Today I experience this ill feeling although am okay now but I thought I should share my experience and thought with some of the gamblers here to see if we are on the same page.
I made a very wrong decision on a game I staked today and this is unlike me because I don't normally check on my games until its settled because sometimes you will tempted with some crazy things like cash-out which is what I did today and although you won't blame me to some extent but still if I was patient enough as the final results if the games came through and Instead of winning the whole money, I got only a fraction of the funds.
When you gamble, you don't anticipate that much, but what you do is instead wish for the wins to come your way, when the wins didn't come, you gamble again and again without even looking back to just how much you've already lost trying to chase that bag, eventually you lose your shit, and then you lose your mind. and when that shit happens to you, you're already halfway there towards Gambling Addiction land. When you're more controlled and tempered however, you're unfazed by the losses and hence in a better mindset to play, that even when you do lose money you're not that eager to get it back, what you're in it was the thrill and the fun of it, and nothing more.
Sure, in some situations patience could help a lot, but it's not patience that distinguishes the good gamble from a bad one, it's self-control and knowing that you have your own limits to never go overboard of or else you're risking yourself to more trouble.
