Again, there should be a reason for why you gamble. For me, you are not losing this money, and it shouldn't be used as money to make a fortune to live in the days when you are old. You spend to feel the thrill of it, the odds, and to have a good time. You spend it for a service of sorts, where you can either win or lose, but you feel the thrill nonetheless, that's the main thing going about it. It's my opinion, of course, but if you gamble only to make a fortune, it's no wonder that the odds don't play in your favor. I do think the spirit of why you gamble and what's the reason behind it also matters.
The best reason for why we gamble is just to have fun but we don't have to playing gambling too often. That is for reduce our dependency to playing gambling to gets fun so we knows that we have many things to have fun. If we can allocates some money to playing gambling and have fun, we must strict to follow that rules so we don't have any problem when we playing gambling or after finish our gambling activity.
We have the thrill but we must stop ourselves from playing gambling immediately so we don't gets addicted to gambling. We will not thinks about double our money from gambling because we know that will only gives us lose of much money. But if you can win much money, you must remember that will be the best time to stops your gambling activity because you can double your money and it is not recommended to continue your gambling activity.
