Some people are born lucky and are blessed with the ability
to win money almost every time they sit down to gamble;
whether they are logged on to a virtual
casino such as Unibet,
or sampling the surroundings of a live establishment, some
people can beat any game they choose.
However, for
most people their chances of making a profit at the
blackjack table, roulette wheel or slot machines is
dependent on their overall skill as a gambler. Knowing when
to bet, how to bet and when to quit is essential if you want
to survive in the often volatile world of gambling.
Indeed, one of
the biggest skills you need to master if you want to make a
healthy profit is to not go on tilt. Before we outline some
techniques for overcoming this common problem we need to
understand exactly what tilt is.
In simple
terms, tilt is an increase in emotion to such a point that
you are no longer making logical decisions but acting on
impulse. For a serious gambler this is obviously a problem
because once you stop making smart decisions the casino will
relieve you of your money quicker than you can "I'm on
tilt".
Thus, the most
effective way to stop yourself from going on tilt is to not
get too emotional in the first place. Treat everything as a
game and don't invest more money than you can afford to
lose. For instance, if you're sitting at the blackjack
table, don't start betting $100 a hand if your bankroll is
only $1,000. Doing this will not only take the fun out of
the game but put much more pressure on you, something that
will eventually lead to tilt.
If you can't
avoid this a find that you're tilting at the table then take
a break. Casinos are open 24 hours a day and there's never a
time when your favourite game won't be running, so don't be
afraid to leave the table and return when you're calmer.
Going on tilt
is one of the worst things a gambler can do but if you can
spot the signs early you can prevent it from happening,
preserve your bankroll and live to fight another day. |
