In fact, it is not as easy as you explained simply. Naturally, human beings have certain characteristics that you can never ignore. First of all, gamblers who don't mind taking risks can never accept defeat. When he loses 50 bucks he will never be able to control himself because he does not care to take risks, he will be eager to make more deposits to recover the lost 50 bucks. No advice can prevent him to stop at that time, because he has the ability to take high risks.
Again, when you win an extra 50 bucks, you can't stop gambling, as @tygeade said you don't know the limit, you can't fix your greed. after winning 100 bucks or 200 or 500 bucks you may stop for a few hours even several days but you have to come back again to feed your greed until you spent all of the winnings.
The only thing that is able to stop becoming a problem gambler is self-realization and admitting that something is happening wrong.
That is not "naturally", I am a human, and I do it hence it means humans can do it. It is just "some" humans can't do it, it could be majority of people, it could be a minority, I do not know the number of people that does it but the fact is that we have a chance to actually do it and I am the proof of that. When you have extra amount of money then you should be gambling however you want, the difference between putting in 50 bucks and losing that and putting some more money and losing that as well, is not the same as putting 50 bucks and winning a lot of money and then losing that.
You can afford to lose your earnings because that's fine, but you can't afford to lose your own money, and you should not because it becomes addiction and that is the biggest risk. I personally try to do my best and I have achieved this, if I can then I do not see any reason why others couldn't.
THX.
