In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.
Something must make someone become responsible in gambling or at least try to become responsible, but mine is far different from yours. I didn't let the remark of learning by experience affect me, so I have been cautious of the losses in my thoughts, for this, I guarded against it from the beginning till date.
As for the voting on this poll, I voted for the "I am a responsible person" because ever in my life, I am the kind of person who likes to be very careful, abhor what is not good and always move toward what is good. This prevented me from gambling when I was younger and even when I became an adult. I also got to the university before I started gambling and it was at the time that my course was about 85% completed before I started gambling. I can't remember the age again, but I was so mature them and smarter. This has helped further in making me a responsible gambler and I make sure that I take my gambling portfolio very seriously no matter what.
Above all, gambling has been so positive on my path because I focus on the money-making on sports betting, if not, I would only have been gambling for fun and using a very low amount of money for it. With this, there is no way I will lose so much in it not to mention of being irresponsible about it because my intention will never be for the money anymore.
