I've struggled with this for some time. Some call it compulsive gambling. Lol

If i dont drink, i do great. I get a few brews in me, i go wild.

I've tried the $25-$100 games and it does t do it for me. Lol.

What has you gambling career looked like? Mine peaked in 2007, been on a steady decline since then. Lol

Maybe to make the question easier and precise, would be to ask.... How long/how many years after you started gambling did it take to develop money management...

I probably still don't fully understand proper money management.

Been peaking for 10+ years as far as gambling career

Mine was horrific from age 18-25. Made no improvement at all over that 7 year span.

Then had a breakthrough last year and finally started]to really understand it. It's always a work in progress though.

I have better money management in baseball then any other sport for some reason.

I was taught money management very early by my parents.. Probably by far, the best tool I have had over the years..

without discipline/control you are NOTHING as far as being a professional gambler (example : stu unger)
as far as bring a casual gambler, one needs some money management, discipline (both time +
money), and/or control or otherwise one's gambling will sabotage some very important things
and relationships.
