There’s one thing that a gambler would tell you about going to the casino, and that’s the fact that you should know your limits. This is where people end up losing their savings. Biting off more than you can chew is the perfect idiom for this situation, and the true question here is whether or not you would be able to exercise enough self-control or self-restraint before you end up burning a hole through your bank account. What most people do is that they leave their wallets in the car, or even go as far as leaving it at home even. Credit cards and ATM cards are some of the few things that you do not want to bring to the casino as well. But if you want to be the green-colored monster called greed, what you have to understand is that the only way you can beat it is by digging deep within yourself by exercising tremendous control over your own urges. The biggest killer in the casino is your pride. You see, people have the tendency to hold on to hope when they are at the casino. This hope would mean that a $100 loss would not be so bad because you have enough money to bet so you can wipe out your losses. Before you know it, that $100 loss becomes $1000. Exercising self-control is admitting defeat while your loss isn’t that great. Remember that it’s better to live and fight another day rather than going down in flames.
