Question, why do we gamble, and then lose and still continue to gamble.
I believe its somehat of a sickness, a rush/thrill of the winning, and some how you try and hope to get that thrill/rush again, but only get it sometimes.
When a gambler wins, man oh man, its all good, but then when they lose, some swear, "i'll NEVER GAMBLE AGAIN"
But eventually, they're at it again, and again, again.
Take a look at the slots, what exactly are on the minds of the players, are they seeing the main jackpot and sit there waiting for it, Some times the machines puts you in a trance, and you sit there and play and play, and play, there's all the fancy lights and sounds that keep you there.
Roulette - I play, ( you always win) but you just have to know when to WALK AWAY - QUIT even if you're up 20 bucks, just wlk away. Just remember, the house have a lot more chips than you do. THEY make their chips.
My thing is, if I play and some time in the period that i'm playing my quarters/dollars whatever, I win a few or alot, I'll play what amount of dollars/quarters etc I had in my hand and then Q U IT, you have to, if you continue, you're guarenteed to be a loser at the end.
