When I newly started gambling, I also had that dream of becoming rich with gambling but I didn't know that it was just an illusion, at first it seems like it's going to be possible to achieve that dream but I was only deceiving myself trying to believe that i can become rich through gambling. I continue with the dream for a short time until I understood that it's not going to be possible.
Am happy that you woke up to reality, many persons or will I say gamblers had such in mind that they are going to hit it big in gambling because when you want to place a bet, the potential win in the bet slip makes you feel that you have made it already, I don't know if anyone here feel smae way, although new gamblers are very dramatic, the reality is whatever dream any gambler has then is just a mere dream and it will do us good if we gamble with the mindset that losing is inevitable at least with such mindset we can actually gamble safely, although some perons have been lucky to hit it big in gambling but if you can ask them how much they have lost before they got lucky you'll know, am an advocate of gambling with what you can afford to lose to avoid going too extreme in gambling.
It will be wise of any gambler to even realize that the losses they might encounter from gambling is more than the profit they might make unless they are just very lucky and the earlier the person realize that the luck of winning a huge amount is so uncommon the better. Gambling is just like moving in a circle, you can win today and lose tomorrow, just like that the circle continues.
