Topic: Don’t push playing more - page 7. (Read 853 times)

Setting a daily or weekly bet limit is always recommended. If you lose them all, then never consider to bet more and spend more so you can recover your losses. A loss will stay a loss in gambling and you will continue to lose more if you never decide to take a break from betting. That is why if you are in the break-even position, do not push through with gambling. It’s always safe to stay at break while you are on the point of gaining your confidence again so you can refresh your gambling experience.

Many of the times we become too engrossed in the game that we try too hard and bet or gamble more than necessary because of perhaps frustration or in a bid to replicate a winning streak.
I wouldn't blame anyone who has come to this point, becti too have been there and dine that and have learned my lessons from having an empty wallet in the end.
What I often do to combat this is to set a maximum tryout after I notice a winning streak or after I noticed it isn't my lucky day.

As a gambler, we should expects losses and profits to hits us because it's not easy to grab excellent chances, when found one opportunity, we should make sure we utilized it very well. Some days, we smile and enjoyed gambling activities because we have earned enormous amounts, while some days, we tend to wear sad faces and becomes more frustrated if we continue to place wager on games. Talking about clearing our head, I personally heads up to play video games and probably take a walk to recreational centers which serves as my favorite outing

The psychological factor says that the gambler will target the next big win after the small win made by the gambler.If the gambler had won 100 dollars from the gambling,the next target to the gambler will be the 500 dollars.So if that success,he will target the 1k dollars from the gambling.At the end the gambler consider the gambling as the earning tool in the regular basis.Not the 300 dollar as the first win to the gambler,even if he had won the 50 dollars from the gambling.This is the enough one for the gambler to target the high again and again till he get satisfied with the win from the gambling.The gambler mostly satisfy if the winning money above 5-6k dollars.

One thing that I'm learnt about gambling is never to chase my losses, if not I'll be inflicting more pains on myself. Whenever I'm on a losing streak, I learn to accept it in good fate because some days are not meant to be mine. I'll stop gambling for the moment or for the day, switch of my laptop and go for a walk, hang out with friends and clear your head. But if I try to chase my losses at that current state, I'll only end up causing more harm to myself than good and there's no way I'll be able to recover the lost funds.

As a gambler you should know when to take a break, that's what makes you a professional gambler. gambling is all about risk-taking it is something you should do for leisure, something you do when you're free. it is not something you should be doing on a stretch like almost every day. Gambling is addictive, so you need to wash yourself if you are not going past the red lines, because it can mess with your mental health, so always check and balance yourself.

Been there, tried all the ways I can think of to actually prevent a break even cause it's a little frustrating especially if you've invested long hours on your gambling session only to end up with a pretty much back to square one bankroll, but I found that the only solution to this problem is actually not playing at all. When you play you subject yourself to even more chances for losses which is more likely to happen than you actually getting the chance to win more so you can remove that breakeven.

I suggest you look into gambling for entertainment as well. When you're gambling for fun, these trivial things won't matter to you anymore cause at the end of the day what you're after is getting the most enjoyment out of your gamblnig experience.

If you are already experiencing a long losing streak, then for me it’s best to take a break from your gambling habit. Because when you decide to change games or change casinos, you are not freeing yourself from another losses but instead, you are attracting more losses in the process the fact that you still spend time to gamble. Know that you won’t limit your losses in gambling unless you decide to stop from gambling even for a while. For me, that is actually good for you to rest and unwind yourself so you can gamble again with a more positive and fresh mindset on gambling.

It does looks like most of the gamblers has a reacted the other way around instead of taking a break. With such a losing streak, we are most probably going to be upset of that outcome, thus causing you to become desperate and frustrated that instead of taking a break you will continue gambling not only to chase that losses, but also to make yourself feeling better when you are able to win those money back. Eventually, most of the gamblers will end up empty pocket and that leaves them no choice but to call it a day lol.
It may sound easy for us to say that we need to take a break after a losing streak, but it is actually not for a person who is upset and frustrated lol.

Last week I had a similar experience, which made me open a topic about it and see others opinion about a feature that could turn things back ( bad surely it’s not possible). I was trying to understand the reasons behind the changes in my favorite slot game. While I used to experience both wins and losses in typical gambling that we all know how it is. I recently found myself on an a vey bad losing streak. What's import to remember always is that gambling and casino mechanisms involves more chances of losing than winning. So the best option to cut your losses is to take a break and avoid emotionally chasing those losses because doing so will only make things worse or probably lead to dumb decisions that can't be undone.

I prefer to stick with one main casino so I can activate the self exclusion option when I feel like I'm gambling too much and don’t run to another casino. Taking a break for a month or so can help regain control and make me explore other activities for enjoyment until things back to normal.

This is a big psychological trick that casinos and bookmakers try to push to the max. Take a look at any casino for example and you'll find each game has a separate "side" jackpot or game going on, which allows you to earn independent powerups that are only applicable to that particular game. The idea being, they can keep teasing more money out of you as you chase the "powerup bar" until it unlocks the side game. That side game is meaningless if you've spent way over the odds to achieve it and they can unlock 80% of it while costing you huge amounts to reach the other 20% needed. If you ever find yourself being sucked into this sort of chasing, then you should take a break and re-evaluate your style of play.

Exactly. When you are gambling and you are experiencing results like that, then it’s time to think wisely if you want to continue gambling or just take a break. But for me, it’s the best decision to stop for a bit so you can be relieved from the emotional stress that resulted from pushing more in gambling. Otherwise, if you keep on chasing your losses, you will be mentally and emotionally broken that will lead you to ruin your future with gambling.

A very normal human behavior or instinct on which you would really be pursuing more on the time that you do see those kind of  chances for you to make more money or profit on the time that you would deciding to play even more on which we know that it is really that something a very normal approach. People would usually stop on the time that they would really be experiencing unfortunate events or something into those situations that they would really be on unfortunate condition on which its not really that something new anymore. Gamblers do usually ending up like this and if you arent really that good on controlling yourself then most likely you would really be ending up with this kind of situation on which you would really be that devastated with gambling.

Pushing yourself desperately wouldnt really be doing good anything for you on which it would really be that just right that you should be having the right control towards your
gambling activity and the money that you are spending because if not then you wont really be that so dumb on not to know on what are the probable
things that could happen in the end of the line.

Without greed, it’s easy to limit your exposure in gambling and just take a break when it’s really needed. When you are seeing that your losses have outnumbered your profits, and it’s a big pressure on your part to stay at profits, then probably the best thing to do is to take a break from gambling, and just come back again when you feel better about your losses. However, a gambler with high greed can never easily leave gambling just like that. If it means losing a lot more just to realize that gambling is not fit for him, then so be it just to save him for future huge losses.

I would not say never. Just the probability of doing so is very very low and that it is better, at that point of your gambling experience, to stop betting and take your losses as they are. I personally never go into a bet without first taking a look at my daily betting limit (which I hold myself to very strictly). If my daily betting limit is reached then no more betting, no matter what happens.

I really recommend setting a daily bet limit for yourself. One that you cannot change once you agree upon it!

However, the facts say otherwise that most people who get involved in gambling, after getting a win, they always want to get a win that is bigger than what they previously got. This is what makes a person feel at home in gambling because they continue to chase wins and profits.

And here is a piece of the story about an incident that happened to a friend of mine in the world of gambling, where for the first time he made a fairly large deposit which, if converted into USD, was around 300 dollars and after that he played slot gambling for hours. and ended in a loss and the balance he had on the gambling site ran out without any remainder. However, because his curiosity continued to envelop him, he made another deposit, but the amount was smaller than before, namely 50 US Dollars, and in the second game, he almost managed to fully recover the losses he experienced previously because he got a win because he won a relatively large amount, namely 280 US Dollars, but because curiosity continued to surround him and he thought that luck was on his side, he finally decided to continue the game so that he could return the capital he previously spent in full and get more profits. And at the end of the story it seems that good luck was not on his side as he had to lose everything including the victory he got.

Taking a break is also emotional and that is why must addicts don't take a break. The reason is that they feel that moment they took a break and don't play, they feel they would make profit or hit their jackpot at that time and so it is be herculean for them to decide to do that. But there is benefit in taking a break because it gives you a rejuvenated version, strength and ideas from the corrections of your mistakes. Your mindset also changes which can improve on your gambling strategy and knowledge.

Put up into your mind that gambling wasnt really that created for the sole purpose on making profit or money but rather it is really just that for entertainment but its not really that shocking anymore that majority of gamblers would really be having that kind of mindset on the time that they would play on which this is really that something a normal driving force for them to play even more and its not something that new anymore considering that majority of gamblers would really be pushing themselves to play more. If you are that someone who does have  that good control towards their gambling activity then it wont really be that much of an issue for you to completely stop on what you are doing specially if you have notice that you are not already enjoying anymore and the most is that you arent that making profits or you are seeing that great disadvantage.

There are really moments in my gambling moments or time on which i have noticed that im not really that moving forward and the results or outcome turns out to be the same and keeps repeating on the same
time on which it would really be making some thoughts that what if you should be calling it a day or simply stop midway and turn your back on what you are doing.
This is actually that does depend on a certain individual yet not all would really be having those kind of sensible actions that do made up right away but instead they would be waiting for those outcome
first before they would completely stop.

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time in your gambling sessions.  It is normal to have more ration on losses than winnings.  I think what matters here is planning your session days ahead, and allocate funds for each session so no matter what the result of your gambling activities is, it is still in the boundaries of not affecting your mental and financial state.

I agree that it is a good thing to pause for a while if we a feeling frustrated due to losses, since keeping up with the gambling activities will only trigger us to be reckless and somehow be in state of revengeful gambling betting where we bet bigger amount to recover our funds. It is a good thing if we win but will be devastating if we lose.

Taking a break is needed for most of the gamblers who can't stop and only see that type of ratio as you've got OP. Sometimes we're too pushy to ourselves thinking that all of those losses can be taken back in less than a day. You can call it quits when it seems not moving at all and you're just having a bad day looking at your stats. And having a breakeven moment still seems to be not working at all because the satisfaction isn't there. What you want to happen is to do more and win more but you can't just do that because the results vary.

Or whenever you are ready and think that you can handle the heat as that's giving you the decision-making in a better manner. Unlike before when you don't stop, don't take a rest or break, that's giving you more pressure instead of lighter thinking about whether to proceed or not. Sometimes all it takes is to have a rest for your mind, body, and soul when it seems the results are no longer in line with the plans that you want to have.
