The point I want to share is we should manage our expectations when playing games where we don’t have an edge. That way if we lose, it’s easier to move on. And if we happen to get lucky, like I did, the feeling of victory is even sweeter.

I agree with this, because it means that as players we consider gambling as an activity that is not meant to generate money, so losses can be accepted well and when winning, we can manage that money well either for enjoyment or other purposes.
However, gamblers find it difficult to manage their expectations because they always want to win and the money they use must increase, so the opposite result will be very disturbing and they try to recover what is lost.

You`re talking about addicts. The main part of gamblers just play for fun and don`t try to return lost money as soon as possible. I play slots after hard day with minimal bet and even never withdraw money - i even don`t know how much i lost, i deposit time to time few bucks there, that`s all. Few my friends lost big enough sums on big matches(PSG - Chelsea was last i remember). Of course they were disappointed, but no one made new bets to win something.
Of course all of us in the game for winning, but it doesn`t mean that we will spend all our money trying to become rich.
