I get your point about recommendation 3 being a bit harsh. However, let's not forget that for many people, especially those with limited financial means, the stakes can be too high even with small bets. It's like they say, "it's better to be safe than sorry". But at the same time, I also understand the thrill of taking a chance, especially when you're in a tough spot and thinking that a big win could change everything. It's a delicate balance, isn't it?
That’s correct, small money can be big money for those who are not wealthy, which makes the OP’s number 3 recommendation a bit harsh like you have noted, but if we read down to the other statement the op made in that number 3 their was emphasis on trying to use smaller amount to chase big win which is a very common character and practice among some gamblers they use small money to aim at big win which if it’s their lucky day then they win.
