How strong does a character need to be to set aside some amount of money on a weekly gamble?
What needs to happen to make it happen?
Does the great loss solidify our character?
What exactly does it mean to discipline yourself in gambling (in the narrow sense)?
Should we be disciplined in gambling, does it mean that we are better at gambling, or that we put less money at stake with more enjoyment, less fear, adrenaline, etc. ?
Me interested in answering the last question?
I think discipline is important in every sphere of life and it's equally important in gambling too. It restricts the habit of making unlimited losses and makes sure you sell yourself while doing gambling. Moreover it also ensures that you only gamble what you can afford to lose because excessive gambling is too dangerous.
