One of the biggest positives for myself and gambling are the friendships I've made from it. Formed a lot of good relationships with great people that I wouldn't have if I wasn't involved in gambling.
It really does help stimulate the economy as well by providing jobs, this is something that the gambling naysayers often forget about.
Yeah, gambling also helps the economy of such country with a legal papers to conduct it. I do agree that gambling helps us to make friends since gambling is socializing with others, teammate or against with. As well as giving jobs to some people like a card dealer, cashier, checker etc. let us see what the gambling can make not focusing on what losing can do to us.
I am not so sure about it. In my country they have been so greedy in taxing services and players that they just moved abroad. So no taxes for now.
