Gambling of any kind should be kept well within the gamblers means. Playing beyond a players means is a good way to play badly as the correct moves will be inhibited for fear of losing. Playing well within the means makes it easy to play and do the right thing

If a session has been a losing one then the player needs to stay within loss limits. The worst thing a player can do is chase a losing streak. Most of the time the streak just gets worse. There is no reason for a streak to start or end. Players that think differently are in for a big nasty loss. Controlling losses is the first step to being a winner. The biggest part of this is knowing when to push and when to back off. Players that do not do this will lose more than the mean too. Players that push on a winning streak are going to do fine, but those that keep fighting the losses are destined to lose more than they thought they would. Every gamblers sees this happen to themselves some time, if they learn from it then the lesson was cheap. If they do not learn from it they will lose more than they should on every losing streak.

The opposite is true if the luck is running the other way. Push a winning streak and back off of a losing one. Most gamblers do just the opposite. Casinos know this and are only fearful of players that do the right thing at the right time. The best gamblers are those that can sense the way the streak is going and either push the bets or cut them back. Streaks are peculiar in that they are as quick in a direction as mercury is on a plate. Do not expect the way the game or wagers is going on the first few wagers is the way the streak will be throughout the game. Winning and losing wagers is part of the game and should be expected However longer streaks do set in during a session and these are the streaks that need to be watched for. This is where the money is lost or won. When a game is on and the game is heating up, players that keep their heads are more likely to win and lose less if the game turns against them.
