On the long run, players are the ultimate losers
That's a fact, and the earlier people know and plan their gambling habits well, the better, otherwise, they'll see the other side of gambling. The gambling industry is increasing and flourishing yearly, which could only mean that there are more losers who are making it flourish with their money.
this is why I choose to be a humble gambler who risk very small money, people critize me because I choose to risk too very little money, they keep saying I won't win a lot, but I don't care, because the roller coaster never ends.
Strangely, I am positive in gambling, I hold the record of making more money than losing, and I've been gambling since around 2006. So I buy your idea, a small mount that is well-planned and managed is a good one. Also, the gambler must not gamble anyhow, but have a winning gambling strategy and pattern.
