I don't want to get addicted into gambling.
You won't if you stick with your strategy, however, like I said, spending small amount is not fun at all

It is not going to work out like that

If one is predisposed to addiction (and I think there's not a lot of difference among numerous types of addiction, psychologically), the best a potential addict can do is to simply stay away from gambling altogether. He won't be able to stick to this strategy of small bets just because he doesn't have it in him (so it's better not to risk it). On the other hand, if one can keep on playing using small amounts for some time, he can as well bet larger sums as the risk of developing or contracting an addiction will be minimal

Lol. Let's not kid ourselves. Very few people can consistently bet with small amounts. The more you make bets, the more you'll be compelled to up your wagers. That's how gambling works even before addiction sets in. The fact that you're already gambling on a vonsustent basis, even with little amount, means you're not having an easy time avoiding the act itself

Technically, I agree with you

With that said, though, I should still add that it is not like if you start betting with small amounts, you are necessarily and always going to turn into a gambling addict. If you are not predisposed to gambling, if it is not in your character, you will just grow bored eventually as betting small is exceptionally tiresome and dull

So instead of bidding up, you will just walk away without even looking back or thinking twice (I've been there with computer games). In this way, you can in fact consistently bet with small amounts, especially if you are in for something else other than (just) gambling
It depends because people do have different insights towards gambling neither they would play on gradual small to big bets then it would most likely to end up on the same fate which is becoming an addicted one.

Mind control and self awareness with your actions is the key to avoid such addiction but eventually people do failed up to do so.
