Being Taught From My Gambling Failures

[ English ]

1st to explain why I write this article. I have been gambling on the web or at land based casinos for a great many years. I have discovered, the addiction can take a hold of you and you won’t even realize it up until you are beaten. Particularly if you are on a winning streak. I’ve gone through many tens of thousands of dollars in only a tiny period of time and to this day on occasion, I’ll go too far. It seems you’re just having fun until you decide to be aware of your losses and the guilt sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can win it back" constantly. It never works. Then you feel queasy in your belly and the more you try the quicker you lose.

When you notice that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you begin to be beaten, do not say to yourself, "well perhaps one more" and over and over again, trust me, this concept hardly ever works. Say you are betting on slot games, have a bankroll set to the side prior to beginning your action. Don’t go over that limit, regardless how tempting. If you actually win, put that in a separate pot. Don’t spend your wins no matter what. As soon as you have gambled through your primary set limit, bail out. Leave, regardless if it is on the internet or at a land-based casino, don’t stick around. Always keep in mind, there will be another day, a different time.

Always remember, gambling should be FUN not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcan not afford the cost, don’t even begin.
