Ya bro, i get what u mean cause im alr a decade seasoned gambled despite still in my 20s.
I would say i have already spend 25% of my winning on f&b, treating family member, self pamper myself.
In fact i intend to purchase a timepiece maybe next 2 week or so. As my mentality losing limit was all winning + 2k base and then self ban 1-3 month before going back. but spending majority of my winning, i reduce the maximum amount im willing to lose if i even in a shitty luck.
I think it all abt self control, and i tend to think more with my brain than my heart or small head (for bonking purpose

) when come to money matters. 2014 WC i really lose till gaogao, end up really 6 month nv gamble at all (card, mahjong, lottery, soccer).
For advise, people really should have the mentality to prepared to lose a certain amount when come to gamble. And should never gamble on credit/loan.
