I know this is common sense to the majority of people on this forum but I can't stress how important it is to gamble responsibly.
There was a recent case in Australia where a man lost his entire life savings of $400,000+ in a 48 hour gambling spree.
The gambler lost $12,000 in a single bet and then tried to chase that initial amount but ended up losing his life savings.
I am a seasoned and experienced gambler and my one piece of advice to people is to only bet what you can afford to lose otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure.
I would be helpful if you also included the source of the news about that man Lossing all his money to the casino, by the way. Not that we doubt your story (because it seems perfectly possible and it would not be the first time something like that happened to a gambler), but I assume there will be people here in the gambling section who feel curious and would like to read the article by themselves.
Also, I don't think it is an obvious thing to say we are supposed to be careful with our money when comes to casinos, actually, I am okey with some thread now and then coming up here so people can recall what they are never supposed to do when dealing with casinos.
Unfortunatelly, that man from Australia learnt the hard way about it, I hope he is okey by the way :c
