Look, chasing losses in poker or blackjack is a one-way ticket to an empty wallet. You’re not outsmarting the deck or the dealer by doubling down after a bad run—it’s just desperation dressed up as strategy. Want control? Start with your head, not your chips. In poker, stop playing every hand like it’s a lottery ticket. Stick to tight-aggressive: play strong hands, fold the junk, and bluff only when the table’s scared. Blackjack? Quit hitting on 16 when the dealer’s showing a 6. Basic strategy charts exist for a reason—use them. And for god’s sake, set a loss limit before you sit down. Walk away when it’s hit, no excuses. Gambling’s not tennis; you don’t predict the bounce of the cards. You control your bets, not the outcome. Keep it sharp, not sloppy.
