I always play small bets sometimes win and other times loose.Overall it has no effect on my life as this is pure based on fun.I have seen many people whose life was wrecked there are hundred of examples.Gambling and fixing life are two contrary things in my opinion.
its common reason why people not addicted to gambling,they play with safe way,playing with small amount,and i'm also do same way,its why gambling never give massive effect for my life. but i'm sure outhere so many people addicted to gambling and wreck their life becuase of it.
