if you approach it with the idea of entertainment only, like the idea of going to a movie. and spend 15 bucks on it every once in a while... gambling wont ruin your life anymore than World of Warcraft will. But if you like most people and cant control yourself.. you have to be careful and the best advice is to avoid it.

Well for me, every bucks count. And if you are going to use that amount just for entertainment , well it is fine. But if your entertainment, does cost
a really high amount well you better just play gambling games to your smartphone rather than betting your money into it.
Gambling will just wreck someones life when he doesn't have already money for gambling.

That's why you only should gamble with spare money!!
I for instance do gamble for fun.Mostly betting on football matches of severeal european leagues.Never would I invest any serious amount of cash which could bring me into trouble.Just a few bucks and not to risky bets.
If you haven't any money left, then don't gamble!
Gambling is no option for a steady income. At the end of the day it will be mostly a zero sum game.
For instance for today's champions league final I've placed ~20 bucks on Atletico to win.If they lose this is money is lost but I won't regret it.I would have spend it for something else, maybe for some fastfood at McCrap or so. Cheesy
