This post is not intended to criticize gamblers, i am just curious what drives a gambler to really gamble even when the odds are against him or even reach the point where he'd rather lose everything he has than to stop doing his gambling addiction. I said the following because i have seen friends and some relatives on my mother's side literally lose everything they have like family, wealth etc. and only a few managed to stand up again. And some of that few still gamble to this day. And an uncle was found dead from a gunshot wound, whoever did it was unknown. But rumors say that it is one of all the guys he owed large money and never payed. While a friend(not close, just a neighbor) died from suicide because his wife left him along with his 14y.o daughter and 3y.o son. Now, I ask this because i dont get it. I just don't. I mean is it even worth it? If you ask me, i don't know. That is why i am asking. And the reason why i did it here is because we all know i can't ask a gambler with this kind of questions face to face because doing that would mean mean that I wanna start a fight. I mean that might how a gambler reacts to this kind of question. Please share your thoughts on this.

Simple. I want to have fun and in making fun of course I am being productive, I am earning while having fun. Gambling isn't bad because we all know that it is legal in some countries and it only became bad depends on the people who are using it and gambling is one of the major way of people to earn extra income.

I should say you can surely have fun while playing gambling and depending on what a person do if it is bad or not, and yes depending on a country if it's gonna be ban or not but I don't consider it as an extra income it is very risky to get your everyday income towards it and I consider gambling as a bonus money only because depending if you had won in every bet that is the only time you can surely get money, you should think about it as a game only and not as a source of your income so you can never have a bad feeling in losing with it.
