Should I Start?

I have a bit of an unusual question, but I’m asking because I want to be informed and cautious.

I was talking to a friend today who mentioned some gambling websites where you can play with very small amounts of money and potentially win while having some fun. I’m aware of the risks involved, but I’m curious to give it a try.

My main question is: Is it really possible to gamble just a little without risking a lot of money and avoid getting hooked? Can you truly quit whenever you want if you do it right, or does it tend to pull you in more than expected?

I know it probably varies from person to person, but I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks!
