Do You Have Control?

I have been dubbed a control freak here and there. Naturally, I would balk at the label; but if I think that if I thought about it more, I would probably see some truth in that statement. And speaking of control, I read a really old article about gambling, which really made sense to me.
The article is from The Metro and states:
The key to being a successful gambler lies in the word ‘control.’
When you have control over your gambling, your visit to the casino (online or otherwise) can be an entertaining and hopefully a profitable experience.
I couldn’t agree more! Control is a very important thing is most any activity, and gambling not an exception.
If you have self-control, then you will not only avoid gambling problems but you would also increase your winnings in the long run. Here are some concrete ways by which control can do this.
If you have self-control, you will NOT chase your losses. You will know, at the outset, how long you will play, and how much you will spend on gambling. You will not be tempted to continue playing through your losing streak just because you know “in your heart” that you will break that streak and recoup your losses. Instead, you will stand up, call it a night, and come back another day.
If you have self-control, you will spend time and effort to hone and sharpen your skills continuously. You will not just jump into the water and hope that Lady Luck will grace you with a kiss. Instead, you will learn the basics of whatever game you want to play. You will go one step further and learn the advance strategies and techniques that will give you the edge to win.
So what’s wrong about being a control freak?
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
