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.
gambling proved very helpful every time when i gamble, Like few month bank i transfered .3 to a gambling site, which a lost, then i decided never to gamble, yesterday again i gamble and lost .
If you lost all your money with gambling than it can wreck your life, because you are poor and have nothing to eat or something.
Of course we are not that stupid to do that, but some people are really addicted to it and that is the problem. They have to control themselves.
