You are lucky if you belong to the few but the reality is we always lose in gambling and even if the happens we still comaback and play, I guess the joy the gambling brought is really amazing. For me, enjoying and limiting your bets in gambling is the safest way to do as you don't want to be addicted seeking for easy money.
But not mostly everyone enjoys playing it, there is this frightening sensation towards it that every players of gambling feels when they are in the edge of losing a bet, and I think most of the gamblers feels this kind of sensation every time they play gambling.
