Yeah, maybe it's difficult.  And a novice to gambling would still rather not read warning posts from experienced players, but would prefer to simply play for fun.  And of course, lose, lose your money, but also gain your own experience.  But starting from a certain point, especially if such a beginner begins to understand that something is wrong in his game, he still begins to read what more experienced players write.  In my opinion, this stage of perception of information about gambling from experienced players will begin earlier, which will be better for this newbie. 
By the way, he will most likely lose less money.
Well without going too far, when I was a beginner I played alone, I was gaining experience but I still felt like I was losing a lot of money and that was something I couldn't stop, no matter how many strategy videos I watched on YouTube I always ended up losing, one of the ways I understood more about the game was by comparing some things with trading and reading the posts on the players' forum, and although at first I couldn't find what I was looking for, I read advice that was very useful to me, currently my biggest learning is that you have to control your money so you don't have to control your emotions or something similar , so if at this point I do take up the game as a hobby again I know I won't lose money like when I was a newbie.

Oh yeah!  This is truly the best advice and it just means that you are as close as possible to the category of gamblers who are considered Pros.  Although you may not consider yourself such a player, it is the pros who know that they will not lose their money in the long run.  More precisely, they think so and are sure that this is almost guaranteed.  But of course they also have failures.  But this is rather a discussion about how to always and under any external circumstances control your emotions and the logic of your actions.
It is people that have self-control when gambling and will not go against overspending funds for gambling or go beyond their gamble budget that can take gamble as their hobby because they already have the understanding that they don't need to think of profit all the time but accept whatever the outcome of their bet is.

I got trapped by addiction for long and when I was able to overcome it, I started gambling occasionally to see how I can start gambling again but let it be in the lowest minimal so that I don't get trapped again. I am enjoying the way I gamble because I only gamble when I have chance depending on my mood at that moment.
