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?

The first thing to do before you start up your gambling sessions is to first agree with in yourself to take whatever comes your way as regardless if you win or lose the game, the moment you decide to chase whatever direction that will be the beginning of your issues with your finances since the pressure to win more or recover from your previous loses becomes intense and at some point a big burden that can swallow up the gambler, so one needs to accept for a fact that limiting yourself from excessive gambling is key to stay off from bad debt or addictions and maximizing your security of fund's regardless of your win or losing.

I think I when replied to up to two didferent threads that are related to this topic and in all of them I gave the same or similar response which was “yes, I would”.

Usually when I am faced with losing streak - I tend to just take a break from gambling, look for other things to do so that I can clear my thought and then return but this time I’m not aiming for profit but instead looking for the game that has the highest chance of winning and when I come across one I’d place the minimum bet and see if I’d win it.

This whole process is just to get my brain to play off the previous losing streaks I encountered - there’s a way losing streaks messes with your brain so if you’re not careful you might end up chasing losses which could lead to more damage.

Not just in gambling but even in your life when things are not going in the way as you expected just take a moment to analyse the situation which will give the clarity of what to do next. The same goes for gambling too but for the obvious reason which is losing isn't fun and we should gamble for fun so when there's no fun in that then take a break, shift your focus on something important and try your luck later. People can survive if they don't gamble at all so don't complicate the life with unnecessary decisions when it's not needed.

We sleep every night so that our bodies can be relaxed, get refreshed for the next day so that we don't make stupid decisions.
When you are on a winning streak, take a break. When you are on a losing streak take a break. There is so much that taking a break in gambling does and that should not be taken for granted.
Just as making some stupid life decisions are reduced after a good sleep so does making some stupid gambling decisions are limited when we take breaks.

Any gambler should do that rather than continuing to chase defeat. At least taking a break can renew the mind to be clearer, to be able to think healthily again, to put down all the burdens of defeat. Those of us who can still divert defeat from gambling are people who are able to control ourselves. Because in gambling self-control cannot be done all, sometimes you have to step back and gather strength.

Taking a break when on a losing streak is probably the wisest thing to do and this is something that can save you from incurring losses. The instincts of an addicted or emotional gambler would be to continue betting hoping that the next win can give them the recovery boost they need. Gambling doesn't actually work this way and it's the wrong way to approach it, I have lost a lot of money in the past doing this. Losing streaks can happen sometimes and you must give it a break when this happens instead of trying to push your luck. Taking a step back makes you a responsible gambler.

Take break is just the best decision to take in gambling when the is becoming what you can't afford because their is no guarantee if continuing playing you cam be able to recover the money you have already lose in gambling. There are some gambling habits or pattern of gambling people need not to consider because it can be a trap may be some other time. Just imagine one decides to continue playing after losing and eventually succeeds in recovering all the lose, it will be a habit in the next game to continue playing believing that it is very possible to see recover loses.

It is better to have in mind never to continue playing when one is losing, if one is not been affected by the decision immediately, it will be a gambling pattern that one will still have to bear the consequences in the future.

Taking a break becomes very necessary in such a scenario before it turns to be that you end up loosing more than you can bear and you get even depressed and even more troubled and in some cases get addicted and do some crazy things you wouldn't have done ordinarily if you weren't gambling continually after the series of loss, for me I recommend a break probably you get to come back better and with better decisions and picks.

You can especially wipe out your bankroll totally, that's the most dangerous and important thing IMO. Personally if I start to feel bad and being more aggressive in my gameplay I try to take a break or to play another game in order to avoid entering a vicious circle. Otherwise I continue to play the same game without increasing my stake hoping to get a winning streak, erasing my losses.

It's someone who's addicted to gambling will keep gambling even when it is obvious that they are on the losing side of gambling. I haven't for once taken the step of pursuing my losses in gambling before because already I normally map out small amounts of money to gamble with. If the amount finishes when gambling, I call my gambling for that day I quit until when I am ready to try my luck on gambling again. It can be the upper week or next month depending on when I am chanced.

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.
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.

Taking a break after a losing streak is necessary because if we continue to play at that time, I am sure the losses will continue even though there is a saying that once again you will reach the point of victory that you are aiming for. For me that is not 100% true.
In gambling, you also need a break. What I mean by taking a break here is to relax our minds so that our emotions do not jump around.
When we take a break, that is where victory in gambling comes.

Yes, sometimes.

There's nothing wrong to take a short break when we're in lose streak, it might ruin our mood, so we can find happiness on the other thing like playing video games, meet up with friends or just going out.

I see that there are few people who voted no, I'm worried if they might be addicts who can't stop gambling.

It’s not the losing streak that makes me take a break but it’s the bankroll problem.

If I’m serious about gambling, especially sports betting, I understand that losing streaks are just part of the game, so if I have a solid bankroll and stay disciplined with my bet sizes even a 5 to 10-game losing streak wouldn’t shake me. It’s always better when you already anticipate what could happen and accept it, so that way losses just feel like another ordinary day, and you don’t panic when they come.

In the long run, it doesn't matter.
After you experience a ton of losing streaks you will also realize that betting after them in half of the cases you would have made profits and in half of the cases you would have lost it, deciding to stop after a losing or winning streak I statistically no different than stopping now or tomorrow or based don't he moon phases.

People are relly superstitious or at least try to think luck is just like sleep so you take a nap and your luck comes back Grin

No, doesn't work like that, unfortunately.

I voted for Yes.

When I have like string of unsuccessful bet or losing streaks, I will go and take a break and simply get out of gambling for a couple of days. I don't like to push myself and chase for that win as I will not be confident of the bet that I will going to make next so, mentally, I need to rest for a while.

For sure, there are a lot of gamblers who also rest for several days after a losing streak. I think it's just normal for us because the more we bet, the more we are going to lose and it's really better to just take some time off to refresh our minds and be back maybe with a better strategy and better picks.

Dont even think about it, just take a break to split up your betting regularly will be a healthy helpful process to gaining better returns. Its easily arguable a person will have better luck after a previous negative streak given some time and distance left between the two. Dont presume it but just taking a rest is helpful imo, quit before you get tired is best also.

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.

Going for an immediate break? No. When the losses persists, Yes. Because I'd assume that the brain power has lessen and no longer makes efficient decisions. However it's unbearable the kind of dangers that emerges from aggressive moves towards the losses, chances of change would be low. And more losses will be incured. Taking a break builds back the lost energy and revives fresh thoughts. Whoever thinks out of tiredness may have themselves to blame.
