I can relate to this very much
I get bored after 20 or 30 minutes and I might bet it all.
. What I have learned to do is change my habits and I also asked my husband to kick me when he sees me going into one of these "MODES". (the stupidity bored mode that is) and start betting all my winnings back.
I play slots and build it up (when I can) then leave and go to the "track online" to get a little change of pace, bet a few races (win most of the time and cashout when my hubby says so) then I go back to the slots and have funds to play again...
I really do need to be reminded to stop when I start doing the stupid things (as a lot of us know we need this) even tho I KNOW I am doing it, I just do it even more..thank goodness my hubby checks in on me every once in a while asking me how I am doing,
I guess you just have to have the proper balance
and I tell him the truth, whether I am up or down, and he keeps me grounded and says "CASHOUT NOW" and I say , thank you.
He is my best friend when it comes to gambling online for he knows when to make me stop, ( he sees STUPID on my forehead at times) and I love him enough to do just that. STOP.
Any gambler knows that having an anchor and using one is very important and if they have this, gambling will be much more enjoyable in the long run, just finding your anchor to help keep your feet on the ground for sharing the winnings is twice as exciting than it is to win alone, in a room with just a computer and a screen and losing is only half as bad when sharing it with someone that cares and understands.
