I never counted, but I think I have much bigger losses than gains. It is not hard to conclude that, but the thing is I never had big expectations of gambling. Sometimes I try out the site I find on forum and sometimes I just play on sites I already tried.
I mostly set a limited budget that I am willing to gamble and then count the losses in the end. I don't gamble with expectations to earn money.
The good thing about not having expectations in gambling even when a game ends as lose you don't have to be worried because you are already anything can happen. It only takes one who understands gambling very well not have any expectations I gambling. Too much expectations in gambling sometimes mislead people in the way they gamble which they can decide with so much amount of money expecting that it will end up as win for them. As a gambler it is a good thing to understand that anything can happen, this will help one and guide one gamble just with the amount they can afford.
Gambling is unpredicted, their is no need to expect so much from it because if the outcome of gambling is not what one is expecting it can cause to get emotional.
Expecting big on gambling can indeed make us sometimes experience worse things, many people are addicted and experience life destruction because they expect too much on gambling while when they get results that tend to end in disappointment, they cannot accept it and have thoughts of wanting to recover losses that make them gamble again with the aim of pursuing victory which is actually something they should not do because defeat will be more dominant.
Exactly what you said gambling cannot be predicted accurately, some people believe that they can predict the gambling they do will be able to make them succeed in getting victory for sure but the results that occur are still defeats that occur more often.
A tendency to gamble more to recoup losses after a loss, this type of mentality is what causes gamblers to suffer the most. And it is because of this tendency that they fall into gambling addiction. They cannot get out of gambling even after facing many losses, they only want to compensate for their losses after losing, or when they win, they keep gambling to win even bigger. And in both cases, they can never enjoy the win, they only face losses.
However, there is a 90% chance of losing in gambling, so gambling should be seen only as entertainment, and maintaining self-control is very important.
Yes, I agree with you on the subject of self-control. A gambler should have self-control and ensure the safety of his money if he is not in the position of losing too much money. Success for those patient gamblers who gamble for entertainment and can limit it to a limited extent. Limitation is the allocation of money and time allocation as you have to focus on the fact that the situation of losing in gambling is increasing and you can lose more money as more time passes in that situation you should stop because you would loss more. Be preventive than making up for the loss after losing so that money can be retained and the tendency to get entertainment regularly. Avoid the habit of gambling more in the hope of getting more profit and limit it with special qualities like self-control.
