Taking a break in gambling

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?

Let me say that you just use that as an excuse to take a break from gambling, it's not so weighty as far as I'm concerned. Still, I congratulate you that you are able to do it. Had it been is some people, they would not be able to achieve that, so kudos to you as it means that you are not addicted to it

But addiction or not, my crypto investment can never be the reason why I will leave/ take a break. The money for investment and the money for gambling are not just the same thing, they do not mix as well in my portfolio, so why should I quit one for another? I even have it more than you even have as I have it in trading, investment and gambling portfolio, needless to say, that my investments are many, and are not in crypto alone. But still, I can't leave one for the other.

This is not to advise you or query your decision. I am only curious about what could have made you leave gambling for such unless you are not the type that really likes it. Especially football betting, I do not think that some people can quit it or take a break from anything, they would rather reduce their wagering to encourage savings and investments. But not to take part of the feelings therein? They will not dare it.

IIRC the only time I have a serious break on gambling that literally zero activity is when I have eye surgery recently. This break is a must due to my eye condition so I don’t have real break on gambling base on my own will.

I believe the only time I can possibly take a break on gambling naturally is when I don’t have time anymore to do it because I’m busy on important aspect of my life such as business and family which is right now still balance even with gambling.

I guess I would only take a break in gambling if I would go bankrupt as that time I will be not in capacity to gamble anymore. As to my activity in gambling, it doesn't require a lot of time as I can choose and bet on the team I like and wait for the outcome, that's how simple it is. However, if I get addicted then that might change which hopefully it will not happen to me. I mean, I was addicted once but it wasn't too serious. I heard there are people who have severe addiction that they loss their job because of it, that I don't want to happen to me.

i have personally been taking a break since I have had to take care of some stuff going on in my life. If I was not I think I would also try not to gambler anything beyond a few dollars per session, because in this entry in the bull market I am also indeed in the expectation to hold as many Satoshis as possible to further harden my position in the market. When I am not gaming or dealing with in real life stuff, I like to draw and play some video games in my spare time, I also like to chat with friends and call them so I can practice my English vocabulary and pronunciation. In my opinion, if anyone reaches a point where they do not further feel pleasure while gambling and becomes a stressing experience, then to me it is a clear signal that person needs to take a very needed rest or break from gambling as a whole, ideally investing that gambling time to have a lovely time with family members.
Anyways, regardless whether anyone of you are taking a break from gambling or actually feeling some of the greed taking over due to a very good luck streak in the casino, remember to be responsible and never gamble more than you are willing to lose to bad luck. 

I agree that combining work and relaxation requires finesse. Keeping gaming to a few bucks per session is wise; I've advocated it. It emphasises financial responsibility while enjoying the game.

Draw, play video games, and speak with pals to show a balanced lifestyle. Congratulations on enriching your life and improving your English with these activities. Remembering that diversifying our hobbies can make life more fulfilling. You're right to warn against gambling stress. I agree that we should recognise when an activity becomes tedious.

I strongly support your gambling responsibility call. Never gamble more than you can lose. This protects mental and emotional health as well as cash.

I know it's sometimes not really easy to quit nor take a break at once but then you shouldn't have to wait till you are bankrupt before you stop because that's almost a sign of addiction which may lead to irresponsible and unhealthy gambling habit which is actually detrimental to both your finances and healthy and by extension the people around you too so you don't have to wait for such to happen to you first. Except you gamble exclusively for fun of which is still not too good because too much of anything or everything cause harm at some point

If you don't want such negative effect of addiction on you then you should quit or take a break at this point before it becomes too late and you are no longer able to to stop meanwhile you have lost so much already to the unhealthy habit, gambling must be done with caution and sense of responsibility.

Even then, you can still look for other options so that you can gamble.
Ive several times found people who can be said to be financially bankrupt but continue to make every effort to be able to continue gambling because they think there will be something missing if they cannot gamble and things like this will become a common thing to happen when we are already in a severe addiction regardless of whether we are bankrupt or still in good condition financially they will gamble to make the desire that is in him exceeded so in this case the problem when bankrupt is not a guarantee that we will stop gambling even though there may be a slight change in gambling activities carried out.

A break? We should normalise this. Gamble like any other action requires balance. Holding onto your crypto is smart and shows foresight. Yes, freebies are fantastic, but they're not everything. Time to speak turkey. Breaks show strength. Recognising we're humans, not machines. We perform best with downtime. These breaks help us think clearly and make informed choices. Why rest? To protect our health and maintain control. Setting and maintaining boundaries is key. Understanding that there's a world beyond the screen with opportunities and experiences no amount of gambling can deliver. Remember, it's about steering your path with purpose, not stopping

It's not easy to stop gambling for a while because we still think we can get pleasure from gambling. Stopping gambling can help us to calm our minds and also keep our gambling expenses from getting too big.
Stopping gambling can also prevent us from gambling addiction that may already exist within us which makes it difficult for us to stop our gambling activities. And even if you gamble for fun, stopping gambling is still recommended to avoid the desire to continue gambling activities.
By stopping gambling, we can avoid the negative effects of gambling so that we will not gamble excessively. This is also to be able to maintain distance from gambling so that there is no feeling of wanting to gamble again.

I never thought about taking a break from gambling, because I am not an active gambler so I don't need to think about it, even if you want to take a break I will prefer useful activities, such as investing some of my money, planning a trip for healing so that I can escape from all the burdens on your mind, and much more, unless you are an active gambler it will be difficult to do this

Gambling addiction will be quite difficult to cure and even if they have nothing they still intend to gamble at all costs. The psychological impact of gambling addiction will indeed end very badly, but it cannot be seen how someone can stop or not, but rather how they position themselves in gambling as an alternative when they want to stop. Gambling responsibly is the desire of many people but some people get stuck with an addiction once they enjoy gambling and eventually find it difficult to stop.

There are times when we need entertainment and occasionally come to gambling places as a way to find new things for inspiration, even though we rarely find such people. But at the same time, you must also be able to control gambling so that it doesn't affect your finances for the worse, especially if your income is unstable.

We are the same, of course we don't need to think about quitting if we are not active gamblers, I don't rule out the aspects that are always recommended for a gambler especially in terms of limiting the time in gambling such as "quitting" but maybe this is more recommended for those gamblers who are quite active in this activity which of course by knowing when to stop then this can minimize all the bad possibilities, such as you will not experience a significant amount of defeat because emotions can be slightly minimized when you don't gamble too often.

So the conclusion is "stop/rest" in gambling is much more recommended for those people who have entered the addiction phase even though on the other hand I understand that this is an action that is not easy for them, but there is no other way to prevent all unwanted possibilities except knowing when to row and when to pull over.

When you take a break in doesn't mean you are running from gambling or don't want to gamble again. Taking brake is normal, others have taken breaks in gamble and other things that takes their money.
Bitcoin is about to hit the top, it is good you want to take some brakes so you can accumulate Bitcoin so when you make more profits from Bitcoin you will gamble. It is not only gambler that's addicted that are taking brakes on gamble, IMO addicted gamblers can not take brake in gamble as their addictions is much.

How do you guys manage to take a break in gambling? I’m not asking for advice but rather I’m just interested to know what you are doing on your own or if you really do a break.

It is simple, by not gambling for a planned time.  Although I check casinos bonuses and promotions, I refrain myself from gambling.  the most I can do is simulate a session by playing demo mode and see if I can bag a good win if ever I play on that day.  No matter what the result is, I will not play with actual money.  It beats the purpose of taking a break in gambling.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?

The obvious reason is the lack of free funds, the other one is the consecutive losses.

It is indeed better to take a break from gambling for good, and choose to invest the money to buy Bitcoin or other Alcoins. Because both are risky, but the risks in Crypto are more measurable and can be studied. However, not all gamblers will understand and understand that there are still many ways to play with risks and opportunities. Those who are addicted to gambling games will think that gambling is the pinnacle of all risks and pleasure. Another manifestation of the pleasure of gambling is luck, yes, when you are lucky in gambling someone will tend to talk about their winnings for several days.

It sounds quite strange, but what I have seen and learned from gambling addicts so far, the pattern is almost the same as what I mentioned above. It's good to stop gambling temporarily, it would be better if you stopped for good. There are lots of other activities you can try besides gambling, and gambling capital can be very useful if used for other activities, although it is not used to invest in Crypto.

I recently decided to take a break since I want to hold my crypto due to its increasing value and I don’t to spend it while it’s giving me passive profit. I just claiming bonus now or anything that is free to still enjoy gambling without risking my money.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?

In your case, you are not really taking a break because you still play gambling using those free monies. A true break in gambling is when you don't visit any casino for quite some time. Now in my case, the instance that makes me take a break in gambling is when I don't have any money left in my online wallet.

It's not that I'm too addicted for you guys to say that why I always empty my wallet but it's just the amount stored on it is not that huge enough. That's better though because if it's huge, there is still a tendency that I can lose more money and even empty the wallet soon because I'm a kind of person who can easily lose his temper.

I find it very easy. It's really not a problem when you're not addicted. If taking a break poses a problem for you, check your symptoms. What makes you feel bad about it. Do you feel the urge to bet, do you find yourself caving to go online? If the answer is yes, you're an addict and most likely a compulsive gambler who needs to seek professional help. I can tell you how it is for a normal guy that isn't addicted. I don't have certain days when I have to gamble. I gamble when I meet certain conditions, like when I own a money surplus and/or there's a sports event that I want to watch. I don't bet on matches that I don't watch, which makes it very easy to take a break.

Very easy indeed on which if you are that still into yourself when it comes to decision making and been wary on the things thats happening around then this one wont really be that an issue, but on the time that you are already that addicted to it then 99% you would really be failing on doing such thing in speaking about having some pause or having some break on where you would
definitely be failing up on doing so. This is why it would really be that better that once you arent still that addicted then it would be always recommendable that you should really know
about on setting out those kind of limitation and control when it comes into your gambling activity. Dont really come into a point that you would be losing track
with your spending into gambling. It should be something that will really be enjoyable and not something to be stressful.

I don't need to look for reasons other than the one you mentioned. Because as you said, the cryptocurrency is growing while in a bullish cycle. Why should I spend on a game now if “tomorrow” it will cost more. This is something like a deflationary scenario in classical economics, because of this people do not buy goods, because the next day they will be able to afford more food and things. I don't know what other reasons you need for this. If you have a very strong desire, then allow yourself to bet only on your favorite games in doses it is not necessary to stop playing completely.

But if you want to take a full break, then no one else will do this except you, you need not to open or go to gambling sites for some time, of course it will be difficult at first, because of your habit, but after a few days you will most likely calm down. Everything I described above may not help because each of us is individual, and outbreaks of addiction may appear at any time, remember this.

[goaldigger]

As an occasional gambler, I don’t have problems on taking a break in gambling since I only bet on interesting matches. Taking break can somehow help you think for the better and this is your best time to assess your gambling activities, and if you think its not ok already then once you come back you should be more responsible now. Some might find this difficult but again, always have your break so you wont be burn out in gambling especially if you already incurred losses.

It is not only gambler that's addicted that are taking brakes on gamble, IMO addicted gamblers can not take brake in gamble as their addictions is much.

It's a very healthy practice to at some point take a break from gambling, it will beneficial to you both psychological and financially because these are the two main parts of you that are been affected the most when you gamble and the only way to keep them in check is to take breaks at interval it will really help to relax these two aspect of you.

It's doesn't mean you are stopping or you are no longer going to have fun but then even the other kinds of fun you do have apart from gambling, there are times you will definitely want to take a break from them especially if you have to spend to have such fun, the break help you make sure you don't get to the point where you become prone to addiction as that's the main thing we all try to avoid because the effects of addiction is one that could in some cases last a life time and we are definitely not wanting that Dor ourselves because it will become much of a problem to us .

That is a proactive approach to taking breaks from gambling while still staying engaged with the gambling world. Checking out casino bonuses and promotions can keep you connected without the risk of actual gambling, and using demo modes to simulate sessions is a smart way to satisfy the urge to play without spending money.

There is opportunity to step back and reevaluate the gambling habits by committing not to gamble with real money during the break. This break allows you to avoid the potential negative consequences of impulsive or excessive gambling while still staying connected to the activity in a controlled manner. You just need to stick to your plan and avoid the temptation to gamble with real money, because this could undermine the purpose of your break and potentially lead to unintended consequences.
