I lost some money last year and the break I decided to take is for the whole year. Wink

I have chosen that I will not participate in any form of gambling since then because I realized that there are patterns that gambling creates that all gamblers follow. When you lose your money, the next thing you’re trying to recover it, then you lose more. And if you win, you become greedy by wanting more. So I just choose to stay clear.

How do you guys manage to take a break in gambling? I’m not asking for advice but rather I’m just interested to know what you are doing on your own or if you really do a break.

I recently decided to take a break since I want to hold my crypto due to its increasing value and I don’t to spend it while it’s giving me passive profit. I just claiming bonus now or anything that is free to still enjoy gambling without risking my money.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?

Though I'm not a gambler but I've been around people that gambles and I can tell that it's really difficult for them to take a break because they feel that they may miss their chances of winning if they go on a break. The only people that can be able to take a break or rather quit gambling is people that are new into it and tried their luck in other to win but the winning didn't come as expected as they can easily lose interest and decides to give it some time before they try again.

Yes but the problem is that they will never know whether if they do not stop in the sense of continuing to gamble whether they can win or even lose again? this is what must be made a question for consideration, because gambling has absolutely no certainty whatsoever to be able to get a win, all of that is unknown, I understand that gambling provides a chance to win for all gamblers but that opportunity will only be able to happen (materialize) if you are really in a lucky situation because overall only luck can lead you to victory.

One of the other reasons why there are some gamblers who find it difficult to quit is because they are too focused on winning which is basically as I said above that anyone can never know when they can win, and conversely gamblers who can quit are those who are not too focused on winning and also who have a proper understanding that gambling is always about winning and losing, in the sense that they are worried that if they continue their gambling sessions or there are no limits imposed on their gambling they are worried that they will lose a larger amount of money.

I can't count how many times I have taken some time off gambling, it's easier to do if you have important things going on in your family, as a family man you have to give time to your kids and spend time with them, playing in a garden is enough to eat up your free time.

Taking a break is necessary and helpful too, when you engage in something too many times you feel bored and tired of it, so mixing that free time with something else is not a bad plan at all.

I spend some of my free times with family, movies, video games and holidays, gambling is not a must for me, but there are times that I feel the thirst of gambling, and even though I know that I will likely throw some money away, but it's not a problem for me, because I risk what I can accept to lose.

To me for someone that has been gambling for long to just take a stand and decided to take a break means that he has been hit very hard by his recent losses or he feels like he is now getting addicted, but too me I don't gambles frequently that much, but for me to take a stand that I wouldn't gambler again or taking a break simply means one thing, that my losses have gotten to my head, and I just want to clear my head before I think of such thing again. So it's all depends on the individual involved.
But If scenario of such happened to an addictive gambler, he would not even consider taking a break or even stopping because to him, it's part of his life, and it's one of the things he live for, this is one of the reasons why being a gambling addict is very bad, because you will no longer think right due to its addiction.

People who find it way to take a break from gambling are not so into gambling, they are the type that do gambling for fun sake only, they choose days to gamble and they easily day no when they don't feel like.

Some people don't rely on gambling for source of income, and this is a fact, if you can't take break from gambling you are someone who have some expectations from gambling, it doesn't make you an addict yet but it could later.

Too much of gambling exposure makes one a gaming addict, try taking a break, you can't? Then you expect to accomplish some things using gambling, and this my friend, is not a good way to become a gambler, it's about taking control and be the boss.

If you decide to stop gambling then I think it's better because most of the time you will lose money here. If you don't want to lose your money then you must have a plan where you can hold and manage like gambling. But if you take the advice of trading then it will also be risky so you should avoid gambling and trading it will keep you risk free. If you invest and hold for long term it will always be good for you and you will get more profit from it. Paradigm to stop gambling is not to lose money but to invest with the intention of increasing money in the future. So avoid gambling and invest your money in this way you will be risk free and not lose your money.

Gambling has no break. what really happens is that when people often lost they take a break, but when there is more frequent wining, they continue playing. But there are also some set of people who only play gamble based of how there income is generated. For example some people whom receive payment on weekly basis always make provision for money to play gamble for the week and if it's exhausted they'll wait till the upper week before playing another one. While some receive payment monthly. And if they receive monthly salary they mark out fund for gambling for the month. Though they might not play every day but they play more frequently. While some other people are addicted to playing with even %80 of their salary, and go home with%20 with aggression. So for me I Play my gamble with a program of lost cut set. Meaning if I program a game to play and my fund for gamble is gone due to frequent lost, I stop playing.

Most gamblers will have difficulty stopping when they have had a big win or series of losses, they have their own ambitions in every situation that occurs in gambling.
But everything will be different for gamblers who have the right goals and approach in gambling because for gamblers like this and with the added responsibility they can determine the right time to start and stop.

The more efficient thing IMO is to find and focus on others hobbies. If you like those new hobbies you will very quickly stop thinking and missing gambling

Totally in agreement with this one, having other stuff to do is a really good distraction for when you want to effectively take a break from gambling, that way you're thinking of the hobby most of the time and your not itching to spin another dice. For me though, I was able to do it just right by just not being too obsessed or attached to gambling, I always check on myself whenever I get frustrated with the losses and sometimes I'm able to quit or take a break but it's not always the case, maybe if I try to find another hobby, I'd be able to take a break much better but gambling is my only hobby.

This is good advice, when gambler has new hobby and really enjoys it, they will be able to stop gambling at any time and will do some of the hobbies they enjoy.
But this is difficult because gamblers who are truly addicted will always only choose gambling as their most favorite activity, even when they are introduced to or invited to other hobby activities, they will never want to do it.

That's what we have to do if we really want to stop gambling by diverting our attention by doing other things. Even if there is still a little thought and desire to return to gambling, it will not last because we are doing other things and if we add other activities throughout the day, we have no intention of returning to gambling. This distraction is very necessary to prevent us from returning to gambling so that we can stop gambling for a moment. And even though we feel able to control ourselves when gambling, there is no harm in deciding to take a break from gambling. It can refresh our minds from the desire to gamble and can also prevent us from losing what might occur in gambling. We can also save the money we have so that it will not only be used for gambling.

In my experience when I do gamble a lot there are for sure a lot of things that you can do to take a break from gambling unless you're a gambling addict its actually really simple, I just put my focus on other things, what I do is put my effort on learning other things since I wanted to be better something like 3D modeling, that is what I do and continue to learn that, I get rid of gambling pretty easy when you actually do some projects and then the result was kind great and you're satisfied with it you kinda want to continue learning it and just practice more eating a lot of your time.

It was actually simple right just to do other things something that you already wanted to do, you could easily divert your attention to gambling for sure, but much better if you're going to do things like exercise, sports, or learning new skills instead of just like watching movies, or playing games because maybe that new skills can be your assets that you can use in order to earn.

I stop gambling when I don't have money hehe Grin

I gamble when I'm in a good mood and want to gamble but if I'm not in a good mood and I'm lazy or bored I don't gamble and do other activities like going out with friends or my partner, although sometimes Gambling can be used as a medium for entertainment when I'm bored, but when I have to lose money I become annoyed, therefore it's better for me to stop gambling for a while and gamble when I have more money and don't use the money for anything.

Even so, I still gamble occasionally and don't stop for a long time because after all I still don't want to miss out on sports betting, but I bet on the big leagues that are played at the weekend which makes me feel entertained when I watch my favorite club performed and bet on it they eliminate the boredom that is inside me.

Knowing that there is a need to take a break, and also reflect on your game decisions and whatever tends to control your games actions so having such ability to take that break will be a big addition to help save your balance from the total drain so taking that break becomes more essential to all player who wants to maintain a stable balance.
The big deal is when you can not control your gambling urge, or even take a break, when the loses become more excessive.

That's exactly it. Knowing when to stop is the beginning of everything. I understand it's complicated, but criticizing yourself always helps. Get help from people too. But the most important thing is to exercise moderation when there is a problem.

You can start doing moderation in gambling if you learn how to control yourself. People get addicted because of lack of control, and that is the problem that has to be solve. Taking a break is important, because when you are too focus on what you are doing, you won't be able to reflect and might not notice that you aren't doing well already. Even pro take a break sometimes, everyone needs to breath, reassess the strategy and ourselves (the most important), and the come back with discipline, I mean full discipline.

Taking a break for awhile is not a big deal cause I don't gamble always and besides I don't take gambling so serious, I only bet when I have the money for bet but if there's no spare funds, I will wait for awhile.
Sometimes when I see people talking about their addict lifestyle and they can't resist the act for a day I will be surprised. The reason why people like this still find it difficult to take a break or quit is because they stayed too long with the act like spending more time to gamble and it'll take time for such person to quit

Yes, this is a good action because someone who doesn't attach much importance to gambling can stop at any time and not worry about getting addicted, especially if you experience continuous losses, it's better to stop temporarily so that the losses aren't too big and don't try to chase losses that have already been made you experience.
Someone who is addicted cannot stop easily because they always spend more time gambling and when they lose, instead of thinking about stopping for a moment, they actually increase their bets in order to restore their condition to normal.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?

Taking a short break from gambling is really necessary so that you can continue to evaluate your gambling results and rearrange your strategy. I am someone who rarely gambles, so I gamble when I have extra money after all my needs are met including crypto dca.

So, if you ask when will I stop gambling? When I don't have extra money, I'm not the type of gambler who is too eager to gamble constantly. If I have more time and money then I gamble, if I don't then I stop gambling, stopping for a while is not stopping completely. because so far I can still control my gambling and it doesn't have a bad impact on me. But I also often take advantage of claiming bonuses and looking for free ones to get free bets or something like that.

Once they got attached then it will be difficult to take a break or quit completely as they always wanted to feel that enjoyment, an addicted gambler forget about any limitation, good thing that you can still control yourself not to exceed from what you are doing now, the moment that you exceed will increase your apetite and it will push you to play longer.

And with that, it will require you also to spend more money, better to keep the enjoyment and never to please any greed inside you to prevent getting addicted.

Taking a break in gambling is a good quality of responsible gambling. I don't miss out on gambling vacations especially on period of severe fatigue and tiredness. It helps in revitalizing the gambler to think better on his next moves. When on this break, I personally don't bother about taking a visit to the casino site. Players who find it difficult as you said may not have participated in such practices during their early gambling days. Avoiding a break also contributed to their compulsive gambling conditions. It'll also be hard to correct, since they are not familiar with such behaviors. However, the lifestyle of an addict doesn't include a break. Taking a break means he's not addicted anymore. Or in the verge of correcting his gambling addiction. However, when a person decides to overwork himself gambling each moment of the day, he'll definitely face difficulty in gambling.
