When you're already either contemplating quitting the session, or when you find yourself unable to control yourself anymore despite splurging a lot of money on bets you have made during the game. These two specific instances does not matter whether you win or you lose, but are highly dependent on your subconscious asking for a little break which you may often dismiss because you're very busy tying to chase after that win you will never get back. Oftentimes our brain will tell us that it has had enough and when it does tell us it already had its fill, we must answer to it as furthering against your limits is going to cause you even more problem in the future.

The reason why gamblers become addicted to gambling is because they do not respect the limits they have imposed upon themselves, as well as the biological/instinctive limits that the brain has. The catharsis of knowing you could actually disobey yourself is what primarily causes you to go for more, which is why you should always be mindful of your self when you play.

The impulse to chase losses or ignore the need for a break can lead to harmful consequences financially and psychologically. Maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling is how to adhere to personal limits. Ignoring these limits can lead to a cycle of chasing losses and disregarding one's well-being. Gamblers need to prioritize self-awareness and self-control to prevent falling into the trap of addiction.

Time to take a step back is a sign of strength, not weakness. Listening to our minds and respecting our limits can mitigate potential problems and ensure a more positive and sustainable experience with gambling. Doing so is a kind of maturity and self-awareness. It's a recognition of our own humanity, acknowledging that we all have limits and vulnerabilities. Listening to our minds empower ourselves to make healthier choices and cultivate a more balanced approach to gambling.
