I think it’s really hard to enjoy when you’re losing. The fun only comes when you’re winning, even if you end up losing overall, just that moment of hitting a win feels good.

But that’s the path we all take as gamblers. We win some, we lose some, but most of the time, we lose more than we win. One big reason we lose big is when we lose control. I’ve been through that myself. a lot of times when I couldn’t control it, I ended up losing all my money, not just gambling money, but even the cash that was meant for other things.

That kind of experience isn’t fun at all. So I came to the conclusion that we only really enjoy gambling when we stick to money we can afford to lose.
