Stopping the curse of losing streak?

[bitbollo]

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 

[taufik123]

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
