My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?

When I plan to gamble, I usually aim to spend around 15% of my income on deposits at gambling sites. I play casually and with small bets. If I win, it will be something good, but sometimes I lose quickly, making me angry and emotional so I deposit again, and again. Until my money was almost gone, the conditions were very bad. I don't do that often, but I have done it once or twice.

I don't have a winning target when playing gambling, I don't target a certain number such as having to win $100, $200, or $300. I use my feelings, if I feel like I've been playing for a long time and I'm starting to lose often then I will withdraw my money and come back tomorrow or next week. As long as I still think logically then it will be fine. But when greed come, it often has bad consequences

I understand you because we are just human beings living in this messy world where we need to survive every single day, we both know that it's not a realistic move because you ended with nothing but losses but I think, somehow, it's understandable as you're just trying to gamble to have more than your supposed budget. The thing is, we should just learn from our mistakes so that these situations will be avoided in the near future. I mean, at first, it's a mistake but doing it again is already a choice.

That's right, what he needs is to learn from his own mistakes and self-control. Whatever he do if he can't control himself from chasing his losses, this mistake will happen again and again. Instead of spending a little money from his income, every money he owns will lose. Most gamblers happen to do this mistake without notice which is easy to say, but it is really hard thing to do.
