I don't have any story to tell but based on my knowledge gambling most of the brings you loss instead profits. So as long as you avoid gambling then your safe.
Gambling is not wrong as long as you still have the control on it, and your intention is to gain more fun rather than profit, what went wrong in gambling is that when you let gambling controls you because this will leads you to do miserable betting and always after come to win.
It is not wrong, people just playing just to try their luck and aim to have a profit on it even they know that it is risky,it is the people's decisions that worsening the situatiations whenever they keep on playing even they loses that affects their life especially their financial state.
