I assume that people come to the gambling industry as inexperienced people. And in the process of their activities, they gradually learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, some of these mistakes are dramatic and cause us quite serious psychological trauma. As a rule, this is due to gross errors and stupid persistent beliefs that push us to the edge of the financial abyss.

First of all, this is risk management and money management. The second is probably unsystematic play. Let me make a reservation that I do not mean casinos, as well as people playing "for fun". I mean sports betting.
So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?

Every gambler spends a different amount of money on the gambling experience. Usually, they don't feel the loss and take losses for granted, but when they lose more, that's when the problems begin. Gamblers who lose a lot of money tend to push themselves to recoup their losses and will try as often as possible to win it back. They don't realize how much money they've spent trying to recoup their losses - they only realize it when their bankroll is low and they're facing financial problems.

I've never counted my losses so far - that's because I only play for personal, temporary enjoyment. I don't spend much money on experience - sometimes it's just an attempt to understand how the game appeals to me. I consider winning and losing normal - nothing more, but there are times when the urge to gamble comes when days are boring.

Right, never consider gambling a part of life. Gambling is not for profit, but for fun. One mistake while gambling is to bet again and again in the hope of getting back the money you have lost. Gambling should be started with money that will not cause financial problems if you lose it. Some strategies can be adopted to maintain self-control. Setting time and money boundaries, separating the gambling funds from the money we need, and taking a break after winning repeatedly while gambling is a wise thing to do. Adopting this strategy makes it possible to maintain self-control over yourself. I have lost very little money while gambling because I had self-control over myself.
