Gambling has some benefits, but there is a lot of propaganda out there that condemns it just because a few people get addicted to it, but to deny that there are some benefits is a mistake, if you play in a physical casino you'll find friendly people there and you can make new friends, sometimes you can even make business contacts by going to the casino, that is in fact a very common practice in my country where two businessman after making a deal go to the casino to celebrate, also if you like to make
sports bets you'll soon understand that you will need an advanced knowledge of mathematics and probabilities to become a winner.
Gambling has definitely a benefit and that is when you win a bet of huge money, quit gambling immediately and never come back to gambling. You will be successful. You took advantage of gambling. Now if you continue you will lose again and it is because of the greed for more and more money. Dont be greedy and be positive and serious in life.
The unfortunate part to it that you are forgetting is that there is no guarantee of winning big as it all depends on luck and in reality, the chances of losing big is far more than winning big and while 1 is winning, 99 others are losing. Greed however is what makes a lot of people to focus on what they should not be focusing too much on which is winning which is why I always say as long as you cannot come to terms of having fun gambling and know that you have higher chances of losing, then you should not be gambling at all.
There is no propaganda about gambling bad consequences. If you want to depend gambling its ok but you will have to admit that gambling is the worst thing in life and if you continue gambling you will lose everything, money, car, property, business and even your house, because I have seen this many times in my life. I am not telling a story of a film but this is fact.
