Not sure if anyone here has ever heard of this writer, Mark Pilarski, and I can't say I've ever read anything by him although I've heard of him in the past. But today I read an article by him in the local paper that came out this week, and it seems he really knows what he's talking about. I tried to take a couple pictures that might be readable, but the jist of the article revolves around setting win and loss goals as a method of approaching gambling intelligently.
Alan, he says to somewhat follow what you do at times that's different than what I do--to look at attaining your pre-set win goal as an opportunity to not stop if you suddenly feel the urge to keep on playing, similar to how an investor would invoke a stop-loss order after reaching their "win" goal in order to at least go home with a partial profit.
I just saw I again forgot to rotate the picture, so please rotate either your computer or your head.
All sanity is not lost in the world of gambling.
