You did the right thing, playing with small bets will minimize your losses and will not make you addicted in gambling. We should not let gambling into our life and we should just play it for fun and nothing more.
What's fun you get if you play in very short time?
I don't think small bettors can play in a very short time, cause it is better to bet small amount for you to play in a long run, because you can save some of your money so that you can bet several times. But if you bet large amount immediately you can lose also immediately.
Yes, and you can lose as fast as you cannot expected if you bet in huge amount. Don't let your mind dictates that you must play again and again. You should always know our limitations since we do not have huge of money that we can lose. And we all know that a lot of people struggling now because of their current life style. We all want to have a convenient and comfortable house. All we wanted is to be successful and I guess gambling will never make you successful. So if you really want to gamble, just use small amount and that's it make a limit in every game.
