Seeing how the odds are pretty often against you in gambling as the gambling services are for making money out of you and not the reverse, do you still decide to gamble? If so, why?
Yes, because for me gambling is a distraction and something I do for fun and although what you say is true I don't give much importance because I understand that everyone has to make a profit from it. I could compare it with going on vacation to the beach, where prices skyrocket and where everyone wins at our expense, hotels, restaurants, the people in charge of activities etc... but with all that we continue to pay and appreciate vacations because it generates us a positive experience, good memory's and fun (just like gambling).
Many people in the start think they will play gambling for fun only and will not be involve in it too much. In most cases, they become addicted to gambling and they never realize this. Also people lose a lot of time and money in gambling and they never realize it. They realize it when it is too late or a lot of their money has already been lost in gambling.
