Self-control is very important and anyone who have the character of self-control, make it very easy for such a person to leave successfully with others and be able to avoid some things such as gambling addictions and other addiction that may affect individual life negatively.
Gambling addiction is one serious negative factor that affects the overall acceptance of gambling in many places but if an individual has self-control then the case will be easy to deal with because there have been an increasing number of gambling addiction behavioural patterns among many recently.
That's the reason why as a gambler we need to know first our self-control and self-limitations. Because there are two effects of gambling the positive one and the negative one and we all aware of that. Cause beyond our limitations then we can not control our self such us we bet out of our plan then that's the time called that that we obsessed with gambling and if we can not control that then it will lead us to addiction.
High self-awareness is an ability that everyone must have, especially if they are active gamblers because without that ability, gamblers will only bring themselves down because the expectations they have for the results of their gambling do not match the reality that is happening. i once met someone who came out of the casino and still put on a relaxed face even though he had lost a lot, when I asked what the secret was, he became self-aware because i was ready for whatever happened to my gambling today whether i would lose or win.
Well, you are mostly right, one of the outstanding benefits of being aware of self in gambling is that it helps a gambler deal with losses easily, like the man you said came out of a gambling casino with a smiling face, there are times where by I start feeling really angry couple of hours after ending a gambling session, simply due to loses I incurred in that session, it simply means I wasn't really aware of myself while I was gambling., I started feeling angry after I came back to my senses - this is how many gamblers operate, I've come across a lot them like that.
The earlier you do make out those realizations the better because if you do find yourself that being that blind and tolerating your spending without even trying to look on how much you've been spending. Then for sure you would really be having that disastrous situation in regarding finances. You should really always have that set a border line or fine line about or speaking about limitation because we know that
if things turns out to be messy then if you have spent out all of your money in gambling then sooner or later you would be finding out that you dont have something to pull on your pocket
and even spending up your life savings. This is where the problem starts to kick in.
People would really be only making out those self realizations on the time that they are on a hard situation on which it isnt really that something shocking in correlating this stuff or something that
connects in real life situations.
