My friend had a healthy approach to casinos – he would set aside a fixed amount of money (say £50) and, if he lost that, he would leave. If he won a substantial amount he would take £50 out of the winnings and put it in his back pocket. He would then play with the remainder. Once that was gone, again he left.
