APN-JEN asked:
In the past I had lost a lot of money on gambling. Sometimes my friends/family likes to go to the casino and play slots. I like to go, but I let it consume me-especially if I don’t win.

I make enough money that the little that I lose while at the casino does not hurt me…
Any tips on how to enjoy it instead of letting it consume me?

Realize that the casino was not build with the money that people won.
Then take a certain amount with you, leave your credit cards and check book in the car or at home. Set a win limit and a loss limit, pace yourself and enjoy.
Another good rule is to not drink (alcohol) while gambling, it impairs your judgment and that is a bad thing to happen when gambling.

Make it into a social activity. Find a low denomination game, ideally one in which you could care less about the money, and do something that requires you to make some kind of decision, i.e. not slots.
Play where you can talk to your friends and enjoy the free drinks.

the psychology of gambling addiction has to do with ego and self-image. if you have a high opinion of yourself, you have a high risk of being harmed by gambling, even a little.
a large ego can’t endure the feeling of being a “loser.” therefore, they start chasing losing bets and trying to catch up so they can satisfy their ego.
there’s really no way to beat this. all you can do is adjust your money management. if you plan on spending 100, play penny slots.

You need to use discipline when you go to the casino.
First only gamble with money you can afford to lose. and QUIT when you hit your limits.
You should always use a money management system and stick to it. Here is a link to one I use, it can be adapted to any casino game you choose to play.
When you start coming back from the casino with money in your pockets, you will find you had a lot more fun and maybe enjoyed it a bit.
If you cannot stick to a system like this, then you may want to consider giving up gambling at casinos. It is easy to get caught up in it, and it may get worse.
Good luck!

Maybe you could go to the poker tables and give yourself a little DJ scribble under the table. if thats not your thing you could have Pike Neber sit across teh table from you and have him work some majic with his toes.

Today, due to the developments in technology online gambling casinos have been introduced to assist individuals in de-stressing themselves. Just like some individuals enjoy the outdoors and sports, some prefer to stay indoors and log on to the internet. If you are a frequent user of the internet I am sure you would agree with me when I say that there are several opportunities to have fun and make money at the same time, one common example are online gambling casinos.
Its easy to play at any of the online gambling casinos , all you have to do is find a reliable one like this and log on and start playing. However before you take this step you need to take some time in selecting the right software you will need to access the games provided by the online gambling casinos. There are free games available which would allow the player to obtain useful skills which would make them a better player and help them to be more successful. There are some games which players would be able to pick up faster than some, for instance, keno, roulette and slots.
These games mentioned above are games of chance and don’t require any specific skills to play them. When entering online gambling casinos which provide these types of games it mostly depends on one main thing, beginners luck. However you need to keep in mind that if you experience beginners luck at one time or another you should not expect it to continue every time you decide to play, as most players learn it quickly disappears. I am sure that all the experienced gamblers can agree with me when I say that games of chance can get boring very quickly as opposed to games of skill.
At present we can all agree that it’s a lot more fun and rewarding to participate at online gambling casinos as oppose to normal casinos. The reason for this being is that each online casino is competing for more customers so they would have bonuses and special prizes; however one important point you should always remember is to check out the casino thoroughly before signing up, so you would know exactly what you would be get yourself in. In closing remember to set limits for yourself and ensure that you stick to them, therefore once you do this you would be able to have a great game without any regrets.

Money management is the most important factor. Plan how much you want to spend in a day. It’s nice to play only once, in slot machines. Quit when all the money for the day is used up. Quit if you’re on the losing side. Do not increase your bet hoping to make up. It is harder to predict your luck next time. …..

IF you are going to gamble then you should only play poker.
That is the only game where you actually have a chance of winning in the long run because you are playing agaist other people instead of the casino
