To buttress your point, taking a break immediately after you feel emotional towards gambling whether you are greedy when you are winning more or have just lost and feel down is the right approach in a situation like this, there is always another day to try. Trying to continue playing at that time will certainly put the gambler into more trouble. I learned this secret in trading and when I started gambling, it was a work over for me. Our minds of gambling matter so much more than the money we intend to gain, it may not be easy at first but with a strong mind of believing that it's best we continue the next day will always help us to overcome the pressing temptation of gambling more that could result in more losses. For this to be helped further, having good gambling plans matters, after all, plans would have guided us to know the right time to call it quit as we would have known the maximum amount we can lose per session and how many times we are entitled to gamble the whole sum budgeted for the session.
Overcoming the temptation to gamble further requires strong willpower. Which skill, most gamblers don't care about possessing. Making money has eaten deeply into the minds of gamblers such that nothing else matters. Emotional moments come with pressure to take action.
The gambler now must follow the right decision. Unfortunately, the pressure pushes some players toward the wrong side of their thoughts. They'll consider how sad it'll be to forgo all their lost money. So, the player tries harder to replenish what he's lost.
