Sometimes You Need a Break

[Mallampue]

Taking a break is important, I myself set a personal rule that I should stop when I've had one gambling loss. I chose this option because I've had occasions where I've continued to gamble despite a losing streak and it's only made things worse.

I suggest that regardless of the outcome even if it is a win it is good to be able to take time to rest, do not let gambling continue at the same time, it will only increase the loss.

Not only losing but winning is the same, many people always recommend stopping after winning and enjoying it, especially if we experience defeat we have to take a break and evaluate everything because there our emotions are easily provoked which can make us deposit money that is not prepared for gambling then we spend money that we cannot lose, that is much more dangerous, playing in gambling must be done with calm, comfort and know the rules of limits to be controlled, whether winning or losing it is all the same, choosing to take a break is a wise decision.

Taking a break is very important when it comes to gambling, even if you think that you are making a lot of profit it is very important that you take a step back sometimes. Most gamblers only take a break whenever they have lost or when they are losing but when they keep making profit they tend to forget that they might lose at anytime. taking a break from gambling helps you reset your head space

That's exactly it. Often, players end up forgetting why they started playing and also lose discipline with their winnings. I play for fun and, at many times, I end up losing money, but I understand that this is part of the game and it's temporary. I know I can win on another occasion and that, in the end, I only lost something I was already willing to lose.

This seems interesting, because I understand that the desire to continue playing is not only for the added enjoyment, but also for the hope of profit. But at least I get an important point from what you said above: what I need to explore further is the procedure for managing winnings after a win.

As far as you are able to control yourself with your limit, it will be safe for your finances. But limits, discipline and emotion come to everyone while gambling. Emotion can dictate the control or even breaking it. when it happens no more control and discipline anymore, only playing more, wether in losing or winning position. You can stick with your limit, it's good, other people should learn from you, because not all gamblers able to keep his position when in loss.

Yeah, it really works. It helps lower your gambling stress. I do it when nothing is happening, like when it’s just losses. If I don’t take a break, my losses won’t stop either. So taking a break is really important. It’s beneficial both financially and mentally. Actually, even if you’re on a winning streak, it’s still good to take a break. It helps avoid the inevitable red streak and keeps your confidence back to a neutral level.

Many gamblers are unaware of this, as they assume that gambling will provide entertainment that can distract them from the burden of stress. In such situations, a gambler may end up spending all of their savings because they begin a gambling session while emotionally unstable. It must be acknowledged that everything we do requires a pause, gambling can actually create even bigger problems when one emotions are not stable because they will tend to ignore all boundaries.

Outrightly gambling provides entertainment the only problem is it's effect if abused, when it comes to distraction it does distract but it's impact is highly deceptive, it makes the victim feel the had conquered their worries until they become big victims of unstable emotions.

Treating gambling as an approach to gain stable emotional dominance is highly detrimental, it first starts has a perfect solution until it slowly drowns it's victims into problems of very high concern.

I have to disagree especially with the title, it should never be "sometimes", taking a break is a must no matter what you do, take exercise for example, you only exhaust yourself for nothing if you don't take a break when you exercise, leading you to not getting your goals and injuring yourself. Now with gambling, taking a break is a mandatory because you need to make sure that you're still on your right mind while playing so you can decide rightfully how you play each session and to replenish your bankroll because it's obvious when gambling, you need money.

You are absolutely right, taking a break is supposed to be a must priority for gamblers. It's not something to over look because I have seen people who don't care about taking a break, but right now they are feeling the pains, in everything we are doing it's very important to put it in consideration because it prevent often losses and injuries so it's not only sometimes that someone would take a break it's supposed to be a mandatory for us due to the risk involved, but when you take a break and refreshing for sometime it will definitely help you make informed decision.

Even a responsible gambler can still lose, taking a break and clearing your mind doesn’t give you a win. When you notice a losing streak, losses can appear even when you’re trying to control yourself and avoid bad decisions, here luck still plays a major role. If luck isn’t on your side, even taking a one year break won’t change the outcome. When the result is a loss, there’s simply nothing you can do to control it.

I never said going for a break would give me wining rather it's for my own safety, I'm this set of gamblers that usually go for a break after gambling for some time. And this break is mostly caused by losing, yeah I do this when i see that the losses is getting out of hand. Because I know I might start doing the wrong thing If don't stop on time, but for the fact that I'm doing this does not mean that I will keep winning when I come back rather I'm just doing that to clear my head from my past experience.

Which is the right thing to do if you don't want to carry those stress that brought by your losing streaks, instead of chasing your losses taking a break will free up your minds, and with a fresh starts you'll be able to reassess the game and possibly you'll be able to analyze much deeper and may bring a good winning selections when you have  a better look from the game that you'll trying to win.

And yes, even if you are getting decent winning streaks to avoid losing back taking break will give you that chance to cashout your winning and enjoy your profits.

It is called gambling fatigue, and it is pretty normal on people who have long long sessions pretty often. Usually people who are addicted to gambling are prone to suffer this kind of mental fatigue, but they cannot let go because... Well, they are addicted to their constant shots of dopamine and thrill.
For the rest of the people (who are not addicted to gambling) it is a matter of common sense not to allow fatigue to consume them and take a break so now and them, so they can continue to enjoy gambling and betting, how they are supposed to.

It does not make any sense to spend money on something one does not actually even enjoy any longer.

Being wise is definitely not being smart. If you are wise you will gamble with sense. If you are also smart you invest in gambling smartly, how I do me mean. You know how much you earm and also how much to spend. For instance you have like 15k for week. Just like a wise guy, you will divide the money into three parts and know how much to invest in gambling business and also remove money ashawo and food. Just a wise decision. But you don't have spending skills you will complain. In others words I can still follows my friends in gambling business. Gambling is a business.

That's exactly it. Often, players end up forgetting why they started playing and also lose discipline with their winnings. I play for fun and, at many times, I end up losing money, but I understand that this is part of the game and it's temporary. I know I can win on another occasion and that, in the end, I only lost something I was already willing to lose.

As far as you are able to control yourself with your limit, it will be safe for your finances. But limits, discipline and emotion come to everyone while gambling. Emotion can dictate the control or even breaking it. when it happens no more control and discipline anymore, only playing more, wether in losing or winning position. You can stick with your limit, it's good, other people should learn from you, because not all gamblers able to keep his position when in loss.

To encourage and understand the reason for gambling to me is emotional, if I start to state and explain why, you will understand I'm being controlled by gamble how do I mean. Controlling myself from gambling. you will tell me congratulations because is very hard to do without it. I have tried disciplining myself is just too hard. You know why after so many times of playing and losing consistently, still believe that winning will come one day. Because I dedicate my time whether I will win or gain which is not possible. One thing I disagree is temporary. The only breaks through just stay away from friends that gamble. Delete the app on phone and position your mind from being current with clubs and league informations.

[El_Tammy]

I wanted to drop my phone for the day but the moment my eyes caught this thread, I felt like you were speaking to me because trust me man, I am had something like this right on my neck two nights back. The broken heart, the pain on your chest, the emotions closing in, the thought of just wanting to catch up, it's all so much.

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.

At that point, that same point when you losing but can't hold back, you start picking the games even without thinking. You pick them fast not even listening to your heart, head or conscience then end up losing again. The circle just keeps on going on and on till you're totally emptied. Just then will you realize that you should have just let it go and close the application or website but already, it is too late.

I've decided to give myself a break and rest for a while because to some point, I'm beginning to feel like I'm doing myself more harm than good and this thought has forced me to even delete the application I use for gambling. The whole thing is just so so difficult man

My main break is from December to mid-January. Since there are many holidays in December, I want to relax and spend time with my loved ones, and I also need money for gifts and other related expenses, so I don't want to take any risks during this time. But when the holidays are over and the work routine begins again, then I can find days to watch matches and place bets. These breaks are very helpful for taking a break from everything.

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.

sometimes it feels like all odds are against you, feels like you are in a bind, differents moves same results. thats exactly when you know you need a break, some alone time away from the game, far from the struggle, time to figure things out. so yeah we all deserve a break.

This is an excellent and, in my opinion, healthy way to quit for a while. I think it will have a positive impact on you as a player. I don't have specific months of the year when I quit, but it happens naturally and unpredictably when I just want to take a break. Before I started doing this, I simply took a very long break of several months, which allowed me to look at gambling from a different perspective, think about many things, and it also impacted the emotional quality of my life.

Taking a break to be/spend time and family and friends is and remains a wild reason to me, like, this is would be very understandable if we are still in the days where physical casinos reigned supreme due to non-existence of online casinos, but today, physical casinos are almost going extinct in cities where gambling isn't as much important and cherished like it is in Las Vegas..

One can literally be gambling online, like placing bets here and there even while spending time with family and maybe going out for a few bottles of drink with friends.
For me, when I decide to take a break from gambling, I confess it's not because I want to spend time with family cus I spend time with them every day so long as I am in town, I take breaks for other reasons like being in a financial state where I can't afford to risk losing any money to gambling and so on.

The fact is, many players find this extremely difficult to do, either because the game constantly lures them with winnings, or, in the latter case, because players who have lost a lot of money are constantly trying to win back their losses. For them, it seems like a never-ending process. Therefore, few can afford to simply stop playing for a while and focus on other activities, as gambling is usually a high priority, especially for addicted gamblers. But stopping is certainly crucial and necessary.

This is also what I do when I'm on a losing streak and the best option is to take a break. This is very helpful for my mental health and allows me to evaluate what went wrong that led to my losing streak.

Continuing to gamble without taking a break actually makes your gambling even more chaotic. Often when you force yourself to continue gambling you lose emotional control, which is ultimately detrimental to your finances. Gambling isn't just about playing you need to have a strategy and taking a break for evaluation is also part of that strategy.

A break in gambling is very necessary, but some gamblers don't believe in it. Many gamblers believe that for one to succeed in gambling, you must not give up, and you just need to be consistent. Some gamblers feel that when there is a break in gambling, it means one is weak.

There are so many benefits to taking a break in gambling. There is the benefit of working on one's mental health, and there is the benefit of saving and planning after one might have lost some money in gambling. Additionally, there is the benefit of learning how to approach the game better, so a break in gambling is important and what gamblers need to enjoy the game better.

[Onyeeze]

Yes, have been in this situation several times, taking a break is probably the best option we need at this point.
Taking a break does not mean entirely quitting from gambling. Many folks get this part wrong. At the same time, there are several reasons why people go on break, some may have lost a lot, while to some may have won a lot, so they feel comfrotable with the amount won, instead of continue betting for the meantime they take a break to enjoy their win.

you all are right because taking break in gambling will make you to realize what you have spent so far for gambling and some people will use the opportunity we are by they took a break and they will strategize on their gambling method, especially when you have record a lot of losses in gambling you need to replan yourself, and they come up with another strategies that can benefit you from your gambling activity, but most of us always continue processing gambling and ever the experience a lot of losses

Ignoring the importance of taking a break will only only worsen our financial situation when have being on a losing streak. I know that the presumption of weakness on the part of the one who takes a break, is a big misconception which we must all work on at this point. You focused on giving a break, an opportunity to reimburse our savings and to consider the failed strategies. Good mental health means that when we have imminent risks we won't lose our heads and live with the fear of losing it ever after.
