Yesterday, I ended up losing $2.50 at online poker. Today, I ended up making around $3.00 profit after averaging total wins of $2.50 twice, losing $2.50 once, and gaining some more change. I did all of this under an hour. Wow, big deal right? I'm being sarcastic. It feels like I'm living on the edge man even though I only committed to betting with cards that had around a 90% chance of winning.
My demo trades also shot through the roof yesterday and I made a killing off of it. Instead of being down $110 of fake money, it's now only losing $70 of fake money so far. This is the way to play safe! It's about doing everything fake until there's a consistency of making profit for three months straight while actively engaging in it. Even if it's $0.01 profit, it's still good because it is so hard to get to a break even point while being consistent for several periods.
One of my friends became so prideful with his method of pure gambling which is just dumb luck and betting small and hoping to get a chain of wins that he spent like eight hours at a casino once and lost $500. He then said he felt so sick about it and wasn't interested in even winning anymore because when he was gaining, he didn't feel the excitement anymore. It's obvious because even if he wins, it can all go away the next hour. He was saying he's so good at this and he had a gift and all of that random nonsense! This is not how you gamble.
The way I've been gambling is putting all my chips in with favorable outcomes and with a 90% edge, it sucks to lose but I'm still back right at it for some reason. It feels like I'm about 90% there and the added 10% is going to take a real push to get it. If it doesn't happen with what people want, then it's better to just make the most of it and keep on striving while being alive. It's important to stay happy and from rewiring the brain this way, it keeps on getting better.
