Of you are playing for fun then low stake gambling is in my opinion a way to go. Just one must limit the amount of money he is willing to lose and when he reaches the limit just stop immediately. The biggest problem is when someone starts gambling without clear limit how much is he willing to lose or lack of discipline to stop when the limit is reached.
We used to say that; "gamble what you afford to lose" and we have never been wrong in telling that.
Because if you're up for low stakes as you gamble, you'd not feel the impact of it and you can totally gamble for as much as you can until you ran out of funds.
And you won't feel bad about it because that bankroll is bearable and you can easily earn that again maybe in some other source of income of yours.
