There is nothing wrong with having fun, just don't overdo it and don't forget the responsibilities so you don't regret it later. We know that regret always comes last.

Nothing else can help you except limits and self-control, if they don't apply to their gambling then I'm sure they will have the same fate in terms of downturns as those who are already addicted. I think most of them forget that self-control because they are too cool to play and too focused on chasing victory there so that they should stop but instead continue to play because they are tempted by what they see until finally well defeat happens to them again.

It should be like that, as you said, indeed we must be a responsible gambler, whatever the results, especially defeat, we must be able to accept it gracefully, because obviously if we are carried away by emotions then we will continue to play without taking into account how many defeats and losses we have experienced. True, regret will always come at the end, so it is better from now on we think about it and avoid something that should not be done.

Quitting gambling is as hard as pressing stop loss in trading. If traders read me, they will understand. Admitting that you are losing more than you are winning is the first step to stopping and stopping spending money on the game.
As a rule, psychologists say that almost all players are real fighters by nature. I mean a strong character and an unwillingness to give up, a desire to go to the end at all costs. And this character trait plays against the personality itself, since in the context of gambling this is nothing more than giving all your funds to the casino. And then - debts, microloans, lies to loved ones and an unrealistic desire to recoup. Push off from the bottom and ascend, but this moment never comes.

Yes, exactly.

It's a powerful addiction in the end, just like alcohol.

"I will never drink again", and then the addicted person goes and gets a drink. There's never a last one.

It's the same with gambling, the gambler goes and thinks the next one will be the last one where they win big, but that last one never arrives.

We can salute them but we must also be like them in trying to refrain from excessive gambling. We want to avoid experiencing so many losses that we must be even stricter in managing our budget. This is all for our good so we will not experience gambling addiction.

Maybe it is difficult to do, but we must keep trying. That's all we have to do so that we can get used to controlling ourselves from excessive gambling. And we can be responsible gamblers like others have done.

Self-discipline is difficult but we can do it. And don't forget to have other activities so we don't think about gambling. We can also limit time and money for gambling.

Yes, I know this isn't a long enough break but this process is sufficient for me since I gamble for fun and don't exceed the limits I set without violating my own rules and have low losses. In addition, because I gamble not frequently and regularly but in certain periods, I take such short breaks during these periods. Especially when I examine the last few months, I see that I have had very low losses most of the time and this indicates that gambling is not a problem for me but it's fun for me. Since I'm definitely not someone who always wins at gambling I know when I should be happy if I win and when I should be sad and I don't ignore the games I constantly lose.

I never keep a record of my gambling activities because as I mentioned I have not had a loss that I would regret in a very long time and I think it isn't fun if constant records are kept. For this reason, I don't have any gambling records of my own and I only monitor my gambling activities by checking the deposit-withdrawal and gambling-betting history provided by the casino. Also, since I have long considered gambling as an expensive hobby rather than a method of earning money I definitely don't play for profit.

Just as you stated in your last sentence, I see gambling as a means of fun and for this reason I prefer to play games only with the amount that I will not be upset if I lose, usually until I consume my entire balance and I don't keep a record of this in any way. In the very rare case that I win several multiplier my money, I transfer that money to my wallet and use it again later when I want to gamble or use it for my personal expenses.

People believe that alcohol addiction games have completely different foundations, but in fact they are very similar. The fact is that in each of these cases, a person is trying to achieve a special state of his nervous system, a kind of trance. With alcohol addiction, everything is simple and clear - I got drunk, became drunk. as for gambling addiction, a person tries to enter a state when only he is the master of his life, when everything is simple and clear: here is the bet, here are the chances. And the casino helps him in every way in this, the gaming service pretends to be a simple tool to achieve goals, but in fact the casino of course pursues only selfish goals.

Totally quitting in gambling is indeed very hard to do but pausing a game is easy if you have a conditional breaks setup on your game. I list a lot of scenarios that triggers me for a lose game. I use this experience of mistakes to make my game more control now even in the presence greed.

The word quitting is really impossible to do by a gambler that already exerts a lot of time and effort on gambling because they will keep want to play and win more even if they are losing.



I’m glad that some user appreciate my share of experience. I will contribute more of this later as long as someone here might use this in future when they encounter same scenario.

Though I'm not that big of a trader, I still get the reference and I can definitely understand how difficult it can be to see your trades hitting the stop-loss when you obviously want it to hit the sell target and give you some profit, but when it comes to gambling, stopping actually saves you from incurring more losses whereas in trading, you might not incur losses without a stop-loss but you might get your capital or a portion of it stuck in that trade, especially if you are trading in the spot market.

So, it basically becomes a necessity for a gambler to put a stop to their gambling if they see that it's slowly eating up all their belongings and they are not seeing any profit which isn't the case with trading because one of your trades might fail but you will eventually recover from it and you can get more successful trades after that.

We all can remember it. The only way we can forget it is if we have an amnesia but I think this is a rare condition. The only problem is many of us are hard-headed and can't seem to learn from our past mistakes. Gambling for a while can also mean for a short period of time, so why stop immediately? But if you mean if we are already gambling for a long time and it was mostly the disadvantage is the one that we experience, then yeah. We should stop now even if it's already a little late.

In addition to all that you have said, self control and budgeting is paramount to help any gambler stay healthy in the game and not get to the point of addiction. It's often not emphasize by most persons but the importance of these can not be overly emphasised as when applied the results will definitely be pleasing and Worth trying, it's tried and tested to work effectively.

If a gambler is able to control their shelves as it has to do with their habit in gambling, if they can control themselves enough on how often they visit the gambling site, offline or online, they could set rule's to keep them from often visiting and try to stick to the rules, if they could attain that level of self control such that they don't do what they don want to do at certain time then they would most likely gamble responsibly

Budgeting is important aswell as you know how much you are willing to risk before visiting the casino and you try to stick to it well enough not to spend above your budget at the casino. This helps you save money and cut your losses aswell.

However, they really need to control themselves and have a clear budget before gambling so they will not fall into gambling addiction. If gamblers could have those things, they would not be addicted to gambling and would use gambling as they should because they realize that gambling is just entertainment.

This requires continuous practice because we have our weakest moments as humans. And when we are weak, that's when we can be tempted. But the temptation will not increase because we can immediately remember that this is gambling and we should not just follow our desires.

By having a budget, we can remember how much we can use and not exceed the limits. Otherwise, we will only lose more money and also lose self-control.

That's the thing, gambling is as dangerous as alcohol drinking, if not more.

Of course it can be done in moderation, but the moment it is done beyond moderation, it is a big problem, and not many people are prepared to confront that.

It may be true that some gamblers do not have a clear budget so they prefer to spend their money only on gambling but if this continues of course they will become addicted to gambling and continue to do so without caring about other things and will have a bad impact on themselves with curiosity, selfishness, and greed that arises in themselves. In fact, in my opinion, at a sufficient age we must have our own needs even though we cannot earn our own income yet.

Even with constant practice and also being helped by encouragement or support from those closest to them to stop, it will be useless if they themselves are still hesitant to leave gambling or there is still a sense of wanting to gamble with a high thirst for victory and emotions. If they can control their emotions and control themselves when playing with the aim of just entertainment, maybe there will be no bad effects that can spend all their money. Even if they have a budget that they must pay, in my opinion, for the addict it is not something that can prevent him from returning to gambling again, he can borrow here and there to return to gambling.

I don’t consider my post as speech  because it’s too formal but rather just a sharing of opinion and probably to help other gamblers here especially newbie that encounter struggles when they are pursuing gambling journey.

The popularity of signature campaign for casino in the forum makes the participants involved in gambling as part of their requirements. It’s very to ignore the curiosity to gamble when you are promoting one and consistently reading post about gambling. My main goal on my recent share of opinion is specifically for newbie like you just in case this scenario hits you hard.

I experienced a lot of losses including many huge losses due to my mistakes. I’m proud now that there’s no major losses happening to in most of my gambling game due to my lesson learned from my experience in the past. I will lock now this thread to avoid further unnecessary discussion.
