This ought to be rule number one for ‘How to Succeed in the Online Casino – Keep Warm’. We are referring to one’s state of mind rather than one’s body temperature. It’s true that the mavens always say “keep a cool head” while gambling but there’s a huge difference between playing with a cool head and a cold head. The cool head is what allows you to think clearly and positively while the cold head stops you from making any kind of decent gambling decisions at all. And that what gambling is really all about – being able to decide whether to play the 7 or the 9, whether to take a hit or to stand, whether to pick up your winnings or let it ride.

So the secret to good an enjoyable online gambling is to keep cool. But you must keep warm. Cold fingers will give you a hard time – trying to click the mouse on ‘play’ or ‘deal’ when you can hardly move your fingers will take all the fun out of your online gambling session. So turn up the warm air, put on a sweater and have a cup of steaming chocolate or coffee on the table next to you.

The temperature was down to minus ten last night when I settled down to do a spot of end-of-the week online gambling. I did my warm-up exercises on the slot machines and drank part of a bottle of brandy to warm myself from the inside. Then I switched to roulette, my favorite cold weather sport. My birthday is not far off, so I decided to play number 23, my personal number. I scattered 10 $10 chips across the table, making sure to cover 23, and spun the wheel, sipping from the bottle as the numbers passed by. Number 23 sped by without stopping. I tried again and sure enough, the wheel stopped on number 23, bringing me $350, less the $200 I had invested. I sipped again to ward off the cold and let my win ride. Another spin of the wheel. 23 again. Now I had $12,000 and already I was feeling warm all over. You have to keep warm!
