Dude, I like to gamble, but only with my friends and usually without money.
I never play on a real money, so honestly I don't know how I will react if lose some money...
But I can share you my story... The first time when I start to play texas holdem poker was on facebook. Then after a couple of months I start to play with my friends. We use only chips so can be more relaxed. And you will guess what happen next!
I want to try to play on real money with unknown people, but... After I analyse my self, I realize that I will be x3 nervous if I ever start to play poker on real money and I bet that I will loose everything.
So the cure for gamble is: Never gamble on real money!
