I try to control myself from gambling, but sometimes I get a strong attraction to gambling and I mainly do sports betting. So I can't control myself when my favorite team is playing. However, the amount of my bets never goes beyond my control, especially when I have little time on my hands and some money left over after meeting family expenses, my personal expenses, etc., I bet on gambling from a certain portion. I never bet from my bank account, even if I bet in my free time as a form of entertainment. In this case, if I ever face an unexpected loss, I try to control myself. I never try in vain to recover previous losses.
And it seems to me that when I try to bet on my favorite teams, I slightly give them preference and because of this my bets can be thoughtless.
Although I also don't play for big money, and losses don't matter much to me, they don't even greatly affect my bankroll, but even in spite of this I try to ensure that my deposit does not decrease too much, that is, I am much calmer in playing if I see that my balance is maintained at approximately the same level, or grows if possible.
