We often think, deep down, that we can control how we win. No matter how many proof we are presented with that the casino always wins we always think that we can overthrow this theory that applies to everyone. Then it gets justified when we actually win so we will continue playing thinking we can actually decide when to win.
I see your point winning can make us blind. In those moments, we dive in deeper, gamble more, and often lose perspective. Recently, I’ve been playing with a simple approach: aiming for just a 10% profit each day and cashing out. To my surprise, over the last two weeks I haven’t had a single losing day. It feels almost too easy to consistently take small profits from the casino.
The trouble comes when the focus shifts to doubling or tripling your funds. That’s when it gets tricky, the odds turn against you, and losses pile up. To protect myself, I’ve built a rule: if I lose 50% of my deposit, I stop immediately. That way, even if I have one bad day, I still walk away with a net profit of 50%.
The mindset makes all the difference. If you treat gambling like a business, with discipline and clear rules, you can manage risk. But if you treat it as a shortcut to get rich, you’re bound to face the harsh consequences.
