Hmm maybe yes but I think for this responsibility issue beyond the statistical issue, it is more about whether a gambler has the right understanding or not about what and how gambling really is, and that means one of the biggest reasons why most gamblers often find it difficult to avoid various excessive actions such as gambling with too much money, gambling without setting limits on time and other excessive actions is because they do not understand that gambling is too risky if treated excessively. Basically, everything that is done based on a misunderstanding will definitely lead to various actions and decisions that should be avoided and that's how they are.

If a player allows himself to become overly passionate about the game and increase his bets uncontrollably, then a break will not help him in the long run, because after the break he will continue to do the same. A break should be used to draw conclusions from his mistakes and later return as a better and more disciplined player, only in this case can one hope for improved results. So yes, a break is a good practice, if there is a need for it, then you can even take a break without a series of losses, just to organize your thoughts and return with a better strategy.

It is often said that "how a man makes his bed, so does he lay on it", someone who is so passionate about gambling to the extent of him increasing his bets amount uncontrollably has two chances, either he wins big or loses big.
If he wins big, then a big congratulations to him and a learn we perhaps can draw is that, at times, it is good to take big risk for in it lays the big reward.

But for the person who loses big, he can or may decide to take a break, and it is wrong to conclude that he will come back from that break and continue to gamble that way, for this reason, a break is not necessary, loses teaches almost every gambler lessons, except for those who have mental problems.
Someone who lost big money will not be told to start small again after coming back to gambling, this is if he or she doesn't even give up gambling.
