Golden tips for a casino gambler: 3. Be Thankful for Small Mercies 

Another thing you should ask yourself before “getting down to business” is what you want from that game. The answer wouldn’t surprise you – you want some money. The less you are preoccupied with the final sum you might be able to win, the more excitement you might be getting and the risk of losing your head decreases significantly. It is a very simple yet astonishing thing – when you want something desperately and in big quantities, you become somewhat nervous and later, if you don’t manage to take yourself under control, you begin losing and stop following the game and thinking of better ways; here comes the feeling called desperation when you  might  lose faith in everything but a lucky chance – not the best help you can hope for.Whereas, if you recall any sports games that are played just for some charity reasons or whatever – the point is, winning is not the most important thing, the players can enjoy the process without being preoccupied about the outcome. When you are relaxed and cool , there is nothing impeding your positive emotions; if you lose it should be cool, if you win – even better. A bit of money won is good, it is luck already – so before you decide to squander those few dollars that you just won – remember, the rules are not the same as in business
