Recently I found myself thinking about something that happened during a weekend trip with a few friends. One evening we were relaxing at the hotel, watching sports and talking about betting. Everyone decided to place a small wager just to make the game more interesting. Before doing it, I set myself a strict budget and promised not to go over it no matter what happened. Surprisingly, I ended up winning a few bets in a row, but I still stopped when I originally planned to. Some of my friends thought I was crazy for walking away while ahead, while others said it was the smartest thing I could have done. Since then I've been curious about how other people handle this. Do you set limits before playing casino games or betting, or do you decide as you go along?
