Many of us not only gamble, but also like to spend time with friends in a bar with your favorite alcoholic beverage. It often happens that after a fun party you wake up in a state of acute intoxication (weakness, nausea, bad mood, etc.). Yesterday you had great fun and spent money like never before, and in the morning you feel worse than ever.
Approximately the same thing happens after losing, but this does not mean that during the gambling session you did not get positive emotions.
Everything has to be paid for and gambling is no exception.
Although I know that losing in gambling take away the fun from the gambling but this is one exception when you go in the casino with friends in order to enjoy and even if you lose you know that the end of the day you got the entertainment and it was only because of your friends with you.

However if you are still afraid of losing then you should make up your mind that you and your friends are going in a gambling and will spend some amount of money as a fee for that entertainment. Think that you and your friends are going to watch a movie with the friends and you are not refunding the movie amount, same you can think of the gambling games you played and you lost and you are not refunded. This is only to satisfy your mind so that you remain happy even after losing and when coming out of the casino.
Yes, so everything can be fine if you can correct your mindset or change your thinking by assuming that the amount lost due to gambling losses is the amount of costs that must be spent to enjoy entertainment with friends, such as the example you gave, namely by equating the money lost with money for watching a movie where there will definitely be no return expected.
But actually and should be in any situation whether you gamble alone or with friends with any purpose you should not need to make any exceptions just because you lose, awareness should be in your mind from the start before you go to the casino by realizing that defeat is something natural and that must be accepted without expecting a return, meaning that responsibility must be fixed again, and if from the start you are afraid of losing money then it is clearly better to divert your goals and your friends to do something else.
