Very easy. Use gambling as a form of entertainment. Let me explain. People spend $200 to go to a sporting event or a concert to their favorite singer so whats the differemce if ypu take $200 to go to the casino to gamble with. Once ypu change ypur mindframe from "i habe to win to make money", to usijg gambling as a form of entertainment the days with losses arent so bad mentally and the stress behind gambling decreases.
Easy and simple, however, it sounds in words. In reality, everything is much more complicated and problematic. For me personally, it would be difficult to stop playing if I lost $200 in gambling. This is a loss that I want to get back. This is where the most "interesting" part begins. I remember myself. I became so addicted to gambling that I did not notice how the days fly by. Back then, there were no online casinos, but there were slot machines in special rooms. The atmosphere was created so that a person felt as comfortable as possible and did not realize how quickly time flies. You want to continue playing again and again. Until your pockets are completely empty. Such a trap.
