An old friend always tells me that if I want to get the best out of gambling and don’t feel emotional for all the best which I will lose, I should consider the money which I spend in gambling as either money I donated to charity and don’t expect anything in return,....
Stick to that my friend of yours as you have a wise friend. If only everyone had that kind of mindset about gambling, no one would ever get addicted. Instead, even though losses are unavoidable, we would still be happy and truly enjoy the entertainment side of gambling.
It's quite a crazy concept or resolve but it's actually a sincere resolve this is basically because if you take gambling too seriously you will definitely end up either in addiction or great loss. Either way too much of an emotional tie to gambling wether as a result of winning or as a result of losing doesn't really end up well.
The problem of emotional gambling is tied to both greed and non understanding in most cases not necessarily online or offline gambling. People get hurt most when the lose what they can't afford.
