Well for my experience with gambling i had lost around 2000dollars soo it had made a damage into my life on the short time,period were money i had saved and i could has used it to more usefull things.But well we learn with our mistakes,nowadays i do trade altcoins ,but only with what i earn from signatures,i cant no longer risk money from savings since i have a family now,on that time i were alone when i started those.
golden rule with gambling is to only bet what you can afford to lose & I can't stress that enough. Just gamble as a hobby, don't go chasing unrealistic amounts & stupid dreams because it'll only end in disaster. More often than not the bookie wins, remember that.
Those investment were with me being newbie at potencial online income,i spent most of those at forex,soo i took a shot into the darkness,and it returned to me.Nowadays i wouldnt invest such ammount,my family makes me think before i do anything,isnt only me now.But i keep gambling as i consider trade of altcoins a gamble.
it will be wreck your life,.. my friend is addicted of that she lost her house, gambling is not the answer to your problem or only if you want just having fun, you should stop it unless if you want to fall if you do not stop
