Decipline is a must when it comes gambling , wherein if you have consecutive loss and massive losses then stop playing for the mean time and look for something that can get your attentions so that you can get away from the temptations to try playing again.. and tbh for me i believe there's a lot of way to cure addiction , and its about how to change our mindset in order to forget such things especially it's for the meantime only? It will be basic if we will make a move for it and not just complaining around. Just saying
That is instructive and very important but difficult to do and this is the reason that some gamblers will resort to drinking when they lose. Usually, to forget that you have lost a potential huge winning especially narrowly, you will need to go out of your comfort zone or avoid staying lonely because of thinking about the loses and the money involved. Therefore, a gambler needs discipline to take certain decisions whether at the time of loses and when you win. For example, it is discipline that will make you take a break after a losing streak and also it is discipline that will make you caution yourself from over spending when you win.
Such control is needed as you don't want to keep regretting your actions, there are gamblers who become more aggressive when losing their bets and instead of quitting they did choose to engage more and add more money, only to realize that at the end of the day most the outcome also a failed attempts to recover as they play with aggressions they don't have any clear views just to put their and hoping that luck will permits them to win and recover or win some from the next try that they do.
I have experienced that aggression a couple of times and u must tell you that it's not something to wish even an enemy.
Gambling for money is really a hideous task specially when the outcome is not what is expected, I've had several experiences where I am gambling and losing, and I feel like just quiting, but something kept on pushing me to keep going that the losing streak will soon be over, and that with just one good win, I will recover all that I've lost and even make some profits.
I tell you that when a gambler arrives at this stage, it take extra discipline for that gambler will leave game while he or she still has money to continue to play, I know this because each time it happened to me, I never was able to stop playing until I was completely broke with no any source of getting more money to keep playing, at this point, I usually will be left with no choice but to quit and regret not quiting earlier.
