Sometimes You Need a Break

[Makus]

Sometimes taking a break is very important  because it is needed to reset and perhaps just take some time off. Most gamblers don't know when to take a break and that's a problem for them, after they must have lost a huge amount they go ahead to chasing their losses continually. gambling frequently not only increases your chances of losing it only stresses you out mentally, that's why it is important to take break to give your head a little space to rest. Gambling should not be a do or die affair, if you gamble in a desperate way you might end up as an addict or losing too much

Anything we're doing in this life we need a rest, gambling is something that is unpredictable and if is not favouring you the best tills you will do is to give your self a rest or probably look for other way if gambling is not helping, because some of the people I no that they don't have any things doing they make it a way of getting money in it and gambling is a place that can make you get addicted easily because what I understand about betting is that the more you win, that is how you will be playing more because you will get the believe of your self that you're perfect and gambling frequently and when you lose , you will start chasing your money and when you start chasing money you're have started to become addicted.

To sum up the whole thing here, it is that we should try as much as we can never to gamble without having a break or consider gambling as a way of making income. The moment we allow that mindset in us, that's how we are closer to losing the little which we have, and chasing your losses is never a good thing, as that will take you into addiction faster than anything else.

The tendency to keep on pushing the buttons after our defeat in a trout crushing manner is usually the start of a collapse we did not wish to get into. You are correct that we will rebuild our heads by taking ample rest time to actually think properly and not get ensnared in a process of endless acquisition of capital. It is important to avoid sheer hurry so that we can go on with the game as a mere light effort not being strained by irrelevant life and death situations.

Yeah, taking break helps whatever activity it may be (gambling or otherwise), you just seem to have that motivations to get back to it after a break or sometimes you won't and if it's so then may be it's time to drop that activity

Sometimes taking a break is very important  because it is needed to reset and perhaps just take some time off.

Not sometimes, but it is a must. We must know when we must to take a break. When we spend the money allocated for the day or when our mood starts to be bad, this is the sign that we must take a break. Yep, taking a break is need to calm our mind. This is also the way to deal with our emotion.  

Most gamblers don't know when to take a break and that's a problem for them, after they must have lost a huge amount they go ahead to chasing their losses continually.

The gamblers who don't know the time for taking a break, they may be addicted already. They also probably don't have a limit for the time in gambling and for the money allocated for gambling. That's why it is very important to have the limit in gambling. So, we know when we must stop playing the gambling games.

gambling frequently not only increases your chances of losing it only stresses you out mentally, that's why it is important to take break to give your head a little space to rest.

It depends on how often to play gambling weekly. If we gamble daily, sure it may make us be stressed. But if we only gamble 2-3 times a week, I think it won't be very stressful. Well, it is needed to know the ideal time allocation for gambling for ourselves.

Every activity (especially when it’s meant to be for recreational purposes) should be expendable and the moment that gamblers starts feeling like gambling is no longer expendable, then that’s a big cue that there’s a problem and should be looked at immediately. Taking a break from gambling particularly is a must, if you’re to always keep your emotions in check when gambling. This is because, for most gamblers, there comes a time when things get really tense and moving forward could mean danger, so the best thing to do at this point is take a break for a while, I do this all the time, in fact I’m still taking a break from gambling at this very point in time, it’s something I do all the time and I know how much that really helps me.

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.

Taking a break from gambling can indeed help us clear our minds. Gambling too often and losing will surely fill our minds with anxiety and frustration. 
All that is needed is to divert attention and time to other things. One can spend time with family or engage in other, more calming activities. Although the duration actually varies for each gambler. Some may only need a few days to improve their mind and feelings. But there may also be gamblers who prepare for a longer break from gambling.

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 haven't gambled to that extent where I wouldn't know my limits because of how much I have lost while gambling. The major thing there is that when you find out what you should be using to gambling, the amount you should be spending while gambling it would help you the more to control yourself while gambling. For example; if you do allocate $100 to gamble per week, you must try as possible to share this amount across the week so that it would save you the more while gambling and if the amount is exhausted before the week ends then you aren't that permitted to make additional deposit to gamble, with this you can control yourself.

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.

it is wise to always give gambling a break instead of doing it frequently, there's a reason why i always limit my gambling activities, ot saves money, time and also helps you avoid getting addicted to it...I don't think i have experienced gambling fatigue before  this happens with a lot of gamblers because they gamble excessively even when they don't feel like it..it is important to take long breaks

There are times when the brain and the body are not willing to gamble. At these times, it is better to quit gambling because I see no reason why one should force himself or herself to gamble when it is not a life-or-death situation. It is important for gamblers to recognize these moments because it will save them from losing money and from making their emotions worse.

 There is a need to take a break from gambling because gambling is a game of fun, meaning one is supposed to be in the mood to enjoy themselves and not go in with emotions that, if the outcome of the game results in a loss, can affect them even more.

Why force yourself? You shouldn't. Your mind will tell you when it's convenient to gamble. A certain inner desire to spend time at the casino arises without any resistance. I know this from my own experience. There are times when I have money on deposit, but I don't want to gamble. Why does this happen? Honestly, I don't know. Perhaps it's just how our brains work, telling us that now isn't the best time.

[Tungbulu]

Sometimes it's due to our expectations, and when it's cut short, we freak out and try getting it right immediately, but it doesn't work some days, while it does some days. But it's good to know when you need this break.

That’s right. This type of experience creates a kind of adrenaline rush on the gambler, and the more you keep going the more the emotions keep rising and the more the emotions keep rising, the higher your chances of making nasty decisions and moves which could in turn do quite the opposite effect of what was initially intended. But taking a break helps you calm your nerves, that sudden deviation reduces the adrenaline rush and even when you come back later, you’re already thinking clearer and better than you were a while ago.

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.

There's a term in poker for this condition and it's called "tilt". According to AI "tilt refers to a state of mental or emotional frustration that leads players to make irrational or reckless decisions, often deviating from sound strategy". When you get trapped in such mental condition, you should do your best to get out of whatever gambling game you are playing as fast as possible. I've been tilting several times in poker games and it sucks. Luckily, I've gained experience and matured in the last several years, so I'm more relaxed and I don't fall in the "tilt" trap.

I have seen very few people totally give up gambling. Especially those who gamble as adults age, once they get pleasure from it, they never want to leave it. And the gambling system is designed in such a way that people become more and more attracted to it over time. I tried to quit completely at one time, then I stopped betting for a few days, and at that time I would only think about gambling all day long, although I did not bet any money at that time. Later, due to a bad mental condition I chose the path of responsible gambling.

If it's just feeling comfortable around gambling, then the person doesn't really need to push themself too much to stop; as long as they are just having fun and don't spend too much time which they could not afford to spend, it's only when it has started affecting their other activities and finances that I consider it necessary for the person to try as much as he or she can to stop. Even if they will continue later, they need to rethink before starting again.

We all have situations in life when we have very bad self-control. Do you guys remember how when we were in school, and when we were sick, we were left home alone. We often turned on the TV or played computer games. We weren't predisposed to this, but we wanted to have fun. I had a similar situation with gambling when I realized I had little self-control. When I recently got sick with a fever and a cough, I was still tired of lying around and wanted some entertainment.
So I picked up my laptop and played online slots for a while, and I worked myself up to the point where I lost two hours. Afterwards, my eyes watered, and I realized that during that time, not only had I lost money, but I had also harmed my health. And after that, for the rest of my illness, I didn't visit an online casino.

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.

Even when you feel that you're still in control of your gambling, taking a break is one way you can at least ascertain that you're in charge of your gambling lifestyle.  Of cause, when you're loosing, it's even more deficult to opt out or agree that you need help. You will always think that you're having fun untill you step out of the system and look at your gambling lifestyle from outside the circle of your gambling involvement and then you can see clear enough how much you're exposed to gambling and wether you're headed towards becoming an addict.

Even in games that doesn't require money, you still need some times out because getting too involved in a thing to the point where it almost looks as though you can't do without it drains not just your finances but also drains almost every and all the other aspect of your life including how productive you can be in terms of setting up a goal and actualising it...

Once you have reached that realization that you are losing money, you should be able to step away. Though some are quite delusional and keeps saying that one more round and they will surely reclaim what they have lost but as usual they never actually do and just end up losing more than what they intended to.

Gamblers sometimes need a break because nonstop betting can mess with your head and your money. When you keep playing it’s easy to chase losses and make dumb choices.

Stepping away helps you calm down, think clearly and remember gambling should be for fun not stress.

I don't think taking a break from gambling can increase your chances of winning, but actually, this is to prevent us from getting too involved in gambling, especially when we are losing, our minds can be completely controlled. If we don't immediately think about stopping, even when we are doing other work, our minds will still think about gambling, so the results could be worse. So stop and play again when you can accept any result.

Since he thinks about gambling all day it means there is already a problem, ii can be the beginning of addiction this is already crossing the line of comfort in my opinion, it's better to be careful, in a long daily life must have a clear mind to do what he has to do and not think about gambling, if you think about gambling all day it means you have entered into a continuous desire to gamble, this is the same as how you want to do it and can't wait to do it, I recommend to be careful when your mind experiences such things about gambling.
