Fact is that if you've never paid attention to how much you spend on your minor wants, chances are high that you can never make proper budgeting for your gambling.
Sometimes, the amount we spend on things that don't add anything to us is always more than the amount we spend on gambling and for gambling expenses, it's even better because there's a chance that you might win and get a return from what you've put into it but for the regular expenses, once it's gone it's gone for good and it's easy to spend so much on small items without even knowing that a lot is already going into such as long as you're not taking record of such expenses.
If you want to practice proper gambling budgeting and see that it works effectively, you first have to start from personal budgeting and then you can easily implement it in your gambling.
What's your take on this?
That's right if we actually pay attention to the amount of money we spend on minor wants we would be surprised how much it would be but then these wants are too many that sometimes they come unexpectedly making it difficult to keep track of them. If you don't have a budget or plan you will be spending more than you should on certain things neglecting other things.
With proper planning you will be able to allocate some amount to gambling while still have spare change for some minor needs but you will have to base everything on percentage and above all you need to be disciplined to keep this act going for a long time.
