How to control emotions and not give in to excitement?
Honestly, controlling emotions is probably the hardest part of gambling. Especially when there is a streak of bad luck. I had a case: I bet a decent sum, the odds were growing, and I was sure that I was about to reach my limit... but greed took over, I didn't withdraw it in time, and everything was burned. Since then I've been trying to develop iron discipline, but it's hard. Maybe someone has some real ways how to keep yourself in control?

I know it too. At times like this, the easiest thing to say is, “Just control yourself,” but the reality is different. One of the tips that helped me is to decide in advance when to withdraw. For example, on play game they advise you to set limits not only on the amount, but also on the time of play. Another tip is to never play on emotions, whether it's anger from losing or euphoria from winning. As soon as I notice that I'm getting nervous, I just go out and give myself a break.
