Everything
you bet is real money and anything in front of you is your money
- don't forget!
Even
the most cynical gambler is still betting against the house edge.
Everything about the atmosphere in the casino is designed to part
you from your money. There are no clocks to remind you how much
time you're wasting, there is an endless supply of alcohol to confuse
your judgement, you play with chips which seem deceptively unlike
real money, and all paths lead to the casino and anything else is
difficult to find. The successful
gambler must not be fooled by these distractions. Everything you
bet is real money and anything in front of you is your money. Even
the most cynical gambler is still betting against the house edge.
Long term you just can't win. The objective of gambling should be
to have fun and to stretch the bankroll as far as possible. There are numerous
ways to betting money. If you don't want to deviate far from your
starting point then I would recommend flat betting. If you want
a high probability of a modest win, at the cost of occasional big
losses, then you should bet more after each loss until you win.
If you want the opposite, an occasional big win at the cost of many
small loses, then you should bet more after each win until you lose.
For those who
sometimes lose too much and later regret their actions some self-constraints
may be in order. I would suggest setting a specific loss point in
these cases, for example $200.
Gambling is something that is easily
abused in excess, so take it in moderation.
Enjoy! |
