I guess the most difficult part in gambling would be for gamblers to control their own emotions, I often see big whale gamblers losing their cool in the casinos once they goes on a long losing streak and they still kept on betting with their martingale strategy until they realize their previous winnings and initial deposit are gone within a short period of time due to their impulsiveness on betting.
That's why patience is necessary because in order not to be too hasty in betting even though in the end you will lose, but at least enjoy the game to the end, I have never found another strategy other than martingale which I think is reasonable and easy to use, it's just hard to control myself to stop when already won. many who experience consecutive losses because they try to keep betting end up losing.
I often experience consecutive losses when I feel dissatisfied with winning the previous consecutive wins, that's why the casino makes us keep playing until the end, control our emotions and stop when we have experienced consecutive losses so as not to run out of capital as a whole. that's a tough one to do.
Truly, patience can act as a buffer in betting scenarios, nudging us towards considered steps over hasty or gluttonous gambles. You refer to the martingale scheme - a no-nonsense, venerable strategy. However, as you pinpoint, our struggle to harness self-restraint and identify when to gather our gains often undercuts its success.
Sequential losses can become a quagmire, especially when enticed by prior triumphs, leading us to overextend. It's a bitter pill for bettors – realizing when to retire. So, persist in honing your self-control, aiming for a harmony between the betting thrill and preserving your capital.
