Being Taught From My Betting Failures

1st to clarify the reason I wrote this essay. I have been wagering online or at a brick and mortar betting houses for many years. I have discovered, the dependency can grab a hold of you and you won’t even notice it until you are beaten. Particularly if you are on a winning streak. I have gone through countless thousands of dollars in a very short amount of time and to this day on occasion, I will go too far. It appears you’re just having fun until you start to track your defeats and the anguish sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can earn it back" repeatedly. It never works. Then you become sick in your gut and the harder you attempt the quicker you lose.

When you notice that you’re up, STAY on the UP! When you start to be beaten, don’t say to yourself, "well perhaps just one more" and over and over again, trust me, this method RARELY ever works. Say you are playing on slots, have an amount set to the side before starting your action. Don’t go over that boundary, no matter how alluring. If you actually succeed, put that in a separate cup. Don’t spend your winnings no matter what. Once you’ve played through your original set limit, call it a day. Head out, whether it is on the net or at a physical betting house, don’t stick around. Always keep in mind, there is going to be another day, another time.

Always remember, wagering should be FUN not backbreaking, nauseating work! If you aren’t having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcan not manage the loss, do not even begin.
