My blog post last tuesday has received a bit of comment, and I thought it was worth continuing some of the debate.  Some interesting points came up…

When you are in a casino with your chip stack in front of you, then you are more careful with how you spend your money because you can touch and feel your chips, which you have just bought with your hard earned money.

When your chip stack starts going down in front of you, then you start to worry because you can see for yourself that you are losing your money. 

But when we play online roulette then we make a deposit and load up on numbers.  You watch the numbers go up and down, when they are finished you reach for your wallet and deposit more numbers…

You have to be sure you can afford to lose the money that you are gambling with, in these tougher financial times we all have to budget.  Gambling for fun should be with excess money, money that you don’t need to pay the bills.  And importantly… once it is all used up for the month, then you should stop gambling… until you have spare money again for entertainment.

Exercise self control whilst playing roulette online or any online casino game.
