Bankroll Management.

[Invigilator]

This is the sacriest part of the post to me. Windbreaker was on the right track; gambling can be a problem even for the winning player. It can consume time that a mature and emotionally healthy person should be spending on work, family, friends, exercise, etc.

A gambling problem is at its base, a lack of self-control (for whatever reason). For this reason, outside support from friends, family, and even professionals is very important. If you could set things right all by yourself, you would not have a problem.
