How many games that are truly categorized as gambling are there that allow you to win big when you can control your emotions? What if I am a dumb fuck, full of emotions and put all my money on a number in roulette and win? All this talk about controlling emotions may apply to some games where skill still plays a role, like in poker, but even there the players with the highest control over their emotions have no long term guarantee to be a winner. The word gambling implies that it is a game of chance. You can slightly increase your chance when you avoid bad moves, irrational moves, but after all it's still whether luck is with you or not.

The gambler who had a potential to control the emotions,they he will play the game without any temptation.So this alone give you big win in the gambling site,if you do the meditation.This will help to control the emotions in the gambling site.This seems you never play the gambling game,because the gambler who play the game will know the value of the control of the emotions in the gambling.In my gambling games,I had double the money once.At that time,my full game was played without any care of win or loss in the game.Because the initial money was from the bonus money from the gambling site.
On the time that you had been able to recover up yourself into that temporal addiction specially if its your first time on playing gambling then you would really be able to control yourself again into those next sessions on which i could say that it is really that indeed a good thing but its better to make yourself having in moderation when it comes to playing again because it doesnt mean that you wouldnt be able to get addicted again or having that odds or chance on getting addicted on the time that you do make those active sessions but well it would really be that still depending on you since its our money that we do gamble and not on others. As long you do make yourself that responsible and mindful about your spending then i would say that it is really just that fine but of course
having control would really be always that relevant.
The game is about controlling the play, not being controlled. Yes, your money, your decision. But gambling addiction is serious. Self-control is needed on this slippery path. You did it once - good job! But don't brag. New battles each session, and the enemy? The temptation to lose yourself in the game is it.

We gamble why? For excitement and fun! Escapism from the everyday. That's fine in moderation. The trick is to keep it light, keep it fun. Set and follow limitations. Step back when it gets boring. The house always has an edge, but you may win by enjoying yourself properly. We gamble for fun and not merely to win. The real victory is there.
