I am beginning to think that the only time a gambler gambles for fun is only when he gambles with what he can afford to lose. In this case, a gambler has $10,000 as his savings, and he gambles with $1000 down, he or she won't feel sad when they lose it (it means they gambled for fun). But if a gambler who has the same $10,000 gambles for above $5,000, and he loses all of them, the gambler won't be happy about his actions,

Someone being fine with losing a thousand dollars from 10k savings, bugs me, because I would not be fine and regret the decision to gamble in the first place. It is a huge amount of money from where I come from. Still as long as it is kept within the "fun" domain it is fine. There should be a ceiling on the max budget to be spent on gambling otherwise the spending becomes difficult to keep track of.

Bankroll management and risk management are two thing if a gambler starts to do they will no longer be an addict.

I agree, a thousand dollars out of ten thousand is a lot for a gambler that understands risk management and gambling responsibly, it's better to use ten percent of what you have to gamble and if that ten percent is exhausted then you shouldn't try to bet again for a week or maybe a month, this puts you in control of your finances and makes you utilize money quite well instead of throwing it away.. addiction starts when you decide to chase your losses no matter how small they are
