Just always be aware of tha possibility to lose everything. Happened to the friend of mine on several occasions, and it wasn't pretty. I try to manage myself through the separation of funds, for an instance, if I wanna bet on Dplay, an online casino, I only deposit an amount of XFUN which I am ready to part my ways with. It's the only way to be able to experience the fun parts, instead of grappling with debt from the very start.
