Don’t push playing more

[Solosanz]

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

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

I'm not

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[alastantiger]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[inthelongrun]

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

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

[Mauser]

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

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

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

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

Your experience, is our experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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