strategies that rely on discipline will work for those with good control but won't work for the majority
I know this is harsh but it's true
most people will prefer easy dopamine and not a lot of effort if they can choose.
It's also good for us to accept gambling as it is, if not, we will only have the wrong notion about it and a mindset like this will only put gamblers into trouble. The way forward is to have gambling plans and to manage our ways to success. We should also ensure we work on our discipline. This is very important because no matter what we know and how we plan to gamble, if we let it lose, emotion will surely creep in, and that can't end nicely.
pure gambling needs no special skills apart learning to manage bankroll (maybe the big skill on gambling) and knowing when to stop
I agree that if you let emotions take control this can be dangerous and you may end up losing a lot, but this is often much easier said than done, what are some of the tools and exercises you do to keep calm and avoiding emotion to rule?
