Its a form of habit to gamble.
There will be times where you will gamble for fun due to the circle of friends - but that shouldnt urge you to go back into this lifestyle and create the habit again.
Unless you are super desperate to making money..
Actually there are two types of gambler, one who gamble secretly and the others who gamble with friends on various events. I feel that gambling secretly is much dangerous than gambling with friends on real events.
When you are gambling alone that would make you prone to addiction because for sure you will not only gamble just to be entertain, you want to beat the system of the house and there is no way you can do that and that action is like fooling yourself.
that's true if you are doing it alone you won't able to win with satisfaction you always wanted to win more and more without knowing that you already losing everything so better yet learn to stop and always think that it is just all for fun and not for money.
