This is what I sometimes feel because it is a bit difficult in the end when we try to stop when we have made a profit because we are too confident that this is a good momentum to make a big profit so that we forget the limits that we have planned from the beginning where we have to start and stop. Because of ambition and sometimes self-confidence like this that makes the initial planning about several aspects of gambling such as the financial arrangements that we have in the balance, playing limits and several other things are simply forgotten.

Even today I feel the same way where I should have made a profit that was actually quite large but instead the situation turned around and I lost some of the profits I made before, although I still made a profit but compared to before I lost focus because of my ambition my profit was ultimately much less now.

Controlling our emotion is really the hardest thing to do in gambling whether you're winning or losing. You get high hopes that you will hit the jackpot when you're having win streaks. You forget how to stop and quit because your inner self tells you to bet more until you don't realize your profit already is all gone.

Gambling is a game of luck. We should learn to be firm on following our plan or strategy in gambling. If we manage to win early, we should not desire for more thinking that it is our lucky day. Casinos are programmed to always win, if we play longer after some win streaks then there is a high chance the next bets you will have will lose.

It is very difficult to do but at the end of the day it is not impossible but there has to be more coercion on oneself to be able to keep and control oneself within the boundaries of what we should not cross.
It's things like this that are difficult and I admit I also have difficulty doing this, not that every time I gamble I do the same thing but at some moments sometimes when gambling is at an intense level we sometimes forget this which is a foundation that we still have to maintain in order to stay on the path of good and responsible gambling.

In the end sometimes what we say sometimes actually backfires where we will be very easy to say self-limitation, responsibility and control but in application things like this will be much more difficult than we imagined before.
