We always read the words "Don't bet more than you can afford to lose", but are we really following that safe principle in gambling?
So, I have a question here, if you are earning like $2000 a month, how much are you willing to gamble that you think you can afford to lose?
Please use the amount as a basis for your answer.
From $2000 a month, certainly no more than $200. And since that would probably cover a lot of what someone can spend on leisure, that amount should last for the month. So something like 5$ a day and 10$ on Sundays.
Now if you have a girlfriend or worse kids, then that's definitely too much, you need to spend money on them first.
