Of course we all are different men with different experience and problems. Everyone has his own way to overcome difficulties depends on his own situation. As i said - the gambling is just one of the choices you can make. It can be dangerous for someone and of course i can`t recommend it as a decision. But sometimes, for someone, with some restrictions - it can be nice and efficient.
I agree with what you said. Experience and how to handle problems will be different for everyone because they have different levels of difficulty. If you think that playing gambling is okay for you, you can continue with the consideration that you can take care of yourself while playing gambling. But if you feel you can lose control of yourself while gambling, you should not play for too long and avoid using more money.
In my situation there is no opportunity to lose control. For example: I decided to spend $100 for fun. And i have 2 free hours for it. So i should stop if: a) i lose $100 or b) i spend 2 hours gambling and it doesn`t matter how much money i won or lost in that moment.
So it is only my situation. Not all gamblers can play in such a way.
I think we can try the method you are using because in my opinion, whatever the outcome of those two options, we should be able to stop so that we don't lose more than $100 or more than 2 hours. It's a great strategy to try and maybe if people think $100 and 2 hours are too big and too long, they can reduce or adjust their funds to enjoy their free time. I only use the first method where I put some money, maybe under $100, to play and once I have consecutive losses or the balance is reduced by half or a quarter of the total balance, I will quit. But sometimes, I also use other strategies depending on my mood.
