I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better. I noticed that I significantly not gambling like before.

But how about the kind of entertainment or fun, are we still getting the same feeling either way?
I mean, when the bets are bigger, the thrill is way higher. We're definitely happier if we win that way, it feels more exciting compared to betting a small amount where, honestly, we’re not that happy when we win and not that affected when we lose.

It’s like the higher the risk, the more intense the emotion  and that’s what makes it more interesting for a lot of us.
That's the same for me, with big or small funds, the fun isn't changing and it's still the same. So, even if I change the amount of my bankroll, it doesn't compromise the fun that I am getting if I do it for entertainment. I think this is on the mind of the gambler and maybe there's a dopamine effect in it that if we don't gamble with smaller amounts, we'll not be satisfied. So, having a conclusion like that is really in our minds and on how we're going to change that perspective when we're mostly losing more money when we're already out of control.
