Most of the time the answer is yes, I take a break after some big loss or a losing streak, but I wasn't always like that... I guess now I am older & wiser, and I have a bit more control than I used to.

Every coin has two sides, so do you take a break when you are on a winning streak or a big win? It's harder to take a break when we are winning, but it's so wise to do it... it can save us a lot of money by keeping some profit and not chasing bigger wins, which usually ends very bad!

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?

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.

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?

Usually that's what I do to erase those negative thoughts and will not think losing. Taking some short breaks is I think the best thing to do to shake off those bad luck since there's no really sense to continue if you are in losing streak and you might lose a lot then get more frustrated to what you have encounter.

Many lose more its because they are engaging on stressful betting which they think chasing losses is best for them but turn out bad its because the result came different then they lose everything they have.

Better think more smarter and take a short time breaks to relax our minds.

If you are the type of gambler who has a limit on how much you can gamble and you see that your casino money is running out quickly, that is a sign that you should stop playing for now.

Especially if you are the type of gambler who does not know how to control the amount of money you gamble, when you notice that you are losing a lot of money gambling,
you should also stop playing for a while and come back another day and maybe you will get lucky.

I do often a break because imagine the stress you've got and the emotion at that time is not too stable sometimes you eagerness to make another bet just to cater the losses so instead of making a wrong decision in life taking a rest is one of the suitable thing to do, make a peace of mind, plan your next move or strategy so you can visual the things you've need to do before taking an action. I do consider days to make a recover but its up to the player how long they need to make themselves ready again for making a bet to beat the curse of losing streak.

Accepting your losses for a break is the best way to limit your losses. I have a gamble budget, the moment the funds is exhausted, I don't gamble till I refill it. If it happens that I go all in one on a session and I lose it, I am done with gambling throughout that week.

However, if I start gambling and I am on a losing streak, I quit immediately to gamble another day because, if I continue, I might get emotional and make wrong decisions.

I react differently since I always feel the fear of losing more when losing streak already hitting me hard regardless if I’m winning before that streak happened. I tend to loosen instead of persisting to recover my losses I knew that it’s very hard to change fate once I’m already losing.

I’m taking a break maybe few days then try again with minimal bankroll to test my luck again. Typically, I choose high odds with small bets to test my luck and purchase couple of bonus buy.

Taking a break is not just the best option to take but necessary. Just like the usual thing I did when I lost 3 bets straight, I took a pause. I was thinking about what I did wrong or if my emotions were too high, which I couldn't think right about, and my decision was too bad. Because it happened before, as I continued gambling and hoping for a big win. Unfortunately, the consequences are massive and regretful. That makes me realize that it was wrong, and chasing wins is not a good idea because that only leads to disaster.

I can't take a long break if I'm losing in gambling. Since I play on a small budget, a series of losses can significantly reduce my deposit, and instead of thinking about a break, I often try to play for the rest of my deposit in the hope that I'll get lucky and win back. I rarely succeed in this, but it doesn't upset me, because it's a small budget and I'm initially ready to lose it.

A reasonable and sensible person should know that when gambling and they lose that bet it is important to distance the gambling site for a while before continuing betting, without spacing gambling site after several losses would increase your eagerness and your anxiety level to recover what you had already lost, but at this time if you don't space then you keep losing regularly because your emotion is unstable and cannot think and reason very fine.

If I bet a parlay or multiple bet with at least 2-6 matches and I lost the bet, I don't mind to distance myself and take break till when next I should receive funds to my betting account. This is wise decision it makes you to regulate and control how often you would keep gambling and it also helps to reduce the rate at which you could have gotten addicted.

I take a brake when am on a losing streak and I do regret my actions when am gambling cause I normally gamble with what I can afford to lose. Desperate gamblers chase their losses and chasing your losses brings more lose. Greedy gambler don't gamble for entertainment they gamble to make money from gamble and if they lose they chase it until they lose everything.

Taking a break definitely helps but not everyone can afford to do it especially when gambling has already become part of their daily routine. Even for me, I find it hard to take a break, and since I’m on a losing streak, my bankroll is slowly drying up.

As gamblers we know that if we’re not betting an amount that excites us, then gambling starts to lose its meaning, so in my case, I’ll try to borrow just enough money, an amount I’m sure I can pay back. But if I still lose that, then I’ll have no choice but to take a break… because I’ll have no money left to gamble.

If am just going to bet on sports and maybe I already have a budget for the amount I want to spend, after analyzing and coming up with my prediction (mostly a parlay) I could just stake on the games and allow it to play out, sometimes it could be games that will last for days or a week. If the games was unsuccessful, I would have to wait till I have some funds to allocate for gambling again. Also, if am playing on the casino, I normally use just a small amount that even if I lose it all at that moment because of losing streak, I would not think about the money but after the lose, my next bet could bet after a a week.

In most case I will lose the entire capital for that day before thinking of having a break. Yep i have to find out whether I still have luck left for that day and the only way to find out is to keep going until its over. Anyway I often just deposit a few USD for the capital. Not an earth shattering funds.

Taking a break would have stopped the funds to be lost. Saving whats left for another day I think would have been a good decision.

I bet that Bournemouth would win or draw with Liverpool with $10. I lost the bet. Because of that, I am taking a break for at least 2 weeks. The money is very small compared to what I make weekly but that is how I bet. Also if I gamble and I lost money but which I planned before betting as I can not go beyond the money that I can afford to lose, I also stop gambling for awhile.

Some users just decrease their bankroll while other increase their bankroll to easily catch up with losses.

Personally, taking break is my self defense mechanism to not become addicted and suffer with more losses. I always loss when I’m already so obsessed on chasing my losses in the past so right now I’m taking a break frequently when I experienced losing streak for a short period of time.

It’s very hard to keep betting if you don’t win anything tho.
