Well that's right, I experienced what you said about too many defeats that made me feel bored in the end and this is also enough to encourage me to finally reduce my gambling activities, to be honest at first I was a gambler who could be said to be very active, I couldn't miss a day not to gamble, even one day I can do several sessions on types of gambling such as slot machines which are now very busy in the conversation and when defeats continue to dominate after that I really feel a sense of boredom with a little sense of despair because in my mind I can already guess that the end result will definitely be the same as what I often experience, namely losing so that it makes my interest in winning even less until finally now I am very rarely involved in gambling, I don't remember when I last gambled but if I'm not mistaken about 2 months ago.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.
Well, I think you are not alone in feeling boredom because I have also experienced it, and it made me try to reduce my gambling activities. I feel bored when playing gambling because the result is always losing and rarely winning, even small wins. But I am grateful that by reducing gambling activities, I can really divert my mind from gambling so that I don't think about gambling even when I'm relaxing. Experiencing losses more often makes me think about the benefits of gambling for me because as long as I gamble, I often lose more than I win. And if people realize that if they are on a losing streak, they may need to give up gambling for a while.

It's good if you can feel calm by reducing your gambling activities so that you don't think too much about gambling anymore. Overcoming boredom by taking a short break is worth doing because it can help to calm your thoughts about gambling. They can also distance themselves from the continuous losses they experience so that those who are bored of gambling can try to divert it to other things so that at least it can reduce their gambling activities. It also helps them to avoid problems from gambling.

A gambler who doesn't win will easily stop gambling compared to those who win while losing at same time. The winning helps to thrill the gambler to participate further in the game. The minimal wins for the player, means he could win the bigger amount. Those different thoughts have unique effects on the gambler. Some would reach there, while others will struggle out of the trouble chasing losses leads them. The greedy players don't get content of what they've won. They try to earn bigger amount, by wagering higher than their constant amount money. Here, the gambler can get upset over his new decision. Which can affect their earnings. Staying contented as a gambler, helps in limiting the losses of the gambler to a minimal stage. Thereby, the gambler easily understands his strategies and control himself.
However, some gamblers have experienced loss and will decide to continue gambling because they feel they still have a chance to win. They still feel confident to continue gambling, so they will try again another day and will even try gambling again with more money. If they can win, it doesn't satisfy them, but they will continue gambling to get even bigger wins. That is the greed within a gambler where they don't think about losing again. And if they lose again from continuing to gamble, they will probably be annoyed and say they will come back another day to avenge their loss. If his goal is like that, he will only try to recover from his loss first and then try to win. But instead of recovering from his losses, he will lose even more so that he won't be able to win.
