It is easier said than done. For someone who is smart, I would rather say they should gamble less and focus more on other productive things.
Whether we like it or not, gambling is something that is hard to concentrate on the fun which is something that is not there in the first place, most especially when it comes to online gambling, and it is better to realize you are bound to lose a lot of money and accept that fact before even starting to gamble at all. Even poker still in a way depends on luck and some little bit of skills but not entirely on skills.
Agree. Gambling is indeed hard and takes a lot of effort and patience to be able to see positive results. Such field is based on games of chance where you simply play using your own money with the hopes of becoming lucky in the short term. Most gamblers believe that they'll become rich quick by playing such games, while others are aware of the risks of doing the practice of gambling. Because of the highly risky nature of gambling, the best practice that you could do would be to stay away as possible from it.
The moment you keep betting on a game when knowing that you're short on funds, will lead you towards bankruptcy. Some people find gambling fun, but most of them don't as they lose vast amounts of money within a short time frame. Therefore, if you're not an expert in gambling, the best practice that you would do is not to gamble at all or gamble with a very small amount of money to stay safe. Just my thoughts
