True, if the bet made is a single bet, I think the op is too ready for a week, but if it is a multi bet then I would consider this a very reasonable thing because we have to guess all the matches correctly, and if one fails then we will feel the defeat.
However, if you feel troubled, then it is better to stop for a while. I think a week without betting is a good thing. Because if this continues to happen, we are worried that we will become emotional and finally continue to chase the victory that we never get. I am the same, I usually take a break from gambling if I feel that everything is not good for me.

A break definitely won't make things worse, gambling won't go away, and taking a break and thinking it over will be the right decision. There are no guarantees that the results will be better after this, but there will be time to calm down and not make mistakes in emotions. I saw someone advise to continue playing further because a break won't do anything, maybe there is logic in this too, but I still tend to think that without a break you can make more mistakes.

And its needed gambling is just there and we can get back anytime we want. Since pushing our selves to gamble while we are in heavy stress due to those losing streak we encounter will just make us obsessed to much to hit our big wins. Then this is bad feelings since provably that we will became so greedy chasing for that situation.

Maybe those continue playing will work for them. But for sure not everyone could handle that and this is the reason why we see a lot of people lose a lot of money then get broke since they didn't quit and take a rest.

So better we should always go on better side to freshen up things and also for making sure that we are fine when deciding back to gamble again.

How do you convince yourself to move on and still enjoy gambling?

Take a break for a while, do other things, when you feel okay you can stake again.

The pleasure in gambling will only be felt when you do it without any element of coercion, pressure and other things that make you feel uncomfortable, meaning I don't have to convince myself to keep going when I'm experiencing a losing streak, but in the sense that it depends on my wishes, simply if for example a losing streak for a week makes me feel uncomfortable with gambling then of course I would prefer to stop and maybe continue it again when my mood is really good and also when I really want to play again.

On the other hand, about what you are experiencing, I think it is quite natural, you are really far from what is called luck, my friend, which makes you have to experience a losing streak for a week, maybe my advice is to try to reduce the amount of your bets and after that try to be more careful when you do the analysis and the last is to improve your responsibility aspect so that the defeat does not interfere too much with your mental and psychological. Wink

Losing for a whole week means that this is a streak of bad luck and quite a long one, so it would be worth stopping and thinking about why this is happening, no one can figure it out better, because you know all the components of this failure.

No streak of bad luck lasts forever, but if the losses are replaced by only a few wins, this will not improve the situation much. Or reducing the bet amount will not help to correct the situation either, but it will allow you to reduce your gambling expenses, at least until everything changes for the better and the winnings begin to prevail over the losses.

Admitting that you have just experienced a losing streak is actually a sign that you are not happy with the situation and that means you are also uncomfortable with the defeat and of course that means that stopping is the right action to take at that time because if you continue, it will only lead you to a much worse situation because I am sure that next you will gamble based on emotion and desperation.

On the other hand, I cannot eliminate the benefits of reducing the amount of the budget when at that time you still choose to continue rather than stop because after all reducing the amount of the budget is included in the category of preventive measures but it is also a good option to do if for example they want to continue, and regardless of whether they want to continue or stop at that time and come back again after a few weeks or months in the future, the point is to accept the losing streak that you have previously experienced, because only then will you not fall into emotion.

Sport betting victory isn't always depending on luck because when you know the sport so well, you'll have a better possibility of picking the right teams to win..you won't be consistent but you'll not lose always when you play single bets instead of combining games. When we combine different games, we reduce our chances of winning and many gamblers are . Don't be a fool when you're losing, as you notice that the game has gone out of luck for you, it's better to stop gambling than to act like you can defeat the system because you can't. Gambling isn't something that shouldn't be considered to be very important that many people joked with it. We play gambling more for dun but there are some set of people that have decided to gamble all their life

This type of gambling or sports betting is indeed different because it does not depend entirely on luck alone because there are skills and knowledge that can increase the chances of winning, but no matter how good the skills and knowledge are, it does not guarantee that we can win.

When you have experienced defeat, what you must do is stop gambling, because the lack of certainty of getting this victory should make us aware not to continue gambling whether it is when you experience defeat or victory.

In sports betting or in other types of gambling we must be able to control ourselves, by experiencing consecutive defeats then we should take a break to calm ourselves by no longer extending the gambling session by making another deposit on the bet, because by extending the gambling session does not guarantee that we will be able to get a win and turn things around because with sports betting I think the win depends on luck.

Losing 5 bets in a row, I make a decision to stop for a while, accepting that I was not lucky this time. But when it talks about a 1-week losing streak, dumb, I was already addicted to not seeing it. For me, it was not the aim of winning but rather the chasing of losses. And I can say that if we continue doing this, the worse it comes, and losing even more.

When you are experiencing losing streak, it is the right decision to stop temporarily. You need to calm your mind, losing streak probably bothers your mind and emotion. Yep, we may be not chasing the wins but losing streak sometimes makes gambling to be not enjoyable/fun anymore. People mostly have 2 goals for gambling (money and entertainment), right? If it always results in losses, I can understand that it is no longer a fun thing.

Quote from: Finestream on January 20, 2025, 11:24:03 AM

I think we should analyze carefully and never let our emotions control us because that will never give us good outcomes rather, it will be negative.

Indeed. Especially for sports betting, we should analyze from some factors. If we have become emotional, there is no way to have a good analysis. Kindly stop it temporarily when we feel difficult to control emotion.

I've been into sports betting for quite a while, but times like these are pretty tough. Even though I've experienced this before, it still keeps coming back like feeling a bit emotional, losing focus, and sometimes gambling more than I should. Anyway, have you had the same experience? How do you convince yourself to move on and still enjoy gambling?

This is a sign of addiction and you need to go on break so that you can control your urge for gambling. You are giving too much time to gambling, and seems you are also chasing your losses which makes you emotional. If you don't have what to do, look for a different game or sport that you can engage yourself with to replace gambling.

Some gamblers may not be addicted to gambling entirely but addicted to other things, such as alcohol and drugs that inspire their thinking faculty to make some kind of decisions when they will not take in their normal state of mind, so when you gamble under the influence of that substance you are going to lose and the way you take those loses may be different from how you take the loses when you are not under those influence, so the ops have to check not only gambling loses and addictions but also a general check on his way of life and how he spends his spare time or most times.

Looks like the time has come for OP to take a pause from betting and concentrate on other things in life.

Persisting on gambling even when losing results in downwards spiral and the losses overflow on other aspects of life. I wish him best luck to come out of this situation and stay away from gambling for a while.

When you are that experiencing consecutive loses on which neither on betting on sports or on casino games then you should really be that considering on having that kind of break or stopping at least on what you are really that doing and its true that you should be that having that pause at least and never tend to chase up your loses because on the moment or time that you do have that kind of urge on trying out chase up loses and thinking up that you can make out that break even on taking those loses back and be able to win up instead, then you will be ending up on having that kind of huge loses into your money and ending up on having those regrets on what you have done.

We do know that losing streaks could really happen anytime because on the moment that you will be testing out on trying to make up some wins after a series of loses, then you dont have idea on how deep that loses will really be trying out to go down even more lower. So it will be that just depending on what are the coins that you will really be taking into and it will be that up to you whether you do continue or having a break at least.

Apart from consecutive defeats I do not believe that there will be a winning streak that can happen, even if luck is on our side it is impossible to get a winning streak because luck usually will not last long only once in a while.

When you have that kind of journey in gambling, maybe it is high time to pause and re-assess your goals in this activity. Because if you will push thru your luck after losing, then it is already chasing losses as you have the target of recovering those losses.
If you will just follow your desire to chase your losses, you will find out soon enough that you are having money trouble and for sure, you may incur debts from others, even availing high interest rates. So need to look out for your priorities before you put yourself in a tight position.

I don't believe in winning streaks and losing streaks in the sense that they happen because the Universe wants them to happen and it wasn't my fault and the consequence of wrong selections. Every time I gamble, I do it as a way to have fun. If in that process I also earn a bit of money, then it's great. If not, I will try to do better next time. There is no rage or disappointment, and I am surely not going to play more than I intended in an attempt to recover my losses.

If you don't have what to do, look for a different game or sport that you can engage yourself with to replace gambling.

When a gambler is desperate about his losses, he will definitely adopt some new strategy to recover those losses. At some point, if the amount of losses is large, he may lose his normal sense of humor. As long as he has money, he will try to recover. If such a situation arises, the gambler may face more losses.

If a gambler finds himself in such a situation, he must take measures to control it. It is better to take a temporary break. When the effect is lost from the mind, he will be able to return to his normal state. What the gambler does to temporarily remove himself from that time is completely his own matter. He will be able to remove the effect of his addiction to some extent by doing anything like leaving the place or traveling.

You don't have to force yourself to keep gambling when you encounter a stubborn losing streak, atleast, I don't do this because it only will leave you angered, frustrated 😤 and disappointed in yourself and seeing yourself as big failure, most especially when you have gambling/sports betting friends and you guys come together every day, and they are talking about all the bets they won on that day and the profit they made, while you yourself have nothing positive to tell them about and boast of in terms of the games and bet you played that day.

What I do when losing streak hit me is take a break, If I gamble or place bets for complete three days without a single winning, I simply take a break from gambling for that entire week and only try again by the next week, this is to avoid gambling taking a negative toll on my self esteem.
And I do this whether or not I was gambling simply to have fun or to make money, for like I will always say, there is actually no fun in constantly and in continuous lose of money to gambling, this completely ruins the fun of the game.

Relaxing by stopping betting for a while is indeed a good way to stabilize our emotions. at least it becomes a barrier for us not to get off the right track.
A losing streak that is obtained for 1 week or more can make the gambler's emotions uncontrolled. Of course, it will affect the decision to make the next bet.
although it will be difficult to forget a losing streak, maybe finding another activity can be a solution to divert our desire to bet again.

It would be good to know what bets you make during this week, if these are single bets on different teams, then this is a bad trend, if this is (as was said above) a parley with a large number of events, then this is a completely natural result. And it is also important how you feel about gambling, is it just entertainment for you, or a way to earn extra money, if the first, then just try to spend less, if the second, then perhaps you should choose a more suitable activity for you.

Losing streaks are normal
This is when OP will have the chance to see if his system is strong enough to survive such drawdowns
Maybe it is, maybe not

I agree with you Cryptmuster
OP has to check his feelings and the importance he gives to gambling too, if it’a just a game or if he takes ir seriously
