That's one reason why I stopped gambling. Everything runs curiosity and desire to win is so high without having good financial management, and to this day I still can refrain from returning to play gambling.
If I may suggest, you better stop sooner than you will lose more money.
That's a good thinking and realization. Avoid gambling is a true man's decision if you really think that you will just lose money when you gamble. I would just recommend people to avoid gambling at all cost if you are gambling money you can't afford to lose. Just gamble small, only money you think will entertain you. If you lose that small amount, control yourself! Do not invest anymore. Just forget about the money you lost in gambling.
