In sports betting or gambling, I always bet amounts that I won't be upset if I lose. But I have many friends around me who don't make it. I give them advice all the time, but they don't understand. Everyone reacts differently.
I remember people gave me advise when I was addicted to gambling, but I always think what they were saying was rubbish 
Betting habits, which start with small amounts, often grow in an effort to compensate. The cycle of chasing losses pushes people to uncontrolled, irrational risks. In my opinion, this is the most dangerous situation. The result is intense regret and depression. Remember that every decision made with mental fatigue brings harm. One mistake leads to another. If you are starting to incur losses, you should determine the stopping point well.
Despite that I am not addicted to gambling and betting anymore, I still noticed that if I am losing more, I still react to it by increasing the money that I am using to bet, but one thing I like about myself is that if my bankroll has finished, I stop gambling immediately and wait until next week. I do not deposit money into my gambling account at the time and I stopped gambling. 2% of my weekly income on gambling and not more.
