Today, I'll talk about the methods to control oneself in the casino.
I've noticed that many players are aware of the need for self-control in gambling, but not everyone can do it well. Through my research, I found that control involves two main aspects: control of bets during the game and control at the end of the game (the former determines how much you can win, while the latter determines your long-term profits and losses).
The most basic self-control skill in gambling is budgeting for your wins and losses. Budgeting for losses can prevent you from losing too much due to impulsiveness, and budgeting for wins allows you to lock in income when you are ahead (you won't risk losing your winnings).
When we enter gambling, we may start winning a lot of money initially, but when we leave, we may end up with nothing. This situation often occurs because we don't want to stop winning and leave with more. However, once we start losing, the desire to recover the losses tends to drive us to keep playing.
In reality, this behavior often leads to only one result in the end – losing. Therefore, setting win and loss limits is crucial during betting, and it requires special attention. Besides setting win and loss limits, another key aspect of self-control in the gambling process is the ability to adjust your bets based on the situation.
One commonly used method of self-control is the flat betting strategy, where you use the same bet size for each wager, for example, $10 each time. The advantage of this method is that the difference between wins and losses is not significant, and the risk is relatively low. However, the drawback is that if you experience consecutive losses, recovering can be challenging. On the other hand, for those seeking excitement, the flat betting strategy may be boring.
Another method is to increase your bets with winnings and reduce them by half with losses. Compared to the flat betting strategy, this method is more likely to result in winnings and is widely adopted. However, if luck is not on your side that day, you may end up making multiple bets in a short time, quickly depleting your gambling budget.
Regardless of the betting strategy, it's crucial to understand that there's no guaranteed way to win. Instead of sticking to a specific betting strategy, it's important to adapt your approach based on different situations. In general, it's advisable to increase bets when winning and average down bets when losing.
In any case, whether you are winning or losing, reaching your loss limit means it's time to leave. Only by doing so can you achieve long-term profitability. |
