Yeah I have learned a lot from my gambling mistakes and now that is the reason I have quit gambling as I am now aware that there is no shortcut to earn money and the money which I am loosing in gambling will never be recovered so its better to stay away from it.
Interesting that you quit gambling so easily, otherwise it is too much hard and difficult to quit gambling once you become addicted to gambling. I ha ve seen people who are addicted to gambling and are playing gambling for more than 30 years, although they want to stop playing gambling any more, but it is in fact not so easy. Some time they stop it, but they succeeded for few days only.
It pretty much takes self control and the ability to reason fast most especially for people who take gambling as investment to know when to stop. You would not need a soothsayer to tell you eventually that you can use that productive time to do something and earn something good.
He made a wise decision and I truly hope some people who do not see the fun but see only themselves making money from gambling all the time will see it the same way and make the best decision as well. Like I always say, if everyone do have a strategy for winning all the time, casinos or gambling sites would have closed from business by now.
