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.
to me i think gambling is only made for making money and not for pleasure or entertainment. we can get entertainment and pleasure from gambling if we are making money, i think there are so many other source of getting entertainment and pleasure, i think there are so many other cheep sources of getting entertainment. for example visiting a dancing club, etc.
