Sometimes You Need a Break

[bisdak40]

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.

As a gambler, this happens to me often, and you’re right—taking a short break is very helpful. I always make sure that when I return, my mind is clear. Whatever happened in the past is forgotten, because dwelling on losses only adds unnecessary baggage. I live by my motto: winners never quit 🙂.

I noticed that when I try to gamble tired I make a lot of wrong decisions and also gamble alot bigger trying to hit a homerun win. Seems like sleep is your friend and drowsiness is your enemy. I wouldn't suggest trying to gamble when tired, especially in poker or games where you really need to think correctly.

I hope this motto is not for gambling and not for anything related to gambling? It is passing an hopeful message that can land some people into losses.

I play many non skill games like roulettes but I prefer not to use my sleep to joke. I am able to stop gambling whenever I want to but my problem in the past was the money I wasted on gambling. I think skilled games could be a reason that is resulting to forcing oneself not to sleep.

This really sucks, and it almost feel like an emotional curse for not being able to control or think of stopping until every penny in your bankroll are empty, and even go further by taking extra money from your bank account.
This is how frustration looks like when you gamble in complete lose of control because none of your logical betting strategy works.

I guess it's safe to say that most of us had to experience it at one point, so we can better understand that lucky charms and all those gambling rituals to attract luck don't work, but a calm and composed mind does.

Between each session and probably even each hour you need to take a break.
Having a break is also something pretty normal, I had many times and in some cases even not playing... for years!
This menas even not playing a sincle cent in a slot... not related any issue but just because when gambling you need a break.
Plus you're using crypto fiat bitcoin. In a certain way it could be really stressfull play with bitcoin. The same amount could be already estremely in positive just by hodling... its not easy at all risk on gambling again...

Taking a break or rather taking some days off as a gambler is always advisable and healthier because it gives you an opportunity in cooling off your head for better reasoning, perhaps trying to force it when you aren't getting it clear anymore is like causing more damage and lost to your self so it is cool and also of a great advantage for any gambler to take some pause to enable you of a better way out when next you are back.

Furthermore, gambling is not a die hard game and it's right for we to understand this fact because many has be missing up the whole concept of gambling and at the end when having issues they start blaming gambling instead of them that didn't do the right thing.  Therefore as a gambler that wish to be safe in your gaming streak just do what is expected of you by investing what you can let go even if you lose and you see things falling in place for you.

That happens many times to me. But I glad I can take over my emotions and stop gambling and hurting my bankroll. I already feels that situation that I feel difficult to stop gambling so I don't want that happens.

Force ourselves to taking a break for a few days is difficult decision. But that decision must be taken if they don't want to deeper in gambling and serious problems may arise.

Taking a break is recommendation to calm down our minds and emotions. We can return to gambling anytime so take a break for a while will be ok for you. We must not hurting our bankroll or allocation money to gamble so take a break is important.

That's true especially if you are in a losing streak? And then trying to make a comeback and win big, but on the contrary you continue to lose, then it's time to step back and re-assess and reset everything. Maybe you need to just have a break and enjoy other things in life besides gambling.

And believed me, it has happened to me many times, and once I reset and comeback, I will have this different kind of feeling and suddenly my luck will change and I'm going to win. Just like this day, I've already won after 3 days or procrastinating about losing earlier.

When this type of a situation is happening, immediately stop and look back at what you were doing. Being zoned out in gambling is common because of the dopamine rush and we become narrow minded. The player may have lose a lot of money before they realize it and even after having multiple opportunities to stop, they did not.

Hence I would say, that not sometimes but breaks are needed often in gambling to note what they have been doing all this while, how much they actually lost and so on.

[Darker45]

I think every gambler has experienced this. There were also times when it seems adrenaline, frustration, the urgent desire to get back, and so on all combined and instead of stepping back, I'd even press on the pedal harder and bet more and bet bigger. I think this is normal to many gamblers. There are indeed times when the surge of strong emotions would cloud your judgement and instead of slowing down you'd even go all-in. Of course, regrets come later.

[vanesha]

that is a sign that your self-control is starting to grow. ideally, someone who works as a trader, an analyst, or even when gambling, anything driven by emotion will easily harm us. we only need common sense and logic in doing anything so it will not make you lose much of yourself. congratulations if you have succeeded in mastering your self-control, which leads you to lower risk and satisfying wins without excessive emotion. let me see the next update, let us know if you grow your assets after becoming like this

Losing my entire bankroll and ending up with zero forced me to take a break. It happened when I was new to gambling and once it did, all the enjoyment disappeared. Being forced to take a break made me reset everything. When I eventually had new money to play gamble again, I felt like I could start again with a better strategy and self-control. After all, no one likes to lose all their money and reach a point where they can’t gamble anymore.

Sometimes, taking a break is needed and if we don’t choose to take one ourselves, circumstances will eventually force us to do it.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I take a break from time to time that it feels like am an occasional gambler. I don't gamble when am having a headache or when am bothered by pressing issues because I lose more or just throw away my cash for free.
The best times I gamble is when am fresh awake from nap or sleep and very clear headed and at this point I often hit a good cashout percentage and win most times, that my friends think I have a source that provides me with codes or help out with my betting predictions.

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..

I faced this situation similar to your's but the damage it took to my bankroll is sever. It will take me atleast 3months to recover. I know taking a break ain't bad , that's a good thing to revised your previous hands , plays and come up with something new that will work for you.

The thing is how you can recover your losses and comeback with full forces again. Emotion always hurts. The more you're getting emotional the more you losses. We realize this and again loses, how irony is this

To give you an example , earlier previous night  I won 300$ and after that night I lost my 300$ , I didn't think once that I need to stop. It didn't even hurt me. But it hurts when I saw at the end my bank roll has reduced.

The most important thing here is that you should enjoy gambling and if it turned out that your gambling activity becomes stressful then it is just that right that you should take a break rather than on doing gambling without having that mood on doing it. Gambling is just that for fun and the difference when you are playing gambling but you are not in the mood or you cant think off well then there's that chance or tendency that you might be making up some non logical actions specially that you are dealing up with money on which means that you are that bound on losing up money even more. Therefore, it would be recommended that if you do find yourself having no fun or stressful on doing gambling and cant think off well then it is just that right to have a break.

There's no sense that you would be playing and you arent having some fun because it is that totally that against in overall purpose of doing gambling.

This is the best time to take a break even if it's difficult to do. Gambling should not be a do or die thing, it should be engaged neutrally and with purpose. If these two are no more there, there's no reason whatsoever to continue gambling, especially when you know that emotion is right in already, it will be disastrous.

The issue with people is that they often get the warning signs, but they often ignore it, thinking they could change the situation of the card, but it has never always been helpful, other than to further push them farther into the red line.

you realizing that emotions are ruining your decisions is the hardest but also the most important step. most people fail at this point because they cannot be honest with themselves. in gambling the problem is often not luck but mindset. when you play while tired frustrated or angry mistakes are inevitable no matter how experienced you are. what you did by forcing yourself to take a break actually shows a mature and professional mindset. knowing when to stop is not giving up but taking back control. the most important thing is that you are no longer chasing losses. loss chasing is what sinks people the most. regaining control means you are back on top of the game not the game on top of you. honestly sometimes the best bet is not placing any bet at all. taking a break is not weakness it is discipline and discipline is what allows long term survival.

This is a problem that is faced by the people who want to gamble everyday because it not possible that someone can end up profitable at the end of the day so it can be a win on some days and on others we will lose the deposit completely that can be bit exhausting because it is kind of loop that keep repeating so we may not be in net loss or profit that is what that gives the exhausted feel.

For how many days did you need a break? I feel like the timing is crucial and having just a day of a break might no be enough to really feel yourelaxed but I think a week seems so long too. Do you think even if you're not losing you also need to take a break?

The duration of the break all depends on you, only you can decide how long you intend to go on a break...There are losses that makes the gambler go on a break for months because he or she must have lost a lot and at that moment what they need is a way out or should I say an escape to clear their mind. no amount of break is considered as too lomg when it comes to dealing with losses

although that is what happens when you gamble excessively. there are times when you gamble and loses becomes more frequently that you loss focus. this losing of focus will make you not know what you are doing anymore. i could remember some time ago when i was gambling in virtual game, and on that process i began to lose, and due to much loses, i became aggressive and start chasing after loses without much calculation, i even lose more in that process. the thing is that when you notice that you have started losing more than expected, all you need to do is to take break otherwise you will lose more of your bankroll.
