Many of us have learn a couple of lessons from other people comment and even apply some suggestions that have helped us to adjust our overall gambling experience till this very moment, so being lazy will only increase one chances to slide into troubles instead of avoiding them by following a set rules and regulations.
Those who take time to learn first to become aware of what to expect in gambling can prevent themselves becoming out of control since they know the risk of using their money in gambling. The reason why it's important that you know what you are getting into, and not diving into gambling just because you heard someone won a decent amount through playing a specific game. If you became attracted to play because of this (not knowing the risk) then chances are you'll have a high expectation that same fate will fall into you too.
Thus don't rush to play and know your limit to not spend the amount that you can't live without. This way you can gamble while not having problem about addiction since you have self-discipline.
