I have met with too many people to think the same way as you guys because I have seen people who are much better at holding themselves. However I understand it, yes it is really hard to hold yourself, back in the day I have lost a lot of money in gambling, not a lot in fiat but a lot in crypto because I am an early investor, however those huge losses (that turned into gigantic losses when bitcoin went up) became a lesson for me, so I am not without fault neither, I lost a lot of money before I became this way, I did became addicted at one time, but now I am doing a lot better and I know how to control myself.
It is all about building a system and after you have built a system then you are not going to be changing that too quickly. It is all about getting used to playing one way and not changing that just because something unexpected happened, good or bad.
In those type of situations the places that give dividends are a lot better to hold compared to other places, because when you are holding at the very least you are earning money and that could give you some reason to keep holding, when it is here and standing still and you can't just wait to gamble some more, there is a good chance you may end up gambling once again, but when it is making money while sitting there you would basically end up making a bit of a profit.
Stake however is a lot better to gamble than most other places, I mean it is basically a dream like place when only thing you care about is gambling, if you do not look for anything else then you could end up gambling here forever and that is going to end up being very entertaining as well, I know maybe like 2-3 other places that is as entertaining as this and nowhere else, I like the casino side more than sportsbook side, but that is not a big problem.
