My Husband told me Monday morning (while I was getting ready for work mind you) that he lost his part of the Mortgage on Poker (at the Casino) on Saturday afternoon. I love my Husband very much and I never would’ve thought he’d be so quick to put our home in jeopardy. At my request and him idenifying there’s a serious problem…He called and is going to be seeing a therapist to understand what led him to this problem and I’m more then willing to help in anyway possible. This just hurts me so much, he lost money and I feel like I have the weight of the whole world on my shoulders. :( How do you get this bitter feeling to go away? :( (
We have no children and have been married over a year (together 6)

I did tell him that if this happens again I cannot let him take me down with him…this will cost him our marriage…
House payment is already mailed…I would never let that happen….
Luckily I can cover his half do to an EXTRA incentive work I do at my job–working through my lunch/breaks… I just worry that bailing him out it showing him it’s okay…

I live in Las Vegas, gambling is everywhere!! I only play once a week but never seem to be able to walk away if I still have money in my pocket. Have tried everything, but I get so bored, and just when I say no more then I will hit a jackpot and win, and then I am off and running again, always wanting more. I don’t want to hurt myself or my family, but when you are playing and having fun it is so very hard to quit. I do not go into casinos anymore, but my local bar, they know me by name, talk with me and give me “free” food, haha. How do I make myself just not go in. And saying just don’t do it, doesn’t help, it is not that easy.

Poker :: Making Money In The Long Run.

Category : Online Gambling

In poker , many people will win and lose at random. although this is the basic law of gambling or any game for that matter. Will you be the one to win or lose, that is the question. How much money will you win in this game verse the money you will win in the next game. Of course I did say that, “many” people will lose and win at random. Others, The Ones who are considered the experts, never lose.


Of course if you look at how some beginners play, for example me when I first started, and see a mistake I used to make when I played for money. One of the mistakes that I used to make was playing game by game and constantly putting money into the gambling casino that I played at. I don’t remember at the time where I iusd to play, but I think it was party poker . They have a pretty good casino…many secepics think its reigged…


Anyway… the mistakes I used to make had to do with the topic I want to dicuss today, which is bankroll management in poker. in addition, I want to talk about the ways to spend your money and how to do it wisely to keep playing in the long run.


When I used to play, I played game by game. I put enough money to play one game and then I lost it and put in more. This is a huge mistake and cost me hundred of dollars. luckily I was smarter then losing all my money and I quickly changed. Others doing this and getting trapped in this behavior, often will not be able to do the same and lose all there money which then is called addiction.


This is what I did, which I learned from a gambling school, I kept track of all the money I spent on gambling for the month. I used an excel spreadsheet to see when I lost, how much money I lost, how much money i put into the game, how much I won. This showed me how much money I put in and how much it actually cost me when I after all my losses and wins where figured in.


In a mater of 3 months after I started to do this I actually started making money gambling instead of losing because I organized my money. The strategies I used just seemed to be more profitable. As long as the numbers that where my winnings were possitive, I made money. Before I did this, I was always putting more money into the casino weekly. After I created my system for money management, I was able to figure how much money I needed to win.


So all you have to remember is to keep the numbers neat on a graph and you wont lose money in the long run. If you want to put in $100.00 one month, as time goes by, you will see, you won $20 today, lost $50 the next day and one $30 the next. This would mean that you broke even, when you lost $50 in one day. You wouldnt know that unless you kept track of you’re bets. Just keep track of you’re money and you can keep gambling .

Limiting the Time You Play:

By picking a stop time before entering the casino you can control the amount you may lose. This is the simplest method there is. All you have to do is set the alarm on your cell phone for a specific time and once you hear the alarm you finish the round you are in and then you leave the casino. Leaving the casino will not only stop you from losing any more money but it will also allow you to clear your head and eventually you can return t the casino and start fresh from the beginning.

Cut Off Point:

To help make sure you do not give in to the gambling gods and fork over all your savings to the casino I recommend setting a cut off point. This means that once you hit you set amount you push yourself away from the table and leave the casino. It does not matter if you go to the bar, have some food or take a shower and a nap. Just getting out of the casino will help you regain your attachment to reality. Then after an hour or so you can go back to the casino and start over in a better state of mind then when you walked away before.

Voice of Reason:

When you are gambling alone if you should start to lose the only one who is going to tell you to leave the casino is your conscious, but then you will get the other voice in your head telling you that if you just risk more the reward will be even better when you win. If you are gambling with a friend they can tell you when you are getting out of control and can physically drag you from the casino if that is necessary. Of all the different safety nets you can use this one is the best, just make sure that your friend is a responsible gambler and that he is not a 95 pound weakling so that if needed he really can drag you from the casino.

Public Internet Access:

Many cafes and restaurants now offer free Wifi access to the internet and for those who do not have a laptop with them they will have one or 2 terminals that you can use but they are coin operated. Because they are only meant for short term use it will prevent you from sitting there and losing money for long periods of time, after a half hour or so someone is going to ask you if they can use the computer.

Gambling on the Go

Many people are too busy to be able to get away to a casino or play in an online casino, but they have the time to do their gambling from their cell phones. To help them stop from going overboard I recommend they use a prepaid cell phone which can be purchased very cheaply. These phones require you to purchase talk time in advance and when the phone is out of time until you buy more minutes the phone wont work. So if you spend more time in the casino then you have minutes the phone disconnects. This allows you to limit your gambling time and helps protect your bank account.

Anything you can do to help keep your gambling under control is a good thing and if you are the type of person that can lose control you should definitely use some method when gambling in any of its forms.

Here are some reliable tips to help you to gamble safely with your money.
