Most of the time my success on gambling happens when the market is at the bottom or when it is moving bullish. But this doesn't last for a long, so I never think of the market changes when I decide to gamble. I just go gamble, make profit then loss it and further feel bad of losing the hard earned bucks.
If so, maybe you can gamble when the market is at the bottom and stop gambling right before the market starts moving bullish. Maybe you can make a profit from that so you can stop gamble right away and make money. You should know when to stop gambling before the situation is changing and if that happens, you can not make a profit instead of getting lost. Many of us do not know about that and that makes us losing money.
