When gambling for fun, it makes everything much easier for the player, he does not need to worry about following many rules, because he can easily afford to lose what he deposited, because the amount is not large. And in this case, the disappointment from losing will be minimal, or will not have any effect on the player at all. This can be regarded as if you decided to go bowling in the evening, but instead you decide to gamble with this money, then you would have spent this money on entertainment anyway, this approach also takes place.

That's the point, if your intention is to fill the entertainment part then it's not hard to quit after losing your allocated budget, just like what you have said instead of playing bowling you use the money to gamble if you set it as for enjoyment then you'll be able to stop whatever the outcome, unlike when you are aiming to win money and you are doing everything to make it happen pressures added and might cause you making mistakes deciding your next moves resulting to lose your balance.

At the very least, such an attitude can make it easier for someone to stop gambling immediately once the planned budget limit is reached, regardless of any potential winnings. This is clearly gambling purely for fun, even if the main pleasure lies in winning, it doesn't become a benchmark and doesn't affect one emotional state. There's no pressure, daily activities continue as usual, and no responsibilities are neglected. So, I think setting an initial goal before gambling is key. However, in many cases, the opposite happens, many people fall into ruin due to failing to understand how gambling works, and the impacts that arise from being careless in setting their initial goals.
