Well, as long as there have been casino games to gamble on, there has been the question as to when enough is enough. Gambling and playing casino games, whether its slots or poker, can be mesmerizing to many players – even the good ones. But the great ones know when to quit and how to keep tabs on when it is time to call it a day. Casinos don’t make it easy to determine for players either. Come on, there are no windows in casino so we can’t ell what time it even is – have you ever even seen a clock in a casino – no! These days, now that there are tons of online poker rooms and casinos on the Net, we can even play from home hour after hour without even having to get dresses. This makes it way to easy to get lost in the mix – half of the time, players without strict personal guidelines find themselves without the ability to know when enough is enough – even if the money has run out.

Well, no matter what game you are playing – you have to know when you have won enough and lost enough in order to call it a day.

On the other hand, there are players out there like myself who do know when to quit (I am not a robot) and have the ability to watch out for the perfect time to say adios for the day. For instance, some blackjack players say that it time to call it a day, or at least change tables, if they have lost four or five hands in a row. Several craps shooters say that it is time to stop for the day if they have lost back 50% of their original winnings enabling them to walk away with half of their winnings intact. Many gamblers just plain out set specific goal and stick to them.

Do any of the above ideas we just mentioned to you sound well - dumb? If so, you are already on track with knowing when to quit and you have a good sense of reality! Figuring out if it is time to quit actually has nothing to do with whether you're winning or losing.

Many of you reading this article on our online poker site may disagree, but that is just the mentality that gets you in trouble in the first place. You can not time your personal luck when gambling. There simply are no curves to look at when you are winning that will tell you when your winning streak is dead and gone. Lady Luck is as predictable as a hurricane. Seriously, this has been established in proscribed scientific experiments.

Now, you are asking “If it is that simple than what is the answer to when to quit”. So check out the second part of this article and follow the analogy we provide and determine that for yourself: (this will definitely be related to our online poker players out there reading this) so be sure to read it.
