But it is very curious how much time spent in the game makes the player gradually move from the realization that this is all just a game, entertainment, and not just waiting for a big win. In addition, I think that almost all beginner players began their game in about the same way in the hope of winning. But gradually, time after time, round after round, the game turned into a habit and began to bring pleasure. I think that of course for different people with different characters and psychological profiles this time is still not less than about six months. And for some it can also be more than a year.

It took me a few months to understand that it is very difficult for me to earn money in gambling. For some time I balanced without big losses, for some time there were more losses and this reduced my bankroll.

But I was never able to increase my deposit, so I began to treat betting simply as a hobby. Maybe now I even began to make more predictions without bets, I try to evaluate my abilities in betting and I see that there is no big difference, the average statistics remain the same.

Initially, I also had it as a hobby, but now my betting is no longer limited to that hobby, but now I give more importance to money than a hobby. When I had gambling as a hobby, I would occasionally place two or four bets. If I liked it, I would continue, otherwise I would refrain. Now I bet to earn money and when I see that I win consecutive bets, more greed awakens in my mind and I bet more. In this case, the events turn in the opposite direction and instead of profit, there is loss. Sometimes the amount of losses increases so much that I don't have enough money in my balance to support myself and my family.

This is of course a sad development of events, but if you yourself realize that your passion for the game already exceeds what all players unanimously consider the norm. And the norm in gambling, in my opinion, is such a state of the player's finances that do not seriously reduce his usual life. And even more so, these costs do not violate the financial well-being of other family members of such a player. So if you yourself understand this, then this is definitely a step in the right direction and it is worth deciding and not spending more on the game than you can afford without further problems.
