I have been gaming on the internet or at brick and mortar casinos for a good many years. I have been taught, the addiction is able to grab a hold of you and you won’t even see it until you are bankrupt. Specifically if you are on a run. I have been through uncounted hundreds of dollars in only a tiny period of time and even still on occasion, I sometimes go a bit too long. It appears you are only having sum excitement until you decide to track your squanderings and the anguish settles in, and of course you keep advising yourself "I can likely gain the mulla back" ad nauseam. It never works. Then you get icky in your abdomen and the harder you try the quicker you relinquish.
When you discover that you are ahead, STAY Ahead! When you begin to relinquish, do not convince yourself, "well just maybe one more" a number of times, trust me, this method RARELY ever operates. Say you are betting on slots, have a pot set aside before starting your gaming. DO NOT go over this range, no matter how tempting. If you happen to win, put the winnings in an alternate pot. Don’t spend your winnings regardless of what happens. Once you have wagered through your original predetermined threshold, stop. Leave, regardless if it is on the internet or at a land based casino, don’t stay around. Always remember, there will be other days, another time. Clearly, this plan can work for any game that you wager on, be it bingo, poker, electronic poker, keno, vingt-et-un or any other game.
Keep in mind, gambling is supposed to be exciting not burdensome, appalling work! If you are not enjoying yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you cannot pay for the loss, don’t even start.
