I do not like to gamble with those kind of "emergency" funds if that is what you were talking about. I enjoy gambling, i do it as a way to cut my stress of, and it is much more better if you are doing it with friends. But no, if i lose it all, i would never continue
I like the way you think and hopefully people do follow this strategy that is only you go for passing the time or playing just for relaxing, stress buster etc and do not get too much involve that can lead to being addictive which can take away all your money if you start losing in the gambling.
