It's hard when you are the one that in situation, easy to say that control and discipline are needed, but when you are enjoying or when you feel something that increase the adrenaline inside you, it's a tough call to quit or stop your session, most of the time emotions really dominated your plans, you'll remember about your set limits when there's nothing you can use to play, it's just a simple regret that will remind you of that same mistake that you commit after playing.
There's no doubt about it, it's happened to me many times, but the trick is having the discipline to say I'm not playing anymore, and that's when the money runs out, or at least the money you were willing to spend in the casino If that's the case, you have to have that willpower and discipline.
Yes, we must be able to assess our financial capabilities. We must not gamble beyond our means, such as risking borrowed money. This is wrong behavior, and people who do this are nothing more than addicts, chasing victory for the thrill of it.
You're right, the key is discipline.
Precisely, if you have that good dscipline you can still enjoy without messing with your finances, the thrill and that kind of desire may lead you to keep on chasing but if you do have that discipline and you execute it well then you have a good chance of balancing your engagements to gambling. You need that self-discipline to make sure that you will practice whatever you setup before playing, else, you will messed around.
I will always say it, gambling itself is neutral in all these, it depends on the gambler in the majority of things. Fine, Gambling is risky and addictive, but the majority of the issues we face in it are self-inflicted. And among these self-inflicted issues, I see the management and psychological issues as the most deadly of them. If the two can be well-handled, I am certain that the gambler will be fine.
Now, about the subject matter, it is all about the gambler's psychology, nothing should be done out of the ordinary, and when gamblers gamble, it must be in line with the tailored plan, so that excesses and psychological issues will not creep in.
