Being Taught From My Betting Failures

1st to explain the reason I wrote this essay. I have been betting on the internet or at a brick and mortar betting houses for many years. I have discovered, the fixation can grab a hold of you and you will not even realize it until you are beaten. Particularly if you’re on a winning streak. I’ve gone through many thousands of dollars in only a tiny amount of time and still on occasion, I will go too far. It seems you are just having a blast until you start to pay attention to your defeats and the guilt sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can earn it back" repeatedly. It does not works. Then you become queasy in your gut and the more you try the faster you are deprived.

When you notice that you’re up, remain on the UP! When you start to lose, don’t tell yourself, "well just maybe one more" and again and again, believe me, this method hardly ever works. Say you’re betting on slot games, have an amount set to the side before beginning your play. DO NOT go over that limit, regardless how captivating. If you happen to succeed, put that in a different canister. Do not risk your profits no matter what. As soon as you’ve gambled through your primary set limit, stop. Leave, regardless if it’s on the internet or at a land-based betting house, don’t stick around. Always remember, there will be a different day, another time.

Keep in mind, gambling should be FUN not exhausting, nauseating work! If you are not having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcannot afford the cost, do not even start.
