I have been gaming on the net or at land based gambling halls for a good many years. I have learned, the addiction can acquire a hold of you and you will not even see it up till you are beaten. Notably if you are on a scoring streak. I have been through many thousands of dollars in only a little period of time and even today, I sometimes go too long. It feels like you are only enjoying yourself till you make a choice to track your losses and the guilt sets in, and of course you keep telling yourself "I might be able to win the money back" ad infinitum. It does not work. Then you get sick to your gut and the more you attempt the faster you give away.
When you find that you are in the black, STAY Ahead! When you start to lose, don’t convince yourself, "well only maybe one more" a number of times, believe in me, this scheme almost never ever operates. Say you plan on gambling on slots, have a pot separate before starting your play. DO NOT go over this threshold, regardless of how tempting. If you happen to succeed, put that in an alternate pot. Do not risk your winnings regardless of what happens. Once you have wagered through your beginning set threshold, stop. Back off, whether it’s on the web or in a brick and mortar casino, don’t stick at the tables or machines. Make sure to keep in mind, there will be other days, other times. Clearly, this tactic is able to work for any game that you play, be it bingo, poker, electronic poker, keno, 21 or any other game.
Remember, gambling should be entertaining not burdensome, sickening work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you don’t belong at the casinos. If you can’t afford the squanderings, do not ever start.
