Its interesting that you can list out all good sides of gambling for all those who criticize it to know. The only challenge I see with gambling is with those who do it excessively. The game is meant to be entertaining, make money, make new friend, and just have fun. Gambling game started even before money was invented.

Our fathers/forefathers played it in the traditional way and there was no record then of them playing excessively, it was all for fun and loses has always been a part of the game but back then people dont gamble with their savings, or sell properties or even borrow. They only play with what they can afford and no stress when they loose but I think greed has taken over the gambling industry and many who now see it as a source of income.

Betting was in practice for centuries but the intention is also something similar to make benefits just like making money in modern day casino but all this in the hnads of people who are gambling if they don't like to do means they can restrict them or it is their own destiny of choosing gambling.

For sure it is the persons own choice either if he gamble or not, those who are lovers of gambling actually working for better promotion of gambling, betting in different games makes people earn good money which is keeping them stickled with their gambling strategies, so in my family some of my cousins including me use to gamble and we use to earn profit.

Actually there have been a lot of accounts of gambling being the reason for people's financial demise even back in the days. People losing businesses, properties, even slaves due to gambling losses. Greed has always been a part of human nature and gambling is one of the top causes of people succumbing to greed. That's why it always had the negative image portrayed to many people.

That cannot be denied many people been drowned to financial struggles, due to gambling addiction. All those reasons linked to financial trouble caused by gambling wasn't able to intercepted by a person who performed the game. Most of them let gambling controlled them, without any idea that in the future it will be their worst nightmare.
I think nobody will promote gambling, when their experiences was bad but maybe for those first timers who unexpectedly won for random winnings will try to gather companionship from new gamblers. But, It's not guaranteed to be constant in the long run due to big risk involved which is money.
