I just suffered a significant loss in a gamble I played last night, but I didn't think much of it because I didn't use any capital at all, meaning I didn't make any deposits. I found a long-standing casino site that offered cashback, so I played there and managed to make a profit, but it soon disappeared again. I wasn't upset because that was inevitable, so I just accepted what happened and didn't dwell on it.
Unless, perhaps, there was an initial deposit, then we would think about the loss, or constantly think about it. The key lies in our own perspective on gambling.

Yes, winning and losing are normal, both big and small. The most noticeable loss is the initial investment, which we use to cover our living expenses for a month. However, if we had other profits or something we had already earned before, it might not have been a big deal. Realistic thinking is also necessary here.

In reality, your attitude towards gambling is that winning can be of any size, small or big. When you are not afraid of losing your money in gambling, gambling will be more attractive to you.

Experience and skill are certainly required, but in my opinion, the percentage is still small. The most important factor is our ability to control our emotions and avoid getting caught up in the get-rich-quick dream of the games we play. They know that the fear of losing money is a powerful resource that can be exploited by our opponents, regardless of who they are.
