Statistically, our chances of winning consistently are very low. The chances of losing all our money are also very high. Anyone who faces this reality accepts that gambling is a form of fun. Because I have come to terms with this fact, I never bet more than the cost of a cup of coffee. Thus, my losses are close to the minimum. And at the same time I enjoy gambling. I don't think I'm addicted. And that's the best advice I can give to others. I wish everyone a happy, money and fun time.
If you follow risk management and as you say do not bet more than the cost of one cup of coffee, then your chances of losing all your money are minimal. Of course, in this case you do not have any addiction, for you it is entertainment, and for you it can even become a choice, not to drink one cup of coffee today and make a bet instead, it will not affect your budget in any way, even if you drink coffee and play it will not affect either, such an approach will never lead to addiction and in this case there is no point in even thinking about leaving gambling forever.
Yeah, that's small amount and it will not lead to gambling addiction. We can easily move on from it and forget how much we lost. Now, if we keep on depositing even small amounts, that's when the problem begins. I can say that from experience because I have been depositing $2 and betting for the minimum amount which is $0.02 or maybe less. I can lose like $30 in just hours of playing because I kept on chasing my losses.
So, the cost of a cup of coffee can actually hurt us if we are not responsible enough to stop whenever we lose the initial amount. There's must be strict discipline so that it won't ruin our budget.
