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.
You're right, although I'm Honestly not close to being a professional, because there are many players who have been in the Game for longer , and they really have the characteristics you say, they can lose in the long term and they don't lose control, however, despite Having some control over the game, I wouldn't take it as a hobby because that Would imply that it Could be done Every day and well , Playing like that in me I don't think I would be prepared for what a daily expense implies and according to my Commitments it's not ideal and it wouldn't be responsible either, but when it comes to having a lot of money maybe I would do it , but I would Focus on helping Others , I think that's better.
You correctly noted that a hobby is something that means doing it every day, and gambling is very dangerous if you do it constantly. It's just that gambling is not a harmless hobby like painting or collecting coins.
On the contrary, this is something that can make your pockets empty, and you can also very much regret that you spent time on this matter.
However, if you gamble every couple of weeks, I don’t think it will be harmful. The main thing is not to do this constantly, because habits are formed precisely because of consistency.
