Give it a break.

[Lida93]

Give yourself a break.
This is one measure or strategy I use in my gambling technique to curtail losses upon more losses. Immediately I realize I have made many streaks like about 5 to 7 streaks for the week and I haven't made any win at least out of these numbers of streaks the next action is to give it a break for another new week to come. Believing that it's not my week and there's no need trying more as I will only end up break my bank for nothing at the end.
I do this for a long time now and it works for me by saving me from incurring wasteful losses and also having/saving me some money  for the next week to come. Indirectly this strategy also help to moderate my gambling habit and uncontrollable addiction tendency, and it also provide me the chance of having money for any winning opportunity that might come up for the new as I gamble.

At this point what do you think about this gambling strategy I use? Although yours may not be with 5-7 streaks in a week you can also set a number of streaks convenient with you to use. Or is there anyone out there already using this strategy and how beneficial has it being to you?

What I do is that I have money that I set weekly for it, if I lose more than it, I stop gambling that week, no matter what. If I win and lose and the money has not finished, I can continue to gamble if I still see it interesting that week. I only go for gambling budget and just not more than 5% of my week income.

There's no such strategy in gambling especially if you're playing slots where the result is completely random based on provably fair system. You may able to beat the house today by using so called strategy, but there's no guarantee you will win tomorrow, next 2 days etc using the same strategy. You need to know your limit and don't chase your losses, it will make you losses more and regret what you've done.

This strategy might only works for predictable games like sport betting and not on luck based games because the results for luck based games doesn't guarantee you positive returns the next time you play. I think wait really matters if for everyone to know their limit and don't excess it. One way to know or determine your limit is by having money kept aside for gambling.

When that money get exhausted then you know it's time to stop betting. Profits made shouldn't be kept in that account or you'll exhaust all when gambling. The only money that should be there should be your gambling capital and it can be top on as you keep winning your bets.

For me, if I incur 3-day losing streak, I will stop for a while just to shake the jinx away. I believe that there are lucky weeks and there are not-so-lucky weeks. If I started to see that it is not a lucky week for me, then I would stop betting for that whole week and come back again the next week. It would reset my focus, take me away from bad thoughts about losing and give me time to replenish my funds.

I think your strategy is good. As long as it works for you, stick with it.

Currently, I'm on a losing streak, and a few days from now, I might take some break as well to prevent further losses.

Having this kind of strategy really helped me to be disciplined, to be aware of the losses that I get. Having self-control and knowing when to stop really is a big factor when it comes to gambling. Giving yourself a break especially when you are a losing streak is needed so that you don't regret in the end because you might lose your money on the process.

I've been this using strategy for months already, and it really helped me a lot. On the other hand, I'm not only using this kind of strategy when I'm losing, but also when I'm winning. Giving myself a break also on winning would secure my winnings, and I'd do that all day than putting all of my winnings again and gamble it knowing that there is a chance that I might lose my money. It's my way of securing my winnings.

Give yourself a break both when you are losing and at the same time winning.

You need to tailor a bit more this strategy and those 5 sessions to put in one and call it a day whatever the result is,lost money or won,I have been doing this for some couple of years now and it helps achieve the same thing you are calling to give it a break,the only difference is that I instead of doing several small sessions,I use only one big one and play longer for that time,usually midweek,Wednesday or Thursday as I have this belief in those days fewer people gamble and chances are higher for me to win in slot machines  .

I think that it is quite a conscious and useful thing not to get involved in the race and not to look for luck, especially after several failures. I decided for myself a long time ago that I need to go on vacation after 2-3 wins or after 3-4 losses when it comes to real bets.

This is only effective on those games: card games, sports betting, and other games except slots, because in slots you have the possibility of getting those lose streaks and even more. Though this should be the basic rule in gambling, we need to be able to control ourselves when it comes to losing. Though it doesn't mean that we are all using this, most of us, when we get into a losing streak, we should take a break, relax, and have a beer to ease the emotions, but there are still others chasing their losses, which, as you said, will break break their bank accounts.

Giving yourself a break is almost the same as maintaining a discipline on your habit. The problem with gambling stems from its addicting and rewarding nature. For example, regardless of the result in a game, the person would almost always bet again (win/loss). This can definitely be deceiving especially if a person gambles frequently and he thinks that he won in a given game, but in reality, his total losses are overwhelmingly bigger than his winnings.

I agree- give yourself a break and give time to reflect on your actions. If you struggle with this kind of discipline, then take measures (e.g. bring only a handful amount of cash, etc.) to at least force yourself to stop.

No strategy can work against the house edge. You are either lucky or you are not. Instead of getting obsessed with finding the right strategy (which don't exist) you should focus on risk management. Because the more you lose you spend even more to make up for your losses and then you lose even more. Here is your mistake.

When you lose too much, you should just walk away and come back when you are ready.

Giving yourself a break from time to time is the strategy that every responsible gambler is following. So, you are doing it right, in my opinion. Not only you are saving money this way, but you also make your future experiences more enjoyable. And to those not following this strategy I want to say: Don't make a boring work out of fun, which gambling should be in the first place.

[coin-investor]

This is gambling you never know when you're streak will end, you may have 5 losing streaks but you just never know when the losing streak will end and when the winning streak will begin, but if you decide to stop because you think you need then its good for you, but it's not the rule that any gambler can or will follow, especially those who don't care about losing and winning and just want to have fun, it's their choice to play not because of the streak.

[Wexnident]

Just don't treat it as a job or something really. It's supposed to be something enjoyable, regardless if you're there to try your luck or just to, well, spend money. You can chase for wins, but you don't need to stress yourself for it, just imagine how people casually play other types of games. Winning is fun, much more so if money is involved, but it shouldn't be everything.

If you were really having a hard time with it, I guess you can try gambling with friends that have better control than you. Just the act of having someone to play with makes everything much more enjoyable, so really, even if you lose big I reckon it'd be fine with you since it's going to be all fun and games.

[AicecreaME]

It's really the best decision for yourself to refrain from gambling even more the moment you experience consecutive losses. It's not wise for someone to continue betting after experiencing loss after loss because you'll just incur more and more failed bets in the long run due to having little mental headspace and tolerance to win. Your emotions will fluctuate and you'll eventually feel tilted which could affect your decision-making and strategy in betting.

The best time to continue gambling is after calming yourself. The moment you have full control over your emotions and actions wherein your mind isn't clouded to make judgments anymore is your cue to try gambling again. Of course, still take not of your budget allotment in gambling to not go overboard and regret later.

[bitbollo]

Take a break from gambling Is always helpful and allow to understand what Is going good and what is going wrong.

Of course any idea that help user to maximize profit Is really important to be adopted.

[robelneo]

I remember giving myself a week off but it was not because I'm losing I'm just too busy with my work that I need to concentrate on it, have experienced one time one week of losing at a casino even on peer-to-peer sports betting but I never thought of taking a week off.
Taking a break is good so can gauge if you can take the gambling out of your mind in a given time, so yeah I recommend a break, if you have a losing streak or because you just want to take a break.

It's actually a good strategy and most of the gamblers I knew here in the forum do it also.
Whenever there is a losing streak happening they try to rest the next day, giving an opportunity for the brain to work better after the rest and analyze the game better. Most of them are in sports gambling.
It's different for me though, I still do my daily bets but I will minimize them when I feel like it's not doing pretty well.
Like 3/7 or 2/5 in consecutive days, that's already an unlucky day for me. The next day I may feel like only doing 2 bets or 3 and see where it will go.
Strategies like yours require discipline so I wish you can keep that kind of plan. Good luck.

[kamvreto]

the success or failure of this strategy depends on how well you manage your rest. If you continue to lose when you start gambling, you need to think of another strategy. But at least you have to manage your finances for gambling, so that too much money doesn't go into gambling.
Take a little rest and pause your gambling activities, this will give your brain space not to depend too much on gambling.
Do you gamble for profit or just for entertainment?
If to get profit, you have done the right way, reduce losses by stopping for a moment, giving room for your common sense.

[Natalim]

You need to be very disciplined in order to do that. You must be at a level where you are very serious about gambling, treating it as a strategy for making a living. It's not easy, mate. I have tried it, but I was only good in theory. In practice, I failed most of the time. Let's just say I don't want to miss out on the action.
