I have been wagering on the internet or at real life casinos for a good many years. I have found out, the craving usually will take a hold of you and you will not even notice it till you are beaten. Especially if you are on a winning streak. I have gone through countless thousands of dollars in only a tiny period of time and even still on occasion, I still go too long. It feels like you are just enjoying yourself up till you decide to pay attention to your squanderings and the guilt settles in, and of course you continue advising yourself "I am able to gain it back" ad infinitum. It never ever works. Then you get icky in your gut and the harder you attempt the more rapidly you relinquish.
When you find that you are ahead, STAY in the Black! When you start to fritter away, do not inform yourself, "well only one more" over and over again, trust me, this technique barely ever works. Say you are gambling on one armed bandits, keep a number separate prior to starting your action. DO NOT go over this boundary, regardless of how appealing. If you happen to succeed, put the winnings in a separate cup. Do not risk your profits at any cost. Once you have gambled through your original predetermined threshold, stop. Back off, regardless if it’s on the net or in a land based gambling den, don’t stay at the tables or machines. Always keep in mind, there no doubt will be another day, other times. Clearly, this plan can work for any casino game that you enjoy, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, chemin de fer or any other casino game.
Remember, gaming is supposed to be enjoyable not burdensome, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you do not belong at the casinos. If you cannot manage the losses, do not ever start.
