Gambling will never help you in your life and instead it will spoil your life as I have never seen people who have become rich or successful with gambling and it can only ruin your life in long term so if you are addicted to gambling then you need to find a way out before its too late.
It's true gambling is not a way to make a profit. Gambling is just a game to find happiness and pleasure. Playing gambling with the purpose of fun will make you comfortable. While when gambling is used to make a profit it will make our lives shattered irregularly.
I agree aside from happiness and pleasure, it is the best way to relax and unwind. Removing the strain and stress of our daily job. If enable us to start our work refreshed and more productive.
Though gambling for happiness and pleasure is quite worrying if kept unchecked because there is a huge possibility to trigger gambling addiction.
