Gambling carries entertainment, enhances social interaction and possible monetary profits too. Yet, on the downside, this can bring addiction, money loss and distress. Walking such a fine line requires that you create boundaries and practice responsible gambling.
 
Never bet what you can't afford to lose.

True. Also, don't play in a hope of making money, play for fun; and know when to stop, even when you are on winning streak.

I always hope to win(with poker), but if you can't handle losing you should play lower stakes. You can't win them all.
 
We all want to win and make some cash but we also need to understand it s not possible to win always. Lower stakes can help you minimize losses.
 
It can be a double edge sword to those who are susceptible to addiction. However if you play in moderation and know when to walk away, then it's a fun way to earn some extra cash.
