Taking a break from gambling

[Bellator]

I once had an experience in gambling, at first I always won a gamble and it made me even more crazy with gambling, but after the last few weeks I experienced defeat in gambling, and after I did an analysis of myself it turned out to be a mistake I do is lack of control in me so I keep following my passions so that I can always win in terms of gambling, whereas in gambling activities there will certainly be times when we experience defeat and victory.

We won't take control on the gambling itself. But we do have control on ourselves in engaging in gambling. It could be quite addicting especially when one has been winning initially. But it won't be that case always. One should descipline oneself from overspending and deciding due to an impulse of emotion. This is very applicable in crypto market.

Taking a break from gambling is good. Maybe you won't even feel the impulse to gamble and then who knows perhaps you won't be a gambler? Its worth a try

Once in a while you just have to take a break from all gambling activities so that you don’t continue losing money or when you feel that you have been too consistent in gambling and that you might run the risk of even becoming an addict.

Also important that you detach yourself from all unwanted stuff and especially where money is involved you better be staying away because it can take away your money as you lose the bets rather  than wining the amount from it.

Gambling is just made for fun purposes only if you become addicted to gambling make sure that you can control yourself from being addicted because if not, you can lose a large amount of money.
There are many people in gambling that lose all of their savings due to addiction you must play only limited times or a small amount of money just to play for fun, not for living or any reasons that can push you to become addicted.

Luckily I can control myself from gambling all the time. I knew gambling because of crypto and the tempting promotion able to attract me to gamble without thinking especially for dice.
For some people may be difficult because it's become their nature to gamble but as long as they able to responsible with their action, it's OK.

lucky for you, because not everyone can control themselves at gambling.
maybe you have had a bitter experience at gambling, so you can learn from your experience. so that you can master the self-control that every gambler must have

It is hard for someone to be able to control themselves in gambling. Most of the gamblers even admit that they can control themselves but the reality is that they can't even make their selves have a breather on gambling. I know a lot of gamblers that say this things and it is really embarrassing when  you see them play because they are really into it proof that they are not really controlling them selves but them being controlled by their emotions and being pushed too by the excitement of his friends.

At least, we need to learn how to control ourselves at the gambling so we can prevent to lose much money. Although it will difficult, we need to keep trying to control because this is worth for you if you have a plan to stop playing gambling in someday. With controlling yourselves, you can be able to stop the game in anytime you want and this will help you to take a break from gambling.

You could detach yourself from gambling and out your money into other stuff.
Those who are risk takers just can stop themselves from doing such things. For them a good investment would also be good but they will fail because they have not patience. In gambling though patience is less important for games like dice,slots etc. So its what attracts them to it. Trading is also not their cup of tea because they are not willing to do any analysis or study.

Some people do end up with a bitter experience but they still dont learn their lesson. Say they promise to give up gambling but after 2weeks they are back. Self-control is important and determination to stick to the rule is also important.

It is very important to take some rest from gambling and spend more time with your family. You will be mentally relaxed and your money will also be saved. Regular gambling will take you to the worst conditions and it is not good for you and for your family as well. There are many other activities in the world for entertainment and enjoyment. You can engage yourself there.

Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.

Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.

For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Taking a break was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.

Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

As of now I am not yet stopped gambling even for a day. But I see to it that I will never spend too much of what I intend to bet. what we need to do in order to avoid bug losses is to control our betting and don't get too hooked up in gambling.

I dont see why instead of quitting the solution cant be to just reduce the amount gambled, to whatever is a reasonable budget.   So that could be as little as what you spend on snacks for a week, so really small amounts but if the gamble pays off then you get the larger amount to roll forward.

If people can stick to keeping a sensible budget then I see no reason to quit however if its beyond self control at this point and the idea of a budget is laughable then I'd agree that just an absolute stop may be the best thing after all.  I recognise thats the correct strategy for some but also I dont believe any person can avoid the concept of risk in their lives, its just a naturally occurring thing that has to be dealt with every day to some extent hence why I mention money budgeting as maybe the real dilemma to resolve long term

The family is the most reason for us to take a break or stop from gambling because they are our life. Spend more time with family can take our mind to stop thinking about gambling because we want to have fun with them. We need to balance our lives between family, activities or work, friends and even gambling so we can know which is important in our life.

Well, I had thought about that, but I opted to take a break because I was also losing too much time with it.
Okay, I could have limited the time spent on gambling as well, but I was honestly getting a bit tired of gambling.

I haven't started again, but when I do, I will get a better grasp on my spending habits and the amount of time spent on gambling.

Side note: Might lock this thread soon if there aren't any interesting replies anymore. Just to avoid this turning into a spam thread.

Also taking break is a good sign because you yourself can judge that whether are you really got hooked up to ht e gambling or not and can you stay without it for some months or not. Priority must always come first and that one should be setting what is important to them.

Taking some rest from gambling is very important and necessary because your mind will refresh and when you back to gambling your mind will be clear for gambling. Just as the doctors say that atleast one day rest in a week is mandatory for physical and mental relaxation. When you back to work on Monday, you will be fresh and will work enthusiastically.

Very noble of the OP to make this thread, very honest. I have the utmost respect for you. I think we all gamble too much at times. You’ve done the right thing in stepping away for a bit though buddy.

I used to gamble fairly big amounts on football games with low odds so I would win often. A couple of times I got stung and lost though & it’s an awful feeling, an empty & sickness feeling.

I wish you all the best.

when someone recognizes that they can control themselves, it is just the opposite, and it is true that only emotions become instability in themselves

because sometimes they still don't believe what they experience. when they had suffered a big defeat at the court. it does not give them experience, but rather makes them more eager to restore their defeat. which in the end will only fall deeper

it's easy for you to do that, because you are not a gambler. but very different from gamblers, they only think of their pleasure when gambling without thinking about their family

I'm confused, you advising to rest from gambling so that you can go back again play after you reset? Doesn't make any sense at all. I know people are gambling to have some fun, so they reset then what's gonna happen to them?

Anyways, there's nothing wrong with taking a break specially if you are losing big money in gambling. And the next time you go back, you will be mindful of your spending habits and most probably gamble just small amounts because you don't want to go wasting your time and at the same time losing more money.

Most of the time, some of the people who always end up an addict in gambling gets their family affected as well as they tend not to even have time for themselves, let alone their loved ones. Steps like this are always a good thing to step back and reason with you.

Yes, it is not a necessary thing to quit completely at least if you know you are actually doing it for fun, but there are sometimes, based on your budget and your pocket, there are actually point where you may really want to cut down on some things, even if it is classified as fun for you and I feel it is not a bad idea to always take a step back once in a while as there are so many things you can do for fun anyway without having to pay so much for it.

You are right that in gambling, gamblers always lose their money and win seldom. It is good to keep aside for some time and if possible quit forever. When you leave gambling for some time, you may be able to give less time to gambling and finally you may able to quit gambling completely. If you give more time to your family friends and relatives, you will feel relaxed.
