It is upto individual how they want to take it. Like for those who want to just make money will play only to win and most likely will end up losing a lot of money if do not stop at right time. While for others who just play to entertain them self will continue to gamble and enjoy irrespective of the results.
Because gambling has the possibility to make your life degenerates or worse then you have to prepare it as best you can. yeah it will depend on individuals themselves, whatever their goals in gambling, they have to prepare well like the amount of capital, controls and so on
You are only beast at performing a task only when you have experience and experience comes with failure so I think that if you want to get in to gambling, you would have to try out these adventures and they are really not risk free at all. In addition, self control is important and not letting yourself being deceived by the house at the table is the best trait of any gambler. There are great gamblers who have made names but that too at the expense of facing the risk.
