I agree, whenever you gamble at a place that provides that much fun, it is important to remember that the earning part is only secondary to fun part. I personally have a lot of fun when gambling at Stake, that is the number one thing that I do and I believe that it will keep going for a long time as well, I do not think that it will change anytime soon.
I know that it is going to take a while for me to personally get better financially after the gambling is over because I will most probably lose money, but I do not bet too much so I should be fine and I have that much fun anyway. So when you are gambling, always aim at that level, always make sure that you end up gambling the way you always wanted to gamble and that's fine.
I'm not a hypocrite I also want to win when I gamble, it's just that it's not my main target, or exactly as you said, winning is a secondary need that if I don't get it it's not a big problem for me.
You have done the right thing and realize that your finances will be better if you don't play gambling, but if we can manage our finances as well as possible then it won't cause problems for our finances. Unless we are gambling addicts who cannot manage finances and cannot control emotions that will make us lose everything.
Every gambler, be it amateur or pro, will always want to win when carrying out gambling sessions and that is something commonplace. we all, want the same thing. like you guys said, winning is a secondary need. therefore, we get a sensation of happiness from the gambling sessions that we do.
Basically, if we want to make gambling just part of the fun. The thing to remember is, gamble with what you can afford to lose. and play properly, within the limits we can afford, without always having to chase victory. that way, we won't be too obsessed with making money from gambling, especially for types of casino gambling that tend to rely more on luck.
Speaking of managing finances, this applies not only to gambling. most importantly, we must have good management. separate them first, which are for pleasure and which are for needs. that way, we won't have any problems with our finances. plus, we can gamble calmly, without being burdened with things that spoil the mood when conducting gambling sessions.
