I have been gambling on the internet or at real life gambling halls for a lot of years. I have found out, the addiction usually will acquire a hold of you and you won’t even see it until you are beaten. Especially if you are on a winning streak. I have been through uncounted thousands of clams in a very tiny period of time and even today, I sometimes go too far. It seems you are just having a blast until you decide to track your losses and the guilt sets in, and then you continue telling yourself "I could win it back" at length. It never works. Then you feel sick to your gut and the more you attempt the more rapidly you relinquish.

When you see that you are ahead, STAY Ahead! When you start to lose, don’t tell yourself, "well only maybe 1 more" and again and again, believe in me, this scheme barely ever works. Say you are betting on slot machines, keep an amount set aside ahead of starting your gambling. DO NOT go over this cap, no matter how appealing. If you happen to gain, put the winnings in a different canister. Don’t bet your earnings at any cost. After you have played through your initial determine limit, stop. Leave, regardless if it is on the internet or in a brick and mortar gambling den, don’t stay at the tables or machines. At all times remember, there certainly is another day, another time. Obviously, this scheme can work for any game that you bet on, be it bingo, poker, video poker, keno, chemin de fer or any other game.

Remember, betting is supposed to be FUN not burdensome, sickening work! If you are not enjoying yourself, you do not belong there. If you cannot pay for the loss, do not even start.
