Staying aware is not easy to do, especially in gambling because when we play gambling, we can forget the time we have spent playing and the amount of money we also use to gamble.
Maybe the loss will not be big, but if we lose control and don't realize it in the end, then the amount of money can also increase.
That's why we really have to pay attention to ourselves and don't continue playing gambling, whatever the outcome, if we really care about money, time, and ourselves.
It can help us to stay away from addiction too.
Therefore, the best way of financial self-control is to send to the casino only the money for which you are going to play today and not to keep a deposit there. If you lose your daily budget and lose control, you will not be able to continue playing immediately as you will have to make a new deposit. Perhaps this short pause will give time to calm down and stop playing.
It's a good way to reduce the risk of spending too much money because the temptation from the casino will be even greater no matter what results in we get.
If we can win money from the game, we should withdraw the winning money as soon as possible and not continue the game because it can trigger us to use more money.
After we suffer a defeat, it's better to stop immediately and calm down, like you said to relieve tension after playing.
At least multiply to stop for a moment so you can still control yourself.
