First to clarify why I write this essay. I have been gambling online or at a brick and mortar casinos for a great many years. I have learned, the fixation can take a hold of you and you will not even notice it until you are beaten. Particularly if you’re on a winning run. I have gone through many tens of thousands of dollars in only a short amount of time and to this day on occasion, I’ll go a bit too far. It appears you’re just having fun until you start to be aware of your losses and the anguish sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can earn it back" constantly. It doesn’t works. Then you feel queasy in your belly and the more you try the faster you lose.
When you notice that you’re up, remain on the UP! When you start to lose, don’t tell yourself, "well just maybe one more" and again and again, believe me, this method hardly ever works. Say you’re playing on slots, have an amount put aside before beginning your play. DO NOT exceed that boundary, regardless how appealing. If you happen to win, put that in a separate cup. Don’t risk your profits no matter what. As soon as you’ve gambled through your primary set limit, stop. Leave, whether it is online or at a brick and mortar casino, don’t stay around. Always keep in mind, there is going to be a different day, another time.
Remember, wagering should be exciting not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcan not afford the loss, don’t even begin.
