Fun and entertainment are the only reasons to continue gambling for me. With those two reasons, I do not need to worry of being addicted as I have my own way to get fun on gambling without worrying about losing money. That's all about self-control and self-limitation, once you can manage yourself then it is always fine to keep on gambling.
Not each gambler is like you or me. I am also like you but some gambler can't continue their addiction like is because they spent a lot of time with those shit. They get into gambling. And yeah, I also do some gambling sometimes but I know how to avoid it.
