During your vacation are you still playing gambling? I'm sure after that loss you didn't enjoy your beach vacation because you lost more than $500 due to carelessness, but fortunately at home you can recover the previous loss, so you don't have to worry too much.
Awareness is important during the holidays we have to enjoy it, don't think playing gambling is more fun if you lose it will be more stressful so I won't gamble during the holidays.
What if someone has lost a lot and then comes back again expecting to win back and that person is unlucky, then the defeat will double.
