A question to slots players out there, have you ever felt the uncontrollable urge to gamble after exposing yourself to slots games for a long period of time? How did you manage to keep sane after being exposed to the most addictive gambling game in the industry?
If you say losing $10k in slots while my reasoning is fully aware that I shouldn't do that during the game session is considered uncontrollable urge then I can say yes to the first question. I have that money reserved for something else, but busted them all in a slot games. I still regretted it until now coz life would have been a bit easier if I had put it where it should be. I am glad it is all ok at my end now since I am able to recover that $10k from other means(job, investment, trading) though it took me more than a year to recover that fund.
I considered myself lucky because I am able to wake up from the hypnotic attraction of slots. Maybe the lack of fund partially helped too since I have to stop before I made anymore mistake. Staying away or giving myself a break is one of the method I use to keep myself sane.
