it should also reasonable in setting a budget that is not huge you should not using percentage on it you should set like $50 and you family should aware on it so that they can check on you time to time . If in physical casino you should only bring cash and not card and just enough money for your budget for playing. Above all it is really best to have self discipline on your self so that no matter how much your budget is you cant still loss it all

.-.But the problem is that most gamblers are hiding in their closet while playing
and this is the reason why many of them are turning into addicted one and yes a loser, instead of telling people around them so there will be guidance .

..they chose not and they maintain their silence in playing , and this is not how we treat gambling because if does? then we will be a complete loser all our life
and the saddest part is one day we will lose everything and even our own life.
learn to gamble with control and you will be fine .

While I agree with all of it, I must say that having some drinks while doing almost anything just makes things better, specially with friends. It enhances the experience, but makes it very easy to spend more than one has planned in the budget.

So one of my recommendations would be to only take the money of the budget to the casino if one plans to drink alcohol or accept drinks provided by the house, so in case one lose some control over the decision making capabilities, still there will be no money to gamble beyond the budget. Leave credit cards and jewelry at home. Tongue

try to never have any substance while playing , because this affect our decision making , be a natural gambler and always be in control.

Actually that is also the reason why free drinks offered in casino houses , so there will be chance that dizziness will take place and gamblers will be uncontrollable .

I am aware that casino usually offer free drinks as bonuses to gamblers so they will be more likely to gamble more. But in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having a little bit of alcohol while gambling (slots, dices, roulette), if we consider gambling as an experience which is supposed to be entertainment, then if drinking a bit enhances the fun, it is okey.

I understand your point mate but we also knew that most gamblers(those who are literally gambled) are mostly the type of person that cannot hold their eagerness.
meaning like how they cannot manage to leave the table when are still having money in their pocket , this is also how they will not carry to have one sip in alcohol, meaning they will continue drinking (and that is the objective of the casino to let us drunk) so they will not have a best decision because of alcohol .

Perhaps, we could argue that is a different case in games like Black Jack or Poker, since there is actual strategy or decision making involved, unlike other casino games which only depend on randomness.

indeed , strategy and skills are there but like what the upper part of discussion , it is the liquor/alcohol that will change our mindset and our strategy , and yes I have proven this many times before lol Grin
