Have you counted or estimate all your losses and thought what all your losses could you buy, do you sometimes stop and think on all of this.
I'm not a big gambler but I estimate I could already buy a good class mountain bike with all my losses, how about you?
After a big loss that gave me a set back an year ago, since then I started counting my losses , my wins and even control my budget. I always set a budget before joining session and also have weekly budget dedicated to gambling. I also make sure not to exceed the budget , sometimes I do to get leverage but that is controlled too.
This is what I think ideally people should be doing it as many people are budget constraint and this is a good thing to note all the wins and losses and this also gives an estimate to people that how much losses if any incurred in gambling itself. Also have a budget for gambling as it can lured anyone, and people can go after it long way and also losing lot of money if people are not in control.
