Learning From My Gambling Errors

[ English ]

1st to explain the reason I wrote this essay. I have been wagering on the web or at a brick and mortar casinos for a great many years. I have discovered, the addiction can grab a hold of you and you won’t even realize it up until you are penniless. Particularly if you are on a winning streak. I have gone through countless tens of thousands of dollars in a very tiny amount of time and still on occasion, I’ll go a bit too far. It seems you are just having fun until you decide to track your defeats and the anguish sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can earn it back" repeatedly. It never works. Then you feel queasy in your gut and the harder you try the faster you lose.

When you notice that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you begin to lose, don’t tell yourself, "well just maybe just one more" and again and again, trust me, this method hardly ever operates. Say you are betting on slot games, have an amount set aside prior to starting your action. DO NOT go over that limit, no matter how tempting. If you actually win, put that in a separate cup. Don’t spend your winnings no matter what. As soon as you have gambled through your primary set limit, call it a day. Head out, whether it is online or at a land based betting house, don’t stay around. Always keep in mind, there will be a different day, another time.

Remember, wagering is supposed to be exciting not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you do not belong there. If youcan not afford the cost, do not even begin.
