Do you take a break when you are in a losing streak?

[irsykes]

I believe this is a very important topic that needed to be discuss by gamblers here because our actions dictates our future...

sometimes when we’re on a losing streak, we tend to get more aggressive in trying to recover our losses, but that’s often the reason why our losses grow even bigger, and in some cases, it can even lead to gambling addiction. So, who here actually takes a break after a losing streak? Or do most just keep going despite the losses?

Yes, that's what you should do, but how many gamblers can stop after losing multiple times? Many people think that I have lost multiple times so I should continue betting and that I need to recover my past losses, which is why they keep betting again and again. However, an ideal gambler should temporarily withdraw from betting if there are multiple losses and mentally prepare for the next one.

Taking a short break after a losing streak should be a solution for us to evaluate each existing defeat, so that indeed when we want to play again, we will come back with a new strategy and method of gambling, because continuing to gamble when emotions are very high after a defeat, precisely it will actually make our ability to make rational decisions decrease dramatically, so that in the end when we chase losses then we will be even more trapped into bigger losses.

right, there are differences in each person when a series of defeats continue to bet, it is a sign that the person is addicted to gambling, no one is to blame, but the mistakes made by themselves must be responsible for their actions wisely. but there are people who lose gambling and continue to take over their activities, usually people gamble just for side entertainment. or try something luck is on their side or not. but if people who gamble non-stop, it is very possible that the person will experience a lot of defeats, so that a sense of destruction haunts the mind

Losing big money in gambling is like a trap, which is that the more you lose, the more you are ready to bet to win back. If it reaches the point where you have to borrow to pay off previous debts, then this is already a critical situation, in which stopping is a mandatory condition for getting out of this situation. The most important thing to remember is that there are no unsolved situations in life, and the sooner the player decides to take this break, the easier it will be to think about the situation and find ways to solve it.

OP, you have explained very nicely that gambling is a trap! There is a possibility of losing a large amount of money from a small amount of money. If a gambler does not control himself after losing a small amount of money, then he will gradually lose a large amount of money. And if he has to borrow another to pay off one debt, then that debt never leaves the person. So take gambling as gambling, not as entertainment. Give yourself a break, take a break; that is how you can do good.

Actually its not a trap, we are the ones who do trap ourselves because of too much expectation with gambling will really be leading into desperation on which it will be causing up that addiction and impulsive actions on which it doesnt supposed to be done or would really be that needing up to be made up to be that sensible into the actions that we are doing with. When you are really that experiencing losing streak then it will really be better that you should really be taking up a break and never ever make yourself that trying out to chase up those loses or really that wanting to break even because at the time that you would really be doing this then it will really be that imposing that very huge of possibility that you would be able to lose up even more. Taking up a break will be that recommended but there are people who do become that impulsive at the time t hat it do happens then this will be causing up that very devastative thing in towards into your financial. So it will really be that up to you on whether you do want to deal up with things accordingly on what are the outcomes or  results into the actions that you have done. Taking up a break will really be easing out that impulsive emotions on which this will really be that you do really need up to consider.

After gambling losses, most gamblers take a break for some time, while some gamblers panic and continue gambling to recover their losses.  Gambling is something that makes a gambler completely control himself by the lure of money. So it is very difficult to find out how long a gambler can keep away from gambling after losing because most gamblers are seen to go back to gambling very quickly as long as they have money. They care little for the lodge. This is because gambling controls them in such a way that they always gamble with confidence even if they lose. i am not gambling addict so i gamble rarely and always keep myself in self-control

Every activity has its ethics, and so is gambling, if this is not adhered to, it becomes a serious problem. Gambling can make you rich, just the same way it can make you ruin your finances and even make you more devasted, confused, and addicted to doing it over and over again. I wonder what kind of life would that be. It is now the gambler's choice to stay responsible by following the good ethics of gambling and show restraint.

I don't think that bets and gambling can make you rich, this seems to me really difficult.
The only ones to enrich themselves are the mess, the people for most cases loses money since otherwise the mess as they survive if they give money?
Maybe 1 out of 100000 succeeds, but it's like playing the lottery. Is not easy

A person can also become rich through gambling and there are many instance where a gambler gets a jackpot and many others win big bets. The number of such lucky people is not very high. There are also many gamblers who have lost more than they have won. Those who are gamblers cannot deny this fact. Gambler must set a limit when it comes to gambling. It is necessary to use the idea that gambling will give him big wins, otherwise their losses will continue to increase. Bet as much as possible with the amount of money under his control and if the money of that bet is lost, he should come back from there quickly. If the gambler can take a break from gambling while he has money, then he is on the right track but those who are addicted will be completely unable to take a break at that time.

It's your own take and how you will handle your gambling activities your call with both your money and time that you'll going to consume.

It's like that, haven't you noticed that when people take a break, a short vacation, it helps them think better? They see things from a more external point of view and solutions begin to appear? Well, that's what happens to me with rest. It's always good, and I wish that rest could be accompanied by a beach break, drinking coconut water in front of the sea, being so relaxed. That's still a very good part of a good rest, where the mind is totally clear, and the ideas afterwards will be fresher and better.

I doubt that a break will be able to change anything for the player, a break is only needed to avoid making rash hasty decisions, and this will give him the opportunity to calm down and return later without emotions. This is the only reason to take a break after unsuccessful series. As for big wins, I would also advise not to continue playing on this day, because mistakes can also be made on positive emotions, it is better to place bets in a calm state.

Gamblers who gamble for a long time they loss more. On the other hand, those who use less time may have a slightly higher win rate. Though there is no specific statistics available because gambling is closely related to luck, there is no strategy that can bring a gambler victory. It is a common scenario that those who gamble for a long time become addicted and it is natural that addicted gamblers will have a higher loss ratio. There are many gamblers who gamble more in order to recover their losses and their ultimate loss rate increases. A gambler should gamble for a short period of time. Whatever his win or loss is during the mentioned period, he should take a break regularly. This will enable him to make better decisions in future bets.

You said you doubt it but you explained the reason to take a break. It looks like you disagree but you describe the way to agree with that. 
Dude, take a break is very important when you already played gambling too often. If you play too often, it can make you be addicted. You also can spend too much money, and you probably get emotion when you got many losses. If you take a break, you can evaluate your way in gambling. You also can calm you mind.

Yes, it is very important to keep your mind calm while gambling. If your mind is not calm, you will be ready to spend more money in a very short time. Which can be a wrong decision for you. Many people become addicted to gambling to make money. But the more you profit in the beginning, the less your profit will be later. In such a situation, you will keep spending more in the hope of making more money, as a result, you will lose more money. If you want to stop losing money, you need to take a break sometimes. You need to calm your mind. Only then will you get the opportunity to make money again and again.

I absolutely agree to take a break when a gambler is in losing streak at least that sole action would save the gambler remain funds else the urge to recover all losses would lead to more avoidable and unnecessary losses that what I usually do when I lost some bets I just close my App and walk aways after all there are more opportunities ahead thus there is no reason to allow emotions override me to chase to losses infact this issue is very common among addicted gamblers who later ended up bankrupt because of failure to take a break after some streak of losses.

As you mentioned, there are different circumstances for different persons. While the majority of the people suggested we should take a break from gambling in case our loses are more than our winnings, but what about the person who manages the risks too. For those who gamble with low amounts and have risk management in place, they need not to take a break. They can continue gambling and even a few losing streaks won't have much effect on their overall portfolio.

[asyakashi]

I personally would prioritize rest rather than forcing myself to win in gambling, I usually take a long enough break so that I can accept my defeat, when I return to play, I will play enjoyably without any more pressure, usually I will take a break for 2 weeks - 1 month

In terms of odds, it doesn't really matter if a gambler takes a break or not.

But, as you mention, rest is an important thing to consider, and most people should rest a bit and not spend too much time simply gambling their life away.

I think it is something that should be talked more, but it simply isn't. I think there's a lot of stigma for people when they are in an addiction, specially if it means that they are losing a lot of money.

Rest is necessary when you are experiencing a streak win, forcing your self to play is just like stressing your body and brain and that could lead to losing even more and you can fall into depression if you don’t manage yourself very well at that point in time.

If happened to you then it also can happen to someone who see this perspective as good resource to prevent adding more money to lose, taking vacation or short time to relax and chill will generate new ideas and if you take it as positive approach a chance that you'll be able to create something that will beneficial or also possible to quit your way when you see that it's no longer healthy for you.

Those are the things that can come up when you take some rest and take a break, it's useful as it is when talking about money and time that you are spending during your gambling sessions.

In the right sense that's the best thing to do, money doesn't grow on tree, it's earned from hard or smart work so you don't go wasting it all in the name of having fun or trying to entertain oneself, especially when it comes to gambling, something that deals with luck, at a point when your loosing streak is becoming too much the best approach is to pause for a while, take a break and restrategise, that's if you've not decided to quit entirely.

 Just like you said and that's how it works, it would even help the person to generate new ideas of how to make sure that they don't suffer more loses in the near future, you'll try to figure out what you're not getting right and even learn from the previous mistakes, one thing about constant lose is that it comes with anger and if the gambler keeps betting with anger of losing they tend to lose more that's why taking a break is the best approach.

Even a break from work (vacation) has a good effect on us, because it is impossible to be in constant tension, this can eventually lead to a breakdown, and in gambling this will be a series of losses. So a break is a good practice for any type of activity. I often see how players write about the game for fun, but this is not always the case, sometimes it takes a lot of time and effort, so after several bets and watching matches, you want to take a rest as well.)

Yes, and not only that, when you rest you do things that you didn't do before, for example if you have vacation sometimes it's lazy to cook, one can buy pizzas, hamburgers, watch TV until late, watch movies, series, drink beer, have a barbecue with friends, all those kinds of things are necessary, for those who have the beach nearby then going is not bad ideal, besides with that it refreshes the vision, so the fact that our brain experiences that and we ourselves relax and by resting in that way we when we play, or work or do any activity we will do it well, with more enthusiasm because we have had a good rest, and that helps a lot.

Valuing your money is very important, if you experienced losing streaks better to stop and pause for a while try to think of the best strategy to make things better, if you keep pushing your way the chance is losing more and with such experience it will added frustration and aggression, then lead to more loses.

Diverting your mindset and keep it busy my allow you to think better, it's more on how a person perspect things, as the value of money should always be important to avoid losing a lot.

[summonerrk]

Unfortunately, if a gambler gets a losing streak, then most likely he will think only about this. And all the advice that he needs to distract himself with a hobby or family, most likely in reality will not help, at least for most.
This guy will think only about how to quickly get his money back. He will be distracted and thoughtful, and his mood will be constantly low.
But what can you do if you needed to think before sitting down to play in a casino. After all, one of the important rules of this activity: if you put money on deposit, then mentally you must say goodbye to it.
