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 now gamble , mostly with crypto to win gains and make side money. But I got into gambling, starting with card games like Rummy & poker for the fun and the card games itself were good to pass time with friends & family. The blinds were low , sometimes not even there but we continued playing as we liked the game and excitement during rare card draws or moves.
