Should you take breaks between sessions
Should You Take Breaks Between Sessions - Yes, and Here's How to Get It Right
0) Output in one paragraph
Breaks are required: they reduce errors and tilt, keep the rate in the plan, save from dogons and "eating" the daily limit. Basic: block 100-200 spins → pause 5-10 minutes, between sessions 30-90 minutes, after tilt/violations - timeout 24 hours, three minus days in a row - 72 hours. Maximum 1-2 sessions per day, 3-4 matchdays per week.
1) What specifically give breaks
1. Fewer mistakes: Bowls fall and bad decisions in bonuses.
2. Tempo control: SPM (spin/min) returns to target ≤ of 40-50.
3. Anti-Dogon: Halftime breaks the "give back now" emotion.
4. Betting discipline: the stake within the block "on emotions" does not grow.
5. Playtime quality: Keep CPM (cost per minute) healthy.
6. Profit protection: it is easier to activate stop wines in time and withdraw some.
2) Basic scheme "blocks → break"
Block: 100-200 spins (or 4-6 Bonus Buy).
Pause between blocks: 5-10 min.
Tempo target: SPM ≤ 40-50; if higher, increase the pause between clicks/autospins.
Rate rule: unchanged within a block, revision between blocks.
3) Intervals between sessions
Neutral session (no tilt): 30-60 min break.
Strong emotions (anger/euphoria): 60-120 min.
Tilt or rule violation (Dogon, skipping two breaks in a row): 24 hours.
Three negative days in a row: 72 hours of pause + revision of rates/plan.
Major skid: 12-24 hours (euphoria ≠ a reason to raise the rate).
4) "mandatory pause" triggers
− 30% of the daily limit within the session → a 30 minute break.
3 + bowls in 15 minutes.
SPM> 50 stable one unit.
Two consecutive missed scheduled breaks.
The thought of "catching up now" or the desire to raise the rate outside the plan.
Alcohol/sleep deprivation (<6h sleep) → game banned today.
5) Pause protocol (5-10 minutes)
1. Breathing 4-7-8: 1-2 minutes.
2. Water + eyes 20-20-20: 20 sec look into the distance.
3. Short neck/back/wrist stretch.
4. Mini check: emotions (0-5), SPM, limit balance, violations (yes/no).
5. If→Then:
6) Day and week schedule (templates)
Day A (one session):
Day B (two sessions):
Week (3-4 matchdays):
7) Intersessional timeouts 24-72 hours - when exactly
Two conditions from the list: tilt, dogon, skipping breaks, SPM> 50, series of bowls, sleep <6 hours.
− 100% of the daily limit is met → day closed, 24 hour timeout.
Three days in a row → 72 hours + a 20% rate cut in the next cycle.
8) Tools to help you remember pauses
Timer/alarm clock for 45-60 min.
Reality Check in the account (pop-up of the game time).
Deposit/loss/session limits.
Do Not Disturb mode on the device; sound/vibration of the Off slot.
Autospin with stops: by quantity, by bonus, by − X% of the daily limit.
9) Control metrics
Proportion of blocks with pause: target ≥90%.
Average SPM: ≤ 40-50.
Violations in blocks: two or more → session is closed.
CPM (cost per minute) does not increase due to the acceleration of the pace.
Percentage of sessions without dogons: 100% goal.
10) Frequent errors and quick fixes
"Goes - break then." → Timer break without the right to cancel.
Short micro pauses without leaving the client. → Get up from the screen, change focus.
Rate increase after a break "to start." → The rate changes only according to plan, not out of emotion.
Two sessions in a row without a window 60-90 minutes. → Reduce to one, or postpone the evening.
Autospin without stops. → Always set a limit on the number/bonus/percentage of drawdown.
11) Ready-made If→Then - rules (copy to notes)
If 150 spins have passed → then a break of 7-10 minutes.
If SPM> 50 → then increase the pause between clicks to 1-2 seconds.
If − 30% of the daily limit → then a pause of 30 minutes; revision of the goal of the day.
If the bonus gave ≥ 2-3 × to the deposit → then a 50% withdrawal and a break of 10 minutes.
If there are two micro-rule violations per session → then the day is closed.
12) Mini checklists
Before the session
Sleep ≥ 7 hours, sober.
Daily limit and rate (≤1% D; for high volatility 0.5%).
Timer 60 min; 100-200 spin block plan.
Stop wines/stop loss recorded.
Pro tempore
Pause 5-10 min after each block.
SPM ≤ 50; the rate does not change within the block.
There are no "dogons."
Later
Mini-report: emotions, SPM, result, disorders.
With tilt - 24 hours time-out; with three minus days - 72 hours.
Result
Breaks between sessions are not "optional," but a tool for managing risk and quality of decisions. Work according to the scheme: block 100-200 spins → pause 5-10 minutes; between sessions 30-90 min; after tilt/violations - 24-72 h. Keep SPM ≤ 50, fix profit according to the rules, do not change the rate inside the block. This is how you cut the tilt, keep the budget and keep control of the game.

5. If→Then:
- If emotions ≥3 → another 10 minutes pause.
- If there are ≥1 violations → close the session.
- If stop wines are reached → output 50% profit before proceeding.
6) Day and week schedule (templates)
Day A (one session):
- 3 blocks × 150 spins; breaks 7-10 min; final revision 5 min.
Day B (two sessions):
- Morning: 2 blocks × 150 → break 60-90 min → Evening: 1-2 blocks.
- If the first session is minus with a tilt, the evening is canceled.
Week (3-4 matchdays):
- Mon/Wed/Fri (and optional Sun). Between days - a full day without playing.
- Set of slots in advance; periphery (high volatility) - only from profit.
