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?

Gambling can be also called an instinct investment. In as much that discipline is the tool that can help gamblers reduce the amount of money lost by gamblers, it does not work the way people think it should. Discipline in gambling is knowing your strengths and weakness and having good instincts in terms of predicting possible outcomes. Discipline in gambling means knowing what to bet on at a particular time or interval. To answer your question 'Does the discipline help in gambling?', yes discipline really helps in gambling but people don't really rely on discipline, but rely on instincts.
