At some point in my life I felt this tug.
I was in ner Yisroel, Atlantic City was sort of on the way home. But being the prepared person I am , I didn’t walk into the casinos unprepared. I memorized several basic strategy books. But as others have said, basic strategy for blackjack will allow you to reduce the houses advantage from something like 40% (with emotional betting) down to 2% or so.
So foremost in every “professional “ gamblers mind is the fact that you can maybe reduce the house advantage to only 2%. KNOWING I couldn’t win conquered the tug toward compulsion . If you haven’t read the books , then please do . Know the math.
But addiction is a hard thing to beat without help. So if you feel like you can’t stop by yourself please seek help.
A gambling addiction is a family killer. An almost certain path to divorce and misery. So get cured.
Hatzlocho!!
