I have been gaming on the internet or at real life casinos for a lot of years. I have learned, the fixation can take a hold of you and you will not even see it till you are broke. Especially if you are on a profit streak. I have been through uncounted thousands of dollars in only a little period of time and even still on occasion, I still go a bit too long. It seems you are only having fun till you make a choice to consider your losses and the anguish sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I might be able to gain the funds back" again and again. It doesn’t work. Then you feel sick to your stomach and the more you try the quicker you give away.
When you observe that you are up, Remain in the Black! When you start to fritter away, don’t tell yourself, "well only 1 more" over and over again, trust me, this tactic RARELY ever operates. Say you are wagering on one armed bandits, keep an amount set aside prior to starting your betting. DON’T exceed that range, no matter how tempting. If you happen to profit, put that in a separate canister. Don’t risk your payouts regardless of what happens. After you have played through your original set threshold, stop. Leave, whether it’s on the internet or in a brick and mortar gambling den, do not stay at the tables or machines. Make sure to keep in mind, there no doubt will be other days, other times. Clearly, this method can function for any casino game that you bet on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, chemin de fer or any other game.
Remember, gaming should be delightful not demanding, sickening work! If you are not having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If you can’t pay for the losses, do not even start.
