Hey, I understand that you are not a kind of gambler that like taking gambling activities too seriously and I wouldn't like it when you think that when everyone of us passes through the same path, we are going to get the same results. This is never true and I have seen so many aggressive gamblers that are making significant profits from betting.
Take a bold move to do the same was not an error or mistake even though I did not get the same result with other. I see this as a test run and any results that came out from such an activity was never regrettable. This a form of adventure to me and I never regretted it. Gambling is choice!
It's not about being a serious gambler no it's got nothing to do with that in my view, moreover, that a person is gambling regularly doesn't make them serious gamblers than those that are not regularly gambling everyday. I could be gambling twice to thrice a week and still be spending more than what a "regular (serious) gambler" may be spending all the week days in his gambling aggressiveness. Anyway, am glad you can take in your losses as they come and perhaps you could be correct by your own experience.
