The problem is this is easier said than done. Self-control is definitely something that is difficult especially for those who are always in the mood and rely on such things in gambling.
We often say self-control but sometimes when gambling is done and we have lost quite a lot, things like that will forget by themselves because we have been carried away by emotions.
I cannot agree more, I can attest to that, saying self-control is very easy but applying it during the game is not. Gambling games is addictive and easy to get hooked by them. I also experience the things when I got too hooked on gambling that I spend all the money in my bankroll where originally I mean to spend it for 4 sessions. Since the game became intense, I failed to stop even though my mind say to stop lol. I always say to myself to have self-control but sometimes it failed to work.
Just set your own limits, no excuses if you go past the limit consider it a loss at that point regardless of any game report you cannot consider gambling capital thats not available as any kind of win.
A really good piece of advice, accepting it as a loss enables us to avoid chasing losses. This kind of acceptance made me move forward and restart my gambling session as if nothing happens before.
Getting over your financial limits will lead to higher risk level of chasing losses that can lead to taking a loan. After busting loan amount and deposit, you have to either chase loss or sell something valuable for paying back loan. At the first place, gambler shouldn't deposit money he can't afford to lose, controlling your limits and good management skills also don't guarantee you will be able to make a profit since it is called gambling for a reason.
Depends on how we react to the incident of getting past our financial limit. If we accept it and made it learning then we can avoid a higher risk level of chasing losses. Just like what STT stated, consider it as a loss and accept it.
