One thing with uncontrolled gambling quest is that it won't stop giving hopes of recovering losses until the last dime is lost. This is not just about gambling an amount you can afford to lose but more on self control to know when to stop. The debt has to paid which ever way.
That will be the matter at most times for all of us gamblers, we think of recovery every time we're losing and that's going to give us a result that is hard to accept.
Self control is going with the action that we have in every situation that we face and sometimes those suggestions are hard to follow because we're reacting normally as we face those situations that we don't like.
The bad side of this is when you experienced some win, you will think that you are now on a winning streak,
instead of stopping after you recover, you'll think that you are going to win big, or you wanted to try more hoping that luck
will continue to show up and let you win your bets.
You will realize that you made that wrong decision once everything already loses and you don't have any penny to continue
you betting.
