Seven Deadly Sins in Gambling

whiskey, cigar, and cards

It is expected to lose at casinos. Many people get upset by this phrase, but it is right, whatever sellers of betting systems, gambling software, and books about casino "secrets" might say. Frequent failures are an integral part of any gambling.

Only a few players can make profits in the long run. Most casino visitors sooner or later lose some part of their bankroll. It is especially true for those who play roulette, slots, and other casino games with high levels of the house edge.

While some players lose large sums, others enjoy playing at casinos and lose no more than a couple of percent of their bankrolls.

Losers are unsuccessful because they have become slaves of very bad habits that we call gaming sins.

You can not rely on good results in casino games without getting rid of even one of them. Let's look at them in detail.

Drinking Alcoholic Beverages

To enjoy a drink, go outside of the casino.

Forget the ridiculous saying about casino luck for drunks and beginners.

Of course, even gamblers who can not say their name or barely sit on a chair sometimes win, but there are no proven patterns. Either alcohol or gambling - never mix them.

Relying on Intuition

Intuition in the casino must play a secondary role. It should not be relied upon even in games where you can not affect the results, like slots or roulette.

You should always adhere to the scheduled plan or basic strategy, if available, for the game. If intuition contradicts mathematics and common sense, it will lead to bankruptcy on the shortest road.

Making High Bets

Professional blackjack players go to the casino with a bankroll for several hundred bets. In other words, if a card counter starts at five dollars, he will not play without a bankroll of several thousand dollars.

Have you ever bet a hundred dollars when you had a thousand in your bankroll? It was a significant risk. You hoped to hit the jackpot. Such a strategy usually leads to bankruptcy. 

Chasing Losses

Before visiting the casino, you must always determine the amount you can afford to lose. You can not exceed it—the desire to recoup means violating this rule. If you do so - you will lose more and more often.

Bring no more money than you need. Never borrow. And leave with a win.

Playing Unfamiliar Games for Money

Many casino visitors (usually those who play online) learn new games on bets for money. It is a gross error.

All good online places allow you to play in the training mode. Do not neglect this opportunity.

Problem Gambling

Some people think that gambling addiction has too much noise. However, it does exist.

  1. Learn to stop!
  2. Do not play if you feel tired!
  3. Do not make gambling the main hobby!
  4. Do not look at it as an escape from problems and depression!

You should stop for a while at the slightest sign of gambling addiction!

Playing in Unreliable Casinos

Visiting a casino, you have to be sure of its fairness. What is good in winning if you can not get the money? Rogue joints will not pay you winnings.

Select new casinos very carefully. Read reviews on Casinoz, learn the T&C, check the license, and talk to the customer support.

Collect as much information as possible before you make your first deposit.
