I stick to a monthly budget. Let's say I alot 5% of my income to gambling. I just need to make sure that it will last me for the whole month so I won't need to take more money from my income. It takes discipline. And another thing, never try to chase your losses.
Very well said mate. At least you're not an addict. I stopped playing gambling for a year because I'd became an addict for once and I dont want repeat that mistake in which I have to lose everything before I realize that I am just wasting my money and most of my time for a nonsense thing.
Gambling has only become a non sense thing to you because you are not addicted, but try to gamble and be responsible for the 2nd time around and I am sure you will enjoy what you are doing. Just like you, I also made some mistakes in the past, I got addicted, but it doesn't make me stop, instead I learn and I can enjoy gambling now with proper control.
