That's right, a gambler is always advised to always have a schedule of when to row and when to pull over, one of which is like what you mentioned here, where when the situation is losing or experiencing a losing streak, of course, such situations usually make a gambler dominated by emotions that can sometimes be excessive and that in the end they make decisions without any consideration, because yes, usually someone who has experienced successive defeats often acts rashly and they want to continue playing with frustration in themselves and the intention to take revenge with the aim of wanting to restore something that has been lost.
This is a typical gambler who usually gambles with the aim of winning or earning, because obviously I know this because I see from their reaction when they lose which is that they are unable to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session even though such results are very natural in gambling because of course gambling is always about winning and losing which means that you will not always end the session with a victory. Therefore, as we know that being a responsible gambler is always recommended as you mentioned, this will be able to help gamblers to avoid any unwanted bad possibilities such as experiencing a large number of losses or worse addiction.
When a gambler losing streaks from playing gambling, he must know that he needs to take a break from gambling and stays away for a while before his minds can't leaves gambling. But we know that when a gambler lose a streak, his minds will becomes high and emotional and that can makes him to feel that he must continue playing gambling to recovering his lost. Its not good for him because that can makes him forget his rules to always limit his gambling activity and not make decisions to continue playing gambling. Take a break is a must thing that a gambler do to reduce his loss and to avoid addictions.
That's why we must remember what our reason playing gambling and always to stick to our rules so we don't have a problem in the end of playing gambling. We don't have to be like the other gamblers who already loss their minds and spends much money just to playing gambling and still trying to win the games. They must accepts what they get from gambling, win or lose because that is the final outcomes from gambling and if they can't wise to themselves, they will only have a chance to become addicted gambler. We must become a responsible gambler by always have responsibility when playing gambling and avoid any unwanted bad possibilities that can happen to us that can makes us become addicted gamblers.
Taking a break is a great way, but another way to distract yourself from gambling is by doing other activities. I think we should all have a hobby, whatever it is, because it will make it possible for us to forget about gambling. For example, sports, such as soccer and so on, in my experience hobbies can be something positive in my life.
I will tell you a little story, it happens that one of my hobbies is soccer. Almost every week I can schedule at least one time to play soccer. And when I play soccer, all the thoughts that I feel instantly disappear and afterward I can feel better. Maybe this can also apply to someone who is addicted to gambling, where hobbies will be able to forget them in games that have to spend money. Sometimes when free time is just silent, the feeling of wanting to go to a gambling situation will arise, well actually that's a bad start. unless we have budgeted the budget for gambling beforehand. But when the feeling comes without our intention to do so, then maybe we will use the existing money even though it is for other purposes.
Doing other activities helps gamblers to forget about gambling for a while and if they can often doing that, they will not playing gambling too often which can helps them to manages their gambling activities. You have a good activities that can helps you to reduce to think about gambling and distract your minds about gambling.
When we doing another activity to distract our minds about gambling, we can balancing our life because we have many things that we do in our daily life. We will try to manages our time from one activity to another activity and we will only use gambling for fun activity in our spare time and not trying to spends too long to playing gambling because we have another things to do after playing gambling. That's the best things we can do to stays away for playing gambling too often and avoiding to breaks our limits for playing gambling because we don't want to uses gambling excessively.
