If you read my post carefully I have already mentioned that I do take occasional breaks to maintain a healthy gambling.
As you said, bet size plays a crucial role too. In the beginning I used to play with higher amounts but as I kept losing I realized there's no point.
So I started betting with smaller amounts and that helped me in cutting my losses.
I think we all need to find our own system that works best for yourself. You made the good assessment by lowering your bet size while still enjoying gambling. I limit myself by just having low amounts on casinos (and also putting some coins in the vault) as I can start tilting when I am having a bad run, so just need to protect myself.
that is why it is important to control ourselves when gambling when we have to play and when to stop, moreover we can control games that are healthier, for example betting with small bets to enjoy the game better if you just want to find fun, for me the fun thing is betting with small bets without hoping to get a big win as long as I enjoy the game is more than enough.
You are right in saying that we have to find our own system or control ourselves to bet healthily and not be too greedy to achieve big wins by betting bigger bets, that's why it's important to be able to control ourselves from that kind of thing, gamble responsibly and Enjoying the game is the most important thing in gambling.
