Topic: Taking a break from gambling - page 6. (Read 1223 times)
yes you should take a break from gambling if you feel not to play consistently anymore or just temporarily.
I say you don't take break or something, instead of that just stay from gambling. Moreover gambling is not meant to make money only you will be loose the funds from your wallets.
Nothing there in gambling field is stable. So not even for consideration you should not go with the gambling investment.
Well if the OP just wants to have a break, why not? I think the critical responsibility of the person is to be strict with funds and accept losses whenever it occurred. It's not going to be fun if you become emotional, you should just be smart with your funds and approach a strategy. That's what I do most of the time. Nothing there in gambling field is stable. So not even for consideration you should not go with the gambling investment.
If someone told you he wants to take a break, that means he will be having a rest for some time. And that also means that he will be coming back after that rest and I don't think that it will only bring a small change and in the long run, no change at all. I guess for people who has realize that they are tired of gambling every single day or week, and think they need a break better make it your first step to take away yourself from gambling. That that chance since that might be a one time chance you will get from exiting the gambling world.
I don't agree with this, I do think that taking a break is a good way to prevent yourself from taking it too far.
It also does make a change in my opinion, because it gives me a different perspective on gambling, which will probably last if I decide to gamble again.
As I've said before ITT, I will most likely gamble again after a couple of months or so and I don't think that's going to be a bad decision.
If I could easily take a break now, I will also be able to do that the next time. Better would be to just prevent myself from having to take a break at all, if I only gamble very sporadically in the future.
So long as people bank the profits I dont see that guy especially who held BTC long term could have done so badly. Surely he saw the benefits that BTC gave back to enabling gambling access across regions with less interference then normal.
It is a problem when people gamble into losses and dont stop or worse borrow money to gamble. At that point I would agree its best to consider it a negative and stop. A change is as good as holiday, sometimes just ceasing the regular loss could be considered a win. Many people feel they have to continue to win the money back, it could also be argued that time will cure that loss also and maybe best to stop as the simplest least harmful route overall. Good luck with taking your positive step

LOL No, I was mistaken, it's harder than I thought and I've fallen off the wagon
(J/K) Being a 'veteran' doesn't have anything to do with this though. I've met a guy on a gambling website once who was placing bets of like 5 BTC at a time, sometimes winning, sometimes losing.
He mentioned in chat that he was a very early adopter and has thousands of Bitcoins and now he was just gambling each and every day.
He said that Bitcoin was the worst thing that ever happened to him, because he started using dice sites, without ever having gambled before.
Sometimes I really wonder what happened to that guy...
Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.
Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.
For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Quitting was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.
Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy
Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

It's all up the people who really want to take a break from any kind of gambling. People must know what is the best for them to break a leg and to stop gaming gambling. They should really know how and when to stop wasting their time and money for nothing. Take a break from gambling is the best way to learn something in life.

Saturation caused by not getting positive results after trying several times can make people leave gambling, either temporarily or permanently. If in bored condition but we still force ourselves to gamble to chase the loss that we suffer, usually we will tend to violate our own rules and the results will certainly be very disappointing. Take a break will be the best thing to do in such cases.

Good luck to your decision and I hope you won't be the same as others said before but later on after a month or two they come back in action.
Having another hobby which will make you put your attention and time there would solve it. Well my story, I just got my employment that really killed my time and only got few to no more time in gambling.
Apparently, from the way he has placed gambling, I am sure even if he decides to come back to gambling, it is not like he still won’t be able to control himself. What he has done basically is to be in control, and that can only happen when you have the right mindset towards gambling and this is totally different when it comes to those who are addicted. People with the wrong mindset of trying to get rich from gambling and usually the ones that will not even find it easy at all to be making decisions like this.Having another hobby which will make you put your attention and time there would solve it.

Yeah I think it's entirely possible that I just don't gamble again, I mean I'm currently having more fun doing other stuff.
I'd also like to think I'm in control of myself, if I weren't this would have probably been a lot harder.
The thing is, if I hadn't stopped myself when I did, it would've been entirely possible that I would have gotten addicted.
Thats trading and not gambling.
Its speculation I guess which bares similarities to gambling to some extent. In my country there is trading that is classed under the gambling laws which means all wins are tax free, which is nice. Theres definitely a convergence between the two areas I think, right this moment BTC has been holding the same area for a while though so not so much of a gamble.

Why take a break? It's easier not to gamble at all there are so many interesting things in the world!
You are totally correct but for those who have gambled so much that they cannot live without it, for them its become an addiction and wont be over soon by just staying away from it. Its tough for them to get a grip over themselves and they would rather spend some time gambling than do something else. They do need rehabilitation and not scolding. Its possible to completely get rid of your addiction but the addict must be determined enough for that.
I too take breaks often, since I could not master how to make small profits over time. Lately I've been playing with tiny amounts, since I gave up growing capital with gambling.
I wonder how much of a bluff you are.Quote
Holding currency over time also satisfies my gambling a little bit when the price jumps up.

Gamblers who found themselves having the urge to gamble constantly could always shift some of their time into other activities, they could always play computer games or maybe arrange to meet up with some friends for a gathering, after reading OP story, he is a very good example who proves that it is actually not extremely hard to make an effort in order to reduce the amount of time spent on gambling.
Right.It's just a matter of self-discipline.If you know how to set limits for yourself and does not let your emotions carried you out,then you will easily come out from gambling.It's good to gamble but making you addicted with it is already a wrong decision.

You're not really that addicted like others and that's a sure thing that we can confirm because you are able to quit easily. And you are taking a break so it means you are just on hiatus or this is now for real?
I would say, if you take the break you will be able to save your money. If you continuously play on any gambling site finally there is nothing in your wallet for sure. If you won at any time. Just leave the gambling completely stay with the other form of investments.
If you have addicted on the gambling investment also make yourself much comfortable before you go to invest on any site. This may vanish you finally.
But the question is, would you able to stop completely when you experience winning? For some people they can but most of the time lots of gamblers will definitely fail to stop themselves.If we are really sensible on our own actions we can really avoid things as we want just like on gambling if you are already aware that you are spending already too much money with such discipline and self control you can really stop on the spot and you do let yourself to get busy on other things and having a break wont just save you from addiction but also saving you up money which can possibly be used on other useful things. If you have addicted on the gambling investment also make yourself much comfortable before you go to invest on any site. This may vanish you finally.
