I know exactly your feeling, had this myself many times. Especially during lossing sessions my mind keeps telling me that the winning streak is just around it the corner. If I only play a little longer I would make my money back. Unfortunately this is only wishful thinking and not real. There are no trend in gambling, just because we lost a few games in a row doesn't mean we are going to win now. The first few times I noticed that was I played regularly roulette. Sometimes I would see red numbers 6-7 times in a row coming up, my brain would always tell me now it has to be black. That's wrong, every new game is independent and the chances for Black and Red are exactly the same, the white call has no memory . That is why I stop now rather than gamble more. For me it's helpful to set fixes time slots for gambling and when to take a break. We can always make back the losses on the next day. Only exception is if I play a poker tournament and I manage to get into the money, than I will play until the end.
