Our whole life is a series of black and white streaks. Unfortunately, in betting, as in any other industry, there is no escaping defeats, which, at times, cannot even be logically comprehended. Once you’ve noticed that you’ve developed a serious addiction and are losing far more than your family can afford, give up the entertainment; you won’t get any money or enjoyment out of it.
Gambling addiction develops incredibly fast and the most important thing in this matter is not to miss the moment. When the urge is stronger than you – ask your loved ones for help, hand over all your savings and credit cards to your family and delete your bookmaker accounts. Almost all bookmakers today offer a service called self-exclusion – use this as a last resort.
If the situation is under control, it is time to prepare yourself for the losses, which, as practice shows, are inevitable.
Take a minute to rest
In betting, gambling, poker, and indeed in any field where losing is a possibility, the most dangerous thing for participants is the time that immediately follows a loss. Once you’ve made a serious gamble on a line that seemed certain to bring in a good profit, the urge to bet recklessly to win it back is disastrous. Emotions are a bad advisor in the world of gambling, it is very rare to win with them.
The desire to win back is quite natural, but you should not give in to it uncontrollably. Don’t get too hot, because betting should not be seen as a source of stable profits. So, you cannot, in principle, have any kind of norm for winning. The main thing is to keep yourself in check and think as sensibly as possible.
Changes in Tactics
For players who haven’t made a real profit with their chosen strategy for a very long time, here’s a simple tip: abandon the old strategy in favour of something new. Novelty always means new experiences and new horizons, so why not try it now?
Take control of your money
In fact, if it does happen, and you get hit by losses, you need to minimise the amount of money you’re betting. That way you can kill two birds with one stone – you can cut costs until you regain confidence and, it should be said, until Fortune returns.
The player’s natural inclination is to do the exact opposite, to increase the betting amount very much in order to get back what is already lost. The outcome in such cases can only be one – addiction and bankruptcy.
What is the result?
Make the minimum number of bets and remain cautious along with sobriety of your own thoughts. Back-to-back bets are not for you after big losses, as they can really take a toll on your budget. In order to get out of a losing streak, it is worth continuing to play in leagues that the player is proficient in. Unfortunately, such simple recommendations are not always followed, which leads to unfortunate consequences.
