Level 1 to level 3: (beginning levels)
1. New gambling ideas flashes in your mind even you are too busy with your studies or work or with friends/family.
2. Already lost in hundreds still you are strongly believing to recover them by innovating new strategy.
3. Made $50 then why not $100 or $500.
This is the best level that describes me but I'm still in control of myself and how I gamble I just continue to innovate so I can come back and recover my losses but I am only allocating a small portion of my gambling because of my work but even when I am on my work those dice sometimes rolls in my mind, I'm not looking to go to the next level because I don't gamble to ruin my life.
Stay with how you interpret this habit it's dangerous not only with your financial but also it can harmed you physically, the after effects of gambling inside your mind difinitely can ruined your life. Good thing that you manage to control yourself not following your desire to continuously play and then lose your money.
