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.

I agree, to each is own. If you dont have the money to spare.. or the discipline to stop when you should.. you should stay as far away as possible.

In my experience too, only if you're staying away from gambling, you will be able to secure your life without getting wrecked by gambling. Working on gambling and thinking of whether it is good or bad for life is not at all meaningful. If you want to protect your life from gambling then staying away is the right answer.
