Am not even a gambling just like you said but from my observation and numerous topics have come across on the forums, people keep illustrating and making emphasis on how they outline their gambling budget and I doubts if it can really be possible, because the casinos and other gambling platforms that are known got all it takes to keep you coming for more.
It's your point of view , there's nothing impossible if you can hold it yourselves, I saw lot's of people disscusing about their weekly , monthly budget in this topic. It's nothing wrong and you should praise them that they could pull this off. It's hard to maintain this, so it's not funny or absurd to look at this. It's just your point of view that you couldn't watch the whole point of it.
I dont place any benchmark on daily winning and most of the time, i only bet according to the timing that i set for myself as a gambler and once that time is expired, i will just have to quite and walk away regardless of the position of my bet at that time, so winning amount becomes irrelevant to me at some point, unless on few occasions where i dont control the time of the game like when i am playing poker game.
I play approximately the same way, only I have 2 limits that allow me to control myself, this is time or excess of losses, which I cannot allow to exceed, because I understand that if I exceed them, I can be sucked into the wagering, and this ends with terrible losses. I also really like poker and if I play MTT tournaments, I will play them until I get knocked out of there, because it is obvious that there is no point in limiting such games in time. The main thing is not to open them too much and only according to your bankroll.
I do also like poker , I also play Black - Jack it's fun to play quick to gain. But in poker it's all about your strategy and the mindset. Rule no 1 - never let your opponent know how good or bad is your hand. Recently I'm playing sports betting, I found out if you can maintain your strategy you can pull off literary 8/10match win. Which is still pretty good.
