As far as gambling is concerned, I know that it isn't easy to gamble with the amount you can afford to lose because I have been in your shoes in the past. There was a time when I found it difficult to control the amount of money I used in gambling, and I was gambling very often even when there were no football matches. I would still go ahead to forecast basketball, tennis, and baseball, so I would just make sure I placed a bet for that day. It was when I analyzed the amount of money I had spent on gambling and how much money I made from gambling that I realized that gambling was doing me more harm than good to my finances, so I reduced how often I gambled since I was not always winning my bets, which also helped me to reduce the amount of money I used in gambling.
Well what happens is that sometimes we are presented with very Difficult Situations but what you say is key and the "frequency" with which one plays , I Would Say that that is also a Turning point that can generate a lot of distraction , but in the discipline is how to control that situation, as I have said many times, once the money willing to lose runs out, then that's the end of the Party , Nothing else can be done, and that is the Main thing that we must fulfill , it is hard, it is not easy , Because at first one feels bad, but it can be achieved.
The difficult thing is accepting defeats, some gamblers can't accept defeats that's why after losing the amount they are willing to risk they also make another deposit and continue gambling. And looking at this differently, it seems those that doesn't accept defeats in gamble are gambling to make winning from it because after losing they become desperate to win and recover their losses. Not accepting defeats from gamble can lead to more losses and addition.
