This usually where it starts. If you are a beginner, then im sure 80% of it starts with peer pressure. Friends who are addict on gambling needs some companion because some get their comfidence to them. Some also make them as a last resort and borrow money to them. But if you have control,notging can beat you up.
Controlling yourself should be done first before you gamble because you should know that its too risky to gamble and if you continue to do that, its hard to leave the casinos because of the pressure of course. Learn to stop when you got profit and most especially know when to exit if you dont have much money now to play. We should learn to control our emotion to save us from losing bit money.
Most of the time we are hearing or reading such things like controlling emotions can help us up avoiding to be addicted and too much engage with such activities, we can take some extra advantages if we know when to stop and when to play with some good edge,
but when in such situations its really hard
to make an easy decision, so having a concrete plans before dealing with gambling is the best way to stop at the right time never to let your entire bankroll to be burned forcing you to sell out something or to barrow more.
Yes that is correct, it's really hard to make that decision because your emotions is playing with you. And as much as you wanted to quit, your mind tell's otherwise so it's really very very difficult to really control specially when you're losing and seeing that your bankroll is slowly going to 0. But I don't know about borrowing money though just to gamble because I haven't try that. I take money in a casino that I can afford to lose so if ever I get busted, I can quickly go home and fight another day.
