Today I begin to take this serious!
Funny, huh? I had some insightful thoughts and I'm going to share. I told you I am really going to take "professional gambling" seriously now, read up, plan, etc. So today I was thinking and this is what I came up with.
1. The "big hit" is seldom going to happen. I had one today, but I know it doesn't happen often. So, I am not going to take myself out of the game for the big hit, but I am going to be realistic about its (infrequency. No more chasing it.
2. The important thing is to finish up a winner if at all possible. I interpret this to mean that any time I am ahead, I am going to leave a winner, even if it is five dollars. No more "giving it all back" when I win something good.
3. The opposite of winning is losing and we know we cannot win every day, so for those days when I NEVER get ahead, I am going to gamble for fun and cut my loses short. No more writing a check, pawning jewelry, going to the bank for more, using the credit card, dipping into the dollar bill bank. Whatever I bring for the "fun" is IT!
Finally, I am going to track winning and losing. Being professional doesn't automatically mean winner. I promise honesty no matter what.
