I have been wagering online or at real life gambling halls for a good many years. I have been taught, the habit is able to grab a hold of you and you will not even notice it until you are broke. Especially if you are on a profit streak. I have been through many hundreds of dollars in only a tiny period of time and at times, I will go too far. It seems you are just enjoying yourself up till you make a decision to track your losses and the guilt sets in, and then you continue advising yourself "I can earn it back" a number of times. It does not work. Then you get queasy in your stomach and the more you try the quicker you spend.
When you see that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you begin to fritter away, don’t convince yourself, "well just one more" over and over again, believe in me, this plan RARELY ever functions. Say you plan on betting on one armed bandits, keep a value separate prior to beginning your wagering. DO NOT exceed that threshold, no matter how tempting. If you happen to win, put the winnings in a different cup. Do not risk your payouts no matter what. Once you have wagered through your original determine cutoff, stop. Back off, whether it’s online or in a brick and mortar gambling den, do not stay around. Make sure to keep in mind, there will be another day, other times. Clearly, this tactic is able to work for any casino game that you wager on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, twenty-one or any other game.
Keep in mind, gaming should be exciting not exhausting, appalling work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you don’t belong there. If you can’t pay for the loss, don’t even begin.
