Not actually. It won't eat your money if you are winning over lossing. It will eat your brain if you're not smart enough to know when to stop. I think the OP was negative because he's unfortunate to gambling. I hope his perspective can be altered.
I'm also thinking of that. How come you are able to keep off gambling eating your brain and money?
It's a matter of strategy. Just like playing a poker
game, don't risk too much if you are not confident that your card would win. Always be positive and let the game be controlled no one but only you.
