As the topic clearly states it, what inspired you to gamble?
Entertainment inspired me to gamble. I gamble mainly for entertainment, I don't gamble for any other reason than that. Although I gamble for fun, I only participate in one to two bets a week at most and I do not participate in any consecutive bets. There are many people looking for ways to make money based on gambling but I am not looking for ways to make money based on gambling. Maybe I'm still keeping myself pretty organized by not looking for a way to make money, otherwise I'd be addicted to gambling. I would say that one should always use a fixed budget of income for gambling and never use outside of the specified budget of income for gambling. Thus, if one can participate in gambling, he must be able to gamble responsibly and control himself.
Even though you have fun, I think you will be even happier if you get a profit or win from the gambling you do. Everyone likes money, so I'm sure you will feel a little regretful when you lose the bet. Maybe you can stop yourself from getting depressed, but the feeling of regret is definitely there, even if it's just a little.
Yes, as long as you are still able to bear the burden of the losses you cause by gambling, that's good. This means you are still in control and not bankrupt because of gambling.
