Sometimes You Need a Break

[Asuspawer09]

I mean, it happened to me a lot of times; there were just times that my mind is not functioning that well, probably tired already of thinking, or maybe just stress because of the day, there were just many factors about that. Having a break is just as important as eating, it is going to reset everything and most of the time you need it more than you think that you need it, when it comes to gambling it is really important personally to have breaks, Surely gambling is really stressful and you dont want to get frustated on gambling since that is where you are going to make the wrong decisions, if that happened a break is surely going to be beneficial and at the same time you could rethink you strategy and manage your finances well.

I like to have a long break in gambling for long time break probably a month it just reset things and help me to forget about my huge losses, especially if I just keep on losing a lot, I take a long break and most of the time it is when luck is started to favor in me and I usually win a lot, I guess it is just fresh and im more focus on it when I do take a break instead of just randomly going for it and playing daily it is just exhausting.

Just like your body, your mind also wants rest. If you are losing control and focus, it's a clear indication from your mind to stop the activity and take a break. For this, I think the best thing is to limit your funds for betting, just stick to the funds that are in your wallet. Once that wallet is used, you can stop by itself. Similarly, if you earn more, it will also indicate that you have made enough money. Such tips would help in mind relaxation.

If our focus is lost due to betting or any other mentally stressful activity then we should take a break because take some time off from work. Just as the body naturally want rest when it's tired the mind also gives similar signals so we just need to understand when we should take a break. In this case, I believe it's important to set a limit for yourself as this significantly reduces the risk of making wrong decisions driven by emotions. You should only spend the amount of money from your wallet that you can afford to lose without it causing any significant problems. If you get losses from betting you should stop there but if you win then you can either continue playing with the winnings or stop altogether if you wish. By doing this you can gamble peacefully but yo should know when to take a break.

If you have signs of making emotional decisions or a tendency to feel mentally tired in the game, it is necessary to take a break. Because if someone makes impulsive decisions or is chaotic instead of enjoying it, the chances of winning are reduced. Many people get into a bad mood due to repeated losses and immediately break down, but in such a situation, taking a temporary break can save you from the possibility of losing money. And a break keeps the mind calm. Sometimes taking a break can be the best option.

Yeah, taking break is very important, must especially if someone is facing emotional decision such as stress, anxiety, frustration, bipolar disorder, depression or any other mental health problems. Because this is actually going to help you feel more better and comfortable, and you will definitely come back stronger, with a great confidence that was installed in you during the break, and before you know it eventually, everything will come back to normal and it will become easier for you.

This simply explains the experience I had on sports betting. After taking a rest from sports betting and coming back with a clear head, I get back into the game with a strong mentality and it actually turns out good for me. A rest sometimes is all what we need but greed would always be in the way to neglect that feeling and keep chasing after losses. You could experience a win after consecutive losses sometimes, and that would give you a certain degree of hope to go for more wins until you experience losses that could make your bankroll bleed. Definitely a pause is what we need most times.

Some people go for break when they see they have been losing in betting always. But the real fact is that even you are wining or loosing you need to be getting break so that you shouldn't be addicted to it because too much of everything is probably bad. Some people take gambling as a fun and some take it as a place to generate profit and gambling is always unpredictable and if you think you will be getting profits in gambling always you're just deceiving your self you should look for another way to generate profits not in gambling that is why you should be given break sometime because that always helps alot. Some don't go break accept they don't have another fund to bet that is when they will stop.

Just sharing this as a reminder. If we really want to increase our chances of winning and still enjoy gambling, we need a clear mind. Sometimes the best move is not to bet at all. We all deserve a break.

This is one of the best advice that a gambler can receive in this new year, it is always very refreshing when you take some break from gambling especially when you're experiencing losing streaks. The best thing that you can do is stay away from every gambling related activities and when you come back you will enjoy it far more than if you're not taking any breaks. I don't see why some gamblers finds it very difficult to stay off gambling for sometime, I'm glad that I'm not in that category, if you cannot control your emotions you will be addicted.

[Slow death]

I have to admit that I had in that situation several times long time ago when I was still newbie and I was still young LOL.
Lesson learned after several times in broken situation that forced me to think wiser about what I have done so I could evaluate it.
Although it was not that easy to forget and to stay away due to my greed to recover what I've lost before but the fact that I have no more money so I have no other option except to stop.
Sometime we need to learn from the worse situation but it is always better if we can avoid the worse situation.

In my case, something very similar happened. When I started sports betting, I had no idea how to analyze the games, so I bet on the favorites, which were teams I knew. But I lost a lot, consecutively. Those losses made me very sad to the point that I didn't want to do anything anymore. I bet and lost for three weeks until I sat down and thought: this isn't good for me. Then I stopped betting for many years. Only a few years ago did I resume, but now with a clear understanding of how sports betting works.

I may gamble for just a day or 2 in a week, there are some weeks that I will not gamble at all. So because I am not a frequent gambler, I do not take a break. I do not chase losses and I do not go beyond my capacity.

But for people that are gambling frequently, seeing themselves having gambling fatigue, it is very good to just give yourselves a break for your mind to reset to normal before gambling again.

That reset is very important but a lot of people take it for granted, I don't joke with taking those breaks that helps me adjust my focus most especially when I feel like chasing losses as a result of gambling excessively. gambling for just a few days in a week keeps you disciplined. it is funny that some people think a person that don't gamble frequently isn't supposed to be called a gambler

there are times when I know I’m already playing with emotions but I still push through hoping things will turn around. Been there and yeah it usually just makes things worse. Taking a break really does help. Once I step away it’s easier to reset my mindset and come back thinking straight again, when the mind is clear I stop chasing losses and make better decisions. Gambling should still be enjoyable not stressful. Sometimes rest for a while is really the best play.

Have you ever been in a spot where you know you’re losing because you’re no longer making logical decisions? Emotions take over, you can feel it’s already hurting your bankroll, but you still can’t stop or step away.

That happened to me. It took some time before I finally forced myself to take a break for a few days. Honestly, it worked. When I came back, I felt more relaxed, more clear-headed, and the results were better. I’m not chasing losses anymore, and I feel like I’m back in control.

Just sharing this as a reminder. If we really want to increase our chances of winning and still enjoy gambling, we need a clear mind. Sometimes the best move is not to bet at all. We all deserve a break.

I totally agree with you, OP, especially if a player hasn't started practicing betting limits yet. They’ll really end up losing control of their gambling money to the point where it’s like 'the sky's the limit.

That’s why if we’re constantly losing like we’re on a total losing streak—we really need to take a break. Even if the urge is there to keep betting just to chase
our losses, we have to stop. It’s just like an engine overheating; you have to let it cool down before the car can run again

A clear mind will only be obtained when we can win at the beginning and think about getting out early without making any more bets or games.
But the fact that there was poor self-control made me not even stop to keep playing and betting, always saying in my heart that the game was not over and still a few more wins,
until in the end I lost more wins at the beginning and then lost all the capital.

Being in that position was really uncomfortable, coming out in a cold sweat a sign that I was losing everything,
even if it was only $50, but it would mean a lot and put me mentally down instantly.

Sometimes we do need a break and not think about gambling, we need space to think more clearly,
and that should be implemented before defeat happens.

I have been in an emotional phase when gambling, and I felt like a miracle could happen if I just kept playing. In reality, it actually worsened my bankroll, wiping it all out in one go. I learned a lot from that experience and finally understood how important it is to not gamble when emotional. Therefore, I agree with the OP that taking a temporary break from gambling is crucial for maintaining sanity, and I believe it is part of limiting time and money, so we don't risk too much financially or psychologically.

I also believe that gambling is best done when we are in a good mood, so we can do it with a clear mind. I think gambling for entertainment is crucial, and treating winning as additional entertainment is also necessary so we don't chase winning too much. Chasing winning is the beginning of destruction, especially if done excessively.

Yes mate, taking a break really does but many of us don't know. Just like you know that continuing to gamble when you are being emotional while you are losing only makes things worse but you still keep pushing because you want to recover your losses and it's not appropriate. However, taking a break while you are on a losing streak can make you figure out your errors and can also save you a lot of money and time too. When your mindset is clear there's no way that you will try up yo 10 times and you miss out all of them. Although it depends on luck but what I'm just trying to say is that taking a break helps you to think straight and to know your mistakes and how to avoid them.

I agree this is true.

When you have no clear mind and you're thinking of gambling, you better not do it. Because if you are thinking of winning with the bets that you're about to do.

You are making your emotions so high to the point that you're not be able to control it anymore. And it's true that sometimes, the best thing to do is to do nothing at times like this.

Although sometimes gambling can be a very effective way to unwind after a stressful day at work or something, but the mistake that some gamblers make is to mistake it to be some kind of a getaway from problems or financial stress, which can in turn become a trap rather than what was initially intended.

Gambling itself has its way of inflicting a kind of financial stress on gamblers who don’t have complete self control, and turning to gambling to help alleviate financial pressure or stress can even make the matter even worse than it already is. So whenever one is feeling any form of financial pressure, either via gambling or any other thing, the best thing to do is avoid gambling by all means, even when your intentions ain’t profit seeking.

Definitely, that's the way to avoid being more stressed with gambling or any other things. And when things don't go well anymore, it's okay to quit.

That's normal and maybe others think that it's not something to be done but as you grow older, you'd notice chill people that are okay to quit.

Either with gambling or anything that they do because it's no longer fun and causing them with so much pain and stress, emotionally and financially.

High caliber compulsive players won't like this, it'll be irritating to their hearing, dip down gaming takes over those who can't let it be, them that assume going ahead non stop is the only way to hit the jackpot. Gambling requires evaluation, taking time to reflect and reminisce about the past mistakes and good choices, then reach a consensus on what should be done on the next come back to the activity.

In the past, i've been a victim of chasing losing instead of taking a break and one thing about chasing lose is that there's this confidence you'll have that you might recover if you try again but at the end you'll end up attracting more loses and near misses. The best thing to do when you've encountered lose or series of loses is to take a break, if would help you reconsider your errors especially taking note of things that attracted series of loses, including helping you avoid addiction due to chasing loses.

Evaluation is important when gambling and this can help a player know when he is making profits and when profit is not enough to cover the loses. Gambling need understanding of what is on the ground and what is next move to take to be having a prosperous gambling results. Evaluation can help to different the when profits do come freely without gambling for too long and when profit does not come like that. When a gambler is very active evaluating their games, it can help to know why they are not making profits from betting.

Lack of rest causes the body system to malfunction, it is important that we take a break for proper rest in anything we are doing mainly when it has to do with brain work like gambling.

Taking a break keeps you more relaxed physically mentally and emotionally to keep you fit for your next activities, alot of persons are mentally unstable and do not perform very well in their Various place of works,duties and homes because they have neglected the habit of taking a break to refresh themselves.

When a gambler gambles to a point where gambling stops feeling like an entertainment or fun then it means you’re going or have gone of course. Many gamblers have found themselves in this position or may have noticed this switch but felt that it’s part of the game and then ignored it, without knowing that ignoring such a cue could mean directly consent to addiction or irresponsible gambling. Addiction doesn’t just start immediately, it’s often gradually and starts with such a switch and then they go on ignored for much longer it turns into addiction automatically.

Some people get carried away when they win a large amount; they start enjoying it too much. But they don't realize that as they keep playing,
The profit they just won is already slowly disappearing.

This is where the importance of self-discipline and self-control comes in. If a gambler lacks this character, it’s not surprising to see this scenario happen to them over and over again.
