"if you want to make money with gambling, own the casino" is a proverb I can never get over with, when I first came across this proverbs, I think I paused and read it over and over again for over 10 times or more, and I think this indeed overly changed my initial perspective or perception concerning gambling.
It is particularly true that we are mostly in gambling to make money, and not entirely to have fun, but just as you have correctly said it, it is still very important for us to trick our minds to believe that we are doing it to have fun, this is actually very important for our well-being, it is the same as believing that a money is lost before it's actually lost, one doesn't feel too bad since he or she only lost money that was already lost, this are things we trick our minds to believe, so that we can ultimately enjoy gambling, and even if at the end of the day, we do not win anything, we don't regret it that much.
Actually, we or I can accept this idea, the only problem is that we will involve emotions in the game session and don't forget about that. Emotions will form when we have a gambling session, when we try to trick our own minds, but not with emotions. Let's just say we are in a bad week, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on the defeats we get, a feeling will arise that forms the emotion of anger. and, it can appear suddenly, especially when we are in the disappointment phase. losing, again and again.
I apologize in advance, that the facts are not as easy as we say. maybe we can overcome it once in a while, but if it happens repeatedly, it will still become a problem for our gambling. today we will, tomorrow too, the day after tomorrow and so on maybe. We never know when the right time will be to win, and defeat is certain. but it's not wrong if you try it, and maybe it will be effective for someone, even most gamblers. but not for me, I like to play as naturally as possible. without the need to deceive our minds, we know exactly what is actually happening. But, for once, there is no problem with this idea. In fact, it's okay to try and test. It's just that for me personally, it's no different from self-control. After all, basically, we will practice during betting sessions. Whether it is effective or not depends on each person or situation.
