Learning From My Wagering Errors

[ English ]

1st to clarify the reason I wrote this essay. I have been betting on the internet or at physical casinos for many years. I have learned, the addiction can grab a hold of you and you will not even notice it up until you are flat broke. Particularly if you’re on a winning streak. I have gone through countless tens of thousands of dollars in a very tiny amount of time and to this day on occasion, I’ll go a bit too far. It seems you’re just having fun until you decide to track your loss and the anguish sets in, and then you continue to tell yourself "I can get it back" constantly. It never works. Then you feel queasy in your gut and the more you try the faster you are deprived.

When you see that you are ahead, STAY on the UP! When you begin to lose, don’t say to yourself, "well perhaps one more" and over and over again, trust me, this concept RARELY ever works. Say you are playing on slots, have an amount set to the side prior to starting your action. DO NOT exceed that limit, no matter how alluring. If you happen to win, put that in a separate pot. Don’t use your successes no matter what. Once you’ve played through your primary set limit, call it a day. Leave, regardless if it’s on the web or at a physical casino, don’t stick around. Always remember, there is going to be a different day, another time.

Keep in mind, betting is assumed to be FUN not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t enjoying yourself, you do not belong there. If youcan not afford the loss, don’t even start.
