I have been wagering online or at land based gambling halls for a lot of years. I have determined, the fixation usually will take a hold of you and you will not even notice it till you are beaten. Especially if you are on a run. I have been through many thousands of dollars in a very little period of time and at times, I sometimes go too far. It seems you are only enjoying yourself until you make a decision to track your loss and the guilt sets in, and of course you continue telling yourself "I could gain it back" ad infinitum. It doesn’t work. Then you feel icky in your gut and the more you attempt the faster you relinquish.
When you observe that you are in the black, STAY Ahead! When you begin to fritter away, don’t convince yourself, "well only 1 more" a number of times, believe me, this scheme almost never ever works. Say you are betting on slot machines, have a pot separate before beginning your action. DO NOT go over that restriction, regardless of how tempting. If you happen to win, put the winnings in a separate cup. Do not bet your profits regardless of what happens. After you have played through your initial determine range, stop. Back off, regardless if it is online or at a land based gambling den, don’t stick at the tables or machines. Make sure to keep in mind, there no doubt will be other days, another time. Clearly, this tactic can work for any game that you bet on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, blackjack or any other game.
Keep in mind, betting is supposed to be enjoyable not demanding, nauseating work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you don’t belong at the casinos. If you can’t afford the loss, don’t ever begin.
