Thank you Gizmotron for the kind comments.

I must agree this happens all the time. Leaving the logic center of the mind or in "trance state" as I put it, is what we experience but unfortunately unaware of while on the heat of things. Sadly awareness and the realization only sets in or if at all most likely when damage has been done, or otherwise. 

Experience tells us, at least what it has done for me, is to remind me not to go astray from my  real world. When inside the casino, it detaches us from reality, the true value of money becomes less or becomes of no value at all, and this is just one example among the many.
