You're right winning can trigger an addiction for gambling is a bettor gets carried away by their winnings and forget the risk involved thereby staking recklessly to earn more that's when the person is likely to become an addict, but that's not the only criteria for gambling addiction because there are people are addicts today,  I've come across one or two that says that they barely benefit from but continue because they don't want to lose out completely and would keep trying until they recover what they've lost in gambling.
 Now that is one of the major reasons why there are many addicts presently not knowing when to quit, before you go into gambling you should already we are of it's risk and winning is not guaranteed so if you lose and refuse to give up you might end up losing more or spend funds meant for other important things, people fail to acknowledge their lose and try to recover I thereby losing more, in my opinion you could quit for a while restrategies and try again later.

Your first statement is really suprising because regret in gambling activities mostly comes from  losses, when you gamble recklessly or make wrong choices of predictions you'll start feeling remorse but in your own case you still feel bad when you win, therefore my opinion is that you should work on quiting gambling or coming up with good strategies that could make you win, you could also take your time to study the game, before you make predictions you shouldn't be in a haste to rush into predicting again because you've won if not you  could end up losing everything.
 Since you said you lower your bets and stake high and it comes out victorious why not stick to that patterns and make like 2-4  predictions in a slip and stake with a high fund, if you do this successfully for some consequitive days you could earn a lot more profit than what you've lost in the past.

To my own understanding i think the implementations of the kyc system is the cause of this is a compulsory process required by most platform to provide a safe and secured space thereby requesting for some documents of their customers, before now the profiles of customers have been annoynimous making it easier for people to carry out fradulent activities and go free without any trace, their are people who violate the policies of a platform that deserved punishment like jail term but wasn't possible due to annoynimity but currently the cryptocasino through the help of blockchain technology have made it safer and easier to track down culprits and serve them justice.
 However there are still some casino that has not adopted this syestem due to the fear of losing numerous customers but i think with time they'll have to option but to adopt it due to the pressure that would be mounted on them by the government to carry out the implementation of the KYC or risk losing their businesses

In my opinion I feel, maybe the owners prefer a kind of casino business where people come together and interact in physical while they stake on different games, most times it's very entertaining than the virtual casinos, also based on the more entertaining Benefits this system offers it's very beneficial in the attraction of tourists to come have fun and most times these casinos own a night club and hotels that people could have more fun with thereby making more profi.
 However since the introduction of technology into gambling there came the introduction of online casinos where people could stake comfortably with their device at point in time, so few land casinos have also included online casinos in their company to follow the new trend and attract customers that are not opportuned to visit the casino due to some circumstances.
 

What I think is that there's no specific percentage of amount that  seems very right because it varies for different individuals depending of the amount of income they recieve as salary if a 12% of a persons income is used as a spare money and could afford to risk losing it to gambling the it's appopriate but if it's something that could cause financial unstabilty and affect other basic needs then it shouldn't be considered.
 And I belive that 5% of your income is very okay for you to consider gambling with, without feeling remorseful that why you decided to stick with it and not exceed that limit, it is always advised that people should use their spare money to gamble and it can be any amount that wouldn't affect one's budget or other important bills, for instance when i get my weekly income i make sure i settle my debts and pay other bills then any money remaining is what i use to gamble and i don't spend it recklessly on careless bets and greedy games.

There's a saying that when you fail to plan it means that you've plan to fail and same thing implies with gambling because a person that doesn't gamble with care, when I take about care I mean gambling responsibility, like applying the risk management in gambling would likely become very unsuccessful in his gambling journey and if care is not taken such people would lose a lot of money to different platforms and end up becoming addicts.
 Reckless gambling has caused the down fall of many individuals and make then become financially unstable due to unwise spendings, experts advice that gambling shouldn't be seen a means of entertainment and not as a major source of income but those that don't have a better understanding about what it meant would end up making lots of mistake, because if you're careless while trying to have fun you'll end up failing what makes it fun and entertaining is when you gamble carefully and avoid risks that would make you lose more money therefore being successful is what makes it more fun.

Greed is one of the things that's made many gamblers to win huge stakes from gambling most times some gamblers would get up to 3-5 good games online from punters online and the game has low risk and high chances of winning  but instead of them to stake higher and win a fair price they'll want to include more predictions making it up to 20 games and stake little fees to win huge money that's very careless and such makes would always make them regret but I don't see your own situation as being greedy but a miscalculated attempt because if the other 2 games left had played you would have been giving testimonies instead of feeling remorse.
 But I get your point because even though you cashed out and the game played you won't had beeb very remorseful as you are went you lost, atleast you would've still had $200 instead of losing out completely, but anyways you've learnt a lesson and I hope you don't make such mistake because one thing is making a mistake and another is learning from it, I love the fact that most online casino are now being fair in rewarding customers with cashout options so as not to lose out completely and if your games have played to a point where your cashout is 2x greater than your stake then it's fair enough to take it instead of losing our completely.

I'm still in shock to know that USA who are seen as the most preferred team to get into the finals are removed in the round of 16, too bad they couldn't qualify into the next stage and defend the trophy they had a really good performance and were very offensive most of the time  but Sweden really gave them a tough time and kept holding the backline making it uneasy to get the ball into the net, if you noticed the Swedish women weren't really going for a goal because they knew if they had open up it would had been an advantage for the defending champions to press hard with a counter and get a goal but they held the defence line for 90mins even up to an extra time, because they know they stood a good chance of qualifying with a penalty shootout, it suprisenly worked out for them and they're now in the quarter finals, well this is football and anything is possible,let's see if the England team would be able to qualify as well or get kicked out by the Super Falcons because the odds are in favour of them, my most preferred team to win the tournament are out so I'll currently stick with the Japanese team because they're very promising and chances of them winning the tournament is getting higher.

But come to think of it cancelo is a good player and have a lot to offer to the Barcelona team and it's not a bad idea to replace an outgoing player with a player that players in another roles, Barcelona have several players that could replace the role of Dembelé, i mean they have been doing that while he's been on his injury spell, Cancelo is a full back and can be deployed from both areas of the wingback and they won't sell anything to bring him into the club all they have to do is get him with the funds gotten from the sell of Dembelé, I don't know if 50mllion would be enough to get him but if it is, it would be a very good decision and beneficial to their club, they added Gündongan and his arrival have benefitted the so far in the pre-season with a good performance from him against his former team Manchester City and I think the introduction of Cancelo if they succeed in getting him would strengthen the backline and would link up with his former teammate and easily adapt I'm the starting 11 due to his experience skill and performance in that role in previous times.

 No matter what tuchel does or the kind of player he chased in this window he should make sure he gets  a player in the striker position because that's one thing the club really needs at the moment last season they're had treble performance in some games because they lacked a quality finisher and though Sadio Mane could play in that role but he's more of a winger than a top 9 player and they'll really need a top class player that's consistent and good with finishing as Lewandowski was for them before he left for Barcelona.
 Tuchel has been in search of a striker since the beginning of the season and Harry Kane has been his preferred option for that wing but they've had several bids rejected by the Tottenham chairman Daniel levy but talks are still ongoing and maybe a deal could likely be done at the late hours of the window but I feel they shouldn't focus all the effort on Harry Kane I know he's a very good finisher and has the qualities of the previous striker Lewandowski but there are other options like Vlahovic from Juventus that's good in that role as well as a cheaper option.

To me I'll say they're the most successful Italian club in the current transfer window and they've brought talent players in several areas of the squad depth, this is what every football fan of a club would ever wish and Ac Milan fans would definitely be very happy to the their club add more players to club to strengthen it for the upcoming season.
 But one thing is bringing in new players and another thing I'd them adapting to the style of play of the team or having good performance, we've seen cases where top European clubs in previous times  sign in numerous world class players in a transfer window and it didn't work out as planned but I just hope their case doesn't end up same, they had a really good performance in the champions league last season and almost got nto the finals if not for their rival inter that removed them in the semi's, Stefano is a good coach and I believe he knows the kind of players that would suit his system that's why he's working really hard in the window and getting his preferred men and hopefully he'll have a better performance and challenge for the title with the help of his new signings.

When the coach Erik Ten Hag came into the club last season he made a statement that 'Eras Come To An End' and to make that statement possible he'll try his possible best to take the club back to their glory days  which he's already achieving gradually by wining a trophy for them, qualifying for the champions league and reaching the FA Cup finals though they lost against the current championship Manchester City who's also their neighbours.
 He know that to be very successful he needs of offload several players that are finding it difficult to adapt to his system and strengthen several areas that really needs to be strengthened,and he's started by bringing in several players that's helped United last season and also introducing new players in this current window at several areas of the club.
 The introduction of Amrabat would be a very good step because Amrabat is an already proven player and has proven himself in the world cup and if he replicates such performance in United then I means that their mid position would be really strengthened, according to news he was left out in training and recent pre-season matches with Fiorentina and his arrival is imminent with the possine departure of several players like Van De Beek and Fred

It is only a citizen of a country with bad governance that would say that gambling is only beneficial to government than society, in a civilised country with good governance taxes generated from   casinos and lotteries are used in development of their society by and used for the maintenance of school, and several other sectors including health, of course gambling has it's effect on people who refused to apply the risk management of it but it's also has it benefits as well because people use it as a means of having fun, it has provide financial stability to many people, bring good connections between people in casinos, used as a  means of job opportunities like people working in casinos and traditional betting shops, we shouldn't just write off gambling state only the effect of it to the society without considering the benefits, however some government has tried in helping it's citizens from falling victims to the addictions by setting a ban on gambling activities for it's citizens and benefiting from taxes that aids the development of the country.

One thing I've come to understand about this gambling of a thing Is that, there are people who are have spend both time and energy including money they make daily profit and have made a fortune out of gambling, also there are others who have spent both time and energy and have had numerous loses than gain and still continue playing to try recover their lose or earn a fortune as well the difference between these two people is success and that has answered it all because so far you're successful in gambling it means that firstly you understand the risk management behind it and applied it with good strategies time and effort to gain profit, whereas that's one thing the unsuccessful gambler lack and they'll want to play gradually to try win which is where the addiction comes in, there's no gambler who doesn't suffer lose at a point but a good gamble knows when to pause, also know when to apply strategies that would reduce risk, I believe that so far you're successful in gambling you stand a good chance to be free from addiction.

 According to the Oxford dictionary to wager means risk (a sum of money or valued item) against someone else's on the basis of the outcome of an unpredictable event or an act of betting a sum of money on the outcome of an unpredictable even, so in my understanding, as far as your involve in any gambling activity that involves staking money you've definitely wagered.
 However some casinos platforms have come up with a wagering system whereby customers have to wager some certain amount of their money to redeem rewards and gambling bonuses offered to them, these are some tricks they play to earn more money because when you wager some money to play games and redeem those rewards the platform gains more when you lose and sometimes you might want to continue betting to recover those loses and lose more, I don't find his interesting because I feel the gambling platforms are benefiting more from this wagering system than the bettors,  why is it called a reward or bonus when one would still deposit a certain amount to be able to claim it.

 Well I like your believe that made you pick up to 20 game selections because you might be lucky to win from it and their a possibility of that happening because so far you've won 5 out of 20 making it 15 games remaining, but I don't think I could do such because I find games like that very risky and I don't like playing games with very high risk, left for me I would had picked 5 and staked high making the money to be equivalent or more than that of your 20 games, imagine had picked the 1st 5 games that's already played and staked high by now you would had been celebrating a win and not expecting a miracle to happen
 Luckily for you you're given a cashout bigger than your stake and it's left for you to either cash it out and try another strategy or allow the game to play completely to know your fate, but left me I'll say you could allowed more games to play and if they turn out good maybe  you could be given a better cash out and you can use the money to try my strategy, by picking your best 5 and stake high instead of staking low on 20 games.

Yeah I he had remain in his position or moved a little bit closer to the goal post I think he would had caught the ball or punched it away, the really made a huge mistake although he tried to cover up but the goal was in the post before he could get there, apart from that he had a good game I think what he needs to do is work on going upfront moving too further away from the post, it was a really nice volley from Sotoca and there was nothing Onana could do to stop the ball from going in.
 Anyways the manchester united squad is becoming more balanced and ready for the new season the match against lens show that the attackers look more confident than before and very hungry for goal and they now have midfielder that would deliver the ball into their various wing for a quick counter attack, with a new striker in their team their front three now looks balanced and have lots of options for replacement in case of injuries or substitutions, there are rumours that Mason Greenwood might likely return into the team, if the rumours are true and Mason comes back into the squad with the form he had before his arrest, i think they would cause alot of treats the oppositions and challenge as top tittle contenders.

@ piebeyb I think your statement implies to people that make profit from it, because whether you'r rich or poor everyone's motivate is to gain profit from it regardless of the risk and also  the rich people who gamble would see it as a side hustle for getting an extra cash moreover there's no fun in losing money and when someone suffers more loses from gambling while trying to have fun and don't stop for a while I think that's where the addiction for it comes in gradually because they'll try to recover there loss.
 What I'm trying to say Is that most people that have fun from gambling are thoe that have little loses and profits more from it, because even though you're a rich person and don't know when to quit you'll always want to recover some of the funds you've lost if don't have self control or know when to quit, I've even seen cases where people who claim they're gambling for fun exceed their daily limit due to numerous losses and still try to deposit more money is it that they enjoy losing money just to have fun or what?  I think they're trying to recover their losses and would gradually become addicted before if they don't realise on time.

Of course most drunk people seems to be surprisingly very brave, and the fact that they're not in the right state of mind makes it very possible that's why such person would the bold enough to challenge someone two times his size to a fight, atleast his own case led him to a fight, I've seen situations where peope mess up themselves by throwing up and sometimes even pour it on other people around them, a very embarrassing scene to behold, there are different situations that could cause such a thing.
 Well it think it's it not only loss of funds or reckless gambling that could make people turn to alcohol to clear their head of much thoughts, over excitement from wins can also cause it too, that's why I feel alcohol shouldn't be sold in casinos because of cases like this and the fact that majority of people suffer loses means that several other persons could fall victim of this situation, I also blame peope for being victims to this situation because some people are aware that they're light head, why then would you want to drink much when you know it's effect to your body system.

I get your point @ Peanutswar, another thing is that ignorance have made most people fail to realise their excessive gambling habits and before they realises it becomes to late and they become addicts some times people would really love to change from it but the same and guilt or sometimes pride won't want to allow them go to the rehabilitation centre to be associated with different type of people like the mentally ill and drug addicts that's why it's very good to encourage friends or family members out of gambling excessively, sometimes frustration from lack of money would want to make people to seek gambling as a better chance of getting quick money, but it is in your best interest to advice them, let them know the harmful effect of gambling addiction and the risk involved and even while you talk to them you do it calmly without being harsh or shouting at them, to help people with excessive gambling habit requires patience and tolerance, before quit an addiction is not very easy and takes a gradual process before the victim change completely, therefore constant support, constant encouragement and regular visits to a therapist would really go a long way to help gambling addicts recover from it.
