Seeing this thread reminded me of a friend in our circle. He's a regular gambler & he makes deposit at almost every hangout we have. We (his friends) witnessed his glory days until his downfall, he used to say that gambling should be done responsibly & he was one of the people who implemented that mindset. But what happened now, he was bankrupt (meaning he didn't have much money left) & he still gambled saying he was a responsible gambler. It's funny, seeing his money gone on gambling & he still says he's a responsible gambler.

I think being a responsible gambler is difficult, because gambling involves not only money but also mental & psychological factors. Sometimes our mental & psychological factors create their own instincts, making it difficult for us to think clearly.
