I have been gaming online or at land based gambling halls for many years. I have determined, the addiction can take a hold of you and you won’t even notice it up until you are broke. Markedly if you are on a run. I have gone through many tens of thousands of dollars in just a tiny period of time and even today, I sometimes go a bit too far. It appears you are just having a blast up until you decide to track your loss and the guilt settles in, and then you continue advising yourself "I can earn it back" ad infinitum. It does not work. Then you feel sick to your stomach and the more you try the quicker you relinquish.
When you see that you are in the black, STAY on the UP! When you start to fritter away, do not tell yourself, "well only maybe 1 more" over and over again, trust me, this technique barely ever works. Say you are betting on slots, keep an amount set aside before beginning your play. DO NOT go over that range, regardless of how tempting. If you happen to gain, put the winnings in a separate cup. Don’t risk your payouts regardless of what happens. After you have played through your initial set range, stop. Depart, regardless if it’s on the internet or in a real life casino, don’t stick around. Always remember, there will be another day, another time. Obviously, this technique is able to function for any casino game that you wager on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, 21 or any other casino game.
Keep in mind, gambling should be entertaining not demanding, appalling work! If you are not having fun yourself, you don’t belong at the casinos. If you cannot manage the hit, don’t ever begin.
