when one bet is not more than 3-5% of the pot, then everything will be all right, even if you will overtaken by a series of unsuccessful bets.
Some people will have in mind that they will not touch more than 2 to 5% which they budget for gambling, touching more than that should have indicated to them that they are becoming a gambling addict. I have my gambling budget to be 2 to 5% and not more, I gamble just weekends, even if I lose, I will not be sad because it is chicken change that I used which will make me to to be depressed, even if I win, I use the money for fun. We should all have gambling spending limit, this will help us to avoid addiction, we should also not hide this from our relatives that we see daily.
No doubts that if you have that kind of limitations and you are practicing it well, the chance of getting addicted is more smaller than those who spend a lot.
If you lose that portions from your budget and keep the entertainment that you gain, you simply let it go and try again the other day
or the other time when you have the same amount to spend, when you win, it's just another bonus for you to adds up from your entertainment.
Where have you seen that addiction depends on the size of stakes you're gambling? It's like saying that someone drinking a lot one day would be more addict to alcohol than someone drinking several glasses every day. It doesn't make sense. Usually noobs gambling large amount of money will get rekkt quickly and they won't want gambling anymore after that... Moreover Cryptmuster wasn't speaking of addiction, he was talking about bankroll management.
