The crocodile theory in gambling.

I recently came across an article discussing the Crocodile Theory of financial investment. The Crocodile Principle is a well-known theory in the realm of financial investment.

The essence of it is: if a crocodile bites your foot, and you try to use your hands to tear your foot away, the crocodile will bite both your foot and your hand simultaneously. The more you struggle, the more forcefully you'll be bitten. Therefore, if the crocodile injures your foot, the only way to escape is to sacrifice your foot.

The Crocodile Principle is widely applied in investment, especially in the gambling industry. When using this principle, the most evident application is setting stop-loss limits. When you've incurred a loss and continue losing, avoid trying to recover your losses and refrain from placing additional bets. Exit immediately.

"Sacrificing a leg is to avoid more severe consequences." Some players enter a casino solely for entertainment purposes. They might increase their bets continuously for excitement, not caring about the ultimate outcome of winning or losing. If you have sufficient wins and losses, that's okay; there's no need to indulge to such an extent. However, if you intend to win money in the medium to long term in gambling, you must overcome all notions of luck.

Only by treating gambling as an investment can it yield equivalent returns. Many players understand the concept of setting stop-loss limits, but few can strictly adhere to it. Many individuals, after reaching their stop-loss limits and losing, believe that they absolutely must win the next round and subsequently disregard the stop-loss limits, rendering them meaningless. Setting or not setting stop-loss limits becomes indistinguishable. Therefore, if you genuinely wish to win money in gambling, remember the Crocodile Principle. Writing it down on paper and carrying it with you can also be an effective method.

I feel that everyone has inherent weaknesses, and in the realm of gambling, it's very possible to experience a major loss that can wipe out the profits from the previous 99 times. Therefore, implementing stop-loss measures is the only rule for survival in gambling.

Stop-loss is a fundamental skill in gambling and also a useful and straightforward trading principle in the gambling world. I believe that we all need to practice and internalize this theory repeatedly.

Ultimately, it boils down to implementing effective stop-loss measures. Once you've incurred losses, it's important not to dwell on trying to win them back.

One shouldn't generalize in all matters; analysis should be based on the actual circumstances.

No "ifs," there's no way I'd let the alligator bite my foot.

He who recognizes the situation is a wise person; when it's time to cut losses, cut losses.

Can an alligator bite both the hand and the foot at the same time?
