I believe this is a very important topic that needed to be discuss by gamblers here because our actions dictates our future...

sometimes when we’re on a losing streak, we tend to get more aggressive in trying to recover our losses, but that’s often the reason why our losses grow even bigger, and in some cases, it can even lead to gambling addiction. So, who here actually takes a break after a losing streak? Or do most just keep going despite the losses?

there’s a poll for you to vote on, don’t forget to cast your vote!

I do, even though I am not into losing streak, I take a break. And so, when I experience losing streak, I have to stop and that makes sense for someone who's got stressed out by losing. It helps a person to take a break and at least breath some air because it won't help anymore if you chase your losses. That's a huge mistake of many gamblers that we knew when they continue even after several losses. If you're taking care of yourselves, all you have to do is to make sure that your mind is set and free from all the stress that are coming from losses whether they are big or small. Because anytime we can come back and gamble again when we're alright.

I can bet that atleast 40% of the votes in the poll would presumably belong to folks that don't even recall their left from right when they start losing.... It's more of like "clicking the yes button for clicking sake" kind of thing.
Well I guess they'd have to tell us who are the people behind the recent happenings -- the catastrophic deadends of gambling addiction problems that we read about almost everyday on the web?

There's more to it than hitting a poll on BTT -- How irresistible can you become when you're faced with this challenge behind closed doors?? Can y'all be honest to yourselves??

There can never be a good result from gambling out of the pressure of a losing streak. If you continue gambling without taking a break from gambling after serious losing that burns out your bankroll, the best thing to do is take a break and don't indulge yourself in what some people consider revenge gambling because it will only lead to losing more money, which will make it more difficult to recover what you have lost in the beginning that led you to that mood.

You have the answer to your own question, and the right answer is that taking a break is the most appropriate when we experience consecutive gambling losses, but if you think about how long you take a break is an interesting question to continue because it is a follow-up answer so as not to take the wrong action, there are some people who take a break for only a few hours, even though taking a break from consecutive betting losses is when your mentality and your mind are no longer thinking about returning the money that has been lost in the previous consecutive losses and that's where you are ready to gamble again after taking a break from consecutive losses.

And still, what is a losing streak for you? 3-5 bets is a losing streak or 10 losses in a row is a streak?

to me anything consecutive is a losing streak

if you lose three times in a row then you are in a losing streak but if you lose, you win, then you lose again that is not a losing streak that’s just normal experience while gambling there’s obviously differences as well with streaks it could be a short streak or a long streak

I have to take a break, and the length of time very much depends on the amount of money I've lost. This is very important to protect our well-being; every everytime we lose money, we get frustrated and that frustrations adds up on every losses, The bigger the frustration and bigger the toil to our body and mind.
Its a sign that you are a responsible gambler if you can take a break to avoid mental breakdown.

It is needed for our mental well-being. Otherwise, we will feel different emotions here like disappointment, regret and other negative feelings if you will let yourself dwell in this kind of situation.
If your losing streak is like never-ending. Better pause and call it a day, even if you are still on the negative side. Because you may be adding more losses if you will push thru your luck. Also, consider the funds that you already lost, was it already beyond your allocated budget? Because if you already reached your limits, better assess your situation and decide what you really want to do next.

When I was young, whenever I'm frustrated, I take a break. It can be long or short, depends on my mood, once I'm already fine, I will back to gamble.

But, after so many frustration in gambling and I've learn a lot from it, I no longer need to take a break, because it's normal. If something bad happen, I can accept it and call it a day.

I might need to take a break, only if I gamble too much, for now I only gamble on the range that I can afford to lose.

A losing streak in gambling causes psychological disruption, a temporary break can make the mind clear, reduce stress, compared to having to continue playing when experiencing a losing streak that makes you lose control, often without full awareness of spending all the money, just because you want to restore the previous loss. After refocusing, you can try to analyze the possibility of winning the next game, with a more stable mind of course this will be easier.

Why would a normal person keep gambling after much consecutive losses. Gambling is not easy and we need to understand that gambling is not actually safe for everyone. If you know that gambling has been making you lose consecutively, then it's better to put a stop or take a break. When I keep losses in gambling, I do take a rest so that i don't get addiction because gambling is risky since it involves financial decision. Taking risks has been a norms in gambling and that do not mean that we would keep gambling for as much as we like. Betting has it own disadvantage which is why frequent betting is not that good and precaution need to be applied.

I voted "yes" in the pool because it's not just what I do when faced with a losing streak, but also think it's the absolute right thing for any one to do during such a time.

Now, I want us to actually understand something important, when a gambler is gambling simply for fun and winning is not important, I see no reason to quit gambling at that time since winning wasn't actually important, but enjoying the game is. There are a couple of games I do play at times and I don't bother when I enter a losing streak, the fun i am having is much better, and the lose doesn't trigger any desire to want to win back what I've lost, I simply enjoy the game and i quit playing when my account balance hit 0.

But when gambling for profit, best decision is to quit when hit with a long losing streak.

Taking a break is must thing to do, not only when we are in a losing streak but also in a winning streak as it will help us to keep us on our own control.
When we are in a losing streak, taking a break will avoid us from the greed of trying to chase/recover what we have lost.
On the opposite side, taking a break while we are in a winning streak will avoid us from the greed of "we want more and more" while high possibility it will only make us lose what we have just won.
All in all, taking a break is part of self-control which is a must thing to have by all gamblers if we do not want to jump into the worse case.

I also use small amounts when betting, but when I experience losses in a row, I take a break. Because I know that I act with my emotions in such situations. Whereas I always aim to act using my mind first. But sometimes I can let my emotions get the better of me. But when I realize that, I immediately take a break. But as I said, I use small amounts when I bet. For example, I never bet more than the price of a cup of coffee. That's why I don't regret it easily. Even if I lose in a row, I can sometimes make another bet.

Every other organ losses focus when the brain is tired and needs rests, also the brain reward system can get overused. That the regular wagered amount no longer excites the player so he'd have to place more funds to feel a fresh dopamine. The few moments of rest recuperates mental focus and strength, and gives a player new thoughts.

I don't take a break when I'm on a losing streak because I manage my bankroll well. I look at sports betting as just fun and not a source of income. For example, if I decide that each week I'm going to take $10 to bet on 10 games and I lose all 10 games, I don't get sad because I know that next week I'll take $10 again to play. The $10 is already lost money when I decide to use it for sports betting.

Let me first of all speak for myself, if i'm on a losing streak i can take a break and return back after some days or weeks depending on how long i want to stay away from gambling and since i already has a job am doing, i don't find it difficult to stay away from gambling until the desired time i want to resume again. But from a general perspective or what happens in most cases, gamblers don't easily retreat when they are on a losing streak especially those gamblers that gets their income from other sources on a daily basis because they will always have the money to gamble everyday regardless if they win or lose.

You could have added more options to the poll instead or just a 'yes' and 'no'. Adding options like 'probably' or 'it depends' would have been better Huh

It's a very dangerous time when lost and lost. When you repeatedly lose in a game, you feel like you need to take a break, but our brain is so distorted that you can't. You could have saved a lot of money if you could control yourself and stop playing the game.

You know what the problem is for such person? The problem is not about to stop gambling while losing. The problem is that the person think he can make money from gambling. That is what people like that should stop. Gambling should not be a way to make money but a way of passing time with something fun. When they start thinking like that, they will win and not continue to gamble, also they will lose and not continue to gamble for that time which is how gambling should be.

I would like to answer yes and no, because it depends from the games I play and bets I made. If I play dice it is normal to have a losing streak. If I play very low bet to try to test an algorithm, or play with strategy, it is ok to lose. And my answer would be yes, if I place sports bets and lose all of them. And still, what is a losing streak for you? 3-5 bets is a losing streak or 10 losses in a row is a streak?

They are gamblers who have been able to have the right approach and responsibility for themselves who can certainly really stop after lost streak because for people who gamble only to prioritize profit and consider gambling as side place to make money will always chase loss until they have no money at all.
But most find it difficult to think that lost streak can bring bigger loss and it is necessary to know that some gamblers have their own beliefs that after lost they can win big if they continue to bet.

Stop or continuing the game is an option, but depends on the budget you currently have. If you still have a balance, then it makes sense to try to continue in the hope of winning the next round, but you should stop and rest if the balance runs out instead of re-depositing. There is nothing to force, if you think stopping for a moment is good, then you should stop.

You are right. If we keep losing money, it is entirely up to me whether I will stop gambling or continue. But I decide to spend a certain amount of money on gambling in a week. And if I lose this amount of money, I retire from gambling for that week. And wait for the next week again. Since I have set a limit on losing money, it is not a cause for concern for me even if I continue to lose money in gambling. But I think it is beneficial to spend small amounts on gambling. The amount of profit is less and the risk is also less.
