follow basic rules, OP shared a nice story about his betting experience, and we should try to follow his steps.
I'm older and I have control over my actions in gambling. I know how much money I have and I know my goals, but young people
who wish to start betting more professionally should read and learn something from this topic.
Take note that people have different ways on how they will make their gambling journey be successful.
You can't just easily say to anyone, "Hey follow OP's advice to become a success" because after all, we don't have the same approach.
And besides, no matter how you give a gambler good and perfect advice, without them not dealing with the actual gambling experience, they won't understand that advice. So for me, let them learn what are those things they need to do out of their own experience in order to become successful in this industry.
