Of course when I look back on my first experience with this industry, I admit I felt proud and happy when I first tasted victory. Admittedly, it fueled my desire to play even more, and I whispered to myself that I already knew the casino weaknesses. But that feeling led me closer to addiction. As a beginner, I didn't know how to discipline myself, and manage my bankroll; I only knew how to play. But slowly, over time, I realized that this place wasn't meant to provide me with long term wins. It was simply a temporary stopover for entertainment.
