It's too easy to say "just be self-disciplined."
Nobody knows all his inner demons. We perfectly see the weaknesses of others and their examples from life are always obvious and simple for us, but in fact we ourselves have neither the ability to look at ourselves from the outside nor self-control. Imagine that you won a large sum with the first bet.
Will your inner state remain the same?
I wrote that it's better to keep friends around, or write down your limit, or have only cash. The next time I go to the casino, I will definitely follow these rules, because you need to be especially strict with yourself.

You get the point. Implementing "self-discipline" is not easy for most people. I often experience this, not only in gambling but also in trading matters. Often I violate what I have set before gambling/trading. In gambling, when we lose and greed becomes a "demon" that makes us break the rules we made for ourselves before gambling. When we are losing, we should stop, but the real conditions is adding deposit to gamble again. But in winning moments, when we should to stop and happy with that amount, we want more till lose again. If it happens, self-discipline no longer applies anymore. Our inner demons is the winner to control us.
