I cannot speak for other people, but I am a very disciplined gambler. I have a weekly "entertainment" budget for gambling, so I make sure that I pay all my expenses first and then allow for a small portion of my remaining budget to go towards "gambling".
The problems start when you start to dive into the budget for the other things for which you have to pay for.... and when you use that for gambling. I hope other people will follow the same strategy to prevent "gambling addiction" problems.
I think the method you are using should be imitated instead of doing more difficult calculations like the people above. Allocate funds from the remaining basic needs, and you use them according to the balance that has been set every week. In my opinion, this is much more effective and applies simple discipline but gives the impression of a limit on the money spent. This should be a consideration for people who find it difficult to manage their finances in gambling.The problems start when you start to dive into the budget for the other things for which you have to pay for.... and when you use that for gambling.
