When was the last time you stopped gambling for a while? That is, you took a gambling break?
What was your experience like, and what activities did you use as a replacement for gambling?
-
It is like you want to stop gambling for awhile and do some activities that can help your health. You can go for sport like table tennis and hanging out with some friends and family. Hanging out can really help. You can also visit cinema with family. You can go for fishing if that is common in your area. You can do some workout activities et cetera.
But this is not gambling discussion or gambling.

I don't usually take gambling break rather I do have plans for my gambling meaning I don't gambling continually or regularly it's like monthly sometimes when I found games that looks too real to give me winning I don't mind placing bet on them or when I got some useful information about club sides or team maybe like having a new sign-in player or who was formally bought from other club to a more better club even though my monthly allocation is exhausted and I noticed there is possible winning I don't mind deep hand into my reserved funds to bet just single.

I placed a number of bets at the start of the Euros and Copa America, but the results were unexpected, so I decided to take a break. I am still on break, waiting for the EPL, La Liga, and Bundesliga to start the season before I will resume gambling. So far, I have had peace of mind, with no concerns about the outcome of a match. I watch the games without any preconceived notions about the outcome, which makes the game even more enjoyable.

I don't know, but currently I would say like 3-4 days for me without gambling, not online and not traditional base casinos. I don't know, perhaps I lost money in the last couple of my gambling that's why I just decided to stop for now and to be honest, I don't have that itch.
Could be a good sign that I'm maturing and taking control of myself, but still though, when I go to sleep, sometimes I will think of playing like bacarrat or roulette, until I fell asleep. ;D

Lolz 😂, having to use or look for an activity to replace your gambling activity when ever you take a break from gambling is definitely a sign that you are addicted to gambling.
When I take breaks from gambling, i simply do it without bothering on what to replace gambling with, and this shows that I am a free gambler, not in any way addicted to gambling.
And to answer your question though, I am even on gambling break right now as I type this comment, and last time I gambled was like 3 going to 4 months ago, and I have no plan of gambling soon, expect by some miracle, I hit good money

I’m not a heavy gambler - there are times when I go for months without opening my gambling account and I won’t even remember that there’s something called gambling.
I usually just go on with life without having to bother whether to replace it with any activity or not - if one starts to look for other things to make up for his gambling activity or to stop them from gambling shouldn’t that be considered as gambling addiction?

visiting the in laws for a week. this made be move away from my computer and just use my tablet and there is no privacy in such place where people are just watching over my shoulder of whatever i do on the websites i visit.
its the fastest way to quit gambling i think. but for the most part, talking and driving is always going to be the job i would doing when i'm in the house of my in laws especially holidays.
if i have to give myself a break in gambling without going to my in laws, i think i'd be going to be island where my ancestors are from, going fishing the whole week.

After the NBA Playoffs, I already stopped gambling. I lost like what always happens. :D
What activities did I do? Hmmm, I played online games and distanced myself from gambling websites. I also spend some time honing a skill that I can offer online (freelancing). Most of the time though, I spend my time with my family. Going outside with them, while having some conversation which is pretty helpful especially for addicted ones. I mean spending time with them would always be better than spending money in gambling.

I can't remember exactly when I intentionally stopped gambling but the situation then was I'm on a two-week losing streak with sportsbetting that's why I decided to take a break for a whole week. I didn't really do much to be considered as a replacement (just playing video games or more time watching) but it felt refreshing.
-
Nowadays, I only deposit once a month after my payday and play once a week (using affiliate money and weekly bonuses), so I don't need a gambling break. However, I still remember when I was new to gambling IIRC in 2017; I would play often, and it beat me up financially, mentally, and physically. Upon realizing that gambling isn't meant to be played like that, I stopped for several months and played video games, etc., to keep my mind busy. It's the best decision to overcome addiction and it opened a new page of responsible gambling IMO.
-
This topic smells like it is about or someone is having a gambling addiction. I havent taken a break in gambling, because I dont gamble often. I dont get tired of it. I would better say that I will take a break from work, already booked a vacation, and if there would be a casinos (at least slots), then I have $50 prepared for that. However, even if I would have to take a break from gambling, there isnt much to say about it. I just need to close browser, go and do other stuff.

Taking of breaks I believe is for people who begins to discover that their gambling habits are gradually becoming more frequent than usual, starts becoming abnormal and more about the profits rather than the fun and the thrill of the game, which is infact one of the best ways to handle such situations, taking a break frok gambling and probably diversifying your attention to some other activity that has less chances of addiction.
You're absolutely right, for people who do not gamble more frequently and have total control over their gambling life, taking a break from gambling would have no effect for/on them.
I don't think it's a wise idea to dip your hand into your reserve to gamble, rather using your reserve or float funds, I think it'll be a lot more preferable to use a part of your disposable funds.

When was the last time you stopped gambling for a while? That is, you took a gambling break?
Mine was during the holiday season, which is Christmas and New Year, we are busy during this time and we have a small business during this holiday season that gambling is out of my mind I can hardly get rest during these times
What was your experience like, and what activities did you use as a replacement for gambling?
It was a great experience because I got to meet all my relatives we are so busy in the holiday activities and that alone is a good replacement for gambling.

Yeah there are times activities can make you go several days without even thinking about gambling, well this could be a pretty good sign that you're a responsible gambler and you can actually go on without gambling.
Because there are gamblers that can't go even a day or two without gambling, no matter how busy their day or schedule is they'll always make out time to gamble just to satisfy that gambling urge, they could even forfeit doing some important things just to make sure they gamble. That's a very wrong way to approach gambling, indeed gambling can be fun and thrilling sometimes but that doesn't mean that it should be getting between you and your activities or daily routines.
Whenever a person realizes that this is how they're approaching gambling, then that's a pretty good cue that they're gradually developing a gambling problem, and a sign that you need to take a break before things get out of hand.

You are right though not a wise idea and not advisable especially to those who are easily out of their control and could turned to a habit of regularly dipping hand to touch their spare cash. I said this based on the regularity of the game, like how trusted the match outcome could be before doing that and is not supported in any way.

Yes when a person starts normalizing the habit of dipping their hands into their reserve funds, it automatically becomes a habit.
Reserved funds are meant to help people to achieve some sort of financial stability, flexibility and security, which gives them the ability to be able to navigating some uncertainties and capitalize on opportunities, as well as to take care og one's immediate needs and other living expenses, and gambling is definitely not one of those uncertainties or living expenses.
Gambling is merely just for recreation and fun, which can actually wait till the next paycheck comes or till the next income arrives.

If we believe that gambling is for entertainment and thus capable of bringing happiness, why do we also claim that it is not a part of our daily expenses? In my opinion, the reason for settling our expenses is so that we can live comfortably, and if gambling can add to our life span because anything that brings happiness can increase life span, why do not you classify it as living expenses? We must recognize that some of the bills we pay yield no returns, and that if gambling is done for pleasure, it is rewarding because nothing should be equated with an activity that produces happiness.

Thinking about it, it's a great time to decide to rest, for me it's spectacular, because it's a time to enjoy as a family, to be relaxed and so that activities can happen in a very Harmonious way where it's a Period of peace and sharing, that Includes going out, vacationing, going to beaches, walking, sightseeing and being able to have the opportunity to do something to spend a time different from the year or the effort of the year, however the activity of the game is not bad if you go out there to be able to spend a different time with the Family.

I think the last time I gamble was after pandemic when online casino was on trend here in my country I became an agent and I play with it then the other one was lottery but I stopped placing bets when there was controversies erupted on the senate about it. I lost successively on that both casino and lottery and I think after that happened I transitioned to my hobbies to ease the pain. I keep myself busy on things that makes me productive and profitable and served it as a replacement to my gambling activities.
-
The last time that I took a gambling break was when I almost got addicted and realized it by a friend. He encouraged me to stop gambling for a while in order for me to be able to control the way I spend funds on gambling. I was able to control it by playing video games and also hanging out with this same friend of mine where we play several games together and gist about life itself from past experiences.

It's disastrous because when it is being excessively and can no longer control your emotion to us gambling then it turns to problem whereby if not carefully handle one became addicted to it so, hence one must not be carried by the happiness driven from gambling or even bet excessively otherwise could lead to addiction and regret, the happiness is only for a meantime without lasting towards the day and derive pleasure from gaming or gambling.

The solution is setting a budget. When a gambler gambles within a time and financial limit, he is unlikely to become addicted because he is gambling for a good reason, which is to have fun, and he has set time and financial limits. I believe this is the true definition of "betting responsibly".
When a gambler gambles for fun but has no limit on how long he can gamble, he can easily be carried away by the euphoria of gambling and become addicted, as you correctly point out.

Yes gambling is definitely for entertainment and capable of bringing one happiness, but that doesn't mean gamblers shouldn't have or get involved with other activities that can also make them happy and increase their lifespan too.
Gamblers should also maintain a balanced life and get involved with other activities that'll give them the same kinda fun and happiness they also derive from gambling. We can't really predict the future, just because someone is gambling responsibly today doesn't mean he can't get engaged in irresponsible gambling tomorrow, completely relying on gambling could actually lead to an unprecedented unhealthy obsession, could even result to neglecting of one's responsibilities and even lack of personal growth.
These are likely to occur, hence the reason why gamblers should try to strike a balance between their gambling habits and other things, considering that gambling can be very addictive, we must regulate how often we gamble.

Yes that is it, setting a budgets plays a major role in the life of gamblers because some of them could gamble out of control but if there are proper limits to how long you could spend and how much is maximum to gamble then the best time they reduce addictions. But nowadays addiction is common because of lack of employment is the country and many people has no means of survival.

But nowadays addiction is common because of lack of employment is the country and many people has no means of survival.
In relation to this, it is imperative that a gambler sets a limit to how much they want or are willing to spend in every game, and it is very important that they follow the set limits to prevent gambling becoming an addiction. This is where it is important to point out that gambling has to be done in a reasonable way and should not exceed the user’s capabilities.
As you rightly pointed out, addiction is an emerging problem, and it can be associated with certain factors like economic risks, no job opportunities, and the availability of opportunities. It is when people are anxious about how they’re going to feed their families, or they’re extremely poor and they see the possibility of gambling being able to help them feed their family and this is exactly how addiction begins.

I personally can stop gambling at any time, more specifically when I don't have any more money to use for gambling. I won't force myself when I don't have money that I'm free to use.
There are many things I can do when I'm not gambling, because that's what I usually do. If I usually use my free time for gambling, then I will use that time for any activity, including hanging out more with my family, especially playing with my younger siblings.

We are people who have to have priorities, hierarchies and a lot of moderation when choosing who or what are our greatest priorities in life, family, children, friends, and putting all that before the game, I consider that it is the most problematic and what must be endured the most, of the rest those people who put the game above themselves, for me they have a mental deficit, and they quickly need to see a psychologist to realize what is happening and what attitude must change quickly.
-
I have been on a break for a while and I just do self-improvement stuff and also also reading a lot of books. I have read a lot over the past few weeks and it has helped me improve myself a lot. I also took courses while keeping myself occupied for most of the time so these are the stuff that I do religiously now.

I also took courses while keeping myself occupied for most of the time so these are the stuff that I do religiously now.
This is a nice routine. Aside from gambling, reading self-improvement books is always beneficial. Reading is always part of my weekly schedule. I do not read every day, but I make an effort to read and learn something new each week. This is a lifestyle that has been unaffected by gambling. What I mean is that I do not need to take a gambling break before reading a book.
This has helped me maintain a positive attitude toward gambling. Since I was taught the value of moderation, the knowledge I have gained from the majority of the books I have read so far has allowed me to control my gambling urges and gamble responsibly.
-
When was the last time you stopped gambling for a while? That is, you took a gambling break?
it has been a few years back when i lost a couple of money it took some determination and real dedication to take myself away from gambling especially after i saw how fast it can double or even triple my money
but i had to stop since i saw also how fast it can make you lose your money
What was your experience like, and what activities did you use as a replacement for gambling?
going outside and getting some exercise was really helpful it was entertaining enough but still beneficial not only to your physical fitness but also to your mental health as well

Yes we definitely have real life that we can do to pass the time, and again I said I only use my free time to gamble. So when I don't gamble it doesn't become a problem at all.
We definitely have priorities in life, and the status of gambling in my life is tertiary and that is in the order that there are still many above it. so I have many options to do other than gambling. It is very problematic when gambling is a basic need in life.

From my experience taking a break from gambling can clear the mind and actually make you focus more on yourself and your goals, in my opinion there are actually no activities that can easily replace that addiction because there are things that can easily trigger that urge to gamble whether you try to distract your mind or not, The only thing that works is making a conscious decision not to go back to it no matter what

Actually I am not that kind of addicted gambler but yes had a worst experience on gambling a long time ago that big loss taught me how to do gambling to not crossed the afford limit I feel like that was good for me I take lession how to do gambling with responsibility. That time I did take break from gambling and put my self to hanging out with friend and when free at home alone I play video games for passing my leisure period.
And for now I am doing gambling it is in normal way and if I go like this I can do gambling with out taking break.

Probably everyone has had a bad experience in gambling, but it affected everyone differently. I was very disappointed in slots, after 15 unsuccessful spins. And after that I realized that it was not my day, and it is better if I play in a casino, then only in more controlled games.

Recently, I played a virtual football game and lost 10,000 Naira. I had only one chance left to play, and luckily, I won 15,000 Naira. Instead of pausing to solve the challenge that prompted me to gamble, I kept gambling and lost 15,000 Naira. This is something I have always tried to avoid, but I gave in. Thus, as long as you gamble, you will continue to have bad experiences.

This kind of situation can often happen to those who are gamblers. When I myself got gambling wins, my interest in gambling increased. I thought at the time that maybe I could win more. That day might be a special day for me to win because of such thoughts that at some point when I lost I regretted why I didn't control myself there. Why I bet to win more? But at the end of the day such questions have no basis. Constraints in Gambling To myself, if I can't remove myself from the emotional space, then I have to accept my loss.

There are many other things you can replace with your gambling time. I stopped my gambling activities a week ago, and now I spend more time with my friends and enjoy some quality time. I can also play some games, which help me to come out of the gambling world.
It is not easy to leave gambling or take a break, but you have to make some serious decisions and promises. However, this will not be fully effective; for full effectiveness, you have to dedicate that gambling time to other activities. This will engage you in those activities and help you replace or break free from gambling. Remember, gambling is not inherently bad, but the issue lies in how you approach it.

Congratulation on your win. And I am seeing that it is not huge amount 10000 naira in dollar is about 6.28 and 15000 naira is about the 9.42 dollar.
If you chase the loss then may it work for you in this time and I am seeing the amount of losses wasn't much on my afford zone and you are are chasing the losses in your limit of afford to loss then I think there is no worries to think .
But if you are crossing your limit and chase the loss to recover everytime then I think there is think to be worry and need a break for you.

It is not easy to leave gambling or take a break, but you have to make some serious decisions and promises. However, this will not be fully effective; for full effectiveness, you have to dedicate that gambling time to other activities. This will engage you in those activities and help you replace or break free from gambling. Remember, gambling is not inherently bad, but the issue lies in how you approach it.
As a person who has not played gambling for a long time, I can understand why it is so difficult to get rid of the habit of being in gambling, be it a casino or betting or something else. The thing is that gambling is interesting because here and now they can change the fate of the gambler with a big win. And every such gambler believes that around the next turn, changes for the better await him.

I took a break from gambling years ago, and that break is still ongoing. Honestly, I don't miss it at all.
I didn't need any replacement activities because this break was more due to being fed up of gambling.

And most of the people I see are those who can't control their gambling habits because they expect too much, and that's what makes it difficult for them to finally get out, at least take a break from gambling.
I have an acquaintance because I like to hang out with the same people, even though we're not very close. Every time he's going to gamble, then every time he says something that smells of very high expectations. Actually, that's not wrong, because I also sometimes hope like that, but the problem is that his expectations are too high in games that are based on luck.

There is a proverb that is "Greed leads to sin and sin to death".
Most of the time it is seen that greed is found in those who cannot control their mind. Sometimes it is to win a lot of money by betting to win more money and sometimes it is to invest a money which is lost in the bet to recover that loss in profit or loss. Repeated investment of money but later it is seen that the amount of his loss has increased.
And to be honest, the number of such gamblers is more in the world of gambling. I think gambling is not bad until a man can't control himself and bets beyond what he can afford to lose.

Not everyone can stop the same way you did and I believe it was the best decision you could have made because gambling around ones child is not a good thing because children learn based on what they see or hear the adults say and if you were gambling there’s a high chance that your child/children would have picked up that habit and also engage in it in one form or another.
Or they would start seeing gambling as a normal activity since the people around them are into it.

as parents we need to practice what we preach to our kids we can't teach them how to navigate through life if we ourselves don't follow the same advices we give to them but aside from setting to be a good role model i think financially speaking if you have a child your money should no longer be in risk of being spent on other things aside from your children
kids are expensive and you absolutely cannot be addicted to gambling as there will be too much at stake here

That's right, we have to be an example for our children, and believe me guys, there is nothing more important in the world than our relationship with our children. They are pure and think correctly and expect the same from us, although life has changed us a lot a long time ago. We have to live up to children's expectations, because if you undermine their trust, it will be hard to get it back later.

Of course, but we can play when they sleep or if we can go out on land base casinos. So I guess they are still excuses for gamblers to go and play even if they have children, just saying. But if someone promised to themselves that they are going to quit because of their children then good for them.
For me I would say that I don't have a break, I gamble almost every other day but with just small amount. And I just came from a big win on a boxing match last night so it's all good to me.

Yes you are right, it is not bad for people who can limit their gambling and only gamble when they have more money to lose. But not for people who force themselves because they hope for something that is unlikely.
There are some people who can win very large amounts from gambling, but what percentage of all people who gamble? I don't think anyone can answer that, and if we did, our answer would be only a small part.

Personally, I have no desire to go to physical casinos, because there are online casinos where we can play and not even waste time on the road. I understand that physical casinos have their own charm, but I prefer online gambling and only this type of gambling. After all, you don’t even have to get out of bed to play.
