True. Rich people won't have a problem when they lose small money in gambling. They just have fun with gambling although they also expect to win the games. However, since the rich people have enough money, they never try to gamble excessively and chase the wins whenever they lose in gambling games. It will be different if people who have limited money and they are gambling. They must expect to win the games because they dream to get the money from gambling to improve their financial condition. But gambling will never be the right solution to get regular money and no guarantee to win huge money in gambling. Sadly, when the poor people lose money in gambling, they have no enough money to survive. This trigger them to play more excessively with loan money. The bad impact of this habit, the poor people can be trapped on the loan money. It is because they are unable to repay the loan. Also, they will be addicted because they will be very often trying their luck in gambling.
Actually, the thought of winning creates excitement for me and when I happen to lose and try over again and again, this feeling of excitement turns in calculations and suddenly, my seriousness level rises to the point that once I snap out of it, I simply find something else to do.
Hence one reason why I remain un-addicted to gambling and I only do so when I have no where to go or when am not so engaged or am just passing time by trying not to think so much and so deep or sleep off too soon.
I see that you have a good goal of doing various ways to stay away from addiction, but on the other hand I disagree with the way you have because I think it is precisely the way that will only make it easier for a gambler to enter and fall into the addiction phase, namely as you said that you have an approach where your mindset is always focused on winning, However this is a mindset that is better avoided when you become a gambler because after all winning will not always be able to happen according to what you want, and if you have thoughts like that then it means you will only lead yourself to significant disappointment because from the start you only focus on winning while gambling is always about winning and losing which victory cannot come only by relying on confidence.
On the other hand, I understand that winning creates excitement, but if the win hasn't happened yet and you already have excessive confidence and excitement in the journey of pursuing that win then indirectly that thinking will only make us feel more disappointed when it turns out to be a loss. Another thing is that I support your idea of only using gambling as a leisure activity when you don't have anything else to do.
