Why don't we stop? I get to that point where I think, OK..next time EVEN IF I DOUBLE my money (even if its $50 to $100) I'll cash out.
And just thinking of that mentality...a friend of mine plays local poker tournaments..you know, just small stuff, but regardless its wins. Like she might start off with $10 or $25 and win $250 and be as happy as can be.
And I'm thinking...Ok..and I asked her, does anyone ever win anything big, like over $1,000?
I'm no high-roller by any means, and there's times I'd be glad to have $40.
As far as online gambling, I don't know if its not being able to get the money in hand right away and walk away or what. Or if you just want to keep playing to have fun, and hope for more and more. Sometimes I wish it could lock itself after you win a certain amount and not let you play till its been processed and paid out to you.
I don't get to the point where I'm depressed about it, but it just seems like I wish I could control myself, and be happier about walking away with ANY profit/win.
And comp wins, especially..where you turn a $10 comp into over $100. I try to make excuses to myself like "well, its money I never had in the first place". But then I think (and I know this is extreme), its also like someone giving you $1000 to start your own business, you manage to turn it into a multi-million dollar empire, and because of poor money management/decisions, it folds and goes right down the drain.
Any thoughts on this...at least so I don't feel completely alone in my insanity of this issue...I appreciate it!
