I think playing for the joy is the best thing to do.
But most people when faced with a big opportunity that can be obtained from the predictions they make their goals will be different and the fun will be forgotten and no matter what they will definitely pursue winning with that big opportunity.
It true that playing for fun is a good thing to do and should be prioritized, but it all depends on each individual whether they can stay on the same path with the aim of having fun or whether they change their minds because they have the opportunity win and can change their lives.
Regret you can always control with your mind, instead of ending up in financial ruin to not regret
Yes regret may only be felt for a while and can still be controlled but if you add financial ruin it may take someone longer to control regret and forget what has happened.
But at least things like destruction and regret can enable someone to learn better for the future.
After all, gamblers always feel regret when they lose but on the other hand they will also regret it when they win only small wins and they think that if they bet a larger amount they might be able to produce bigger profits and this is the attitude of most gamblers and I am sure this is experienced by all gamblers.
