Quitters are winners
What often separates the winners from the losers is that the winners, when winning, leave the table a winner, and when losing, restrict their losses to affordable amounts. Smart gamblers never allow themselves to have their bankroll destroyed at the table.
As a player, there is a big advantage the casino does not have, which is that you can quit playing anytime you want to. This is a powerful weapon at your disposal, and is implemented with great success by the most astute players in the world.
To be able to come out ahead, you must minimise your losses when losing and maximise your gains when winning. If you strictly follow this timely advice, your winning sessions will eclipse your losing sessions and you will come out an overall winner, provided you also make good decisions at your chosen game.
Just walking around the casino or talking to honest friends, there are often stories of turning a great session into an absolute disaster. Every inexperienced gambler has to go through these lessons and walk away with exclamations of frustration and anger. This problem does not occur with inexperienced gamblers, many of the most experienced gamblers also let their guard down once in a while, such is the discipline that is required to continue winning.
Picture you starting with $200 and then turning it into $800. Ok that is an absolutely great feeling. But then suddenly, a few bad hands or spins and it becomes negative $200. The feeling is not there anymore, and you feel rather sick. The problem is that it should not have happened. The session should have stopped at $800, even if you were only 20 minutes at your seat. Walk away, get a drink and enjoy your winnings and crystalise your profits.
