A gambler's mindset is everything when it comes to being successful or a total failure. With the right mindset, it's possible to gamble with the right strategy and make some big wins while with the wrong mindset, a gambler have already lost before he started.

What's your gambling mindset like?
 
I do not think there is one single rule for mindset, it depends on person to person. When I gamble, I remind myself that it is for entertainment and fun. I also prepare myself to lose money.
 
Your mindset is everything. If you got into it with desperation, you have lost already. I treat it like entertainment with limit, not for survival. If you start seeing gambling as your escape from bills, you have missed it already.
 
One mindset that you need to have to be successful in gambling is to have the mindset that sees gambling as entertainment. Every amount you spend to stake games should be seen as the cost of movie ticket in your mind. Doing that, you would know to gamble with only disposable income.
