Gamble with the money you can lose.

If this is what a gambler will always do, he will definitely not become addicted in the end because, from the beginning, you know how much money you will lose when you play gambling. This is what is called you; the amount you will play in gambling is limited.

Because usually your only intention is to have fun, to have fun, to pass the time, you only do it because you have problems that you are going through, so you think that playing gambling will help you to think properly because you will temporarily forget the problems that you are facing.

Sounds easy but it would really be that hard for you to maintain it out as you do go further ahead with your gambling activity on which those initial thoughts and plans that you do have will
really be gradually changing up as you do go ahead and this is something not new and something typical if we do speak about gambling. Its true that when it comes to gambling then tons of people would really be that having those impressions that easy win would really be just that too rampant specially if you have experience those beginners luck kind of thing then you would be molding
up that kind of mindset that it was just that easy and its just right that you should be continuing on what you are doing until reality would slap into your face. Cheesy

Maybe more precisely is easy to say but difficult to do Grin

I think this problem is no longer strange, some gamblers try to build a plan at the beginning along with applying some limits for precautions to minimize the number of losses is not too significant, on the other hand I think it's a pretty good plan for an approach, but unfortunately it is not uncommon or even very many of them who in the end when facing real situations they break all the promises they have built at the beginning. That is the reason why many end up with addiction, sometimes people who already have a good plan can end up with addiction because they cannot resist all the temptations that exist in every situation, well let alone those who do not prepare any precautions at all and instead act aggressively because they are too focused on winning.

Usually beginners who experience more things like that in my opinion, it is none other than because they do not have full firmness in their planning so it is easy to be shaken just because they see one or two temptations that look like tempting, on the other hand the first win can really change the mindset and point of view of gamblers, thinking that winning is quite easy to get so it is true what the OP said that the first win is very likely to be a trap for them to end up in addiction.
