The curiosity led me to come ask if this has happened to anyone before, having double mind to stake game. Something keep telling you don't stake while the other says go ahead which would you choose if you were the one? Please your response are greatly needed.
There will always be a state or feelings of inferiority complex especially dur to a situation whereby you encounter loss while trying to to achieve something and it'll seem like there's no more hope after the loss, so that's the reason most people nurse that fear of trying again after that great loss. But mostly what I usually let people consider basically in gambling is that they should always set up their minds to receive something as this so when it comes there won't be any cause for alarm.
You are right, another thing too is, a gambler should always set out the amount they can afford to lose at the moment they are gambling or betting. For example, if I say I want spend $10 today in gambling, and I make the decision that it's either I lose the money or I make 3x of the money, so until I lose it all, I will not have the fear of continuing to gamble. Some people ignore making budget to gamble, that's why they cultivate such fear too.
Many people do not understand how much they can actually spend on gambling without affecting their everyday expenses. To accurately know the amount of free money, you need to keep a budget, recording all expenses. In addition, you need to take into account not just ordinary expenses, but also all force majeure expenses (a tooth hurts, needs to be treated, etc.). And then it will become clear how much you can afford to lose in gambling on average. I have seen few people who calculated their expenses this way, and there were no average gamblers, unfortunately.
Often, people's expenses are simply spontaneous, and they cut back on expenses for everyday needs due to their greed and lack of restraint in spending.
