It depends on what will happen to you. And that is the problem, because you will never know what will happen with your money.
Its impossible to predict if you are going to win or lose and that is really bad. But if you win, of course you will have a good life.
gambling does not wreck my life. When I was younger I lost a lot gambling, I've also won large amounts too. These days though I just gamble for fun with amounts that I don't mind losing.
