yes! gambling should be for those with disposable income, not a way for people to try to get rich, if the odds were better maybe we'd have a different conversation here, but taking into account as it is now this is probably the best idea... you know what I mean?

too many poor people betting money that would be much better if invested than if wasted on the game boards...

Disposable income? I say just the excess amount that he or she is willing to lose. But I have to warn some new gamblers, that they must stop once they reach that amount because once you deposit again, this is where it goes wrong.
It's okay to play with a little risk and I think that gives some people the adrenaline to make their day and there are those who cannot swallow the reality that they might lose so they will keep on depositing more to chase their losses. I say this is sometimes about ego and pride especially with men, they cannot accept the lost especially if it is hard-earned money and so they will keep on chasing it back.
I remember a friend telling me that he was frustrated losing $1 in an online casino and said he should've just bought it with cigarettes instead. That kind of people don't like losing and thankfully he stopped afterward.

Yeah right, if you can't control your emotions then you are prone in losing a lot since you are not willing to let go whatever you lose then you'll be force to add more in order to recover those money, it only adds pressure to you since you wanted to quickly recover your money placing you in a situation where you will just add more money each time your balance got emptied.

Better to quit while you still have the chance and forget about those amount, think about it as payment for your entertainment and nothing more, with that perception you'll be able to stop and not to push yourself to keep on playing.

For a gambler to be able to control his emotions, he must use the amount of money that he van afford to lose. That will make him let go of his losses. Also, he must not be greedy, because some gamblers after losing little amount, they will love to double their next bet to recover their losses with an additional profit. Only gamble for fun, and see your money as what you are using to pay for entertainment.
