It's easy to tell yourself "I will stop after I've won this one". But I think one just needs a certain control over gambling as it can be addictive.
Actually this is wrong. If you tell yourself "stop after X scenario", brain will send the command to do completely different. And this is not only in gambling. Every experienced opening a can of Pringles, saying just one last chip and later finding yourself with an empty can? Or opening a bag of skittles and taking just one candy? We are always trying to lie to ourselves. In gambling, this lie is multiplied with greed, and this "I will stop" only triggers to play more. Because "I will stop" with 99.9% variability is used when you are already loosing, and nobody wants to be a looser.
A person who do have a good control on himself is the ones to those who could completely stop midway or immediately if he wanted to yet not all are really having that kind of behavior
on which majority do really fail on doing so.They do only stop when there's something bad happen to them or do experience out some hardships in life.
If you dont like to lose your hard earned money then you shouldnt play gambling or making yourself some involvement because that would surely
the things which cant be taken back.
The reasoning on this topic is absolutely correct, but the whole difficulty lies in the ability of a particular person with a certain temperament and character of the psyche.
Someone is able to stop almost instantly even in a state when he is completely in the grip of the excitement of the game, all in "adrenaline". But there are very few such people.
And so almost everyone continues to play and lose further.
And such people simply do not have the willpower that can stop them. I think such people are more than 90% of all inhabitants of the planet. And all our advice and reasoning here in the topic will not change anything for them. Most people will play and lose anyway.
And casinos will continue to exist comfortably and earn
Thats why gambling is a very profitable business due to the fact that people are way too impulsive on dealing with gambling which its not surprising that they do commonly having these kind of conditions
which would really result into this thats why its better to be that self remindful about on the actions you are making and as i said earlier that if you dont like to bust up your hard earned money
or doesnt like to blown out in seconds then you shouldnt have gambled on the first place because this thing would really be putting you into bigger trouble.
