Learning From My Wagering Blunders

I have been gambling on the net or at land based gambling dens for a lot of years. I have found out, the fixation is able to take a hold of you and you won’t even realize it till you are broke. Especially if you are on a run. I have gone through uncounted tens of thousands of dollars in only a short period of time and still on occasion, I sometimes go a bit too long. It feels like you are just enjoying yourself until you choose to pay attention to your squanderings and the guilt sets in, and of course you keep telling yourself "I could gain the cash back" ad infinitum. It doesn’t work. Then you get sick to your stomach and the more you try the faster you lose.

When you find that you are in the black, STAY on the UP! When you begin to throw away, do not convince yourself, "well just maybe 1 more" a number of times, trust me, this scheme RARELY ever operates. Say you plan on betting on one armed bandits, keep a pot set aside prior to beginning your play. DO NOT go over that restriction, regardless of how appealing. If you happen to succeed, put that in an alternate pot. Don’t risk your winnings regardless of what happens. Once you have played through your initial predetermined limit, stop. Leave, regardless if it is on the net or in a real life gambling den, do not stay around. Always keep in mind, there certainly is other days, another time. Obviously, this tactic is able to work for any casino game that you bet on, be it bingo, poker, electronic poker, keno, 21 or any other game.

Remember, wagering is supposed to be exciting not exhausting, appalling work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you don’t belong at the casinos. If you cannot manage the losses, do not ever begin.
