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.
It's a bad idea to try to recover losses by taking risks you shouldn't. Taking a pause and establishing a stop-bet timer is, in my opinion, a prudent method of avoiding the temptation to go after lost money due to feelings of desperation. By taking a break, you may collect your thoughts, get perspective, and return to the game with a clearer head.
Gambling should be seen as a kind of entertainment, with the utmost importance placed on having a good time while maintaining control over one's financial situation. Creating and keeping to a budget is an excellent strategy to keep from losing more money than we can afford to spend. Taking breaks as needed may also help us stick to our budget and prevent us from making hasty choices.
Not that many people understand it, they are still considering it as "way of making money" and they do not get that it can't be like that at all. It is something that would hurt you in the long run and nobody should do it but at the end of the day there is a situation why it is not going to be a big deal.
I get that if you do not like it if you are going to lose money, many people do it to make money so when you tell them they can't either they won't believe you and will keep on trying to make money, or they will believe you and stop because all they cared about was making profit. This is why it's very important to make it clear that this is just for fun, and nothing more.
