Dont get this twisted, every cent counts and dont get carried away with that phrase that gambling with a small amount take ways the impact of loses and the feeling that comes with that.
In gambling, fun comes from winnings, regardless of the amount, same goes with loses too, no gambler ever have fun losing, so there is no such thing and gambling with amount you can affords to lose.
That is us just being sarcastic, trying to point out rhe lesser evil between gambling with huge amount or gambling with small amount.
You are talking just like the poor people, because to the rich this is an example of what sets the poor aside, why? The poor don't ever want to lose a penny, even when they make let's say 100 in a week they can't take risk with a penny, that's greediness too.
If every penny you earned matters so much to you then sorry to say you aren't going anywhere, people like you can't invest in stocks and start up projects because every penny matters so much to you.
I will start getting worried if I am risking 50 percent of my income on something and I have no result to show for it, but what about risking 1percent? If nothing ever comes out of it then I won't feel bad, it is like risking nothing..
I still have 99 percent of my income with me, this is like risking nothing.
