I have been wagering on the net or at real life gambling dens for a great many years. I have found out, the habit can acquire a hold of you and you won’t even see it until you are bankrupt. Especially if you are on a profit streak. I have been through countless tens of thousands of dollars in only a short period of time and at times, I sometimes go too far. It feels like you are only enjoying yourself till you choose to consider your loss and the blame settles in, and of course you keep advising yourself "I can gain it back" ad nauseam. It never ever works. Then you get sick to your gut and the harder you try the quicker you lose.
When you observe that you are in the black, STAY in the Black! When you begin to give away, don’t convince yourself, "well only maybe one more" a number of times, trust me, this plan almost never ever operates. Say you plan on betting on slot machine games, keep a pot separate ahead of starting your gambling. DO NOT go over that limit, regardless of how appealing. If you happen to profit, put the winnings in a different pot. Do not wager your payouts no matter what. After you have wagered through your original predetermined limit, stop. Call it quits, whether it is on the net or in a brick and mortar gambling den, do not stay at the tables or machines. Make sure to keep in mind, there will be other days, another time. Obviously, this process can work for any casino game that you gamble on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, blackjack or any other game.
Remember, betting is supposed to be entertaining not backbreaking, sickening work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you don’t belong at the casinos. If you can’t afford the losses, do not even start.
