I tend to play with small amount these days which has helped me in cutting losses while still enjoying gambling.
after a big enough loss, of course, it will make you more careful in placing your money. you already have valuable experience with loss.
I rarely go to the casino. more often than not I make sports bets. especially on the weekends when some of the European leagues start playing. and that too with a small nominal. not a big bet. just for fun only.
maybe in the casino, those who play are very focused on their game. sometimes they forget to control their emotions. it can ensnare players when they continue to lose and enjoy the game.
