Also if the day comes and you decide to leave gambling behind you will not feel any kind of regret about it, you will simply remember the good times and all the fun you had, even when you lost, but those that bet too much money will have way bigger problems leaving gambling behind, as instead their memories will be very bitter as they will remember all the money they have lost and all the things they could have done with that money.
Yeah better to deal with it like this and make things in a positive way, instead of taking it seriously as source or as venue for money making it's always best to treat it as part of your entertainment, though it's not easy but there are pro and experienced gamblers who can work on it and make things happen, either they can earn or just pure entertainment.
Taking things the right way is always your responsibilty as bettors, make sure to take your wise decision to avoid messing with your finances.
A great deal of the problems gamblers face have to do with their inability to decide what kind of gambler they want to be, they want to gamble for fun or they want to become a pro? If they just want to gamble for fun then they need to give up on the idea of gambling for money completely, and simply enjoy their journey, however if they really want to try to become professional gamblers then they really need to research their game of choice and improve their skills over a period of time and forget about getting fun from gambling, as in that case gambling will be just like any other job, and very few people actually enjoy their job that much.
I may have to disagree with you, judging from real fact is that, no body enjoys losing money, this is one thing I think i have stated on this forum and on this board over and over again, so even if you chose to gamble for fun, without any winning from time to time, gambling will become very boring, since there are still several other means through which a person could have or catch fun without having to spend or lose too much money in the process unlike gambling.
So, whether a gambler chooses to become a professional gambler, or a gambler who just wants to have fun, the truth is that, both of this category of gamblers still need winnings, atleast to make the game enjoyable - a proverb in my place states that, when two dogs are playing, their happiness is that, when one fall for the other, that other one will also fall the one.
