I fall under the category of those gamblers who take a break after losing a decent amount of money in gambling.
Mostly the breaks are for few weeks until I make a new deposit again and start gambling.
I think it is necessary to take short breaks so that we don't get addicted to gambling.
It also makes us a responsible gambler by keeping a track of our losses.
This is a great practice as a gambler. This is highly recommended for those gamblers who are unable to stop and get addicted eventually. Chasing your loss instead of taking a break to analyze what your mistakes are is not what a responsible gambler would do. It's all about the psychology that goes on in our heads. The best way to counter this is to take a break from what is causing the issue. The moment we divert our mind from gambling, we can realize the mistakes. Because our mind won't be in a rush.
Only taking short breaks won't help totally if you don't want to get addicted to gambling. But it is a great practice. It will minimize your losses.
