Exactly, gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity like any other but perhaps the difference is that you have to spend money as capital to be able to engage in gambling without having excessive expectations of winning and I would say that the best approach to gambling is to think that the money you spend is money to pay for the game you have played and enjoyed, and not as capital to be multiplied.
The best part on gambling that enjoyable the most is the expectation to win big when you play because this optimism makes you enjoy the game. It’s very hard to enjoy gambling without thinking about winning because that’s the only reason why we gamble. No one is gambling to lose or expecting to lose despite the odds of losing is high.

To enjoy gambling, You need to become optimistic and at the same time play only what you can afford to lose so that you will not experience the urge to recover losses in case the result is bad for you on that day.

Yes I understand that and we can't hide from the fact that after all it is the winnings that make gamblers feel good, but this is what ultimately becomes the problem or what causes problems for most gamblers, as you said it is the winnings that make gamblers feel good, but of course it is very important to just consider that the winnings are nothing more than a bonus that you get from the gambling that you play, because when a person is too much in terms of responding to victory then in the end like some cases that have happened a lot where instead of getting a bigger win but they instead suffer from losing large amounts slowly and I would say that it is the behavior of gamblers who try to take advantage of the opportunity to win in gambling when in fact the possibility of losing will continue to lurk during your session.

This is the reason why gamblers are always advised to put a lot of restrictions such as in terms of the time of involvement and the amount of budget and most importantly to limit the expectation of winning, everyone can win and winning can be very enjoyable but it is too dangerous to be taken too seriously, meaning that having a proper understanding of how gambling works and also limiting the expectation of winning is key.
