Betting and gambling go hand in hand and sometimes it's very hard to tell if a man is just a player or a gambler. Gamblers usually think that they must be lucky, that their betting systems work and that they're going to win in the end.
In fact if you set-up a budget, and if you're not going to exceed it, you're very close to be just a player, not a gambler. Gamblers are known to lose more and more as time goes by. And if gamblers sometime win, those money are used for further betting.

However, even though a gambler wins money, they're usually not used for the purposes of paying bills, but instead they're put into games again.
Money is just money and if you cannot afford another ticket, don't worry. Let it be and focus on other activities that can actually generate money.
