When I first bet, I won $50 and was very happy, but later, when I kept betting in the hope of winning more, I lost. Then, a friend of mine bet double than me and won.
Most people say that they gamble for fun, but at some point, it turns out that even though they played for fun at first, they became addicted to gambling and later they are the ones trying to get out of this addiction. Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.
You should understand that gambling is all about luck. Simply put, the probability of winning or losing is a matter of chance. Therefore, we cannot view gambling as a means of generating money, because we could end up degenerating our own. Basically, gambling is intended as a form of entertainment, and we should view it as such, without any further embellishments. Furthermore, consider any winnings as "additional entertainment," and if you lose, consider it as the time you paid for the entertainment. By this way, you can remain relaxed whether good, or bad luck strikes, and you can still gamble comfortably in the next sessions.
Some people might argue, that there is skill on certain types of gambling, but personally, I consider them equal, meaning I still consider the chances of winning and losing to be equal. If there is such a thing as "skill" in gambling, then shouldn't there be more people who have good luck at it? especially in the long term.
Essentially, it is okay to gamble, but do it wisely, which means limiting your time and money. These two things are the main pillars of being a responsible gambler.
