For me it is quite the opposite because I start to play for profit and Im greedy with that right now Im the opposite because I only play for fun. I was planning to stop as well but I didnt stop and come back, right now I control what I play that is why I only play for fun with a small amount so that I dont spend alot
As long as we can enjoy the game and the emotions do not overwhelm our mind, I think it can already be categorized as gambling in the smart way. But don't forget that the difference between gambling smartly and unsmartly will be very thin. Situations and conditions can change everything. Even small thing can ruin our smart way.
