That’s normal, all of us, at some point in life, tend to overdo it with gambling. The important thing is to try to keep everything under control so we can keep playing in the long run… without going broke and having to give up the games we love so much. I try to play a little now and then, not every day anymore, because the risk of things getting out of hand is too high, but I still place my bets and play a bit. It’s fun. Lately, I’ve been losing money, but eventually, luck will be on my side again.
Gambling is actually very tempting and it is so easy to be carried away by euphoria. I believe you are right when you say that playing occasionally is a good idea to have some fun but without a lot of risk. It is all the matter of balance. It is irritating to lose money, but that is how the game is. The only thing that you need to do is to know the limit and never allow it to consume your life or your money. Good luck changes on you soon I hope. But do not forget to enjoy it instead of worrying about the victories and defeats.
