That's if you are not even addicted to gambling already, a addicted gambler always have one goal in mind, '( I have to make back all I have lost ), this is where the beginning of the end begins.
This is the case with most desperate gamblers, gambling isn't a profession, its just for fun and that's what everyone going into it should understand even before engaging.
As soon as desperation sets in, you're destined for doom cos you're blinded from all angles and can't even see that you're sinking or that its not a good day for you. In gambling, there are good days as well as bad days. When you're in your good days and winning well, you recover and get good gains, but when the bad day starts, your ability to recognize it early enough and quit it momentarily saves you from desperation which arises from losing too much and a deadly inner drive to recover all you've lost instantly before taking a break. We know too well that this doesn't always go as planned leaving the victim utterly frustrated.
Gamblers should be able to use gambling as entertainment and not make it a profession because they will only fail and also lose a lot of money. They will be discouraged, depressed, frustrated and various other negative feelings that will make them determined to keep trying until they succeed. Instead of succeeding, they will end up losing more because gambling is not a way to make money. They might be able to win but the win is still far from breaking even so the harder they try, it will only increase the number of losses even greater. We must not be like that gambler, especially if we have started to learn about self-control and limits, which can prevent us from experiencing more losses.
I gamble for fun often but if it's solely for entertainment, go for your favourite games elsewhere, but if it's for the context of "gambling" then it can't solely be taken as you seem. Fine, people could gamble for fun, but I tell you, the percentage of those who would truly be gambling for this purpose is so little, the majority are in for the money. It would only be unwise for people to believe that gambling is now the avenue they will be rich, that's what causes most of their desperation and that mindset has to change in order not to cost them money and even their sanity.
Of course, there are gamblers who are good in their games, they make money regularly and seeing the advice of not thinking that gambling can't make one a stable income will be to them like you are taking their source of income from them. But for how they do it to gain regularly, I don't know, but one thing I know is that if most people follow their footsteps, they will blame themselves as the end conclusion all the time based on experience is that gambling is not easy, there are more losers than winners, and the more you want to win, the more you lose if you do not apply wisdom.
I nevertheless encourage gamblers to learn more, this has exposed some people to more know-how on how to earn. But no one should ever believe that they can rely on gambling for consistent earning especially when they are responsible persons or at least want to be.
