The most important thing to master is to remain calm when you lose. If you are already good at this then you are on the perfect path to being a successful gambler. Remain calm when it is your time to lose because eventually you can learn a lot from losing, you will know what your betting limit is, and how you can adjust your betting in accordance with what your limit is.

If you follow that stratefy then you will find times when it doesn't get you anywhere, and since you are betting big, you might also lose big. However, the flip side is you hitting a massive jackpot and being shortchanged because you were betting under the minimum, so you will be grateful you bet the maximum when you finally hit the jackpot.
