With proper bankroll management and betting with basis, gambling could be both fun and profitable.
FTFY.
The most important part for a gambler is control over their addiction and their level of tilt towards gambling. If you just lean down too much whenever thought of gambling comes to your mind, you seriously need help quitting it or at least dropping that level to some extent.
Anyways, I have learned that you need to decide your units as well as keep it least against the ratio of your total bankroll in order to level up the variance - variance means when you are winning a bet but suddenly something happens that makes you lose it. So it's better to keep your unit size least in order to beat the variance twist.
That's what I mean. You don't just gamble for the sake of gambling. You place a bet because you know that the team you are betting on is probably going to win. You are not just betting because you are a fan of a particular team. You are betting because, according to your own analysis, a certain team will prevail over the other. If you don't have a basis for betting on a certain team, you better not touch your money and wait for a certain match where you have a clear prediction on which team will come out the winner.
