Excellent read and I tend to resemble this quote a little..

So, what qualities do you need to survive in this environment?
Strangely, all the successful gamblers I've come across have only one thing in common. They are all opinionated. Very opinionated. Annoyingly so, I'm afraid. That doesn't mean that being opinionated in itself will make you successful, but essentially you need to be able to make a decision and stand by it.

Otherwise, there seem to be three key skills. Firstly successful gamblers are businesslike in their approach. They keep the money separate, and they keep accurate records. Secondly, they have the discipline not to fritter money away - what poker players call "leakage" where they take their winnings and blow it on something like roulette.

Thirdly, they cope with losing so much better than anyone else. This I can say without question is my own personal weakness. I'm a terrible loser.
