Re: if you want to win big...accept defeat

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

Indeed it depends

It depends on the mentality of a particular person, his psychological setup, whether he is "hard-wired" to become a gambler. If he is, then starting small and trying to keep it small will be an exercise in futility as there are only two ways for a gambler to quit gambling. The first way is to never start gambling in the first place (but that may be too late), and the second is to stop being a gambler entirely. But the latter involves such deep changes in one's mental constitution that are typically not possible without professional help from outside (and sometimes impossible altogether)

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

It doesn't work that way with gambling addicts (or any other addicts, for that matter)
