In my opinion, setting a monthly budget for yourself in order to limit spending money is a good idea, but I try to play gambling is not regular so as not to develop a gambling addiction (as in Pavlov's famous experiment with the dog when the dog has a new conditioned reflex), so my budget is allocated for one game and is no more than $100.
I do follow the same principle that each month on particular month I keep an x amount fixed for the playing or say for fun. If I lose that say on the very next day too than whole month I will be away as cannot input more capital as monthly budget allocated is finished. And in case if win certain amount during that month then that will be my bonus amount. This just helps to be in limits.
I really envy you!
You have a very strong will. You are a very disciplined person. These qualities of a human character are very helpful in life. Especially in training and business. Most players suffer big losses due to lack of discipline.
I wouldn't be surprised if your gambling win statistics are positive. I cannot boast of that. I am a very emotional and gambling person. By temperament I am choleric.
You are probably sanguine or phlegmatic. A balanced nervous system is a huge plus. Although phlegmatic people do not make decisions quickly enough.
However, they make correct and informed decisions!
There's no need to envy man, as a gambler, you know the risk, therefore you need to know how to manage the risk.
Some people learn from their mistakes and they had developed to be a disciplined gamblers, it's just a matter of mindset, like managing your business, you should know up to how much you can risk and so if you''ll lose which is likely for most gamblers, you'll never lose more than you can't afford to lose.
