IIRC the only time I have a serious break on gambling that literally zero activity is when I have eye surgery recently. This break is a must due to my eye condition so I don’t have real break on gambling base on my own will.

I believe the only time I can possibly take a break on gambling naturally is when I don’t have time anymore to do it because I’m busy on important aspect of my life such as business and family which is right now still balance even with gambling.

I guess I would only take a break in gambling if I would go bankrupt as that time I will be not in capacity to gamble anymore. As to my activity in gambling, it doesn't require a lot of time as I can choose and bet on the team I like and wait for the outcome, that's how simple it is. However, if I get addicted then that might change which hopefully it will not happen to me. I mean, I was addicted once but it wasn't too serious. I heard there are people who have severe addiction that they loss their job because of it, that I don't want to happen to me.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
Let me say that you just use that as an excuse to take a break from gambling, it's not so weighty as far as I'm concerned. Still, I congratulate you that you are able to do it. Had it been is some people, they would not be able to achieve that, so kudos to you as it means that you are not addicted to it

But addiction or not, my crypto investment can never be the reason why I will leave/ take a break. The money for investment and the money for gambling are not just the same thing, they do not mix as well in my portfolio, so why should I quit one for another? I even have it more than you even have as I have it in trading, investment and gambling portfolio, needless to say, that my investments are many, and are not in crypto alone. But still, I can't leave one for the other.

This is not to advise you or query your decision. I am only curious about what could have made you leave gambling for such unless you are not the type that really likes it. Especially football betting, I do not think that some people can quit it or take a break from anything, they would rather reduce their wagering to encourage savings and investments. But not to take part of the feelings therein? They will not dare it.

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.

There are a number of ways to take a break from gambling, but in my opinion there is nothing better if you recognize when you need a break and learn to stop on your own.

I do not spend money from the family budget on gambling, and this forum allows you to get money participating in a signature campaign. The payout in such campaigns is once a week, so you just can't play more often, and I don't need to spend my cryptocurrencies on gambling.

You are participating in the same signature campaign, so it is not clear to me why you are asking such a question.

this is what I do when I run out of funds and there is nothing wrong with it. besides, it's a win-win situation, you get to gamble without really risking anything.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
it's usually running out of designated funds for my gambling sessions, I need the money for far more important things, am too busy doing other things or I am just not in the mood.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
For a short break, it's usually because I've got a continuous bad results in gambling. So when I feel like that I'm unlucky for this day or weeks, I tend to take a break from gambling. Having losses will just put my mood down so if I continue gambling, I don't think I'll be able to control my emotions. And when I'm taking a break, I usually divert my attention to other stuff so I wouldn't be able to think about gambling. Most of the time, work or other leisure.

The other thing that would make me take a break in gambling is my priorities. Gambling is just for entertainment and somehow a hope to earn. But if I am short in terms of funds, I prioritize what I need to prioritize. I can't be relying on gambling to earn more money when I know that I don't have enough money to risk. I can only get back to gambling when I have extra money. Tho in general I'm no big gambler.

i have personally been taking a break since I have had to take care of some stuff going on in my life. If I was not I think I would also try not to gambler anything beyond a few dollars per session, because in this entry in the bull market I am also indeed in the expectation to hold as many Satoshis as possible to further harden my position in the market. When I am not gaming or dealing with in real life stuff, I like to draw and play some video games in my spare time, I also like to chat with friends and call them so I can practice my English vocabulary and pronunciation. In my opinion, if anyone reaches a point where they do not further feel pleasure while gambling and becomes a stressing experience, then to me it is a clear signal that person needs to take a very needed rest or break from gambling as a whole, ideally investing that gambling time to have a lovely time with family members.
Anyways, regardless whether anyone of you are taking a break from gambling or actually feeling some of the greed taking over due to a very good luck streak in the casino, remember to be responsible and never gamble more than you are willing to lose to bad luck.  Tongue

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



I rarely gamble and I really only limit the money I use for gambling, usually there are instances where I take a gambling break of 3 weeks to 1 month, those are the times when I focus my time on other things like busy in work and there's a lot of deadlines that needs to submit or when there is something that I want to have and I need to be frugal to save money, that's when I  avoid gambling. Maybe it helped me cope with the days when I took a gambling break because I rarely gamble, but I can't say if I am addicted to gambling.

Yes, that's what should be done, what I mean is that gambling is better made as an activity that is only for leisure time without taking anything seriously, let alone doing it excessively, after all this is nothing more than a probability activity which means profit - profit and there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session, and therefore healthy people make gambling more a place to fill their spare time with the aim of finding pleasure in between boredom.

As you said, it is better to gamble in moderation and focus on other things such as work or adding a part-time job to supplement your income. On the other hand, with your approach and point of view, I can honestly assure you that you are not an addict but you are someone who understands what gambling is so that you can limit all your involvement especially by only putting small amounts when gambling, because on the other hand it is clear that someone who is addicted they cannot ignore the slightest time not to gamble and they always overdo it.

True! It’s the right time to take a break in gambling because the market now is going bullish due to Bitcoin halving. Logically, it’s time to save anything possible of money you have and exchange it to bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Gambling is an activity that takes away money from your pocket once you enter a casino or make a deposit, you are risking to lose that money instead of saving it.
However, taking a break it’s just a way to prevent gambling addiction and enjoy other activities, and the reason why most or let’s say all casinos have self-exclusion to prevent  you from gambling with that casino for a period of time which is usually between one month, six months to permanent. Personally, I think if someone didn’t decide and control himself from gambling all alone without self-exclusion since anyone can switch the casino whenever you desire.
Gambling should be a hobby and only to have fun

Taking breaks in gambling is important. There can be various reasons, for some, they take breaks to prioritize their mental health, manage stress, or distract themselves by doing different or new things. It's important to set limits and financial boundaries, or you may seek help with friends, family or professionals, by taking breaks and doing these, it's one step towards responsible gambling and well being.
When you take break from gambling, you will somehow realize that your favorite games have been delivering as you would have wanted but you are no longer in the game. Anyways, I still agree with you that taking a break is important but it depends on the type of gambler you are. When you bet small amounts that are insignificant, losses will not affect you so much that you will need to consider taking a break. So, taking a break is just like a way of handling emotional depression as a result of losses, it is only needed by those battling painful losses.

It's important to set limits and financial boundaries, or you may seek help with friends, family or professionals, by taking breaks and doing these, it's one step towards responsible gambling and well being.
In essence, the hobby of playing gambling is not always fun, sometimes we need to switch to other hobbies to simply control ourselves in gambling, it is difficult if you are addicted to gambling to stop for a while, because people who are addicted to gambling never succeed in resting in peace, let alone stopping. playing gambling even for a short time, obviously it would be very serious if it happened to us, so why is there no harm in not gambling for a while because you can relax and enjoy life or pursue other hobbies.

There is no problem for anyone who wants to stop gambling because I also often don't gamble, even I haven't gambled for a whole month, it doesn't make me want to gamble and come back so quickly, just by diverting our minds to new hobbies and habits will make We can enjoy life more and control ourselves so we don't get addicted to gambling. As much as possible, gamblers should rest because it is really necessary to manage stress and maintain mental health. As you said, there is a point, we need to enjoy life outside of gambling.  Wink

Gambling is not something I do by spending too much time and too much money so I think that I do not need to take a break. I can start and stop at anytime I want, I do not need to wait for specific instance to stop or to take a break. I will stop once I get I nice win and I can stay away for a while to spend my winnings in real life for several days. Other condition that make me stop is when I feel that I'm in a bad luck. All in all, I do not need to have other instances out of my gambling activity such as to hold my crypto because I have separated funds for different activity.

This is a great advantage for people who are not gambling regularly but only gamble casually.
I once came to a point where I regularly gamble, literally everyday I spent an hour or two after the day job to gamble at a local casino or in a carnival. But, I actually didn't have any struggle regarding gambling urges when I decided to take a break because I realized how huge the money I lost in gambling everyday.
Therefore, one of the most effective way to take a break in gambling is to do an accounting and try to assess how much money you approximately lost in a month and in a year.

Except one is addicted to gambling, aside from that, I would say that taking a break from gambling is nothing hard that should warrant one asking how to.
You just have to make a decision that you want to take a break, and then jump on it, and there you go.

For me personally, I've on several occasions had to take a break from gambling for several reasons, for example, when I lost money I never expected to lose, I had to take a break from gambling for like eight to nine months before I had to start gambling again.

So, taking a break from gambling is very easy, but if you actually find taking a breaks from gambling difficult, then it simply means you might be addicted, for, not being able to withhold yourself from gambling is one of the symptoms of gambling addiction.

1. Rest in gambling begins with an intention.
From now on, round our determination and firmness to be able to rest/quit this gambling permaita.
2. Change mindset.
Instill in the mind that gambling is something that is not useful. Changing the way of thinking is indeed as easy as the palm of the palm, especially if it has been addicted to be difficult.
3. Gather a good group of people and do positive things.
Avoid gathering for people who plunged us. Look for a good environment and can be positive influences and make us free from gambling snares. And do positive things that can rest and play gambling.

You cannot abstain completely but you can reduce the amount of your gambling bets. If you gamble four days a week, make sure you gamble at least one day a week. Or keep betting two days a month and gradually reduce the amount of your bets and you will suddenly find that you don't have much of a gambling addiction inside you.
Since you want to avoid gambling by seeing the cryptocurrency increasing value, it will depend entirely on your mindset and ability to control. If you can control yourself then you can refrain from gambling and if you don't think yourself mentally perfect then you can't refrain from gambling. It totally depends on your desire and mental preparation.

I have this system in me wherein I have a limited or allocated amount of money that I could use for gambling in a period of time. For example, if I have $300 allocated for gambling in one month, and if, for instance, I lose all of that money in a week, then that's the time I will take a break from gambling. I will not try to recover the lost money; instead, I will wait for another month to replenish my funds for gambling.

In that way, I can have an indicator of when I should stop gambling, and in that way, I will keep my discipline and control over myself. It's important to take a break from gambling if you feel mentally and emotionally drained from the stress of gambling or whenever you have no more funds to gamble with. Also, it's important to save up money when you win big and take a break by treating yourself.

Stopping gambling for a while is a must for people who enjoy gambling because if they don't stop themselves from gambling, there is a possibility that they will experience problems of losing control of themselves in gambling where they can become addicted to gambling faster than they imagine. They will never know that they are addicted to gambling because of the pleasure they find from gambling too often. What made me stop gambling was that I lost several times, and to calm my mind, I had to immediately stop gambling for a while and try to block the thought of gambling again. I will try hard not to return to gambling for some time by keeping myself busy doing other activities that I know. Maybe I will try to do a new activity that I have never done before.

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

I have been into gambling for 15 years now and in between I have taken breaks from gambling. I have had different reasons for taking breaks. First, when I don't have so much money I take a pause. I don't believe in gambling to enlarge my income so when I am not prepared for a loss I don`t gamble because it will be difficult for me to get over the loss. Also, I am into sports betting focusing on England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga and Italy's Serie A and so when these leagues are on break I also go on break. I don`t try to gamble on other leagues. In addition, whenever I record so much loss, I don`t try chasing those losses rather I go on break. Furthermore, there are times when I get too busy with my job and so during this time I don't involved in gambling activity.
