Don’t we all know that greed leads to losses in gambling? That greed kicks in when we don’t set a target making us keep playing even when we’re already up, until our luck runs out and we end up losing. Can’t we see that? Maybe that’s the reason we don’t win because we don’t know when to stop.
I’m sure the regular gamblers here have experienced this before -- that moment when you say to yourself, "I should’ve just stopped… I could’ve walked away with my profits."
Who can relate?
At this point I felt I should stop but being greedy I was tempted to continue for longer because my friends tempted me to play more so that I could win more. The moment I won I should have left the place which most gamblers understand but cannot do. The addiction to earn more or the desire for more entertainment or the instigation of friends. Most of the reasons why I failed to stop gambling are probably familiar to gamblers. If he can identify his failure it will be easier to control himself. Moreover self-control helps him to determine the necessary strategy.
