First to clarify the reason I wrote this essay. I have been gambling on the internet or at a brick and mortar casinos for many years. I have discovered, the dependency can take a hold of you and you won’t even notice it until you are beaten. Especially if you’re on a winning run. I’ve gone through countless thousands of dollars in a very tiny period of time and to this day on occasion, I will go a bit too far. It seems you are just having a blast until you decide to pay attention to your loss and the anguish sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can win it back" constantly. It doesn’t works. Then you feel sick in your belly and the harder you attempt the quicker you are deprived.
When you notice that you are up, STAY on the UP! When you start to lose, don’t tell yourself, "well perhaps just one more" and over and over again, trust me, this concept almost never ever functions. Say you’re betting on slots, have a bankroll set to the side before starting your action. Don’t go over that limit, no matter how appealing. If you happen to succeed, put that in a different pot. Don’t use your wins no matter what. As soon as you’ve gone through your original set limit, bail out. Leave, whether it is on the net or at a physical casino, don’t stick around. Always remember, there will be a different day, another time.
Keep in mind, betting should be FUN not backbreaking, sickening work! If you are not having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcannot afford the loss, don’t even start.
