I like your writing, the conclusion is "don't get too carried away in gambling". danger to those who think gambling is a job, all they get is a loss.
True, we should not get carried as our emotion is our weakness and that would make us lose money in the end.
However, I would disagree that all they get is loss to people who treat gambling as a job, no... there are people who are smart and they are professional gambler, it's their passion, they understand the risk or danger but they know what they are doing and they could be successful.
you are right, gambling with the capacity you have (the sport you like) because it is certain that you have broad insight into the sport. let's gamble without curiosity, be greedy and let go of all losses..
Greediness is what made you lose a lot of money, that's your emotion that are dictating yourself, it's not the strategy anymore that your mind has created.
It's not smart and responsible gambling, be aware with that.
