I have been gaming online or at real life gambling dens for a great many years. I have learned, the addiction is able to take a hold of you and you won’t even see it till you are broke. Specifically if you are on a run. I have gone through many tens of thousands of clams in a very tiny period of time and at times, I can go a bit too far. It appears you are only having sum excitement till you make a decision to consider your losses and the anguish settles in, and then you keep telling yourself "I could earn the mulla back" ad infinitum. It does not work. Then you feel sick to your stomach and the harder you attempt the quicker you relinquish.
When you discover that you are up, STAY Ahead! When you start to fritter away, do not convince yourself, "well just maybe one more" and again and again, believe me, this technique RARELY ever works. Say you are gambling on one armed bandits, have a pot separate before starting your play. DON’T exceed this threshold, no matter how tempting. If you happen to earn, put that in a separate cup. Don’t bet your payouts regardless of what happens. Once you have gambled through your initial set cutoff, stop. Back off, regardless if it is online or at a brick and mortar gambling den, do not stay around. Make sure to keep in mind, there no doubt will be other days, other times. Obviously, this technique can work for any game that you play, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, chemin de fer or any other game.
Remember, betting should be FUN not burdensome, nauseating work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you can’t manage the loss, don’t ever start.
