If we think positively of course in gambling it will be fine even can control their finances while gambling and will know how much he has to bet in that situation.

This floor is very slippery, friend. even though you can control it but sometimes you can also get trapped only when your mood is not good.
Gambling addicts often have mood swings and its really unstable, especially when they lose in large numbers. Someone might be able to control with words, but the practice is really different. Believe me, if you like to gamble then you surely know what I mean because in reality we are still vulnerable to losing control when the condition is supportive.

None of us is immune to occasional failure of controlling our emotions. It's very important to not panic right after that happened and to not think that you are a problem gambler already. Just reflect on the situation, make your conclusions and move on. If during your mental breakdown you lost 5 times more than you could afford to in one day, don't gamble for another 5 days in order to counterbalance that. ... But, yeah, it's much harder to do it when under the influence of alcohol.

That's a good advice, actually we can read a lot of that even if we search online but the big problem here is ourselves alone, even if we are so educated but we are weak in controlling our emotion, it would still lead us to more loses and that will ruin our finances. I am not perfect though, I also lose a lot of times in the past that I have regret everytime I lose but eventually I get matured and learn that my chance of winning in gambling is very low, therefore it's wise not to pursue being profitable, if you are lucky, then call it a day but next day, don't expect you'll get the same result.

Your chance of winning in gambling is not very low, it is just lower than that of losing, that's all.

For example, if you are going to make a dice roll with 90% win chance, we can't say that your chance of winning is low, it's 90% after all! BUT, considering the payout(1.1x), indeed your chance of winning the whole size of your bet is lower than your chance of losing it.

I think you might know it, so it's mainly for other readers, who think that your chance is very low in lottery, or it's low when you place a bet with 1%, or less, win chance, but if you always bet on something with high probability to happen, you are going to be in profit in the long run. This particularly concerns sports betting. Some people really win a lot in the long run using this strategy(betting on the strongest team/player). What some people don't realize is that it's luck, not a strategy, that helped them to be in profit overall.
