I have been betting on the internet or at real life gambling dens for a lot of years. I have found out, the addiction can take a hold of you and you will not even notice it up till you are bankrupt. Especially if you are on a winning streak. I have gone through countless thousands of dollars in just a short period of time and even today, I sometimes go a bit too far. It seems you are only enjoying yourself until you make a choice to track your loss and the anguish sets in, and of course you keep advising yourself "I can win it back" again and again. It does not work. Then you feel sick to your abdomen and the harder you try the quicker you give away.
When you see that you are in the black, Remain in the Black! When you begin to give away, do not inform yourself, "well only one more" over and over again, believe me, this technique RARELY ever works. Say you plan on betting on slot machine games, have a value set aside prior to beginning your wagering. DON’T exceed this cap, no matter how tempting. If you happen to profit, put the winnings in a separate canister. Do not wager your payouts at any cost. Once you have wagered through your beginning set threshold, stop. Back off, regardless if it is on the net or in a real life casino, don’t stay at the tables or machines. Always keep in mind, there will be other days, another time. Obviously, this tactic is able to function for any game that you enjoy, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, 21 or any other game.
Remember, betting should be FUN not backbreaking, sickening work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you do not belong there. If you can’t pay for the hit, do not ever begin.
