It's more like superstitious that when take a moment to stop and continue the next week your luck will change. Maybe the point is to stop the losing streak and a week of break will save you from losing more.

It is not a superstition at all, if you play and you lose, it is good to stop gamble at that time for awhile. Just as you later said, it will help you from losing more because when you can lose more is when you have lost and keeping on playing with frustration.

If you try gambling on blackjack for a while and have those losing steak, why not take a break to bet on sports for a moment and then back to blackjack after? You got your break but you also got a chance to win somewhere else.

That is just you. Some people may like casino while some people may like just sport. Some people may like both. Even if you lose in one, better to stop at all at that time, no matter if it is casino or sport, it does not matter.

At this point what do you think about this gambling strategy I use? Although yours may not be with 5-7 streaks in a week you can also set a number of streaks convenient with you to use. Or is there anyone out there already using this strategy and how beneficial has it being to you?

What I do is that I have money that I set weekly for it, if I lose more than it, I stop gambling that week, no matter what. If I win and lose and the money has not finished, I can continue to gamble if I still see it interesting that week. I only go for gambling budget and just not more than 5% of my week income.

The key would be always be depending on the budget that you had allocated.If you do strictly follow up that rule then you wont really be putting yourself into some serious gambling problem and this is where most

people do miss out.Doesnt matter whether you do play on a specific time or not as long your budget would be no go beyond those limits and that what matter the most.Its really that true that sometimes
we do really need up to have some break or some leisure time but of course we know that in speaking with gambling where money is really involved then we do know or should know the limits.
Losing or winning streak, you should know on when to stop.

Give yourself a break.
This is one measure or strategy I use in my gambling technique to curtail losses upon more losses. Immediately I realize I have made many streaks like about 5 to 7 streaks for the week and I haven't made any win at least out of these numbers of streaks the next action is to give it a break for another new week to come. Believing that it's not my week and there's no need trying more as I will only end up break my bank for nothing at the end.
I do this for a long time now and it works for me by saving me from incurring wasteful losses and also having/saving me some money for the next week to come. Indirectly this strategy also help to moderate my gambling habit and uncontrollable addiction tendency, and it also provide me the chance of having money for any winning opportunity that might come up for the new as I gamble.

The trouble with this theory is reality - people who have a hardcore gambling problem will likely keep finding sources of money to spend and aren't even trying to justify their habit any more. The sensible people are more likely to give themselves a break after they get maybe 3 losses in a row. It's all relative and can even depend on what sort of odds you're gambling against or what sort of money you're spending on it. If you're throwing down ten cents and coming up with 10 choice parlay bets, then it's probably a lot less harm than throwing down $100 on 3 separate bets which are low risk but also fairly low return. I tend to stick with the low ball strategy which keeps things interesting for me - you don't win much but get to take some fun risks.

There's no my week, your week, or somebody else's. Your loss doesn't mean there's some supernatural power stopping you from winning and that power will forget about you when you decide to take a day off. This is a very superstitious way of thinking.

Taking a break is good for your mental health. It gives you time to think, look at things from a different angle. This doesn't mean another game after you come back won't be a loss.

I think there's no connection with winning and losing streaks and breaks you take in gambling. It's like you're trying to break the streak by stopping and coming back later.

Back in the days, when I used to gamble more regularly, I used to do almost the same thing but just in a different way. If I would have a lost streak of about 4 to 5, I would stop betting at that time or day. I would start afresh the next day or later same day and then continue playing until the same thing used to happen.

At first, I used to chase losses, though it used to work sometimes, but at times, it used to become the cause of losing all my money at a time. That is the when I started taking breaks after getting loss streaks which used to save me from getting totally liquidated. Though gambling is purely based on luck but such practices can reduce the chances of losing everything you have at one time and give you extra chances.

We all used to be like that, chasing losses with the mindset of having it back so we tend to bet and more bets and even risking our own savings and pulling out some investment for the sake of us to gamble again. I lose everything and that's the time I learn things in hard way and I didn't stop gambling but I give myself a break and new strategy for myself and disciplined myself as well.

This technique helps to avoid consistent loss, it aids good management of your money, this break time gives you an opportunity to think and rethink on the strategy that you will use to win when ever you resume, note an addict won't see this technique as a good one because they believe in consistency and continuity, a gambler believe that he needs to always gamble everyday in other to win, anyday they fail to gamble they feel that an avenue to win has been lost so this ideology is not vissible for a chronic and committed gambler.

You appear to be describing the technique of taking breaks when gambling, which can be a useful strategy for managing money and avoiding consistent losses. A gambler can reassess their strategies by taking a break, potentially avoiding impulsive or emotional decisions that can lead to losses.its important to recognize that gambling can be a risky activity, and individuals should approach it with caution and awareness of their own behaviors and tendencies. Seeking support from a therapist or addiction specialist can be a helpful step for individuals who are struggling with gambling-related issues.

Stick with what works for you OP, I don't gamble every time to make some money by force, I just use some small amount like 10$ to play some games out of fun and if I lose it all its good, I won't be coming back until another day that I have another 10$ to throw at the game again.

If you are already a professional gambler then you are automatically addicted to gambling, there is no way to take a break, taking a break is meant for those who gamble for the fun of it.

Well that's your perspective and i do have the same way thinking about taking a break meaning you are not really serious about what you stake , unlike when you continuously playing ... until you drown yourself in bankruptcy , that's what most people doing despite having huge winning previously.

Successfull gamble is not for everyone , it fails most of the time so yeah give it a break.

This one is a good strategy to minimize the losses and at the same time control oneself from chasing losses. I also do this kind of thing, taking a break when spins are not in favor to my gambling session. Instead of being frustrated, I just think that it is not my lucky day and will probably get lucky on the next session. I often give myself months of avoiding gambling whenever I feel that I have been playing too much that the game I like don't yield me a profitable session.

For me, if I incur 3-day losing streak, I will stop for a while just to shake the jinx away. I believe that there are lucky weeks and there are not-so-lucky weeks. If I started to see that it is not a lucky week for me, then I would stop betting for that whole week and come back again the next week. It would reset my focus, take me away from bad thoughts about losing and give me time to replenish my funds.

I think your strategy is good. As long as it works for you, stick with it.

I believe luck plays a very big role in gambling. There are some weeks you keep winning until you get surprise. Other weeks might not be that good. But I think if you have a gambling plan, all these issues can be handled easily. It is always important to have a weekly gambling plan and ensure you stick to it. Sometimes you might be tempted to go beyond your weekly limit because you want to recover your loss or you might want to reduce your bets because you are scared of losing. Regardless of the condition following your gambling plans reduce the tendencies of gambling addiction or over-gambling.

They said different strokes for different folks. It works for you and I see the merits inherent in it. If it is not my lucky day, it is not. After the first 3 games, I can tell already, hence, I log out and focus my attention, money and time elsewhere. It doesn't matter if I had set aside a budget for it. I may try again at some other time or the next day or two days after it depends on how I am feeling.

each person has their own instincts when it comes to their games. so yeah, i can understand what you're saying here. we can feel when do we need to stop from our games, and when to get back again. after all it is gambling. there's no concrete rules where and when to play to get your luck. and if you can think of this strategy to lessen your losses, then, you can say to yourself that you are still in control of your gambling habits.

I don't know if most of us here understand the meaning of gambling. From what I understand about gambling, I don't think a professional gambler can give his or herself a break because he/she is addicted to gambling

I think a professional gambler should always know when to take a break, you don't have to be gambling always even when you are losing money and you are claiming you are a professional, if you don't know when to stop then you are not a professional gambler but a addicted gambler. If you don't know when to stop gambling that's when addiction is always stepping in, you can't be winning always, whenever you are losing and you have wasted your budget already, just stop and wait for another day before you can continue gambling again.

If you give yourself a break without working things out while on break you may end up having same experience from the past, pausing is not the solution to me, try discover many things that could help increase your ability and potentials for winning a game when you gambles, develope a strategy, read and learn more about gambling online, ones you work on yourself, there's a high potential that got you pitched from what you learnt while improving yourself.

If I was at your side I will be careful in not to spend/lose the weekly gambling funds at the start of the week and keep on waiting for the next week to resume gambling. I agree that we should give a break to gambling but it is very difficult for me or anyone who gambles regularly to give it a break for a whole week.

From my personal experience, I will get a break from gambling on a particular day if I start to lose unusually and come back later on the next day to try my luck. If we are able to avoid revenge gambling, we are good to go in my opinion.

The strategy is good, as long as it's working for you. It's similar to setting a fixed budget for the week, so once you spend it entirely, you give a break till the next week, when a new budget will be disponible for you.
By respecting these limits you can maintain a healthy gambling activity week after week without major negative consequences over your financial life.
