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.
You're right, gambling all the time does not put you ahead of others in terms of who's taking gambling serious just as you said but is this suppose to be a good discussion in the first place, although I understand what you guys meant but I think gambling shouldn't be given much priority, am a gambler, I gamble on sport bets and I don't this on a steady but with what I can afford infact I don't even want think about whos is serious and who is not but my major concerns is staying safe thats what matters to me when I gamble, serious gamblers strikes and bounce, there are gambler that I know that play draw weekly, that's every weekend, I will tell you from free that people that gamble every day can't not spend much compared to what those guys gamble with in those weekly bases.
