Gambling seems far from helpful to me. Because when i gamble more appear to be a greedy who then just throw away money i've earned from working hard. Maybe only occasionally gambling help me in an emergency, the rest even destroyed by greedy self-error.
Maybe gambling helps some people in their personalities such as discipline, patience and self-control. But I'm sure only a few of them are financially helpful.Most of them suffer from gambling, far from being helped, those who are like that will be more helpful if they do not gamble at all.
