In gambling, you can bypass this idea that losses must necessarily lead to big losses. If there is a need for gambling, then you can clearly define the budget that you can use for gambling, let it be $50 per month, and spending more than this amount per month is prohibited. And even better, try to set yourself a goal to double this deposit, so that you focus on winning, not just on spending this money, then perhaps you will not have to spend $50 every month.
I think you may be thinking from another perspective but it still falls back at the fact that gambling done recklessly will still lead to that same losses, but when planned and strategically applied, then accountability comes in and you can be able to account for it at almost every point as you go along with your activities gambling so mainly it's just you taking charge and responsibility of the gambling habit you have chosen to engage in Already and not trying to probably be reckless about and expecting more.
When it comes to not gambling recklessly, or avoiding reckless gambling, there are rules set for gamblers, and this rules must be adhered to, choosing to do things differently is one of the reasons why we have so many gambling addicts in our societies today.
It's like living in a country where there are already established rules that people living in that country must adhere and live by, but one comes into that country and decides to invent his or her own rule to live by, different from the rule that has been established generally for all the citizens, that person if he or she is not extremely careful will find him or herself in prison in no time.
Adhering to all the rules of responsible gambling is the best way to gambling peacefully without worrying about getting ourself into Financial issues or becoming addicted.
