I prefer planned gambling. Being impulsive tends to catch me off guard i.e. unprepared to face the sudden wins or losses, unsure how much to bet and what my "waste cash" is at the moment.
I have played with friends a lot and walking into a casino drunk for "a quick one" always ended bad. I expect it might be similar with online gambling.
As long as you know how to handle money you will not end up losing all or being disappointed in result because you are incharge of playing gambling .I believe some saying "Charge to Experience" it means for me that every mistakes is a experience and its up to you if you will continue or change your ways .
For me i also want planned gambling which i have time to manage that particular day in gambling ,no hassle no any appointments as a free day .Impulsive gambling depends on you as i said above.
You behavior towards gambling will dictate your destiny, it's not good to be impulsive as that will only make you lose more money in a short period of time. Everyone are free to gamble but we have to understand the risk and accept it so no matter what will happen, we will only have to face the consequences. Gambling problem occurs if you have a negative behavior, therefore discipline is necessary to have fun and be safe all the time.
Most of the times you gamble, you will lose.
The point is that if you lose, don't get too depressed.
If you win, don't get too high.
Think of gambling as entertainment instead of a way to earn money consistently. If you want to earn money, then go do more work and work more hours instead of spending hours on gambling chat trying to make a buck or two.
I know that gambling sounds like the easy way, but the easy way is the way you're going to fuck up.
