Topic: Do you take a break when you are in a losing streak? - page 3. (Read 554 times)
Yes, I always stop gambling when losing streak to calm down my minds and not wanting to continue gambling. When we lose streak, there will be a wanting to recover the losses and that mean we will spend more money. That will not guarantee us to win because gambling will not let us win easily. We should understand that and not force ourselves to continue gambling. We should prevent more losses if we care with our money and we can continue gambling in the next days.
If you are experiencing a losing streak, it is a good idea to take a break and try again later when everything is okay, and I think quitting is the choice of most gamblers when they are experiencing a losing streak. And playing with full awareness is also very important in order to be able to restrain yourself from losing in larger amounts and not being controlled by the game, besides playing with full awareness has the potential to make it easy for you to control yourself and not be controlled by the game.
And pampering yourself with time to rest and reflect on the situation when experiencing a losing streak can sometimes help us approach the game so that we can play better, calm, controlled overall with a clearer mind and can enjoy the game in a relaxed way that is sometimes lucky.

Definitely.
This is to avoid making more mistakes because our minds are clouded by revenge after a losing streak and we will not have good choices whenever that happens. I think this should be mandatory for every gambler. We should take some pauses or rest whenever we are in the losing mode. It's not that we are unlucky but there are many things to consider like maybe it's not the right algorithm for us.
Also in my experience, I mostly get a good win after taking a break. Let the system reset and maybe when we come back that when we will get the high multiplier that we badly want.

Yes, always!
I have a monthly spending limit and I have been able to meet this challenge for a long time now.
So, if I am on a losing streak I am forced to stop because I know that after I reach this limit I will not be able to play again until the first of the month.
So imagine how frustrating it would be to lose everything I have dedicated to betting in the first week of the month and later have nothing to bet on that important match that I was sure I could win... that is very bad.
And this is an exercise that I strongly recommend to everyone as a good way to manage your bankroll... set limits and strictly adhere to them, that way you will think seriously before making a high, very risky bet or insisting on recovering losses.
The most correct action is to be calm. If we are unlucky, we need to take a break. In the end, we win even where there is no uncontrolled spending. Understanding this, we take a break and create conditions for future games. Going ahead in those moments when something goes wrong in gambling is like a bull reacting to a red rag.
...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?..
The only thing that can make a player stop betting is the lack of money. In this case, even if he really wants to win back the loss, he will have to take a break. In all other cases, if the player is not bound by additional restrictions, he will continue to play.
There is no doubt, when losing, especially losing streak, I will definitely take a break, I don't know how long it will be, but I need a break for several things:
- Manage my mental and emotion
- Refresh my mind
- Arranging more tactics for the next bets
Well, because what else can I do, luckily I'm not an addict, so I can do this, considering that I can't lose anymore in a larger amount and to avoid addiction due to the desire to get back the money that I lost.

For me personally, honestly, I don't have to experience a losing streak first to stop and take a break, usually just one loss is enough to make me stop and do other activities in my life and of course rationally, that is indeed the best action that should be taken by all gamblers and don't have to wait for a losing streak first because as you said, continuing the game will most likely only increase the amount of losses, especially if your intention is to pursue recovery. But of course this also depends on the goals of the gambler himself, if for example from the start they came to pursue victory, then a losing streak is definitely a situation that will be very difficult to accept, which in most cases often makes gamblers even more reckless and usually they will only stop when they have lost all their money at that time. 
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.
it really does depend though i mean even if you have a balance, but you already lost so much then i don’t think you should continue anymore you should be well aware when you should stop otherwise even if you don’t deposit back again you still lost so much either way 
So, who here actually takes a break after a losing streak? Or do most just keep going despite the losses?
I do, for me, it is a great way to refresh your mind, gather your thoughts and get out of your funk after your losing streak. for gamblers that get more aggressive in gambling trying to recover their loss, you should really consider taking a break after a losing streak, this isn't just a suggestion from a random person, mental health professionals also suggest that gamblers take a break after a losing streak.
I believe this is a very important topic that needed to be discuss by gamblers here because our actions dictates our future...

Voted already on this. Most people likely to keep going despite of losing such, but let's change this mindset and go for a better gambling. Don't let emotions ruin your finances, if you find it hard to win then let it be! don't stress yourself into something unachievable. Let another day pass, then bet again and I'm pretty sure our luck is going to come.
Bare in mind to take a break once losing streak happens.
I say this as nicely as I can, but the brain does not work so well when losing. When playing a game and going into a loss, I should bet more and get back the lost money, but this way, it can not be recovered, and most of the time, it seems that more losses are incurred.Bare in mind to take a break once losing streak happens.
This has happened to me many times, no matter how many times I have tried, I have been able to withdraw very little money. Moreover, most of the time, I have remained on the losing side. It is challenging to get out of such losses immediately.
If you're forecasted the consequences for having weak emotions, losing all over again would technically occur and you can't control that behavior even though many people and close friends will warn you. Nobody can change your mindset, no other than but it's you mate. Don't wait until everything went to nothing, because many wealthy and rich people ended up bankrupt because of gambling mis management. That's why you need to learn more lessons from that very big mistakes in order to become strong and empowered during your emotional battle with decision making.

Who wouldn't? They 100% should. Just like how wins can influence our dopamine to play more and spending more, the opposite could be said to have the same thing. While I'm not sure if there's a dopamine increase in losing (I reckon it should have, I'm just not generally familiar with how its released though), it is for a fact that losing a lot continuously influences your mind in a rather negative way. As you've pointed out, being aggressive in trying to break it and break our losses is one. Others might just be playing till you actually break even and while not doing it aggressively, I reckon it's still bad imo. Not that it helps for most people imo. I mean that's why I set a limit really. So even if I do try to chase a loss, I at least would inevitably stop after a certain point due to having a limited budget which will NOT increase.

Everyone says they will stop but still you can see lots of gamblers keep on gambling when they are losing and do not have any hopes of recovering yet they keep going. Gambling is addictive and when you already have a gambling problem, there are many things that you will be doing and thinking that they are regular things that other gamblers are doing but yet they are not. I will take a break after losing only one game and if I was to keep gambling after taking that break and I lose again, then I will be stopping to gamble for that day. There is no point to keep gambling because I would be doing the opposite of what this thread is advising us against and that is not right. After losing, give it some time and you will be capable of recovering from your losses.

There is the behavior that we should follow and the actions that we actually take. You'll find most normal people, most gamblers, will claim that you should follow proper "bankroll management" which never really happens except for poker players who are serious about building a long term profit in the game. The majority of people playing casinos and sports betting will gradually lose money, because the odds are stacked against them. Casinos are guaranteed to wipe you out if you play for long enough, but bookmakers are pretty accurate with their odds selection too and few people can beat them. Once you understand that, the only management you have control over is when to leave your losing session each day, if you start with a balance of $150 you might decide to walk away at $100 - but it takes incredible willpower to stick to such goals that few people have.
I’m not taking a break, I'm a gambler, and I can’t consider a day a good day without gambling. Just being real here, dude. Some might say we should take a break, but no, if I still have money to gamble, why would I deprive myself of something that truly makes me happy?
Yes man, you are real and this is real talk. We are all different gamblers and have our risk appetite. Yours may be higher than mine which is the reason why you don't take a break. My risk appetite is still growing as someone who don't have a lot of money, I do my best to play it safe when I canQuote
Real gamblers will understand that feeling. But those who are just testing the waters or not really into it won’t relate as much to those of us who have been doing this consistently for years.
You are speaking from years of experience. I test the water and take a break. With years to come, my bankroll will be as large so that I will play to my hearts delight and no losing streak will stop me. 
Taking a break is a requirement in a place like gambling. If you can’t control yourself and you just let your emotions decide your future, it will just lead you to more losses or maybe getting straight to addiction. That’s why if you feel that you’re making non-sensical decisions in gambling that is full of risk. Always prepare yourself and remember to take cooldowns because your future is on the line here.

This has been a question of debate on the forum for long. Though alot of persons would share a positive opinion of what they might do, but many would actually still end up being in such situation. Its one of the most difficult things when we gamble. The ability to stop your self and apply self control. Most times we may want to avenge our losses and think that we might get them back. But this actually put us into more losses. Along side addiction comes in play...
Based on the results of the polls, everyone here is a "smart" gambler. As we really take a break when we see that we are not winning and it seems that our choices are that bad. So for me it's the same, I will stop indefinitely if I see that I'm not winning. And I think that is the usual response of our mind, to pause our gambling activity for a certain period of time.
But it depends though, sometimes I will do like 2 days not going on sports betting, but still following the news. Or as far as a month for casino games like slots and dice. The main thing is that you take that small pauses from time to time, to relax a bit and then evaluate your betting strategy before resuming our gambling activity.
