Being Taught From My Gambling Failures
First to clarify why I write this essay. I have been betting on the web or at a brick and mortar casinos for many years. I have discovered, the dependency can take a hold of you and you won’t even realize it until you are flat broke. Especially if you’re on a winning run. I have gone through countless tens of thousands of dollars in a very short amount of time and still on occasion, I will go a bit too far. It seems you’re just having fun until you start to be aware of your squanderings and the anguish settles in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can earn it back" constantly. It does not works. Then you become queasy in your gut and the harder you attempt the faster you are deprived.
When you see that you’re ahead, remain on the UP! When you start to be beaten, don’t tell yourself, "well perhaps one more" and again and again, believe me, this method almost never ever works. Say you’re playing on slots, have a bankroll put aside prior to beginning your action. DO NOT go over that limit, regardless how captivating. If you actually succeed, put that in a different canister. Do not spend your wins no matter what. Once you’ve gambled through your original set limit, call it a day. Leave, regardless if it is on the net or at a land-based casino, do not stick around. Always remember, there will be another day, a different time.
Remember, betting is supposed to be exciting not backbreaking, sickening work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you do not belong there. If youcannot manage the loss, do not even begin.
