Nothing beats strong discipline in gambling, plans only follow.
Well, that could be a good approach to avoiding spending but then the ultimate question is, how many percentage gamblers really can control ther urge when there are at a crossroads where there need to make decisions as to whether pull back when their budget is exhausted or to continue to chase the loses.
This have become the most challenging aspect of gambling and that is why we always advocate gambling responsibly because the gambling urge is not easy to control especially when money is at stake and I think the best possible thing to do is to gamble just for fun and not for the profit or hitting a jackpot.
