Usually the boredom phase comes, occurs when we experience repeated defeats. if I examine deeper, situations like this are in a slightly depressed state because the games we play don't give anything as we expect. for example, OP plays one slot game in each of his betting sessions. but every time we play, we never get a win. even though if we have to count, the money that has been lost in these slot games has drained quite a lot of our money. then, a feeling of surrender arises which results in boredom to continue the game session. because, our brain has processed that defeat for the umpteenth time will happen again. i'm pretty sure, if there are many who have or often experience such things as the OP said in this thread.

Referring to what you said, we agree that it all depends on the mood at the time. also, gambling bankrolls at that time. which in the end, creates boredom that affects our psychology. but based on what you've said, I think that this is another factor that can cause boredom to occur.

Hmmm well it depends to the person playing. In my case if I only lower my gambling budget it can only makes me anxious more and will make me more think that I need to add more money just to play and win the game . That's why I chose first one because it will also calm my mind and made me reflect to what will I do next time when I am having a losing spree. All of us have their different opinions and emotional capacity.

Losing doesn't give the same energy as winning, I can feel the joy that comes when one is winning, accumulating profits. Winning in the gambling system is one of the major reasons that keeps us going, we're ready to face anything as long as it gives up profits. Gambling is risky, before wagering we already signed up for both loss and profits. I know some of friends that usually complain of boredom while gambling, the facts is clear, is because they're losing. Boredom while gambling, mostly happen when one is on a losing streak. I totally understands every single aspect in the space, be it positive or negative.

There is absolutely no exception for anyone in gambling and anyone who gambles will definitely experience losses of any size, and you are right that every other person will have a different approach to that experience, some might stop gambling for a while, some might continue regardless of the outcome, and some might even increase their bets and the amount they usually use for gambling only to try and experiment with their gambling experience to see if anything changes.

However, I personally would just start lowering my bets and eventually stop gambling for a while when I see I'm not winning anything significant and it is getting boring since I keep winning some and lose even more and then win some and then lose some more, so it's definitely better to just stop and come back after a few weeks maybe.

I chose the second point, to continue playing by lowering the bet amount.
Because to be honest, if I have to choose the first point, I don't think I can stop it right away, even if it's only for a moment. I only need to rearrange the finances spent on gambling with the aim of minimizing the losses incurred and also rearrange gambling activities with the aim that the gambling activities that I do are more controlled. And I think in this case we just need to reduce the dose so it doesn't make things worse.

The first option, taking a break for a while is exactly what I did when I first experienced by first losing streak while playing dices. I fell bad for a while but eventually I could move own and felt better just by taking a couple of days away from the computer, doing other things which could keep my mind distracted.

Ironically, that same losing streak happened just after a good winning streak which led me to increase the wager while rolling the bones, inevitably It just took a single miss for me to get back in the red.

So yes, having a good rest can be healthy and does not only apply to gambling but also any activity which translates into stress to us.
If one is unable to get a rest from gambling even though one knows a rest in needed, then I would speculate one is experimenting the first symptoms of problem gambling. Take care yall.

That's the definition of chasing losses, and it leads to experiencing more losses until the person realises themselves and stops, or else after they have lost all their money, they can go off into a bored mood and regret their actions. I have not had such an experience, and if I had, I couldn't remember it correctly. The best thing to do is just take a break and come back the next day when you have sorted out your mood.

That's true mate, when experiencing these series of loses its best you just look for other means and keep your mind occupied if not those actual loses will keep replaying in your head making you feel you can go back and try to recover the money you lose whereas it's just another blackhole for more loses. For me I just resort to funny videos to keep my mind in check because when I laugh almost all my worries are forgotten.

No gambler will come forward to claim not to have been defeated before while gambling, but it something good to always run a check in knowing why these occurrences happened for us to be able to prevent further experience repeatedly, so much work is not needed on taking a pause action, we have to reengage and reapply the means through which we bet whenever we are gambling to stop or minimize losses each time we are gambling.

I think this experience can be found in almost all gamblers. A gambler will definitely feel a sense of boredom when he conducts regular gambling. And when a gambler tries to continue gambling after feeling bored, he loses. To get rid of such situation we must not engage in continuous gambling activities. Those who can take occasional breaks in gambling will be more successful in gambling. A gambler should take regular breaks whether winning or losing. Although sometimes it is difficult to take a break depending on the situation, a gambler must try to take a break.

The significant dangers and potential losses associated with gambling stem from the amount of money invested. Rather than solely concentrating on adherence, it's important to emphasize the magnitude of the investment.

I wouldn’t call it addiction for most because, at times we have gamblers that just tend to gamble, not too often but, they tend to be moved to gamble at certain points just for the love of the game and not really that they are addicted.
If you find yourself in that circle and you tend to get the impression that, it’s building addiction, then it’s time to establish models to save you from your gambling habits.

Models such as,
Having budgets for gambling and being disciplined enough to understand that, you should stop when your gambling funds is exhausted.
That’ll be the step towards mastery of control as the way to abstinence isn’t a complete drop but, a gradual withdrawal.

Having a goal means you want to win, even though in gambling if you want a win, it won't guarantee you can get it. We've seen many people who have lost money because they set a goal to win. But if your goal is just to get a win, that still makes sense because you won't be trying to get a win but just to get entertainment from gambling. And having a bankroll setting is also very helpful for dealing with the amount of money that might be lost in gambling so that you won't experience too many losses. But if you try to recover losses, it will still be difficult to do because you have to win in many rounds, and that's why not all or not many people can recover their losses.

I guess this absolutely tells on what you prioritize on gambling- which is primarily for profit.

People who gamble are divided as to what their purpose/intentions are. Depending on their goals, a person may gamble primarily for profit; while others may gamble just to experience that gush of adrenaline while waiting for their results. Either way, the person gambles and regardless of the result, almost all fall into despair as the cycle continues.

Though this may be the case, I am actually glad that this boredom you experience is what causes you to stop gambling. While others struggle to find the reason to quit, you at least have this "push" that really compels you to stop gambling.

Taking breaks inbetween gambling has been more beneficial to me than playing continuously.
It has not only limited my losses but has also helped me in revaluation of my strategies since I got the time to think about what went wrong.
It has also helped me in being aware of whats happening around because otherwise gambling everyday had been a routine knowing less of whats happening around.
Occasional breaks are good and thus helps in a healthy gambling lifestyle.

Are you saying that in gambling someone can use a strategy to do it? to be honest, I don't really believe that they can increase the chances of winning in gambling by using several strategies, for me it seems impossible because gambling is only about luck which in the end will answer winning or losing. But apart from that, maybe there are some of them who believe in it because indeed all gamblers have their own way of doing it, but for me gambling is still just luck and I will only enjoy every round, win or lose I will still be a responsible gambler accept all the consequences. In terms of goals, of course every gambler must have them, the goals you mean are probably wins in general and for me those goals are some of the limitations that gamblers have to do when they get a win or loss result there, for example they have got a win so they have to immediately stop and withdraw the winnings. If they don't withdraw immediately then it's true as you said that the victory you have won is only temporary because it will be lost again for the next few rounds if you don't stop.

Losing something that maybe for some people is very valuable will cause them to get addicted, and well after that they will gamble with the aim of returning losses at the previous time, but as we know that everything will return to the beginning that defeat will still dominate.

Change your gambling strategy because you are bored you must know how many bets you will place, for example, or how much money you expect to win or lose in a certain period of time. If you don't set a goal, your chances of winning over an extended period of time are almost zero. The only way to win at gambling is to have goals. It's also essential to set and stick to an effective bankroll management strategy, and don't gamble more than you can afford to lose. Loss chasing is an irrational and dangerous gambling behavior with serious financial and emotional consequences here are some of the main problems that can lead to gambling addiction.

Correct, gambling is a choice, so not everyone can be a gambler.

Gambling itself is good because there's a warning message about high risk game and afford to lose, what make gambling looks bad is those people who can't become a gambler always attack gambling influence a bad habit and ruin their life.

Just like cigarette, people who're not smoking say it's bad, but it's actually up to everyone choice.

I think the best way to do when you experience this is to take a rest. Just pause for a bit and when you feel like you're ready to do it again, then that's the best time for you to come back. If some any point gambling exhaust you, then it's not for you anymore. I believe the main reason why we engage into gambling it's because we want to have fun and entertain ourselves and at the same time to generate an income, and the moment you got bored to it means that you're not enjoying it anymore. One of the things I did before when I experience a big loss, I took a break and find a new hobby, and it worked for me. Then after weeks, I came back better and refreshed.

As defeats repeated themselves, I came to the realization that the day was not in my favor. Despite taking a momentary pause, resuming the game inevitably led to further losses, perhaps exerting a subtle strain on my mindset.

What I opted for was to venture into a more delightful realm without risks, such as a park excursion or engaging in sports with friends. Distracting oneself from gambling proves wiser on those ill-starred days. And initiating gambling endeavors anew is best reserved for the morrow when one's mood has uplifted.
