Sometimes You Need a Break

[bitLeap]

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.

This bad situation sometimes makes me lose faith in the casino I'm playing at, meaning I play as usual, don't chase losses and still lose. In these conditions I take a break not because I need to refresh myself but feel I need to move to another casino. But you're right that a clear mind makes us in a better mood but it can't cover up the fact that betting will actually be profitable.

This is underrated advice.

Most bad gambling decisions don’t come from odds, they come from fatigue, tilt and chasing losses.

Stepping away is often the most +EV move people ignore.

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.

Yes, it is definitely difficult and time-consuming for an addicted gambler to stop gambling or to abstain from it temporarily or for a long period of time after becoming addicted to gambling. Even if someone wants to quickly, they cannot control themselves easily from gambling addiction, so they definitely need special support and the sympathy and love of family members.
If a gambler has a clear mind and has a sincere desire, then he can certainly refrain from gambling, whether slowly or quickly. However, for an addicted gambler, abstaining from gambling must be his sole goal.

This is true, taking a day off or one week from gambling can be very helpful. And yeah I have done this before and I must say that it really helps a lot. But why is it that when you decide to take a break from gambling people feel that you're not strong enough to withstand the pressure when you're not even doing it for that reason, I just feel that I might loss control if i didn't take a week off from gambling, because gambling can be problematic if you keep doing it continually without thinking of going for a break.

Every gambler who is active in gambling must have felt like this where when the situation is not as expected and in fact it makes us feel that we are trapped in a never-ending gambling trap because the bad luck of betting we have is not as expected but we find it difficult to stop it.

It happens but it's definitely not the end. When we have decided that we want to gamble, we must indirectly be prepared for all the possibilities that exist including the risk of losing and losing unexpectedly. For me, stopping temporarily can be used as a cooling down, not only for gambling but for the mentally drained and our great interest in gambling so it is important for us not to be too fixated on gambling as if gambling is everything.

If I feels that, I will stopping gambling immediately and take my time to do other things. I don't want to lose control in gambling so I will leave gambling for a while. It is enough to playing gambling, no matters what is the outcome. I need to take care of my minds so take a break is the thing that I need.

If you can reduces your gambling activity, you will forget gambling for a while. You will focus on that thing and not in gambling.

You can back to gambling if you can feels more relaxed and more clear-headed. Who knows you will get your lucky and win the money. We need to take care of our healthy especially our minds and awareness.

[Dickiy]

Yes, that's the hardest part of gambling, and most gamblers lose all their money because they can't control themselves in that situation. I've been in that situation too, and as you might expect, I lost all my money because it was hard to stop myself.

That's a very dangerous situation because there's no longer any fun, you're already desperate, and you're likely to make aggressive decisions. But it all comes down to your approach. If you're a responsible gambler, you shouldn't be in that situation.

The question is, did you win after taking a break after a few days?

Kidding aside, I would suggest that gamblers who are experiencing the same will do the same as what OP said. Taking a break might not increase your chances of winning, but that increases your chance of not losing more money since you will let yourself stop for a moment in gambling, take a break and fix everything. Being clear-headed will help you in making better decisions, and that might increase your chances of winning. Of course having a clear-head will still not help you make money if you're not lucky.

Overall, like what the OP said, we all need a break in gambling especially when we are in a losing streak. If we don't want our lives to end miserably just like what the other gamblers are experiencing, learn to stop if needed.

Not all of us can be smart when it comes to gambling. Even pros who’ve been doing this for a long time still make costly mistakes, so making mistakes is normal. What really matters is being able to correct them.

One way to do that is by actually recognizing what went wrong and reflecting on it. You’ll only be able to do that once you’re no longer blinded by your gambling side. That’s why taking a break is important, even though it’s not easy. Not everyone can do it right away, and for some it takes time before they finally realize it.

Won't help at all. Maybe you will cool down a bit by having a break for a week or a month but as soon as you will get back in gambling absolutely the same things will happen, you will keep losing in the long run. I am not making this up, many people including me which I have suffered this personally do not see a change for the long term, maybe you will win a first time after you come back or two times but over the long run you like everyone else will suffer loses. To keep gambling as an entertainment we need to decrease a whole lot the bankroll that we decide to use in gambling. I have seen people not making such decision or making it only in their head and when they lost, they kept rolling until they lose all of their balance. It takes a lot of courage to achieve such achievement.

Of course, I had a period like that. When I was constantly addicted to poker, I lost control. I realized that even at work I couldn't control myself and was constantly playing, wanting to relax and earn extra money. And there was one moment when I got into a really big tournament with a huge prize pool.
And when I saw that my cards, which should have won with a 95% probability, lost after the table opened, I simply smashed my expensive computer mouse. After that, I considered myself crazy and realized that I needed to calm down and take some time off. Because this is not normal, after all, it is a sign of obvious insanity.

This break helps a lot if you are already confused on what’s your real goal in gambling. I do have break regularly regardless if I’m winning or losing since there’s a time that even winning doesn’t makes me entertain due to boredom on repetitive games on gambling.

It helps me to make my mind focus and get an entertainment which I’m seeking when I gamble.

Many gambler forget that they have many opportunities to gamble again so they should break whenever they feel tired.

Stopping gambling with a recovery plan or taking a break to avoid addiction depends on our self-awareness. However, quitting is difficult for some people. Those who can easily quit or take a break are fortunate because it shows that they are still aware that gambling should be done in moderation. It is sad for those who cannot easily do this, they are trapped by their own thoughts, and that is purely their fault, not the fault of gambling.

Besides overcoming mental errors, taking a break can also be interpreted as saving our mental health, because I think if we continue and the results remain disappointing, it can negatively affect our mental health. People who consider gambling important are certain to face destruction.

Recommended if you are losing money and you are neglecting your job or family, taking a break is essential because gambling puts a lot of pressure on you. Even if you're playing for entertainment, there will be a time when you will be tempted to take gambling seriously, take a chance, and increase your bankroll.

So gamblers must have their own warning sign, and they should be aware of it, pause, and take a break, so that we can save ourselves from trouble resulting from gambling addiction.

[Rockson1]

Taking a break is what we need as gamblers so that we don't continue to lose money due to.out selfishness to get quick results from gambling. Those that understand the risk of gambling too frequently will never want to take decisions that will help them increase their gambling appetite to the level that will be very hard for control.

Of course in gambling there should be time for break, but how to identify when to get some break is no the problem, most gamblers neglects somethings in gambling and that is the reason for their addiction problem, as a gambler as soon as you finish your daily budget, I think your mind should tell you that, you are to go on break for the day may to continue the next day, although it requires discipline but is something we do not have to neglect or joke with, many gambler has been in check of their gambling habit and it has helped them  very well to stay responsible, people should know that for the discussions that relates to this to be much, it means we really need to help ourselves by trying this approach to stay safe.

You almost got into addiction because that is how it always starts and the most important and reasonable thing you did was to take a break because I wish you continued, you would have loss so much that you will be feeling stopping will not worth it considering how much you have spent or loss and this is what makes some people get addicted to gambling, their inability to realize they are making loss. Sometimes I make loss and when I observe it is becoming much for me I will stop for the main time and then continue when I have something I can not feel even when I lose it.

[danherbias07]

It does work. I have done this many times.

There are moments when we are too frustrated, stressed, or pressured by the losses that we received. Taking a break does help to clear all those negative emotions. It's like a computer that needs a reset just to make the system faster. We will not forget about the losses, but the rest we took can clear our minds from making the next decisions.
I have seen myself in a bad way when I am frustrated. Continuous deposits and never stopping because I badly want my money back. But it just leads to financial chaos because we are not thinking straight anymore.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

We all deserve a break.

Not really. If you don't bet too much (both in terms of amount and time), you don't think you 'deserve' a break because you don't need it. Conversely, if you are thinking that, it's because you are breaking a basic principle of good gambling. It's the same thing with drinking. No one thinks about taking a break from drinking if they only drink two beers a month.

I have also experienced something like that. Last year, I even decided to take a break from gambling twice, and the duration was almost several weeks without gambling. 
The effects were quite good, not only for our psychology but also for our finances. Because the money that we usually allocate for gambling, we can still save. 
Honestly, gambling is not really a place to have fun and relax. Sometimes, after losing in gambling, it actually causes even more exhaustion.

[Cgrexp]

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.
