Same story as eating,what do you eat?how much?
If you say a lot, why a lot? If you say very less ,why?
Everything if its well counted can work good,if you push yourself over your monetary limit that's a problem, if you play once in a while it's not a problem,if it was food that you ate very little,then it was an issue to solve,but gambling its for relaxing your nerves.

Exactly.

And there's nothing wrong with saying a lot if it works for you.

Being an adult means making your own decisions for yourself. You don't ask the internet to tell you if something is right or wrong. You try things, you overcome your fears, you make your mistakes, hopefully you learn something and get better at living your life, and then you teach that to your kids.

No one alive knows the right answer, and if they tell you they know everything, they're lying. You already know what's right or wrong for you - it is in your heart. But you have no idea how other people feel so it's stupid to ask what's right or wrong for them. Stop concerning yourself with other people's problems. And don't listen to a book or a "holy man". Listen to your conscience, and learn from what you experience for yourself. TRY EVERYTHING and condemn no one. Right now, you are condemning things you have never tried.

There's a phrase in English: "He keeps his own counsel". Meaning he is his own keeper. He controls his own emotions and makes his own decisions. He listens to others, but in the end he's deciding for himself. Based on his conscience and his own reasons.

This is a concept that doesn't exist much in Eastern culture, and especially doesn't exist in Islam. It's also the reason those countries are not a good place to live, and half the population is trying to invade western europe at the moment. If people in those countries kept their own counsel, then those countries could be a paradise, not a wasteland.

So instead of worrying about what is right or wrong, try to worry about what is right or wrong for you. You will appreciate the world much more when you realize that everyone has a different perspective.

The only true wrong in the world is harming someone else. Whatever you do to yourself is simply educational.

Totally, totally TRUE. It's nice to here words of wisdom here.

And from more technical aspects of gambling. I was against it for a very long time. But I've read about problem and I changed my mind a little. Addictions are bad in every form. But for example if you've got some money and you've got a limit (ex.: "Today I will spend max. 100$, because I saved them and I want to use them for my pleasure), gambling becomes a form of fun. Because it provides emotions. And if you are feel them, then you feel the taste of life.

So reasonable gambling with limit of money to spend in particular time is GOOD in my opinion.
