i started small, gambling 100-200 dollars at max.
Once i had a job making 4000-5000 dollars a month, the amount i was betting also got bigger.
We all try to chase the loss and that’s when you get a real problem. gambling your paycheck after paycheck thinking eventually you will get lucky enough to get on a roll and get all your losses back.
sounds like you are just beginning to gamble and I really hope you can stop because i know how gambling can f**k your life up especially when you are chasing your loss.
i used to think i was different than other problem gamblers when i first started gambling. what you are thinking was exactly what i was thinking. stop if you can, i think it is the best advice i can give you
