gambling is a job and not for fun. and strongly agree that gambling is not for everyone. but gambling is only for those of us who have more funds and are ready in the face of defeat. where when we find defeat we do not need a headache and not too concerned with money lost in gambling

I don't see anything bad with spending real money to have fun in gambling. Just make sure that money spent is really just your extra and not needed to pay for expenses.
Do you gamble because it is fun to gamble or because there is chance to win money and you see that as a fun? Question is pretty simple, this isn't discussion about is gambling bad or how to be responsible gambler.
