in order to Win in gambling, you must have self control and before even playing must have a Escape plan .
You know when to play and you know when to stop.
I don't understand the word escape plan, I mean if we are in control in gambling, we know what we are doing and we can stop anytime we want.
Escape plan are good for gamblers who are force to gamble and they have a problem controlling themselves, and these are problematic gamblers which I believe people with discipline will never be in this situation.
Probably what he means is to have some way to overcome addiction in the case you are unable to control yourself, but to me this seems like backwards reasoning, the person that can control his gambling does not have any need for an escape plan as he is able to stop gambling whenever he wants, and the one that knows that he has an addictive personality should avoid gambling at all costs as it does not matter what kind of backup plan he sets in place this will fail if he is motivated enough to keep gambling.
