For the recreational gambler an important characteristic to have is the ability to simply accept their losses, it is obvious that everyone wants to win even if deep down they know this is unlikely, however once you lose you should simply take the loss and move on, the people that keep being mortified about their losses are the ones that are the most likely to then make a life-changing decision which could mark them, and in the worst-case scenario this could set the stage for an ongoing addiction.
Each gambler should be able to accept his defeat well. Although it is painful, if they can control the amount of money they lose at the gambling table, they will feel less disappointed. And if they lose large amounts of money at the gambling table, it is because they cannot control themselves. We have to continue living by accepting the defeat so that we don't intend to recover from the defeat because that will be difficult. And by accepting this defeat, we will be more careful in gambling so that we don't experience the same thing in the future. We must be able to prevent gambling addiction, especially since we have seen several people around us who experience it.
