Indeed. Luck is unpredictable and sometimes showers favors. I find it amusing that casual gamers often win for fun. Isn't unpredictability gambling's appeal? Every round is a gamble, but optimism remains. Your idea about not seeking luck resonates. A slippery slope, right? The harder we try, the more elusive it becomes. Recognizing when to step back requires awareness of our actions and their effects.
You're right about self-control and awareness. Balancing act, right? Playing with excitement but being grounded. The loss-recoupment spiral is harmful. It causes perspective loss. Self-control stops us from falling deeper into potential losses. The key is mindfulness; awareness of our motives and behaviors. Doesn't it teach life lessons as well as gambling? Learning to stop, regardless of the pursuit, is valuable.
Yes, instead of trying harder and losing more, it's better if we just use our free time to have fun playing gambling games. It would be better if we don't think about winning or losing because we just spend time gambling. If we win, it's a bonus. But if we lose, we must be able to accept it and not try to recover from the loss. We cannot predict when we will win or lose but loss will definitely come to us. So prepare yourself for that defeat and prevent a bigger loss.
Self-control will prevent us from losing more and as long as we can do this, we don't need to worry about these defeats. We can also avoid losing more money because we always try to stay within the limits of what we can afford. Only we can prevent it, while other people can only give us advice. Therefore, we must be able to stop ourselves from playing excessive gambling.
It is true that only a few people are lucky enough to win at gambling and only a few people are able to control themselves when they win, because we have often seen that when someone has won at gambling they will go back to gambling with the aim of increasing their money again. However, what happened was that he lost the money he had because of his greed because he forced him to gamble again.
Of course, good self-control will help someone to minimize losing a lot of money and self-control will also make someone aware to be careful in every gambling activity so that in the future he can enjoy gambling without overdoing it and he is able to accept defeat if it occurs.
We must always remember that greed can grow without us realizing it, so we must always be careful when gambling. No one will know when we lose so we should keep ourselves limited so that we don't lose all the money we deposited. That will be better for us because we can prevent problems from arising.
This self-control must continue to be trained so that we can avoid the temptation of gambling. Moreover, we don't know what kind of temptations can make us enter and fall deeper into gambling. You are right to always be careful in every gambling activity because that can prevent us from experiencing a lot of losses. Many people have experienced this, so we have to be able to protect ourselves when gambling.
