Topic: Don’t push playing more - page 6. (Read 853 times)

The initial reaction of a person when they lose in a gambling activity is the recover their losses and try to regain the advantage they had. Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, they have to start gambling again which creates an endless cycle for the gambler and the gambling company.

Sure, a person may win but they should never discount the possibility of losing as well. Not to mention, losing in a way of a losing streak sucks and this can only add fuel to the fire if they keep on continuing.

If a person is aware about their limits, then it should be somehow easier for them to break this cycle but almost everyone is challenged by this said act. I just hope that people would try their very best to know when to stop in order to avoid this problem escalating further.

Taking a break after a loosing streak is very important and cannot be overly emphasised but it's sad how people are still yet to wanting to adhere to this rule but interestingly this rule works just that they have failed to try it so they wouldn't know how well, I have been in a similar situation as the OP and I took a break which spanned over two months, when I came back I found out I was better off.

You get a more relaxed mind after the break because you will be playing on a fresh mind with having loses at the back of your mind to chase, after series of losses what most persons do is to embark on a pursuit to recover their losses and in most cases they never get to recover instead they loose more, this is found in 8 out of 10 gamblers.

Taking a break can also be seen as part of responsible gambling as always prescribed by the gambling house or casino, most times you may often turn out even luckier after your break and it helps you keep your self in check enough not to get to the point where you turn into an addict. They are all measures to help you gamble better and responsibly.

I tend to see more impossibilities in pushing hard to stake more when them previous games haven't yield anything reasonable... Why? I believe there's a major deterioration in your level of thinking when you become anxious ( when you stake heavily and lose)... So it'll definitely turn out badly when you tryna push hard..
I've seen a situation where a gambler - out of frustration - had to wager on impossible odds... The reasons he did this was clear.. - that he's been wagering all day on the most probable games and odds and sadly, non showed up for him.

There is no need to feel bad, in gambling it is always normal to lose, the game is made for that, when you play in the casino the normal thing is that you can apply many strategies and that you can play when you have a positive attitude, that is, not have a lot of pressure, don't have a lot of stress, don't have many things that you can get stressed about when playing, it is always good to play with a clear head, with everything under control where you don't feel any pressure, don't get Think about what you have lost, do simple game sessions, for example 3 sessions, if you lose all 3 it doesn't matter, go another day, if you win 2 out of 3 then also, don't think too much about what you lose, just allocate whatever you are destined to lose, because that is basically what our mind plays badly with us, it is better to be completely relaxed, not to think about whether you will win, or lose, whatever has to happen, it is better this way, when others propose to us that We have to make a daily goal, that is enough to cause stress, and that is not good.

When a person puts luck into play, then you have to accept whatever is given, then based on this you can only obtain the results that are, now my advice is, if you do three sessions it is fine, but if you do a session and at once you have a profit because it is better to leave it there, even if the profit is small, because the important thing is that you have your balance in favor, it does not matter that you have to go the next day, it is the only way to make it more profitable , that's what I have discovered, I have not seen any other type of strategy that can give results, generally when the person wins they must go the next day or another day, now if there are 3 gaming sessions, if the first two are lost, no It matters because if you recover something with the 3rd one, then that's fine, but as I say, if you lose the 3rd ones, then you don't have to feel like, it leaves the next day, you may have better luck, and that's the only thing that matters.

It does become emotional sometimes we do not accept defeat even though we have spent a lot of money above the budget limit set, the soul of emotion is sometimes still difficult to eliminate but we are more strict about the grip on gambling where when the bankroll is exhausted will close the account and not open again until the bankroll is available.

Setting a betting limit is very important, if not then something like this will happen, just be disciplined and do what has become a limit with the budget and know that gambling with emotion will be even more so by increasing the bet it will lose more.

That is the first.... Now it is even stricter in terms of budget.

Limit, limit, limit - a mantra, right? Keeping a budget is crucial whether gambling or enjoying any leisure. Setting that alert to cry "Stop!" when things get too exciting at the tables or slots is great wisdom. However, this minor pseudo-problem intrigues me: what happens when the joy of the game overshadows budgeting and strategic pauses?

You're right; winning should be the cherry on top, not the whole dessert. Keeping gambling light, pleasant, and casual makes unexpected wins delightful bonuses rather than dire needs. Suppose you lose; consider it a fun ride ticket. That simple, clean approach becomes a shield and a strong method to keep gambling in the enjoyment zone and not a sticky web where you're continually chasing that spectacular win.

Many gamblers fail to do that because their minds are always focused on how to continue playing and believe that soon it will produce better results when in reality the opposite is true.
That's why it would be better not only to set our budget for gambling but also the time we can spend gambling so that any results when the budget and time set have been met will immediately stop and return to playing at another time.
However, sometimes gamblers find it very difficult to control their curiosity and that is what causes them to continue playing even though their hearts and minds have told them to stop because they see the results that are not so good that day, and will only stop when the money in the casino account runs out, I often experience this.

The point is to limit your budget so we have an alarm to stop gambling, if we don't limit it, it's the same as making us lose even more, but if you think about it, why do you have to win, isn't gambling actually supposed to be enjoyed, well, even though the goal of winning is always fun, it has The goal of winning is not something that should be pursued because it will continue to make us obsessed with continuing to play to get it.

Never be obsessed with winning, enjoying gambling games is the most correct way with a healthy mindset where you should gamble just for entertainment, think of winning as a bonus that we can get when playing and losing, let's just say that we pay for every game we play. makes us feel happy, just enjoy the game and limit all budgets so we can be more relaxed about when to gamble and when to stop gambling. Don't force yourself to keep playing, there is still time tomorrow to play again and that is the right choice when your budget has run out. 

Feeling excited on each result shown is somehow can make us decide to extend our game time that's why sometimes its hard to quit especially if we enjoy to much playing on those games we currently played. That's why sometimes its hard for us to take some win after the end of the game since we always caught up on heavy losses for deciding to stay long on gambling and its late for us to realize that we did a wrong decision since instead we win the casino got recover all of it then left of nothing. That's why maybe next time before deciding to extend or deposit for more we should think about if its still right for us to continue since sometimes we are doing some risky decision because we want to win more or recover those we lose on certain times, that's why I realize that its better to think smart and quit when we are still in good shape since its stressful to quit when we already lose everything.

That is the enemy of most gamblers so you are not alone.When you start gambling and you are in the beginning stages of it you have enough bankroll to not care much but as you progress your session you realize that this is a losing session,no game seems to be paying and it is exactly here where it is not difficult but extremely difficult to quit and call it a day.This is a massive error most of us make and it is exactly here that when we continue to keep playing under these circumstances chances are high that we will lose it all and risk to deposit more to lose it too chasing our loses.Stop at such point,it is vital.

You were lucky that even after gambling for multiple days, you were still at a breakeven point even though you said you didn't get any good winning streaks. If I was gambling for multiple days and still couldn't win or lose much, I would obviously just take a break, I do that even if I haven't played for a full day but just because I have already sensed that my luck isn't working because if it was, I would have already gotten something on top, so even if I have lost some money, I will stop right there.

Forcing yourself to gamble more should never be an option because that will simply just make you lose in the long run and it wouldn't do any good. A gambler might think that they might hit a big win anytime soon but that isn't necessary and if you haven't been hitting that for so long, what's the guarantee that you will after that point?

Taking a short break is indeed the best advice for someone who is starting to feel stressed after playing gambling for a while and not getting any wins at all. Instead of experiencing more losses, they should be able to stop, rest, and reduce the tension they get from gambling.

We also still have plenty of time to gamble another day and there is no need to rush to continue playing because that could trigger our emotions to rise again. When that happens, maybe we won't be able to control ourselves and cause us to experience more losses.
We must monitor what happens to us so that it is not too late to deal with it and we can still think clearly. But if we only follow our passions, we will experience more loss.

As many others already stated gambling should stay as fun way of trying to make money. If you are hurting your health over long term gambling obviously you should be able to pause yourself. Pretty sure honest casinos would also prefer healthy customers because that's how they also make more customers. If you keep losing and hurting your wallet, its also good to pause to drink water, eat good food, take a good sleep and return back to gambling after with clear mind.

that is a smart one mate, this will never lead you to lose more and continuously ,
there are many ways to prevent being a loser but that mostly cannot bring you enjoyable moment.
so having a specific amount limit to spend is much better than controlling just yourself.
because the more we losses is the more eager we wanted to come and play.
why not bring only the amount you can lose and after then best to go home.
but also we must put a winning limit so when this is attain we can also stand the table and go home
that is  a perfect way to gamble.

Absolutely true. When the outcomes are no longer in our favor, and we start feeling stressed, it's wise to take a break and assess the mistakes we've made. Our ultimate goal is to win, and we can't rush it. Gambling sites aren't going anywhere; we can always return to them later. What's crucial is that we are fully prepared, both mentally and emotionally. Lastly, we need to take measures to prevent addiction because that can lead to a disastrous situation. It's a serious disease that's difficult to cure.

This is the most simple tactic that a person can use in order to limit the amount of money they can lose when gambling, but surprisingly it is rarely used as many gamblers like to feel the adrenaline of betting without any sort of limit in place, and having such a safety net in place goes against their desires, but this is a dangerous way to gamble as a gambler only needs to lose their control once in order to accumulate losses which are too high for them.

After all, gaming is gambling. Furthermore, there are winners and losers in every game. Congratulations to your friend who won 280 USD. However, he didn't leave, did he? That is his fault and not the casino's. Casinos are companies, and like all businesses, their goal is to turn a profit. Their purpose is not to distribute free money. Gains are intended to keep you interested and engaged. It's a tactic, and it functions

You've got to be smart. It is imperative to have a plan if you intend to bet. Knowing when to give up is essential. The thrill and excitement are more important than the money. However, you must be intelligent. You must have everything ready. It's important to keep in mind that the home always has the advantage. Invariably. Thus, have fun and relish the moment, but always, always play properly. Furthermore, you should never, ever try to recover your losses. That's how they get you. That's how they win

You have done the right thing by remembering your bad experiences so that you can control yourself well and stop gambling. Indeed, we have to be able to rest first after playing gambling for a while so that we can keep control of ourselves and not gamble too much. Cooling down is the best way to reset everything so we don't encounter more serious problems.

I'm glad to see that you already have limits on gambling so that later, you can immediately stop gambling before things get worse. I think you can also take time off for the next few days to further help you calm down after experiencing things in gambling. You have done what you have to do when playing gambling

In gambling satisfaction is not guaranteed. If we are to follow your advice it's very true. At some point, he won 280 usd. Is it not a trick to keep him? because if he didn't win such amount, his fun will be pruned. With that win he spent more time gambling, until he lost all. After wagering about 350 usd, he got 280usd in return, he's not profiting. Hence, he needs to profit, and it looks as if it'll be possible, with such win. And if he didn't win such an amount he may not have gambled more. The house rewarded him more time, by giving him a win. Even the house gamble with the wins. Although, almost impossible that the gambler will leave after winning that amount. It's like a friction that pushes the player to continue staking more of the money. But, if he had left, the casino will be on a short of 280 usd and the player short of 70usd there about. Which is a fair play. Considering the fun from the game, the gambler shouldn't be sad for not winning. It's also important to watch out for the house, as gamblers. Because they need money to settle bills. Therefore, a player have to be prepared before gambling money. Or he'll be pinned to play all his funds chasing losses. When a person is not winning, they'll need to re strategize. The purpose of it is that, losing continuously makes the game bored. As a game that doesn't require much knowledge to play, they should be a moment when the player wins. If the player keeps losing then the casino, is a hard to win casino. Despite the notion on casinos getting back the whole money, like in the above example. Still, players are meant to be entertained with those time intervaled wins. So that they'll feel lucky and happy, and come back to play more. To some players, any money wagered into gambling will be exhausted, depending on their personal reasons. While others find way of making extra profits, that can be used to gamble next time. Thereby using their profits to fund gambling, and saving up their other business income. It could be detrimental to the person's financial growth, spending money meant for their enterprise on gambling. Big winners, should always channel the money into good use. They can be used to gamble, while saving up our other sources.

If you’re enjoying yourself and you have the time there isn’t much of a downside in playing more so long as you aren’t losing money that makes a difference to you. If that’s the case, you could always bet lower amounts so that you can still get the enjoyment of playing without feeling like you did something wrong if you lose a lot.
