The Seven Habits of Highly Unsuccessful Gamblers
by Michael Shaye from Winner Online.com
There are seven things all players have done at one time or another to ensure they left the casino down before they even turned on their computer. They're the Seven Habits of Highly Unsuccessful Gamblers -- each one a proven way to give money to the casino.
1 ♠ Drinking ♠
How can online casinos afford to hand out cash bonuses like candy? Because they don't offer you drinks. It's no secret drinking impairs your judgment, yet players insist on having that extra cocktail. There is nothing wrong with indulging in your favorite beverage while enjoying blackjack after a hard day's work. But drink to excess and you'll lose your wits, you patience and your money. Know when you've had enough.
2 ♠ Chasing Even Money ♠
Players who chase the dream of breaking even when they are down big are the casino's best friend. Face it, other than to enjoy yourself, you gamble to win money. Set limits before you start playing -- both how much you are willing to lose and how much you realistically think you can win -- then stick to them. If you're cold, turn off the computer and try another day.
3 ♠ Hunch Betting ♠
There's a nickname for hunch betters ~ broke. Hunch bettors ignore the odds and bet on instinct. For games like blackjack and video poker where perfect play is possible, determine perfect play and stick to it. Every time you deviate because you "feel" something good is going to happen, you're giving odds to the house. And the last thing they need is more help taking your money.
