Yes, I almost do that too for betting small and rare bets when gambling in casinos and even then I only do it every weekend, because normal days are too busy working so I don't spend time every day gambling, so I'm still in self-control not to become an addict and even have I did almost three years of gambling like that, because I also had a certain budget for gambling so I felt limited so I didn't become an addict.
It is a good choice that you are running, occupying most of the time to work is very good to avoid the feeling of wanting to gamble. If you have less time to gamble then I think it's true that you won't gamble as much and you'll probably minimize the amount you gamble because you're so busy with other activities out there. On the other hand we must understand that the feeling of wanting to gamble always comes when we have a lot of time and there is nothing to do, that is the time most gamblers choose to gamble, and when they feel they have a lot of time in my opinion it is very vulnerable for them to be provoked from any aspect such as emotions because they are too long there with very bad rounds. With that will help us to be a little further away from the name of addiction, to be honest I also often do that even though the desire to gamble always comes but I can still minimize it with various other activities and indirectly I will forget it at that time. Well that's right, the average of those who then enter the addiction zone is because they simply do not have any limits or do not comply with the limits they have made before, so they unconsciously enter the addiction and always chase victory.
Self-control is very important in playing gambling because when gambling without self-control and uncontrollability will make us addicts and addicted, if we can control ourselves and can control our emotions in gambling we will not lose a lot of money because only then can we become wise and responsible gambler.
Well of course, because it is only self-control that can help us in gambling, other people may not really care about what we are going through and addiction in gambling is almost invisible, it is very different from other types of addiction such as drugs that are easily identified or easily visible. But let's face it, gambling involves money and everyone needs money, so this is the main reason why many of them end up addicted. Most of them go to gambling intending to seek profit or victory with the capital they bring, but in the end they are angry about losing that money and there they will feel unacceptable to reality and then they will do it again with the aim of returning the losses in the previous time and accompanied by emotions. This cycle will continue to happen to them, and if we do not have self-control or boundaries then it is possible to fall further into it. So the point is true that only self-control can help us in gambling, there is no other better option than that.
