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.

Well that's right, it means in any case what we have to overcome first is the root or cause of the problem not solving the problem, because when we know about what makes it difficult for us to set limits then we will not get caught up in the same problem, and in my opinion the only way we can identify what causes us to gamble excessively is by conducting an evaluation which in my opinion the root of the problem lies in your misunderstanding of gambling, most likely they do not really understand the consequences of the risks in gambling. So my advice is to try to re-evaluate your understanding of gambling, at least you know that there is no guarantee and certainty that you will always be able to win at the end of the session no matter how hard you try.
