We have said it several times without number on this gambling board that gambling is not for making money. Gambling should only be for fun.
Or let me put it this way. If you want to gamble, either for fun or to make money, do not use more than 1% to 5% of your weekly income on gambling. The recommended percentage is 1% but I do not see 5% affecting me. So if you can not go more than 1% of your weekly income, do not go more than that.
If gambling is taking your money, do not gamble again.
Yes, I completely agree with your idea that gambling is not a place to make money but nothing more than a playground that should only be visited when you want to have fun and without bringing any seriousness in treating it. One of the reasons for this is that there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win at the end of the session which means that it is very likely that you will lose in the end. Looking at the case of the person in the video above then I think we can already conclude that he is one of the gamblers who has entered the phase of chronic addiction where he does not care about his family even when his wife is giving birth but he is thinking about gambling, of course this is a very worrying situation.
The things you mentioned here such as paying more attention to the limits by putting the budget amount no more than 5% is very good and all of them lead to preventive measures, besides being able to prevent yourself from the possibility of addiction it can also keep you at a balanced level in terms of finances, and my advice is to emphasize to yourself that gambling is nothing more than a game of probability that only provides "possibilities" and not "certainties".
