When you go gambling, only bring enough money with you. Bring only those that you plan to play. Leave those plastic ATM cards at home to avoid temptation of withdrawing from machines and if online make sure its out of reach. Also leave those credit cards too, sometimes we are tempted to use the cash advance function.
It is good idea to limit yourself, but the best thing is being able to control yourself during the gambling.
Right.Set up your limits and be sure to follow them acocordingly.You won't really make a huge loss in gambling if you know to control yourself.If you have been losing in gambling in the first place,then do not wish to play again because you will only make series of losses.Let's say you are just unlucky that day.
