I prefer having a bankroll for my gambling activities, so that I don't spend more than a specific amount for my gambling activities. Sometimes when I am less busy, I gamble more than when I am busy. I can use my bankroll of a week in just two days and I will quit gambling for that week.
Sometimes, I don't gamble at all because I have being busy with work, and my bankroll will be like that till when I gamble again. However, a gambler can abduct any style that suits his gambling life but the most important thing is that we don't get addicted and run at big loss.
You have great control, and I'm impressed by that. As for me, even though I'm busy, I always find a way to gamble. Since I bet on sports, it doesn't consume a lot of time, but sometimes if I feel emotional, it can really affect my job. Even just watching the box score can bother me because, with the size of the bet, I often feel mixed emotions. The amount of money we risk can really affect our emotions. When I bet $5 to $10, I can easily let go if I lose and not mind it much. However, if it's a bigger amount, I'll try everything to recover those losses, even though I always follow my limit.
There are several things that you can immediately correct in your approach to gambling, friend, the first of which may be in terms of time, wherever you gamble and in any type of gambling, including sports, if basically you are busy with other things or activities in your life, such as work, so it's better to focus on activities that are much more important, meaning that time management and the ability to divide your time according to portions is really needed if you don't want your activities to be disturbed.
The second is that yes, it is clear that you are already aware that the amount of your bet is relatively large each time you run a session, you can immediately change it, and I think it will not be too difficult to make this change if you are really aware of the error. As you said, by only risking a small amount you will be able to easily let go of all the losses you experience, meaning that is indeed the best. Gambling is a chance activity, don't overdo it because there is no certainty that you will always win.
