I don't gamble like a compulsive gambler so I don't need to track or test myself to see how my gambling activity is and whether I'm on the wrong track or the right track. I'm not too excited about gambling. When I'm not working and I have completely free time, I gamble to pass the time and it's very small. I like to gamble with small amounts of money as much as possible and my amount is never more than $100. My lucky number is 70 so I gamble with $70 most of the time and the winning ratio is high. I don't know how it happens and I don't think I'm smart enough for it. I think I'm on the right track.

Your gambling approach doesn't look like a stressed gambler. Keeping track of wins and losses only makes gamblers more frustrated and stressed - and may even lead them to try something even more financially damaging. Many gamblers try to chase wins to cover their losses - instead of winning, they end up losing everything.

Gambling should be like that - use a limited amount of money, limit your time and just enjoy the game. It doesn't have to be anything ambitious and of course gambling is not a job even though many people do it on a daily basis. But I have to say about addiction - you don't have to be compulsive to be addicted to gambling, generally speaking you are an addict to gambling if you do it repeatedly.

I know that gambling too often can lead to a kind of addiction, so I try to play 2 days a week. Although some weeks I play a little more. Recently I have been gambling too often because I was winning so often. But I have brought myself under control and convinced myself that this could be the cause of my addiction.

Yes, I definitely gamble with limits, I never let my deposit amount exceed $100. And I only deposit once a day, which is within my rules. Because I know very well that if I make a habit of depositing multiple times even after losing, it will arouse my emotions. That's where I might lose with my emotions, and become addicted, which will be a serious loss for me.

The key on here is that self awareness on what you are doing on which it isnt just that limited on gambling alone but also in other things as well. If you do have that kind of awareness or simply into your sense then you would be able to act out accordingly on what are the things that you would gonna need into. Gambling experience is something that shouldnt be stressful and thats why its that recommended that you should be that only putting or using up on the funds on which you can afford to lose. Gambling experience would be that somewhat stressful if you do keep on minding on how to make money with it on which this is the primary mistake on where most gamblers do on which they've been that believing that they can make money at the time that they do play on which the reality tells that it cant be just that possible on this case because dealing up with something that a game of chance will definitely be having that no assurance about into the positive results or outcomes. If you do find yourself having some issues about losing up too much money, then it is just that right that you should be stopping on doing it on the right time before anything goes wrong or gets messy. We do know that the main thing that would be affected on here is into your financial condition on which at the time that you wont be able to stop at the right time then you would definitely be having some issues later on and you will be having that regret in the end.
