Yes and that's what a gambler should do, gamble just for fun and use money according to the budget he has, don't overdo it in playing time and the number of bets so that no one gets addicted. And it is true that if someone gambles just for entertainment, when he loses then feeling regret is not too much of a problem for him because he already gets pleasure from being able to gamble. And I agree with you that if a person is not addicted to gambling then he is not doing bad things in his daily life.
although some play for fun. but still, those who bet hope to win. and sometimes when we are careful, we still get carried away by an atmosphere that is too exciting.
We have been careful in making bets and allocating funds. but there are still those who go too far and force themselves to keep betting with other money. maybe some gamblers have experienced such a situation. or even almost all gamblers have been addicted to continuing to bet.
Because they are not sure they can control themselves when gambling, sometimes someone finds it difficult to control themselves when playing because they are carried away by the atmosphere and temptation of gambling and this is experienced by many gamblers.
The experience that you have had before will of course also be experienced by other gamblers because it was a mistake because it was not balanced with good control in setting the bet amount and when to play. and as a result they can become addicted to gambling because they play excessively and are not careful in making all their decisions.
Therefore, it is a good idea for us to always be self-aware and with good control of course reduce the impact of gambling.
