Gambling helped me with my life nohow. For me gambling is just fun and the way for spending time. Of course when I grown enough I started to gamble with money, but till now I didn't make any big bets, so there is no loosing and winning big money for me, cause of even today gambling is just kind of fun to me.
Using gambling for fun must be one of the biggest help one could get in his lifetime. Because, in this fast world no one will care you to make you entertained. But, you got a companion in the name of gambling, cheers!
The same companion may turn as enemy at any time, if you change your mind and while gambling if you expect profits from it.
