Please stop thinking of gambling deposits as investments.
Unless you are buying a casino token or investing into their bankrolls, they're mere balance deposits and not an investment.
There shouldn't be any plans on gambling. It needs to be an on-the-go process, which means at some point we might feel lonely or want to gamble. By the time we need to just spend little and end the session. With gambling we should have the mentality to forget when the session ends. We shouldn't think of it later, which is how the addiction begins. When we start thinking, we find a way to allocate funds as well as time to gamble. As suggested, it is always good to invest in the gambling platforms rather than trying our luck risking huge money.
It's good and worry free but there's also risk in it.
The thing is you're going with the house and that doesn't mean you are unbeatable. There are also moments that the house becomes defeated based on how lucky the other gamblers are.
But if you're looking for an outlet and another source of income, it's better to become an investor through what I've explained than the typical customer and gambler.
