The thing is, when you set your budget aside for gambling then consider that money as lost already.
This way, when you lose the money you won't feel more disappointed since you had already considered that money as lost.
In case you win, you will get more than happy to have won an amount you thought you would lose.
That’s not a good mindset because it takes away the challenge in gambling. I believe it’s still good to feel confident that we can win, as that positive mindset might even attract some luck.
But at the same time, we shouldn’t ignore reality, we could lose, and we need to accept that possibility.
Personally, I know I could lose my money, but I don’t go into it expecting to lose. I still stay optimistic and aim to win while keeping my expectations realistic.
I would rather chose to consider it lost. Why ? because at the end, you lose it all.
It's just that if you win money you get to play longer whereas if you lose, you deposit more money again.
Just think about it. What would you do if you win ? Even if you think you will withdraw it, at some point you will have to deposit more money to gamble again.
When you tally it, you will find out that the amount you deposit into gambling account will always be more than what you withdraw.
