Maybe it's asked before, still, it will help us a lot.
Why do you gamble?
Why do you do not invest that money instead?
Why you do not donate them?
Because you are bored?
Because you are looking for entertainment?
Because you are going after the big score?
Why?
I gamble as returns in it can be higher and there is adrenaline rush attached to its unpredictability. Also, I got into it through a bunch of friends to kill time and have fun. At that time , I started with playing a lil at home with friends which soon got me into visiting casinos at time and trying my chances to win good. It is also entertaining to watch the games and all the emotions attached with it.
