Also, it can become a stressful way of life especially if you are losing and can never get t back up again. You will just keep on chasing your losses and as it goes farther it gets more difficult to get back what you had lost.
I think the safest way is just to consider it as a game to pass the time because that's what it was meant for. Enjoy the game and just use the funds that you think you won't get hurt even if you lose it.
Save too after playing because alot of gamblers do not save and this make them to not be able ot have left over money that they can use to do something achievable. After winning you save not after losing because when you save after winning you have more money to choose from but if you save after losing, you will have less money to save from and it will make your decision to be that you will save tomorrow but it will never happen. People make the mistake to keep gambling every time with their money and their profit too without saving any. Gambling can get out of hand without you knowing therefore you have to be careful when gambling so you do not get carried away and turn into a gambling addict that has no achievement.
