How much money do you gamble monthly?

For me it depends honestly. Some months I barely gamble at all, maybe $50 just to kill some time on weekends. Other months, if I’m feeling it (like when a new game drops), I’ll push $300, easy.

But I never go over what I’m ready to lose. Learned that after a couple of stupid months where I was trying to catch up to losses. That’s the game though, right? Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re an idiot chasing a jackpot that doesn’t exist.

Curious how others handle it… strict limits or you just ride the wave?
