Why it is important to pause even with a series of wins

1. Hot hand psychology

Illusion of control: after several successful outcomes, it seems that "luck is on your side" - by winning, the player reduces his vigilance.
Increased confidence: "I know how to play" - leads to an increase in rates without recalculating the risk.

2. Risk of emotional uplift

Burnout: excess dopamine in the brain - fatigue, decreased attention, missing signs of fatigue.
Impulsive decisions: the desire to "catch another wave" ignores pre-set limits.

3. Keeping bankroll stable

Win fixing: breaks allow you to fix current profits and avoid overspending of "net" funds.
Control of risky amounts: in a state of euphoria, rates can grow significantly, which will destroy the accumulated advantage.

4. Mathematical realities

Independent events: each spin or hand does not "remember" previous winnings - there is no "pattern" to the continuation of the series.
Negative expectation: Regardless of the results of the short series, RTP and house edge invariably work against the player.

5. Techniques for timely pauses

1. Auto timer for 15-20 minutes
- Built-in or third-party Pomodoro: turn on the countdown immediately after winning.
2. "5 minute pause" rule after each win> × 1.5 bets
- A big win is always accompanied by a pause to assess the situation and new calculations.
3. Player diary entry
- Record: the size of the win, time, current emotional state - this creates a "moment of reflection."

6. Practical recommendations

Pre-set limits
- The session budget and stop loss do not change even after winning.
Distracting activities
- After a series of winnings, take a short walk, stretch or chat with a friend.
Alternative tasks
- Make a list of quick tasks (tea, music, writing) and switch to the first if you want to "continue."

Keeping pauses after success protects against an emotional hurricane, preserves profits and maintains a sober calculation. Automatic timers, 5-minute rules and a clear player diary will help turn the winning streak into a controlled Fortschritt, rather than a risky descent from a mountain of emotions.
