You probably would have done better had you invested or even traded your coins instead of gambling. I hope that you learned your lesson though as it can't be helped, what happened can't be undone.
The reason people gamble is to make big amount of money in a short period of time and the thrill of waging your money and you wont get that kind of thrill in any form of trading. 
If you think that gambling is not meant for you,why the hell bother to do as if it is a compulsory sport for everyone to participate.It is all about luck that you win some.
