Walking Away For An Extended Casino Break , Easy Or Hard ?

Lmao, I just busted myself believe it or not, as soon as I posted this subject, I went directly to the bonus section haha, maybe walking away for a break today will be tougher than I think lol

Chasing your losses rarely works in a players favor . In poker, its called tilt, but with poker, for me, no limit hold em, you play through it, keep your head up, play smart, and the bad streak will eventually pass and you'll find yourself on the other end of the spectrum where everything goes your way. But with poker you have choices, slots, every spin is a random shot that's not in a players favor, so better to step aside for awhile and watch the cold streak go away from a distance.

Oh no, not necessary, but thanks for looking out for me, reading and talking about slots and gambling for me personally works as an excellent substitute. I'm not easily triggered, as I have had to battle addictions in my past much larger than this, of course this is me personally, dont want to offend anyone that's fought a gambling addiction in their life. My point is though, I have learned a lot about addiction in general, unlike the other, with this one I can be close and still be safe . I hit the news section more often during these times lol

Going into 48 hours coming up, haven't deposited a dime, I played a few freerolls yesterday, I played some poker with money that was already in that account. So I'm still on track. As long as my money stays out of the casinos, and I dont make any deposits then I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing right now. At 14 million, I could find myself just dumping my money into Mega Moolah right now. So that's my finish line. A break until Mega Moolah shoots millions of dollars at somebody other then me lol. I learned today that slot could give me problems in the future if I don't control myself, I like the game and that much money is tempting, in my mind, if you're playing it, you have just as much chance as everybody else playing it, but if you don't play you don't have any shot at winning. So times like these I find myself putting more then my allowed budget in just so I'm always playing and having that "chance".

Yep, I'm aware of that rule slim, I hear it a lot, everytime before I make a deposit I think of that rule. I have never followed it.But i revised it several months ago, this one i do follow most of the time. It was either find a way to stick to my very small online gaming budget, or i cant play, ever, Texas hold em included, and i love playing that one . Since I couldn't follow that 1 simple rule, I broke it down into more manageable rules. Example, if I deposited, say 50$, and I had access to more money, rent money, food money, money not for me to gamble away, the 50 no matter how I tried, I knew I I could just deposit more, and I would burn through that 50 very fast, then dip into the other money with little guilt. Some of us know, with a family, kids, what I did there is not acceptable from a proud father, husband ,boyfriend. You cant stand there proud of you're stealing from your family. So I stopped budgeting with the 50, and started budgeting with the same 50$ but with the games instead. So I hit one of my favourites, Flame Busters, I never bet huge, so I know if I make 50 spins at .20 cents, and nothing's happening, it wont happen and get out. Or my budget will be for that one game, if I lose say 7$, get out right there, if I find myself up 25 at any given point, I exit. Exit when winning is tougher to do then exiting when losing lol . But with those little rules, if I stick to them, I can stretch that 50$ for hours, if I'm lucky, days with a cash out in between somewhere. If I just have the rule in my mind and I'm really only thinking 50$, it just never worked for me. At Circus.be they let you take whatever amount of your bankroll into each slot, so if you run out and lose however much you decided to bring into that slot, you have to exit the game to access your bankroll again, for many of us, ar that point, its much easier to walk away from a losing machine/slot then it would be if you had all your money in that losing game with you at the same time, just one more spin, just one more spin. If I'm already out of the losing game, I choose a new one every time, I think every casino should have this option, alright I'm done rambling, thanks to those of you who read these in full lol

Holy smokes, I apologize for all that rambling above lol , and I almost forgot, another day has passed by with a successful me standing back and still haven't deposited any money into casinos and gambling. I stand one more day strong.

Hey sharpe, I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time. To be honest, I had absolutely no plans to type all of that out lol, that one got away on me. When I was done and posted it, is when I actually realized how much I put down. Hence the reason for my message immediately after haha
I know I have a wide variety of words at my disposal, just so I'm not always using the same words for the same things over and over, but as far as breaking something like that one above up into paragraphs, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Oh, and to leave an update on my mission before I go, I caved today, I threw 10$ into ikibu casino , that 10$ lasted me probably around the 3 hour mark, broke up into 3 different sessions throughout the course of my evening. But the point for me wasn't to deposit very little, it was to not deposit at all.
Since that dangerous one for me, in Mega Moolah is still lurking with huge numbers, I have to get back on track after a brief hiccup through my mission.

Hey vomvom12, maybe you should have red all the way through before you commented. That long difficult to understand rant is almost all about ways I have learned in my own experiences, on how to play within my budget, little things that work for me to be able to stay in control , within my budget, with very little difficulty.
I shared those because of the " number one rule" that lots know about , but have difficulty following sometimes, which was also briefly talked about further up than that.

Also it would seem, that you have , very clearly, a completely different issue then sharpe addressed above.

Hey coolsongss, welcome back, I'm on just stepping back for a few days, a week maybe. I got on a losing streak, that didn't look like it was ending anytime soon lol I started losing money I cant afford to lose, and making some not so smart decisions. So instead of continuing down that path I decided to just step back and let that bad luck losing streak pass me by instead of trying to play through it.Hope your aunt is doing good.

Hey Eljuno, lol ya I like microgaming, a better way to describe it would be, not so much that I favour them over other providers. It's that I trust them more than any other provider out there lol so I tend to play them fairly often.

My extended break has been for the most part successful, I managed to deposit only 10$, other then that, I played freerolls, and used the free spins, but not my own money. When I started playing again, my bad luck was gone, for now.

Check out my screenshots in Perpetual thread for winners. Post your winning screenshots & win CLchips!

Not huge wins, but for what I was wagering, they are pretty handsome wins lol

I'm not sure exactly how many days I went, I stopped counting. But I accomplished exactly what I set out for in the first place, take a step back and let the losing streak pass on by without losing any more money.
So I played over the weekend, and the bad luck was definitely gone lol. I didn't deposit very much, and i did manage to cash out more then i deposited , plus with all the good luck happening, I was able to play quite a bit and have fun doing it.

Mission accomplished. . . . . This time 🙂
