I realize that, and of course will do better with my gambling. Sometimes, seeing other people's experiences is not enough to give a warning about bad things that can happen. Gamblers learn more from their own experiences to be able to control themselves better.
Losing streaks provide lessons for every gambler to pay more attention to the gambling they do, so as not to cross the line. Not only for me, but most gamblers who are still unable to control their gambling well.

Seeing other people's experience is enough for us to learn from their mistakes so we don't do the same as them. We can avoid what make them loss too much in gambling so we can just use enough money to gamble. We don't have to fear with the loss in gambling because that can happen anytime. We should avoid losing streaks from gambling especially if we don't use too much money. That is why we must be a wise gambler who know the situation so we can make a right decision.

Idea of a "wise gambler" sounds both funny and sad at the same time. Yes, it is possible. But rare. No one goes into a gambling thinking they'll be the one to fall. But somebody always does

You're preaching controlled fun, which I respect . Seriously. But gambling doesn't let you know when it's no longer fun. It goes from being exciting to being dangerous very slowly. That's the risk. You feel like you’re in control way past the point you’re actually not

Seeing other people blow their stack should be enough for a lesson. But humans aren’t copy-paste learners. We're emotional people who act like we're logical. We sometimes take risks not because we want to forget the past, but because we think we'll be the exception. We tend to exaggerate our odds. We narrate our losses. We gamble with identity, not just money

the wise gambler is the one who can manage risk and manage their emotions
who know how to identify when lucky is on his or her side and can keep on their streak, the one who avoids ruin and who stick to these values as the most important ones regardless of how they feel inside from day to day

have you read this book about a gambler by Dostoyevski? it's a really good one
