Gamblur's Disease
"Gamblur's Disease? What the hell is that?" you're probably wondering. "Another scare tactic being perpetrated by those evil anti-online casino gambling advocates?"No, not at all. Gamblur's Disease simply refers to the most common mistakes, playing habits and symptoms exhibited by the majority of unsuccessful casino game gamblers (aka "losers") frequenting land-based casinos and online casino websites. In essence, what it means is that the numero uno reason why players do not win, or rather win less often than they should, is due to their inability to remain focused on the game at hand.
Visitors in land-based casinos naturally demonstrate a greater tendency to lose their concentration during game play because of the many distractions intentionally and strategically arranged by the casino's operators in order to accomplish this controlling effect. For instance, on one hand casinos are extremely generous when it comes to serving food and plenty of alcoholic beverages. But there's a method to their kindness: Not only do they want to discourage you from leaving their casino for something as trivial as food, but they also want you to relax to the point where a) if you're losing, it doesn't hurt that much, and b) if you're winning, something (in your bloodstream) keeps telling you you're going to keep on winning!
Yeah, right. The fact remains that alcohol is a depressant and its immediate effects on a consumer are those of courage, confidence, and a general positive outlook. This all adds up to dangerous instincts for mere mortals engaged in games of chance where the odds of coming out ahead are stacked against you, drinks or no drinks.
A gambler experiencing a winning streak, even a slight one, will feel compelled to increase the size of his/her bets not based on any probability factors but due rather to their human emotions. For example, observe any professional gambler, on-line or otherwise. This sort of player will consistently conduct himself/herself in a cool, calm and collected manner. Sure, they'll also jump up and down with uncontrollable excitement after bagging a major win, but you can bet this outbreak of emotion will occur only after the game's been played, and far from anyone's view, especially other pros.
Online casino game players may be enjoying their favorite casino games in the comfort of their own homes and far from any land-based casino's atmospheric control. But they too are not immune and the various distractions can be just as costly, if not more. For instance, suppose you get carried away and have a little too much to drink. Who's going to cut you off? You? Or say you're in the middle of a really big hand and your wife begins crying because the baby is crying and you're not crying because you're playing poker in the basement. It's enough to cause anyone to lose focus, and perhaps their shirt as well.
