I have been betting online or at land based gambling dens for many years. I have been taught, the craving can acquire a hold of you and you will not even notice it up till you are broke. Especially if you are on a run. I have been through many tens of thousands of dollars in only a short period of time and still on occasion, I sometimes go a bit too long. It seems you are just enjoying yourself up till you decide to contemplate your loss and the blame sets in, and of course you continue telling yourself "I could win it back" ad infinitum. It does not work. Then you feel icky in your abdomen and the more you try the quicker you relinquish.
When you see that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you begin to lose, don’t inform yourself, "well only one more" a number of times, believe in me, this tactic barely ever operates. Say you are gambling on slot machines, keep a pot separate before starting your gaming. DO NOT go over that boundary, no matter how tempting. If you happen to earn, put the winnings in a different pot. Do not spend your earnings no matter what. Once you have wagered through your initial determine threshold, stop. Call it quits, regardless if it is online or in a brick and mortar gambling den, do not stick at the tables or machines. Make sure to remember, there no doubt will be another day, other times. Clearly, this scheme can work for any game that you wager on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, vingt-et-un or any other casino game.
Remember, betting is supposed to be entertaining not burdensome, nauseating work! If you are not enjoying yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you can’t afford the loss, don’t even begin.
