Another bad session at dices. Roll Eyes

Can you believe it? in only a dozen of rolls I got out of combat and had to stop (because I had reached my personal loss threshold).
This contrasts much with the first time I played dices on Stake and managed to get a sweet streak.

this is my second bad session in a row, perhaps I should move onto blackjack and let the dices cold down for a couple of months, for Satoshi's sake...

Maybe yesterday was just a day of bad luck for everyone playing slots? Grin

I too did not have much luck at the slot games and got quite frustrated as well. Although I cannot say that I have reached any kind of personal loss threshold, I definitely will be needing to take a break from gambling for a week at least, until my head cools down enough and I can play again without making any dumb bets out of anger or excitement.

I would recommend you do the same as well. Just take a rest and think about something else for a while. Get your motivation and self-control back. Grin

At times when we feel we've lost some money in gambling that we can't easily accept to let go, I think the best remedy to it is to give oneself a break, to continue gambling at that point is a really big mistake the gambler is making, because not only will he or she lose more money, but he's emotion might drive him into doing something really stupid which could lead to even more loses.

I have a personal experience when I gambled and lost about 50 percent of the initial amount I budgeted, I allowed anger take over me and my emotion drove me into betting the remaining balance of 50 percent once, and in a twinkle of an eye, every thing was gone, I really felt bad that day.

I think most gamblers did some crazy yolo bets like that. When I was still an addict I'm fond of doing that kind of bet, All for nothing bet and pushing me at my limit. I think the adrenaline rush makes me addicted doing it again and again when I'm still actively doing gambling. We can consider it as an expensive experience, At least we know what to do whenever we are on a situation like that. Giving yourself a break is an absolute must if you are getting triggered by the current gambling situation you have. Drink some water and contemplate. It works for me most of the time.

Whether you drink water or have a coffee is secondary, first thing is to take a break. When you're on the losing streak it is really hard to make a have control, because the mind will loss its temper and goes for higher bet. By the time we'll have a mind, we need to win what is being lost or loss everything. So gambling happens in an out of control manner.
