That's if you are not even addicted to gambling already, a addicted gambler always have one goal in mind, '( I have to make back all I have lost ), this is where the beginning of the end begins.
This is the case with most desperate gamblers, gambling isn't a profession, its just for fun and that's what everyone going into it should understand even before engaging.
As soon as desperation sets in, you're destined for doom cos you're blinded from all angles and can't even see that you're sinking or that its not a good day for you. In gambling, there are good days as well as bad days. When you're in your good days and winning well, you recover and get good gains, but when the bad day starts, your ability to recognize it early enough and quit it momentarily saves you from desperation which arises from losing too much and a deadly inner drive to recover all you've lost instantly before taking a break. We know too well that this doesn't always go as planned leaving the victim utterly frustrated.
