Most gamblers know it but the problem is that they start gambling with that advice in mind only to find out just some time later during their game play session that the gambling got the best out of their emotions and they could not control themselves and lose everything.This is why we have so many addiction cases in our time now,it is not that easy to stick to that statement that we will only gamble we can afford to lose.
Yes, you are right. During gambling games, many of us lose control of ourselves and cause emotional upheavals that will trigger us to spend more money because we see the opportunities we can get will be bigger. But that's not necessarily true because gambling always ends in winning and losing, which, if we realize, we will get more losses than wins. And if we really lose control of ourselves and always spend more money just because we want to win, we will gradually become addicted. And if we are already addicted, it will be more difficult to overcome.

You just learnt a lifetime lesson. Almost all game players have experience what you went through. The day I went through the same challenge, I cried all day because I used the money that was not mine for gambling and it was devastating. But you know the spirit: the more your loose the greater you stake so that you can recoup what you have lost. Like you rightly said we don't control the system hence we must ensure that we control our emotions and only stake what we can loose comfortably. I am sure that you wouldn't make the same mistake or blunder again. Best wishes.
Correct, if you gamble once in a while then at some point during your life you are going to go through a similar experience, now the difference is how do you face it? Many people learn from this and even if they are sad about their losses they learn to be way more careful with their money not only when they gamble but in every other activity in which you need to manage your money, however there is a minority that is unable to accept their losses and they keep making huge bets trying to recover the money they have lost, learning nothing in the process.where people do play more due to chasing of losses and instead of stopping they do even spend even more which is on more than on the amount that they could afford to lose.
If you do value that much your hard earned money then you shouldnt touched up gambling in the first place because high tendency you would really be putting yourself
into trouble if you arent really that mindful in regarding with your actions.

Nobody can follow this by heart, there will be a time when people are tempted to put in more money, gambling is associated with our emotions and sometimes our emotion betrays us, this can happen most of the time to a gambler who loses control but for a response, they do this only from time to time, besides we are only human and not perfect in controlling our emotions.
brought so much profit to the revenue - so there is question what should one do. When a person gambol - he is in double debt when he loses his wealth
Well, it is still pure luck because I do have a friend who bet on lotto with his number. He mistakenly wrote the wrong number, but it turned out he won. I also have a friend that bet a large amount of money on a cockfight but he lost it all. It is better to gamble without any influence of drugs or alcohol because you know after that you will regret it. Yeah, I know it is fun and thrilling when betting while drunk, but if you lose, that will hit you hard when you wake up. So it is better to play and enjoy gambling and after that you can celebrate it.

Still good for those who only deal with this kind of mistake occasionally, but for those who mismanage their emotions and engaged too much with this vice, they became addicted and most of the time suffer from emptying their savings. It's too difficult if you don't know how to control things when enjoyment and aggressiveness already combine.
Something that you need to work if you don't want to see yourself losing everything to the extent of not just financially but
also with your relationship with your love ones.
If gambling brings goood luck it brings hard hard luck as well. One should keep one emotion in control while betting for gambling.

Not only a lesson for him but also a lesson for us so that we always remember that we can experience defeat in playing gambling at any time so that we can stop gambling at the right time. I think I have experienced almost the same as what happened to him although maybe the amount of money will not be the same as him. But it is a valuable experience to always remember and avoid so that it doesn't happen again in the future. Controlling emotions and only betting with the money we can afford is advice that is always recommended for people who want to gamble. Hopefully, we can always remember it so that we don't experience another loss.Most gamblers know it but the problem is that they start gambling with that advice in mind only to find out just some time later during their game play session that the gambling got the best out of their emotions and they could not control themselves and lose everything.This is why we have so many addiction cases in our time now,it is not that easy to stick to that statement that we will only gamble we can afford to lose.

They will learn quick if they won't manage their funds properly when it comes to gambling.
It is easy to lose in gambling rather than gain money. And if you are playing luck-based games, don't expect you have something to bring home.
Gamblers should know possible repercussions even before starting to play games.
I can understand if it is sportsbetting and you are very familiar with the sports, you have better chances of winning.
But with luck-based games, better treat it as a way to unwind from your stressful life and don't expect any winnings afterwards.

Exactly, sports games are a more accurate bet, as you are not handing your bet only to the hands of luck.
You use real-world statistics and probabilities to your advantage.
Of course the profits tend to be better, but if you put in a lot of effort and play wisely, you can make a good profit.

What I experienced whenever I am chasing my losses is that, my heartbeat is like palpitating so fast I can't think clearly because I am hoping that I will win the game. But if I am just relax and not worrying if I will lose or not, I feel I can enjoy the game. The scenario presented by the OP is not new, as most have experienced it one way or another. But you know what, some will not learn their lessons because they will do it again and again up until they are totally broke and their life is already ruined. This is why you will really see some gamblers being wasted with their gambling habits if they don't know when to stop.

That's why you have to learn how to manage your own money. Just make a portion out of the total money you have like 50% save and the rest 50% will be divided among the choices you want like gambling, purchasing something or whatever you want with it. So when you started your bet at $3 then you still have money left even though you started to bet until $98 but still it's just a portion of your total money you have and you are just not lucky at the moment.
And if ever he does that, he still has 50% if he manages to follow the strategy.
But it's gambling regrets follows after you already made a mistake, the sad thing there is instead of paying the debt now he need
to find additional ways to pay for it. Hard way to learn how to control and how to value your money, not really new to this business.
there are many people who suffer in the same manner.

This is how I manage my money during payday. I set aside the money for the monthly expenses and savings then I also allocate small amount for leisure.For a gambler who have discipline and aware of his limit, this kind of money management will work. However its different for addicted gamblers because they tend to continue playing as long as they still have money to feed their addiction.
Op learned his lesson the hard way and I think its an eye opener for gamblers who experienced the same thing to not repeat the same mistakes again. There's no guarantee that you'll be lucky if you gamble so dont use the money that is meant for important things.
Gambling kills slow. Like a slow poison. You lose money and then you become depressed. And then your health deteriorates and you die.
Be very very careful when you gamble with your only money left.
