So this is what I think about gambling. The money you separate from your income, The amount that you can afford to lose, and the budget what is for gambling, I consider it lost the moment you separate it from your income. Imagine this, if you are gambling, you are paying for the entertainment. So the money you put in it is already gone. And the winnings that you get from different bets or something that you get as a bonus for being their customer.
This is why it is always recommended that only put money into gambling that you can afford to lose. And the moment you step into the platform and deposit your money in it, should always consider it gone. If you're lucky, you get something in return. If not then just enjoy the gambling. Gambling is never a way of earning. So thinking that you can make money / quick money from gambling is a fool's job. Just keeping this in mind will also help with emotion control. As the money won't affect your decisions, so you will not take emotional decision.
