Well, for me it is tough decision because If I lose then its done but if I win then great. If I was in that situation I will save that money for my transportation because how are supposedly come home if you don't have money? Hitchiking? If they allow you besides, this day is now dangerous compared before. Therefore, I will not fully spend my money in playing gambling and I will still leave some for transpo and for food.
This is wrong way of thinking.
If you have to think about saving money for food and for gas/bus it means that you don't have money and you shouldn't gamble at all.
Gambling is for people who can afford to lose money.
I suggest that you stay away from land based casinos and just play online casinos so you don't worry for your fuel or transportation and in that you can still go all in without worrying.
What's the difference? Losing money online is equal to losing money in brick and mortar casino
We should not conclude that gambling could easily loss money, the chance to loss money is big so it's important to spend an amount
that you can afford to lose, that would also not mean that it's a small amount, anything you can afford which you yourself can only determine the value.
Gambling is good for people who are making a living on it but we should know our capacity.
We should know our capacity, we should know how to manage bankroll for gambling. You are more then right when you say if someone thinks about saving money for food shouldn't gamble at all, if you aren't ready to go all in in certain situations and to risk to lose all the money you planed to gamble don't gamble at all, its not for you.
I have been on zero countless times. I don't mean broke, I mean I lost all the money I had for gambling. Then I wait some new money for gambling, or I save some money on a side just for gambling and when I save enough I gamble again. I never regret for losing money on gambling, I won so many times and I enjoy in gambling. Money I have for gambling is money I can afford to lose, and I'm not afraid to lose to them all, I risked many times and I had luck to win a lot with my last high bets several times. Sometimes you need to push it till the end, only way to win in casino.
