"I learned the fine line of gambling during a college poker night, an experience that has defined my approach to the pastime to date. After chasing losses wiped my entire bankroll, one of my buddies helped me reframe the activity as “buying a movie ticket.” You pay for the thrill of watching the film, and if they happen to be handing out tokens while leaving the theater, that’s great, but it is not the point.
His analogy stuck: just as you wouldn’t risk your mortgage for a film, risking financial security for wins is folly. This mindset—prioritizing entertainment over profit—guides how I approach gameplay today, keeping me vigilant against the traps of gambling addiction."
