with that kind of engagements even you say you are just using a small amount of money, there's always a chance that you will not be satisfied and you will try to add more to continue playing.

Of course I ended up spending a lot of money on gambling. However, I immediately realized my mistake and immediately corrected it before something worse happened.

Now I can manage my finances and manage my gambling time. The best way to gamble is to think of it as entertainment, when we can think like that then we won't be stressed even if we lose.
You are right, but unfortunately, not very many people are able to really see gambling as a form of entertainment, most especially, for those who have lost so much to gambling..

Just last week while I was in the hospital, I saw a fellow guy like myself playing a slot game on one of this online casinos I don't know the name, I was moved to ask him if he has ever won significant amount of money while playing such games, he said he sure have won a big amount of money a couple of times, but hasnt yet covered all the money he has lost to gambling, I then told him that gambling was supposed to be for entertainment, and not a money making venture, he responded saying that, until he wins an amount that will cover for all the money he has lost gambling, gambling will never be an entertainment for him but a money making venture.

I was actually amused and surprised at the same time, we later on discussed extensively about gambling, but for him, gambling remained a money making venture, so how do we ever convince such type of people to see gambling as an entertainment?.
