I’ve been on losing streak for almost 3 weeks of gambling, not daily but in random basis for over 3 weeks. Mostly I play only live blackjack using small bankroll around 50$ to 100$  . No matter what I do, slow play or whatever betting strategy makes me lose since dealer card is always so good around 90% of my game.

What I did is I stop gambling for a week and decided to try different game so that my mind will be fresh and positive. I play slot games and manage to win huge amount that is enough to recover my 3 weeks losses and gain a decent profit. I’m just using small bet on slot games when I hit the huge jackpot.

In conclusion, if you are already having a rough time on playing same game over and over despite you have a good experience on it before. Trying new games to you and taking break will help you to snap out of your losing streak because chasing losses usually make us trap on our losses.

---

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

You have said it all.
It's basically entails taking a break or trying out a new casino game. A prolonged losing streak could be some sort of bad mojo broken which do remedy daddy op has said.

Another strategy that could help in breaking the losing stroke could be betting is smaller amongst than you usually do or we higher among not something about your budget that you don't usually do. The individual may also try betting on another gambling site.

Taking a break and switching games worked wonders for you, and I’ve found similar strategies helpful too. A fresh start with a different game can turn things around, not just in terms of wins but also in keeping the gambling experience positive and fun. Remembering to play responsibly and within limits is always key. Here’s to finding joy in the game, no matter the ups and downs!

Well taking break and choosing to play another game work for you but only one works for me and that is to take a break. Usually trying to go into another game after a losing streak won't give a really balanced state of mind because you already having losing mentality that you are fighting to move out of which is the original reason of going into another game, so there is the possibility of chasing those loses back. Maybe you are lucky to have won immediately after changing into another game but to stay away as taking a break does more nerve balancing for me.

You can also set a realistic target/profit per session with play in the same game, do not set the target too high at the beginning.
If it successful, increase the profit target a bit for the next session and if you lose in the previous session, always apply the same target.
Even if you only win little by little, this can make you think clearly before making a bet and your confidence will slowly return.
I always do this as self control so as not to chase previous losses, and I will bet normally again after winning in a few sessions.

Every gambler will have favorite game that they will always play when they have money and time to gamble, this will be the only game that is never abandoned at any time.
But even so, there will always be several other games that will be the next option to continue the game after some time in the main game, usually they will be on the same provider or another provider.
If can't have luck in one game then there are other opportunities in other games too and this is method often used by gamblers.

I personally will try other games that I usually often play on the same provider, but if all that doesn't work then I will try my luck on new game that I have never played.
This can eliminate boredom and feelings of annoyance when only experiencing defeat to favorite player, so that I will not do anything careless or experience emotional increases.
Last resort, if it is still the same as defeat and failure, it is better to decide to stop and rest, this will calm down much more.

A losing streak is quite common for me and probably for other slot players. So, I can't really mitigate such a thing, or in other words, I just stick with my monthly gambling budget. If you have such a mentality, that gambling is just a fun game, then you don't think too much about your losses. It sucks for sure when a losing streak occurs, and changing scenery can help your mental health, but by no means will it improve your luck. It's all random, and when shit is "destined" to happen, no matter what your strategy, the outcome will be the same. Sure, there were times when I stopped playing (cold turkey style) because of prolonged bad luck and decided to use my gambling budget for other means of entertainment. But when the next month I decided to gamble again, it's still completely random, as a wise man said, "Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit."

Quitting for a while can be a solution to ones general losing treak. Most time when lose, one brain may remain unsettled as you try to run after your lost. Quitting for a while will help your brain to settle down and help you make good selection into your gambling prediction. Although I gamble mainly on football and this has been so helpful to me managing my lost.

It works for me and taking a break works better. Cleaning and freshing our minds just as you've done, works for me.

If luck isn't me, it's obvious that I will never win or if I do, they're just for few bets and then I go with a losing streak.

So that seems to be an effective strategy when I am in losing streak, also doing other things that interests me is fine too.

sometimes taking a break when you are losing is the best decision. because by taking a break from gambling, it can refresh our minds, reduce emotions, and make us think better than when we lost. because when our minds are stressed and we force ourselves to keep gambling, usually the result will end in deeper defeat which can make us more stressed and make the wrong decisions and that will lead to something undesirable.

I like this thinking to help us not focus on our losses. If I understand correctly, the idea is to gamble based on your budget only regardless if you are losing or winning because it your way of getting an entertainment without considering the outcome of your gambling.

I like this because this is indeed the right way to gamble what you can afford to lose to enjoy gambling. I once fall victim on chasing losses because I think too much about my previous game but we play based on the availability of our funds dedicated for gambling then we might enjoy gambling without thinking about previous bad result.

To break a losing streak, the best players - in life and in those casinos - understand one thing: you have to change the game. No metaphors, just the hard facts. Switching tables? Brilliant. It shows you're smart, calculating, and refuse to let a bad beat dictate your future. That burst of energy when you finally win – its the feeling that drives the best of us.

I've seen the same principle in action, time and time again. Sometimes the solution isnt about brute force, its understanding the mental game behind it. You walked away, you came back fresh - a textbook example of superior strategy in action. Its about understanding when to stay focused and when to switch tactics, even when dealing with huge risks. You got the right mindset for success. Keep adapting, stay sharp, and that winning streak will be yours yet again.

One thing I realized from your story is that, ●You don't have a gambling budget in the sense that this the amount I will lose and then walk away, ●then secondly at some point you were override by your emotion and started the chasing lose game to try to see if you would recover some of your loses until realized that you are slightly going way off the base, and say hey let me take a break....

This experience happens to so many gambler on daily basis and only people that has self control and decipline can only get out of this, else you would even see some go extent to borrow money in order to recover their loses and the journey continues.

You've done what needed to be done. By stopping gambling for a week, you can calm yourself after experiencing loss.
Playing gambling requires limits so that we don't experience a lot of losses, especially if you have already experienced it. Take this as a lesson for you so that you can be more careful when playing gambling.
We don't need to use more money, especially for gambling because that can trigger our emotions to continue gambling. We have to control our emotions and not get trapped in gambling because it can make us lose even more money.

You are taking the right action in your gambling scenario, which of course is that stopping is the best solution when you are dominated by consecutive losses, especially over a fairly long period of time. No matter how experienced you are in the game, you are still no more than just an ordinary player, which means the possibility of losing will always be there and will always be something that is certain to happen regardless of winning, and this is gambling where there really is no certainty. in terms of producing a win.

But some people usually don't have the ability to accept the fact of defeat to keep themselves okay and not be too dominated by emotions so that in the end they gamble based on the aim of revenge, if they lose money in one game then usually they will continue are there to pursue recovery when in fact this action will only make the situation worse, the game is not in your favor so it is clearly better for us to stop for a moment to rest our minds and then gamble again in other types of games, because it cannot be denied that maybe you have quite good luck in several other types of games, as you experienced here where you managed to recover the situation when you switched to a type of game such as slots. In my case, I usually always do things like this, where when I lose quite a lot of money or half of the total deposit, I usually switch to another type of game.

To change to another game isn't an assurance you are going to get rid of long loss streaks. The randomness of games' outcomes will remain the same, despite the specifc game you are playing. In fact, if you want to stop the curse of losing streak the only guaranteed alternative is to just stop gambling... From my own experience, I've already faced gambling sessions where I was unlucky in one game, so I moved to another one, but the unluckiness still pursued me to the next table. And even if I kept changing to other games, I wasn't able to overcome this bad luck, anyway.

When I identify I'm being particularly unlucky in a determined day, I just give up gambling, instead of moving myself between different house's games expecting more positive outcomes. But that is just me. Each gamble has his personal strategies, preferences and habits. You have to find out what is better for you individually. Just make sure to not spend money you can't afford to lose in the process.

Changing game cant be said as working or not, it will always depend on our luck.
Sometime changing the game may give better result but on the other times, it may give worst result.
I'm sure what you have experienced (win big on slot after bad losing streak on bj) is just because it is your lucky time.
Lets say you have another losing streak with bj next time then you decide to change to slot, dont hope too much that you'll get another big win ;)

When we gamble and end up losing, what we have to do is stop and leave the casino because of course our thinking can become confused if we continue gambling when we have already lost. By going back to gambling, what is clear is that we will lose again, so if it is for To stop a losing streak is in our own control, if we continue to gamble then it is the same as we will most likely continue to lose, and we can stop gambling, that is a way to avoid a losing streak.
Also, as you said, we really have to rest when we lose from gambling, don't let gambling make our emotions overflow, because that will only bring disaster. The best choice when you win is to cash it out, and the best choice when the gambling you do ends up losing is the solution, because as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.

When I was on a losing streak casino wise I often just take a random exclusion period like 48 hours or even 1 week.
Maybe in my mind I think like "if the casino see's I am not coming back, maybe it will throw me a stick next time I do", haha. Of course this is all nonsense since the house always wins anyway.

In sports when I am having a bad streak I change my approach. Often enough I made bets on favourites with smaller odds, unfortunately these also lose a ton. So why not betting the underdog with smaller bet sizes and bigger odds.  ;D

Anyway, it's all just a big gamble, as always.

Yes, of course it will definitely work. Moreover, if we experience consecutive losses, don't keep playing the same game because the dealer will continue to beat you there and spend all your money until it really makes you curious and addicted to gambling until you get trapped in it. I prefer to choose other games like sports betting where I can recover my losses when I lose playing casino games because I know that if I continue to experience a losing streak there it will be very dangerous if it continues.

The only way is to divert our minds to a new game to be able to find a new atmosphere and also to make the mind calmer because that way we don't get caught up in a game that will drain our money quickly, in gambling you have to use your brain more, don't use too much passion. , always think quickly to be able to try changing games so as not to spoil the atmosphere just because it satisfies our curiosity about wanting to win at a game that has already used up our money, don't be too fixated on one game, that's why many gambling sites provide lots of games and we can choose gambling. that can be played there.

Quit the gambling,I lost over 30 million IDR which is well over 1000 dollars or near 2000 don't remember the last time I played and since then boy I have not gambled a single penny and will absolutely continue to do so.There is only one solution to this and that is to stop gambling once and for all.If you continue to play then there is a high chance and high risk that you will lose it all.Trying new games will even get you worse and you will keep losing more so the best thing to do in such case is to truly find the courage and to stop once you have acknowledged that you have lost money in a consecutive way.

Basically this has been the same approach I've always used to gamble because i see it as one of the most effective way of staying positive while gambling even amidst losses, it gives a different kind of confidence in the fact that you will believe that after your break you will be in  the best state of mind to win and most definitely you will mostly win after your break than you would loose. So i see it as Ideal and a very healthy and responsible way of gambling such that you may even not get to addiction quickly because every break is an opportunity to get a whole different mindset on your approach.

Your don't have to gamble continually to be able to make the very best off gambling but the ability to know how well to control your emotions and how well you handle your gambling habit so you can still maintain that habit of been responsible gambling.

You can only experience this backlash if you deposit a money that you can’t afford to lose. 30M IDR is clearly huge for you that’s why you can’t get over. This is huge amount for either that’s why I don’t deposit that amount as my bankroll but my total loss in gambling is greater than that amount if I will do the math now yet I’m not that negative because I get so much fun from my gambling experience with that amount.

I’m not suggesting that you should go back in gambling back rather you will not feel this way if you just play using an amount that is just free money for you.

I am for the love of God as I swear at that time and have kept my vow so far I am not touching a single penny to gamble ever again and that is for eternity,this happened some time ago and I still feel the rage of that day all over me.It was Pragmatic Play and I am saying the name of the provider of slot machines specifically here as they need to be banned as a slot provider,they can make you more than 60-100 consecutive bonus buy without a substantial win,in theory they can give you just a bit over the buy bonus amount but not much over it.All other providers keep you in the loop just a bit yet Pragmatic is the worse of the worse provider no doubt about it.

Taking a break is very necessary when you are in a losing streak as that's the only way you'll be able to evaluate what you are doing wrong. I know everyone has experience a losing streak and I'm sure some of us experience that as we continue we loss more, I think that's just the nature of human but we can learn how to be discipline and play the game based on the created game plan.

Changing of game, maybe it will work but for me I'm more focus on the games that I love to play and that I believe I will win, and having a cold streak is just normal. You are lucky to hit a jackpot, but that doesn't mean that if we follow you, will have a break and we comeback we win a jackpot, it's more like minimizing our losses to be more realistic.

I like this strategy too when you have used one game for some period of time you can change games to see different experience from different games and not using only one game without testing others. Although there are times it is good to stick to the game that is good for you which you are always making money from because if you leave that game foe another game's, you might lose enough ti.e and if you tried to come back again you might not win from the other game again and probably the developers have changed the methods. So the method you were using is not valid again.
But it is good to change games to experience different games in the gambling field.

Changing game A to game B is possible, promising, but not guaranteed. Usually, if I'm unlucky in betting, I change to another game with the same result and still lose, Maybe another solution I could take is to stop gambling for a moment and go get fresh air or reflect for a moment, even if I keep pushing, maybe I will have the same fate too.

I am sure that in the world of gambling, a user who plays based on luck, where he is lucky at that time, that day, of course he has the opportunity to win big, if the user at that time is unlucky, whatever he does, at that time, bad luck is with him, that's my experience, the point is try to stop for a moment, don't gamble for a while, if you feel there is luck in your soul, go gamble again.

I agree with that and I think we had the same result when we changed the game.

I usually play casino games like  Keno, Plinko, and Tome of Life. I also have been on a losing streak on all those games that I mentioned. So I also rested for about 2-3 days thinking about betting for slot games while also reserving my money because I know it's kind of expensive even for the minimum bet. $0.1. That's my limit so I looked for slot games that accepts that minimum bet. Twist gaming is what I saw and I somehow enjoyed the Samurai Dogs and the Drac's Stacks. Luckily, I won a big multiplier in Drac's Stacks and I was a bit surprised that it could really happen.

But I didn't let that go to my head so I withdrew everything afterward and avoided the urge to bet more. It covered all my losses from all my previous games and some profits.

Changing the game works but depends on how I looked at the difficulty of winning at those games per game provider.

There are games that after you've won a big amount, won't give you another taste of it even if you stay loyal to that game. There are games providers like that. In the case of games that I already experienced winning but am currently, on a bad losing streak, I will try my best to stick with it for a long since I already experienced winning big several times there despite losses on the way. Like it testing my patience lol.

Taking a pause in gambling would somehow calibrate your luck. Luck is something we have no control of and if we would push our way 'til we win, we'd just suffer from bigger loss and with that, trying on the next day will at least give way for luck to enter although without assurance, but would be worth trying; that's just how luck works. But sometimes, there are peopl who are having a longer losing streak, perhaps a month or more, then in this case what'w the solution? I'd day it should be the same thing or to completely stop gambling. Chasing profit from gambling in the first place, to the extent of you are depending your financial capacity into it, is a bad thing given the lack of assurance with the outcome. It is okay to expect of profit but never rely your fate of getting rich to something which has that much of risk because it is the same as with taking a shortcut to success. In gambling, if it is for you, then it will come to you without the need of forcing it.

It's true, rest is necessary, in my opinion, not only when experiencing a losing streak. by gambling once and ending up losing, we have to stop to calm our thoughts and also to refresh our thoughts. Gambling that is done unreasonably, such as continuing to play when you have experienced defeat, is not good and it is not recommended to continue gambling when you have experienced defeat, with the term chasing wins or wanting to recover losses, which is just empty talk.

but in my opinion it can still be said that it is better to minimize losses than to continue chasing uncertain wins. Now when we gamble and end up losing, we stop gambling and leave gambling to calm our minds and calm our emotions. then the next day or a few days later, returning to gambling and gambling again is the same as chasing a win, maybe but with a break of a few days, maybe that's better, I mean it could be said to be better than doing excessive gambling, such as spending more money on just one gambling sessions, such as chasing wins or wanting to recover losses.

After losing streak the best we can do is to stop and make a break. It's hard to give any concrete answers to this question, every gambling session is unique in some way, and what we will do depends on the mood at that moment. I experienced many different situations in gambling, we who gamble for years can say that, so what I can say is that changing games will work sometimes, but sometimes it won't, it's not like we have any guarantees when it comes to gambling.

It's gambling in the end, it's on us to try different things and hope that some of it will work and bring some big wins. Many times after changing games I was lucky to hit something big, but just as many times I have experienced a double disaster. So we can play with money we can afford to lose, have fun, and if we are lucky enough we will hit something nice.

That's quite an experience mate. It's really hard to see how much one person could lose continuously. It's part of the gambling game I guess. I read multiple times that it happens like that and you cannot really push the limit if you continue to gamble in that space. It's hard to change and I think what you suggested, playing another game would help alleviate that in some way.

That's my experience as well.

changing the game does not change the outcome. I don't know if it works for other people but it never works for me. even stopping gambling for a certain time after a losing streak didn't change my luck either. ever thought my account was cursed with a losing streak. until finally creating a new account at another casino to try your luck. stupidly it worked even with small stakes. I even got a winning streak even though it wasn't big.

Firstly, I believe it is very inappropriate to call a bad luck streak to be something similar to a curse. It only encourages people to believe in supernatural phenomena which could push them towards quacks and scammers in their desperation to get money out their gambling sessions. In reality gambling (when it is a fair game and there is no rigging of any sort) is completely random and does not have anything to do with magic. Otherwise, magicians or so called practicioners of magic would have economically destroyed the existence of casinos in the face of this planet by now.

Anyways... I have myself seen trapped in bad luck streaks, specifically while playing dices. I have also considered changing of game when I find myself stuck in such situation and I have got positive partial results. In my case, when I lose my wager very quick because of bad luck of dices, I switch to blackjack or mines (most of times blackjack) and I have managed to se a few bucks as consolation, though, it obviously won't compensate for the total wager I have lost to the casino through the whole time. The house always wins in the end, let us not to forget about it, folks.  :P

Stopping gambling as a whole is the best solution here, it doesn't matter, even if for example you come and get involved with the aim of entertainment and pleasure, but if for example it crosses your mind to stop or wants to stop then don't ever hinder or thwart that intention because after all the change in your mindset will change the point. From the perspective of gambling it is very possible to happen or what it means is that one day you may view gambling no longer as a place to have fun but to earn money, there are several cases that have a scenario like this.

On the other hand, I'm sorry to hear about the huge losses you have experienced, I don't know what kind of approach you apply to gambling, regardless of whether you want to make a profit or just for entertainment, but in any case, we have to return to the fact that this is gambling and thank God that now you can Getting out of this stressful zone by successfully restraining yourself from gambling again, and also losing requires recognition and acceptance because this will make it easier for you to stop without holding a grudge against gambling.

I just remembered when I lost my money on soccer games in month then I decided to change my pattern of gamble and also change from soccer to basketball games, along the line I win a very decent amount on my second prediction but it gets to a point when I have to continue betting on the basketball game and almost forgot about football. So when I start losing the same way I was from football to that's when I switched over. We have to change a pattern or the games we put our money on, if we try the smaller odds for long time and they don't win for us, we should also try the bigger odds.

I just took some breaks. A week for me is enough to recalibrate my mind and put it back to equilibrium and be able to make sound decisions again. I don't stop because I no longer have balance on my account, it'
s more about my psychology for me. I need to feel that I am able to weather a new set of uncertainty if ever I get back on gambling again especially if I came on losing weeks of 5 days or more. I don't force myself to play other game. I just need some breaks, if I get any itch I just watch sports and feel the same intensity. I prioritize more that my gambling won't be addictive but more organized way.

Sounds like the old me before when I still believed that casino track our winning progress and let newbie account have a beginners luck. I always create new account before when dice game is still popular and multiple account is allowed. But right now this is not possible since casino is very strict due to their bonuses and promotion.

I experienced also what you shared that’s why I totally can relate. Way back then, I’m always thinking about my previous loss that’s why I can’t break the curse of losing. A long long break helps me to have a fresh start and I focus on mastering the strategy on blackjack to play well with the lowest house edge as possible.

Changing the game didn't snap your streak lol. The game you were playing, maybe you were playing incorrectly. Are you hitting 16s? Are you doubling down correctly? Are you standing correctly? There's more to blackjack then most think and if you play it incorrectly, you lower your odds of winning greatly.

is not easy at all, since it's like a natural reaction, but in this case is much better take a short pause from gambling.
this will help to focus again in gambling with a positive approach and not just "chasing" the losses.
however, with these games lucky based. I am not too much surprised of very long negative streak  ::)

You are aware of the losing streak that occurs, and it is a good step to rest first after the losing streak,
then play another game to make up for the losing streak.

The choice to play slots is actually quite risky as well, you may be lucky enough to hit a big Jackpot on a slot game.
Though, it will only make you lose more if you can't control how long you play.

Losing is a sign that you need to stop and rest.
But sometimes there is someone who is not satisfied with the losses experienced,
so they continue to gamble and take revenge to be able to return the defeat.

But it won't work, because the more to force a win, the more it loses.
This is also because there is no mental readiness in gambling.

When a gambler is on a losing streak, its always hard to find a particular game that would be yield and some times all you can ever think of is how to completely get vacation those winnings as fast as you can but that would just still lead to more losses so what I do is actually just to pause and find other means to compensate for the loses of that deposit i made to my betting account because its better to play safe than to chase loss.

Good to know that you already have the right frame of mind to take a break which is the most idle thing to do at this stage of time, and no one should get carried away by they past winning experience to be a deciding point to how much they can go more, but once you notice a deep lose in a consistent manner then better to just take a bow and free up your Brian for a while and then try your luck next time.

But then I am not sure of the aspect of changing the games, but sure taking a break will definitely help you alot.

You stop playing lmao. Whether it be taking a break for a couple of hours or playing something else (maybe even something that doesn't involve money), anything that can piss you off you're probably better off trying to do something completely different just to let it pass through. It's not a universal rule that you have to continue playing till you win, till you lose all your money or till you win your money back. It's, at the end of the day, something you do to have fun. Pushing it to experience the opposite is pretty contrary to the original goal.

Depends on the game though. Blackjack and Poker, if you don't really know how to play the game can lower your chances of winning. Either way I'd still just stop no matter what game since a lose streak is a lose streak.

Kinda works for me and that's I believe trying to shoo the bad luck that's in me. We've got a lot of beliefs that makes us think that bad luck or losing streak can be gone by doing something else. With this, it's very common for a gambler to revert his attention to another activity aside from gambling when we're on a losing streak. It's a common misconception that our bad luck comes from ourselves and we need to do something for it to be gone. Yes, it's a common misconception because there's really no basis on it but it is working for many of us and if that's what we feel then so be it and just do your thing on how you remove that losing streak and much worse when we describe it as a curse.

I wouldn't play a game that I don't know and won't be a heavy bettor on it. But if I am starting out and trying to know it, it's expected that you have small chance of winning on those games but on the case of OP. I don't think that he doesn't know how to play those, he's one of the most active gamblers that I've seen and that's definitely not him that doesn't know what he does and what he gambles. In all sense, it's true that just don't gamble the games that you don't know if you don't want to lose that much.

Taking a break surely works the magic the way it is supposed to. Even from stressful life situations or in a job that demands too much, taking a break has a way of refreshing a person that they see things from a better perspective.
If as a gambler one losses too often, taking a break in the form of traveling to another town or region or going on vacation could help booster one to attain a wining streak and mentality once back home.

If I were you, I would have taken it as a sign to get off the gambling chair and do something else. Losing that long and that much is something I wouldn't want to happen to me. I cannot imagine how cruel it must be to lose that much, let alone that extended period of time. What I would have done is to quit altogether and find a new thing to do that makea me entertained and gives me money on the side.

That is a very good idea and I have been thinking lately about this a lot.What is that makes me happy while it makes me money or even if it does not make me money I can still have side money by doing that and the simple answer was to stop gambling all together and call it a day.No matter how hard it is to quit gambling especially when you are losing in continuous ways it is a step that is needed to be taken or otherwise the word you used "cruel" it is true in the true meaning of that word,I know from personal experience that this is the way a gambler feels when he has lost quite a lot of money and thinks to himself in full regret,why the heck did I do this?

I would definitely do the same on which i would really be that go to some place and breath some fresh air or trying out to distract myself about the disappointment that i do have in gambling, because if you would really be trying out to get those emotions overcome your brain and ended up on being compulsive then you are just basically putting up yourself into possible mess up with your life because you do really know that
you would really be likely be chasing up those loses that you are currently experiencing.

We do know that gambling is pure luck
Gambling is for fun
Gambling is for leisure
Gambling is for entertainment
Gambling is for past time

They are all the same but people do really still end up on chasing or playing out for the sake of money, this is where people do mess up their lives.

basically doing the same thing as you do, take time off from gambling, cool off, clear my head, try a new game, etc... doing those things doesn't necessarily mean that your luck will be on your side and you'll start winning. it is just a way to refresh yourself mentally and people shouldn't expect to start winning after doing those things.

Dont let that disappointment or anger would goes into your head because once it does then you would really be playing up even more until you do lost it all.
This is typically that do happens on most gamblers is that on the time that they would really be experiencing those losing streaks then this is the moment you would be thinking that the next bet might
be a win and this one would continue until it would really be piling up until you would be losing all of your balance.If you are a certain person who do lacks or not really that good when it comes to self control then you are really just that basically putting up yourself into a big problem later on, unless if you are really that purposely losing that fund or capital on such gambling sessions.

Not all would really be that good when it comes to self control specially if we do speak or talk about gambling addicts on which we know that this is something
that will really be that too hard for you to stop midway.

Considering losing many times in a row or not turning in profit from gambling a curse is textbook gambler's fallacy.
Yes, your luck could turn, but it may as well not. You might lose too many bets in a row, because in reality your chances to win or lose each bet are entirely independent from each other. Matter of fact, the chances of winning are also independent from external events as well. So don't consider anything as a viable solution to break a curse.

To be honest the advise of playing a different game instead seems like nothing impressive. It's possible to do, but doesn't guarantee any different results. In fact slots have a much higher house edge than blackjack too so I don't think it'll matter in a positive way for most people too, at least statistically speaking.

It's your fault for keeping games like this on when you could've taken the time to rest and recuperate lost mental strength and finances. You're attributing your situation to bad luck when the only thing here that's bad is your self-control when it comes to gambling. You did stop playing one game but you switched to a different one and I don't think that's a good way to unwind and recuperate lol, that's like quitting league of legends for a hot minute and playing DoTA instead. You're still playing the same toxic genre of game, you're just blindsided by the differing bells and whistles between them.

What I would really suggest you to do, and pardon my virtue signaling here but I just couldn't see why you wouldn't be a little more prudent with your money and gambling behavior, but here goes:

1. Start tracking how many times you have already lost for the day, doesn't matter if it's between one or two different types of game, if it's a loss, you tally it.
2. Start tallying your wins, same as with the losses.
3. Set a strict number of wins and losses you could only incur on a regular basis, and make it a point to quit for the session or for the day soon as you hit that milestone/checkpoint.

Be smart for yourself and for your money mate. Start becoming more responsible with your gambling, and don't blame it on trivial things lol.

There are people who are given the taste of a win, and since they are able to win once, they think they can do it again effortlessly the next time. What they do not know is that the platform is just luring them to spend more in order to get more from their pockets. After such wins, they will experience losses like never before, but since they think that it's easy to win just like before, they'll continue betting and betting, and will have a tunnel vision on what's really going on.

After a series of losses, I think a gambler should lay off the bets and just do something else to not get too much into it. It may not be as effective, but it sure as hell will save the gambler some money.

Changing games doesn't really apply to me so there's not other way but taking a break as well. There is no particular timeline but it usually takes a week too since most games in the Premier League are played on a weekend. I also avoid betting on sports like the NBA which has daily games.

We all have experience our losing streak in gambling, and I should say that’s really hard most especially if you become uncontrollable with your own actions. And if you keep chasing all your losses, you will definitely end up losing them all. So I believe taking a break from gambling would be the best option. It actually works for me. But I have this fear in trying another games, because for me once you are already in losing streak, most often that will continue to happen even if you try out other games. That’s why stopping from gambling would be the best key. And just return into gambling when you think you have freshen up, and is ready to beat again with the house, although it’s always the house that always wins.

Trust me, i have already experience this stuff on which trying out to make some switch in between games on which i do believe that it might be able to changed up completely
when it comes to luck factor but ended up even more loses and thats the time you would really be making out some realizations that switching up the game doesnt change the outcome. Luck does come on a very random manner on which there's no way that you could really be able to tell on when it would happen and this is why its really important that you should really know on when to call it a day
or would really be having a break time on the time you are experiencing those loses.

There are really moments in gambling that no matter how you do make out adjustments but still ended up on a loss. You make yourself that impulsive? You do lose even more.
This is why you should really be that careful on dealing with those kind of decisions because it would make the situation got more worst if you wont really
be that mindful and careful.

Pausing is also for me as finding a new game or looking for another game won't break the losing streak. The emotion is quite different if you will try to continue playing after losing because the eagerness to chase your losses is quite high. And so you may find yourself in trouble if you will not stop what you are doing.


If you are playing games based on luck, definitely, luck will always play a role in your games. So even if you change your game or pause or stop for a bit, once you get back, your chance of winning doesn't change. But your mental alertness may have different effect on how you play your games.

If i'm having a lot of bad sessions and my luck isn't changing anytime soon i'd lower my bankroll and slowly endure the streak. Switching to a different game can be a good alternative to help you power through your losses, but it's not guaranteed to work, and it's more like a coincidence if it does end your losing streak.

Aside from this, choose the games you enjoy, and try to think less about your losses, so you won't be encouraged to chase whenever you start losing.

Pausing for a while will help it. Even if you don't change game, when you pause for a day or two or at least give it 5 days and gamble back on weekend, that will surely help refresh your mind to get rid of the bad vibe and jinx. It will also help you reduce the potential more losing, because gambling out of frustrations will lead to more losses.
Lucky break for you as you have earned back what you've lost in the last week. That's how gambling works though, sometimes we get luck and extremely lucky, and sometimes  we get so unfortunate with bad lucks and that losing streak really suck. There's nothing you can do about it though, that's why pausing and put a stop on it for the mean time is the only way to get rid of it.

Everyone already agrees that taking a pause and maybe switching the type of game one gambles on, would be a good way to break the curse of a losing streak.
While that is true, has any one losing, ever tried engaging more in mental exercises like reading and maybe some reps just to get pumping? Also, changing the environment where one stays to gamble should do a bit good if one still decides to continue gambling in same game instead of trying out another game.

Reading and aerobics done lightly, should help stimulate the mind and readiness to make good decisions or predictions during gambling too.

Taking a break and trying to play another game is the best solution when we are on a losing streak - there is no need to force ourselves to play the same game over and over again, because that will only waste money and make us increasingly unable to control ourselves. It's better to take a short break, whether it's 1 day or more, then we can try our luck again on the same game or on another game which will usually produce a different outcome.

Usually I will stop for some time and usually it will be longer than the break time I usually take in gambling, and I think stopping longer will give freshness to our minds so there will be no doubt to return to playing. I only play slot games, dice or plinko and that's the only thing I'll go back to playing even if it's a game that makes me go on a losing streak.

Losing streaks are definitely experienced by all gamblers, especially if they are very active, and as long as players only gamble using money that we can afford, losing is definitely not a problem, and players will be able to return to playing at any time because losing streaks do not affect their finances.

That is good advice for everyone because by resting for a while, they can forget for a moment about their gambling losses. Taking a break from a losing streak will make you try not to think about the defeat. You can also calm yourself down due to the defeat and think about what needs to be improved.

There is no need to gamble hard, let alone experience consecutive losses. We have to regulate how much we lose in gambling. If we have experienced defeat, we should immediately stop gambling.

There's still plenty of time to gamble. We also don't need to spend too much money playing gambling. So if you have experienced a losing streak, immediately stop gambling to calm yourself.

Having several losing sessions in a row can be difficult to handle at an emotional level, as even if gamblers know they cannot win long term against the casinos, they still want to experiment some short term wins, so this is a situation that could easily spiral out of control if gamblers are not careful.

Probably the best way to deal with is by just taking a break, this way even if your chances of making the money you have lost back are zero, at least the chances you lose even more money is zero as well, making it easier to clear your mind and avoid the common mistake of chasing your losses.

Well, playing poker, similar to you but with nuances.

Losing streaks are just part of the many random results that, since they do not favor us, we call them that way. If you play an EV+ game like poker, you just have to continue playing until the losing streak "ends". But since we are human, sometimes so many bad results can affect our game and make us play even worse. Therefore, when we have losing streaks it is better to play less and take more time to review our game.

What has happened to me similar to you is that sometimes when you are fed up with losing, I have tried another modality, like playing a multi-table tournament, or changing the room, and many times I have had positive results. That has nothing to do with whether the streak is over or not. These results are also some of the many random results, which we categorize.

In any case, moving to another game or modality I think it brings a positive psychological factor because in your case, for example when playing Blackjack you count the results that keep appearing as part of the bad streak you already have, and if in four hands you win two and lose two you think that you are still in a bad streak and that you are not out of it.

However, if you change and play slots, it is like starting over and you tend to see the results with a more optimistic prism.

First, of course it is very difficult to regulate emotions when experiencing a losing streak. And that will make you want to chase your losses by continuing to play and hoping to win. That is the wrong mindset!

Personally, when I'm on a losing streak, the first thing I do is stop gambling and look for another activity. Any loss will have a negative impact on you. It will give you negative energy that will make you do bad things like keep playing until you win.

After that I will take a break from gambling for some time. And when I have enough positive energy I will go back to gambling if the desire arises. I'm not a gambling addict so to be honest I gamble just for fun and I can enjoy it.

I think this is more efficient, and you are right—what will happen if you switch gambling games and keep on losing? then a gambler will worsen their frustration and losses, right? We have the same philosophy that I'd rather find another activity than continue to play the same gambling games and also switch to different gambling games. I sometimes play video games or watch anime or vlogs; in that way, I can refresh my mind and my emotions, and when I'm ready again, I will gamble, but of course it will take some time because I will first refresh my mood and also my funds. 

But the thing is, many gamblers are still hoping that changing or switching to another gambling game will make them win, which is not always happening. Maybe for the OP, he got better and lucky in switching to another game, but that's not the case for all gamblers.

When I hit a losing streak in a game I usually enjoy, I do something similar—I take a step back. Sometimes, I’ll take a complete break from gambling to reset. Other times, switching to a different type of game can really help. It’s not just about trying to win back what was lost but about changing the scenery, so to speak. It refreshes my mindset and often brings back the fun aspect of gambling, which can get lost in the frustration of continuous losses.

The key, I’ve found, is to recognize when you’re no longer enjoying the game and to remember that gambling should always be about entertainment first. Taking that break or switching games not only helps break the cycle of losses but can also bring back a clearer perspective on why we play in the first place. So yes, changing games has worked for me, much like it did for you, and it’s a strategy I recommend to anyone facing a similar situation.

Nice one.

But we can't really stop the curse of losing streak in gambling, we can only slow it down and reduce the amount in every losses.

Honestly, gambling should be very easy for everyone if they choose to go the lowest risks possible.

There is no matter how smart you are, you will lose in gambling, but if you are someone who want to always win you will start losing more than usual.

Smart gamblers take their time off gambling and come back only when they feel like enjoying some game, its not a must to win from gambling but losing is way too possible.

I would rather give away a dollar to gambling in a week than a 10 dollar every week, losing a dollar every week is so doable that I won't even notice of losing money at all, and this is the way it should be.

There is a standard form for analyzing human actions. 
This form includes answers to two questions. 
The first question is: what was done well?  Second question: what could have been done better? 
By answering these two questions, you will not fall into excessive reflection.  You remain in the zone of optimism, and this is very important for maintaining a positive psychological attitude.  At the same time, you analyze the causes of losses incurred and build tactics to prevent or minimize these losses in the future. 
With this approach to analysis, the losses incurred will not lead to a deterioration in a person’s psychological mood; they will be considered as a way to become better and more efficient in the future....

Right, one of the things that should be done to temporarily forget the series of losses is to rest, because when we rest, our mind will reset and we are refreshed, we will have a better chance to think of a better way to win. It is also necessary that when you keep seeing your defeat, you should also know when to stop because when the situation is like that, it is not good to continue it, just pause, breathe and rest so that you can think better we are still well for the next gambling session we will do.

Glad to hear that you have recovered from your 3 weeks losses. For me, when I lose when gambling, it doesn't affect me that much because I gamble with what I can afford to lose. Although it doesn't affect me that much, I still have this habit when I lose, I take a break or even play again the next time when I have enough funds to gamble. When I'm experiencing loss during my play, I always tend to switch different games to see how will play from trying out different games. Thinking that maybe it's the game why I'm losing consistently haha. But so far, switching on different games also helped me to recover some of my losses. And when I switch games and still lose, that's the time I stop and try my luck again the next time I play.

Yes, changing game works for me, definitely. It doesn't mean I necessarily start winning on another game, but at least I become less frustrated. When you lose on the same game all the time it's annoying, isn't it? And I gamble to fun first of all, it's no point in gambling if you are getting frustrated in the process. If you are losing badly on a specific game, my advice - change it immediately.

Well you do got the point on which on the time that you are losing money on a type of game then switching games could really ease out that kind of disappointment and anger on which
it is really just that a normal thing to wipe off or lessen out that kind of impulsive feeling on which this one really works and i have been into this kind of situation too
but im not really that expecting for other wins on other games. On the time that i have already transferred but still ends up on more loses then i do simply quit up and dont look back.
You are really that making yourself put up on such situation where you do get pissed and annoyed which if you dont have that good control towards yourself then
you would really be making more deposit and would really be like that a madman.

Yep, everyone has different approach which they use to relax from a losing streak. What works for you might not work for others. Being on a losing streak is certain and a normal situation in gambling.

Once am losing so much on a particular game, I take a break. This time refreshes me and also creates a medium I ask what and why? happened that lead to such results even if its normal in gambling.
Changing the game for me isn't enough, the frustration, actions taken earlier can stil affect you in the new game as sometime you will tend to revenge or recover from those loses.

The simple advice if am to use such word,  remains you take a break and you see yourself coming back refreshed and prepared.

I’m confident enough to say that I’m playing proper Blackjack to the minimum house edge with the use of Blackjack strategy matrix and a little bit of card count.

The problem relies on the deck and luck that time. I brought up this issue before which most of the card in the deck are small numbers which doesn’t make sense as normal set of card decks. Dealer is always Blackjack, 20 or Hard 21 on most the game which is very hard to snap out the losing streak.

I’m playing the same Blackjack strategy for a long time and earns a decent profit in the past before this shit streak happened.

For me I would just take a break from gambling, I don't really like to try out other games I only play on games that I am comfortable with.
Whenever I am on a lose streak I would try to lessen the risk or be contented with small wins, and I don't really chase up my loss from my previous deposits, whenever I deposit to gamble I consider it as a fresh start and ignore the previous loss.

This is so me... I believe that if I want to win consistently, I need to focus on the game that I love to play and that it makes me believe that I could really win. Changing a game although we know it but it's not really our favorite is just like trying our luck, if we win good but if we are really unlucky, it doesn't matter on what games you'll playing, you'll still lose in the end because you will become indiscipline with your bankroll management.  

There's more to gambling than just cards, dice, and slots. All of that is just window dressing. It's about how risky things make you feel. For some, the thrill and risk are what keep them going. It's not really ending a losing run; it's just making the next one worse

I know because I've been there. It doesn't help to switch games when I'm having a bad run. Taking a step back is the only real answer. To stop losing, not to find another way to lose. It's not the gambling that you have to fight, it's yourself. Not winning the prise is the real win; leaving when the fun is over is the real win

Do you really want to end the streak? Stop wanting to play in the first place. Take a moment to relax and honestly think about what you're feeling. If all you want to do is have fun, then bet small, enjoy yourself, and don't worry about losing. If that last score is what you want, know that the best way to win that game is to not play at all

Fresh starts means no pressure or nothing to chase, it's a good start to try your luck and not to aim for recvering your previous losses, gambler who can manage to take a break and pause after sufferring from a huge defeats may have that chance to recover not in a quick process but with calm mindsets they will be able to make something decent and grab that money back.

It should not be a pressure but instead a good will and determination not to let your emotions to dominates, good mind control and balance with your finances, both works alongside to prevent losing more.

This is the exact thing i will also do or give as a suggestion to anyone found under this same condition, we cannot keep acting like a novice and expect that something should come forth for us, we are seeing it clearly that it is evident in us we are already loosing and going far in it, does that alone speak nothing to our thought, the earlier the better crucial steps or decision is made in quitting and allow the day to go and we gat prepared for another time than chasing after the loss and the losses keep compounding.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. What I do when I'm losing constantly in a single gambling session is I keep changing games, and if I see I'm still losing on every game I'm trying, then I take a break for a few hours, I keep the remaining funds in the account and come back later to play with it, I wouldn't say all the time, but most of the times I manage to win when I come back, and even if I don't win a lot, I at least don't keep losing constantly.

I don't gamble for money, I know I can't make a lot of money from gambling unless I'm extremely lucky which I know I'm not because I have never managed to win anything significant, but whenever I'm gambling, I try my best not to lose my money very quickly which is why I do this.

Every person or gambler has their own way of managing and especially minimizing emotions, such as thinking that when they make a new deposit everything will be repeated or what this means is a new start. On the other hand, I can't say whether this mindset will make it easier. whether you want to restore the situation or not, because it is clear that the possibility of losing is still a certain thing even though you are in a new gambling session, meaning that winning or losing is still a result that cannot be known early on.

But overall having a mindset like this will at least be useful for minimizing your emotions so that they don't dominate, because as in several cases that have happened, the inability to accept the fact of defeat can make your emotions run wild which in the end leads you to many unreasonable and irrational decisions that can potentially increase the amount of losses.

When it comes to losing money in gambling and making efforts to stop it, different people do different things that works for them and helps them to stop their losing streak. Like you said about changing games to stop your losing streak, others also does same and it works for them but there are people who have other strategies. Personally, when I'm on a losing streak and tries to start winning against without getting my desired results, I simply avoid gambling that particular period and come back to it when my instincts directs me to start gambling again. Most of the times you I've adopted this strategy, it worked perfectly well for me but doesn't know if another person will get same result of he tries it as well

First, let me congratulate you on your winning, but endeavour to manage yourself and your gambling portfolio better next time so that the losing streak will not be too much. Wagering between $50-$100 per bet if I read you correctly is high for me, unless you are such a person that has enough money to fall back at.

Aside from that, I always say that there is no perfect advice in gambling, and what works for you now may not work for another person. You may even try to replicate it later without getting the same result anymore. That's gambling for you. People are losing in slot games too, and turning to another game can never be an automatic means to win, it was just your lucky day.

However, one sure piece of advice in this regard is for the gambler to ensure to take a break. It might be for days, a week or more, it doesn't matter, but to ensure that the gambler successfully cools off and stops the frustration that the losing steak had caused.

Study what you are getting wrong. Have a method and understand when to stop. Change the sport/game, cool your head and come back with a new method, a new way of betting. It's literally changing what you need.

Even taking into account the fact that the odds are always in favor of the casino, the outcome of individual games/sessions is always a random variable. This means that with a certain probability there will be a player who will win 100 sessions in a row (if he does not play often, imagine that this will last half a year) or a player who will constantly lose. This is not unusual if we are looking at millions of players. Naturally, from the point of view of the players with whom this happens, this is an incredible anomaly since they pay attention only to their own results and have no idea how others are doing.
As for me personally, I’m used to long series of losses because I prefer betting and odds above 10. For me, winning is already an anomaly, haha.

Changing the way of betting is something that would come pointless basing up on what kind of game you are dealing off with because if we are pertaining on a game on which it is really a game of luck
then no matter how many times you would be changing, if you are unlucky then you would really be definitely lose no matter how many times you would really be changing but if we are talking about sports
betting or something which is strategical then you might really be having that chance but of course luck would really be still the main deciding factor whether you would really be a winner or loser.

Losing streak then if you are really that experiencing up such thing then you would really be definitely needed up to stop completely once you are on such condition.
Dont force yourself on trying out to catch up with those loses and trying out to break even because once you do find yourself on having such situation then it could really be
that be worsen out even more.

The losing streak is the most frustrating thing in the Gambling world and I believe everyone who is a gambler has experienced this and the difference between the gambler is that some persons actually know when to stop but for other they live up with the mentality of thinking that they could actually recover and win something huge or recover from the loses they have already enquired.

Yeah, just play other games to somewhat stir away from the bad luck that you used to play. Or if you are playing online, maybe switching other casinos as well. Or even uses different gadgets, like borrowing my wife's mobile phone and then connect to a different wifi because when I have a losing streak, I'm thinking that the casino might be tracking my mobile phone and my ip address and "does not want me to win". Or let someone play for me, like my brother-in-law, just me sitting beside him but not deciding what to bet.

Or if I play in a brick and mortar casino, let's side in Casino A, my favorite casino is not letting me win, then go to Casino B.

Yes, I mean it in the sense of changing the game, like betting on football or something along those lines. Because if he depends on luck to bet and hasn't been winning for days, the best thing to do is for him to review everything and not continue losing. Do you agree?

The easiest way to get rid of emotional stress when I am on lossing streak, is by reducing the rate at which I gamble or give it a break of about 1 to two weeks after which I may come back and continue playing again.  Sometimes if my previous amount I was playing with was big, I will reduce the amount I use to play in other not to be too much affected in one way or the other.

When you losing streak especially in 3 weeks period of time I would consider to break and Stepping away from gambling for a while because it can help clear your mind and reduce emotional stress. you cannot chase your lose in the past because the margin is very thin because make huge win or jackpot is slim too. Manage Your budget: It's important to manage your budget effectively to minimize losses.

Or do like I do watch other people play game when your budget is empty

Sorry to hear that you are in such a long losing streaks. For me the losing streak is usually just one or two days and then taking a break really helps me. When the dealer beats you 90% of the time then there is definitely something wrong. In BlackJack the winning should be more around the 50/50 levels, especially if you are playing regularly and a long time. The higher our played rounds the closer we should be getting to the expected value. Maybe you need to change your strategy up a bit, but even then it will be hard to win round when the dealer has you beat all the time. My advice would be to take a break from BlackJack and enjoy some other games. You can always try and recover your losses in a few weeks again once you forgot about the terrible losing streak. Slots is a good way to get your mind cleared again because you don't need to keep track of so many cards and constatly adjust your strategy. 

Agree! That's how we supposed to do once we experience huge and long period of lose streak, in that way we can think well and we can carefully plan our next move once we are ready in doing gambling again. if we just let ourselves in a situation where we continue to lose, it is possible that it will end up in a bigger problem because there is a big chance that we will move the money that is not meant for gambling because we are at the peak of our emotions that we want to continue the gambling to recover what we have lost, but the truth is that we are running out of money more and more because we are no longer able to concentrate and focus on what we are doing.

That is why we should rest as often as possible after gambling. Maybe it seems trivial, but we really need rest after gambling. Playing gambling requires concentration, and when you lose in a row, it clearly disturbs your concentration and will make you tempted to continue gambling.

Taking a deep breath is also useful for returning our focus to gambling and we can think clearly before making a decision. But most gamblers don't do this but instead are triggered to continue gambling. They think it can recover their losses in gambling.

Experiencing consecutive losses is indeed painful, but we should immediately stop gambling to avoid losing all our money. It would be better to prevent losing all the money than actually to lose all the money.

very important to make sure that you have that mindset to leave instead of keep chasing your losses, as if you keep your chasing chances that you might overlook your budget and you'll overspend your money, resulting to lose more, gambler who can't control their feelings most of the time leaves the casino with big regrets.

You can't beat the house that's the reality, if you keep suffering from a losing streak better to leave your gambling and find other things to keep your mind busy.

It helps to avoid losing more and more and it will give you enough time to find that refreshments, comeback when you already have fresh and clearer mind.

Rest is most advisable action to be done after encountering those losing streak. People who experience this should stop looking at something came up on their mind that there's something can help them to eliminate the bad vibes they are experiencing. Maybe while its early they should think about not to continue and stop chasing their losses since if they chase for sure more troubles will come on them and they might regret their decision not to stop especially if they lose some money that they can't afford to lose.

Its really painful to encounter consecutive losses that's why other became so mad and troll to the threads of the casino. To avoid getting into this situation a gambler should stick with the amount they can afford to lose and know to quit immediately if they are not feeling well to continue or  they are already gaining.

It's the emotion that is killing our passion in gambling, if we don't understand the risk fully, then that's for sure that we will become too emotional when we experience a losing streak. Actually, losing streak is quite normal for people who constantly gamble, we just have to ensure that we are realistic in handling risk, otherwise we will experience this from time to time and we always end up making a bad decision.

Signs that we are becoming irresponsible, if we cant control ourselves and we keep chasing our losses, with doing this consistently, it will make our gambling journey short as we don't have an infinite bankroll, so sooner or later we will get busted.

Whether we do engage with luck or strategic based, losing streaks could really be possibly happen but this is mostly that more rampant with casino games. This is why it is really that important that you should really be wary about those probable things that could really happen along the way because we know that gambling is a game of chance or simply being lucky. You would really be finding yourself to be that being impulsive if you are someone whose really that not good when it comes to emotional aspects then you are really that putting up yourself on such possible risk on busting it up
and would possibly be making yourself that getting addicted.

Trying to break or stopping the curse of losing streak? Then the best thing i would say is to stop completely on that particular day. Better to avoid yourself that being too emotional
because on the time that you would really be finding yourself that being impulsive then most likely you would really be making deposits even more.
This is why it would be best that having that kind of break or complete stop midway or into such condition.

There is no prohibition to continue gambling again or by depositing again, it's just that we need to see ourselves whether we can afford to lose money again because that's for sure, if we can afford it then no problem, but if we are not ready to lose money again, we should not be rash. Instead of inviting trouble, it's better to avoid it. Because basically no one wants his life to be full of problems, but if it is done then we should be able to accept the risks.

Chasing or getting a win that has been lost is impossible just like eliminating the curse of defeat that is certain to occur in gambling, it is impossible to get rid of.  The solution is to be aware of the defeat that is certain to occur and not to mind it.

True, when we experience a losing streak then obviously the pleasure will change with tension along with some other pressures, basically anyone will never like the name of losing but this is gambling which is always about two possibilities, namely between winning or losing, we will never know when we can win but losing will always be a sure thing. This means that this is the reason why we are advised to gamble with the amount we can afford to lose, because by only putting the amount we can afford to lose then at least when we lose then we will be able to minimize the occurrence of emotions in us that can make the atmosphere of pleasure turn into pressure.

Having a responsible approach to gambling has always been the key to long-term safety, I'm not saying that you will never lose by having this approach but what we must understand is that by having a safe approach then we will not experience too large numbers of losses, because if we gamble in the wrong way then obviously you will often be dominated by emotions that will always make the session end in a much worse situation.

I don't know if managing risk in gambling is something that can truly be done over the long run where we have absolutely no control over such period because sometimes as you say the emotions make us do something so stupid like continuing gambling until we lose all the money when we were winning big money  and kept continuing led by false emotions.

This happens quite commonly during gamblers and that is why if you check the chats of reputable casinos you will see some very rare huge or max wins during a long period of time and you will see a huge amount of losing bets,the bets are quite heavy in amounts put into them,most of these got busted trying to hit the max win with a huge bet by buying the bonus of slot machines.

I don't know how you think there can be any other future than losing at slot games, they tell you right up front that for every single play that you make - you're going to lose a certain amount of money on average. That means your bank roll will dwindle away to zero if given enough time. You cannot beat the simple math that is constantly going on behind the scenes, every single time you play a slot game the odds reset to zero and the casino doesn't owe you any sort of wins - in fact they get rich because you lose. They do the same thing on a massive scale, taking money out of the pockets of people who deposit and putting it into their own accounts. Only when you realize that will you break free.

There are factors that affects our chances of winning but the ones that matter the most would be the luck factor and it can come randomly, so be sure to come back on those games you think are not giving you a win anymore because they might give you again this time around. It is only normal that big wins come very rarely and if you are a casino owner, would you like to make your games more softer? I am sure you wouldn't too.

The best method to avoid a losing streak is to relax a bit from gambling. This is proven and tested already by many gamblers including my self and the longer you don't play, the more the luck you can recover.

Without rest, a person's emotions will increase and they can lose control. It will make him gamble without self-control too so he can use all his money to gamble. It can cause you to lose all your money that cannot be recovered easily.

If they don't stop and continue to pursue their losses, they will regret it because it will result in even bigger losses. They must be able to stop themselves from gambling before they lose more. That is why if someone has experienced defeat, he should immediately stop gambling to calm his mind.

A person's emotions become unstable after experiencing several defeats, especially consecutive defeats. He will lose control of himself and will not remember that it was a sign for him to stop immediately. We have to stop gambling as soon as possible before things get worse.

I think you should change your attitude to gambling or stop thinking about losing. I think you have already programmed yourself on "I am on a losing streak" and follow that plan. I believe it is somehow similar when we tell ourselves that we cant do something. For example in sports people say "I cant do that" or "That is impossible to do", and when they try, they fail. That is why parents motivate their kids, or coach yell "you can do it" and they finally succeed.

In your situation, it will be best to think that you will win, and you will start noticing that you actually win. Probably among all your losses, you dont see wins or pay little attention to them. Change that. Start to think that you "will win next bet", but not "someday I will definitely win".

I understand your feelings when you are going through a losing streak. Perhaps you need to change the atmosphere and look for positive things to avoid making wrong decisions. I know many people who have lost themselves because of wrong decisions. Normally, we gamble and want to win, but when the real experience is not as expected, confusion and irresponsible actions arise afterwards. Anyway, continue to observe your own behavior and I don't want to talk too much about gambling addicts, but I really see that people are hurting themselves with their behavior. The simplest thing is to change immediately change old behaviors and move to accepting different things.

Loosing streak I would say is unconditional but most times I think yes quitting for awhile is a better procedures,nothwithstanding the fact that your trying to chase after your loss which is not advisable but with that you need to stay away from betting or gambling so as to know a better pattern or chances of recovering from it.

So I think stopping the curse of loosing the streak will help maintain a balance for you and like you said settle your brain for effective results later on.

I've been down that frustrating road of continuous losses too. Taking a break, like you did, often works wonders for me—it's like hitting the reset button on my luck. When I dive back in, trying out different games, especially ones I wouldn't usually go for, injects a bit of excitement back into the mix. It's funny how sometimes, just when you least expect it, a change in scenery (or in this case, games) can turn things right around. Shifting gears to slots or other light-hearted games has definitely brought some unexpected wins and, more importantly, brought the fun back. Looks like a playful reminder to enjoy the ride, win or lose!

Losing is something that no one is ever happy about weather gambler or non gambler. Sometimes it is just because luck is not on our side and nothing more. If you feel like you are losing too much you could probably take a break or possibly reduce the amount you stake to help also reduce the amount you tend to lose if you eventually lost the stake or bet.
As a responsible gambler it is very important for you to be able to know how to manage your gambling wins and losses especially in cases like this. And addict or someone who is probably not very observant may fail to notice that he is losing more frequently and thus should try to manage it properly.

wow changing game for a week then recovering all your losses from that 3 weeks of losing streak in black jack? congrats with that mate and I think i am familiar with that strategy .
that is what we called  Pahiyang that you need to take a break in a certain game and try your luck in different one in which I also did couple of times but not as winning big like yours.

101% of gamblers do really be able to experience that losing streak on which i could say that this is really that a very normal thing that would really be able to experience and we've really been that comes into a point
 that we would really be trying out to test different types of games or tending to jump just because we do believe that we might be able to changed out the outcome on the time that we do play on which this is a common approach or condition that we might be able to do along the way. So its a personal choice but once you do able to realize that this is something that doesnt work and you have experience it for yourself then
it would be normal that you would really be making out adjustments because you've been aware or already that been having that kind of knowing on how things do works and on whats the reality
on the things that we are really that experiencing out.

A continues loosing and continues gaming on a particular game would always make you feel aggressive to the casino gambling and that can really have you some negative thoughts of challenging the casino site which you would stubbornly keep gaming that you must win else you would not step back or giving that particular casino or game a break.

Meanwhile... The casino games does not care about your emotions as they are not even aware that you have gone out of your mind to embark on a challenge that YOU MUST WIN before your mind sets down.
In such state of mind, you will only end up loosing more so, giving that game a break and trying a new one could be a remedy to fix your mind up again so you can be strict and analysing potential winning games without being so curious and aggressive again.

How about you stop playing games altogether where you have no advantage over others? In many casino games, such as roulette or slots, you do not and cannot have any reasonable strategies, unless you consider the martingale a strategy. But martingale inevitably leads to losses, as everyone knows. There may be some strategies in Blackjack, but it is difficult to consistently win against the dealer. In general, all these games that the author mentions do not imply that the player may have an advantage over the casino or other players. If you constantly play these games, then a series of failures will inevitably be repeated.

Well getting yourself involved in gambling could be wrong decision itself. As for the question of the OP, obviously if you are in a losing streak so badly on a specific game then simply stop and don't continue with it, (and from what I gather from your post, your mostly a black jack player so I assume this is the specific game that you are referring?). So that will be my initial strategy, quit and then just let it settle down. In my own case, if I have a losing streak on roulette, then I will also simply quit. And then just observe without any bet to see how unlucky I am and then back in the next couple of days after I already move forward from my losing streak.

It’s true that strategies like martingale more often lead to losses rather than gains, and while games like blackjack offer a glimmer of strategic play, the consistent winning is challenging.

However, this doesn’t diminish the enjoyment many find in these games when played responsibly. Recognizing the odds and approaching gambling as a leisure activity rather than a profit-making endeavor can make for a positive experience. It’s about the thrill of the game and the enjoyment of the moment, not just the outcome.

For those who do decide to participate, setting clear limits and gambling responsibly are key. It’s entirely possible to enjoy the casino experience while being fully aware of the odds, making informed decisions, and treating it as a form of entertainment. This mindset allows for a more positive and enjoyable gambling experience, where the focus is on fun and the experience itself, rather than the win-loss record.

Yes, however, losing streaks are a normal thing in gambling, which means that you seem to be really far from luck, so you end the session with more losses than wins, and yes, as you said, if we are in that situation then Yes, it is better for us to look for other things or other activities that can divert our minds from losing at gambling, where this action will be able to minimize some of the impulsive actions or decisions that result from the emotions of losing.

In some cases, yes, it is true that most gamblers who experience a larger number of losses are because they cannot ignore their emotions or find it difficult to control their emotions so at that time they prefer to gamble again with the aim of returning something they have lost by based on emotions, and I will say that most of these scenarios will happen and be experienced by gamblers who come with the pure aim of earning and also they are irresponsible gamblers, the fact is that it is difficult to switch to a better approach and It is suggested that they still cannot reach awareness about the error of their behavior.

Change that attitude and turn things into a positive ways, most of the time those old practices might need tweaks and some adjustments, you may bring some decent outcomes when you already recognize what changes that you need to do, as per changing the game, it might work to divert but if you still using that same practices and still being dominated by your emotions,

that might still leads you to lose your money, it's an adjustments that you need and in terms of it there's always possible ways to improve you just need to focus when trying to find the best one that fits for you.

Yes I agree. Resting your mind in these moments of long losses is essential to be able to come back renewed, even if the losses continue. What I see is that you can't stop betting, much less come back and want to recover what you lost. Accept the loss, reset and start again.

Emotions would be always the main culprit or something this is really that a main thing that could really affect out overall decision making because it would really be altering out on what are the things that you should
gonna do. If you are someone whose really not that good when it comes to emotion control or having that kind of discipline then expect that you would really be ending up on having that disastrous condition on which this is something that you must avoid at all cost. If you would really just that simply tolerate on what are the things that you would really be doing then you do really ends up on having that kind of potential huge problem
and would really be ended up on having that huge regret. We've known that when it comes to decisions that we are making then we should really be that at least sensible on what we do dealing off with.

Whenever you are on a situation where you are really that having that losing streak then it would really be just that right that you should really be stopping completely rather
than on making even more deposits because it would really be just that worsen the situation.

This is a good question as this also talks about the remedy of a person on how he/she handles a losing streak.

This is actually one of the things that people should talk about- what do you really do if you start experiencing a losing streak? Do you keep on continuing in order to recover your losses by betting again; or do you just accept the fact that you will never able to recover these losses?

Personally, once I experience a losing streak, I really tell myself to STOP and re-evaluate the situation. This is really difficult given that the initial reaction of a person is to gamble again in order to recover these losses. But this method does not really work as it may snowball into a bigger debt that you already have.

For my recommendation, I do think that having a designated gambling budget per week may suffice. For example, if you allot $100 per week as your gambling budget, then try your best to NOT go beyond it. Set a threshold of your profit in order to at least have a reasonable expectation on your games.

That's what most gamblers can't do, they can't let go of their losses and start afresh every time they start gambling which is why they lose more in every other gambling session. If a gambler starts accepting their losses and moves ahead, there won't be any loss streaks that would look like a curse.

If you are a gambler and you keep losing money all the time and you are facing that situation only because you are always chasing your losses, you need to change your pattern, stop chasing your losses and try to gamble normally every time even if you have lost in your last gambling session.

This will make you feel better and you won't have an unending loss streak anymore.

That's a cool strategy and I like it. But this kind of plan requires discipline which is difficult to achieve when you are a gambler. There's always that one more game, until you lose everything you worked hard for and then all of a sudden you will be shocked that you are already at loss and you are chasing the losses. That's why I said this requires discipline. If the plan to win came true, get out, run, keep it, or spend it for something else. Because if you stay at a gambling site, there will always the thought of playing more and trying to increase the profits but we all know it doesn't come true most of the time.

Look, losing streaks are tough. Everyone wants to win, but you've got to be smart about gambling. Its high-risk, and folks forget that. Chasing losses is a big mistake, a HUGE mistake. It only digs you deeper, believe me, the best people know this. Thats why I always say, set a budget - $100 a week, thats a smart limit most people can handle. Its not just about the money, though. Its about discipline, something seriously lacking these days. This method, its not just saving cash, its teaching you how to make calculated decisions. Thats what winnings about, not blind luck. This is a lesson anyone who gambles needs to learn.

Discipline in gambling is necessary, setting a bankroll is a must, and responsibility is that when you lose, you should not chase after losses.

If these three things are done then it can be that you gamble for pleasure not because you are looking for any income, for victory let it come alone sometimes luck cannot be guessed at the game will come.

The most important thing is to set the bankroll as little as possible, if it runs out then stop for a moment then do it again next time when you are ready to lose money back for gambling.

I think changing a game after losing is not a wise decision. Though I have done it several times all the time it made me more loser. Better try to use the game again which you can perform better to recover the loss.

Yes, you are right. When we are gambling, especially when we are on a losing streak, our minds are a complete mess. All we want is to get back all the money we lost and get back on track. The more we do that, the more we lose money, and that's how the casinos want it to be; they want us to be more fixated on gambling and lose our minds. 

Taking a step back and taking a break will help a lot because it will rest your mind and body. With that, you can control your emotions and think about what you can do next. Also, doing something else besides gambling will help you, like watching movies or something, playing some games, doing some household chores—anything that you can do that will take you away from gambling is also a big help.

Give time to your mind for relaxation because if you regularly gamble without any rest then your mind will be unable to think well so most of your decisions will be wrong. A person cannot make good decisions if his mind is not prepared therefore if you have lost large part of your money in gambling then it is not necessary that you will play everyday therefore take a break and come again with relax mind.

Gambler cannot take a break from gambling and he will like to take loan for gambling but will not like to stop it for sometime because he consider it as a waste of time but I think continues gambling is just a waste of time as well as a waste of money.

 ;D ;D ;D even if you run as fast as you can, you will still come back to the casino on a very faithful and have that bad run. For what I feel that's important is actually knowing or having the guts to stop when you are losing because that's the most craziest time ever, only that losing spree can break you in a way that you can't even have the mind to continue with your so called fun habit.

Going directly to your question, it is good to take a break when you are experiencing losing streak because it will save you from further losses and also awakens your mind whenever you try to come back again just like in your own case. Some gamblers don't apply this strategy as what most of them feels is that continuous gambling even on a losing streak can peradventure give them a win and in most cases, they keep running into more losses all in the inquisitiveness of wanting to win at all cost.

Well, changing games in the course of a long losing streak does work for me most of the time, and also most of the other times, I still prefer to just take a long break from gambling, by long break, I mean  like 4, 5 to one week or more  but maximum of a month, this usually depends on how much I lost as a result of the losing streak in my gambling session.
After such break, I usually return to finding a new game entirely and playing that, that is, I do not return to the previous game where I had that long losing streak, I only return to such games after a really long while.

Now, another way to possibly end a long losing streak is to change the client seed of that game session, this is if the casino offers this ability though.
Personally, I've played on some casinos that alloe gambler to change their client seed which I believe also resets the game for the player, this way, you start the game afresh under a different seed.
This actually does not always work, as many a times I've tried it, it didn't work, that is, after changing my client seed, my losing streak continued until about 20 minutes before I had a good win.
But other times, it still works, and I personally believe that this is actually worth trying out, since it cost nothing to change a client seed.

Unfortunately, a large number of gamblers fall for this. Recouping your losses isn't a valid option when you're on a losing streak. Your emotions will get the best of you, and you'll eventually start making more and more reckless bets. The chances are, 9 out of 10, you're going to lose all your money in the process. The OP's approach is the wisest decision at this point: take a break, calm down, and don't be involved in gambling for a few days. Not only will it prevent you from losing more money, but it will also save your mental state and well-being, which is of outmost importance.

This is applicable to those non-addicted person, giving them an advice not to gamble in a few days or weeks is okay and they can easily follow that but to those addicted already? that's impossible. that's why majority of people experiencing losing streak are those people who can't stop on betting. taking a break in gambling will totally prevent you from losing more and for clearing up your mind so that in your next gambling session, you will focus and think clearly.

Having a break after the losing streak are always advisable because chasing losses can’t guarantee anything and also for your peace of mind, better not continue especially when you are already too emotional. If you are having a bad day, you can always come back but first you have to set your limit and budget to avoid further losses and always have your strategy, chasing anything is not ok its always good to have your target and stop loss amount.

It's not really about what works in terms of profits, but what works in terms of mentality. As profits is something you can't change with some trick, or changing the game. But i totally understand the point of changing game, as it's basically only thing you can do if you want to keep on gambling. And statistically, eventually there's a high change that you are having a winning streak later on, but people pay less attention when that's happening, as they don't see that as problem they have to deal with.

However, you can't count on that winning streak happening, which is the reason you shouldn't lose your cool and put more money then you can afford to get it all back. It might not happen, and there's a change that losing steak could continue.

So if you don't already have a plan and budget that you are sticking to, you should make one, to keep you not drowning in debt when you try to climb up. It's healthier to accept your losses and move on. And keep on trying what ever keeps your happy. 

Most people don'tt see any problems when they are having a winning streak, even though that's just another side of the coin, and in fact slightly more probable side of it. But with losing streak, only problem that comes with it is budget that runs out. And what ever you choose to do, don't go over the budget.

Losing enough in one game would make anyone change the game, at least for me, as it's not even exciting when you keep losing. However i know that won't most likely affect my changes. But if i want to keep gambling, that's what i do.

This is always effective for me not only on breaking losing streak but also when protecting my winning streak. I usually stop gambling whenever I have enough losses or profit because this is the only way to let your mind reset in able to still play rationally.

All casino games can make you addicted regardless if you win or lose because it always involves money which is precious to every one of us. Taking a break should be one of the important safety mechanisms which gambler should remember before they start to gamble.

Any excessive win or lose incorporates a more playing time on games which is bad to players state of mind.

It's terrible for a gambler not to quit when he feels uncomfortable with his losses. Advancing on the next wager isn't a smooth choice for any gambler. He could be ending his bankroll each day he tries that. Eliminating the joy he once had, if he ever did, while gambling. It's not an easy task to move away after a win, and that drags down most gamblers to stick around on their gadget. Checking if a lucky day is in the corner. Such thoughts corner the gambler to believe he's about winning, anytime soon. Whatever it is a player accepts is right, going after more wins is unacceptable.

Because the trouble could start out from there, and he'd be unable to quench the fire. It's more like a challenge to the player to accept his responsibility, and not all would go home thinking like a loser. So, sticking around till the funds are over seems to some players as though they've achieved success. Don't know what they think of it. But leaving earlier would have saved the player the stress of leaving in an empty pocket. However, gambling is fun, with the funds. With no funds, it's devastating and incredibly annoying. The ball is in the player's court. But not at all times, will a player think for himself. As the losses could be too much of a burden, he wouldn't think of changing his reasons of going for more and stop.

It will be good for a gambler to take a break after losing because he needs to reduce his tension after getting lose. He also needs to break for a while to take a deep breath and thinks about what he needs to do after his losses. He can't continue playing gambling, especially if he lose some money and only take a rest that can helps him to thinks about the next moves. He doesn't needs to recover his lose because that will be difficult to do so he must stops his gambling activity, especially if he already losing streak.

Yes, limiting the budget is the solution to avoids the big lose so that is the way that every gambler must do. Before he playing gambling, he must have a plan about how much money he will use. Otherwise, he will lose much money without he realizes.

Truth be told. Because gambling profitably is not only a probability game man! It is also a performance game. In gambling you should be able to make more conscious and sound decisions. Decisions that would make you money. So if you are going back to the casino and still clinging to your losses, how would you expect yourself to perform smoothly. SO when you are still hurt from your losing streak, just take your time off. The gambling will always be there. Come back stronger,

So that when you come back from mental equilibrium, you are afresh have a better outlook in your bets.

I commend you to think of having a different approach in gambling, instead of pushing yourself to win and break your losing streak on the same game, you, instead try other games like slots to break the curse of losing streak. It is really annoying and hard to shift to different games if we have a losing streak on our favorite game, only those who have a good reasoning and control can shift away from their favorite games.


If ever I have a losing streak, I always pause my gambling session for several days to weeks then come back.  I often find this method effective in breaking a losing streak.

And you'll only be able to determine if you are really profitable if you bring your gambling activity into a long term journey. This isn't about play now, you win and declare yourself profitable as it doesn't work that way, we know that casinos win in the long run, so we should always based our performance in the long run. Additionally, it's also about choosing the right game for you, know your passion and focus to it, just make sure that it's not a luck based game like roulette as there's no way you can improve your strategy due to the big house edge of the casino.

This is right because there is a chance of winning when all our bets despite many years of gambling experience if this game don't give us favor and luck.
Yes, it might be found in the game and we need to try and search for it. If we are not good at card games, we might be good at sports betting. If not always, sometimes we consider also the game we are a fan of - like if we love sports, then I think this suits us.

---

As a gambler, we also consider that not all games are meant for us. We also think about the factors of how we end up losing like we are cursed with. We must choose a game where we think we are good and knowledgeable.

He needs to free up his mind to allow that new sets of strategy or remove the tension that push him to be more aggressive if you have that kind of mindset then you can avoid losing more, though some are thinking about changing games and try to use other venue to make some bets trying to work things out and if they've got some winning streaks they will continue using that game instead of going back and play again with the game that they've lost before.

More on your own decision making and how  luck may show and back you up with your chosen venue to continue your betting.

Well, it's the logical and most sensible thing to do, someone who's addicted isn't in the right state of mind, nor are they in a position to judge what's the right move, but I honestly cannot understand their logic. You're on losing streak, why would you continue hoping to reverse the losses. Anyway, an outsider cannot possibly judge if he hasn't been in that position before, I haven't, so I don't know how I'd react if it were to happen to me.
Fix your quotes mate, your post isn't showing as it should.

I'm not so sure what you did here was anything more than being lucky.  You were having a tough go at it with the game that you play and enjoy most, but things weren't working out of late, so you try something else and win enough to make up for your past 3 weeks of gambling, I'm not so sure that was anything more than just luck.  Had you lost playing slots like you mention, then what?

The best time to stop gambling is now, most especially when you are losing, because gambling become a negative activities when you continue to lose, since you will likely have that bad feelings of unmotivated because of the recorded loses, and if it be mixture of winning and losing at the same time, one could advice to continue but in this case of consistent losing, it is better to quit at once.

First of all you have to realize that it's not a curse. There's nothing superstitious about it, it's just numbers.
The longer the streak the lower the chance of it continuing in another round. When you see yourself lose time and time again, consider going somewhere else, but the way I see it when you had a long losing streak on an account chances are there's a winning streak right around the corner. I hate these situations and that's why I usually make single bets at a time and if I lose, I lose. I don't dwell on it, it was a sports bet, the team or a player lost and I lost too. I feel like people who get these long losing streaks are usually slots or dice players because it's rare in sports.

Some win, some lose. The best players know. They dont complain about being "cursed" because they know it takes ability, not chance. Be smart, strategic, and use your strengths. If poker is your weak spot, consider sports betting. Finding your edge, knowing the odds, and not relying on luck are key.

As in business, you assess the market and make strategic moves. Gambling expertise is your greatest asset. The house doesnt always win. Playing smart can help you win. Bet on what you know after studying the game and rules. Thats how long-term success comes. Its about making informed decisions, not just the excitement.

Long losing streaks are indeed rare in sport betting, as a gambler that has been experimenting one, could always go for the favorite a few times in a row in order to at least get a win and end the negative streak.

But when it comes to a gambling game which is completely random, this cannot be done, as even if you were to bet on red on a roulette and you lost ten times in a row, the chances that a red number appears next are still the same, so you still depend on your luck to end the losing streak you are going through.

That's why he must take a break for some time, especially if he already played gambling and losing his money. Without take a break, his emotion can increase and makes him lose control. That's already happens to many people and makes them lose their money without having a chance to recover the money. Yes, someone can be aggresive because he wants to gets his money back but that doesn't easy as gambling will not gives him a big chance. If he use the other casino, that will not guarantee him can win but he will have a chance to gets more losses as he will thinks to recover his lose from the other casinos.

We must make our own decision after playing gambling for some time and if we see that we only gets lose many times, even losing streak, that's the reason for us to gets out from gambling. We don't have to comes back to the casino because that can makes us becomes an excessive gambler.

A very good reason to have a break and make sure that you'll be able to breath everything out, as if you continue to push your way using additional deposit, chances that you might lose more money is possible, though if changing the game might give you another chance maybe you can use that venue but not a guarantee that you'll be able to have a different outcome.

It's always with how you treat your gambling and how good you are in controlling your emotions, best practice is to quit when you already suffering to avoid further additional damage with your finances.

All your wins and losses can be specifically engineered by a casino with the intention of drawing you in to extra play. Casinos know that people form habits connected with wins on slot games - all those special side games, fancy bonuses, wild noises and other stuff are designed to fire off the happy chemicals in your brain with the aim of creating a habit. If you are always losing money, then you will never return to their website, so it's in their interest to make it seem like you have a few winning sessions, that way you'll feel more comfortable pouring much more back in. However if you only have one winning session out of every 3, you'll ultimately be feeding their huge profits every year.

You are absolutely right, don't expect anything from another game. It's just it will be less frustrating if another game will bring you nothing too. I mean, for me it's like that: if I'm not succeeding in something and yet keep ding it without changing anything and keep failing, it gets on my nerves, know what I mean?

You'll stop when you don't have money to gamble, that's a real gambler. What is your purpose of gambling? of course to enjoy and to win which could be the 2nd goal, but since we will likely loss, we should set up a bankroll that is already intended for gambling, and you win or lose, you'll never tough money that is not intended for gambling. It's not the curse of losing but it's us being irresponsible, because we don't understand the risk of losing, that's why we can't accept if we lose.

Thats a literal situation and it would be better that you shouldnt really be waiting for yourself to be put up on such situation on which does simply means that you had busted up all the money that you do have and this is something that you should have that completely make yourself that stopped up completely. Gambling should be fun, if you are already that allocated up some funds or already have that budget then it would be better that you shouldnt really be going beyond those points or with those limits because if you do find yourself that impulsive then you would be adding up more money until
you cant be able to do so since you have busted it all. We do know that emotion is something that would really be so damn hard to control specially if you are on such condition on the time that you would be making yourself trying to cope up with the loses that you have commited. Losing streak could really happen to anyone and if you do have that bad self control and decision making then you are really
that putting yourself on such great danger.

Know when to stop and when to play, and when you find that the gambling activity you are doing is only causing losses, because you are experiencing continuous losses, it would be a good idea for you to take a break from the activity to just calm down. . to regain control of yourself. Indeed, there is an opinion that the more often you experience defeat, the closer you will be to a big win, although sometimes this assumption is true, but you need to remember that the final results of gambling and betting are uncertain and cannot be relied on. So it's very stupid if we spend a lot of money on something we're not sure we'll get.

Never act stupidly, when you win, immediately withdraw from gambling, because if not, it is possible that the money you have won will be spent on gambling again. And likewise, when you experience a losing streak, stop for a moment from the activity and gain control over yourself.

The hardest aspect of this game is knowing when to quit. It goes beyond ending a losing skid. Understanding the system is against you is key. That "just one more bet" mindset? That's the trap, man. You're sold on winning after every loss, but that's not true

You see it often. Winner's ego takes control, and everything's gone. Same story, again and over. Truthfully, the house owns the table, not just an edge. It's designed to steal money slowly

Yes, throwing money at something unpredictable is stupid. Why do we fall for it again and again? Not about money. It's the rush of feeling in charge. That thrill hooks us. You must combat that, my friend

Using additional deposit can gives us more chances to playing gambling longer but that doesn't mean we can win and recover our losing money. We must prepared for the other losses that we may gets so we should be ready for that and will not regret if we lose all of the additional money. If you moves to the other games, that will not gives you a big chance to win but you will have a chance to lose the money without having a big chance to recover the money. That's why you must allocated money for playing gambling and will not deposit more money if you almost runs out of the money.

It's better we treat gambling as an entertainment so we can enjoy every gambling games that we played and we will not thinks about winning the gambling games because that will be difficult. When we can control our emotion, that will helps us to be wise playing gambling and will not spends all of the money.

I'm fine with losing all the money I have as long as it's intended for gambling. Actually, it's not really complicated, because if we understand the risk and have accepted it, we will enjoy gambling in its entirety.

Let's say I go to a casino and I brought $1000, it's expected that I may loss that amount but it should not worry me as I can afford to lose it. So in order for me to enjoy, I should also set a goal on the amount I should win before I stop, so if my goal is $1000, that's double my bankroll, I should stop when I reach that amount. Plain and simple, because if we complicate these things, it will take us somewhere we might not like what would happen.

Correct approach on how you can enjoy gambling properly. Many gamblers missed the point of the actually playing and feel the risk every bet is what makes it enjoyable. Our money is just a tool to feel that kind of intense fun so we should consider it as payment to the fun we gain.

It’s important to have an allocated money for gambling just like what you did so that you wouldn’t care if you lose as long as your goal for entertainment already achieved. It’s just a bonus if you won in the process.

That assumption is often false, as it comes from a mistaken understanding about the field of probabilities, as some gamblers believe that the more they lose the greater the chances of the expected win to appear.

But this is wrong, in most gambling games each event is independent from each other, which means that it does not matter how many times you have lost before, the chances you will win during the next event remain the same, and those expecting for their luck to take a turn for the better are just wasting their time.

You have been losing gambling for three weeks so why did you not take any break from your gambling during these three weeks. You should definitely take a break from gambling during these three weeks. If you had taken a break from gambling during these three weeks, you would have made your gambling decisions in a healthy mind that would not have resulted in you losing consistently. When a gambler is consistently losing at gambling, it is best for that gambler to take a break. When the gambler takes a break, he can easily mark the mistakes he is making in gambling and if he can mark his mistakes, he will try to correct them so that he does not have to lose constantly.

Knowing your money may vanish? Smart, open-eyed play. Setting a win aim and leaving? Man, harder said than done. Your strategy is promising. The actual battleground is your thoughts. Your discipline—how strong? Can you leave with $1000 burning a hole?" Your enemy is temptation to double down and chase that next rush.

Understanding your circuitry trumps the odds. And your plan? If those constraints hold, I'll support it. Enjoying gambling within your means is fine. It's simple in theory but terrible in practice. Keep your plan and headspace, and you may win.

This sounds perfectly like the casino trying so hard to take the money back from you, I like your idea of using a small amount of money on a slot game after winning a big amount of money.

I use less money than you do, and I also do the same as you, although I don't gamble on anything else than slots game, if I gamble for a long period and I keep losing I will use my second option online casino or take a week off.

It's good to change your game if you are losing too much on one game, but for someone like me who likes slots the most I don't like going for other games unless it's Champions League season where I can place bets on football matches.

It's easier to be said than done, you already know what's your enemy while doing gambling so you should also know what will you do. when you are tempted, just always think about your initial plan and stick to it, one of the ways to not lose to temptation is to have strong self discipline and do not listen to your other thoughts because it will lead you to danger.

He could not because he is now chasing his losses rather than thinking how to stop losing. As he preferred to gamble more and chase his losses, the more possible he could no longer get his money back.

---

Very unfortunate, but many gamblers have this wrong mentality. In fact, losing straight is an indication that we need to stop or take a break. Gambling is about luck but sadly, luck never comes to us always that is why, sometimes we need to use our instincts. Losing 5 bets straight is enough to stop IMO and just come back after a few days. I did this and it is quite helping me not to fall into addiction.

You know if you had never stopped you might have continued in the cycle of chasing your loses in that particular game and worst of all is when your mind is now corrupt that you are not in luck and can't win.

This is the same reason i hate playing virtual in gambling shops , cause at times you can be stucked in a losing streak and have very few options that you may like apart from football simulations. I just prefer playing on my phone so when I'm losing and my mood is changing I just switch my device or close the app, my cool down procedure when I'm in big loses is to to just watch movies on my phone. Gambling at your comfort rules  ::) ;D ::)

What’s the difference between virtual gambling shop and playing gambling on your phone while both of them is gambling online while you can access gambling anytime even if you are using your phone. You just need to turn it on if you want to gamble again which is easier to do if you are just at home.

Playing online is indeed high risk since you can deposit all your saving during heat of the moment when you experience losses. This is what I’m avoiding when I’m gambling online. You can safely manage you bankroll by just moving your assets on lock state for a certain period of time before you gamble so that you can’t access it whenever you feel greedy after loss.

Losing streak doesn't roll with no wins at hand, the player will get a few wins before hitting the losing streak. This means he could begin thinking of gaining back those wins after the losing streak is over, which traps the player not to hit the quit button. The decision is in the player's jurisdiction to make, sometimes, but in other ways, the player could be suffering from a loss of control. However, when a player struggles with decision-making, he is not in total control of himself. Gambling can take away the energy of a player, making his willpower weak.

Taking a break is a valid means of recuperating the brain and redirecting it to think better while gambling. Nothing beats taking a rest whenever we are emotionally exhausted by gambling. If a gambler is battling with more than 5 losses at a go, it should be in his best interest to stop, immediately. Unless he's patiently out of greed waiting for the win streak to arrive. Which is a bad move for any gambler. As the winning streak doesn't show up without a touch of losses rolling with it. In a nutshell, winning or Losing streaks should determine when a player stops a session.

When someone chases defeat then I think their thinking is already broken because with them chasing defeat or victory it is the same as they are chasing uncertain things but with certainty is that they will lose more money by doing such actions. The worst thing can happen when they do such risky actions. When they cannot stop gambling then it is the same as they will not stop experiencing losses. The more often they gamble, the more often they experience losses that cannot be avoided.

Bensr that you said gamble with reasonable rules, don't gamble by exceeding the limits that we can afford such as in terms of our own finances. Having a reasonable limit is a must because the curse of losing at gambling in my opinion cannot be avoided but if it is to minimize it maybe it can still be. It is very unlikely that we can change the curse of losing streaks in gambling that is done.

Yes the advice has always been about having strong discipline and focusing on the best plan you can come up with, but I think at the end of the day as you say "it's easier said than done", and you have also said that gambling can be very tempting which I think is very likely to happen or I mean very likely that you will break the rules regarding the plan you have previously made.

On the other hand I understand that the many temptations in gambling always lead to careless decision making and even responsible gamblers have experienced this, and although discipline is indeed the best thing that gamblers should have, I think it is not enough and maybe I will suggest something that can strengthen you in terms of avoiding some out of control actions due to the many temptations in gambling and that is "assertiveness", So the bottom line is that having a strong discipline along with a strict adherence to the rules and awareness is a good combination to minimize things like falling for something that looks tempting.

Indeed, good aspects to prevent large losses or other adverse effects are only easy to say but it is difficult to do, set, or practice. When gambling, anything can change including the main goal before gambling. With gambling that can be tempting or interesting because it is a fact, there is nothing that can rule out the possibility that gamblers can change their minds when gambling. When winning or losing, in my opinion, changes in gambling motives can still change.
When you win, there is the potential to continue gambling by wanting to get an even bigger win, even though before gambling, you originally had a target. Likewise, when they get a loss.
Indeed, when they are tempted further into gambling, actions that are at great risk are likely to occur and may even occur. Because thoughts that should not exist lead ourselves to do the desires of the heart such as wanting to get more wins even though we have won before. In my opinion, there are many rights that can indeed be an ingredient or aspect that can indeed prevent big losses, it's just that not all gamblers can apply it properly.

To be honest, for this type of sports betting, I rarely experience a losing streak. except, I'm really unlucky. for example, in 4 matches in the Champions League competition. apart from that, predictions in other competitions are also just as bad. even though, I have a rule to only bet on 3 matches in each football schedule. but because of bad luck, all my predictions failed and missed. I actually rarely experience situations like this, but because I'm unlucky, I can't avoid anything. well, I'm not a real blackjack bettor. however, sometimes I play it occasionally. In fact, I prefer Baccarat, the risks are high but the results are worth it.

What you are experiencing, happens to me usually when I play slot games. Moreover, if I play the same game every time I gamble. High curiosity made me try to repeat playing even with a small bankroll and like you, I experienced consecutive losses without winning. the pattern is the same, I don't play slots every day. but when I played it, I kept losing again. the more we force it, the more our losses increase, starting from a small bankroll. Well, the experience you are experiencing is our experience too. To avoid high tendencies, taking a break from gambling is the right first step, whatever the gambling. then, try random games as you do. not infrequently, I can recover previous losses. well, so I think most of us have similar experiences regardless of the type of gambling.

 I've come to understand that sometimes to succeed in gambling one must have a good knowledge about the actual gambling aspect they're into, be it sports betting, slot games and so on, you don't expect someone that's very good at sports betting, probably follow up sporting activities and have little knowledge about poker to succeed in it. If you're good at sport betting focus on it and try to come up with better strategies of winning with it.

 Some individuals does not understand this an that's why they keep having numerous losing streaks, sometimes their friends who are good at a particular aspect of gambling keeps winning with it and they'll want to try their luck to see if they'll win as well whereas they've got little or no idea about slot games. Well it's a good thing the OP had to quit after having streaks of loses for 3  weeks. Too bad I took him 3 weeks to realise he was doing the wrong thing.

This was the same idea and decision the OP took. H said he suffered losses for three weeks and he decided to take a break to enable him to evaluate his gambling activity. And one of the decisions he took was to change the game he usually plays and this decision has really helped him. recover some of his losses. I think OP's style is worth emulating because he was able to make some decisions that helped him. And I am thrilled that instead of chasing losses like some people will do, OP decided to seek other better options. Taking a break is another viable means of curbing chasing losses and gambling addiction.

Taking a break sometimes work but I can guarantee you it's not all the time that this method is effective enough because sometimes even with the break, if you are still grieving about the previous lost you might still end up losing more but for the case of him actually changing the game he currently plays, well I don't really know what to say about that but sometimes changing a game you play might take some time to actually master the game and know some of the odds or games that might work for you that's if the game isn't 100% luck base .

slots, sports betting and poker is need a little bit knowledge to win this kind of game in gambling cause analysis is much better in this. We need to have knowledge to put our bet on to them and then we will got a  good outcome such us receiving our winning money. But sometimes we are in Lossing mode or let say we don't have our luck in our sides and that's the reason why we will loss what ever we made inorder to win still we can't.  And the best thing to do once we are in our Lossing streak then it's better to take a break.

I am sure that one of the reasons why he continues his gambling activities is based on a goal that is based on a little confidence that he will be able to successfully reach the recovery stage which means all the money that has been lost returns to your hands through the arrival of winnings, but however I think it is clear that this is a way of thinking that is too risky, because in gambling when you try to chase something that you have already lost then you will most likely only experience a greater amount of loss and this is why it is always recommended to risk the amount that we can afford to lose, The goal is so that we don't get emotional when the result is a real loss.

However, a good and recommended approach to gambling is to know when to row and when to pull over, such as gambling when you have free time and an amount of money that you can afford to lose and stop when you experience defeat or when you feel that your emotions are running out. starts to come to mind, and I am sure that an approach like this will be able to put you in a good balance where gambling will not have too bad an impact on your life and also gambling will not have too bad an impact on your mental and psychological well-being.

On the other hand, I think you cannot say that defeat is the result of a mistake made by a gambler, remember that this is gambling which always runs randomly which will lead to one of two possibilities at the end of the session, namely winning or losing, so when If you lose, that's normal because this is gambling and something that happens randomly, you can never know what mistakes you made that made you lose. Simply put, in gambling, losing is something that is bound to happen and is experienced by all typical gamblers and wins. just an opportunity.

It's very true they at some point it actually becomes very necessary to take a break from gambling so you will be able to rethink and strategies on how well to gamble so you have a better chance of winning unlike you had have before so it's always usually better after such breaks because then  you seem to come back in a better mind and tend to achieve even much more than you would have when you still stay consistently gambling without a break and loosing, your mind becomes messy and  you are unable to think straight enough to be able to have a better strategy to be able to win the game much better than you had done in your previous games.

Especially the addicted gamblers, most others usually do find it difficult taking a break off gambling awhile so that they get to be able to make sure they get a better mind starting a fresh again to gamble in the right state of mind and a better strategy.

Sincerely, I'm intrigued by your response on players who ponder on their past losses. Those memories can't be erased, but it's a sign the gambler has no new option that picks his interest. When on break, it means eliminating any worries about gambling. It's like the gambling habit is paused and won't be resumed until the designated time for the vacation elapses. A player whose facial reaction worsens out of his thoughts on past gambling losses isn't doing himself a nice favor. Changing games may not help actually. Due to the continues involvement in games. That makes no changes.

Switching from one game to another still takes out money from the gambler. Hence, trying to stop a losing streak by switching games, is not healthy. The idea of a break is quite better and more reasonable. As it helps the player to reminisce on new ideas in developing a better gambling strategy. One can't think further if he's still tied down with gambling on unique games. Slot games that don't require certain experiences wouldn't have any effect in affecting how the player enjoys the game. This means that he'd easily play other slot games, which wouldn't help stop the losing streak.

Previously I don't know if someone has told you this. That it doesn't all of the time work in this way as it did for you by virtue of your changing game from blackjack to slot. Someone somewhere could have tried this strategy after going through series of losses and still didn't change the outcome to any win. It's same as someone having a rough time with a particular slot machine at the casino after several session and then decides to change to use a different slot machine and still didn't get a smooth outcome.

By some way of luck we could chose to change our position about a game and hit a win but this is not guaranteed as it has the propensity to lead to further loss. The safe option to fall on when the loss has become a continuous one after several session is to take a break. Taking a break is a powerful strategy in preventing unwarranted losses. That's what I do when the streaks are not going in my favor. I don't push it.

So do you accept calmly the lost sessions when luck is not favoring you as you must be a genius if you can do that.Most people including myself I simply get mad when the lost sessions are coming in a consecutive way and after I see that the only thing I do is to go all in hoping to recover my lost amounts which only lead to even more bad losing.I am trying hard from quite sometime to stop when this thing happen yet I have never been able to accept lost sessions and bad luck calmly,I always get mad while I lose and I know very well my chances are totally against me when I gamble yet I seem to not keep calm mostly because the slot machines and most casinos do not give a damn about the RTP nowadays,they take your money in the fastest possible way while not keeping you entertained by giving you a deceiving win in the middle of such sessions.So the only thing to stop the curse of losing streak is to stop completely and not just take a break.

They are too engage with gambling that's why there's no more control inside them, the desire is to keep pushing for more and satisfied their lust and desire, gambling is something that control your emotions too much engagement ruin the balance, even how good you are in the beginning there's always a chance that you'll exceed and from that point you may wrecked whatever you setup for your gambling strategies.

Though just like what you mentioned taking breaks is the best counter in getting addicted, but most of the time instead of doing it gambler choose to push forward and then regret after losing or become addicted at the long run.

I agree with that, maybe it's because they are too engrossed in the gambling they are doing so they are so carried away by gambling that they forget that gambling is not something that should be done excessively. If they can't control their emotions then they will have thoughts of trying hard by gambling to win. It's true what you said, gambling can be said to train our patience, if we are able to control ourselves well and control our emotions well then they will not chase after winnings or recover from losses that have already occurred.
Even though they take a break, that doesn't mean they will stop gambling. They will return to gambling again. In fact, in my opinion, they will gamble more aggressively because they are trying to pursue something that is uncertain.

Losing is brutal and nobody enjoys it. Still spiralling, chasing losses? The home uses that strategy to get you. You wager big thinking you'll win, but every gamble is their game. No luck, no good or bad days. Gambling is maths, and the odds are against you. You must battle the system, not poor luck, which steers you towards wrong decisions. Casino machines aren't entertaining, and casinos aren't your friends. They're supposed to gradually exhaust you

So, here's it. You know what to do. Walking away is the only way out. No "break" or "slowing down"; quit cold turkey. Not surrendering, but taking charge and refusing to be a pawn. The gain is choosing yourself over being played

I share your points, they make so much sense, and I believe that anything we do in any risky activities should be erased from our minds if they are negative. This is not only because of the activity but for the sake of our health and moral self and for us to be able to be focused on what is in front of us in future and not pondering on what has passed. The past has passed, it should be left behind and that is also the reason why we should use the money we can afford to lose in gambling to make it easy for us. Also, I've condemned the supposed advice of the OP from the beginning and hinted that he was just lucky, and nothing more. I even dared him to replicate a thing like this before advising people to do the same.

If he can replicate it 3 times while he changed games and won big solely due to that, then I will believe him partially. Anything about gambling is not easy, we can only be lucky, but we should not misplace the fact that luck is different from chance and when you are lucky, just know that you are lucky and do not believe there is a perfect arithmetic or reason for it. This advice is more important in casino games, you can't be smarter than the house and the algorithms you are playing against.

However, trying other games is not necessarily bad, one may try it as it is not also good to play a game all the time. What if there are opportunities lurking in the others? This diversification was what, at least, helped the OP in his case.

And for sure the outcome of being aggressive most of the time lead you to lose more than you can afford, since instead of taking that break to free up some stress you find yourself trying to create strategy that you think may work once you start playing back, but all of the sudden when you are already in the game instead of executing it you'll find yourself doing that same mistake and continue to lose more money, if you can change that attitude then you'll keep ending your session with that same outcome.

I do learn to and not that am a genius, what I mean by that is that not that I am 100% percent at doing it but most often than not I do accept my losses after many sessions and move on for another day again. It is not that easy a thing to do but if a gambler decides to be intentional at  it then there's no way he wouldn't learn to accept the results.

The casinos are a profit making venture for the owners and surely won't give a damn about the gambler even though in some cases they claim to. I understand what you mean by deceiving win, what I can say is that if you can at times learn to quit with that win and take it over to the next day you may be luckier on the next day.

Things like that are commonplace and will continue to happen to see gambling addicts like that. They prefer to continue to gamble even though they are cursed with a losing streak. They don't mind it because in their small hearts they always keep the belief that later in the last game they will definitely be able to win and recovering all the money that has been lost, even though it is clearly impossible and the mindset of gamblers like that is clearly wrong because no gambler can recover all their losses, although not everyone is so lucky to get it, in fact usually most of them experience losses and losses.

I agree with you because the only way is to take a break or reduce gambling if you really want to have a healthier mindset, after all why should you gamble every day when not all gamblers can get rich from gambling every day, we all know there is nothing that people are looking for in Gambling is nothing but wealth, therefore many people compete to get it until they become addicted to gambling. It is clear that gambling addiction comes from a person's bad gambling habits. They should start focusing on taking a break from gambling to reduce addiction.

This was undoubtedly the best decisions to have made, yes! But what's the case for a person that doesn't have the techs to indulge in any other type of casino games apart from slots? Just basing off an assumption though..

---

In my opinion, taking a long break is cool - do you really have to bother about why 'em poker cards ain't aligning? I mean, that would only make you start chasing your loses which, is the beginning of your failure.
Well, on the other hand, it's really hard to overlook your loses; the eagerness, frustration and confusion is real! I've seen cases of a family man crying for a refund from a casino

Hitting up a jackpot is one of the main things that would really be pushing up for us to play even more. We do know that not all would really be that lucky on the time that they would really be dealing with slots.
This is why this would really be something that situational and cant really happen all the time but it do really looks good or having that a better approach or actions on the time that you have won.
Always making out such step on the time you would really be securing those profits at the same time you would really be having that good control towards yourself on playing even more.
When it comes to losing streak then this is something that cant really be stopped because when dealing up with gambling then this is something that would really be in random. There are really those people who do become that impulsive on the time that they would really be able to experience those loses and would really be tending to make out some recovery just because they do really believe that they could really be able on doing so, without even realizing that they will really be experiencing even more loses.

The defeats I experienced really made me even more curious about gambling, because there is a saying that the more often you lose, the closer you are to winning big. So I kept making deposits until I didn't realize that I had lost a lot of money and emptied my account. Even though I had experienced quite a big loss, this could not stop my curiosity about gambling. At first, so that I could continue playing, I intended to borrow money and make a deposit again, but fortunately there was someone who made me aware of this. This bad behavior is not to continue chasing losses. Until now, I have not returned to the gambling site and placed a bet. With encouragement from those closest to me, I temporarily stopped these activities indefinitely.

I honestly doubt that is how things works in gambling...especially when you have a big losing streak. So for me , the best advice would be to simple take a break from gambling or simply wait for an event where you really have a proper idea of how the game can go and stop doing random bets on random games. Glad to hear that you have control over yourself and you know when to quit and also you don't need to block your gambling websites because a lot of gamblers tend to call their internet provider and have those websites blocked.

I think most gamblers experience the same scenario as you, or I mean they get caught up in their curiosity when they lose at the beginning of their involvement, on the other hand I'm not accusing you but it seems like you came to gambling without a true understanding of what gambling is and maybe you came with the intention of multiplying so when you lose then the situation is a situation that is difficult for you to accept which in turn makes you experience curiosity. However if a gambler comes with a proper understanding of gambling then I think it is less likely for them to have curiosity in them or even act to chase their losses to reach the recovery stage that even the situation makes you desperate to take a loan, while a gambler who has a proper understanding will not do that because it means you increase the chance of losing for a larger amount, but fortunately the people closest to you tell you that putting curiosity in gambling will only lead you to a more likely disaster.

Right Op has a unique gambling technique for his readers, that worked on his end, which is a nice purpose to not try completely someone else's strategy. Especially, when it advises players to try other games, instead of going for a break. The game changes whenever a player is not well prepared on a specific strategy. Op may have been lucky and as you said, he may be unlucky trying same strategy again. Although not all players care much about some other person's success in gambling. Most players are playing on unique stance circulating mainly on their personal interest.

So, if a technique as cruelly risky as what Op is portraying grasps the interest of a player, it's still cool he tries it out. But out of experience that'll be hardly the right decision, except for Op. It's always disappointing to try again something that once worked, and it didn't work. Gambling is one good example of such experiences. Wins depends on luck or the house. It doesn't show up always, hence, no right method works consistently like taking a long break. When in a losing streak.

That's something that is definitely happening friends, if we gamble aggressively or in other words with balanced emotions then most likely what will happen is a bigger loss, or more losses. it's true that instead of resting but thinking about how to turn things around or strategies to apply, but when you find the strategy and gamble again it will only return to experience the loss that is likely to happen. And if that happens then it is the same as chasing defeat or wanting to recover losses, but instead of recovering losses but instead making them experience losses again.
By them doing this, it is just a way of putting themselves into bigger problems. The thought of wanting to recover losses must be eliminated to prevent greater losses. By wanting to recover losses that will only happen is to lose more money, because the host will always win.

That's a good decision if you're not able to refrain yourself once you already made a deposit. It's really tempting to play continuously especially if you're in losing streak since you're thinking of getting back what you have lost and possibly closer to winning, as you've said. But that's not a good behavior because a gambler should not set high hopes when playing. When you lose, accept the fact and move on. It's crucial to not dwell in the past to have a fresh start (this is if you still want to continue playing despite the past losses).

The risk of losing is there each time you put something at stake. Even if you set a dice game at 98% chance of win there's still 2 % that you will lose your bet, and that's not zero, my friends. There was a story several months ago when a guy put $1 million on a team that according to 99% of bettors should win. He thoughts, why not get $10k out of thin air(the odds where 1.01). But the stars aligned wrongly for him and he lost his bet. Always be ready to lose, guys, whatever the odds.

The reality that will happen with gambling is losing or winning, and I think that losing or winning has something in common, where the similarity is that both can make us curious which will ultimately make us addicted to gambling. By the time they get a win, what will occur to gamblers who gamble with the aim of winning is that they are curious about the gambling they are doing, it can still produce bigger wins, but because they are like that, the winnings that have been obtained will most likely be lost again because that will What happens more often in gambling is losing, not winning, many gamblers are not aware that the winnings they have obtained should be utilized as well as possible, but they still lose because of their curiosity.

That's right, if they have a good understanding of gambling then it is unlikely that they will have curiosity or curiosity, even if they lose they probably won't have the feeling of wanting to recover their losses because they already understand that if what they bet on is lost it is a normal thing in gambling, but if people don't or misunderstand gambling, maybe they will continue to gamble even though they have lost because their strong curiosity drives them to be able to get a win that can cover the losses that have occurred, but what is clear is that it will not happen according to what which are desired.

What happens is that the OP talks about bad streaks and if you have a 98% chance of winning a game a bad streak will not last long. Bad streaks are known as variance, a variation on the statistical mean and depending on the odds of winning you have in a given game there is a mathematical impossibility that they will last more than x plays. In the OP's case what I would do would be to step away from gambling for a while, not so much because of the streak but because he doesn't seem to enjoy it.

This idea of trying to win back gambling losses... Its a sure way to fail. The house is ahead, that's the simple truth. That is, the longer you play, the more likely it is that you will lose money. Thats how maths works.

Being able to tell when to walk away is a really smart move. I understand your desire to get back those lost points; its a normal human drive. But its just a trap to keep you going. The important thing is to look past how you're feeling right now and concentrate on the bigger picture. Choose the things that will set you up for long-term success over the things that will give you a short-term thrill that could cost you a lot.

Win or loss is the two popularly known gambling terms that makes players unexpectedly curious for more wins that covers for their losses. Some stake high amount of money out of curiosity and don't enjoy their game on the long run. Because gambling requires focusing on the plan not changing them along the line. I've seen some gamblers who never thought about how their funds can be exhausted and played until everything got lost. Doing the right thing in gambling will fetch the player more respect for himself. The only self-disrespect most players place on themselves is their undisputed aim of always going for the losses. When money is lost, the best choice is looking out for the right method outside of gambling to generate fresh funds.

Instead of running back to the same venue or platform where the money was taken seeking to win it back. Don't think it's for bragging right, but a way of dealing with ourselves painfully in the game. As not all houses will provide the win, easily, the whole gambling process will be reinstated and the house winning more than the gambler. All this happens in every session, yet the players are clouded with their vision of winning big. Which is not actually the right thing, or maybe may not happen. Even if those wins are achieved the player, still, will wager them back to the house.

Your point concerning gambling ignorance is correct. People go in over their heads because of it. Deeper than that. Naturally curious, humans test limits. Unplanned casino visits are disastrous. In fact, curiosity is good. How you use it. Turning curiosity into smartness requires understanding games, odds, and strategy. It motivates people to improve and analyse their mistakes rather than waste money. That leads to ruin, you're right. Curiosity needn't mean that. It can be about measured risk, setting limitations, and enjoying the game without getting consumed by it.

Long-term winners while gambling? They channel their curiosity, not let it rule. Yes, listening to loved ones is good advice. But gambling is addictive. Taking something away leaves a hollow experience.

So far I have never experienced this, but if one day I experience a losing streak like you experienced, I will take action to just stop and recover my mind first because to be honest there is no way I will accept it easily, I will definitely feel disappointed even upset over the defeat. I have experienced consecutive hits and I think this incident will also be felt by some gamblers, namely when they lose in a row they will definitely be angry and very disappointed.

And if you indulge in gambling in the form of other gambling games, if that can make your heart and mind more comfortable and calm, I don't think that's a problem because it could be that with the existence of new gambling games, gamblers can play them. it's easier so you don't experience many losses. successively.
So basically we have to be smart in choosing the gambling games we will play so that we don't lose a lot of money there because we often experience a lot of losses. Choosing a gambling game must be in accordance with our respective abilities, namely safe and appropriate steps.

Of course because the key is to have the right knowledge and understanding of what gambling is, because if you understand that there are possible risks that can be very significant then I think it is less likely for you to make a decision that is too careless like returning to gambling based on curiosity, in the end it is still possible that losing will always be a sure thing, I'm not saying that you will always lose in the stage of realizing your curiosity by returning to running sessions but certainly and as some evidence that has happened that most people experience they even experience a greater amount of defeat just because they return to gambling based on curiosity.

As you said that it is better to analyze to realize the mistake or realize that applying curiosity in gambling is the wrong mindset, this is better than you waste money by returning to do some experiments. On the other hand, we must understand that curiosity will never end as long as you are still involved in the activity while gambling is always about risky activities which means that you will most likely only suffer more losses if you cannot ignore the curiosity in you, this is why a gambler must put a lot of restrictions.

Responsible and not-so-addicted gamblers can have breaks when they are losing because they know it won't do any good if they continue gambling because they have been constantly losing and if they continue, they will probably lose more which doesn't make it even. However, an addicted gambler wouldn't be able to do that because they can't let go of the losses and their mind will be stuck at that point thinking they will only stop if they recover their losses.

We all know what happens when a gambler goes to recover their losses, right? So when they try to do that and don't succeed, they don't give up just there but they keep trying until they have lost everything and then have nothing left to gamble with which is when they might stop.

Understanding variance and how it plays into gambling statistics is crucial. It’s reassuring to recognize that while bad streaks can occur, the likelihood of them being prolonged when the win probability is so high is statistically minimal. This perspective can definitely help players maintain a healthier and more optimistic outlook on their gambling experiences.

Each person does really have that kind of control on which there are some who cant really be able to stop and there are ones who could really be easily be able to stop midway. This is where we do really be able to see those individuals who do really end up on a bad situation and to those who are able to save up themselves because they have made out the right ones. It is really just that there are really that making themselves naive
because they are really believing that they could really be winners here on gambling field without even trying out to realize on how that reality works and on how it to deal with it.

Stopping losing streak would really be literally on the time that you would really be completely stopping on the time that you do gamble. We dont really know on when we would really be making ourselves
that being lucky since it is really just that pure random when it comes on winning.

That's right, the more we want to win back losses in gambling that have already occurred, the stronger the urge to continue gambling and that doesn't mean we will win, because as you said, this is a way that will definitely end in defeat, not end in victory, basically gambling is a game that is arranged by people behind the scenes and it is those who have the role of host who will always win because they are also looking to profit from the many people who gamble. and with them insisting on getting a win that means they are giving the home side an advantage.
However, it will not be able to eliminate the reality of defeats which will occur more frequently and turning them into wins is impossible. with the desire to continue pursuing victory will only push ourselves to losses that cannot be avoided. It's true what you said, we have to be smart in gambling, such as being wise in making decisions when we win or lose.

I've been on a losing streak since the pandemic. Although I got that money from bonuses, it still makes me very upset. I stopped playing for months, almost a year, and came back yesterday just to try if I will make it this time. However, just like before, I didn't have a good time, and I think I will never have the luck I had when I started in crypto gambling in 2015 until before pandemic. Although I earned before and bought things I like because of gambling, now, looking back, how I wish I didn't get into crypto gambling. My life would have become way better now and became a millionaire in our country. Gambling curse continues.

Winning or losing are two things that definitely happen when we gamble, but what is clear is that what will happen more often is losing, not winning. In fact, there are people who cannot accept this fact, so they dare to take big risky actions, such as risking the money they have and betting large bets, because instead of getting a big win and covering up the losses that have already occurred, what will happen is still the same. , and continue like that until they are trapped in losses that cannot be avoided, because whatever way they do it, they will not be able to change the terms of defeat which will occur more often.

The big possibility is that when gamblers win, it is possible that they will not bet again, in fact, when they win, the temptation to get a bigger win will become stronger. What you say is correct, not all houses will give us a win, even if we bet all our money it is not a guarantee that the house will give us a win, because what the house is looking for is profit from the number of people who gamble.

Do not think about your experience in that way, it is true that if you had not gambled that money away, in theory you may have had much more bitcoin now, but that is just the theory, the reality is that most likely you would have spend that bitcoin in some other activity which you would later regret anyway.

So as you can see, it is better to think about this as you not being ready to hold your bitcoin for the long term, but now it seems that you are ready, which means that if you give it enough time and you keep accumulating sats, at some point you will become a millionaire anyway.

We have a bad experience in the past but we have a chance to fix that bad experience so we will not repeats it again. We can't risks our bitcoin for playing gambling instead just hold our bitcoin for the long term and have a chance to make a profit in the future. But if we have lose streak in gambling again, we must introspect what happens to us and really needs to reduce our gambling activity.

We must hold our bitcoin and not use it for something that we don't needs because bitcoin is our investment and we wants to make a profit in the future. We must reduce our gambling activity and if we wants to still playing gambling, we can use the other coin or stable coins and not use bitcoin because we wants to accumulate more bitcoins. So that will not impact to our bitcoin because we save our bitcoin as our long term investment.

Hmm, yes, it seems like you are one of the gamblers who comes with the intention and purpose of making a profit, or what that means is that you place your hopes on the money you allocate for betting, where as you said, losing makes you feel very upset and usually this feeling is often present. Most gamblers come with the intention of winning which in the end, as we know, this is the mindset that will lead you to the addiction phase in the end.

But on the other hand, what makes me appreciate you is that you were able to restrain yourself and then stop from this activity for several months, and that is good because most of the other gamblers are just the opposite, where they act more aggressively in treating their gambling activities, I don't know the problem but what is certain is that they are unable to accept the fact that they have lost some money which in the end makes them return to gambling with the intention and aim of returning something that has been lost. On the other hand, I cannot conclude or guarantee that you will continue to lose, especially if you are involved in a type of gambling that relies purely on luck because it is possible that at certain times luck will come which will lead you to win a certain amount, another thing I suggest is don't Never put your hope in gambling on victory because after all, victory will always be a gray area where you can never know when it will come, and this is the reason why we have to gamble moderately and put lots of limits on several aspects.

That also a good factor as stress will increase and will create aggressions inside you, if you push yourself forward the chance that you may suffer more and as human, you also have that instinct that if you increase your bet it will quickly recover your money, but most of the time it just increase your risk and you continue suffering from more losing streaks even how high your chance of winning, there's no certainty and accuracy with how the outcome will come forward especially if you are in a type of a game of luck gambling, odds even in a 99% will still have that losing streaks to happen.

Well, stress is something that cannot be avoided sometimes and that can cause things to go very wrong, sometimes just because of that stress factor a person can have endless losing streaks and will be bad for a long time, and What's more, it will. He will be filled with rage, he will start to play harder because out of rage he can bet a lot more money and he will continue to lose, I wouldn't call it a losing curse, this is something very normal in games of chance, we have to see things from a different point of view. Correct, when we enter a situation we have the greatest option of playing and losing, or playing and winning, that is what we have to be clear about, if we lose then we have to maturely accept the design of the game, as well as when we win.

I have the same way of approaching lose streak, if you read the thread I made where I have a lose streak from February to March, I took a break to at least have a fresh start once I decided to gamble. Then when I gamble, I've won. I manage to multiply my deposited money by playing blackjack at that time. Though, I didn't try to play other games, I just took a break and it works. It's also a great strategy to cool my head as having a losing streak really is stressful.

Losing streak is quite stressful to deal with due to the struggle as pointed out above by other members. Gamblers, increasingly, have a difficult time dealing with losing streak. Some don't think of getting a break, as all they desire is making the lost money return back to the bank roll. Such thoughts pins a player to the game till he's so stressed out that he wouldn't think of making the right decisions like taking a break. The durations and timing of the game is quite very crucial because as a player that made it out of a losing streak and jumps back after a few minutes break, the brain may not have been balanced to focus on the fresh game.

Switching games on the other hands also can be followed with same method of extending the break. As a slot player going a day off is cool at my end. It enables me to think of other methods of approaching such an annoying experience of a losing streak. I prefer escaping a losing streak than finding myself in it and struggling for my way out. Gamblers who always experience a losing streak are not seriously taking their breaks into place. And a good number of them get addicted. The struggle to stop can be too tough till the player loses all his self control in the pursuit of money.

Everything is exactly as you described and I follow the same advice. Usually, when I experience such streaks it indicates that I am tired and need to switch to something else. Or it simply may not be my day which is also a possibility. In that case it's better to stop for a while.

but the decision making  is what important here , because even how the statistics says and the outcome yet it is the players decision to how long the chasing will turn into.
the more you know how to deal with gambling is the more you will gain from  it , try not to become addicted and of course never become greedy .

switching between games usually refresh the mind, for example you are too focused on the football matches, you got bad streaks you can easily switch over to UFC or basketball or whatever sport that you have knowledge of then it works as sort of mind refreshment when you see new things.
personally I really like footballs, basketballs and UFC even sometime its chess too, you know betting on those definitely have different experiences, even more so when you are watching the matches you definitely gonna have that pump of adrenaline.
but overall if you face lose streak, then its better to just rest for a week or a month to keep your mind fresh, always remember everything thats excessive isn't really good for you there is reason why people doing too much thing might messed up just like working, business and so on.

forcing your way out of problem after series of lose streak will make things worse only so this advice is really good for those that contemplating whether they should just force their way to make up for their losses.

It's a dangerous assumption, my friend. Let's imagine someone stakes $1,000 to have a "sure win" of $10 betting with 98% win chance. A bad luck strikes and he loses his bet, $1,000. Then he thinks? "I can't lose two times in a row with 98% win chance, right?" So, he stakes $100,000 this time to"surely" win his $1,000 back. And bad luck strikes again and he loses his $100k. Now, to recover $100k he needs to bet $10 million with 98% win chance. Would you, being in his place, borrow $10,000,000 somewhere and make that bet? I wouldn't advise doing that.

I use to remember those strategy during the old days of playing dice, something similar that since you think that you can't lose more than 5x in a 98% losing streaks then you'll just keep adding to your bet size to recover your loses only to find out that there's no assurance that the kind of losing streaks will take place.

You'll just ends up regretting that kind of strategy and lose a lot of money, thinking that it will bring something decent but in return it's just another bad time with your gambling sessions.

Can you imagine how many people could get rich with this strategy if it worked, but for every player, even with a large gaming bank, their losing streak will come, which will make winning impossible for them. I don't even know if this strategy has worked for anyone, because it turns out that if you apply it constantly, it will only be a matter of time before another streak occurs, that will last long enough to empty the entire deposit.

Well actually something that you do this yes may be able to be labeled as a strategy but leads to precautions by choosing to take a break when experiencing a losing streak to be able to make yourself calm, and I agree with your opinion that this is also a strategy but more directed to calm yourself. And on the other hand for the problem of the victory that you managed to get after you took a break I think it was a situation that you were lucky or meant that luck came at the right time, because if we talk about gambling then whatever the situation is no matter even if you are in peace if for example you are unlucky then you will also definitely end the session with defeat, but the point is that I agree with you that we must have a strategy to calm down or prevent emotions from dominating by stopping when experiencing a losing streak and returning later based on calmness.

Well if I were in a position to have a losing streak for weeks or up to a month even though it's not everyday but on a different interval honestly I'll definitely rest for a while. Now imagine in a case where an individual keeps betting everyday for straight one month, you could image how much they've lost on gambling, I'm not trying to say I'm perfect or I haven't had loses of course I have but then I won't allow myself get to the point.

 I would've definitely quit during the first week of loses for a while to rest my head because as we all know it's not good to gamble with an unstable mindset, having a losing streak for straight one month could destabilise someone's mental health and if they don't quit they could end up losing all their money to gambling  due to chasing loses and things as such is what makes someone become addicted.

In bad luck, switching games makes sense. New sport, vibes, maybe a new start? But are we fixing the problem or just distracting ourselves? It feels good in the moment, that rush of the unknown... but that high is temporary. We're not addressing the cause. You said it: too much of anything is bad. Football, basketball, or whatever, this is sports betting 101. Knowing when to retreat is the actual skill that sets pros apart. That advise about resting after a loss? Straight wisdom. Your mental game matters more than your bankroll, guy. Blasting through losses is a formula for disaster

I have lost to a point I began to doubt if gambling was actually for me. Losing streak is not a sweet experience, it drains the individual both financially and emotionally. Many people just increase their amount per bet when they lose with the hope of getting their money back and this further sink them into deeper losses just like @Fredomago explained. Understanding how gambling work, every gambler must be sensitive to know when they are experiencing losing streak and that the best thing to do in such a time is to reduce the amount of play per bet or possibly stop gambling for some time.

Yes, if you find yourself in a deep hole better to find ways to stop and quit, instead of pushing forward,  it's a best practice to make sure that you are still in control,  many gamblers lose a lot since  they think that the strategy will work for them only to find out that it's just draining their balance and by aggressions inside them, they will keep adding more and lose it to the house. So better to be aware and not to fall with that same situation.

You’re right, it does sometimes feel like just a distraction. But think of it as hitting the reset button rather than escaping the problem. It's like taking a deep breath when things get too intense. it doesn't solve everything but gives us a clearer head to tackle issues with fresh eyes.
And absolutely, stepping back after a rough patch isn’t just wise, its necessary. It's that ability to recognize when to pause that can really make a difference in the long run.
Plus, its always a thrill to dive back into the game with renewed energy and perhaps a better strategy.

This is also a way to not get caught up in a certain game for too long. When we play a certain game for too long, our brains easily get tired and lose focus due to boredom, accompanied by impatience and starting to place bets without thinking, leading to higher loss rate.

Playing too long also causes stress and anxiety, especially if you experience a losing streak. This will lead to players not being able to control their gambling behavior and betting excessively, causing losses to increase.

Normally, I would choose to completely rest and not have anything to do with gambling if I encountered this situation. Maybe you're lucky to find victory in another game. However, if you continue to lose in a new game, you will likely encounter the same situation as before and the situation will get worse. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better for us to stop playing for a long enough time to regain our composure before continuing to play.

If you increase the bet every time after a loss, this only means that the budget will be lost faster. This will be done by someone who does not know how to properly manage the game balance. Emotion also cannot be allowed to control your decisions, otherwise losing will be inevitable. You can take some kind of break, or if there are always more losses than wins, then there may be no point in even continuing to do this. No one is immune from a streak of bad luck, but if they happen too often, may be worth thinking about what the original reason was.

Yes because it is only by stopping that we will slightly avoid the possibility of greater or significant losses, or the point is that by stopping then obviously you will not lose anything, and if the scenario is like what you said where they can't stop at all even though they have experienced a lot of losing streaks then obviously we can imagine how devastated their financial situation is, But sometimes there are always some of them who really can't resist all the curiosity, especially this is gambling where obviously there are so many things that look tempting that they think that it might be the right time to take revenge with the aim of returning something that has been lost before which is actually nothing more than a temptation that will trap them.

So anyway, there is no other way but to quit or take a break if we don't want to experience greater losses, but yes as I said that for some gamblers who are really unable to accept the fact of losing then they will continue rowing until they eventually lose everything they have which in turn stress, depression or getting sick is a sure thing when someone is dominated by the pressure they are under.

True, recognizing when to take a break is essential in maintaining not only our focus but also our overall well being.
I appreciate your strategy of taking complete breaks. Its a testament to the importance of self care and responsible gambling. And also its great advice for anyone who wants to enjoy gambling while also keeping a healthy lifestyle balance.

It is true that when anyone pauses gambling and reset/refreshes his/her mind may help to make proper decisions about gambling and it may help the person to stop the curse of a losing streak. You better stop gambling permanently..

I was going so heavily on gambling and even when I lose I feel that I will win and recover with the next bet, and trying to reach that next bet always lead me to more loses, the outcome made me feel so bad and depressed at some point and it becomes a case of early addiction so best thing for me then is to quite totally.


I was so lucky that I was able to control my emotions at that point and being able to make it out and now I control how and when I bet and gambling is not carrying my attention away anymore.


Being able to control our gambling actions and how we react to things when it happens while gambling is very important to our safe stay in the gambling community the inability to control our gambling urge also leads to addictions so control is very important and necessary.

Absolutely, its all about self control. Its really impressive how you caught those early signs of addiction and made the strong decision to step back. That takes a lot of awareness and guts.
I'm totally with you on how crucial it is to keep tabs on how we handle our betting and our reactions to wins or losses. Being able to take a step back and really look at what we're doing is key to making sure gambling stays fun and doesn't spiral into something more serious.

Your experience proves that you can enjoy gambling without it taking over.

well indeed switching over to the new game is more of distraction, its just to refresh the mind nothing more and its probably just an escape from the lose streak but in my opinion it could helps a little to just calm the mind since with calmer mind it might lead to another future victory but can't deny the fact that like as you said, too much of anything is bad, i mean being too fixated so hard just because we are eager to compensate, thats definitely bad behaviour that might lead to another streak of losing just like you described.
at the end of the day, retreating just for the sake of not losing too much is always the best strategy, things can be sorted out in the future and all can wait.
what better is to make the right strategy before going in again, its true, pros knows when to retreat and thats what sets them apart from the newbies.
but it could also be just the nature of that pros in which they have calmer mind so they know what to do next and not to do some useless things.

True, basically very few people can identify about the signs of harm like this in gambling because most of them are really difficult to be able to achieve awareness in themselves which ultimately makes them fall further and further, and I would say one of the causes is too focused on winning or on the intention and purpose to produce which is where this mindset will be able to make you indirectly rule out about various bad possibilities that are actually intolerable in gambling.

Therefore, previously I have also suggested on several other pages about the importance of applying assertiveness to self-awareness when we are gambling, none other than because this will be very useful to help us identify signs that can lead us to many potential dangers which means that by having assertiveness in awareness, it is less likely for you to do things that you are not able to take responsibility for if the results are not appropriate.

I am pretty sure that most people already know that the strategy of doubling your bet each time you lose does not work, however there is a difference between knowing that fact and being able to remain calm under most circumstances and avoid using that strategy.

As when people are losing a great deal of their capital to the casinos, they may lose their calm, and in the process they may begin to use martingale against their best judgment, an action that rarely ends well and that produces way more losses over the long term.

It makes sense that switching games is not wrong, because that is one way to avoid losing streaks. but what is clear is that it is clear that you will not be able to eliminate defeat, even though switching games does not guarantee that defeat will disappear, because in gambling, defeat is bound to happen and this applies to all games, with the casino itself providing lots of games so that players do not get bored. just playing that game.
However, there are still many gamblers who cannot accept this, they still gamble even though they have lost by depositing their money back and want to complete what they want. With good thinking, in my opinion, it can not only be done by people who are pros, I think all gamblers can apply intelligent thinking as long as they understand what gambling is. If they still think that gambling is something that can give them quick profits, that is not a good understanding.

Yes, that's the purpose of that other games, casino do offers lots of games to avoid players or gamblers to quit out and stop playing when they've got bored with the game that they are playing, and same with your statement even you switch games there's no assurance that you'll be able to catch back and recover your lose money coming from the losing streaks that you experience from the pevious game that you play,

the momentum might switch if luck permits but not a guarantee that by switching you'll be able to gain and recover your money, you still need to control yourself to avoid making more mistakes and lose more than what you can afford to let go.

It's a good protocol to stop and quit just call it a day when you see that you are already losing your bankroll, pausing and resting yourself instead of trying to look for alternative games might save your butt from losing more.

If they still wants to double their money, they must thinks twice   doing that because gambling is not a place for that. They can only playing gambling without thinks about doubling their money instead just to have fun and enjoy their free time. If they still do that, they will see that doesn't work and they can lose much money before they can double their money. That can makes them lose streak without they realizes and that can makes them feels emotional. They will not realizes that they can lose more money than they can afford and when they lose money, their minds can't thinks clear.

Losing streak is something that they must avoids because that makes them feels sad because they can gets their money back plus they can lose more money. If they can't still realizes this, they will be bankrupt.

I agree with you, if gambling only has a few games, it is very vulnerable that players will easily leave and stop playing when they feel bored, but the smart casino holds many games which may be the goal as you said, with them to switch games so that they continue to play gambling, but even so, of course, the casino does not force every player to continue gambling, but in that way it makes sense to make players survive. It's true what you said, even by switching games it doesn't guarantee that you can get a win, of course defeat cannot be avoided for sure.
If you have lost in gambling, I myself prefer to rest by avoiding gambling, sometimes I am confused by those who when they lose are still gambling, but maybe it's because of their emotions that they can't control.

Switching to other games is good as long as you still have bankroll, jumping from one games to another will refresh your mind and you will not feel boring while gamble. But if people switch games in order to earn money and thinking the current games have no luck due to they ever win big, it's really wrong.

Gambling is just one of many ways to entertain, taking a break for few days or weeks aren't wrong if you're still emotional with previous losing streaks.

Yes it is true that switching games may be able to refresh the mind as you said because I also sometimes often do that when I play in online casinos especially in slot games which when I see the spin of the game looks to drain my balance very quickly then usually I will switch to some other game that is more fun and that has a spin that is not too bad so that my gambling session can last longer and I can feel the pleasure that is also longer, But of course if the purpose of switching games is to get a win and assume that the new game you choose 90% can bring victory then obviously as you say that is a big mistake, however and wherever you play it is always recommended not to put too much hope on winning because usually this mindset will only make us feel more disappointed and sorry when it turns out that the results are not what we want.

Exactly, gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity like any other but perhaps the difference is that you have to spend money as capital to be able to engage in gambling without having excessive expectations of winning and I would say that the best approach to gambling is to think that the money you spend is money to pay for the game you have played and enjoyed, and not as capital to be multiplied.

The best part on gambling that enjoyable the most is the expectation to win big when you play because this optimism makes you enjoy the game. It’s very hard to enjoy gambling without thinking about winning because that’s the only reason why we gamble. No one is gambling to lose or expecting to lose despite the odds of losing is high.

To enjoy gambling, You need to become optimistic and at the same time play only what you can afford to lose so that you will not experience the urge to recover losses in case the result is bad for you on that day.

Not a lot of people really adopt this mindset. If people only have this idea in mind, they wouldn't be so hungry in winning and would rather enjoy every minute they can in gambling with the money they can afford to lose. I understand that people gamble in hopes of multiplying their money, but gambling is an unfair way of making money because the odds will always be stacked against the gambler, so the best way to not get yourself pulled deeper into the pit is to really know your limits, stop when you're already thinking about chasing your losses, and play with the money that you're willing to forego that wouldn't affect you in a huge way.

Gambling can make you lose millions in a day if you can't manage to control your emotions and if you chase winning. Losing 3bets straight is not good anymore and an indication that we are not lucky today which we need to stop for a while. There is no other strategy to avoid major losses other than controlling ourselves and knowing when to stop. More gamblers get in trouble because they always think "What if I'm lucky in the next bet and win the jackpot". This kind of thinking will certainly be pushing us to lose more rather than saving our ass from happening.

      -     There is truth in what you said mate, when you are unlucky in gambling no matter what you do betting or avoiding, you will always be unlucky playing in any casino gambling platform for sure.

So I agree with what you say that taking a break is the only good way to avoid a big loss and it's better to come back on another day or opportunity because maybe on that day you'll be lucky, right?

People who cannot control themselves when gambling are not far away, they are likely to lose a lot of money, even though they have won, but if they cannot control themselves they can continue gambling by increasing the bet amount to be bigger and more risky for them. themselves, especially when a loss occurs with the balance they have or the winnings they have obtained are lost again, it is very likely that they will not be able to accept this. they may insist on gambling again because they want to recover the losses that have occurred.

Of course, losing in gambling cannot be avoided, but big losses can be avoided if we can control ourselves well as you said. One action that can prevent big losses is to stop when you lose, realizing that winning at gambling cannot be obtained easily, even though we insist on winning, there is nothing that can guarantee that it will be easy and that we can definitely win at gambling. the thoughts you say will only put them in an unfavorable situation.

Yes I understand that and we can't hide from the fact that after all it is the winnings that make gamblers feel good, but this is what ultimately becomes the problem or what causes problems for most gamblers, as you said it is the winnings that make gamblers feel good, but of course it is very important to just consider that the winnings are nothing more than a bonus that you get from the gambling that you play, because when a person is too much in terms of responding to victory then in the end like some cases that have happened a lot where instead of getting a bigger win but they instead suffer from losing large amounts slowly and I would say that it is the behavior of gamblers who try to take advantage of the opportunity to win in gambling when in fact the possibility of losing will continue to lurk during your session.

This is the reason why gamblers are always advised to put a lot of restrictions such as in terms of the time of involvement and the amount of budget and most importantly to limit the expectation of winning, everyone can win and winning can be very enjoyable but it is too dangerous to be taken too seriously, meaning that having a proper understanding of how gambling works and also limiting the expectation of winning is key.

5 times in a row with 98% win chance? I've never heard of such case to be honest. But as I showed above in my post, even two losses in a row with that win chance could be enough for you to lose so much that if you are a sane person you will not continue with your attempts to recover your losses. With five such losses in a row you can gamble away a budget of a small country. :)

Since you are talking about BlackJack, I have had both good and bad experiences until I discovered or let’s say confirmed the fact that the casino has a house edge which means you will always lose against them in the long run. You may experience some profits at the very beginning when you start gambling but eventually the casino will beat you, and that’s what happening to you right now.
I can share how I approach this situation, sometimes I choose to take higher risks, for example, betting 5$ a hand at the beginning, so whenever I lose I double the bet to a maximum of 20$ a hand and whenever I win I return to the 5$ hand. When I get so lucky I could manage to bring sole profits back. However, Most of the time I stop playing when I breakeven or at least win few bucks, knowing that if I continue playing, I would lose eventually.
Another option is changing the game from BalckJack to poker or even slots, But keep in mind that the chances of losing are way higher than winning anything, if you can’t afford your losses, it is better for you to stop gambling for some weeks or months.

Well, shit happens. I have seen it twice, not seen, getting a loss like this myself I mean. On tiny wager but still it's more than possible of course. 98% win chance on dice is roll over 2 or under 98. Getting a 0.01 - 1.99 is not that big of a miracle, just as high as losing losing 10 50% chances in a row, and I see that all the time.

In the casino in Berlin I once saw 3x 0 in a row ( the 3rd time I also bet on it ) and after a different number on the 4th spin the 5th and 6th spin was a 0 again. The odds of this happening, 5 0s in 6 rolls are incredible. Also in the same casino but a different day I saw 24 (or maybe even more) times the same color being rolled in a row. At 24 in a row the odds of this happening are like 12 million x, haha.

In other worse, everything is possible anytime, anywhere.

Aside from that hope also addiction push gambler to keep chasing, thinking that luck may find his way to back you up and immidiately will  give you the chance to recover your money, though the possible earnings might be too small but there's some who knows how to play with their emotions and manage to take some wins from the house, it's a case to case situation same deal with those who losses a lot as they experienced bad losing streaks.


Just like what you said, if you are not that addicted for sure there's something inside you that will push you to stop and not to continue that same strategy or it will push you to quit and call for the day, knowing that if another loss will burned huge amount of your bankroll or maybe will suck everything so better to quit than being sorry regretting your mistakes.

Yes, stopping for the moment helps in such a losing streak. But gamblers may find it hard to end the gambling session due to their involvement in the game being too strong such that their funds can't get forgotten easily. They'll play harder to earn their funds again. Gambling stress leads to a losing streak, the player wagers without calculating. Because his energy has been exhausted but his goal yet to be achieved. The type of goals players have in mind before starting a gambling sessions is also a cause to their inability to control losing streak.

Like in the discussed topic of doubling money immediately and leave, such goals can make a player forget about his losses and focus on doubling his money. Human expectations are insatiable, even when they win the money, playing further could be their next goal. So, nothing beats halting the process and rest for a next session. No day is a lucky day in gambling, but a player can be lucky enough next time and currently not to lose out all his funds trying to win as he expected.

Yes, it is usually in trading that I kind of have this experience: after trading for a long time, I become more anxious and tensed, which begins to give me a bad trade. But how I combat such a situation is to just avoid trading for a few days, and when I return, my mind is already refreshed. Such character is what I still apply to gambling. Some days or weeks I can make wrong predictions and run losses, but if I give myself total abstinence for some weeks, when I go back, I get more lucky. So, the way I prevent more losses is to take some breaks; it could be a 2- to 3-day break or even a week. 

I think all of the problem points start from having excessive expectations on gambling, which when someone has expectations on winning then as you said above that they will definitely continue to chase victory with a certain goal, whether it's to become rich or restore something that has been lost before, and also with you having excessive expectations on winning then usually you will always think positively or mean having high confidence at the beginning of the session that you will be able to win at the end of the session, and this is the wrong mindset because however the possibility of losing will always be a part that can never be separated.

This is the reason why gamblers are always advised to limit their expectations of winning, as it is clear that this mindset will only bring you closer to more regrets especially when you are away from luck.

Some people see gambling as a means to make a fortune for their future, such people will never stop chasing their losses because of this mindset of theirs. Even if you tell them not to chase their losses, they will not listen to you because they have ready made up their minds and willnot just let go of all their losses.

How wish those gamblers can understand that gambling is give and take, the casino gives you the entertainment and you pay for it, that is why you should only gamblw with the amount that you can afford to use for paying for the game that you enjoyed. I guess that if a lot of gamblers know that they will lose more than they will profit from gambling, they will not gamble.

That can indeed happen, with gambling which has its own strong attraction, it can make it difficult for them to quit gambling even if they experience a losing streak. If you think that gambling stress causes consecutive losses, in fact, in my opinion, it is the losing streak that makes gamblers stressed. Their inability to accept defeat is what puts them in big trouble. Big losses cannot be stopped if they themselves cannot limit themselves in gambling. by them doing excessive gambling, such as by playing harder with their budget that continues to be added to be able to win, however, defeat cannot be avoided for sure. defeat has become an obvious thing that will happen.

The mistake lies in their goals. Many gamblers whose goal is to double the money they bet. Apart from that, with them like that it is very likely that they will not pay attention or think about the aspect of defeat that is certain to occur. and when they experience defeat, they cannot accept it, so this gives them the urge to gamble again with the aim of turning things around.

Will let go till they still got money to use, the kind of mindset that mostly suffered from huge addiction, remember gambling is so addicted even sometimes you already in the winning streak, instead of quitting and take your profits, you'll push ahead and think of trying to recover those amount that you already lose. Eventually you'll just lose it back and add it up to your losses.


Hahaha, for entertaiment purpose, yes it's easy to think like that, but no, gambler most of them thinks that they can take advantage and win some from this venue of entertainment.

Yes that is always the first disease that gamblers have which in the end the idea will only trap themselves in many problems especially losing balance in their finances. I think it is a fact that gambling can never be used as a place to earn because there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning, we must understand that winning always depends on luck while luck will only happen occasionally and by "chance" which means that out of 10 sessions you might only be able to get 3 - 5 wins and that also rarely happens.

On the other hand what you said is true that even though we have told them about the dangers of having intentions and goals to earn in gambling in the end for them it is nothing more than a passing wind, or something that they will not hear at all, I don't know the exact reason but what is certain is that they already have such a high level of belief and hope in winning that it makes it difficult for them to be able to think clearly and rationally. And yes, it's true that seeing gambling as a paying game is a pretty good mindset that can keep you from getting serious about winning.

Once a person has convinced themselves that things are supposed to work in a certain way, it is almost impossible to persuade them, especially when it comes to money matters, as they will think they are so much smarter than you are and that you cannot understand their ingenuity.

So the only thing that can convince people like that is undeniable evidence they are wrong, and when it comes to gambling, this often means monstrous losses they cannot ever hope to recover.

I wonder why many individuals would still see something that has a very high risk rate as a medium for earning a living they fail to understand that it’s not good to place your fate on something that luck plays a big role in and there's a possibility that you could only win once or twice out of 10 trials that's why it's advised that gambling should be seen as a means of entertainment and not a platform to make money.

  I think most people who see gambling as their final hope are those that's been living in poverty and out of frustration would be looking for any means to be financially balanced and that's why they'll barely give listening ears to advice since they've set their mind on it already. But then they're making the wrong choice cause it could help them become increase their poverty rate. The fact that not everyone wins a jackpot should be an eye opener to them.

the typical gambler who is very difficult to advise is the type of gambler we often see in casinos, because usually this type of gambler is very selfish and doesn't think about the impact of his gambling on his finances. he doesn't think about the bad effects when he gambles, because the most important thing for him is how he can gamble and catch up on his losses. it's really a pity to see the family of this type of gambler, because usually his family will be tormented by how his behavior is quite aggressive and very difficult to deal with.

You should not be a gambler like that because you already know that gambling will not give you win easily. You also don't need to chase the losses you have experienced because that could make you lose more. You only need to apply restrictions when gambling so that you can control your losses.

If you have experienced loss several times, you should immediately think about stopping gambling immediately. It would be better for you to avoid another loss. You can also save the rest of your money from losing so you can use it to gamble another day.

By always thinking about the losses we can experience, we will try to avoid loss after loss from gambling. We don't want to experience big losses, so we should be careful when gambling. Moreover, we can control losses with this limitation so they don't get bigger.

Setting limitation is the best protection to avoid losing more, if you can practice that and you avoid exceeding from what you
set for your limits then gambling will allow you to enjoy your daily or whatever routine you've got.


Correct, instead of thinking of any other strategy to push forward better to quit and stop your session for sure it will allow you to refresh and not to lose more money.


Indeed, if we can control our emotions it will help us not to lose more money, just enough and amount that you can easily let go.

Yes, it is true that this is what makes it difficult for me to think and find reasons why they still think of making gambling a place to earn or a place to earn income, none other than because after all in common sense and a rational mindset the idea can never work because after all as I said that gambling is always at risk where winning will only happen when you are lucky which means that if you are unlucky then obviously you will lose and lose the amount of money that is bet.

On the other hand in my opinion this is the beginning of a gambler ending up addicted and experiencing a lot of problems and all of that happens because they gamble but are not armed with the right understanding of how gambling really is, and as you said above and I agree with it that it is too dangerous an idea to seek income in a place that only relies on luck and yes this is the reason why a gambler is always advised to see gambling as a means of entertainment without putting any seriousness and hope.

Another thing is that I quite agree with you that most likely treating gambling in the wrong way will be done by people who are having financial problems such as those who are poor which is a fact that there are usually some people who go to any means just to get money because they are under pressure in their financial problems such as those who are desperate to steal or rob and maybe it is also no different from trying to make gambling a place to earn, even though it is wrong but when someone is dominated by desperation then the idea is very possible for them to do.

You're talking about a problem that is inherent to many types of gambling. There's a reason that casinos and sportbooks make massive amounts of profit each year. With casinos it's because they're offering games where they up front tell you that you're destined to lose money every play by a certain percentage. In sportbooks they do massive data analysis and human tweaking to offer specific odds - on top of which they work in a buffer amount to give them even higher profits. A losing streak is expected behaviour on a regular basis when you are facing this scenario.

That's right and that's why we should always keep it in mind and never risk an amount that we can't afford to lose because the chances of your losing "are zero". They never zero. Never. The same way you can hit the jackpot in Mega Millions or Powerball when you have one in 300 million chance of winning, you can hit an unbelievably long losing streak, and should be ready for that.

You're talking about desperate folks who think gambling will get them out of debt. Fucking tragic, man. They're desperate, but using luck is pointless. The insidiousness of gambling addiction is alarming. It starts tiny, a "harmless" gamble here and there, then dopamine addiction sets in. They start pursuing losses, lying to loved ones, and losing control

We need to talk about this crap to teach others how gambling exploits the weak and desperate. We must show sympathy and support to those already affected because it's not about willpower, it's about rewiring that darn brain. It's not acceptable to watch individuals ruin their life. Understanding the problem and reaching out can lead to recovery.

Most gamblers are very responsible with the amount of money they bet, it is just a minority that are unable to control themselves, and unfortunately for them this tendency will keep showing up and it will make them to suffer huge losses.

It is because of this I think those people should not gamble at all, since even if they could learn to control themselves at some point, the costs they will incur during that process will be so high, that it is not worth at all to go through all of that just to learn such lesson.

If they understand it and know how gambling really works I sure there will be no mistakes in decision making, but unfortunately most gamblers don't take this seriously and they only think about how to win and profit.
In gambling, the percentage of losses will always be much greater and those who take risks by risking money that is much higher than the acceptable amount will only suffer disappointment and also feel devastated by the defeat.
It is true that no one knows what the opportunities in gambling will be like, the chance of winning always comes unexpectedly but the chance of losing is always right before eyes and is something should worry about, no gambler will truly get big profits without losses.

After all, no gambler can avoid losing and they can only rely on luck to avoid it, but this is not easy and can never be achieved every time.
Indeed, the only best way is to use money that has been limited and be able to accept it when it is lost, forget about jackpots or big wins because actually when we enter gambling that is the time when we have to suffer defeat.

You are right, and for those who don't know, the casino games are watching, those times you spend on them are very important for them to turn your luck away from you, taking some time off will reset that, many people don't know this.

Casino games are monitoring spirits, they know humans will want to win, and they always want to win, so like you said OP, if things aren't favoring you for too long it is best to take and break and choose a different game, I have also tried it and it worked for me.

Sometimes before I would change the casino and go for another online casino, but now changing the game after a week off is a good resetting strategy, it is true that we can't avoid losing but you shouldnt be losing for a vwry long time, even as someone who likes risking small amount it becomes noticeable that i have been losing for too long.

I disagree that most gamblers think only about how to profit from their gambling. People are not so stupid in general. Yes, about 5% of all gamblers have this condition called "problem gambling behavior", and those people do think their gambling can be profitable in the long run, but, as I said, it's only 5% of those who gamble think like that, most gamblers treat gambling the right way.


Not "much greater", just slightly greater, to be honest.
