Stopping the curse of losing streak?

[Oasisman]

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

Pausing for a while will help it. Even if you don't change game, when you pause for a day or two or at least give it 5 days and gamble back on weekend, that will surely help refresh your mind to get rid of the bad vibe and jinx. It will also help you reduce the potential more losing, because gambling out of frustrations will lead to more losses.
Lucky break for you as you have earned back what you've lost in the last week. That's how gambling works though, sometimes we get luck and extremely lucky, and sometimes  we get so unfortunate with bad lucks and that losing streak really suck. There's nothing you can do about it though, that's why pausing and put a stop on it for the mean time is the only way to get rid of it.

Everyone already agrees that taking a pause and maybe switching the type of game one gambles on, would be a good way to break the curse of a losing streak.
While that is true, has any one losing, ever tried engaging more in mental exercises like reading and maybe some reps just to get pumping? Also, changing the environment where one stays to gamble should do a bit good if one still decides to continue gambling in same game instead of trying out another game.

Reading and aerobics done lightly, should help stimulate the mind and readiness to make good decisions or predictions during gambling too.

Taking a break and trying to play another game is the best solution when we are on a losing streak - there is no need to force ourselves to play the same game over and over again, because that will only waste money and make us increasingly unable to control ourselves. It's better to take a short break, whether it's 1 day or more, then we can try our luck again on the same game or on another game which will usually produce a different outcome.

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

Usually I will stop for some time and usually it will be longer than the break time I usually take in gambling, and I think stopping longer will give freshness to our minds so there will be no doubt to return to playing. I only play slot games, dice or plinko and that's the only thing I'll go back to playing even if it's a game that makes me go on a losing streak.

Losing streaks are definitely experienced by all gamblers, especially if they are very active, and as long as players only gamble using money that we can afford, losing is definitely not a problem, and players will be able to return to playing at any time because losing streaks do not affect their finances.

[michellee]

That is good advice for everyone because by resting for a while, they can forget for a moment about their gambling losses. Taking a break from a losing streak will make you try not to think about the defeat. You can also calm yourself down due to the defeat and think about what needs to be improved.

There is no need to gamble hard, let alone experience consecutive losses. We have to regulate how much we lose in gambling. If we have experienced defeat, we should immediately stop gambling.

There's still plenty of time to gamble. We also don't need to spend too much money playing gambling. So if you have experienced a losing streak, immediately stop gambling to calm yourself.

Having several losing sessions in a row can be difficult to handle at an emotional level, as even if gamblers know they cannot win long term against the casinos, they still want to experiment some short term wins, so this is a situation that could easily spiral out of control if gamblers are not careful.

Probably the best way to deal with is by just taking a break, this way even if your chances of making the money you have lost back are zero, at least the chances you lose even more money is zero as well, making it easier to clear your mind and avoid the common mistake of chasing your losses.

[Poker Player]

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

Well, playing poker, similar to you but with nuances.

Losing streaks are just part of the many random results that, since they do not favor us, we call them that way. If you play an EV+ game like poker, you just have to continue playing until the losing streak "ends". But since we are human, sometimes so many bad results can affect our game and make us play even worse. Therefore, when we have losing streaks it is better to play less and take more time to review our game.

What has happened to me similar to you is that sometimes when you are fed up with losing, I have tried another modality, like playing a multi-table tournament, or changing the room, and many times I have had positive results. That has nothing to do with whether the streak is over or not. These results are also some of the many random results, which we categorize.

In any case, moving to another game or modality I think it brings a positive psychological factor because in your case, for example when playing Blackjack you count the results that keep appearing as part of the bad streak you already have, and if in four hands you win two and lose two you think that you are still in a bad streak and that you are not out of it.

However, if you change and play slots, it is like starting over and you tend to see the results with a more optimistic prism.

First, of course it is very difficult to regulate emotions when experiencing a losing streak. And that will make you want to chase your losses by continuing to play and hoping to win. That is the wrong mindset!

Personally, when I'm on a losing streak, the first thing I do is stop gambling and look for another activity. Any loss will have a negative impact on you. It will give you negative energy that will make you do bad things like keep playing until you win.

After that I will take a break from gambling for some time. And when I have enough positive energy I will go back to gambling if the desire arises. I'm not a gambling addict so to be honest I gamble just for fun and I can enjoy it.

I think this is more efficient, and you are right—what will happen if you switch gambling games and keep on losing? then a gambler will worsen their frustration and losses, right? We have the same philosophy that I'd rather find another activity than continue to play the same gambling games and also switch to different gambling games. I sometimes play video games or watch anime or vlogs; in that way, I can refresh my mind and my emotions, and when I'm ready again, I will gamble, but of course it will take some time because I will first refresh my mood and also my funds. 

But the thing is, many gamblers are still hoping that changing or switching to another gambling game will make them win, which is not always happening. Maybe for the OP, he got better and lucky in switching to another game, but that's not the case for all gamblers.

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 I hit a losing streak in a game I usually enjoy, I do something similar—I take a step back. Sometimes, I’ll take a complete break from gambling to reset. Other times, switching to a different type of game can really help. It’s not just about trying to win back what was lost but about changing the scenery, so to speak. It refreshes my mindset and often brings back the fun aspect of gambling, which can get lost in the frustration of continuous losses.

The key, I’ve found, is to recognize when you’re no longer enjoying the game and to remember that gambling should always be about entertainment first. Taking that break or switching games not only helps break the cycle of losses but can also bring back a clearer perspective on why we play in the first place. So yes, changing games has worked for me, much like it did for you, and it’s a strategy I recommend to anyone facing a similar situation.

Nice one.

But we can't really stop the curse of losing streak in gambling, we can only slow it down and reduce the amount in every losses.

Honestly, gambling should be very easy for everyone if they choose to go the lowest risks possible.

There is no matter how smart you are, you will lose in gambling, but if you are someone who want to always win you will start losing more than usual.

Smart gamblers take their time off gambling and come back only when they feel like enjoying some game, its not a must to win from gambling but losing is way too possible.

I would rather give away a dollar to gambling in a week than a 10 dollar every week, losing a dollar every week is so doable that I won't even notice of losing money at all, and this is the way it should be.

There is a standard form for analyzing human actions. 
This form includes answers to two questions. 
The first question is: what was done well?  Second question: what could have been done better? 
By answering these two questions, you will not fall into excessive reflection.  You remain in the zone of optimism, and this is very important for maintaining a positive psychological attitude.  At the same time, you analyze the causes of losses incurred and build tactics to prevent or minimize these losses in the future. 
With this approach to analysis, the losses incurred will not lead to a deterioration in a person’s psychological mood; they will be considered as a way to become better and more efficient in the future....

There's still plenty of time to gamble. We also don't need to spend too much money playing gambling. So if you have experienced a losing streak, immediately stop gambling to calm yourself.

Right, one of the things that should be done to temporarily forget the series of losses is to rest, because when we rest, our mind will reset and we are refreshed, we will have a better chance to think of a better way to win. It is also necessary that when you keep seeing your defeat, you should also know when to stop because when the situation is like that, it is not good to continue it, just pause, breathe and rest so that you can think better we are still well for the next gambling session we will do.

Glad to hear that you have recovered from your 3 weeks losses. For me, when I lose when gambling, it doesn't affect me that much because I gamble with what I can afford to lose. Although it doesn't affect me that much, I still have this habit when I lose, I take a break or even play again the next time when I have enough funds to gamble. When I'm experiencing loss during my play, I always tend to switch different games to see how will play from trying out different games. Thinking that maybe it's the game why I'm losing consistently haha. But so far, switching on different games also helped me to recover some of my losses. And when I switch games and still lose, that's the time I stop and try my luck again the next time I play.

Yes, changing game works for me, definitely. It doesn't mean I necessarily start winning on another game, but at least I become less frustrated. When you lose on the same game all the time it's annoying, isn't it? And I gamble to fun first of all, it's no point in gambling if you are getting frustrated in the process. If you are losing badly on a specific game, my advice - change it immediately.

Well you do got the point on which on the time that you are losing money on a type of game then switching games could really ease out that kind of disappointment and anger on which
it is really just that a normal thing to wipe off or lessen out that kind of impulsive feeling on which this one really works and i have been into this kind of situation too
but im not really that expecting for other wins on other games. On the time that i have already transferred but still ends up on more loses then i do simply quit up and dont look back.
You are really that making yourself put up on such situation where you do get pissed and annoyed which if you dont have that good control towards yourself then
you would really be making more deposit and would really be like that a madman.

Yep, everyone has different approach which they use to relax from a losing streak. What works for you might not work for others. Being on a losing streak is certain and a normal situation in gambling.

Once am losing so much on a particular game, I take a break. This time refreshes me and also creates a medium I ask what and why? happened that lead to such results even if its normal in gambling.
Changing the game for me isn't enough, the frustration, actions taken earlier can stil affect you in the new game as sometime you will tend to revenge or recover from those loses.

The simple advice if am to use such word,  remains you take a break and you see yourself coming back refreshed and prepared.

Changing the game didn't snap your streak lol. The game you were playing, maybe you were playing incorrectly. Are you hitting 16s? Are you doubling down correctly? Are you standing correctly? There's more to blackjack then most think and if you play it incorrectly, you lower your odds of winning greatly.

I’m confident enough to say that I’m playing proper Blackjack to the minimum house edge with the use of Blackjack strategy matrix and a little bit of card count.

The problem relies on the deck and luck that time. I brought up this issue before which most of the card in the deck are small numbers which doesn’t make sense as normal set of card decks. Dealer is always Blackjack, 20 or Hard 21 on most the game which is very hard to snap out the losing streak.

I’m playing the same Blackjack strategy for a long time and earns a decent profit in the past before this shit streak happened.

For me I would just take a break from gambling, I don't really like to try out other games I only play on games that I am comfortable with.
Whenever I am on a lose streak I would try to lessen the risk or be contented with small wins, and I don't really chase up my loss from my previous deposits, whenever I deposit to gamble I consider it as a fresh start and ignore the previous loss.

This is so me... I believe that if I want to win consistently, I need to focus on the game that I love to play and that it makes me believe that I could really win. Changing a game although we know it but it's not really our favorite is just like trying our luck, if we win good but if we are really unlucky, it doesn't matter on what games you'll playing, you'll still lose in the end because you will become indiscipline with your bankroll management.
