In my honest opinion, the smartest way on being a gambler is not to be so greedy on betting. I always believe that if you win some you will definitely loose some,... So better, set some goals on your side. If you think you have already loosed enough, Better stop and say for yourself. I am off for today, Better luck next time.
Your suggestion is very smart but we cannot put spirit on this one if we don't implement it while in gambling, it need a lot of discipline to be successful in a risky game like gambling.greediness in gambling is avoidable. once you've entered gambling you will always expecting of positive side and that is winning. don't be so fool to yourself, we all want to win in gambling. @cecelady
@zooplus, well be matured enough when playing gambling because once you've start become greediness all what you want is to win and gain profit and i guess some of us can't control themselves. but you were also right that we all need a lot of discipline when it comes in gambling and also know our limitations.
Does not matter how smart you are, if you are really smart then you should play poker.
