I have been gaming online or at land based casinos for a good many years. I have found out, the habit can acquire a hold of you and you will not even see it until you are beaten. Especially if you are on a profit streak. I have been through countless tens of thousands of clams in a very short period of time and still on occasion, I still go too far. It seems you are only enjoying yourself until you choose to pay attention to your losses and the blame sets in, and of course you continue telling yourself "I will be able to win it back" a number of times. It doesn’t work. Then you feel queasy in your abdomen and the more you attempt the quicker you relinquish.
When you find that you are in the black, STAY on the UP! When you start to lose, do not convince yourself, "well only maybe 1 more" and again and again, believe me, this scheme RARELY ever operates. Say you plan on betting on slot machines, keep a number set aside before starting your gaming. DON’T go over this range, no matter how tempting. If you happen to earn, put that in an alternate pot. Do not wager your profits regardless of what happens. Once you have wagered through your original set threshold, stop. Call it quits, whether it’s on the internet or at a brick and mortar casino, don’t stay around. Always keep in mind, there will be other days, another time. Clearly, this plan usually will function for any game that you play, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, 21 or any other game.
Remember, betting is supposed to be exciting not demanding, nauseating work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you cannot manage the losses, don’t ever begin.
