The maxim is always that you should only gamble with money what you can spare, but most people know that. More importantly, keep a bankroll for gambling, and a strategy. And under no circumstances go over your limits, try to put your emotions aside. Only then can you enjoy it.
You true, in difficult economic conditions like today due to the corona pandemic, of course we must be able to manage the finances we have as well as possible so as not to have an impact on our family finances, in my opinion, emotions are the main factor that makes us lose everything in gambling and that's why we need strong emotional control when gambling.
In such situation, its better to avoid getting into gambling. I understand its going to be really challenging for those who are addicted. We depend on money to manage all our needs. So when there is a little, its good to plan with the little amount we have. Its easy to say or advice but yes i agree, its hard to practice though. Self realization and self control will only help to manage the situations.
