First to clarify why I write this article. I have been gambling on the internet or at land based casinos for many years. I have discovered, the addiction can take a hold of you and you will not even notice it up until you are penniless. Especially if you are on a winning streak. I’ve gone through many tens of thousands of dollars in a very tiny amount of time and to this day on occasion, I will go too far. It seems you’re just having a blast until you start to be aware of your loss and the guilt settles in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can win it back" constantly. It never works. Then you become queasy in your stomach and the harder you attempt the faster you lose.
When you notice that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you start to lose, do not tell yourself, "well just maybe one more" and again and again, believe me, this logic RARELY ever operates. Say you’re betting on slot games, have a bankroll set to the side before starting your play. Don’t exceed that boundary, regardless how alluring. If you happen to win, put that in a different pot. Don’t use your successes no matter what. Once you have gambled through your primary set limit, stop. Leave, regardless if it’s online or at a land-based betting house, don’t stay around. Always remember, there is going to be a different day, another time.
Remember, gambling should be FUN not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you do not belong there. If youcannot manage the loss, do not even begin.
