Gambling is not a good way to earn money for entertainment or get rich quick, we should gamble with the money we can afford to lose so that we do not put additional financial pressure on ourselves. Mistakes are made by humans, but it is not wise to make the same mistake over and over again, we need to manage gambling with skills and strategies so that we can manage gambling in a disciplined manner while maintaining self-control. Winning while gambling does not depend only on knowledge and strategy, it depends on luck, so we should learn from our mistakes and manage gambling by taking the right steps.
Gambling with the money you can afford to loose sometimes does not keep you safe even because you keep gambling with those chunks to a point you later understand that it has accumulated into becoming a huge sum and then you may want to start chasing loss seeing that you have lost a huge sum from the accumulation of the little chunks you had lost. Onr thing I think if gambling is rather than gambling with the amount you can afford to losoe and eventually get addicted, why not gamble on a budget and set limits with time frame to regulate your habits.
