1st to explain the reason I wrote this essay. I have been wagering on the net or at land-based casinos for a great many years. I have discovered, the addiction can grab a hold of you and you will not even realize it until you are bankrupt. Especially if you’re on a winning run. I’ve gone through countless tens of thousands of dollars in a very tiny amount of time and still on occasion, I’ll go a bit too far. It seems you are just having fun until you start to pay attention to your squanderings and the anguish sets in, and then you continue to tell yourself "I can win it back" repeatedly. It does not works. Then you feel sick in your gut and the more you attempt the faster you lose.

When you see that you’re ahead, STAY on the UP! When you begin to be beaten, don’t say to yourself, "well just maybe one more" and over and over again, believe me, this plan almost never ever functions. Say you are playing on slots, have an amount set aside before starting your action. DO NOT go over that limit, regardless how captivating. If you happen to win, put that in a separate pot. Don’t use your profits no matter what. As soon as you’ve played through your original set limit, stop. Leave, whether it is online or at a land based casino, do not stay around. Always keep in mind, there will be a different day, a different time.

Keep in mind, wagering is supposed to be FUN not exhausting, sickening work! If you are not having fun yourself, you don’t belong there. If youcannot manage the loss, don’t even start.
