I'm not really addicted to gambling, so I can practically be without gambling for as long as I want. It is just another entertainment outlet for me. There are lots of other things I can do to pass my time.
It is nice to hear that people are now considering it and playing for fun and not for money. Because the moment you start to play for money you will end up in a trouble if you start losing . Once you lose you will play more to get the loss amount as well and make few profits for yourself. It can become quite addictive as well at times .
