I am beginning to think that the only time a gambler gambles for fun is only when he gambles with what he can afford to lose. In this case, a gambler has $10,000 as his savings, and he gambles with $1000 down, he or she won't feel sad when they lose it (it means they gambled for fun). But if a gambler who has the same $10,000 gambles for above $5,000, and he loses all of them, the gambler won't be happy about his actions, and it might result in chasing of losses (which means he didn't gamble for fun). It means that both those that say they aren't gambling for fun sometimes gamble for fun, mostly when they risk an amount they can afford to lose. The actual time you gamble for fun is when you risk what you can afford to lose and not when you say you want to gamble for fun. However, a gambler might say he will gamble for fun and still end up not gambling for fun when he starts gambling. One can know a responsible gambler if he starts gambling.

I think so. But the given sum is too huge in my opinion. I think that 10 percent of the total sum in your pocket is too much to spend these savings on gambling. I think that you can't spend more than five percent on gambling, and only if all basic payments and needs are paid. If not, then money should not be allocated for gambling. Because it's just entertainment.

But unfortunately, many players do not think so and primarily allocate money to gambling.

If you are a gambler, allocating some funds for this is already a part of your budget. Allocating 1% from the salary is not huge enough and not huge enough to lose if ever. But many gamblers spend more on gambling than allocating funds for investment, which is why they become broke almost every day. We could say that anyone can become a gambler, but not all can enjoy this because their intention is for such a thing in the first place but to multiply their money. Their wrong assumption got them badly in return, where they can never see happiness in there, but instead, it is full of chases and pressure.

As gamblers, we have to understand the significance of being true to ourselves and know what gambling is for us because this will also affect our mindset.
