1st to explain the reason I wrote this essay. I have been betting on the web or at physical betting houses for many years. I have discovered, the dependency can grab a hold of you and you won’t even realize it up until you are penniless. Particularly if you are on a winning run. I’ve gone through many tens of thousands of dollars in a very tiny period of time and to this day on occasion, I’ll go a bit too far. It seems you are just having fun until you start to be aware of your squanderings and the guilt sets in, and then you keep telling yourself "I can win it back" repeatedly. It does not works. Then you become sick in your belly and the more you attempt the faster you lose.

When you see that you are ahead, remain on the UP! When you begin to be beaten, don’t say to yourself, "well perhaps one more" and over and over again, believe me, this method RARELY ever works. Say you’re playing on slots, have an amount set aside prior to beginning your action. DO NOT exceed that limit, no matter how appealing. If you happen to succeed, put that in a separate cup. Do not use your successes no matter what. Once you’ve gambled through your primary set limit, call it a day. Head out, regardless if it is on the web or at a land-based casino, don’t stick around. Always remember, there will be another day, a different time.

Remember, gambling is assumed to be exciting not exhausting, sickening work! If you are not having fun yourself, you do not belong there. If youcan’t afford the cost, do not even begin.
