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.

Yes maybe you are the same as me in terms of experience in the world of gambling, I don't know if there are enough people who have also managed to quit gambling activities because they are tired of losing or not, on the other hand I think not everyone can take this path when losing dominates them, Or I mean not everyone can choose to quit when they have lost enough because there are also those who are basically gamblers who are unable to accept the fact that they lost and what happens instead is an act of revenge, they come again with a large amount of budget as a dedication to chasing victory and returning something that has been lost and it's not once or twice they do but while they have money then there is a possibility to chase victory.

So I think it depends on the person too, but honestly I don't know what influences or causes why they choose something else, and yes maybe I will predict a little that they don't have the right understanding of gambling at all or it could be that they have a personality that is easily provoked by things that upset them even though it's trivial and that's why obviously when defeat dominates then yes usually they will chase victory. On the other hand, I hope there will be more people who have the same feelings as me or you, which I hope they feel bored when they always lose so that they can slightly reduce unwanted things such as the amount of defeat.
