Also, for gambling i can separate not more than 1 % of my budget for month. Because mostly, i lose it, so send something bigger will be just wasting money.
That's a very  safe allocation in gambling, I understand that most of us are really losing in gambling, so 1% is really something we can afford to lose.
However, for me, I don't allocate 1% only as I don't earn a lot of money from any source, so let's say I only get $1,000 per month as my net income, then I would only gamble $10 per month, I think there's no fun on that.

There is no fun, but you still have your money  Smiley I do not agree with your argument that "more money = more fun". I receive the same amount of pleasure with 10 buks per month that i would get with 1000. Maybe even more, because if i  lost 10 dollars i will not be frustrated for money which i could use in more useful ways (like it would be with 1000 buks)

And yeah, argument about 'making money" is invalid too, because in gambling you always lost in long distance. So it's more good to lost less  Smiley

I always support the idea to gamble with as little as possible, so I'm glad to see that someone is able to have fun with just 1% of the monthly budget. As for me, 1% is never enough. Even though making money with gambling is not my aim, I spend around 5% of my monthly budget on it, because I find it boring to win $1-$2 after 2-3 hours of playing in a poker tournament, or to earn just 10k sats after a winning roll with 0.1% win chance on dice. It's strange, but that's how it is: on the one hand, it's always fun to win, no matter the money, but, at the same time, money matters, at least to some degree. Winning less money than you can buy a bottle of a good beer with is not that entertaining.

But that's me. Currently. I think I should work on  improving my imagination. Smiley
