I have been gaming on the net or at real life gambling halls for a good many years. I have found out, the habit can acquire a hold of you and you will not even realize it till you are bankrupt. Especially if you are on a run. I have been through many hundreds of dollars in a very short period of time and even today, I sometimes go a bit too far. It appears you are just having a blast till you make a choice to track your losses and the guilt sets in, and of course you keep telling yourself "I could earn the funds back" repeatedly. It does not work. Then you get sick to your abdomen and the harder you attempt the more rapidly you lose.
When you see that you are ahead, Remain on the UP! When you start to relinquish, do not tell yourself, "well only one more" and again and again, believe me, this technique RARELY ever works. Say you are wagering on slots, have an amount set aside prior to starting your betting. DO NOT exceed this range, regardless of how tempting. If you happen to gain, put that in a different pot. Do not bet your payouts at any cost. Once you have wagered through your original set range, stop. Back off, regardless if it is on the net or in a brick and mortar casino, don’t stay at the tables or machines. At all times keep in mind, there will be other days, other times. Obviously, this method can work for any casino game that you play, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, twenty-one or any other casino game.
Remember, wagering should be delightful not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you can’t afford the squanderings, don’t ever start.
